    Contacts app alternative (or help me fix Contacts)

    I've always used Contacts, but it is unstable. This problem is ONLY on my Macbook; iOS is fine. I use an M1 MBP, but I've had the problem before in my 2014 MBP. When I'm entering a contact, the card will suddenly disappear before I can hit "Done." All the data seems to disappear. I may get one...

    Issue synching iCloud Contacts across devices

    Synching Contacts with iCloud has been inconsistent across multiple devices, and I have unsuccessfully tried the usual solutions (i.e., logging out of iCloud and logging back in, turning Contacts synching off and on). So, I thought I would download a clean vCard (with about 2,000 addresses) from...

    Universal How does Contacts sort my contacts?

    Does anybody know what is the logic of how the Contacts app sorts contacts? Some of my contacts include only the first name and some both first name and last name. And here is how they are sorted: Ilya Nikita Timofey Yaroslav Dmitriy A... Aleksandr Mikhail D... This order doesn't make any...

    My contacts card keeps resetting

    Ever since iOS 16, the custom labels on my contacts card, as well as a few others in my address book, keep reverting to the generic labels. (E.g, my “home” address and “work” address just go back to being labeled “address.” Mobile and work labels for phone just say “phone.”) I’ll fix them, and...

    Get contacts from Mail into Outlook (new)?

    A client of mine has asked for help moving from a 10-year-old MacBook to an M2 Air. I'm a marketer not a computer guy but have been the family & friends "to go" because I know how to google! I switched from Wintel with the first M1 Air and am pretty conversant in Monterey and M1s, but I know...

    iOS/iPadOS/MacOS contact labels/changes don't persist

    Hello, I made a trip outside the country a few weeks ago and since I came back I have had a persistent annoying problem. When I edit a contact to add a picture or a label(phone) or add a label to my addresses("home" & "work"), in about 8-12 hours it just reverts back. - Address label...

    Why won’t Contacts app synchronize across my devices?

    I use an iPad Pro 11” iOS15.3, a iPhone11Pro w iOS15.3, and an iMac w Monterey. Can anyone tell me why signing in and out of my Apple account on all my devices, then signing back into will not sync my contact lists. Why do I find some contacts disappearing on me, or on one device and not the...

    HELP re: Contacts-Merge does NOT consider newest contact re: Notes at bottom

    Unfortunately I had double contacts from a migration a year or so ago. With 2000 contacts I just didn't deal with it as I believed I had to do so individually. I've deleted some as I've gone along, but still lots. Then, I just got a new Mac and now I have 4 of almost all Contacts! (Almost 8K...

    Focus

    It would be nice add a Group of contacts rather than 1 contact at a time. I have over 1000 contacts in my Work Contacts group. No one will choose all 500 rather than selecting the group.

    Universal Most of my Contact groups have disappeared

    A few weeks ago, I noticed that most of my groups on Contacts had disappeared. The contacts were still there but not the contacts. I think, but I'm not sure, that it started when I rebooted my mac mini for the first time in three years. There used to be 40 groups, but contacts on iCloud.com is...

    After upgrading the OS, there's a glitch in the Contact app that tech support couldn't fix

    I recently upgraded from Yosemite to High Sierra (and wish that I hadn't ... but that's another story!) The Contacts app changed in a weird way: I have a very large number of Smart Groups. Before the upgrade they behaved exactly the way they should: They had "Contains cards which match the...
