All my contacts have the same birthday... how to remove them?

HI all,
I have had this issue for a few years... in fact, since the very DAY I switched from Windows to MAC! All my contacts have that date entered as their birthday as well as their aniversary. Sounds funny perhaps but.... is not, really.
How can I just deletes all birthdays and anniversaries in bulk or (even better) only do that for those ocntacts that have that specific date entered as thier birthday/anniversary (as I do have some contacts with correcth birthday which Iñd love to conserve). Thanks.

Thanks Bro. I have backup. and I did the same thing twice but only 26 contacts appear on the device. Now again yesterday after your suggestion again I restored the device but the result was same. Then I thought a new thing. I restored the device one more time but after restoring I didn't configure the icloud account. Surprisingly all my old contacts are there in the device but those 26 contacts are not there. Now I will tell you how this must have happened? I had 3gs earlier. that was stolen 3 months ago. I put the device in lost mode. I purchased new iphone4. I restored with itune. All my data came back. After that I saved these 26 new contacts to my device which also saved in icloud but when I tried to backup on my pc it was not happening. the messege coming device disconnected. 2 days back my stolen device came online. Lost mode was activated by icloud. But what I think in between that time the other fellow must have deleted the phone contacts. And as per icloud also deleted the same. Only the 26 contacts which I saved in these 3 months remained in icloud. Now bro can u help me out? What I should do? I have 26 contacts in icloud and < 500 in my device. I don't understand when all other Co's mobile you can import contacts from any backup file iphone can not. This is the DRAWBACK OF IPHONE.

  • All my contacts have been wiped even though i saved them to the cloud. how do i retrieve them!?

    All my contacts have been wiped even though i saved them to icloud. Seems I have deleted them from my Mac before selling, and it deleted from the cloud, and my IPhone and IPad now have followed suit and removed all the contacts there also... How do i retrieve them!? Or are they lost now...

    A friend of mine gave me some information on this when I told him what I was experiencing. If you save your details to the iCloud some time ago and the device you are using now is on a different iOS, then it will not retrieve the details properly.
    I updated my old iPhone4 to iOS6.01 or whatever the latest one is and backed up the info to the iCloud. Then updated my iPhone4S to the same iOS and RESET it, switched it on and went through the setup process again and it successfully pulled the information from the iCloud to my iPhone4S.

    Well, it appears that your backup is corrupt, thus causing your issue. So, you'll have to restore as a new device, & not from backup. Follow this by syncing your content back to your phone:

  • How do I resolve inconsistent color definition message even if all my files have the same definition

    All of the files in my book have the same exact color definiti
    ons: New Color1. Yet I keep getting the inconsistent color definition messag
    es every time I go to print or regenerate my toc. I still get results but It's annoying!

    Does EACH document have the SAME definition of NewColor1? Having the same name does not imply that they are the same definition.
    Try opening the first document in the book. Then select all the documents in the book file and import the color definitions from the opened file. This will make all the documents have the same definitions as in the first document.

  • HT1349 we both have the same Iphone, how can we make sure that we both have different account on the same network?

    my partner and i have the same models of Iphone. how can we make sure that when she logs on to our home network, it recognises her phone and doesn't down load to my phone?

    Did you try to rename one of them? iTunes: How to rename your device
    iTunes remembers the settings for each phone when you sync, even if both phones are called "My iPhone".
    So make sure to set it up like you want to, after that iTunes will do the rest.

    Three family members use ITunes and would like to use Home Share but the HOme Share set-up guidance states that all devices must use the same Apple  ID.
    Is there a workaround for this impasse?

  • All AI channels have the same value - NI PCI-6221 and NI PCI-6229

    Hello,
    I use the example aiex1.cpp for a multichannel AI read with the mseries devices 6221 and 6229.
    This example works for one channel, but the other channels have the same value (+- 0.001 Volt difference).
    For example: I set 5Volt on the first channel and then the other channel have 5Volt too.
    What should I consider in the configuration?
    Please, can someone help me?
    Best regards,
    Heiko

    Hi Heiko,
    Like Moritz, I'm curious what signals you have connected to your AI channels. What voltage do you expect to read on each channel?
    Tom gave me your initialization code and it looks like you've modified aiex1.cpp. Does the example work without any changes?
    I have some more questions that will help me determine where the problem could be coming from, but these two are the easiest. We'll keep getting more and more specific as we remove possible causes.

    Hello Beilei,
    I think that you are running into the AI ghosting issue.  Are the other channels you are using connected to ground when you connect the first channel to 5V?  If the other channels are floating, they will read the same value as the first channel...5V.

  • Thousands of my contacts have the same incorrect birthday: "December 31,2"

    I have thousands of contacts, and most of them have a corrupted Birthday field.  They all contain this wrong birthday "December 3, 2"
    How can I make a bulk correction? I don't have time to change each one individually.
    Thanks!

    Sorry, I meant "December 31, 2"

  • I have 3 iPads ( iPad 2 ) all come up with the same username, how can I seperate them ?

    I have 3 iPads in the family, all are coming up with the same user name and password, how can I seperate them

    You are using the same Apple ID on all of them. If you want to share purchases, there is nothing that you can do about that. You have to use the same username and password in order to share purchased content.
    Your option is to create a new Apple ID for two of the devices and lose the purchased content on those two devices.

  • How do I delete all my contacts at the same time?

    I want to delete all my contacts from my iphone 4s. I know how to delete them one at a time, but I want to know if there is a quicker way?

    On the iPhone I'm afraid you are not able. I would suggest you go to the address book you are syncing to on your computer and delete them there, then re-sync. It should delete them from your iPhone.

  • I have the same and trying to Remove the cache

    Hai,
    I am having the same problem as you face. I am having an idea
    of deleting the cache of the portlet by changing the java source
    codes by implementing setCachedVersion method. So Let me know
    whether you finished. If I finish I will intimate u instantly.

    We are fellow users here on these forums, you're not talking to Apple.
    Have you tried closing the iTunes store app via the multitasking bar and seeing if it works when you re-open the app, and/or tried a soft-reset of your iPad (press and hold both the home and sleep buttons for 10 to 15 seconds after which the Apple logo should appear) ?
