icloud and Address Book

The solution below worked perfect for me. I did an archive of my address book first. Thanks raulwongroa.

Go to System Pref on your Mac
Click iCloud
Untick Address Book, selected Delete from Mac
Then tick Address Book again, then select Merge

Duplicates will be removed and if you are using Birthdays in your Calendar, you'll notice that the Birthday events are back to single entries as well.

You can try our Merge Duplicate Contacts.
