How to delete all contacts in 'contact'

My contacts on 'mac air' comes from contacts of iPad2 thru sync of iCloud,
and contacts of 'Contact' on iPad2 come from the 'export by Worldcard HD on the same iPad2'.
Now Renewal of contacts by Worldcard HD needs to be exported to 'Contact' on iPad2 again.
To avoid repeated data storage, deleting the current data in 'Contact' becomes critical.
FYI, my 'Mac air' be installed with mountain lion OS.

Part of your post is confusing to me. If your intent is to delete all your contacts for the App called Contact;....
The data files are located in;
~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook
~ is your user directory. It can be accessed by holding down the option key whilst clicking on the "Go" menu within Finder.
The contacts themselves are stored in the .abcddb file, but the Images and Metadata files are also part of the data.
I should think that deleting the entire contents of the AddressBook directory should clear your contacts. Make a backup copy of that directory before performing any deletions.

    How can I delete all of my contacts from my iphone? I have updated my contact list in Outlook, and need to re-import that "clean" list.

    There is a checkbox on the 'info' tab in iTunes that will allow you to overwrite the address book on the phone with the one from the computer on the next sync.

  • How can delete all contacts

    pls help me to find how can delete all contacts ,,  because i forget my restriction password

        baprawski,
    Is there a particular reason why you want to delete the contacts all at once? The only way you can delete all the contacts all one time would be to wipe the device. This will complete erase all data on the phone including the contacts.
    You want to make sure you backup your device uisng the desktop manager. Once you perform the wipe you can then backup your contacts using the desktop manager and just make sure to uncheck the Contacts when backing up so they are not added back to your phone.

  • I want to delete all of my contacts/addresses in Mail

    How can I delete all of my mail addresses? I have thousands and many duplicates I want to start fresh.

    I would like to delete all of my contacts on my iMac desktop and bring in all of my contacts from my work PC which I now have on my iPhone.
    When I go to my addresses it will not allow me to delete any or all. Am I trying to do it from the wrong screen? I can't find "Look for Duplicates" and where is 'Card Menu'.
    Removing duplicates from my imac and icloud would be a distant second choice to removing them all and importing the ones on my iPhone.

  • How to download all data (music.contacts,apps) from iPhone to a new PC ?

    How to download all data (music.contacts,apps) from iPhone to a new PC ?
    I mean to say that I downloaded mp3 songs from websites (not from iTunes) which I synced in my iPhone 4 using ''Manaually Manage Music''.
    Now I am in my homecountry for vacations and don't have the laptop in which my iTune library is synced and I need to add more songs to my iPhone but when I put more songs to my iPhone it tells me that all current data from iPhone will be deleted.
    Please help!

    The iphone is not a backup device.  The music sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The only exception is itunes purchases.  Without syncing:  File>Transfer Purchases.
    " I need to add more songs to my iPhone but when I put more songs to my iPhone it tells me that all current data from iPhone will be deleted."
    That is correct.

  • I deleted an e-mail account from my I Phone.  Unfortunately it deleted all of the contacts from my phone. Is there a way to restore those contacts?

    I deleted an e-mail account from my I Phone.  Unfortunately it deleted all of the contacts from my phone. Is there a way to restore those contacts?

    Add the account back to your phone and enable contacts syncing with the account and the contacts will reappear on your phone.  If you want them in iCloud, you'll have to copy them to your iCloud account.  If you need assistance doing this, reply back and I'll help you.

  • Every time one of my email addresses doesn't work on my mail app, due to wrong password or whatever, it deletes all of the contacts form my phone.  What can I do to stop this from happening?

    Every time one of my email addresses doesn't work on my mail app, due to wrong password or whatever, it deletes all of the contacts form my phone.  What can I do to stop this from happening?
    I have tried deleting the account and it deletes all my contacts.  I have verizon and even using back up assistant, it says the contacts are there but they aren't.  The only way i can find a contact is if I start to type a name in and new text but once i sent the new text, the name disappears and it just shows the number.  Siri nor the address book don't recognize any contacts at all.

    I cant find any reciept in my email or in my husbands email.  I am going to attempt to call and speak to someone who can help me because this was not my fault except trying to be normal and update my phone!

  • I want to delete ALL of the Contacts, and start fresh.

    I want to delete ALL of the Contacts transfered from my iMac shortly after setting up my new iPad 4th Gen, so I can start a new Contact list that is better scaled down for my Face Time and eMail usage (without the other 900 business contacts). I cannot find a way to highlight the entire list and then do a single Delete. SInce I don't have Lion or higher on my iMac, I cannot do an iCloud sync to do the job. Any suggestions?

    Yes there is. Those songs are not actually on your iPad. They are in iCloud ready for download if you choose to do so. If you want to remove them go to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Show All>Music>Off. You can also do this in Settings>Music>Show All Music>Off.

  • I downloaded 6 software to my phone and is fine, when I did my wifes it deleted all of her contacts and she isnt backed up to outlook,  Please Help

    I downloaded 6 software to my phone and is fine, when I did my wifes it deleted all of her contacts and she isnt backed up to outlook,  Please Help.  I used the same account login/password for the icloud part....

    Why would you use the same iCloud login?  Do you and your wife share that account for syncing contacts?
    Was she actually syncing contacts to any supported app on the computer or a cloud service prior to the update as the iPhone is designed to be used?
    Did you not backup the iPhone prior to the update?  If this had been done, it should be a simple matter or restoring from that backup to put everything back.

  • How to delete (recent other) unlisted contacts on imessage on iphone 4s

    I texted message to someone and then i deleted the text message.
    When I composed another new Message said +61XXXXXXX
    the number that i contacted earlier appeared as recent other contacts ...
    Was wondering how to delete the recent other contacts?
    have just restored my phone and the number still appear. HELP ?

    As far as I know, imsg saves recent contacts in its application data. There is no way to wipe this by default unless i'm mistaken.
    Also, quick edit, is the conversation deleted out of imsg? Make sure you delete the entire conversation thread you had with the previous person. Check and see if that works.
    If that doesn't work, try adding the contact and than deleting.
