How to Transfer Contacts From Google Apps to a Google Account

Your account in Google Apps is distinctly different from your regular Google account. If you are moving from a Google Apps account to a regular Google account, you can export your Google contacts in Google CSV format and import them into your Google account. Google recommends using the Google CSV format for transferring contacts between Google accounts. Gmail’s contact manager can import Google CSV-format files directly, preserving all your contacts and their associated information.
