how to convert mac address book to mac contacts

By the way, I backed up the contacts first before doing anything. So it appears that something was busted in the icloud sync and refilling the icloud contacts with everything seemed to work. After more spining wheel, i checked my iphone and my contact list now contained all the missing contacts.

After enduring the spnning wheel for a while, I was asked if i wanted to import all the contacts (2800 were duplicates.). I thin dragged this highlighted list to the 'icloud contacts' item in the left nav pane. I went back to 'all contacts' and highlighted the entire list of 2850 contacts. I then checked the 'icloud contacts' and that list was missing the contacts that were missing on my iphone. i checked for the 'all contacts' and everything was correct. So following advice on one of the posts above I went to the left nav pane of contacts on my macbook because it had all the contacts intact. i had done no changes in the intervening week EXCEPT i had deleted multiple duplicate contacts, none of which were even close to the missing contacts. checking icloud, it seemed even more contacts were missing.

multiple iphone contacts were missing even though they had been there the week before. I have iphone6s, macbook pro with high sierra, and icloud. Here is the fix that worked for me so far.
