1. I haven't been able to contact you until now.
Does it mean "In the past I could not contact you, but now I can contact you" or "In the past I could contact you, but now I cannot contact you"?
2. Until now I haven't been able to contact you.
Is the meaning still the same if 'Until now' is the beginning part?
Many thanks.

Yes, the meaning is still the same.
