Hello,

I have a problem with my new mid-2014 rMBP. I just got it a few days ago and I've noticed there are two people in my contacts marked as "me". Both myself, and my brother.

He hasn't come in contact with the computer at any time and I can't think of any reason he would be marked as 'me'.

Whenever installing applications, it autofills his name and is rather annoying. I've tried re-marking myself as "me" even though I already am, but it doesn't take it away from him.

Interestingly enough if I mark some random person as "me", the "me" status gets stripped from the real me, but not from my brothers contact page. What could cause this? Nothing I can do removes his "me" status and it's pretty annoying.

Any help would be appreciated!

Perhaps worth a try

1. Copy the data from your brother's card
2. Delete your brother's card
3. Create a new card for your brother and (re)enter the appropriate data.

Did that work?

That did. I looked before and didn't see an option for deleting a card but I found it after reading your post. Let's hope it stays fixed and doesn't make him "me" again haha. Thanks!
