I set up a Calendar event and wanted to receive an email alert. I got this message:
My card and email are obviously already in Contacts. I receive email and have logins to Music etc on this computer, and there are no other accounts. Can anybody explain what's going on? Have I misunderstood this message?
iMac 27″, macOS 13.3
You need a home card for yourself as the owner of the user account you're logged into to. it will appear with this icon in any list in Contacts:

And so did you open Contacts...(?) make some change, poke around, check it out, placate the request...then compare your results.

Yes, I opened Contacts, fiddled about not knowing what to alter. Still not able to set up an email alert. Same thing happens on iMac (Ventura), iMac (Big Sur) and AirBook (Ventura). Here is screenshot of System Settings:
and Contacts:
and Calendar Settings:
There must be something fundamental that I'm overlooking, but it doesn't make any sense to me.
I was completely unaware of that: I shall look into it — thanks!
Sorted! I never knew about it!
Why is Calendar asking me to add my own card to Contacts?
