The Spinning Wheel of Death?

Why do I encounter the "spinning wheel of death" every time I try to enter new data or change a current listing in my contacts? It takes a long time for the wheel to stop spinning so I can make a change. And then it starts again if I want to make another change.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.2

Hi HenryEScott,


From your post, it sounds like you're seeing a spinning wheel when updating contacts on your MacBook Air. To start, let's go ahead and update macOS to the current version: Update macOS on Mac - Apple Support


Are your contacts stored in iCloud? If not, are they stored locally on the MacBook Air? We'd like to see if we can isolate the issue to a specific account that the contacts are stored to.


Take care.
