Appointment at Apple Store

I need to make an in-person appointment at the Eaton Centre Apple Genuis Bar for two reasons. The transfer of my 12pro to my 14pro didn't work. Outlook wouldn't upload all data. Second, I have 61,500 contacts because it pulls all data through the cloud, so even emails, letters, etc. appear as a contact in my phone - has been going on for years. Help!

iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 16

Can't Add A New Contact..a crummy workaround I am working off Ventura 13.2.1 but this problem has existed forever...you try to add a new contact and, when you get to last name, it zaps it to "no recipient" at the bottom of contacts. If you go into Mac mail, and have used the persons email, you type the email address so system recognizes it. Hit the drop down next to the email address and choose "add to contacts." The person may already be showing up in contacts by their email address with that address being their name. From there, hit edit...put the persons name in where it belongs, you can add a phone number (or anything else), and the email address should already be populated. I still have synching with my iPhone issues. Updating/changing distribution lists is still impossible (I just create an on-going email, add/delete from that for the various groups I am in, and then cut-n-paste from that e-mail) I switched to Apple 14 years ago (phone, iPad, MacBook, now a Mac) for the basic reason that everything would synch and work perfectly in one environment. Perhaps I need to create a g-mail contacts list. This seems like such a basic thing that Apple should be able to and make it a priority to fix

Why are fields missing in my iPhone app for my contacts? I have information stored in my contacts / address book on my macbook pro that is important to me and I can't find any way to add missing fields to my iPhone app so that the information is always available to me. Why is this the case? Doe Apple arbitrarily determine what information we can share across own personal devices? There seems to be a disturbing trend in Apple making it more like the hated Microsoft controlled environment that drove me to Apple in the first place. Is anyone aware of a third party app for maintaining contact information that syncs completely across all devices and to non apple devices? I'm looking to move my personal computer needs to providers who care about providing me a service more than controlling my access to a service. My iPhone v. MacBook Air problem is small potatoes but it is a canary in the coal mine issue.
