Deleted Contact Info Reappears when I create SMS

I replaced my friend's number on my contacts since he changed his number already. Problem is whenever I send him a message, his old number reappears together with the new one when I type his name on the "To" field. How do I solve this? My contacts are only backed up in iCloud. I have tried wiping all my contacts in Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendar>iCloud>Contacts>Delete from my phone. All my contacts are gone, then I turned back iCloud on again, my contacts were back, and the problem was still there. I checked my Contacts on iCloud, it only shows the new number.
Same thing happens for my old messages. Deleted messages appear on Spotlight Search and it's really bothering me. When I click the message, it just opens the Message App. Im afraid it's consuming my phone's memory. How do I solve this?
Thanks!

The only way to delete this information is to restore the iPhone as new, not from back up.

  • Why do deleted contacts still show when starting new text messages?

    I have an iPhone 4s.  I've deleted many contacts but if I start a new text message that begins with the letter of someones contact I deleted, they show up.  How can this history be deleted?  I have a friend with an iPhone 5 and this does not happen on that model.

    just thought you like to know having apple do a hard reset to my phone didn't fix the problem I still have the deleted contact show up when I text anyone who has the same letters in their name.  Infact the apple store employees and phone operators told me I completely stumped them and they have no idea how to fix this since that contact does not show up anywere else and a hard reset also failed.  they said that eventually maybe my phone will fix itself with one of there upgrades but if I should figure out how to fix it on my own to please let them know how I did it.

  • Contact info gone when I sinc

    I just upgraded to a 3G and want to fix something that has been a problem for about 2 years before I add all my contact info. Here's the deal.
    In contacts I put in a company's name then their main number. I then add a phone and put numerous names and numbers in there. Some companies have 10-15 names and numbers.
    Example:
    ABC Company
    bob smith 614-555-1212
    bob smith cell 614....
    larry smith....
    Larry Cell
    Amy smith
    Amy cell
    Now all this shows up on my I-phone fine but it doesn't show up in my outlook address book. Outlook only recognizes 3 numbers per contact. If anything happens to my phone and need to sync up I will lose all but 3 of the numbers. Per my example, Bob's numbers and one of Larry's numbers will be there all the others will be gone.
    I tried an apple store, e-mail to apple and everyone else, nuttin. Everyone says "I never heard about that". Today someone said there is box/menu to change the number of phone numbers in outlook but I’ve spent an hour looking and can’t find a thing.
    Using widows XP, Outlook 2007
    Anyone???????????
    Thanks

    What you need to do is create every person at ABC Co as a separate contact on your iPhone and include "ABC Co" in the company line. They will each then become a separate address book entry in Outlook when you sync.
    To quickly find everyone at ABC Co in your iPhone contacts, use the search function (at the every top of the contacts list), enter "ABC Co" in the search box and by the time you have got part way through entering the company name, a list of everyone at the company will have appeared on your screen for you to select the one you want to call. This will also enable you to include more information about each contact (e-mail address, cellphone number, notes or even a photo) should you want to.
    You may also want to create a separate entry for the company itself to avoid having to enter address, main switchboard, website details etc for every contact at the company.
    Incidentally, even if all the information in a contact entry on the iPhone doesn't sync with your address book, it will nonetheless be backed up when you connect the iPhone to iTunes. Should you lose the phone, you can restore everything that was on it when you last backed it up to a new one.
    Hope this helps.

  • Deleted Contact Keeps Reappearing (Yahoo)

    I got married 3 months ago and changed my wife's name on my iphone from her maiden to our shared last named.
    Ever since then, her maiden name continuously reappears as a contact. Whenever she calls me, the phone says "Emily F*** or Emily K**".
    No matter how many times I delete her contact info on my iphone & in Yahoo Contacts, it inevitably reappears. I have deleted both versions of her contact info, then I synced. Then I enter just the correct name and contact info and then both versions end up reappearing.
    Does anyone have a solution or should I just head to the Genius Bar?

    Does anyone have an idea?

  • Deleted Contacts show up when trying to send a Text Message.

    I have deleted contacts that still show when I try to send text messages out.Their name still appears even when they are deleted in my contacts. I've tried countless methods but nothing works. It won't go away. It's a huge problem for me and a lot of other people that I've talked to. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    That is a last resort for me. I've done it before but I don't want to do it again. Why can't apple just make this problem disappear?

  • IPhone Outlook sync keeps replacing deleted contact info

    Hi folks, I have loads of people in my contacts who have signed up on the day for newsletters/specials etc. When a customer asks to be removed from our distribution list, I always cut their contact details from the mobile and email fields and paste into their notes. This way, when I send out an update to everyone on the list, the contact doesn't receive it but I still have their details if they need me to contact them personally. I do this cut and paste on my 5s (OS up to date), on Outlook 2013 (Windows 8.1) and iCloud.
    The problem I've been having lately is that when I sync my iPhone with iTunes (up to date), it somehow puts the more recent contacts' phone number and email back into the fields on both iPhone and Outlook. I have been doing this for a long time and have quite a few regular customers who opted out a while ago. Their fields are empty and their contact details are in their notes. Any ideas?

    You are saying that you have altered the contact on both the phone and the computer? That is why the conflict resolution window is appearing. Normally, you just alter in one place and it will sync the other. If you are syncing via iTunes and iCloud both, this is probably where your problem is created. Syncing with iCloud and then with iTunes is creating the conflict. You should only be using one or the other. If you are using iCloud, you should just make the change in either iCloud or the iPhone and let it sync to the other devices. If you change it on the computer and the phone, then iCloud is probably creating the conflict. It doesn't know what to do. What happens if you just make the change in one location?

  • Deleted iPhoto events reappearing when syncing with devices

    Events deleted from Iphoto and all Photo Streams on devices reappearing in itunes when I sync my devices.  Using iOS 8.1.3 and an Iphone 5S and Ipad 2.

    Either you need to repair your iPhoto Library, or iTunes is using a different iPhoto Library than you checked.  Where i your current iPhoto Library stored? In your Pictures folder or on an external drive? Do you have a second iPhoto Library somewhere on your Mac or on an external drive? Maybe a connected backup drive?
    If you have nowhere a second iPhoto Library, try the iPhoto Library First Aid Tools.
    But, make a backup of your iPhoto Library, before you proceed.
    Which version of iPhoto do you have? In iPhoto '11 do the following:
    To launch the "First Aid Tools" hold down the options-command keys ⌥⌘ while double clicking your iPhoto Library.
    Keep the keys held down firmly until the First Aid panel appears.
    Then select  "Rebuild database" from the First Aid pane.
    The may take a while for a large library. Run also the "Repair permissions" option.

  • Others sharing my Apple ID contacts show up when I create a new message even though contacts is turned off in iCloud.

    I have several phones who share the same Apple ID. None have contacts turned on in the Settings>iCloud area, so no one is backing up contacts in the Cloud. When any of us go to create a new text message and start typing in a name, all contacts for all phones show up, not just the contacts for the phone in use. Some names show up in green, some blue, and others grey. If we go into our contacts folder, only the contacts for the phone in use show up. This started once we upgraded to iOS 7.
    Is there any way to make this stop?

  • Error when i create a BP - Person in IC Web CLient

    Hi,
    In Our Business Process: When call comes to Contact center, the agent can create a new customer (Person and Organization) in through ICWeb client.
    We configurated our account identification profile assigning  z grouping to  z default role in the account creation and Role BUP001 for creation of contact person.
    When we create a organization in IC WebClient  is created correctly  but when you want to create a Person, the systems shows a dump
    "Source type \CLASS=CL_CRM_BOL_ENTITY is not compatible, for the purposes of assignment, with target type \CLASS=CL_BSP_WD_VALUE_NODE"
    Doing this also i am not able to create new customer person.
    Does anybody know about how can i resolve this problem?
    Regards
    Laura

    Hello Laura,
    The error ""Source type \CLASS=CL_CRM_BOL_ENTITY is not compatible, for the purposes of assignment, with target type \CLASS=CL_BSP_WD_VALUE_NODE" is casting error.
    When we create person / account it is value node untill mandatory fields are entered in account details screen. When "Grouping" value can be changed it is value node, when it is disabled it is model node. So if there is a variable declared CL_CRM_BOL_ENTITY and it want to get value node there can be type casting error.
    Please check in ST22 with more details, there can be custom coding.
    Thanks

  • How to correct safari autofill to my contact info, not my husband's

    Autofill on my MacBookPro persistently uses my husband's contact info.  When I go into Safari Preferences, there is an "edit" option, but it only opens my husband's Contact Page to edit.  I cannot edit to change the contact page to my contact page.  How can I do this?

    Select your card in Contacts. Then select
    Card ▹ Make This My Card
    from the menu bar. If you share an account with your husband, he will now have the same problem you had.

  • I've deleted some contacts, but when I create a new text it will still suggest the deleted contact. I want that to stop.

    I've deleted some contacts but when I create a new message it still suggests the deleted contact. How do I permanently delete that information?

    Restoring should not be the only solution !
    Apple should work on fixing this issue.
    The option is available when u email,
    A blue arrow appears and when u click it,
    It asks if u want to remove it permanently
    So i think the phone # after u send a sms/text
    Should be able to be deleted at will.
    Apple team get to work ! Lol

  • IPhone displaying deleted contacts when writing SMS

    When writing a new SMS, I try to enter the name of the contact. My iPhone then displays deleted contacts. How do I fix this?

    The only way is to erase all content and settings and then restore the iPhone as a new device.  Just make sure to back up the content you intend to save.  Do not restore form the backup because that will restore the text history as well.
