Now when I go to add a new contact in the "contact" app on my Mac (High Sierra os), while I am typing in the information it will all of a sudden refresh with the contact information that is next in line. Very odd. I use gmail to store my contacts (via the Apple Contacts App). Has anyone else seen this issue? Any resolution? Or a software bug?
MacBook Pro (15-inch Early 2011), macOS Sierra (10.12)
Reinstalled macOS from the recovery screen. Same issue with the contacts. Since the issue wasn't there with Sierra and is only there now with High Sierra, I have to think it is something in High Sierra, but I am surprised a ton of folks aren't complaining about it.
Any other ideas? Apple was terrible on the case and I never got a call back. I guess I can try them again.
Thanks! That solved my problem.
This is a very irritating problem. Why isn't Apple paying attention to so many people brining this up and doing something about it?
Darn, it does not work for me. I use Gmail, and don't use iCloud for anything. No doubt Apple will blame Google, and Google will blame Apple....
Just disable your internet before you add a new contact... should work
Not to be sarcastic, because yours is a helpful answer, but really...Might as well just use a FIlofax.
Same problem - a real pain in the neck. Having to insert all the info into iphone - High Sierre needs to be fixed for Contacts!!!!!!
I was doing the same thing, adding them when I was on the subway to pass time.
All is well now that I switched the Default Account.
I have the same problem not with Google but with Office 365. Fortunately, I do not use the contacts with Office 365. Since I disabled syncing contacts with Offcie 365 it seems to work now.
Did not work for me. An empty contact showed up after around 60 sec
Do you have another file in the same folder, named something like «AddressBook-v22»?
If so, you can delete it.
Worked for me.
Deleted the whole Application support Address Book folder. It worked for a while then the problem came back.
The new card I was filling up appears back empty with "No Name" as name
I have no google linked, so it is a sierra problem. I gave up and just enter new contacts on my iphone - at least just their name. Then I can enter anything else on my macbook.
Deleting those files did nothing for me, either. I spent $20 ⚠ on something called CardHop, which seems to work OK. At least I can add a new contact without having to go to another machine...
No matter what Fetch time is setup, it turns back to "auto" whenever I restart the App.
Workaround:
Turn off Wi-Fi while adding new contacts.
Problems adding a new contact since upgrading to high Sierra?
