Combine contact lists in Contacts application Guys and Girls, I don't know why I have two lists of contacts in my Contacts application on my iMac. One is "On my Mac" and the other is "iCloud". How can I combine them into one "On my Mac" list? I don't want my contacts in the cloud. Thanks, Phil

How can I Deal with Contacts that are in "All iCloud" AND in "All on My Mac" I do not want or need separate "All iCloud" AND in "All on My Mac" Contacts accounts. I want the same set of unduplicated contacts operating and syncing across my MacBookPro, my iPhone and my iCloud. How do I achieve this? I currently have 2 separate Contacts accounts - "All iCloud" AND in "All on My Mac" This results in when I select "All contacts" I'm being shown many many many (did I say many?) duplicate contacts. I seem to have discovered tonight that these duplicates arise from there being these 2 different Contacts accounts and there being duplicate contacts between the two accounts. But not identical duplicates. Seems. like past edits to one of the duplicate contacts were not transferred automatically to the other duplicate contact. Again, this "feature" of Contacts is driving me nuts. I don't need or want this duplication between 2 separate Contacts accounts - "All iCloud" AND in "All on My Mac" I want one set of all of my contacts to be on Contacts on iCloud and that's that. How do I achieve this?

Merging duplicate iCloud contacts across iPhone, Macbook, and iPad I have an iPhone 16 with iOS 18.3. Regardless of my phone, I’ve always had duplicate contacts. Some contacts have 40 separate entries, others just 1. How can I merge the duplicate contacts through iCloud, so that I have one contact list across all my Apple devices? Many thanks 🙏 [Re-Titled by Moderator]

You have to export the contact from your Google Account and then import it into Contacts. One you do that, in Contact/Card/Look for Duplicates.
