I synced with iMac itunes and got many more contacts than I want on the iPhone. How can I delete multiple contacts rather than having to do so one at a time?

I synced my iPhone with itunes and iMac and got many more contacts than I wanted on my iPhone. How can I delete quite a few of them at one time as opposed to deleting one at a time?

iTunes does not handle the import of photos/videos from the iPhone's Camera Roll.
If this is not the computer you sync your iPhone with, you should have been provided a warning message that your iPhone is associated with an iTunes library on another computer and when trying to transfer any iTunes content from a different computer, a warning message is provided indicating that all iTunes content on the iPhone will be erased first.
When connecting an iPhone to iTunes on another computer, none of the options under the various tabs for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes are selected automatically. This means you had to select Sync Contacts under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes on your wife's computer.
Assuming you are syncing contacts with a supported address book app on your computer, connect your iPhone to Tunes on your computer and without syncing, under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences below the Advanced section, select Contacts for replace info on this iPhone followed by a sync.
For importing photos/videos from the Camera Roll which can be done with a computer that is not used for syncing the iPhone since syncing with iTunes is not involved.

Recently I upgraded my I Phone to 5.0.1 and when I tried to play my music all the songs were greyed out and not active. I tried to sync with my Itunes and it was not successfull. I went to the genius bar and all the geniuses could do was blame my PC.

Why are all my songs greyed out on my I Phone after I recently ugraded to 5.0.1?
Tried to sync and still no luck. The genuises at the genius bar blamed my PC and had no answers.
Can anyone help, Pleeeeeseee?

You have two choices, however, choice one will only work for your 3GS: Download & Install this:

How can I delete multiple contacts quickly? I want to clean up my contacts and not take forever to do it.

I would like to clean up my contacts - probably remove 10 - 20% of them. Is there an easy way to do this? Or do I need to go into every one and hit delete contact?

I've split up my iPhoto library and now I want to clean up (as iPhot crashes around every 5 minutes and I suspect that's due to too many photos in the library).
Julia,
crashes are rarely caused by too many photos - I have never seen that happen, unless your hard drive has not enough space left for the operating system to work.
The usual causes for crashes are rather inconsistencies in your iPhoto library, importing unreadable or incompatible media (videos, photos), installing incompatible software.
So you'd better find out, what is causing the crashes in this case. Did you install new software, before the trouble started? Or import new photos or videos? Move your iPhoto library to a different location? Run "CleanMyMac" or something similar?
But to answer your question:
Therefore, I want to delete photos from the default library. Of course, I do get a security pop up that reminds me some of my photos have been uploaded to flickr and that these will be deleted as well when I delete the photo from my library.
Is there any way to avoid this?
Sign out of your Flickr account in iPhoto's preferences, before you delete the photos from your main library. Then the uploaded Flickr albums should be safe.
Regards
Léonie
Select your Flickr account and press the minus sign to disable it.

I recently got a new laptop, it has no music on it and I have been plugging my iPod in and listening to music that way. Tonight it decided to sync with my iTunes and deleted all of my music. Is there any way I can get my music back?

Check the songs are really not in the Music section of the library by clicking the magnifying glass in the search box and unticking Search Entire Library if it is ticked, then typing in the name of the album. If the tracks still don't show try closing iTunes and deleting a hidden file called sentinel from inside your iTunes folder. This should make iTunes run an integrity check on the database when you start it again. Make sure the tracks are checked before you try syncing again.

My phone was stolen. I first backe up from the icloud but then synced with my computer and lost some pictures that are backed up on the cloud. How do I get pics from my old phone which are backed up on the cloud but are not in my photostream?

If you have an iCloud backup, restore it to your phone as explained here: https://support.apple.com/kb/ph12521. If you have a backup on your computer instead, restore it to your phone by connecting your phone to your computer, opening iTunes and going to File>Devices>Restore from Backup.

Want to be able to open tabs in multiple rows, rather than in a single row. I used tab mix plus before, but it says it is not compatible with New tab Homepage. The older version of Firefox allowed this very easily.

Click here and try resetting that account’s password.
That Apple ID is stored inside each of those applications. If you can’t get back into it, you’ll need to delete and redownload all of them, which may require repurchasing paid ones.

Will iPad mini sync with any iTunes and MacOS?

Will the latest iPad mini (with OS7) sync with any iTunes version and any MacOS? My old iPod syncs with iTunes 10 (10.6.3) on a MacG5 with 10.5.8 operating system. I'd like to sync the iPad Mini with this Mac, but I have my doubts since the computer is so old.

iOS 7 requires iTunes Version 11
OS X 10.6.8 = Snow Leopard... is the minimum OS X for iTunes 11

HT4623 With the new software update on the iphone, how do I delete a photo and also how do I close open apps so I dont wear battery down

With the new update for iphone, how do I delete a photo and how do I close open apps. There used to be a delete button to delete a photo and I used to double click on the main phone button and then click on the x to close an app.

Wipe the drive using DiskUtility and download and reinstall Yosemite and set it up as a new Mac. Then purchase the Apps you require with your own Apple ID which you will enter when setting up the new Mac.
