Mysterious contact in email compose but not in "all contacts"

I have an ipad2 3g and an iphone 4s.  Using my iphone I went to send a message to "mom".  This message was an email.  I typed "mom" into address and pressed enter.  It did not select my contact, just pressed enter too fast.
Now when I go to send an email to "mom" I have 2 "mom"s shown.  The first contact is in bold with the email address shown and the second one is not.  In fact this second "mom" is nowhere except on my iphone.  Not in gmail, not on the ipad, not in "all contacts" nor exchange nor icloud.  I don't know how to delete it.  That is what is driving me insane.
Ok, just for fun I compose another email with a random name "abc"  Now "abc" is this ghost contact that is nowhere to be found.
This might put some light on the matter for someone much smarter than I am.  I typed "abc" and wrote "test" in the subject then pressed send.  The device tells me I'm an idiot because "abc" is not a valid email address.  I tell it to send anyways.  Then I get an error.  Now "abc" is an option when I type "abc" to choose from, but of course it's nowhere, but only shows up when i compose an email and type "a"  I don't need to type anymore because it is the first one to be shown above "amanda".
I am seriously pulling my hair out.  I want these 2 contacts gone, but I don't know how.
Thanks for reading my post, I hope someone with the answer understands what I'm trying to describe.

Here's what I have tried after this email.  I turned off icloud and I turned off contacts on gmail exchange.  So I choose to compose an email, because I still have my gmail account set up on the devies, and I typed in "a"  and there is a list that comes up.  Everyone that has an "A" in their name is shown.  I recognize most of them from my address book on gmail but there are quite a few that are not in my address book.  Some that I have never emailed.
So now I'm hunting on google chrome gmail and I seached for some of the email address and some come up and some don't that were in a mass email list.  I've deleted those, but they are still on the ipad and iphone somehow.  I can't search for them in gmail because nothing comes up.
Is there any setting that has the auto complete on composing an email only show email addresses in my address book?

  • HT4872 My gmail contacts synced into FaceTime, but not in my contacts app.  how do I get them into the contact app on my ipa?

    My gmail contacts synced into the. FaceTime contacts, not my contact app on my new iPad.  I don't think that is wise since Siri or I may try to make a  phone contact may actually be a factime call, butI don't know how to get them into the app ( tried via the "add account in settings, and with a cheap Google synch app) . 

    They could be on another page on your iPhone, try doing a search for the apps.  If you still don't see them restart your iPhone by holding down the on/off and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo.  If you are still having problems try to reset your home screen. 

  • Z10 - new contacts saved on smartphone​, but not shown in contact list

    Hello everybody,
    I have a problem with my Z10. It does not show me any new contacts in the contact app on the phone. After entering a new contact through the app (from HUB and directly) it won't be shown in my contact list. Not even the phone no in the HUB has been replaced by the name. Sending a new contact from BB9810 by Bluetooth does not even get the contact into the new contact list (even though it's been saved).
    Anyway, the contacts have been saved somewhere in the phone, since I can sync them with the BB link on my laptop. Also entering a contact in my windows contacts and syncing the other way around (from laptop to BB) does not get me the contacts into my BB contact list.
    Has anybody experienced the same issue, or can advise me where to change settings or do something that may get everything back to normal?
    Thanks a lot in advance

    Do this for me.
    Do a simple reboot on the BlackBerry in this manner: Reboot: On the side edge volume keys, press and hold down both of the Up and Down volume keys for about 20 seconds, ignoring the initial screenshot message... the screen will go black and reboot.
    Now, after the reboot is complete, give it a couple minutes and check your Contacts app again for those missing contacts.

  • Email notification is not send to contact person in SRM 7.0

    Hi Friends,
            I am in SRM 7.0 and SP03. I am using program '/SAPSRM/OFFLINEAPPROVALSEND' to send notification to approver. 
                 Email notification is not sending to contact person in SRM 7.0 after all approvers approved the shopping cart. I even enabled checkbox 'Approval of application object' for Contact person (in most cases, the creator of the document) in the SPRO-SAP Supplier Relationship Management-SRM Server-Cross Application Basic Settings-Business workflow-Process-Controled Workflow-Business Process Configuration-Define Recipient of Notifications. Am i missing something or is it how SRM 7.0 Build. I knew that this functionality is there in SRM 5.0 by activate the security level in the user settings(SU01), I also know that this setting will not work if we use Process control workflow. Any input on this..
    John.

    Hi Masa,
       Thanks for your input. I maintained the below entries but still it is not working. creator is not still receiving approved Email once the shopping cart is fully approved.
    1 .SPRO-SAP Supplier Relationship Management-SRM Server-Cross Application Basic Settings-Define Transaction Types -
        BUS2121 - SHC - Event Schema as SC.
    2. I enabled all four check boxes in this path Define Recipient of Notifications - approve shopping cart - contact person ( in most
        cases, the creator of the document ) .
    But I don't know how to maintain or what to maintain for Define Event Schema. This will be highly appreciate if you share your great experience on this..

  • How can I use 2 iPhone 4's on same iTunes account, but NOT sync same contacts?

    How can I use 2 iPhone 4's on same iTunes account, but NOT sync same contacts?

    They need to be registered under different Apple ID's.  The initial Apple ID is set when you first start the phone up.  If you've already registered the phone to the iTunes account, back it up to your computer, and then have iTunes do a factory reset.  Go to www.icloud.com, log in with your current Apple ID, select "Find My iPhone," choose the iPhone you want to dissociate from your primary Apple ID from the upper left, and then click the little circled X ("remove").
    When you start the phone, it will have you go through the setup process again, at which time you need to create a unique Apple ID for the device.  You can then restore it from your iTunes backup to get back your apps and other settings.
    Whenever you use the iTunes store, use the login information (Apple ID and password) that you were using before.  Basically, the second Apple ID that you created is purely used for accessing iCloud services, which includes synchronization of contacts, iCal events, and other such things.

  • I can send messages to one of my contacts on my iPhone but not on my iPad. Why?

    I can send messages to one of my contacts on my iPhone but not on my iPad. Why?

    Does the contact you are sending the message to use an iPhone?
    The iPhone will send and receive both iMessages and Text messages (SMS).
    The iPad will only send and receive iMessages.
    iPads cannot receive SMS text messages.

    ashish35,
    No one from Apple here - we're just users like you. All I can tell you is that electronic fail and with MacBook Pros (and most notebooks) the components are so integrated as to make a repair to the logic board practically impossible, hence the high prices charged for repairs.
    Only you can decide if you want to have your computer repaired or put the money towards the purchase of a new computer. If you do decide to purchase a new unit I would suggest that you also purchase the AppleCare Protection Plan which increases your warranty from one year to three years.
    Sorry and good luck,
    Clinton

    after update 7.1.0. my sound only works for phone calls,emails etc, but not for music or games

    Maybe I understood your problem. Get to Settings > Sounds > Ringers and Alerts >Turn Change With Buttons to Off. And if your Side Switch is assigned to 'Mute', turn it back on, else, use the control center to turn off mute.

  • HT1692 After synching, I updated to newer version of iTunes. I do not have contacts on my phone - but I have all the messages and photos there still. How do I find my missing contacts?

    After synching, I updated to newer version of iTunes. I do not have contacts on my phone - but I have all the messages and photos there still. How do I find my missing contacts?

    Still no success.
    My problem, in part, is that I have 2 iphones. I transferred one to another computer that now syncs with iCloud. The other phone I was updating today on my old computer. It was recognised by iTunes, and automatically synched. Then I updated it to a newer version of iTunes, and lost my contacts on that iPhone. I have trawled to Windows Contacts but to no avail.

    How did you delete the Note? If you did a "select all" and "cut", open the Note and shake your iPhone to undo the cut action.

  • Multiple email accounts but they are all sending from same account.

    Set up with multiple email accounts but they are all sending from same account. I have checked account preferences and under composing they are to come from account of selected mailbox but this is not happening! Suggestions?

    They are all in the same folder and it says all images are there, but it is only showing 1 card's images at a time. Does anyone know how to fix this?
    This is kind of confusing, on the one hand you say "it says all images are there" and then you directly contradict this by saying "it is only showing 1 card's images at a time".
    Could you explain in a lot more detail what you see (and don't say "it", say exactly what part of Lightroom or what part of your operating system you are looking at), or show us a screen capture?

    SOLVED plugin to charger solved it - so problem was with contacts -- no idea why - phone is new - no water - no havy dust - usual using  
    hope will never return. Thanks

    We checked it with an iPhone 5 in house multiple times and could not reproduce this Problem. Must be something specific to your device. Maybe your speakerphone volume is turned down completely?

  • How can I set up my contacts so that I do not see all of them on ipad from iCloud?

    How can I set up my contacts so that I do not see all of them on ipad from iCloud? I don't need/want to view contact info for casual contacts on the ipad. (I.e. contacts entered so that I can identify a caller for ID/screening purposes)
    Also would like to limit email contacts from yahoo- no need to view emails for every "safe list" address.
    Thanks!

  • Ipod nano does not synch all contacts

    ipod nano does not synch all contacts.  When it synchs, it only transfers 7 of 2000+ contacts

    My point in the original posting that this is a bug seems to have been answered affirmatively by the notations of the quirkiness of the action. The argument that it must not be a bug because it would have been solved by now is totally disingenuous. Apparently Apple programmers (or their management) are not any superior to Microsoft programmers in that they focus on adding new bells and whistles while allowing longstanding problems in the core code to continue to fester.
