Ovi Suite 3.1.0.81 deletes 160 contacts from my Ou...

Hi there
The OVI suite needs to be improved in one area and that is to inform us users where it's deleting contacts.
I had to reset my N8 because it wouldn't pair with any bluetooh devices including a brand new nokia BH 609. Then I restore the phone and sync it without a problem, I make the mistake of choosing to "save contacts on the phone" when syncing for the first time.
Now I have duplicates of everything in Outlook which I spend 1 hour deleting.
Syncing seems to have restored to normal.
5 days later I'm syncing and it deletes 160 contacts from outlook!!
Why can we not set it so that Ovi suite lets you know where it's deleting from.
This is business critical and phones and suites are supposed to help us do our jobs and make us more effecient. My problems with my N8 are really taking a drain on my time and busi schedule to the point where I'll probably not buy a smart phone again for a while I'm so fed up.
Please consider this idea of letting the user know where contacts are being deleted so perhaps we may prevent a situation like this.
There's also another sync issue with Calendar, if I delete something in outlook the phone doesn't delete it yadda yadda. Not as importat of course.
Thanks
N8 User.

Could you please update your Nokia Ovisuite and try?
3.1.0.84 is available here : http://www.nokia.com/ovisuite

How to delete all contacts from my online ovi acco...

Hi,
I have uploaded my mobile contacts to ovi.com , now I want to delete them all but the only option I have is to delete them one by one which is a real pain!
Any idea please?
Regards

I have not had to deal with this problem for a while but according to my last post you simply go to address book in contacts and then do multiple selections and just hit delete but be warned I think once you do that if you sync your phone with OVI suite the phone have all of its contacts deleted.
There is a way to specify in OVI suite which copy gets preference meaning whether what is on the phone is reflected on OVI suite vice versa. If you use the first option if the phone has 5 contacts and OVI 200 once you finish the SYNC OVI will have only 5. It works in the same way in reverse if you do it the other way. But I am not sure whether the setting is to be set in the sync settings on the phone or on OVI suite I never had much success with this setting I always ended up duplicating or deleting contacts as I never really bothered to really figure out how it works.
Hope this helps

I deleted a contact, but they still show up in my text options to send. I would like to delete the contact from my texts too.

No don't restore your iphone. I've done that several times & it has never worked. -I still have deleted contacts in my iphone texts. *However if you do restore it you will not lose all your data, pics, text messages etc if you backup in iCloud. It restores back to original phone. Very nice :). Anyhowwww....
I JUST figured it out!! :))). Remove the contact from recents.
Start a text. You should see the deleted contact. All the way to the right of the name is a symbol. The symbol is a circle with "i" in the middle. Click that symbol then in red lettering click "remove from recents".

I deleted a contact from my phone and it synced with all my other devices including my Mac. However, I have setup time machine and have many previous backups. Can I open or use a file in back ups to get my contact back? Where and which one? Thanks!

Its all in the question.
I have backups from months ago.
And ICLOUD deleted my contact from others devices.

Bring the Contacts window forward, then enter Time Machine and scroll back to a snapshot that includes the contacts you want to restore. Select the contacts and click the Restore button in the lower right corner of the screen.
If you don't have a Time Machine backup, but your contacts are all on iCloud and haven't been overwritten, then you can recover them by following the instructions on this page. Double-click the downloaded file to import it into Contacts. This procedure will not work if you've synced an empty Contacts database to iCloud.

TS4036 I purchased an iphone for my daughter and we are using the same account and she deleted some contacts from her phone and they were deleted off of my contacts as well. Is there a way to use icloud backup to reinstall the contacts to my phone?

Welcome to the Apple community.
You can only restore them from a Computer backup. This has occurred because you are sharing an iCloud account. ideally you should each have your own iCloud account, that way you can each manage your own mail, contacts, calendars, documents etc and avoid unintentional deletions and unwanted editing. If there is information you wish to share between you, this can be done with a secondary account.
Having separate iCloud accounts, doesn't mean you have to have separate iTunes accounts, so whilst you keep your personal data separate, you can continue to share music, apps, books, TV shows, movies etc.

Deleted duplicate contacts from icloud and want to sync updated contacts to iphone and ipad?

Can anyone help with this?
Deleted duplicate contacts from icloud and want to sync updated contacts to iphone and ipad? Did it on icloud cause have duplicates on ipad and iphone also

Check icloud.com to be sure you contact list is correct there. If it is, just go to Settings>iCloud on your device and turn Contacts to On to sync the contacts to your device. If contacts are already set to On and you still see duplicates, you may be viewing a duplicate contact group in addition to the iCloud contacts. Open Contacts, tap Groups, then tap any groups other than iCloud to uncheck them, then tap Done. See if the duplicates are still there.

Bad mistake. You shouldn't have used your Apple ID on his phone. And you made it worse because now the contacts are gone, as you deleted them from your phone, they got deleted on iCloud. Your husband should have his Apple ID.
There is really no way of recovering the deleted contacts unless you backed up using iTunes and even then you will only be able to recover those contacts that were on a call list. Read here:

HT1692 When I delete a contact from my address book, why does their name appear when I'm scrolling through names to text?

I have deleted several contacts from my address book. However, when I type "d" for example to select a contact for text messaging, the deleted contacts still appear in the list! How can I solve this?

This has to do with this information being held in a separate cache in the phone. There are two choices here. You can restore the phone as a new device, which is the only true way to remove this cache; or you can wait until the information is overwritten in the cache, and no one has been able to describe how long that takes, so I would say the only way to really do it is the restore as new, and not from a backup. This will delete all of your data and you will need to sync data back individually.

With my iPhone 5, when I delete a contact from my phone book, why can I still see it when I type in a name to select to text message?

If I delete a contact from my phone book, the number is still there when I go to type in a name to send a text message to, and is listed as 'other number'.
Can anyone please tell my why this is and how I can delete a number completely?
Thanks.

Th einformation is stored in cache memory on the phone. The only way to get rid of it is to restore the phone as new and you will lose data and settings. Eventually the cache will be overwritten so just ignore it

In the present iOS, it's all or nothing. You can suggest Apple add the ability to edit the call history log here:

HT5654 how to permanently delete a contact from hard drive of my i phone 3

I can delete a contact from the contact list in my iPhone 3 however the contact still appears on the hard drive of my phone. How do I permanently delete a contact?

What makes you say it's still on the phone's flash drive?

I deleted a contact from my address book but when I go into text message it is still there. How do I fully delete this contact? It is only in my text messages not in my address book.

I don't believe there's much you can do about it...have a look at the "More Like This" pane on the right side of this page.
One way though to eliminate the issue (although not a very good way) is to restore the phone as new.

Deleting non contacts from mail

Was hoping to get some help.
I am trying to delete non contacts from the memory in my iPad. What is happening is when I begin to type an email, the address of all previous sent emails come up in memory. I only want to save my contacts.
Any advice on how to delete non contacts ?
Thanks

Hopefully you have a Mac:
Remove them from your computer Mail via Menubar > Window > Previous Recipients then re sync mail.

Yes, you stop using the same Apple ID under Settings > iCloud.
