-===== Outlook 2010 =====
+iPhones and iPads do not have an export function.  Contacts and Calendars must be synced to iCloud that does have an export function.
-==== Create Archive File ====
+:!: First, on iPhone/iPad sync contacts and calendar to iCloud.
-First, in Outlook, **create a new Outlook data file** to archive into:
+      - Connect your iPhone to the internet. Go to Settings > iCloud.
+      - Enter your iCloud account details.
+      - From the choices, slide the toggle for Contacts and  Calendar to turn it on.
+      - You will get a message confirming syncing.  Wait until the message disappears before closing.
-    * **New Items -> More Items -> Outlook Data File -> Some name**
+===== Export your iCloud calendar as an iCal file =====
-      * Such as ''archive.pst''
-The new personal store (data file) will now be visible as a folder on the left.
+  * Login to your iCloud account.  Click on Calendar.
+  * Publicly share the calendar you want to export by clicking on the signal icon beside the calendar name, and click “Public Calendar”.
-==== Move Messages or Folders to the New Archive File ====
+{{:internet:mail:icloud-public-calendar.jpg?600|}}
-Now you can **create your desired folder structure** in the new data file:
+  * Select and copy the web address from the calendar that you want to export and paste it to your browser’s address bar.
+  * You should notice that it begins with the text, “webcal”. **Replace “webcal” with “http” and then press Enter.** This will initiate the download of your iCloud calendar as an iCal (.ics) file.
-  * Right-click on the folder in which you want a new subfolder
+:!: You may have to add the **.ics** extension onto the downloaded file.
-    * Choose ''New Folder''
-    * Name it something useful
-You can **drag and drop folders or messages** from your primary data file into the new one:
-  * Simple drag and drop will move messages or folders into the new data file
+{{:internet:mail:icloud-calendar-url-webcal.jpg?600|}}
-  * Holding the Control key down while dragging and dropping will copy the messages or folders
-  * Right-clicking while dragging and dropping will prompt you for copy or move
-==== Using the Archive Data File ====
+  * You can import this file into Outlook.
-If you wish, you can just leave the archive file open and displayed in your Outlook folder list.  Or, if you prefer, you can close the archive file and reopen it whenever you want:
+{{:internet:mail:ical-file-download.jpg?600|}}
-  * Right-click on the top-level archive folder on the left
+ ===== Export Contacts from iCloud =====
-    * Choose ''Close...''
+:!: First, on iPhone/iPad sync contacts to iCloud. **See instructions above**

+  * Click the Gear icon bottom left click on **Select All**
+  * Select Export -> .vcf
+:!: Outlook will only import the first contact in a multi contact .vcf file.  You must convert to .csv before importing.  This is done by first importing the .vcf file into the Windows Contacts folder then exporting to .csv.
