After importing addresses with the 'gear' and "import vcards", I noticed that hundreds of my contacts weren't there. So I went back to my old Mac Mail and added them into Address Book. I then exported Address Book contacts as a "save as" different name, then imported into iCloud address. Now I have hundreds of duplicate addresses. How do I delete the duplicates?
I have a Mac Mini, iPhone 4s and iPad 2. I noticed in the address book on the Mac there were two of each contact so I deleted one of each. This has wiped the entire address book on iCloud and lost contacts on all devices can I get them back? I expect the Cloud has been erased and that I am not able to retrieve my contacts.
There are hidden duplicates in my iCloud contacts - old ones for contacts where I've updated info. They don't show up in the regular contacts list ("all contacts"), yet they always show up when I enter a name into an email address and in iPhoto's Faces names. I can't change them to the correct names in iPhoto. And I can't find them to delete the old data.Anyone know where these are stored (old contact data that's been deleted or updated)? And, how can I access that place?Â

I have no idea why but I can't delete or edit Address Book entries in Lion. It works fine on the web-based client and from my iPad 2 and iPhone 4 (CDMA). But my Address Book.app in Lion only can view them. I've tried turning off the Address Book function and re-adding it. I made sure all permissions are correct for the address book prefs etc are correct.

When I first got my Mac I wanted to put the applications folder in the dock. But I copied it to the desktop first. And then I realized I didn't need to do that. So I put the folder back into the App folder. Now I want to delete them and I need to know if it's okay. Because they seem to be duplicates...but I'm not sure.
It seems that the contacts app has suddenly become incapable of accessing my contacts in the cloud. Its fine on icloud.com, its fine on my phone, and its fine on my ipads. However, I'm getting an error message right now which I think must be to do with an update to Little Snitch which I did almost immediately before, and which necessitated a reboot. Since the reboot, I am seeing the following
Of course, this also means Messages doesnt work. LS is not blocking any icloud things, and calendars and mail are still working with no issues.Â

Whenever I try to delete a contact from MSN Messenger, the following comes up. "The server was unable to remove the user "___" from your contact list."
I recently archived my icloud contacts to my MacBook Pro. In my contacts it shows a "smart group" with the contacts that I recently archived. I've been trying to delete it and I have no such luck.

I can no longer add or delete any contacts in Contacts. I am running Mavericks, 10.9.3 and I have an IPhone 5 which is up to date on its software. I have tried having iCloud syncing on and off and still cannot add or delete contacts on my MacBook Pro (brand new; with Retina display). I have looked for a preference file and cannot even find one that seems to be for Contacts. I can remove contacts from my iPhone, and I can sync it with my laptop, but the contacts I deleted on the phone are not deleted on the laptop. When syncing, which I have tried doing both wired and wireless, it takes forever to finish, it if it does at all. I usually let it set at working on step 5 for about 5 minutes before I just click the round "X" and dismiss the sync box.
I'm on a 17" mid 2010 MacBook Pro running OS X 10.9.3. When I open contacts and try to add a new contact then click done or save it doesn't save after closing. My entry will only exist until closing, when I open up contacts again it's gone. Also I cannot delete a contact. I thought this built in app could just be deleted and a fresh instal could be downloaded but can't find it anywhere
I have multiple email addresses for the same person in Contacts. When I delete the obsolete addresses in Contacts, they keep coming up in Mail when I type in the person's name in the "to" field.Â
After upgrading to Yosemite and doing a Clean Install I can no longer delete Contacts nor drag and drop them to a new group. Using OS 10.10.1. Did the latest update.Â
I have a MacBook Pro and an iPhone 4.I signed up for iCloud using a gmail address. I checked and its the same for both devices.Contacts seems to be syncing with iPhone, but NOT with MacBook?Calendar seems to be syncing with both?
I have recently synched my iPhone 3gs with the iCloud. Then I aslo synched it with my Mac (mac pro laptop running Lion?). Result is that the Address Book on the Mac looks like the one on my iPhone. But, then I added some contacts on my iPhone, returned to the Mac, opened the Mac Address Book, but the new and updated contacts are not there. I thought the iCloud would synch these to the Mac! Also, should I have added the iCloud as an account on my Mac Address Book for this to work? My Mac Address Book preferences only shows two acconts, Yahoo and on my Mac (local).
Sometimes works, sometimes not. IS there a way to force sync them? My ipad currently shows 335 contacts, and my Mac Lion, and iphone show 79.
I have a ton of data on the ipad that I want to access from all devices. Wierdly enough, SOMETIME the transfer occurs, sometimes not. This morning I entered a new contact on the iPad, and it instantly appeared on the Mac and iphone. So why don't the other 280 or so do that!?
I have intentionally disabled the syncing of Contacts on both my Mac and my iPad. In fact, I removed everything from my Address Book before moving my MobileMe account to iCloud so that my contacts would not be automatically uploaded during the initial setup process. Now, to my surprise, I find that all my contacts have been uploaded to iCloud anyway! How did this happen, and how can I prevent it from happening again! I keep sensitive information in my Address Book and do not want that information stored on the internet.
If I am going to connect my Macbook Pros with my I Phone and I Pad through Cloud how do the contacts sync.My laptop has many email addresses on it and my phone contacts are mostly people I call but not necessarily email.So does one set get erased?
