Contact app won't stay in the dock on my MacBook Pro

I have set the settings for the Contact app to stay in the Dock, but it won't. Every time I close the app and want to open it again I have to go to the Finder. How can I make it stay in the dock?

Try restarting the Mac in safe mode and make the settings changes.

Safe mode will often correct weird software behavior by forcing the OS to clear caches, do disk repair and other self-maintenance and housekeeping and temporarily disables third-party mods.


You can exit safe mode by restarting your Mac normally, then reevaluate the problem.
