Hi everyone, I'm having some trouble with Address book. In it, there's "All Contacts" and "All on My Mac". For some reason, "All on My Mac" is missing a lot of contacts from "All Contacts". Worse, when I sync the iPhone and iPad it just syncs with "All on My Mac" and not "All Contacts" so I'm missing a lot on my iPhone/iPad. If I try to make a contact on my iPad, when I sync it goes to "All on My Mac" and then also "All Contacts," so "All Contacts" is definitely the umbrella group with everything. But I can't get them to sync with that group, even though in iTunes I have Sync Contacts and then "All contacts" selected. Any ideas on what I can do? I'm not using iCloud, and don't really want to, since it led to a lot of problems when I tried setting it up.
