6.0.1 not deleting contact's numbers

Does anybody else try to add a number from an existing contact and then delete the first number that is not being used and after when you go to send a SMS or MMS or iMessage the contact's number that you deleted will still show up on the messages application.
Using iPhone 5 on 6.0.1

I am having the same problem. Plus the contacts app in iCloud will not load. Fix these issues Apple.

First make backup of the Contacts by going to the File menu, Export, Contacts Archive.
Then, delete this file:
~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/AddressBook-v22.abcddb
That is an index database that gets recreated automatically. It appears to be corrupt.
The ~ means your user home folder. You can get to the user Library by holding down the Option key and selecting Library from the Go menu in Finder.

IPad mini iMessage not showing contacts, just numbers

I Have recently got an iPad mini and restored from a phone back up and linked to iCloud.
I Can go into the contacts app and see all my contacts with names and numbers. So I send a message through iMessage to one of my contacts and in iMessage the list of people I have messaged only shows their numbers and not their names.
How do I get it to show names and not just numbers?

Try the following.
Turn off Messages, sign out of your Apple ID on the iPad, restart your iPad, go back to Messages, turn it back on and then sign in again in Messages and in the store settings.
Settings>Messages>Off. Settings>iTunes and App Stores>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart your iPad and then go back to Settings>iTunes and App Stores>Apple ID. Sign in. Then go to Settings>Messages>On. Then sign in and see if it will activate.
Here's what Apple suggests when running into problems:
Troubleshooting Apple ID activation
After each step, toggle iMessage and FaceTime off and then on again in Settings > Messages and Settings > FaceTime.
Update to the latest version of iOS.
Ensure that you have an active Internet connection. Check your Wi-Fi network using standard Wi-Fi network troubleshooting.
If you receive an error when signing in to your Apple ID, visit myinfo.apple.com, sign in to your account, and ensure that the primary email address has been verified.
Ensure that FaceTime has not been restricted: Settings > General > Restrictions > FaceTime.
In Settings > General > Date & Time, ensure that Set Automatically is on. If Set Automatically is on, but the incorrect time zone is displayed, turn Set Automatically off and then choose the correct time zone, date, and time. Then turn Set Automatically on again.
Enable iMessage and FaceTime while connected to another Wi-Fi network in a different location.
If "Waiting for Activation" is displayed, leave FaceTime and iMessage enabled for 24 hours. Toggling FaceTime or iMessage off and on will cause the registration process to start over.

Second day after updating to iOS 6 on my iPhone 4, my contacts have duplicated. Probably not all but many, and my contacts already numbered in the thousands. Please tell me there is an easy fix to this problem!! I already had to go through contact-by-co

Second day after updating to iOS 6 on my iPhone 4, my contacts have duplicated. Probably not all but many, and my contacts already numbered in the thousands.
Please tell me there is an easy fix to this problem!! I already had to go through contact-by-contact when I bought this phone and added contacts from my Blackberry and MS Outlook on the phone. Many duplicated at that time and Apple said the only fix was to go through each one and decide to keep or delete. I really don't want to do that again!

I had this problem while I had iOS 5.1.1 installed for many months. Fortunately I only have about 150 contacts and only about half of them duplicated. I found that my problem was the way thing were set up in Outlook. I removed all of the duplicates and corrected everything in Outlook contacts (ignoring the address book) and have not had the problem since, Hope this helps.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Unfortunately, not unless you have made a back up.

HT4623 My deleted contacts still show up when I want to send a text message. But when I go to my address book there not there only when I want to send a text MSG there name comes up and if I select them it only show there number not name in the message.

Try this...
have a text convo with the person you want to delete. Go to the top contact in the text convo, hit edit contact, and delete that contact.
That resolution came from another thread on this issue, and this did solve to poster's issue.

Contact disappeared from iPhone but not deleted from Address Book on sync

FYI, I have an iPhone 3G running iOS 4.2 (the latest), and I have never so much as thought about MobileMe.
Until two days ago, I have had no reason to doubt that my iPhone's Contact list is the same as my MacBook's Address Book list. I now have no confidence that the same info. exists in both: I know for sure that at least one contact long present in both has disappeared from the iPhone, yet syncing all contacts neither returns it to the iPhone nor deletes it from Address Book! I need help troubleshooting this contact as well as verifying that there aren't other similar anomalies corrupting my data, hopefully without manually comparing all 685 entries...
Two days ago, a certain number, let's call it (310) 555-5555, popped up in my recents list as a missed call and in my visual voicemail. When I listened to the voicemail, I discovered that (310) 555-5555 was Jane Smith. I remembered entering Jane Smith several months ago, so I thought hmmm, does she have a second number? I tried to add (310) 555-5555 to an existing entry, only to find my iPhone had no entry for Jane Smith anymore at all! I did not delete her myself, and I'm not aware of any 3rd-party app that ought to have affected the entry. I haven't called Jane Smith or (310) 555-5555 in quite some time, so I have no idea how long the entry may have been missing. I searched the whole phone (left of the first home screen)
At the next opportunity, I looked in Address Book on my laptop, and indeed found the expected entry for Jane Smith, (310) 555-5555. I have no idea how she disappeared from my iPhone -- did I or some third-party program delete her? Or did it happen through some sync issue? -- but I naturally worried that when I next synced, the deletion would sync, too, and I would lose the Address Book entry, leaving me without Jane Smith's number at all.
Such an event would defeat the entire purpose of backing up my phone contacts to my computer; I just moved to iPhone this spring after being a Palm user since 1997, and the idea that iPhone might not be reliably syncing my contacts is frankly terrifying. I checked and saw that my Address Book listed 685 contacts to iPhone Contacts's 684, so I decided to risk a sync in hopes that maybe I had caused a one-off deletion. I wrote down Jane Smith (310) 555-5555 just in case and hit sync.
The results of the sync and my subsequent troubleshooting have seriously undermined my confidence in the fidelity of the sync process. The first time, nothing changed--I still had 684 iPhone, no Jane Smith, and 685 Address Book, including Jane Smith.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Before conecting your phone, open iTunes on your computer and go to Preferences, on the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically". Now connect your phone and when it appears in iTunes on the left sidebar click on its name. Go to the Info tab and confirm than your have checked Sync Contacts with Address Book. Now further down on the Info tab under Advanced>Replace information on this iPhone check Contacts. Click Apply and sync your phone. This will replace the contacts on your phone with the contacts in Address Book. (When complete you can go back to iTunes preferences and uncheck "Prevent..." to re-establish automatic syncing if your prefer this.)

Help! how do I delete contacts that are not on my contact list? when I start a new message you can still get the number when you tap in the name?

how do I delete contacts? help! contacts are deleted off my
contacts. but when I go to messages and press in the name the contact
still appears under other..... can I delete these?

That is saved in cache memory on the phone and that memory is about 2MB in size and is eventually overwritten with use. The only sure way to get rid of it is to restore as new and not from a backup and you will lose data. I suggest you just ignore

Why have my notes and contacts been deleted and my applications won't launch

I tried using my iPad mini today but both my notes and contacts have been deleted and my applications either won't launch at all or launch for a few minutes and then shutdown. I also tried to download another app which said had been downloaded but I couldn't find it anywhere, the same thing happened with another app I downloaded. It was working fine yesterday and I haven't updated it or done anything out of the ordinary since then. What's wrong?

There are some simple troubleshooting steps you can take.
Be sure you drive is not overly full. Rule of thumb would be over 85%.
Create a new User go to System Preferences >> Accounts >> "+" (make it an admin acct) and test the apps in this new account, if they work the problem is isolated to your User and not systemwide.
If the issue is limited to your user account try starting up Safe Mode (It will take more time to startup in Safe Mode because it runs a directory check.)
If your apps functions correctly that way, go to System Preferences >> Accounts >> Login Items, and remove them. Boot normally and test. If not go to ~(yourHome)/Library/Contextual Menu Items and move whatever is there to the desktop. Then do the same with /Library/Contextual Menu Items. Lastly, try moving ~(yourHome)/Library/Fonts to your desktop and restarting.
Log out/in or restart, if that sorts it start putting items back one at a time until you find the culprit.
If the issue is systemwide then, you may be able to repair this with the The 10.6.2 Combo Update This is a fuller install, as opposed to an incremental "delta" update so it should overwrite any files that are damaged or missing. It does not matter if you have applied it before.
Remember to Verify Disk before update and repair permissions after update from /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.

Is deleting Contacts & Photos possible - but not using Restore?

Hi,
Many thanks in advance for your attention.
For someone using a Mac:
Is there a way of deleting one's Contacts and Photos (data files) without using the Restore Option (which deletes EVERYTHING)?
I click on the iPod icon on my desktop and see a folder for Contacts and a folder for Photos, but within them I can't tell which would be my file for my actual Contacts and which would be the file that runs the Contacts App.
For example, the Contacts folder has 3 files:
ipod created instructions.vcf
ipod created example.vcf
iSync.vcf
Deleting any of these seems like I would be deleting the iPod's OS part of Contacts, not my contacts info.
Photos folder has one file and one folder within:
photodatabase
Thumbs
In my own computer, I would know how to delete my contacts or Photos. You look for those files.
I do not want to delete these files on computer so syncing iPod to computer for that purpose would not work.
Thank you,
- Ross

Hi,
Thanks for response.
Maybe I am missing something, but if you just uncheck sync for Contacts, then your old contacts remain in one's iPod.
Unchecking sync under "Photos," a prompt comes up, asking if you want all your photos removed or not. You have a choice.
But I see no such prompt for Contacts.

Why is my iphone 4 deleting contacts automatically? They sometimes re-appear later but not always. My phone lost 1000 or so contacts today alone!

Robert, to clarify, I have the contacts section of icloud switched off. This was done some weeks ago in an attempt to stop this phenomenon. Didn't work. At one stage yesterday I had 1400 contacts but now it has swelled to 4500. Strange!

Contact can be edited but not deleted

Hi there,
New poster here and I wanted to share something peculiar about my new kin twom. I seem to have one contact that can be edited but not deleted. When I click the contact, all I get at the top are "favorite" and "edit" buttons. However, all my other contacts seem to have an "edit" button on top as well as a "more" button that, when clicked, gives you the option to "delete", "link", or make the contact a "favorite".
I can live with this non-deletable contact but I'm very curious as to how/why this happened. Anyone have any ideas?

It looks like this is your own contact card, and it may have been accidentally edited. By default, the phone creates a contact card for yourself, and it should have your own name and number in there. You can't delete your own contact
Not sure what the original contact was but I guess it's possible that it was my own contact card. I did not know that the phone creates one for you. What name does the phone assign to this contact?
