How can I delete contacts on my iPhone without having to go into each one to do it?

I delete contacts on my iPhone without having to go into each one to do it?

Yeah you can only do all with itunes.
On the phone itself you can only delete one at a time.
Go to the contact, choose edit, scroll down, at the bottom is a delete option.

  • For an iCloud and/or Windstream email account, how can I delete emails across multiple devices, without having to go to each device?

    I have a friend with an iCloud email account and Windstream account on both her iPad and iPhone... She's saying that when she deletes an email from one device, it doesn't delete it from the other automatically... She's using both emails through the "Mail, Contacts and Calendars" settings under the "Settings" menu; not through apps...  I've had her check both of her email account settings to make sure that the settings were consistent... I've never had this issue with Exchange or Gmail, and I don't use the iCloud email account, so I'm a little unfamiliar with what else to look at... Can someone offer some advice, please?
    Thank you for your help!

    IMAP is the mail protocol that allows you to delete a message one place and have it delete everywhere else. iCloud uses IMAP, so it should be working. If the messages never delete, then something may be incorrect in the settings. The easiest thing to do with iCloud is to logout of the account on every device, and then login again. (Another common problem with iCloud email is people often have two Apple IDs, and thus may have two iCloud email accounts. If you get confused about which one you're using, you may think you've deleted email when you actually haven't.)
    If the iCloud messages do ultimately delete across all devices, then it could be that some devices aren't set to "Push" but are instead set to "Fetch" the newest info from the server. Fetch can be set to as long as an hour between check-ins.
    The same holds true for Windstream if she's using an IMAP account there, too. If it's a POP account, then deleting a message one place will never delete it anywhere else—that's the way POP works.

  • How can i delete app data on iPhone without uninstalling the app?

    How can i delete app data on iPhone 4 without removing the application.     Facebook application size -57mb. And its app data is 70mb  

    This is ridiculous!
    Imagine this scenario, can't be that unlikely:
    I'm going away on holiday, or away on work for a while, and I'm not taking the computer to which I sync my phone. Before I leave I fill my iPhone up with music to take with me. While I'm travelling I want to install a new app, but I don't have space. I look to delete content from the phone - I can delete podcasts but not music. Unfortunately I don't have enough podcasts to free up space that way. So I don't purchase the app I wanted.
    This is bad for:
    1. The user (me)
    2. The app developer - lost download.
    3. Apple - they lose their cut of the app download, and royally p#@* off a user.
    Can someone explain to me why this limitation is good for anyone?!

  • Help! How can I delete mail on my iPhone without it deleting on my Mac?

    hey everybody!
    so, i used to be able to delete e-mails on my iphone (through my gmail account) without having them get deleted from my inbox on my mac's mail app. however, lately, this is not the case. i would like to be able to delete certain messages so that they won't have to stay on my phone but i still need them on my mac.
    does anyone have any solutions to this problem?
    thanks!

    I need the same answer applicable to Microsoft Exchange on a pc. When deleting email from the iphone it is deleting it from everywhere. I need it to stay on the laptop so that the laptop "controls". I just switched over from a blackberry and there was a email control function where you could tell the berry to defer to the laptop when deleting.
    I also having an issue in that my "sent" emails are not appearing on the laptop - anywhere. I cannot find a location to alter this.
    Please advise and thank you.

  • How can I see answers in a field without having to click in each field?

    We have users typing in their answers to questions, and emailing it to us. But in order for us to be able to view their answers, we have to click in each field, and then the other answers disappear again. I saw this addresssed in 2010, but I am wondering if there has been a fix to this? What is the easiest way to be able to view the whole document with answers?  We have MANY to review.
    Thank you so much!

    It could be that theu users are using Mac Preview. That is the most common cause of this. If that's the case, the fix is to be sure users are using Adobe Reader to fill in the form. Either that or Apple needs to fix Preview so it works with Adobe PDF forms...

  • How Can I sync contacts FROM my iPhone TO my AOL E-mail?

    How can I sync contacts FROM my iPhone TO my AOL E-mail? In other words, I want to keep all of my iPhone contact information intact and make AOL "mirror" it (and not wipe it out when I sync thru iTunes).

    The iPhone supports syncing contacts with Outlook 2003 or 2007, or with Windows Contacts with Windows, and with the Address Book or with the Entourage address book on a Mac.
    If you aren't currently using one of the supported applications on your computer for contact info - the supported address book application on your computer is empty, before syncing contacts enter one contact in the supported application on your computer. Make this contact up if needed, which can be deleted later. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data with the supported application on your computer, which you want to select.
    After this, you can export the contacts from the supported application on your computer that is supported for import by your AOL online address book - if AOL includes such an option.

  • How can I transfer contacts from an iPhone to a new iPad with another Apple-ID?

    How can I transfer contacts from my iPhone to a new iPad with another Apple-ID?

    You can't. Not directly anyway. You might be able to import them to your computer and then sync them to the iPad but there is no way to transfer them over the air or by connecting the two devices with a cable.
    I know absolutely nothing about apps like this, but I did a very quick Google search and found this.

  • HT201302 how can i delete photos from my iphone after uploading in Iphoto even if i say not to keep on phone

    how can i delete photos from my iphone after uploading in Iphoto even if i say not to keep on phone

    Hello paolo@spring,
    Just as photos that were taken more than 30 days ago remain on your MacBook Air, so will photos that are deleted from your iPhone.
    Photos in My Photo Stream are saved on the iCloud server for 30 days.
    Because your Mac and PC have more storage than your iOS devices, you can choose to download all of your My Photo Stream photos automatically.
    In iPhoto or Aperture preferences on your Mac, select Photos (or Photo Stream) > My Photo Stream > Automatic Import. All of your photo stream photos will import into your Events, Projects, Photos, Faces, and Places folders in iPhoto or Aperture.
