MobileMe Loses Contacts


MobileMe Loses Contacts

If you use MobileMe, stay away from the contacts app in the web interface.  I mean, you could probably look up a contact or two in there, but don’t use it to do anything serious, like, edit.  You run the risk of losing all your edits and even entire contacts, too.

I set up a new Group in the web interface, and then dragged a bunch of contacts to it.  What I think happened is that the creation of the group didn’t get propagated out correctly, and the subsequent dragging of contacts over to the phantom group was merely sending them off into the ether.

Or, perhaps, it sent them off to someone else’s MobileMe account.  So if you spot some extra contacts you don’t know, let me know.
