I finally got fed up with all the chaos with contacts on phone, iPad and computer, with lots of duplicates and outdated information still being mixed with the new.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 this problem for quite a while. After careful backing up of all my contact information, I deleted contacts for all accounts on all devices and deleted all contacts in the application on my computer. So now I'm choosing the contacts I really want to keep and am adding all the information back on my computer first. Then I'll turn contacts back on in all accounts on devices.
The one thing I am not sure of is what to do about email lists when putting the information in Contacts on my computer. There are fields for first and last name and company and a checkbox for company but an email list doesn't quite fit either of these choices. I hesitate to put macvisionaries, for example, in as a first or last name or a company but don't know if I should just put the email address in without a name iname; I'm pretty sure this will disorganize things. Is there an accepted protocol I should follow for this? Thanks for any help with this. -- Cheryl I tried and tried to turn over a new leaf.
