I bought an M4 Pro MBP yesterday. I added my Google account and then synced my contacts, as normal. When I try to select one of my contacts (me) for my own contact card, it doesn't work. I get a prompt asking me if I'm sure but the Contacts app doesn't do anything. When I go to Card >>> Go to my card, it's grayed out.

However, this is not the case on my old M1 Macbook Air. Everything is working as it should. My card is showing as it always has.

Anyone else having this issue on a newer machine? I'm assuming this is a bug.

I do not have this issue with my M2 Studio/Sequoia 15.3.1 🤷‍♂️

I'm having the same problem with Fastmail Contacts. I have rebooted and opened Contacts in safe mode ( holding shift). This is really weird. I'm on MacOS 15.4.1 , so latest and greatest version!

However, on my iPhone Contacts, it shows the correct contact card for me. So it seems to be a mac contacts specific issue.
 
I figured out what happened. If the default personal contact card (My Card) at the very top of the Contact app gets deleted, then you cannot simply recreate it by navigating to your own contact card and selecting "Make this my card", as was the case previously. This is obviously a bug. The only solution I could find was to factory reset my Mac.

I had the same issue, and was able to fix it by running some AppleScript

AppleScript:
tell application "Contacts"
    set my card to person "YOUR NAME HERE"
    save
end tell
