[QUOTE="Terabyte, post: 1711140, member: 372377"] I have created 2 backups of my Contacts on my Mac. One .vcf and the other archive, basically because I did not know which would be needed where, so I was playing it safe. I wanted to import my Contacts into Yahoo UK mail. When I tried the .vcf backup, I only got 49 out of 384 contacts. So then I tried the archive backup but it will not import because it is too big. Now I am worried that I really do not have my contacts backed up. Since I have been learning how to use Contacts and syncing them with iCloud, I have had so many problems with duplicates, missing Contacts, completely changed such as adding United States of America (I always use USA so I don't know where that comes from) in contacts living in other countries, etc - I think possibly Gmail related? The other thing that I notice is that my Mac Contacts total 384, but my iPhones are 383... Anyway, what do you think I am doing wrong and how can I make sure that my contacts really are backed up correctly? [/QUOTE]
