Turns out that one shortcut, though it’s certainly not obvious, is to press delete on your keyboard with the card you want to remove selected. You can see I have a fair number of matches for “Ryan” in my Contacts. To start out, I’ll search for the person I want to delete: Ryan Smith-Jones… My guess is that it’s because as is often the case at Apple, the designer errs on the side of a streamlined interface rather than one that makes access to the key features overt and obvious.įortunately, I did figure it out and it turns out that there are two ways to delete entries from your Contacts application, and if you’ve got it synced via iCloud, it’ll then magically disseminate the update to all of your iOS and other Apple devices too.

The same link can be also be used for enabling the display of calendars that have been shared with you that don’t otherwise appear in the Calendar app. You’ll then be given the opportunity to uncheck the Holiday and Contacts calendars which appear on that device. Sign in with your Google/Gmail account, if needed. On each device or computer where you want the calendars hidden, go to this URL in Safari: It’s possible to hide these from being displayed by unchecking them in the left sidebar of Mac Calendar, or from the “Calendars” button on iPhone or iPad, but they’re still there, as a confusing distraction, especially on the Mac Calendar app where their names are always displayed.īut there’s a way to hide them entirely so that they don’t display on your devices at all. When you add a Google calendar to Apple’s Calendar app for Mac, iPhone, or iPad, you get two “calendars” you may or may not want, one for Holidays, which is redundant with Apple’s own Holidays calendar, and another, confusingly, for Contacts.
