iMessage on my MacBook Pro won't sync with my contacts. The contacts app is up to date but iMessage and FaceTime list every number as unknown. I have tried turning iCloud syncing on and off and toggled with each of the apps but I can't get iMessage to sync with the contacts!
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.14

Fixing Numbers as "Unknown":
Boot in Safe Mode:
[Hold Down: shift key, upon boot], In Safe Mode, Login Items do not run at login, certain preferences are set aside, and damaged system files are then reset. So, once booted in to Safe Mode, wait 30 seconds, and then boot up normally, attempting another update install.
