Contact list for phone number of previous Apple ID still showing!

Hi everyone,
I hope someone has an answer for this. I'm on my work computer, and my boss previously had his Apple ID linked to iCloud, the App Store, and Internet Accounts. I disabled sync from his ID on this computer for everything other than Find My Mac, but his contacts were still showing up in the auto-fill portion when messing around in iMessage. Today, we decided that I should just log out of his Apple ID for everything and log in with mine. I updated to Yosemite as well, logged out of his ID in the App Store, iCloud, and Internet Accounts. His Apple ID is nowhere to be found. I logged into everything under my Apple ID and was attempting to use iMessage. When I begin to type a name into the "To:" section of a new message, it still tries to autofill people from his contacts list. If I check under messages>window>contacts, the only two contacts that appear (as always) are my name and his, the two user accounts on this computer. Is this just some glitch? Why on earth are his contacts still pulling up for auto-fill? He has never once even used iMessage on this computer, so it's not like they could be in there for some reason due to previously entering them. I currently don't have my contacts synced from my Apple ID because I'm concerned that it will somehow mesh our two actual contact lists together on our phones or something crazy that we absolutely don't want. Anyone experience anything similar or have any ideas? I wish I could contact Apple Support but I refuse to pay $30 for something like this.
Thank you!
Angel Jenne

You can try with this:
Make a new user for you with Administrative power
Take backup of the old user files
Delete the old user
Another solution is there but it is not a good solution I think. You can format and clean install OS.

  • I want a seperate address book for contacts, and another contact list for the phone. Anyone?

    Just got an iphone (yay!) and the icloud sync-ed my contact list form my first generation ipad. Hoever, I do not want this info in the contact list the phone accesses (2 different lists). Is there a way to keep them seperate? With the latest operating system (installed this morning) I can't see the contacts I manually entered into the phone unless I download from the cloud (which has EVERY contact in it-not just the manually entered conrtacts). Surely there must be ways to create groups, or different phone/contact lists to access?

    till now i don't think thunderbird has multiple address books. but u can try rd party app but still i don't recommend this. If i 'll get any info about this i will definately tell you. sorry but if it won't helps.

  • Can I use one contacts database for phone and email?

    I have a gmail contacts list for email.  I also have a phone number database imported from a non-apple cell phone to my iPhone 5c.  I find that I'm using the iphone more and more for both phone and email, but I also use my PC for email.
    I exported my 300+ gmail contacts using google to a CSV file, cleaned it up, and imported it back to my PC.  Of course, it doesn't have the 200+ phone numbers that are in my phone number listing now on my iPhone.
    I like working with spreadsheets because of the many utilities to sort, cut/paste, etc.  If I take my gmail database, ultimately add phone numbers, and sync in iTunes will it be accessed whenever I want to make a call and also when I want to send an email?  I'm hesitant to sync with the new gmail "email only" database for fear of losing all of the many phone numbers in my iPhone. Can I keep my phone numbers temporarily while I edit my master contacts database - maybe by having separate databases on my iPhone for email and phone?  I hope to eventually keep a master PC database of all data on all entries and change/reimport as needed.
    Thanks for letting me know if this will work, or if there are any cautions that I should heed.

    Yes.

  • The Contact List bug/ph number filtering problem f...

    Hi im facing a problem with my nokia N95 8gb. the problem is Contact list related.
    such as
    I have stored a number is like 01920803355 in my contact list.and the number has saved as "Enderson". But if i dialed a number like 01930803355 then its show Enderson during calling/Incoming.though the number 01930803355 has not saved in my phone/sim at all. I thing its a number/name filtering bug for N95 8gb. beacuse here in this two numbers 10 digit same and only one digit is different. but the phone does not recoginize.
    Plz Nokia Check it out......

    it is actually a feature more than a problem ... and this is not limited to N95 8GB ... I think almost all nokia phones will have the same problem .. Nokia phones compare the last 7 digits of a number and ignore the first digits ... so if there is two different numbers that have the same last 7 digits, your phone will assume it is the same number... I think the idea behind this feature is to ignore the international code so if you dial a number with or without the international code it will be the same name ...
    but in your case, you suffered from the over-smart of this feature

  • HT1918 How do i change the phone number on my apple ID account so i can use messaging with my Ipod Touch 4th gen?

    How do I change my phone number on my Apple ID account? Not the number for billing. I got a new Ipod touch and when I was setting it up my emails where correct but the phone number was wrong. The gentlemen at the Apple Store told me just to go on my account on my computer and change it but i cant find where. Only part i know how to change is the billing number. Thanks.

    If you can remember them their current answers you can login here and change them : https://appleid.apple.com , click on 'Manage your Apple ID' and then 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of your account's page
    If you can't remember their answers and you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then see if the instructions on this user tip helps you get them reset : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551

  • I unregistered my phone number with my apple id and now i need to register it back

    I went from an iPhone 4 to a Samsung Galaxy s4.  When I made the switch I was unable to receive text messages from iPhone users, so I "unregistered" my phone number from my apple id.  I also called tech support and they had to remove the license from the phone number.  I was still unable to receive messages from iPhone users, so I caved and ended up switching back to Apple products and bought an iPhone 5.  I can't figure out how to register my phone number and device with my apple id.  Can someone help?  Thanks!!!

  • Why does the i5 add a contact to my contacts list for every person I have ever emailed?  My 4 didn't.

    Why does the i5 add a contact to my contacts list for every person I have ever emailed using Outlook and Gmail?  The i4 didn't have this issue.

    Hi drewskiiiiiiiii,
    If you are having issues with your iPhone's Contacts application acting oddly, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
    First, quit all running applications and test again -
    Force an app to close in iOS
    Next, I would try restarting and if needed resetting the iPhone -
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -
    How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • TA38622 how do you delete a contact name and phone number from this?  i have deleted it from my regular contacts, but it remains in a text memory when i begin to type the beginning of a name

    How do I delete a contact name and phone number from my texting memory?  I have deleted this contact from my regular contact information; however when I text and begin to text a contact beginning with the 1st letter of the name I had deleted, it brings up the old, deleted contact information in my texting history only.

    You would have to restore as new.

  • How do I create different contacts lists for two iphone/users?

    How do I create different contacts lists for two iphone/users?

    Sorry. This doesn't make a lot of sense. Each iPhone user should have their own cloud accounts with which to sync contacts.
    The iPhone is not a multi-user device.
