Deleting many contacts at once

Since the merging with msn messenger, my skype account imported a lot of contacts that I don't really talk with anymor.
In order to organize my account properly, I would like to be able to delete contacts in bulks. Would that be possible in a future atualization?

These steps don't work. I'm using a Mac and it says I have to delete from my Address Book on my Mac. What kind of silliness is that? Also, for some odd reason when Skype picked up my phone numbers from the address it book it added the Australian country code to all the numbers. So here I am, an address book full of phone numbers I can't use and I have to delete them from my Mac address book which I don't want to do because the phone numbers in there are correct in there but I can't delete them from Skype because it won't work. Anyone with any ideas? (By the way does anyone have these types of problems with Viber?)

ICloud keeps duplicating my contacts, any of which I need to delete anyways. Is there a way to delete multiple contacts at once? I have been deleting them one at a time, but they keep reappearing.

I have exactly the same problem! I have Outlook 2010 and it does the same thing with my contacts, and calender enteries!! Really frustrating

What is a quick way to delete multiple contacts at once?

I already backed up my contacts but have over 100 contacts that I no longer need. I know how to delete a contact one at a time, but I would like to delete multiple contacts at once. How do I do this?

Have you tried Automator?
For example:

TS4009 I deleted a large number of contacts on one iphone when i got a new one. icloud must have automatically synced to the old one, then synced my new one to that, thus deleting many contacts. can i restore them?

When a device that is connected to an icloud account has it's contacts deleted, the same contacts at icloud.com are also deleted and then the changes propagate to other computers and devices also connected to the same icloud account. In other words, the contacts are deleted everywhere. Also, any iOS backup to icloud does not include contacts or any of the other Apple data, like calendars, reminders, etc. The only way you can get that data back is if it was on a computer which has been frequently backed up. You restore the data from the backup. (This reference to "backup" is a local backup, it has nothing to do with icloud.)

Improvement: Delete many messages in once time

WHy aren't we able to remove many messages in once time. The only way we can do on latest iOS is to Delete one by one, it takes much time to do for all conversasion that we want to swipe out!!

Good question, but since this forum is user to user, I'm sure no one knows what Apple designs things exactly this certain way, so good luck getting an answer

Deleting many targets at once

Is there any easy way to delete many targets from the OMS at once? if i go targets, I have to remove 1 at a time.

I highly recommend having a look into the enterprise manager command line interface "emcli". It has a delete_target verb which can easily be put in a loop in a script to do that.
Best regards,

UnLink Many Contacts at Once

I accidentally linked all of my contacts (500) to one contact. 499 are showing up under the 1. Is there someway I can unlink them all at once instead of having to do them one by one?

Hi,
As far as I know, there is no method to unlink all linked contacts at once, we have to unlink them one by one by clicking the 'X' beside the name.

Am I trying to print too many Contacts at once?

I have over 2000 contacts in my Address Book, and when I try to print I get the "Preparing" window forever. I can break it down to smaller groups, but I'm wondering if there's a limit to how many contacts Address Book can print in one pass. Any ideas?

You really can't. Try downloading them on your computer and sync. Next try restoring from backup.

Delete Multiple Contacts at Once - Exchange Server

I sync only with Exchange Server at work and have private, department & corporate contacts. In some cases one contact can be in all three classifications so I end up with the same contact 3 times on my iphone. Is there a want to mark duplicates for mass removal in lieu of deleting one contact at a time? Or at the very least deleting without having to actually open each contact?

Not on the phone, but you can from a contact management program (such as Outlook) or from icloud.com if you are syncing your contacts with iCloud.

Trying to delete multiple contacts at once on iPhone

I wanted a large (~200) subset of my contacts (within Outlook) to be added to my iPhone, so I used the iTunes Contact Sync to get all of my contacts there (rather than type in 200 with the iPhone keyboard, which leaves something to be desired). Now I have all of my contacts on the iPhone, but only want the 200 or so.
Is there an easy way to select a group or multiple contacts and mark them for deletion? Right now it appears as if I need to go through one by one, which will NOT work for me.
thanks.

There is no such option with the iPhone.

Delete multiple contacts at once

I haven't been able to find a way t delete more than one contact at a time. Deleting them individually is way too long since I have a lot to get rid of. Can someone tell me how to go about this?

Download the free app called My Contacts Backup. The app will allow an easy way to wipe out all of the contacts on the device. This feature is accessed by scrolling all the way down on the main app screen. Note that this does NOT allow you to select multiple contacts to delete but rather only allows you to delete the ENTIRE contacts list. There may be other contacts apps in the App Store that will allow you to select which you want to delete but I have no experience nor can comment on which apps those are.
As you've found, iOS's Contacts app does NOT allow you to bulk-delete contacts. You need to use an additional app.

HT4489 Rather than importing one vcf at a time (which doesn't seem to be working), is there someway of importing many contacts at once, perhaps from a comma-delimited file?

I've just received my iPad, still struggling to get to grips with it, trying to import my contacts from my PC into iCloud.... does anybody have any suggestions on how to bulk-import?
Thanks

Thanks - that's exactly what I'm trying to do!
It's step 2 that I'm having trouble with.
I could replicate the job of something like (for example) JDOM by receiving all events under the root and creating JDOM elements from the contents, but I was hoping to be able to use some library that did this for me (for example: jdom's SAXBuilder class).
The other side effect of this method is that you drive things from a SAX parser and let the document handler do the application work. Unfortuanately re-engineering the application to work from within a DocumentHandler is probably not an option.
But thankyou anyway :)
