contact names; what are the limitations for 'Contacts'?
Over the last 6 months, my use of 'Contacts' on my 2017 iMac has been getting more and more interrupted by the spinning ball!
When I bought it, I spec'd upto my max savings, hoping to do a lot of Final Cut with my old home movies [ 4.2 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7, Radeon Pro 580 8 GB, 40 GB 2400 MHz DDR4, 2TB SSD ].
Shocked to hear today that my m/c is now a bit 'long in the tooth' and its hardware my not be supported!
Four different Senior Advisors have helped to no avail. We have tweaked, deleted and cleaned files out. We have created a 'New User' on two occasions and re-installed iOS.
I have 2900 cards and 38 'groups'. The problem(s) are spining ball for 10-120 seconds when making changes and when a new contact is created, before it gets 'saved' it just disappears (if it gets remembered at all, it is in a half finished state). On some occasions, I have saved an edit just to find that it has reverted to an earlier version.
I have one group where the Company names are nnnn> e.g. Tesla> (Plymouth). Could the ">" be a problem?
Any advice gratefully received. Thanks Geoff
