How do I get some contacts from one iCloud account to another?
Hi Scotty -
Somehow my son lost all his contacts. Can you help him figure out? Please call me when you have a chance. Thanks!

When he signed out of the jonesfamily apple ID, the contacts that were on his phone were most likely associated to that AppleID. They're not gone. They're still in the cloud. But his Dad's cloud. His contacts are most likely combined with his dads and have been for some time I would guess. To get the contacts he wants, I suggest he go to www.icloud.com, log in to the jonesfamily appleID, then go to contacts.
From there, he could either export copies of all the contacts at once or select just the contacts he wants individually then export those. To do this he would use the gear in the bottom right corner of the webpage while in the contacts area:
If he wants to select only some, he can scroll through the list while holding down the command key and click on only his friend's names then choose export card.
To export them all at once, he can click on any one contact, then command + a. This will select all contacts. Then choose export card.
He will now have a new file on the desktop. He'll sign out of icloud.com and sign back in again as his personal appleID. Go back to contacts and select to import vcards. He'll choose the file on desktop he just created and they'll now be in his iCloud account.
