        class ContactsController extends AppController {
            var $name = "Contacts";

            public function index() {       
                $this->set('contacts', $this->Contacts->find('all'));
            }
        }

In your controller.

<?php  
    class ContactsController extends AppController {
        public function index() {
            $this->set('contacts', $this->Contact->find('all'));  // here the change Contacts to Contact.
        }
    }
?>

Your Model.

<?php  
    class Contact extends AppModel {
        var $name = "Contact";
    }
?>
