An AppleScript to remove Address Book duplicates
Here's a version that considers all contact info fields that would be included in a vCard, instead of just the name fields.

Make sure you comb through to check that you aren't deleting any important notes before you delete records.
You still need to create an empty group "Doubles" in your address book before running this.
Thanks to the original author and other contributors, this saved me a bunch of time.

One note: I'm not sure because I didn't keep tabs on exactly what I did, but it seems like if you delete all groups except "All", comparing vCard attributes finds more duplicates than if you have people in several groups. I'm not clear on this whole vCard thing. |
