My wife recently decided to sort out her contacts on her iPhone. Went thru and deleted duplicates she had to try and get a working list. However she uses her iMac for printing off her address book and labels. When her "All Contacts" list was selected on her iMac all the listing within an "A" grouping for instanced were not in any order nor would they do so with selected options by first or last name. I discovered that all her iMac based ones were the ones in trouble because they all had a space before the surname and as soon as I went thru all her list and removed all spaces in front of first and last names things went into correct order finally. We had a discussion about the fact some of her contacts are showing as "on her mac" and others are in iCloud. When she now selects "All Contacts" on her iMac she is a happy camper. HOWEVER now she sees that not ALL of her contacts are on her iPhone. I assume this his partly due to the iPhone used to be backed up directly on the iMac and now she does her backups of the iPhone on iCloud coupled with her editing out contacts on her iPhone now knowing which one was iCloud vs on her iPhone with her purge.
So now she wants to have what she sees on the iMac "Al Contacts" selection showing on her iPhone too match. Seems reasonable however I do not know how to change all her contacts listed "on my mac" to be also showing as being on "iCloud" so they will be then seen on her iPhone?? Is there an option somewhere to click to have them in both places or is this a manual type all them over again into iCloud location? Thanks for any light that can be shed on this now family issue.
