User level: Level 1 (15 points)Since latest upgrades Mac and iPhone contacts no longer sync? I run the Apple help check list twice, no luck. Ideas? And one other ? since I'm on the community site, had to change email and this site still has the old email and no way to change it but save password still works. Any need to change?

These two items you stated are almost certainly related.
Your Apple Account is defined by a primary email address. Assuming you use iCloud to house your contacts, those contacts are associated with your Apple Account. It seems very likely from the above that you have more than one Apple Account.
There is a proper way to change an Apple Account’s email address.

Thanks for the reply but I spent a few hours with Apple Support and it looks like the engineers are working on a general software fix to be included in a future
software update. Just my luck!
