Cannot delete gmail contact list

i am having problems syncing my verizon/yahoo account back to outlook on the computer.  I had heard that gmail accounts can cause these types of problems.  However when I go into Contact lists I see 4 listed there and I only want 1 contact list.  How do I delete the other contact lists?

I tried this solution, but the problem is that once I go to the contact list, select options, and bring up the keyboard, what I type goes into the search field for existing contacts. Since arset and rset aren't existing contacts, it attempts to add them as a new contact.  Please tell me what I'm doing wrong.

  • How do I delete a Contact List?

    I added a Hotmail account to my phone some time ago, and for some reason it imported all the contacts from that account.
    I no longer wish to use the account so I deleted the email account from the phone, but that is not deleted the associate contacts.
    When I find one of the contacts, I go into Options and I see it is assicated with the 'Contact List' of that said email account.
    How do I delete a particular 'Contact List' to which that one is associated?

    Here is something I found in the BlackBerry Knowledge Base:
    To clear contacts in a Gmail® contact list on the BlackBerry® smartphone, please complete the following steps:
    Note: Back up the BlackBerry smartphone. For assistance creating a backup file, see KB12487.
    From the Home screen of the BlackBerry smartphone, click Options > Advanced Options >Service Books.
    Highlight the <username>@gmail.com [SYNC] service book. Press the Menu key and choose Delete.
    Open Contacts on the BlackBerry smartphone.
    Press the Menu key and click Options.
    Type RSET in the Contacts options (this can be typed anywhere in the Contacts Options screen).
    The following prompt appears: Wireless synchronization for <username>@gmail.com is not enabled. Wipe contact list anyway?
    Click Yes.

  • Syncing iPhone 3G creates unwanted new contacts in Gmail contact list.

    For reasons that are unknown to me, I have many multiple duplications of contacts in my contact list. So, using the contact manager in Gmail I spent many hours cleaning up my contact list so that all of my contacts were correct and not duplicated. However, as soon as I synced the iPhone 3G I immediately had twice as many contacts as before I started, once again ending up with hundreds of unnecessary contact duplications.
    I have now spent many days reading internet blogs and forum posts, and came up with the following (which I incorrectly thought was the solution):
    1] In iTunes, I clicked on 'Edit' --> 'Preferences' --> 'Devices'. Here, I enabled the option to 'prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically'. I also enabled the option to 'warn when any of the data on this computer will be changed'.
    2] With the iPhone connected, in iTunes I clicked on 'devices' --> 'iPhone' --> 'Info'. Here, I un-checked the option to 'sync contacts', followed by clicking the button 'remove contacts'.
    Now I confirmed that there are no contacts on the iPhone. Zero. None.
    3] In Gmail, I once again spent many hours going trough all of my contacts, cleaning up the unnecessary duplicates. This time, however, I chose to export my contact list to a .CSV file on my computer, so that if this happens again I would just delete them all and restore my contact list fro this backup file.
    Now I have 0 contacts on the iPhone, and approximately 250 contacts on my Gmail account.
    4] In iTunes 10.2.1.1 running on Windows 7, I once again clicked on 'Edit' --> 'Preferences' --> 'Devices'. Here I now clicked the button to 'reset sync history'.
    5] I connect the iPhone to the computer, re-enable the option to 'sync contacts with Gmail' and click the 'Apply' button. The iPhone sync process begins and I am presented with the following message:
    Syncing with Google contacts will change more than 0% of your contacts on this computer.
    Information: Contacts. Add:41. Delete:0. Modify:2
    Now I already confirmed that there were no contacts on the iPhone, so where are these 41 additions and 2 modifications coming from !?
    I let it happen, knowing that I can repeat this process, using the '.CSV' backup file containing my correct contacts. When the Sync finishes, I log in to my Gmail account and check my contacts. I find that I now have approximately 360 contacts (which is a lot more than the original 250 plus 41), many of which are duplicated multiple times (one contact is even duplicated 6 times). I also notice contacts which I had previously deleted from my Gmail contacts list have now returned.
    As there were 0 contacts on the phone, where are these duplicates and previously deleted contacts coming from when I sync the iPhone !? Somebody from Apple please help me.
    - James.

    O.K. I may have fixed it (time will tell).
    As I had previously chosen to sync with Microsoft Outlook 2010, but the trial period expired and the price to but it was far too high, so I changed to Syncing with Gmail. Therefore I wondered if Outlook may be affecting the iTunes sync even though it was not current chosen in iTunes contact sync option. So, I un-installed Microsoft Office 2010 and re-booted the PC. Now, pressing the 'Rest Sync History' button in iTunes no longer created new contacts in Gmail.
    However, this did not completely solve the problem. With 0 contacts on the phone, and 0 contacts in Gmail, syncing the phone still re-created 41 of the previous contacts. Thew only way I could get rid of these 41 contacts was to deleted them one at a time from the iPhone itself. Doing it from Gmail, or un-checking the iTunes 'sync contacts' option to delete all contacts from the phone at once, did not work; the contacts still kept coming back.
    Funny thing though, iTunes did indicate that it would add 41 contacts when I synced the phone to the computer, but after deleting them from the phone it now warned that it would delete 41 contacts from the computer. But, these contacts were not in my Gmail, so I still don't know where they were coming from.
    Either way, after many hours spent over many days, I seem to now be able to sync my phone contacts with my Gmail without it creating any more unnecessary duplicates.
    I hope someone out there can tell me why this happened, and I hope my experiences with this help someone else in a similar situation.
    - James.

    Are you syncing via iTunes? Do you want to erase everything on the phone, or just the contacts? If syncing via iTunes, just have it sync to an empty contact list is one way.

    Please help!!

    Hi Top,
    Please performing the deleting action as Administrator for testing if it is convenient.
    If we can do this via Administrator, it should be an permission issue. Please double check whether we modified the owner's permission.
    According to the log said, I found a point "There is not enough memory available to perform the operation."
    Can we add a contact via Owner?
    Found a KB for your reference:
    Error message when you try to add an Active Directory user account as a contact in Outlook: "There is not enough memory to perform the operation"

  • Cannot delete old contacts from Email send to list

    Have deleted contacts from contacts list, from Email accounts in computer etc, still the old names remain. tried re-syncing accounts still didn't work.

    It has been like that since as long as I can remember. Whenever you email someone from your phone it keeps their address in the previous recipients. I believe I read a long time ago that you can get rid of them by going into the settings app and reseting the network settings, but I've never tried it myself.

  • I cannot delete any contacts from my I phone 4. It is not indicating any delete or edit button for contacts.

    I tried to delete some old unnwanted contacts from my I phone. But it does not show the delete or edit option in the contact list page.

    My settings are fine.  I believe the issue is because there is a typo in the email address to the person I am trying to send the email to.  I am trying to open the email to correct typo but every time I try to open the email I get a message saying, "Cannot open email, email is being sent."  I also cannot delete this email either.

  • Deleting a contact list item through Powershell in sharepoint 2010 synced with outlook 2010, does not delete the item from outlook.

    hi All,
    I have a requirement for updating the contact list from CSV file and updating/ adding and  deleting the changes in the SharePoint list using PowerShell script. List is also synced with outlook.
    The problem arises, when we delete an item from the list using PS, the item (which was earlier synced with outlook) is not getting deleted from outlook.
    Strange behavior : when we perform the same deletion operation manually from the SharePoint UI, every thing works fine as required.
    Please refer the below PS
    #Adding the records from SharePoint not in CSV file
    if($flag -ne 1)
    Get-Member -InputObject $csvRow -MemberType NoteProperty | ForEach-Object {
    $property = $_.Name
    $newItem.set_Item($property, $csvRow.$property)
    $newItem.Update()
    #Deleting the records from SharePoint not in CSV file
    CreatePSLog "Deleting the records from SharePoint not in CSV file"
    foreach($itm in $List.items)
    $del = 0
    $items | ForEach-Object {
    if($itm["SAP Ansprechpartnernr"] -eq $_."SAP Ansprechpartnernr")
    $del++;
    if(!$del)
    $List.GetItemById($itm.Id).Delete()
    $List.Update();
    $Web.Update();
    many thanks in advance, Please suggest as I am completly stuck on this :(
    Regards, Arun kumar

    Hi Kumar,
    Please remove the codeline $List.Update();, then run your code again, it works for me.
    You may need to firstly delete the synced contacts list within Outlook to remove those undeleted accounts, then re-connect the SharePoint contacts list to outlook, then run your modified Powershell code.
    Thanks

  • I cannot view my contact list via Backup Assistant Plus

    I go to My Verizon, More Actions, Manage My Contacts.  After doing so, up comes a dialogue box which welcomes me to Backup Assistant Plus.  It has an option to add one or more email accts.  I choose Windows Live Hotmail and enter my email address and password.  After doing so, I receive an error message which reads, "Failed to add endpoint due to the following reason:  Missing Device Name.  Please try again."  I am entering the correct email address and password but to no avail.  As a result, it is impossible for me to see the contact list within Backup Assistant Plus.  Has anyone else noted this behavior?  Thanks in advance.

    Thanks but I cannot seem to follow the instructions.  I cannot see the Content Management selection you mention.  It seems that I already have BAckup Assistant Plus on my acct. as I can go to that option on my phone and it tells me that the most recent backup was successful.  I can't see these contacts online however.  To review, I choose More Actions - Manage My Contacts - Welcome to Backup Assistant Plus - At that point, a box comes up asking me to add one or more email accts.  I choose Windows Live Hotmail and enter the correct email address and password.  That is when I get the aforementioed message, "Failed to add endpoint due to the following reason:  Missing Device Name. Please try again."
    This has become very frustrating as my calls to Verizon have not helped.  However, it is reassuring to know that my contacts are indeed being backed up through my Microsoft Outlook acct. and can be retrieved from there should need be.
    Nevertheless, I would sure like to be able to see and manage these contacts on Backup Assistant Plus online.  Thanks for your help.

  • E71 Cannot dial from Contacts List

    I found the answer myself. Just switch the phone off and on again to make it re-boot. Frustrating but just like a computer! or maybe it was taking it 30,000 feet into the air that cured it!!
