  • Weird Contacts list bug

    From D.M. Procida@daniele-at-vurt-dot-org@invalid.com to uk.comp.sys.mac on Sun Apr 26 21:45:05 2026

    Here's a new one... Contacts 14.0 in Sequoia 15.7.5.

    Lists become uneditable a short while after being created, and the ineditability is seems to be triggered by... being edited.

    By editing I mean changing its name, or adding contacts to it. I can do this a little, and then usually within a minute or two of its creation it becomes uneditable.

    After a list becomes uneditable, "Rename list" is greyed out in the Edit menu.

    To me this suggests that the issue is caused by some sort of iCloud sync failure. A partial failure, because the MacBook is still able to collect changes from the cloud.

    It happens only on my MacBook. iCLoud and iOS work perfectly well.

    Bizarrely, once I saw the menu entry appear as "Rename group", also greyed out (Groups was the old name for Lists).

    After an hour of this I am no closer to a fix.
