HT4623 Contacts are hidden and won't delete.

I deleted all contacts from my phone and still can't fix this issue. I can still go to messages and type letters like I'm sending a text and names and numbers will show up. These are all listed as the "other" number and have the 1 in front of them.

I actually reset the phone and kept the contacts in icloud. When the phone came back up these numbers were still there. They're not saved in the format I save them (they have a 1 in front) It's like they're syncing from somewhere else. I also deleted facebook also to stop them from coming from there.

  • All my contacts are gone and won't sync up with cloud

    After I installed mountain lion on my Mac book pro . My contacts have disappeared and won't sync up from iCloud .
    They are on my other devices and on the c.loud

    I am having the exact same problem.  Not only will the contacts not sync, but when contacts is open, it slows down the ENTIRE computer.  I installed Mountain Lion last night and the contacts list is the only thing that I have spotted that is having a problem.  I even tried exporting the vCards from the iCloud website and contacts still won't accept it.  I hope they come out with something to fix this quick.

  • While synching iPhone, box popped up and said changes will be made to my contacts. If I didnt allow change, it wasnt going to continue to sync. Now half of my contacts are gone and I have all of my wifes contacts. Any way I can get mine back?

    While synching my iPhone, a box popped up and said that so many of my contacts are going to change.  That happened before and my contacts and my wifes contacts ended up in each others phones. So we just had to go through and delete the ones we didnt want.  When I did it this time, half of my contacts are gone and I have all of my wifes.  Any way I can get my contacts back?

    You should have been sycning them with your computer all along.  Sync them from your computer back to the iphone.

  • My ICloud Contacts are Outdated and bringing me problems ...

    Basically my ICloud Contacts are outdated and I´m losing lots of new contacts that I have on my Iphone 5. I´ve recovered my IP5 Contacts several times by means of intializing my phone but ICloud keeps on bringing me the Old Ones. Is there a way to make the IP5 Contacts the appropriate ones on Cloud.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Double entries are possibly a result of your contacts being listed once as on your mac and again as in iCloud.
    I'd start by making a back up of your contacts. If you have a simple duplication (as suggested above) you could select 'all iCloud' in users and groups, make sure nothing is typed in the search, select the first contact, shift select the last contact (to select all) and delete using the keyboard. If you have something more complicated than a simple duplication you may need to manually sort your contacts until you have a required list. Back up by dragging 'all contacts' from users and groups to your desktop.
    Now disable contact syncing in the iCloud system preference panel and do the same on any other computer or in settings on any other iOS device, delete all contacts from thes other computers or devices.
    Turn on contact syncing in the iCloud system preference panel and opt to merge data, you can now turn on contact syncing on other computers and devices.

    My audiobook I just bought won't play and won't delete. Any ideas? What does the read/white half moon mean?

    Try deleting the song and redownloading it if you are in a country (USA is one) that allows free redownloads by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • Hello can someone help me I have an iphone 4 and my daughter has an ipod touch we are on the same email address but somehow with in the last 25hrs all of my contacts are gone and only hers on on my phone is there a way for me to get all my contacts back?

    If you need assistance with finding any of your restores or attempting to restore from any that happened prior to his incident follow this article
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
    IF you do find a backup that has your contacts; I'd /highly/ recommand turning off your wifi network after the restore is finished because if the issue is with your iCloud your contacts may merge back with her's.
    With iCloud you DO NOT want to share the account; bad things happen Evil evil thigns...
    But in all seriousness; if two devices have the same iCloud; iCloud is told to merge and sync infomation between hte two and can't tell that it doesn't belong to the same person

    Those are outdated iPod software updaters which can be safely deleted.

  • HT1766 After during a backup on iTunes I noticed 3 of my contacts are gone and tried to restore from a old backup, worked once and now it won't again. Why iTunes restore work correctly?

    After I did a backup from iTunes I noticed 3 of my contacts were gone and then tried to restore from a old backup, worked once and now it won't again. Why is iTunes restore not working correctly?
    I thought all my contacts were saved in iTunes, never had this problem before. Besides manually restoring them myself, is there any other way to retrive them?

  • HT2500 I use Mail and Address book- since iCloud all my contacts are duplicated and my group distribution lists keep deleting addresses - help

    Since iCloud was installed all my addresses are duplitcated and when I use a group only say 4 out of 10 addresses appear in my emails when I send out to a group... any ideas please?

    I've now done Literally every possible thing listed in the help
    or that I was told to do in this thread, and nothing has worked.
    Not sure what you mean. Have you tried uninstalling all the plug-ins as well? In the Finder, go to each of the following folders (if they exist). What do you see there?
    /Library/InputManagers/
    /Library/Mail/Bundles/
    ~/Library/InputManagers/
    ~/Library/Mail/Bundles/
    To make accurately reporting this information easier, you may open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal, type the following command (you can just copy it here and paste it in Terminal), and press <Return>. You can then copy the output of that command from Terminal and paste it in your reply to this post:
    ls -1 /Library/InputManagers /Library/Mail/Bundles ~/Library/InputManagers ~/Library/Mail/Bundles
    Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. You can easily locate any of the folders referred to in this post by copying the folder path here, doing Go > Go to Folder in the Finder, and pasting the folder path there.

  • Please help. Half my contacts are missing and think I've tried everything!

    Hi there
    Sorry this is a long post but I'm a bit desperate and hope you can help:
    I dont have a PC or ipad or anything but do have an iphone 5 and over the weekend my emails (to my live.com account) weren't sending off my phone. 
    So I deleted the live/hotmail account and reinstalled the account.  I noticed that upon re-installation there was no option for 'contacts', just 'notes' and 'calendar' but I didnt pay it much attention as I have an exchange account listed on my phone which features contacts, email, notes, calendar etc etc.
    Yesterday out of the blue some of my contacts went missing (after sending a text to a person, a few hours later their name vanished). I deduced that all the contacts that had vanished were email addresses and newer numbers (over the past few years).
    I still had the 334 numbers I've accumulated over the past 10 years.
    So today - after looking at apple community help sites - I took the following steps:
    - Checked all contacts groups were ticked (they were)
    - Tried switching the contacts box on and off.
    - I deleted my newly installed Live Account as it seemed unnecessary as I could send/receive emails on my exchange account.
    - I then deleted my exchange account and re-installed it.
    - Hey presto, all the numbers and emails addresses which had vanished came back.
    - BUT DOOM... all my initial numbers have gone. This is really bad (relatives, work mates, boss etc etc all lost).
    - So then I tried to look at how to ask iCloud to sync contacts but couldn't really find an answer anywhere.
    - So I tried to log into my iCloud on a public computer to check what contacts I had and move them manually but after logging on (for first time ever) using my iCloud email address and also my live.com email address, no contacts we listed as being in the Cloud.
    - In terms of synching data all I could find was an instruction to turn the 'contacts' tab in icloud off (whilst keeping contacts on iphone) then switching it back on and asking it to merge.
    But this didnt achieve anything new.
    - So I repeated the step above and then as instructed on one post selected iCloud backup. This hasn't helped either and I'm worried that I have updated my icloud to only include my Exchange contacts and not my old numbers.
    So I'm panicking that i'll never get my important numbers back! Any advice?
    My only glimmer of hope is that when I changed from iphone 4 to iphone 5 earlier this year, all of my data was switched using the icloud function (but possibly my live/hotmail account too), which suggests to me that icloud does have all the numbers.
    I still have the iphone4 handset too - so could perhaps get the numbers off that? But I don't know how so any advice very welcome!!
    Please.

    I'm not sure if this will help you or not and you may have tried it already. But, I was having problems with my 20gb ipod (same one you have) and tried everything, including taking it to a local repair shop and even considered just chucking it. Then I read in one of these posts to simply reboot my computer. So I did and guess what, it worked. I felt like such an idiot but sometimes the simplest fixes are the ones you overlook. I don't know if itunes 7 needed a reboot or if there was a problem because other users (my wife) were logged into their user accounts also, but try doing that.
    I hope that does the trick for you. If not, sorry I couldn't have been any more help.

  • How can I delete the update installation files? Or which files are useless and safe to delete?

    ThinkVantage System Update application will find the appropriate updates, download them and install them. This is convenient. But when it finishes the updates, it will not clean the installation files it has downloaded, which I think are not useful any more since the update installation is completed, right?
    I think the update appliction stores the downloaded files in the folder: C:\Program Files\Lenovo\System Update\ ,   this folder of mine is over 1.32GB big now. But I just don't know which files and subfolders in it are safe to delete.
    Or rather, the preload system occupies a large space on the disk. Which files are no longer used and safe to delete?
    Would any experts help with this? Thank you very much!
    Norm

    I've been experimenting. Now I figure it out. Automatic System Update downloads and stores files in C:\Program Files\Lenovo\System Update\ Sessions\, and in Sessions' subfolders, all files are not used once update is completed except those ending with .xml. Thus those unnacessary files are safe to delete.
    This is what I find out so far.
    Continuing to experiment.
