I have an anomaly with my Contacts native app. It will duplicate an entry as many as 20 times for no apparent reason. Does anyone have any suggestions? I am using an iMac running 10.13.6. The duplicates seem to appear in my Gmail account in the app. Thanks

Are you syncing iCloud with any other devices?


Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at startup), does the problem occur in Safe Mode? Could take 10 minutes.


Safe mode attempts to repair Disks & clears lots of caches & loads safe Drivers, & prevents loading of 3rd party extensions, so if Safe Mode works try again in regular boot.
