Windows 10: Importing contacts from Google

I cannot import my contacts into Outlook from Google. After I export the .csv file from Google, and try to import it into Outlook, I get the following message:

Import/Export Contacts


Hi,

Basically, I want to manually sync contacts back and forth, between my computer and my phone.

Going from computer to phone, the easiest way for me has been exporting/backing up the computer's .vcf file, moving it to my phone, delete my phones current contact list, and then importing the .vcf file from the computer, which instantly results in an complete, updated list.

However, going in the other direction is my problem.

If I try to do the same in reverse, trying to import the .vcf file into the computer contacts, it wants to do it one contact at a time, instead of the full list all at once.

I suppose they can be Imported/Exported thru gmail, but I would prefer doing it directly...phone contacts only, without importing gmail contacts

Thanks

 

My iPhone can't sync the contacts to Mac

have you tried importing the contacts form the phone to google contacts then syncing then exporting them from there to a file on the computer then importing that into the address book
or you can also go through the info page in itunes for your phone and sync contacts from the phone to the computer that way by checking the box that says sync contact to then select address book
There is a step by step instruction on How to transfer iPhone contacts to my iMac. Hope it can do you a favor.

 

Google contacts not sync

Thanks to JanGertru. This solution really worked flawlessly. Got back all my contacts in my Lumia 920.

To summarzine:

• In Google account settings,
  • I enabled 2-step verification
  • Generated an app specific password (some random number you don't have to remember)
• In Windows Phone
  • Deleted my Google mail account
  • Created the Google account and used the "app specific pwd" generated above (instead of my regular Google password.
  • Initially only few contacts were visible.
  • but i left the fone for a few minutes and checked back and voila ..all contacts restored !

I was skeptical about the Gcontacts tool, as din't want to take a risk of all contacts via a 3rd party tool. The whole reason Google implemented this 2-step verification is to avoid such intermediate entities.

Google should have better communicated this to their users .. rather and wait for them to blackout and we all figure this out ourselves.

Thanks again, JanGertru !

Thanks for breaking down the steps!
