Contacts is corrupted. Spinning ball city.

My Contacts program on my iMac has been corrupted for a long time. I work around it as my iPhone version seems fine. Can I get some help uninstalling and reinstalling the program?

Boot into Restore mode,CMD+r keys...


Look at top of screen for Utilities menu...

In Disk Utility>View, select Show all Devices, highlight the top left entry.


Run Disk First Aid on all items in the left panel, from top down.


Are you running any VPN, Anti-Virus, or Cleaning apps?


We need to see what all is running, a report from this will not display any personal info...
