Contacts app is not working

is anybody else having problems with the Mac Contacts App? Since the last Monterey 12.0.1 update, Contacts has stopped working.


MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.0

I have a problem too. The contacts app is launching and once, directly after rebooting, it did show my dav contacts. But most of the time when I launch it, it is completely empty.


When I enable or disable an account it crashes.


It was working ok before upgrading to macOS 12. I am running 12.0.1.


It is crashing quite often ever since macOS 11.

Califgrl—having worked on trying to resolve this issue for over a year, I think today I have finally solved it. At least I can finally add and edit new Contacts so far...

>> I found advice in MacRumors—and this fixed it! I went to Contacts/Preferences/General Tab, and made my iCloud primary. It was set on Gmail (though I don't recollect ever opting for that). Voila! At very long last...

PS I use multiple email accounts on iCloud, Gmail and Outlook, and really would hate having to go to multiple browser interfaces instead of Apple Mail and Contacts. So happy that I could finally get this awful issue resolved.
