    iTunes running, your phone connected, on the Info Pane, scroll down to "Advanced". Put a check in the box labeled "Replace Info on this Phone for Contacts" on next sync. Hit the apply/sync button.

    How to I delete all contact on my iPhone at once? These are contacts ABOVE the contact folder that says, "From My Mac."
    Someone said create a new empty folder on the computer and sync to that -- didn't work .
    Another person said, "Reset information in settings to restore to the default." That would erase ALL of the conetent I have on the phone and I do not want to erase all of the other settings and content from my iPhone -- just the contacts.
    There has to be a better way than gong through and deleting one-by-one.

    Go into Settings...Mail, Calendar and Contacts and siwtch off the Contacts section from the account in question.
    The phone should ask you if you want to keep or erase the contacts stored on you phone.
    However, if they aren't synched to anything and only exist on your iPhone, you'll have to delete them all one by one

    It's a good idea to backup your Mac Address Book application and iCal Calendars application from each application. This way you can go back and pull out items if you lose something. I do this everyday.

  • How do I delete all contacts in my iphone?

    After trying to sync my secondary iphone with icloud I find that I have an enormorse amount of duplications.  I would like to delete all contacts from the iphone and sync with what I have on my mac.  I would prefer not to do a complete reset on the iphone for this will also create a lot of work.  Does anyone have any thought as to how I might accopmlish this?

    I believe scottishroyalty is mistaken.  As far as I know there are no contacts stored within iTunes.  He must mean that he deleted duplicate contacts within the Contacts app on his computer.
    The issue I have with sberman's solution is that after using that method to delete all contacts on your iPhone, when you turn the Contacts switch back to "ON" in your phone's iCloud settings all the old contacts are put back on your phone and you're right back where you started.
    I posted a very detailed account of my issue here:

    If anyone knows how to delete old/unwated contacts from your iPhone and from iCloud and have them remain deleted, yet continue to have iCloud sync with the iPhone, please follow the above link and let me know.

  • How can I replace ALL Contacts on the iPhone with my MobileMe Contacts?

    I have removed all duplicates in AddressBook on my various Macs and have uploaded the master copy to MobileMe. I would now like to replace all Contacts on my iPhone with that MobileMe master.
    I have followed the steps in the KB article for syncing the iPhone but when I get to the step of turning on the iPhone Settings for the Contacts it looks like the sync wants to merge the contacts. Of course, I do not want to "merge" since that will reintroduce all those duplicates.
    I suppose I could manually delete each of the the hundreds of contacts that are on my phone until it is empty ... and then turn on the iPhone setting for Contacts. That way it will have no option other than "add." But surely there is a more efficient way.
    (FWIW, when I turned OFF the setting for the Calendar it did empty the iPhone's calendar, which is what I wanted. But it didn't do that for the Contacts -- I turned that setting off but I was not asked if I wanted to keep or toss the Contacts. They are all still on the phone.)
    This is an OG iPhone, if that matters.

    Brilliant! That worked like a charm.
    I created a new User Account on one of my Macs and logged into it. I connected my iPhone to its iTunes and checked my iPhone's Sync Contacts option in iTunes. Since that account's address book was basically empty (two dummy contacts, one for Apple and one for this new user), I ended up with only those two Contacts on the phone. Then, going back to my real User account (which does not have syncing turned on in iTunes) the phone synced nicely with the MobileMe account and populated the phone with all the MobileMe contacts and groups.

  • How can I delete all the data in Mac pro and install the latest version of OSX Mavericks?

    Hi,
    I want to know why my mac become slow and so, I want to data and system and I want to install the latest version OS X Mcvericks. How can I do?
    Thanks

    Open the App Store app:
    And, choose Mavericks:
    Then download and run the installer. Tip: It would be a good idea to quit the installer before proceding with the install, so that you can copy it or move it to location outside of your Applications folder. That way the installer won't be deleted after you run it.
    If you don't have a backup of your current Lion partition, the only way that you can do a clean install is to erase that partition, thus losing all of your data.

  • How do i delete all contacts from my iPhone 4

    How do i delete all the contacts in my iphone 4?

    Okay so I've been playing around with it. There are way too many places to turn on and turn off contact syncing!  It's really absurd.  Not only do you have to enable it through system preferences on the iPhone and on the Mac and other devices, but you also have to make sure "Default account" in system prefs is set to "iCloud' and not exchange, and you have to make sure to go to Address Book preferences on the Mac and check "Enable" under "iCloud" and then manually move your contacts to the "iCloud" slot (in address book) from the "On My Mac" slot.  And that's just what I found before I finally got it to work.
    ***?  Anyway, it's working now for me.

  • HT204085 How can we delete all the data from iphone keychain of all the apps?

    Is it possible to delete all the data from keychain? Cleaning keychain, which delete all the item stored in keychain of all the applications on iDevices. Programatically can we do it?

    Depends whether you have selected Lock when Full or Wrap when Full for the Buffer Mode. If you have selected Lock When Full, the capture will stop when the the buffer is full. You can then Save the Buffer and download it in the form of sniffer file and start you capture again. This will over write the old data. If you have selected Wrap when Full, then it will continue the capture when the buffer is full. The oldest packets are discarded as new packets arrive.

  • How can I delete ALL of my Address Book entries and start fresh?

    Yes. I know that sounds extreme, but……
    I use Outlook on a PC at my office, and I have an sbcglobal/Yahoo mail account. I look upon my office Outlook as my ultimate contacts list (over 1,100 entries) and my calendar.
    I use the sbc supplied free Intellisync software to sync all of my calendar and contacts from my office PC into sbc/Yahoo. That way I actually get e-mail reminders of appointments, etc. in addition to my Outlook notifications. It is actually pretty nifty.
    I have also successfully signed-on to my Yahoo account at home on my MAC and exported all of my contacts from Yahoo (which had been populated by the PC Outlook listings via Intellisync) onto my desktop and then imported them into Address Book. But I did that some time ago and now my Outlook listings have been updated rather substantially. I would like to able to do a complete re-install of the new and improved contacts from the Yahoo repository.
    Again - I certainly do not want to delete the Address Book app itself – I just want to start with a clean slate so there are no conflicts or duplicate entries (which in fact is seemingly a bug in the Yahoo/Intellisync. Is there a way to completely wipe clean all of my Address Book entries?
    Thanks

    Hello Allan -
    Your help on a previous post was great re: my wanting to know how to delete the Address Book contents so I can re-import an updated list form my office Outlook, via my yahho/sbcglobal import.
    Well - here is an interesting quandary:
    I have successfully exported my yahoo address book/contacts as a .vcf file Yet - once I have expunged the prior Address Book data and want to now import the NEW Yahoo data to rebuild the database it only takes (enters) the phone numbers and does NOT import ANY of the address information. I am positive I did this once since our original exchange and everything transferred just fine, but now….?!
    What I cannot determine is where the fault may be: does the export NOT include the addresses (in which case I am doing something fundamentally stupid wit the export) or the vcf cards are complete, but Address Book is not “seeing” anything other than the phone #s and e-mail addresses.
    Any thoughts?
    Dazed and confused
