Tired of screwed-up Contacts cards with Facebook profile links?
Annoyed with getting notifications every day that won't go away about so-and-so's birthday?
If you've ever synced your Contacts with Facebook, there's a chance that you got a really screwed up Contacts as a result. This will help you clean up your Contacts.
- Delete all birthdays (so they don't pop up in Mac/iPhone and stay there)
- Delete all Facebook fields
- Delete all Homepages for people that start with "fb://"
- BACKUP YOUR CONTACTS! File > Export > Contacts Archive...
- Download the ZIP of this repository and run
neat-contacts.scpt
, or copyneat-contacts.applescript
into an AppleScript Editor window. - Figure out for which people you want to make the change. You can leave it as it is to change everyone, or you can do it for a specific person (maybe to test it).
- Decide which of these tools you want to use.
- For the tools that you don't want to use, simply delete them.
- Run the script.
