In Contacts, there's a list of all groups on the left. Selecting one (you don't need to interact with the table, just up/down arrow on it) will cause the list of contacts being displayed to be limited to just that group, and the search box to only search that group. To add a contact, just find

I went into contacts to see if anything has changed. For me I do not think it has. On opening Contacts I was able to navigate left to the Group list table. I could interact with this table to see all my Groups as well as the one which are there by default like All my contacts and On my Mac.

Hi, This duplication is confusing. I would have been better off not trying to put in my contacts o all three devices at once. I worked on some of this yesterday and hope to get a handle on it. Mary Jo Partyka choir...@gmail.com On Jan 4, 2015, at 12:59 AM, Cheryl Homiak cah4...@icloud.com

If you use iCloud to sync your contacts, then you need only enter things on one device. Since all contacts sync, creating two different entries for one person, one entry on each of two devices, will give you a duplicate since both are pushed to all your devices. You can just make entries on

I finally got fed up with all the chaos with contacts on phone, iPad and computer, with lots of duplicates and outdated information still being mixed with the new. I felt this was way beyond the help of just merging contacts or deleting and adding indivicual ones as I've been trying to ignore

To my knowledge, there's no official protocol. Just use what makes sense to you. Be warned, though, that the company field seems to be ignored by iOS devices when you try to type in a contact. I set Apple as the company in a contact and left the name fields blank, and I suddenly couldn't call

Hi, Cheryl, It’s interesting that you posted aobut having problems with Contacts since I am also having problems. I was able to put a few groups together on the Mac but because I haven’t done much with it in the past few months, I feel like I’m back to square one now. I was able to send a

I find groups to be rather confusing - not the concept but the practical setup - but I admit I haven't yet concentrated on this a lot. As for duplications, I've had this problem almost from the beginning of having an iOS device along with my Mac. At one point I was able to straighten it out but
