2 apple IDs causing Contacts problems
I have an iPhone, iPad and desktop mac. I use Contacts for a couple of large mailing lists. I want to be able to have my contacts synced across all my devices.
The problem is that I accidentally have 2 different Apple IDs. Apple says tough luck, you can't merge them. So new contacts get put randomly in one or the other, and when I send out a group email, some old addresses get fetched up from who-knows-where and people say, "I unsubscribed a year ago and you're still sending me emails!" Not good for credibility.
I took care of this once, but after installing the last OS update, it's all back again. And it makes Mail and Contacts run r e a l l y s l o w.
How do I get everything synced without causing Contacts to make duplicates?? Here's a screenshot to explain the problem. Some of my contacts have 4-5 duplicates.
Don't tell me to run the duplicates command, that doesn't fix it!!
