Deleteing a contact on my Ipod Touch

I have a contact on my Ipod touch that is not on my Mac. I want to delete it but it is not working. I have tried syncing but no luck. It is listed as just an email address but not in my contact list but yet it comes up when I start to type the persons name.

I hope i explained my problem properly. I have two contacts for the same person One is the roght one and the other is an incorrect one. Both come up, one I can delete easily but the one I wamt to delete I cannot. Do I still have to restore to factory settings?

  • How do I delete all my contacts from my iPod Touch?

    I'm giving my iPod touch to my grandson and want to delete all my contacts from my iPod Touch. These have been synched from Mobile Me (.Mac). I've unchecked the synch contact box in the setting section of iTunes, but the contacts do not get deleted. (Also, I want to be careful not to accidentally delete them from my .Mac contact list in the process.) I successfully removed my music and photos in this manner, but the contacts are not being deleted. Advice would be appreciated.

    Connect the Touch to iTunes and click the Restore button. After the Touch is erased and the OS is re-loaded, you'll have the option to load your last backup or set it up as a new iPod (which is what you want).
    Alternatively, you can simply use the built-in utility. On the Touch go to Settings/Reset/Erase All Content and Settings. That may actually take longer than Restoring though.

  • I recently lost all of my contacts on my iPod touch 4g.  If I sync my iPod with my backups on my PC,will the contacts come back or will they be deleted also?

    I recently lost all of my contacts on my iPod touch 4g.  If I sync my iPod with my backups on my PC, will the contacts come back to my iPod or will the sync delete the contacts from my backup file?

    The contacts are part of the backup. So restoring from a backup that has the contacts should have the contacts. Make sure that you have autosyncing turned off, otherwise when you connect the iPod to the computer iTunes may overwrite the old backup with the new contents of the iPod that does not contain the contacts. To turn off go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and check the box that says Prevent iPods...

  • How do I replace the contacts on MacBook Air with the contacts on my iPod Touch?

    My main contacts list is on my iPod Touch which I sync with my office iMac.  I want that list of contacts on my MacBook Air at home.  Then I want to put that list on my new iPhone. 
    It appears that the default is for the contacts on the iPod Touch to be replaced by what is on the MacBook Air.  That is the opposite of what I want.
    My eventual goal is to have all my contacts updated using iCloud.  The problem is that what exactly happens in these processes is not explained on the support pages that I can see.

    Did you try to reset the sync history on your MacBookAir in iSync/Settings, delete the contacts on it, set up one contact after that and sync? This should trigger the message to merge contacts with your iPod contact list.
    But make sure to have all devices backed up before you start.
    You could also try to export your iMac contacts and import them on your MacBookAir again.
    See also iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Contacts for more info about contacts and iCloud.

  • Is there a way to copy or back up contacts from my Ipod touch without using Itunes?

    Is there a way to copy or back up contacts from my Ipod touch without using Itunes?

    Are you sure that you can transfer contacts from the iPod to Skydrive?
    I would try the links that I previusly provided and try to get iTunes to see the iPOd so you can do everthing right.
    If you find a computer that can see the iPOd yu can update the iPod on that computer.  See:
    iOS 5: Updating your device to iOS 5
    Yu can make that your suncing computer by -
    - Transfering iTunes purchases:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - Connect the iPod and make a backup by right clicking on the iPOd under Dvices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore from that backup. That will also update the iPod.

  • How do I synch Contacts on my iPod Touch?

    I have tried to synch Contacts onto my iPod Touch (First Generation) several times now and have checked the box that says "Replace information  on this iPad" but so far, there are no contacts showing on the iPad. I need them actually stored on the physical iPad, not just the Cloud since I am often not near a Wi-Fi hotspot.

    In order to sync contacts from your Mac to your iPod, you need to be using an "on my Mac" account in your address book. When you connect your iPod to iTunes click on the Info tab and select the calendars you wish to sync.
    This user tip might help you understand how accounts work with Address Book.

  • Is there any way to sync my contacts on my ipod touch to Microsoft Outlook?

    Is there any way to sync my contacts on my ipod touch to microsoft outlook using the push service from Mobile Me? Or any other mode of transferring?

    Sure. Install the latest version of iTunes on your PC, and just connect your iPod Touch to it, decline the prompt to autosync (the warning about losing your music), then go into the info tab, select sync contacts, and click apply. Your contacts will be transferred (both directions, i.e. the outlook contacts and your IPT contacts will be merged and the combined set will be present on both lists).
    Hope this helps...

  • Deleting music from my iPhone/iPod Touch

    How can I delete music from my iPhone/iPod Touch on iTunes? My original computer broke and I connect my devices to my laptop but I cannot delete to make room even when I activate my account to the laptop. It tells me non of my music is connected to the laptop and basically if I want room, I gotta restore my device but I don't want to lose all the stuff I have on it. Is there another way to delete music from the devices itself? I can delete podcast but not music...that's kind of dumb.

    you can't.  The iPhone will only synch with ONE iTunes library at a time.
