A file compatibility issue is typically the cause of the situation where your exported contacts from Outlook 2019 are not being accepted by iCloud. While iCloud favors contacts in the VCF format Outlook 2019 typically exports contacts in the CSV format. The file is rejected by iCloud since it does not support straight CSV import.

The following are some common reasons for why iCloud refuses to accept your Outlook contacts export-
  • Only VCF files not CSV files are supported by iCloud.
  • Occasionally unusual characters or formatting errors can appear in the output CSV file.
  • iCloud might not be able to process a CSV file if it is excessively large or contains data that is not supported.
How to Solve the Problem

To transfer contacts from Outlook 2019 to iCloud successfully-
  • Start by creating a CSV file from your contacts in Outlook 2019.
  • To enable iCloud to read the CSV file convert it to VCF format.
  • Using the iCloud web interface import the converted VCF file into your iCloud account.
You can use a trustworthy tool because converting data from CSV to VCF manually can be lengthy and prone to errors. The Softaken CSV to VCF Converter is one such choice. This tool assists you in-
  • Quickly create standard VCF files from Outlook 2019 exported CSV contacts.
  • Preserve all contact information including names, phone numbers and email addresses.
  • Instead of converting contacts one at a time save time by converting them in batches.
This method will ensure that your Outlook 2019 contacts are correctly exported and accepted by iCloud without any issues.
