Contact App data irrelevant to Contacts appearing in Mail

The editing of contacts in the Contact App bears zero relationship to how those Contacts appear in the Mail App.
I am stuck without the abiity to add to, delete, or edit any people in my Mail App.
HELP!
My Father is onto his 3rd email address, I can't add new friends to my contacts, and I have a sea of contacts of no use to me which cannot be removed, it's an utter bullocksing of the system.

I am using Mountain Lion (all updates) on a MacPro.
The issue dates back to snow leopard (I only jumped to ML semi recently).

If this MS account is your Primary Account that you set-up your phone with it will automatically sync atleast once a day. You can't stop it. only way is to not having an active WiFi / Mobile Data connection. But as soon as you are connected thru' one of these, it will sync. 
..and only way to delete this account is thru' a Factory Reset (settings-->about-->reset your phone). 
Note that for downloading any applications too, you will require this account.

  • Reset Contacts/ Restore only app data

    My situation is very complicated, and when I fully explained I got very few views and no answers.
    Basically the file that holds my contacts is corrupted. I need one of the following solutions:
    -Name and path of the contacts file on my iPhone
    -Delete contacts file in backup (held on mac)
    -Way to only backup app data (because I can restore everything else via iCloud sync)
    The following tricks don't work:
    -telling to delete all synced data
    -replace iPhone with MobileMe contacts
    -replace iPhone with Mac contacts
    -deleting and re-importing all contacts
    -app to delete all contacts or selected contacts
    Sooner the better. Basically I need this fix because all interactions with these contacts don't show in apps. All interactions show as if they come from someone I don't know..
    -texts show phone numbers instead of names
    -missed calls show numbers instead of name
    Real desperate. Please help

    It looks like selecting Restore again forced iTunes to load the 3rd party apps onto my iPhone. Strange!

  • I updated my iPod touch 4th generation from the latest iOS 4 update (i think maybe iOS 4.3.5 or something like that) to iOS 5.1.1 and my Photos, Videos, contacts, music, App data, etc. was deleted. How can I all the data back?

    I updated my iPod touch 4th generation from the latest iOS 4 update (i think maybe iOS 4.3.5 or something like that) to iOS 5.1.1. I updated to iOS 5.1.1 on a Windows XP Home Edition with the Service Pack 3 installed on the Windows XP (which I believe is the latest version). After updating, I unplugged my iPod from the computer. I saw that all my photos and videos were on my iPod, but there were no apps. A window popped up and told me to enter a passcode for my iPod. I entered a passcode. I then locked my iPod and entered what I thought to be the correct passcode, but my iPod remained unlocked. Desperate, I tried many passcodes with failure. After a while, my iPod became disabled for a long time. I decided to reset my iPod. After I reseted it, I chose to reset from my earlier back up. After reseting, my computer loaded on all my apps. But, when I started using my iPod, I realized all my photos, videos, music, app data (like game saves and high scores), etc. were gone! I have no idea what to do and I am very stressed about this! SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME GET ALL MY STUFF BACK!!!!!!

    Go to iTunea>Preferences>Devices and see if there is a backupright at the time you did the update. Then try restoring from that backup. If the apps are in your iTunes library, any app data will be restored to the iPod.
    When restoring from an iOS 4 (or later) backup, if the device had a passcode set, iTunes will ask if you want to set a passcode (and remind you that you had protected your device with a passcode). iTunes will not ask you to set a passcode when restoring from iOS 3.x and prior backups.
    Therefore, remembe the passcode that you enter this time.
    It appears that if you restore from a backup, that backup is not subseqyently overwritten by the next backup.

    While updating or downloang apps in my iphone, it appears, Can not connect to iTunes Store. My software is up to date and there is no problem in wifi.
    Can anybody explain why I can't connect itunes?
    Thanks in advance
    Omer

    Where are you when connected to this Wifi?
    Home - At Work - Coffee Shop other locations??
    Home -
    May need to reboot router - check ISP for any recent firmware updates for router - Reset All Settings - Reset Network Settings [NOT Erase All Content and Settings -> As this wipes the device back to factory settings]
    Work -
    See the IT Guy and ask about any "Other Security WiFi Blocks"
    Other locations [Secure WiFi] -
    Try a location with a Non Secure WiFi -> As these locataions "typically" do not have a IT Guy to go to for questions regarding [Other Security WiFi Blocks]
    Non-Secure WiFi -
    Then try the steps below [Even with the others listed above]
    Just because you may be able to get to a Secure and Non Secure Website on safari on the iphone does not mean the WiFi connection is "Perfect or ok" and I am not saying it is not.
    Also take into effect servers for iTunes updates/Apps etc could be overloaded at that time.
    You can also try a simple Hard Reset [Hold down Sleep/Wake button and Home button at same time - Once see Apple Logo release both buttons - Allow iphone to reset]
    If have already tried these and have not contacted AppleCare Support try that too.
    Hope these help you!

  • I share an iTunes account with my siblings. So their contacts appear on my phone too. How can I take it off?

    I share an iTunes account with my siblings. So their contacts appear on my phone too. How can I take it off?

    You can share the same Apple ID in
    Settings > iTunes & App Store > Apple ID: here
    But for all other Apple services like:
    FaceTime, iMessage, iCloud, etc, one of you should use a different Apple ID.

  • Favorite contacts appear as only numbers, no names.

    After iOS8 update, my iPhone 5's Favorites show only numbers, not names. They also do not appear in my Contacts list. All other Contacts appear as they should. I am able to call and message all my Contacts.

    DAVB
    your post got me to thinkin - in fact I do have memory of having rxd some texts from ATT - these were inititated by them - and have even rxd spam texts from unknown sources- which ended up in the list as "numerical contacts"
    I deleted those.....
    Now as far as narrowing down - seems like there must be some link from the senders end between their "text name" and their associated number... which makes me wonder - what if they send u a text but don't bother to setup the "text name" stuff ? if they were a stranger on my radar I wouldn't have their contact info...
    So perhaps it gets down to whether or not I initiated the conv
    if I didn't - yet still put them into my Macbook Pro's Address Book
    one might presume the iPhone's text app is smart enough to link that strange phone number to a contact
    Perhaps an oversite on the programmers part ?

  • Recently downloaded new software and now all of my wife's contacts appear in my contacts. How do I change this?

    Recently downloaded new software and now all of my wife's contacts appear in my contacts. How do I change this?

    I suggest creating a separate AppleID for iCloud for each individual and using the same one for iTunes. By having a separate one for iCloud you can keep your contacts separated, have more iCloud storage (5 gigs each instead of sharing 5 gigs) and each have your own iMessage contact. Otherwise you both will be able to see each others imessages. You can still use the same AppleID for the iTunes Store to share music and app purchases. The iPhone "Settings" has different location for inputting your iCloud and iTunes AppleID.

  • On a Contacts search, not all contacts appear

    Hi
    I have iphone 5, ios7.
    Seemms very odd recently, not using groups - all contacts are displayed. But when I use the 'search' in the Contacts App, not all contacts appear. Dispite the fact that if I scroll through manually, I can see and access the very contact I was searching for. This applies to quite a few contacts without any apparent consistent link between the tricky ones.
    Any ideas folks?
    Many thanks

    Thanks for the quick reply :)
    The search doesn't work even if I put in a name exactly as its listed. It used to be for example if I typed 'A' then all the names starting with 'A' would list but now I get nothing.

  • Contacts: some contacts appearing up to 6 times in my address book.

    Contacts: some contacts appearing up to 6 times in my address book. I checked iCloud online, they are there only once.

    Make sure that in iTunes you have turned off syncing of any data that you now sync with iCloud. If its on, than you get contacts syncing from both iCloud and your computer (when you connect to iTunes).

  • My boyfriend and I have each an IPhone with two different Apple IDs. Since the recent software his contacts appears in my Iphone. How can I switch that off? I have be looking at both Iphones and Iclouds.

    My boyfriend and I have each an IPhone with two different Apple IDs. Since the recent software his contacts appears in my Iphone. How can I switch that off? I have be looking at both Iphones and Iclouds.

    All apps and purchases are linked to your apple ID, so you can't share them across 2 devices that are using different apple id's, it won't work. the purchases that are on your mac at the moment will only work with the apple id they were brought with.
    the only thing thats possible to share is purchased music. you have to first covert it to mp3 within itunes, then your bf can import it into his own itunes library and sync with his phone.
