Merge two Contacts in Mountain Lion (iCloud+Facebook)


Recommended Posts

Hey Guys,

I've just installed the Facebook Plugin on my Mountain Lion rMBP and synced contacts over however it's created some duplicates.

For example.

Generic Contact:

Joe Bloggs

Mobile Number: 0129308120 (for example)

Facebook Contact:

Joe Bloggs

Facebook E-Mail: example@facebook.com

Birthday: Example

IM:

Facebook: Name

But both of these contacts are separate.

Any idea how to merge them?

Thanks

I found a really good third party app in the App Store - Cobook. Add all your services (google contacts, facebook, twitter etc) and It'll find all your contacts, then simply merge/delete whatever and you're left with a final decent address book.

Are you able to fix any mistakes or ones that it misses?

I've not seen any way to achieve this, but any mistakes are human related. Ones it misses are usually double barrel surname related.
