How do I download my contacts from the cloud into the Mac

I have been updating my contacts into the cloud but I would like to have the updated records physicaly on the Mac. I don't know how import them into my Mac.

I'm not fully sure what you want to do.
If your contacts are at iCloud.com and you want them synced to your mac, just turn on contact syncing in system preferences > iCloud.
If your contacts are in iCal in your iCloud account and you want them in your on my mac account, just drag them to On My Mac in users and groups.
If they are in iCloud.com and you want them in iCal in your On My Mac account, do both of the above or make sure On My Mac is the default account in iCal and choose export from the options from the gear icon at iCloud.com.

    Make sure Contacts is selected in System Preferences > iCloud. That should sync your contacts on your Mac automatically.

  • How do I download an app from the Mac App Store but not install it yet?

    How do I download an app from the Mac App Store but not install it yet?
    Can I simply download it and not install?
    What if the App gets updated before I download it?
    Why? Well, I am very busy and wish to install at my leisure even though I have purchased the App (required at a specific day in the month in order to appear on my business accounts).
    Thanks.

    There is a difference in what Kappy stated and what you stated. A major paid upgrade (v2.x to v3.0), yes, costs money, as it would in any other delivery stream. Updates (v3.0 to v3.1) to a a major version are free.
    Most apps sold through the Mac App Store (MAS) are the type that use the simple drag & drop installation. Those are downloaded directly to the designated apps folder and installation is done. Large pro-type apps download an installer to your Apps folder. Those you can install at your leisure. The MAS does not have a lot of apps using this type of installation.
    Be sure to always backup your MAS purchases, because there is no guarantee that the app will always be available for download in the future and it is your responsibility to archive copies.

  • How do I download an app from the Mac App Store but not install it and save to do later?

    I'm getting the free Lion download for new Macs from the Mac App Store, but am not ready to install it yet. It appears that apps (including Lion?) from the App Store automatically install themselves. Is there any way to save an App Store download (.dmg?) for later installation without having it automatically install? I asked Apple Support via chat, and they said it could be installed later but couldn't tell me how.

    The Lion download is different than small apps. What you get with Lion is an installer. But be sure to make an extra copy because after using the installer it deletes itself.

  • I would like to know how to extract my old contacts from the iTunes backup? Please explain in basic english i am a beginner

    I have had my old Iphone 5s replaced with a new one but I would like to know how to extract my old contacts from the iTunes backup? Please explain in basic english i am a beginner

    Hey,
    I think you will find that you have to have a debit/credit card stored on yur account regardless of whether your have iTunes Credit or want to purchase a free App. I don't know why, I assume its for ID verification or is part of the terms and conditions. I occasionally have to re-verify my credit card info even when just trying to run Update on one of my Apps or like I said downloading a free App.
    If you need further clarification all you can do is contact iTunes Support:

  • How do I get my contacts from the icloud on pc?

    How do I get my contacts from the icloud on pc? I am not able to get my contact on a different phone. I can't even see my contact without iphone.
    So tell me from where i'll be able to get my contact or contact backup in pc

    If your contacts are in iCloud, you can view them from your PC at icloud.com.  You can also download them as a vCard as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3606.   If your computer meets the system requirements, you can also sign into your iCloud account on your computer and sync the contacts using Outlook (PC) or Address Book/Contacts (Mac), as explained here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/.

  • How do I add a contact from the same company to my address book?

    How do I add a contact from the same company to my address book? I do not want to re-type all of the information. Thanks for your help.

    Any card in your address book can be duplicated. Select the card within the Name column, and use the Edit > Copy menu item followed by the Edit > Paste menu item. Then you can update the card copy and only change the name/email/phone fields as needed.

    how can I download a video from the net? is there is any special download softwear than realplayer?

    There are a variety of file formats for storing and sending video. You will probably want to install VLC, which handles most open formats. RealPlayer is used on their proprietary format.

  • How to I get my contacts from the iCloud  to my new phone

    I am having problems with my new iphone5 the lady in the shop saved all my contacts on the iCloud and said I could get them once I have started up my new phone.does anyone know how I can get my contacts from the iCloud to new iPhone. Thanks

    It depends on how she saved them on iCloud.  Check your contacts on icloud.com from your computer.  If they are there, all you need to do is go to Settings>iCloud, sign in with your iCloud ID, then turn Contacts to On. 
    If your contacts aren't on icloud.com, she may have simply backed up your phone to iCloud.  If that's the case, you would have to restore the backup to your new phone by going to Settings>General>Reset, tapping Erase All Content and Settings (which will erase the phone), then go through the setup screens on the phone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud backup.

    Time Machine is a back up you have to set up to back up before there is a problem like a hard drive failure.
    It is possible to recover files from a failed drive, but it is an expensive proposition.
    There is a faint hope that an app like Disk Warrior or TechTool Pro might repair the drive. You could try making an appointment at an Apple store and ask a technician there to take a look... the diagnosis will not cost you.

    Update the version of iTunes on your computer. If the computer's currently running 10.5.8 or 10.6.8, this may require upgrading its OS.
