If you use iCloud, please uncheck the box marked Contacts in the iCloud preference pane. Press return to confirm in the dialog that opens.

If you synchronize contacts with any other network service, disable that synchronization in the Internet Accounts preference pane.

Test.

Hi Linc Davis

thank you for your answer.

I uncheck the icloud account of contact, but not work

in internet accounts, I saw no other account but icloud.

I finally found a a way to solve this problem.

1. disable the mac protection in recovery mode using "csrutil disable"

2. rename AddressBookSourceSync using "

sudo mv AddressBookSourceSync.app AddressBookSourceSync.bak

"

thank you

What you choose to do with your own computer is your affair. I just want to warn anyone else who finds this discussion not to follow your example.

Only solution that worked for me. Using El Capitan 10.11.6, this wakelock just would not go away.

Since I don't even use the Contacts/address book functionality at all, and therefore obviously have 0 contacts, it makes no sense at all for this utility to be running in the first place, let alone holding a wakelock. Completely UNACCEPTABLE.

Thanks for the solution, useless file has been renamed, and will be forgotten.

Thanks for this. I wasted enough time trying to figure out how to do this nicely and followed many of the online 'fixes' to no avail. I needed the nuclear option and this is perfect. I still have my google contacts and they still seem to sync.
