Deleting "Recently contacted" and deleting my curr...

Does anybody know how i can delete someone i recently contacted. He always appear in the list.
In addition, how can i deactivate my account and create another one?

JZarb,
     This problem is considered to be a glitch in the software. YOur best option, if you still need advice or if it ever happens again, is to plug the iPhone into your computer, sync it with iTunes, and then restore the device. Hopefully you can save all the correct contacts that are left. Then, redownload all of your information to your iPhone and the problem shouldnt transpire again!
Best,

  • ITunes 11 deleted recent contacts and photos

    I recently got an iPhone 5. Downloaded iTunes 11 and tried to sync my new phone. Once done I looked at my phone to find that all new contacts since October 2012 had been deleted along with any texts I had received and all the photos I had taken on my new phone. Instead I now have all my old photos and apps from my old phone. But nothing newer than October 2012. How can I get the new stuff back on my phone?

    unless you have made a newer back up, then you wont be able to get it back.
    You took the old back up and restored it on your phone and erased all your content and replaced it

  • 6500c SMS recent contacts - refresh

    My mom has a 6500c using S40. She is found of the SMS feature to use a recent contact rather than scroll trough the entire contact list. She only has one problem. A contact change phone number and even though she has updated the contact in the Contact Application the old phone number still shows up along with the new phone number.
    Is there a way to refresh the cached recent contacts and their phone numbers?

    remove the old contact and re-enter the new one
    or try
    1. Press Menu
    2. Open My Files
    3. Open Organiser
    4. Select "Log"
    5. Scroll down and look for "Msg. recipients"
    6. Delete contact names you want to delete on "recently used"

  • Can you turn off recent contacts on ios 8?

    can you turn off the multi tasking recent contacts and favorite contacts?

    Yes you can turn that off:
    Set Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Contacts - Show in App Switcher to Off

  • With recent calls , is it possible to save certain calls without saving them to contacts and delete the ones i dont want?

    My question is ,
    with the recent calls is the a way to save certain calls without saving them as contacts, and delete the others that i dont need?    I am a truck driver and i  need only certain calls during the day and if i could delete only the ones that arent needed for the day and keep the others that would make the day run smoother.  Each is different and when the day is finished then i would delete the ones i needed for the day and start all over again.   Is this possible?

    I think you would have to reinstall the keys seeing that if you format the computer all the data is gone. Even though you backed up that data you never know what can happen when you try to reinstall certain apps. Not sure what method you can go by, you should run a diagnostics test to see how you computer is doing internally.
    Goodluck

  • My email address was recently hacked and they have changed all my passwords. Is there a way i can delete an ICloud account on my phone, mac and Ipad without putting the password in as i do not know this?

    Hi
    My outlook account was recently hacked and they have changed my passwords, secret questions and my information meaning i am unable to access this account. I have the hacked account set up on icloud for all of three apple devices. I have been reading online that to change or delete an account i need to login, or turn find my iphone off which i cannot do without the password!
    I would be really grateful if anyone knew a way i could sort this out to fully delete the old icould account.
    Thanks very much!

    Contact the Apple account security team for your country and request assistance: Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security.  If you can prove your identity to them, they can reset the password and help you regain control of the account.

  • I had two numbers for one of my contacts and I deleted one because it's no longer in use. But why does it appear when I type in the name (when starting a new message) with the word "other" next to it?

    And how do it delete that "other" number entirely from my phone? I've tried deleteing the contact and adding it in again, but it still appears
    Also, on an unrelated note, my phone tends to turn off at 10-7 percent. How can I fix this so it turns off after 1 percent? (the phone doesn't turn on after it turns off by itself unless you charge it)

    1. Don't wait until your phone completely discharges before charging the battery. To help with the battery percentage reset your phone. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
    2. The phone remembers recently used items in addition to stored items. So the contact you want to delete is presently in the recently used category. If that phone number is not used it will eventually disappear from your phone. Patience IDs the key here.

  • My phone seems to delete contacts and info when the battery gets low, is there a solution to this issue?!

    After the most recent update, I've noticed a couple MAJOR changes! 1) The battery life can barely make it through half the day. I have to keep charging it no matter how little I use it. I've even turned off apps running in the background, it didn't make much difference. And 2) When the battery gets really low, at the 10% mark, it deletes contacts and settings. I've lost so many contacts all of the sudden and I constantly have to restore my iPhone. It's so frustrating! And when the battery gets low, it also deletes my e-mail account to receive e-mails on the phone. I'm tired of having to constantly reset my phone carry a charger with me, it's not reliable any longer and I'm not sure why. Help??

    Here is some information on the applecare +:
    http://www.apple.com/support/products/iphone.html
    It appears that you have to buy the applecare within 30 days of buying your phone - you said that your phone warranty is almost over, so when did you buy it??? That could be the explanation for the error.

  • Iphone deleted all my contacts and when i plugged it in automatic backup ran and wiped all contacts

    Hi All,
    Yesterday I noticed that all my contacts were deleted from my iphone 3. I hadn't plugged it in to a computer, it had been on wi-fi earlier but I hadn't accessed itunes or anything. Everything else (text messages, music, apps) was fine. When I arrived home and plugged it into my computer to access the back-up, automatic back-up ran and backed-up my contact-less iphone. I tried restoring from back-up - no dice.
    How can I access older back-ups with my contacts and restore them to my phone? Why were my contacts erased and how can I stop it from happening again?
    Thanks for your help!

    Several of my friends also had this problem recently. Wondering if you use LINE or FB often on your phone?

    This is what is backed up
    iTunes will back up the following information
    Contacts* and Contact Favorites (regularly sync contacts to a computer or cloud service such as iCloud to back them up).
    App Store Application data including in-app purchases (except the Application itself, its tmp and Caches folder).
    Application settings, preferences, and data, including documents.
    Autofill for webpages.

    Calendar accounts.

    Note: For devices without a camera, Camera Roll is called Saved Photos.
    Game Center account.
    Home screen arrangement.
    In-app purchases.
    Keychain (this includes email account passwords, Wi-Fi passwords, and passwords you enter into websites and some other applications. If you encrypt the backup with iOS 4 and later, you can transfer the keychain information to the new device. With an unencrypted backup, you can restore the keychain only to the same iOS device. If you are restoring to a new device with an unencrypted backup, you will need to enter these passwords again.)
    List of External Sync Sources (MobileMe, Exchange ActiveSync).
    Location service preferences for apps and websites you have allowed to use your location.
    Mail accounts (mail messages are not backed up).
    Installed Profiles. When restoring a backup to a different device, installed configuration profiles are not restored (such as accounts, restrictions, or anything which can be specified through an installed profile.) Any accounts or settings that are not associated with an installed profile will still be restored.
    Map bookmarks, recent searches, and the current location displayed in Maps.
    Microsoft Exchange account configurations.

    Messages (iMessage and carrier SMS or MMS pictures and videos).
    Trusted hosts that have certificates that cannot be verified.
    Voice memos.
    Voicemail token. (This is not the voicemail password, but is used for validation when connecting. This is only restored to a phone with the same phone number on the SIM card).
    Wallpapers.
    Web clips.
    YouTube bookmarks and history.
    * Your contacts are part of the backup to preserve recent calls and favorites lists. Back up your contacts to a supported personal information manager (PIM), iCloud, or another cloud-based service to avoid any potential contact data loss.
    You will see that contacts are backed up

    Have you recently added your Facebook credentials? If you haven't synced with your PC recently, this is likely the reason.

  • Deleting Contacts and Clearing iPhone Space

    Hi,
    I recently downloaded a facebook sync app for my contacts and since my iphone has become overrun with contacts (most of which don't even have a phone number but rather an email or website) and my iphone's memory is totally full. There are 15 apps that need to update and there is no room for them to do so. I want to delete most of these, but keep my previous contacts.
    Also, is there any way to free up space on my phone in general? I have deleted most of my images, music, etc, but yet it still almost always says my memory is full (and this is speaking of before downloading this app.)
    Thank you,
    Jake

    What is taking up the space on the iphone.
    Look at the capacity bar in itunes.

    My 16gb iPhone 4S keep tell me that my storage is almost full and I don't have enough space for any upgrades. I don't have any music or videos on my phone. I deleted all old emails, texts, contacts and apps but still nothing. When I check my settings, I noticed that my Instagram is at 732mb and it keeps rising. Now it's at 814mb. Please help!!!!!

    What is the precise wording of the message that is occurring?
    Are  you attempting to update via iTunes on a computer or over the air on the device?
    How much free space is actually on the device?
    If updating via iTunes on the computer, how much free space on the computer?

    thank you so much!!!!
    Well, yeah.  You want to create separate accounts for each of you, using individual Apple IDs.  I know mothers and daughters like to share clothes, shoes, handbags, etc. but don't share Apple IDs.
