Contacts not deleting -- how to erase?

There are about 1000 contacts on my iPhone that won't delete no matter what I do. Some are duplicates of contacts I have, others are contacts I've deleted from my Address Book -- but they persist on the iPhone.
I've restored the iPhone software several times; synced with my Address Book empty and set to replace Contacts on the iPhone; even set up the iPhone as a new iPhone after a software restore; but the contacts won't erase...
Any idea how to get rid of them?
(Have latest iTunes, all MacOS System Updates, iPhone 1.0.1 software all installed)

Your profile says the computer is running Mac OS, Resetting the Sync History from iSync may resolve the issue.
From the /Applications folder>Launch iSync>Prefrences>Reset Sync History.

You can share the same Apple ID for purchasng form the iTunes and app stores without any problems, but you should all used separate iCloud accounts with separate Apple IDs. (You are not required to use the same ID for iCloud and other services as you do for the iTunes store.) This will prevent you from ending up with merged data. You should also use separate Apple IDs for iMessage and FaceTime or you will end up getting each other's text messages and FaceTime calls.

like roaminggnome said you should see your contacts again once you sync with iTunes. if you used iCloud before, make sure contact sync is turned on and your contacts should be back.

Drag it to the trash icon in your dock. This is a disk image, and you need to "eject" it, to get rid of it.

If she refuses, then as Tim suggested the iPhone is probably stolen. You'll need to contact your local police department and ask how to proceed.

In Mail I have checked Remove copy from server but they do not delete how can I get it to sync correctly?

In Mail I have checked Remove copy from server but they do not delete, In Mail when I have checked Remove copy from server but they do not delete.
I have a hotmail accout. When the emails have downloaded and I "Get Account Info" in Messages on server it shows all the messages I have just downloaded if I switch to That have been downloaded to my Mac the display it is blank. Also if I delete the downloaded messages and then get new info. All the messages are downloaded again and the count of new messages increases (this increases every time I Get New Messaages) .

IPhone gmail contacts not deleting.

Hi I'm having a problem with my gmail account on my iPhone 3Gs. Whenever I try to send a friend an email I start by typing "Me" and a contact named Megan comes up. I deleted Megan from my phone and my gmail contacts (and all of her email just in case it was causing the issue) but no matter what Megan still comes up. There is no trace of Megan in my phone or on my gmail contact list but I can't get her out of the "to:" box in gmail on my phone.
Any tips? It is driving me nuts!
Thank you

I have had the same problem if I am on WiFi only, and I am NOT logged in to the internet.

I had all of my video files that I work on in iMovie saved to an external hard drive exclusively to save space on my Macbook. I had just finalized a project, went to work on another one and files couldn't be found, were not deleted how do I find them?

I had all of my video files that I work on in iMovie saved to an external hard drive exclusively to save space on my Macbook. The other day I had just finalized a project and went to work on another one and when I opened the project I could see what should have been there, but scrolling over the entire clip I would only see black and that the file was missing. I did not drag anything on the hard drive to the trash or move anything. How can I get those files? These are videos of my kids and I am devastated and willing to try anything!

Control click does not work - no option to find files. I have no idea what to do. When I look at the usage of the external drive the space is being used, but I cannot find the files. I am going to try MacKeeper's Undelete and see if I can make any progress with it.

That's not legal.
Change your password. Re-enter your contacts. Your "friend" set up her phone using your Apple ID and deleted your contacts in iCloud.

I was syncing everything to itunes and I tried to do my contacts, not knowing quite how. I ended up erasing all of them from my phone without any of them syncing to my computer or itunes. Is there any way I can get them back? I really need them all.

There are lots of ideas floating on the web for this particular issue - all of which I tried. I had the same problem and it turned out to be my USB cable. I thought the cable was fine as it would charge my phone and play but the data transfer pin was bent. I replaced the cable and it fixed the problem. Worth a shot as it is an easy fix!

How do I view and manage certain files that I have stored in iCloud? I know that I can delete an entire backup, but is it possible to delete certain photos/contacts/notes etc. from that backup?
