Old contacts remain after account deletion!?

I gave my iphone to my fiance. I`ve deleted my e-mails accounts and I added hers.
Well, when she is adding a sender in the e-mail my contacts appears! What to do?
I`ve imported her SIM`s contacts to iphone and my contats aren`t in her "contacts" book, so how are my e-mail contacts appearing in her iphone?

I have the same problem!
Surely there MUST be a solution
HELP anyone?
I tried Resetting the Keyboard directory, but it didn't work
cheers

I lost all my contact list after i deleted the me accout from my mail list.How can i recover the contact list ?

Hi, kindly let me know if i can recovered my contact list after i deleted "mobile Me (which has been expired) account form my I-phone list

The contacts should be available in a supported address book app for syncing contacts with a former MobileMe and now with an iCloud account. This has been in the works for a year and you should have received an email - several emails about MobileMe going away and how to make the switch to a freeiCloud account.

Primary Contact check after account creation

Hi,
I want to check that the primary contact exists after account creation. I have created a workflow that check if the primary contact is null
IfNull([<PrimaryContactFullName>],True)
and wait 2 minutes before sending an email. The problem is that the email is always sended, without caring if the previous condition is true or false, even if I have used the re-evaluation flag.
Does anybody the reason of this behaviour?
Thanks in advance

Problem solved.
The condition was wrong and anyway it seems that Primary Contact is never NULL.

I have a lot of old contacts I want to delete that are on all my devices. If I delete them on my iPad and then sync with my mac, will this delete the contacts on my mac too?

Yes.
If you don't want that to happen, then don't select the "Sync Contacts" option on your next sync.

Mail connections after account deletion

Hi all
I'm observing a 'strange' behaviour in my mail application.
Several times ago I had an email account; later on, no more useful, I canceled it from the mail account list.
This happened more or less 2 months ago.
Today, due to the fact mail got some connection problems during new mail check process, I tried to deepen where these problems occured, and I discovered it was due to this old (and canceled) email account.
Can anybody tell me why this happens and how I can definitely cancel this email address from the account list to be checked up by mail ?
Thanks in advance
Luca

Deleting a mail account causes all your mail stored in that account’s mailboxes to be removed from the computer as well, and you were warned that this would happen by the following alert:
Remove Account
Are you sure you want to remove the <AccountType> account "<AccountName>"?
This will permanently delete the account setup information, mailboxes, and messages from your computer. Messages stored on the mail server will not be affected.For IMAP-type accounts, this is not a problem because mail is stored on the server. If you deleted a POP account, however, your mail has certainly been wiped out from the computer, not just moved somewhere.
To prevent that from happening, you should have moved your mail to custom “On My Mac” mailboxes instead of leaving it in the account’s mailboxes. Actually, using the account’s Inbox and Sent mailboxes for archiving purposes is a bad idea regardless.
If you don’t have a backup (which you should have made before doing something like that), you may try to salvage as many deleted .emlx files as possible with a data recovery tool such as Data Rescue II or FileSalvage. Of these, the only one I know for sure that can currently recover deleted .emlx files is FileSalvage. Stop using your computer right now if you want to try that, as anything you do with the computer may cause the deleted files to be overwritten.

Email still Forwarding after Account deletion

We let go of an employee over a year ago, at which time I set up a email forwarder in Workgroup Manager. We now have deleted this user account, but email is still being forwarded when email is sent to this user.
Anyone have any idea how I might fix this? Or anyone having the same problem. Thanks in advance.

Hi Paul
I used the following instructions under OS X 10.4 and it work a treat...
Deleting OS X 10.4.x Server mail users
This documentation is based on a Mac OS X 10.4.x Server install
Before the proper steps can be taken to delete a mail user a onetime change must be made to the imapd.conf file.
Open /etc/imapd.conf via your favorite text editor. (I like using BBedit over SFTP connection).
The first line of the file should contain a list of admins, and you should see cyrusimap in there already. You need to add the shortname of an administrative user on your
server to the end of that list. IMPORTANT: You must also enable mail for this administrative user. I added the admin user that I create whenever I setup an OS X server.
It should look like this:
admins: cyrusimap, admin (be sure to separate user short names with a comma) **save the changes, and they will take effect immediately
The next set of steps will be used for the actual deletion of the mail user and its mail data, and is dependent upon having direct access to the terminal on the server itself or ssh access from a remote machine. You will use the shortname of the administrative user entered into the imapd.conf wherever you see admin.
1. In the terminal type:
cd /usr/bin/cyrus/admin/ (do not replace this instance of admin with your administrator short name)
su admin ./cyradm (this may prompt you to enter your password for the admin user)
2. Now you're in the Cyrus Admin terminal and your prompt should be: cyradm>. Now we need to tell the Cyrus Admin tool which server to administer, so type:
connect localhost (this will definitely ask you for your admin password, it may also ask for an IMAP password, which is the same)
3. Now your prompt should be: localhost>.
Use the lm command at the prompt to show you the list of user mail folders.
Before you can delete a user's mail folder(s) you must give your admin user permission to access and delete the user's mail. Let's say the user I want to remove has a shortname of testuser, you would type:
sam "Other Users/testuser" admin all (this will give admin permission to testuser's mail folders and sub mail folders)
dm "Other Users/testuser" (this will delete testuser's actual mail folders and sub folders from the filesystem)
exit (this will leave the Cyrus Admin terminal and your normal command prompt will return)
4. In the Server Admin tool goto Mail -> Maintenance -> Accounts and verify that the deleted user no longer exist in the Accounts list. You may need to press the Refresh button before the account deletion is viewable.
5. Now you may delete the user from the Workgroup Manager.

Bizzare behavior-Settings remain after app deletions

My problem seemed to begin a few weeks ago when the SuperDuper script wouldn’t run overnight. After contacting them, I ran Cocktail, deleting logs, caches, repairing permissions, and rebuilding the launch services database. Then I uninstalled recent apps: HyperDock, TotalFinder, and a haxie, WindowShade X.
More or less took care of that problem, but now a new and bizarre problem has sprung up. Despite deleting WindowShade (and the others using CleanApp), its behaviors remained. For example double-clicking a title bar rolls it up, which only WS can do. I tried setting my Logitech Control Center(yes, I know-it s#*ks) settings for the diNovo Mac Edition keyboard to use standard function keys, but pressing a function key opens the app I assigned in LCC prior to that.
I have a feeling that the problem has something to do with LCC, as recently the Logitech Revolution MX wireless mouse only works when the receiver dongle is plugged into ONE USB port only-top port on the front of my Mac Pro. Tried it with a spare mouse and receiver, and get the same behavior.
Is there anything short of a complete erase/reinstall of 10.6/update that I have overlooked? If I have to go that route is there anything I can migrate over that is safe other than network settings and applications. I’m afraid the problem is in my User folder and am leery of that. Thanks for any advice.
By the way, I do have a Time Machine disk, but have had poor luck when trying to roll back something in /Users/Library in the past.

After posting I did exactly that. Downloaded the installer for both (I had uninstalled APE earlier) then ran uninstall even though both were gone from SysPrefs. Solved both the WS and LCC problems. I'll certainly miss it. Thanks for the suggestion in case I hadn't come across it.

Recover SENT mail after account deletion?

We changed ISP, created new accounts (successful), then deleted accounts from the old ISP. The "sent" mail disappeared. Is it possible to recover it?

Deleting a mail account causes all your mail stored in that account’s mailboxes to be removed from the computer as well, and you were warned that this would happen by the following alert:
Remove Account
Are you sure you want to remove the <AccountType> account "<AccountName>"?
This will permanently delete the account setup information, mailboxes, and messages from your computer.

Exchange Passcode requirement won't go away after account deleted

I have a personal iphone that i have my business exchange account. We implemented a new policy to have passcodes on phones. I deleted the account off my phone and the policy for passcode is still on the phone. How do I remove this policy? I do know the passcode.

You'll have to restore your phone as a "new" device in itunes and NOT from backup. Follow this by syncing your content back to your phone.

How do I get my old songs back after iTunes deleted them?

Old icons remain after changing file type association

I have several video file types in my Movies folder: MPG, MP4, AVI, and MKV. Many of the file types are automatically associated with Quicktime Player, (despite it being unable to process them, such as the AVIs). Being unable to play my MKVs at all, I downloaded VLC player to supplement. I have since grown to like the additional features of VLC, and would like to use it as my player of choice for all movie files.
Changing the file type associations was simple enough, (Get Info -> Open With, Set as default for each file type), however the pre-associated files still retain their original QT icon.
How do I go about batch changing the incorrect QT-associated finder icons for icons that correctly represent their new association with VLC?
Thanks for reading

I was having that same trouble, but with ".rar" archives (in my case - OS X Yosemite), I tried all ways to solve it, following all kind of tips, like: choosing a new program as default to open the file, app cleaners, terminal commands, disk utility, etc.. but nothing worked. When finally I got problem solved, how I did it: 1) Download the program: Cocktail (http://www.maintain.se/cocktail/), after downloading, I got the message to register it, I simply clicked on "Remind me later". 2) Now, after installing it, configure Cocktail with this short tutorial, exactly as described (http://www.everythingmacintosh.com/tech-notes/maintain-your-mac-with-mac-os-x-co cktail/). After following 2 steps, Cocktail will be configured and will run, in the end your Mac will restart, you can now check that all your archives will be with correct icon (preview/thumbnail). Hope it helps!

Why Are Surnames Continually Added Back to Contact Entries After I Delete the Surname?

I have quite a few contacts with just their first name.
The Contacts app on my MacBook Pro continually adds last names -- if I had it in there at one time and since removed it -- back to the contact. Then this syncs over to my iPhone and iPads.
Why does Contacts do this and how can I stop it permanently?

Hello HellBlazerRaiser,
If contacts are reverting back, the next place I would try to fix is at iCloud.com, from there you can edit from the source of the contacts. I have also provided and article that will assist with troubleshooting contacts across multiple devices.

How to avoid getting old contacts added when syncing to a phone?

I'm trying to sync my contacts between Address Book and my Sony Ericsson D750i (identical to the K750i). I have been able to sync contacts (from one group) once successful to the phone. Now when I do another sync after some changes on the Mac, iSync wants to add a large number of contacts to the Address Book. (I suspect that this is related to the message that iSync displays while syncing: "getting contacts from Backup conduit".) When I allow the changes I get a number of old contacts that I had delete a while ago. Some are even corrupted.
How can I avoid this? Is there some additional backup somewhere which I would have to delete?

I tried 4 times and I waited for 15 minutes everytime but no one comes online. Can anyone tell me the exact way to contact skype for account deletion?
