Try a SafeBoot https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201262
login and test. Reboot as normal and test.
if no insight or resolve test the issue in another user (or guest user) account Set up users, guests, and groups on Mac - Apple Support
This will tell you if it a universal issue or isolated to your user/admin account.
Hi, BLT44,
Thanks for stopping by the Apple Support Communities to get help with your Mac contacts. It sounds like you are having trouble updating and adding contact entries. We'd be happy to assist!
First, see if you're able to edit and add contacts while in safe mode:
If the issue continues after that, we'd also recommend testing in a brand new user account:
Don't hesitate to respond back if the issue continues! If you do, please let us know a few more details about your situation, including:
Best!
Here is some more info… although I haven’t tried a new user account yet.
* Also does not work in safe mode.
* Using latest version of Monterey (12.2.1)
* Reinstalling Monterey didn’t fix
* iMac is a 2019 model… 21.5” retina display with intel CPU
* Use iCloud to sync between Mac, iPhone and iPad
* Can add/edit contacts just fine on iPhone, iPad and in iCloud, but they don’t sync to iMac
* Can’t use local Contacts on iMac… edits look saved when you hit “Done”, but they aren’t there when you go back to look at them
Any ideas ?
Have you tried deleting and reading your contacts in contacts?

Sometimes going to recovery and reinstalling helps.This is not an erase so your files will still be there/
Just tried a new user account and adds/edits worked fine.... so it appears to be unique to the original admin account on the Mac.
Any other suggestions to try ? Thanks.
Is there a support person out there that can follow up on this ??
