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
iMac 27″, macOS 13.2
Ok, thanks, Barney. Sounds like a good solution. If I deselect the iCloud contacts will I still be able to sync my "On my Mac" contacts with my iPhone contacts?
Yes, using the Finder interface. However, I haven't used that system since iCloud came about. I only say yes because I see it offered in the interface.

When you sign into iCloud with your AppleID, there are options to use the different services with iCloud (Mail, Contacts, Calendars). Go into iCloud System Settings and deselect the Contacts (and whatever else you don't want to use).
It will ask what you want to do with the data on the cloud, if they are all duplicates, choose not to keep them. If you do keep them, you will get duplicates in the On My Mac account.
Thanks again, Bernie. I deselected Contacts from the cloud but didn't like the result. So I reselected Contacts again and everything went into the cloud. That's not what I originally wanted but I'm happy now that I only have one list now.
