| Nov 4, 2020 at 22:39 | comment | added | Motti Shneor | Thank you so much for this question and answer. I spent days struggling with this, going the same way you did - only for some reason this question only popped up when I set to write my own (same...) question. Maybe the name could be improved for others to find. | |

Really odd situation. Your MacBook Pro must has a corrupted Contacts database that’s preventing contacts from being displayed until they’re “rebuilt” by updating their entry. You could wipe your local files, but be prepared to restore in case something goes wrong. There are files under Application Support/Address Book, Caches/com.apple.AddressBookSourceSync, Saved Application State/com.apple.AddressBook.savedState and Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.plist (all under ~/Library). Delete these while signed out of iCloud. Once that’s done, reboot and sign back in to iCloud.

| Mar 17, 2017 at 15:37 | comment | added | user11633 | Since modifying a contact causes it to sync to the MacBook, it might be possible to drag all your contacts into a group, then taking them out. I don’t know if changing groups would be enough or if each contact needs an actual field update. | |
| Mar 17, 2017 at 15:30 | comment | added | Matteo | I could try but I am not completely sure that there everything is OK. | |
| Mar 17, 2017 at 15:27 | comment | added | user11633 | Would you be able to export/reimport all your contacts using your Mac Mini? If I understand you correctly, the Mac Mini is syncing correctly. | |

| Mar 17, 2017 at 14:58 | comment | added | Matteo | Before voting again to close please read both questions. | |
| Mar 17, 2017 at 14:57 | comment | added | Matteo | @fsb: no the question is answered and one of the answers is accepted. The user had the contacts on his machine and was able to export/import them. It's not my case. I habe only 200 contacts on my mac. I have to find a way to fetch the others. To put a bounty on the other question I would have to change it in a significant way. | |
| Mar 17, 2017 at 14:55 | comment | added | fsb | You should probably add a bounty to that other question instead of opening a new question for the same/similar issue. | |
| Mar 17, 2017 at 14:51 | comment | added | Matteo | @fsb Not really all the suggestions are covered in my examples (I did read the answer you are referring to). I added a note to each proposed answer | |
