Setting the Contact Card on Your MacBook Air

My interest in this topic stemmed from an initial problem when I was importing new contacts. iOS kept pre-filling my information with information from another contact card that I had stored in iCloud. It wasn’t immediately obvious how to change this setting so, after some digging, I found how I needed to go about using a different contact. Simply follow the information below to learn how to make that change on your own MacBook Air. Step 1: Click the System Preferences icon in the dock at the bottom of your screen.

  Step 2: Click the Users & Groups option in the System section on the System Preferences window.

  Step 3: Click the Open button to the right of Contacts Card at the center of the window.

  Step 4: Click the contact card from the list of contacts that you want to use as your contact card. Step 5: Click Card at the top of the window, then click the Make this My Card option.

  You should now have a silhouette to the right of the contact card that you just selected, and iOS will use the information on that card to pre-fill any information that requires a contact card.   If you have been wondering about how to set up and use iCloud on a Windows PC, you should read this article about changing iCloud settings with the iCloud Control Panel.
