Yes. I had some iCloud syncing issues on my mac and deactivated iCloud and reactivated it. My safari bookmarks and tabs were syncing again, but it also duplicated my contacts onto my machine. I still have to resolve that. Any suggestions?

I still wonder why the ranker would score Sketchup higher than the contact Seth for the input "seth", that sound wrong to me. Contiguous letters at the start of a name should be a better match than skipping every other letter, right?
