Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
How do you delete duplicate contacts on my computer? There is only one contact per entry on icloud.com contacts.
MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.4)
I only have 1 apple id which is the same as my icloud id. So I am still out in the dark as what to do next.
Thanks
Did you read the support article linked above?
I read the article and followed the directions however when I hit check for duplicates and then merge. Nothing changed with the duplicate contacts.
Do you have contacts that are not on iCloud?
No there are not any contacts in my address book that are not on iCloud.
1. Follow the instructions on the page linked below to back up your contacts directly from iCloud:
Archive or make copies of your iCloud data - Apple Support
2. Back up all data on the computer. Open the iCloud pane in System Preferences. Uncheck the box marked Contacts and confirm that you want to delete the contacts from the computer. They'll still be in iCloud and on your other devices, if any. Verify that your contact database is now empty. If it isn't, and if you're sure that all the contacts you want to keep are on iCloud, delete all the remaining contacts. Then re-check the Contacts box and wait for the contacts to resynchronize from iCloud.
