Email contact delete help

How do I delete email contacts that automatically pop-up when I enter the first letter of the name?
Every person that I have emailed from my phone is saved, but I would like to delete several email addresses.

As with the Mail app on a Mac, the iPhone's Mail app stores all email recipients in a list of previous recipients which is separate from the address book or contacts. The email address autofill feature when addressing an message pulls from Contacts and from the list of previous recipients.
Different from the Mail app on a Mac, there is no access to the list of previous recipients with iOS on an iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad to remove a previous recipient from the list, or to add a previous recipient to the address book or contacts that is not already entered - not at the present time anyway.
The only way to purge the list of previous recipients at the present time is by restoring your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup, which will start being re-populated again with every sent message.

  • Email/contact list help

    Hello everyone.
         For those of you that know me, you know that I lost my web guy and inherited this site jackiesbar.com. My changes so far are at jackiesbar.com/Untitled-3.html. Needless to say, I really have no clue what I'm doing. I've been learning what I can in the few hours I have to learn html with Dreamweaver and whatever other tutorials people like Nadia have sent me to. Thank you very much by the way.
    Okay now here's where I'm stuck, forms. I'm trying to create a contact list page. http://www.jackiesbar.com/MailingList.html. This is what I have so far. I put in where I want the info to go. [email protected] Probably not possible, I'm thinking I read somewhere that it has to go to my server and then forwarded from their. But anyhow I'm stuck. It seems once the info is entered it opens whatever email application the person uses and then they just have to reenter the info anyway so what's the point? And most people don't even have email applications now adays, It's mostly web based it seems. All I'd like to do is make something for them to fill out, hit send or submit, I get the info in my email, and they get sent back to the main page. Is this possible? Can someone please help me out with this?
    Thank you
    Beau

    The problem with telling people to search when they ask a question that may have been asked before, is the next time someone does do a search, they get a result telling them to search!  : )
    However, the basic answer is correct - you need a form handling script that will process the form input and output it to your email address. Having said that, there are various ways to implement that depending of other various things.
    As noted above, you do need to know what scripts your web host will support.  But without knowing for sure, PHP is a safe bet as it's pretty universal and runs on all server platforms.
    I don't have any of these scripts to give you at this time, that's because I use and extension to do all my form mail processing.  It's called Universal Email from webassist, works on any server platform and you can get it working with little to no hand coding.  But, it's not free.
    Other than that, the only thing I can offer is how the process works from a functional standpoint.
    1.  The user enters data and the form validates that input before submitting as you already have in place.
    2. The page submits "back to itself" - meaning the same page reloads, but this time it takes the form input and processes it, and sends it to the web server which sends the email.  Part of the script is the recipient of the email.
    3. When that script completes, if redirects to a pre-defined confirmation page, or any other page of your choosing.

  • How do I keep my email contacts from being deleted when I delete a phone contact?

    Please HELP!! I am a new iphone user and I am not understanding all this "icloud" stuff. I have "Contacts" turned off in my phone's icloud settings and on my computer's icloud settings. Every time I add or delete a contact in my phone, the same changes are made in my email contacts. There are certain contacts I need in my email that I don't need in my phone. Any help would be appreciated. Also, if I have "Find My Iphone" turned on, do I still need an app for it to work and is it true that if a person's phone is lost or stolen it can't be tracked if someone turns off  "Find My Iphone" (if a restrictions passcode has not been set up) in the icloud settings? 

    When signed-in on this page, look in the upper right corner for "Inbox", click on it and read the private message that I sent you about making that change.

  • HT5925 I have an iCloud email on my iPhone that is now old as hacked and unused. I can't access anything as it asks for that account info and I don't remember the password etc. How do I delete it and replace it with my new iPad email? ! Help..

    I have an iCloud email and Yahoo email on my iPhone that is now old as hacked and unused. I can't access anything as it asks for that account info and I don't remember the password etc. How do I delete and replace it with my new iPad email? ! Help..

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact AppleCare(or Apple ID Support), upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.

  • TS3899 I cannot select an email to delete on my IPhone 5. When I hit edit then check the email i wish to delete it unchecked itself. Help it is driving me crazy. I tried deleting the email account and re-adding it but it didn't work.

    I cannot select an email to delete on my IPhone 5. When I hit edit then check the email i wish to delete it unchecked itself. Help it is driving me crazy. I tried deleting the email account and re-adding it but it didn't work.

    Sorry if I confused you. Let me try again:
    1) do a full backup your iPhone to a PC using iTunes
    2) go to: settings, general, reset, erase all content and settings.erase phone.
    3) when iPhone starts again choose set as new phone. Do not restore from icloud or iTunes.
    4) once done. Setup your email accounts. When done, verify checked emails do not uncheck themselves.
    That resolved, finish setting up:
    5) go to: settings, icloud, uncheck email, and set other icons as wished. Now setup icloud account.
    6)This step will make all contracts reside in icloud and be available always:  Once icloud account is setup, go back to settings, email contacts. Open each email account and uncheck contacts, but leave mail checked. Then go to the icloud email account and check contacts.

  • Ipad email contacts!? pls help

    so i have this ipad but i gave it to my mom and i deleted my email accounts and everything. i added her account but when she tries to write or send a message to some1 all my email contacts are there even after i deleted my account any help? thanks

    Apps can be re-installed - and if you no longer have them on your computer then you can re-download them for free as long as they are still available in the store and you use the same iTunes account to re-download them : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
    I've seen other people post about wanting to remove incorrect email addresses from Mail and the only suggestion I've seen given is to reset back to factory defaults, and I havn't found any way to remove old or invalid entries either. Whether we will able to do so in a future iOS release I don't know, but you could try leaving feedback for Apple : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

  • I have no "Rescue email" contact in order to reset my security questions and I don't believe I ever answered any security questions when I created my Apple ID for Itunes.  Someone kindly sent me Apple support link but to no avail!  Please Help me!

    I have no "Rescue email" contact in order to reset my security questions!!  I've been trying now for 4 days to contact Apple/Itunes but I only get sent answers from a support team that say they cannot help me with my problem!! 
    The thing is that I can't ever remember answering any security questions and without a rescue email, I'm unable to reset them or even set them for the first time!!
    I can't believe that no-one from Apple/Itunes can help me with this simple problem but unfortunately that is the case - Incredible, isn't it!!!
    Would anyone know how I could solve this problem online???   Because each time I sign into Itunes, the same security questions reappear and reappear and reappear.  In fact I've got to the point where I feel like uninstalling Itunes and downloading an alternative.
    Many thanks

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed, filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

  • I took my daughter's new Iphone 5 to shop and they replaced it with a new one.  Today she logged on to my ICloud account and deleted all my contacts and just kept the ones she wanted.  Can I retrieve my contacts, please help

    My daughter has a new Iphone 5 and we share an ITunes account.  She logged on to my Icloud Account and deleted all my contacts this morning.  Can i restore this as I now only have her friends as my contacts?

    No, data like Email, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Notes are only synced between devices and not included in icloud backups, so unfortunately you won't be able to restore them. Please see also: iCloud storage and backup overview: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12519/

    hi Guys, i mistakenly synced my iphone and all my email contacts appears in my contacts list. its mixed up. can someone please assist me on how to delete the email address ONLY?

    Don't understand your problem... Contacts sync with a compatible address book or cloud service. Contact records can contain names, addresses, phone numbers, e-mail addresses, notes, or any combination of these. If you have records you don't want in your address book that you don't want in your contacts, then segregate them into groups in your address book and only sync the group(s) you want. If you don't want them there at all, then delete them.

    Hey ashvinee,
    Sorry to hear you're having difficulty with your contacts. We have a few articles that could resolve your issue.
    I would start here:

    Recovering iCloud or MobileMe data from iTunes backups for an iOS device
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4108
    This second article applies to you if:
    You want to recover your Contacts, Calendars, and Bookmarks from an iTunes iOS device backup made while using iCloud or MobileMe to update your Contacts, Calendars, and Bookmarks on your iOS device.
    You have created backups in iTunes, and you do not have or are unable to restore from an iCloud Backup. Learn more about how to restore from an iCloud Backup.
    You have lost data from the web, your iOS device, and all other synchronized clients, and you have no other usable backups to recover from.
    Cheers,

  • How do you delete your email contacts off your child's ipod touch?

    My daughter has an iCloud email address for emailing and imessaging. Her device has my Apple ID for iTunes and other Apps so I can control purchases. For some reason, we've seen that when she goes to type in the email address line, it calls up all my email contacts lists. However her Contacts book is virtually empty, so they don't appear on there. How can I stop her device calling up my email addresses (which includes my work email addresses!?)? Will deleting her account and restoring her device to factory settings work, or will it cause all my Contacts data to be deleted?
    Any ideas gratefully received!

    You can use her existing iCloud account. That way her existing contacts in iCloud Contacts will be maintained.
    Restoring the iPod to factory setting/new with Apple ID and iCloud account will get rid of of your contacts unless they are also in her iCloud Contacts.
