Contacts Crashing in High Sierra

Help. My iCloud contacts aren't showing up and my MAC contacts have names only. Soooo, when I try to email, that crashes too.

Some contacts in Mail are greyed-out Hello I'm using a Mac Studio running Ventura 13.1. I don't own or use an iPhone or use iCloud. The contacts were imported from my old iMac by creating an .abbu file. This was imported into Address Book, where they all show up normally. However... When I compose an email, a lot of my contacts aren't available to use. They are visible, but greyed out. Even if I search for an email from one of these people and select "add to Contacts" they still remain greyed out. What is going on?

Contacts app not loading any contacts Since upgrading to macOS 12.0.1 my contacts app is empty most of the time. No contacts shown at all. Only directly after rebooting it does work for a while. When I enable or disable an account it crashes. Topic related to https://discussions.apple.com/thread/253328714

MacOS Contacts disappear while entering! I open the Contacts app, click on the plus sign to enter a new contact, and the new contact page appears. I enter first & last name, start entering an email address or phone number and - *poof* - the new contact window disappears. I end up with a "No Name" card with none of the information I entered is in it. I tried restarting, and the problem persists. The only way I seem to be able to enter a new contact is through iCloud, and that's a hassle. Any idea what's going on or how I can fix it? Thanks! MacBook Pro M1 (2020) MacOS 12.5.1

Hi,

Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), does the problem occur in Safe Mode?
