Had the same issue, here is the fix:


Shalu, I just experienced this same problem and the following represents my fix given to me by APPLE and it did work. First make sure you correctly set up your cardDAV account and it's titled "Google" with "Contacts" as the sub description. Click on >>settings<< >>Mail, Contacts, Calendars<<. Now look to make sure you see listed under the ACCOUNTS heading the "Google" account with "Contacts" as a sub heading. This confirms you set up your CardDAV correctly. Second scroll down to the "Contacts" heading on this same screen and click on >>Default Account<< click on >>Google<< to make sure there is a check mark to the right. You Are Done!!! Go back to home screen and refresh everything on your computer.
