Can I download all my contacts into numbers?

I want to create a contact list from my ipad contacts list. Can I move them as a group into numbers [or similar] rather than copying them over one by one.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Being able to download them all in one action would somewhat negate the purpose of iTunes match, you might as well just sync everything from iTunes and be done.
You can however download the complete catalogue from an artist or a whole album at a time, in addition to single tunes.

How can I move all my contacts into a single email group from all the other group?

I've got several email accounts, but my contacts are spread across them. Of course, when I access or search my contacts they do all get searched together, but I need to delete an account and this will result in me losing many contacts.
So before I do this, I want to consolidate all my contacts into my main personal email group account. But short of doing them one by one, I can't find a way and I have several thousand contacts at risk of being lost.
Can anyone advise me?

Go to your Contacts on your Mac - if more than one pick the most accurate; delete any contacts you don't want. Select all the contacts, and from the File menu choose 'Export...'>'Export vCard'. Save the resultant file safely: it will be your 'master' list.
Now delete all the contacts from whichever device has the most in it. Sync with iCloud. If necessary repeat with different Macs. The result should be that the deletions sync to iCloud and in the end you finish up with empty Contacts lists everywhere.
Now you can import your saved file to one of your Macs. Make sure you import it under 'iCloud' not 'On My Mac'. Then it should propagate iCloud and any other devices. Keep the saved file at least until you are satisfied that all is in order.

How can I get contacts into Numbers spreadsheet

How can I get my contacts into a Numbers spreadsheet, please help since the OS X mavericks upgrade I cant drag them and I dont know how to get them into the spreadsheet now can anyone help

And here's a way to get some actual information from Contacts into Numbers 3.0.
1. Copy/paste the script below into AppleScript Editor.
2. Select the cards in Contacts that you want.
3. Click the green run button in AppleScript Editor.
4. Click a cell in Numbers and command-v to paste the data in.
That should result in something like this:
Here is the script:
--Places tab-separated Contacts data on the system clipboard for pasting into a table
--usage: select one or more contacts in Contacts, run, select a cell in a table and paste
tell application "Contacts"
          set {tsvData, contacts} to {"", selection}
          if selection is not {} then
                    set tsvData to "Name" & tab & "Phones" & tab & "Street" & tab & "City" & tab & "Zip" & tab & "Emails" & return --header row
                    repeat with thisPerson in contacts
                              set {thisPhone, thisEmail} to {"", ""}
                              set {thisName, thisID} to {name, id} of thisPerson
                              set {thisStreet, thisCity, thisZip} to {street, city, zip} of the first address of thisPerson
                              set phoneProperties to properties of phones of thisPerson
                              repeat with j from 1 to (count of phoneProperties)
                                        set thisPhone to thisPhone & value of item j of phoneProperties & " "
                              end repeat
                              set emailProperties to properties of emails of thisPerson
                              repeat with j from 1 to (count of emailProperties)
                                        set thisEmail to thisEmail & value of item j of emailProperties & "   "
                              end repeat
                              set tsvData to tsvData & thisName & tab & thisPhone & tab & thisStreet & tab & thisCity & tab & thisZip & tab & thisEmail & return
                    end repeat
set the clipboard to text 1 thru -2 of tsvData -- remove trailing return
                    tell application "System Events" to display dialog "Click in cell and <command-v>" buttons {"OK"} default button 1
          else
                    tell application "System Events" to display dialog "Select at least one card in Contacts and run again" buttons {"OK"} default button 1
          end if
end tell
This is not as nice as the old vcard drag and drop import. It's a simple example and probably needs some customizing because there are so many different ways people store information in Contacts. But this approach can meet most needs, if it's not convenient to leave the data in Contacts and link to it.

How can I drag contacts into numbers like the old version?

How can I drag contacts into numbers like the old version?

Copy and paste works. But drag and drop is also back in version 3.2. It works well here. Just drag and drop onto the canvas.Make sure you've upgraded to version 3.2 as earlier versions of Number 3 did not support drag and drop from Contacts.
Note that the column headers are misaligned if you are dragging contacts that do not contain an image. But the information in the body of the table drags in correctly.

Help, I can not drag and drop address book contacts into numbers.

i have read the manual. watched videos on youtube, but I can not drag and drop address book contacts into numbers or pages. I upgraded to Numbers 09. set up the fields as stipulated, but when I drag a contact to the numbers canvas it just bounces back to address book. I tried reinstalling 09 thinking it was a faulty install. no luck. Have tried dragging to balnk part of canvas, to the table, and to a table with fields, no luck.
Thank you.

Could be a preferences setting. See Jerry's post in this thread.

Problem exporting contacts into Numbers

I am able to drag and drop contacts into Numbers where it creates a table with all the information.
However, in the Address book several people have multiple 'work' phone numbers, or multiple 'emails'. This means that when the contact is dragged into Numbers, Numbers only recognises the first 'work' number, and doesn't include the second 'work number'.
For example, Bobby has work number: 0758694338557 and another work number: 0795338663546. Both of these are present in contacts, but when dragged into numbers, only 0758694338557 is visible under the column(field) titled work number.
Any suggestions on how I can get two 'work' numbers under the same field name, to be present in Numbers

Check to see if any columns are hidden by opening the contextual menu for any column:

Importing Contacts into Numbers?

Does anyone know why each time I drag a contact into numbers it creates a new Table for each contact. This adds lots of unnecessary additional columns, all redundant from the first import. Would like to just have each contact import onto the one page and into appropriate fields. I spoke to Apple about this and they seem to think it's either a bug or nobody has ever wanted to do this even though this option is detailed in the help info in numbers.

You probably want to use the Feedback feature of Numbers (under the Numbers menu) to report this bug. Meanwhile, I can offer a work around. Discovering that each drag/drop resulted in a new table, I selected 2 contacts - they were placed in Numbers in a single table. So your work around is to create a group in Address Book and then select all the members of the group at once. This is feasible as long as you don't anticipate adding people to the sheet later.

How can I download/update my contacts between my MacBook address and my iPhone 5?

Hi,
Can anyone help me on this problem?
How can I download/update my contacts between my MacBook address and my iPhone 5? They don't sync with each other. Thanks

Welcome to Apple Discussions, Catwang!
You can use iTunes to sync the two devices. See the KB article, iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer and iTunes for Mac: sync contacts, calendar and other info.
If you want to use iCloud, your MacBook needs to use at least OS 10.7.4 or later. See Set up iCloud on all your Devices.

My apps are being deleted because my iphone 4 is on ios 4.2.7. So I want to upgrade. So I installed itunes, rebooted, and followed instruction. I want to verify my contacts from my PC somehow, but in the ...\mobilesync folder, all the files seems encrypted in hex names with binary data contact. Help, how can i very all my contacts intact before I blow away all the data/contacts/photos on my phone to do an upgrade. Thank you in advance!

I didn't use icloud because I had 6Gb photos, and it recommended to use itunes because of that. I did the itunes backup. I don't have outlook installed. You think from windows contacts I can import them from my iphone? How? Thanks for the reply though..getting there.

Do you mean they are on the web at iCloud.com or on your PC in an iCloud client (such as Outlook)

Might have luck with that here > Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer on the iTunes Store.
Make sure and use the same Apple ID that was used for the original purchases.

How can I direct all my contact form replies (from my website), to my personal email address?
I have embedded the code to my website but would like all of my contact form replies to be directed to my email address. How can I do this by revising the embedded code. Also will I still be able to receive replies after recieving 5000? At this point will I need a premium account?

Email notifications are a feature of the Basic and Plus account.
The free account only allows for 50 responses. The Plus (Premium) account allows for 5000.
