macOS Contacts

Whenever I try to enter a New Contact, on my 2021 MacBook Pro 13" with macOS Big Sur 11.6 installed, in the middle of typing the info, Contacts suddenly flashes out of what I'm trying to type and shows another contact that is irrelevant. I can't finish entering complete info for any New Contact without this happening...?

Apple personnel are not here. We're all users like yourself trying to help each other.


Try the following: boot into Safe Mode according to Start up your Mac in safe mode - Apple Support and test to see if the problem persists. Reboot normally and test again.


NOTE: Safe Mode boot can take up to 3 - 5 minutes as it's doing the following; 

• Verifies your startup disk and attempts to repair directory issues, if needed

• Loads only required kernel extensions (prevents 3rd party kernel/extensions from loading)

• Prevents Startup Items and Login Items from opening automatically

• Disables user-installed fonts 

• Deletes font caches, kernel cache, and other system cache files
