How can I delete multiple contacts quickly? I want to clean up my contacts and not take forever to do it.

I would like to clean up my contacts - probably remove 10 - 20% of them. Is there an easy way to do this? Or do I need to go into every one and hit delete contact?

I've split up my iPhoto library and now I want to clean up (as iPhot crashes around every 5 minutes and I suspect that's due to too many photos in the library).
Julia,
crashes are rarely caused by too many photos - I have never seen that happen, unless your hard drive has not enough space left for the operating system to work.
The usual causes for crashes are rather inconsistencies in your iPhoto library, importing unreadable or  incompatible media (videos, photos), installing incompatible software.
So you'd better find out, what is causing the crashes in this case. Did you install new software, before the trouble started? Or import new photos or videos? Move your iPhoto library to a different location? Run "CleanMyMac" or something similar?
But to answer your question:
Therefore, I want to delete photos from the default library. Of course, I do get a security pop up that reminds me some of my photos have been uploaded to flickr and that these will be deleted as well when I delete the photo from my library.
Is there any way to avoid this?
Sign out of your Flickr account in iPhoto's preferences, before you delete the photos from your main library. Then the uploaded Flickr albums should be safe.
Regards
Léonie
Select your Flickr account and press the minus sign to disable it.

    Shift-click the photos or Ctrl-click them to select them, then right-click one of them and choose Delete from Catalog. They will all go together.

  • TS3899 How can i delete multiple e-mails from my iphone 4S. There are indicated more than 1500 e., but when i open the file there is indicated: no e-mail.

    How can i delete multiple e.mails from my iPhone 4 S. ? It shows the presence of more than 1500 e-mails. But when I try to open the account it shows that there a no e-mails. So i cannot delete them.

    I would disconnect the email on your phone...
    And reconnect again and if it still does that go on an actual computer, log on and delete the mails with ease...
    Hope this helps..it may just need to be refreshed...

  • How can I delete multiple emails on my Samsung Stratosphere at once?

    How can I delete multiple emails on my Samsung Stratosphere at once? I use AOL and when I delete the emails off of my computer, they do not delete from my phone. So I have hundreds of unwanted messages showing on my phone but I have not found an option to delete all messages, only individually. I would also like to be able to clear the messages from my phone without them deleting from my computer. This was super easy with my blackberry and I have not found anything similar on this phone.

    When I go to the trash folder on my Stratosphere, I can check individual emails and then hit "Menu" and "Delete", but if I hit the "Menu" button before selecting any e-mails, then I see the "Delete all" button, but it's greyed out, so I cannot select it.  There's also a "Restore All" button next to the "Delete all" button, and it's also greyed out.  So, currently the only way I can delete the 100's of e-mails in my trash is to put a check mark next to each one, which is painful.  Anybody else have this problem or know of a solution?

    You'll need to contact the previous owner to get them to remove the account.
    There is no way to bypass this security feature. If you can't contact the previous owner you have wasted your money and have a phone you'll never be able to use.

  • How can I delete my Icloud account when I don't know the password and no longer have the email address associated with it?

    How can I delete my Icloud account when I don't know the password and no longer have the email address associated with it?
    You need your password to delete it and I need the email address to reset the password.  I feel like I'm going in circles!!!  Please help!!!

    Go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address (you shouldn't need to verify the old account).  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • How can I delete multiple copies (600 ) of the same contact that ended up on my iPhone after backing it up on iTunes?

    In syncing my iPhone 3GS on iTunes, I now have many copies of the same contact -over 1,000 in one case-on my iPhone.  How can I delete these multiple copies without doing it one by one on my iPhone and how can I prevent it from happening again?  I have Outlook Contacts and MSN contacts -- iTunes is supposed to be syncing to my Outlook contacts, but I don't have multiple copies of any of my contacts there.  HELP!  Thanks!

    The cause was probably a USB glitch during a sync or when copying. The music resides on the phone in separate files. A master file contains a database with an index to the music, an entry for each track and a "pointer" to the file containing the track. Somehow the index got corrupted with duplicate entries. It's likely that the music itself wasn't duplicated, but some tracks had more than one entry in the database. I've seen this happen when syncing (rather than manually managing) also. In my case deleting the track from the Music tab in iTunes, syncing, then adding it back fixed it.
    A related problem I've seen is an album may be split, with some tracks in each of 2 or more album entries in the listing. Fixed the same way.

  • I synced with iMac itunes and got many more contacts than I want on the iPhone. How can I delete multiple contacts rather than having to do so one at a time?

    I synced my iPhone with itunes and iMac and got many more contacts than I wanted on my iPhone. How can I delete quite a few of them at one time as opposed to deleting one at a time?

    iTunes does not handle the import of photos/videos from the iPhone's Camera Roll.
    If this is not the computer you sync your iPhone with, you should have been provided a warning message that your iPhone is associated with an iTunes library on another computer and when trying to transfer any iTunes content from a different computer, a warning message is provided indicating that all iTunes content on the iPhone will be erased first.
    When connecting an iPhone to iTunes on another computer, none of the options under the various tabs for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes are selected automatically. This means you had to select Sync Contacts under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes on your wife's computer.
    Assuming you are syncing contacts with a supported address book app on your computer, connect your iPhone to Tunes on your computer and without syncing, under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences below the Advanced section, select Contacts for replace info on this iPhone followed by a sync.
    For importing photos/videos from the Camera Roll which can be done with a computer that is not used for syncing the iPhone since syncing with iTunes is not involved.

  • How can I delete multiple playlists at one time?

    For some reason I have hundreds of random playlists? How can I delete them all at once, is it possible?

    Here are two ways I would try:
    You can hold down your shift key while selecting playlists. This allows you to select multiple items. However, it does not allow you to skip over a playlist. All contiguous lists will be selected using this method. Once you have all the playlists selected, right click on the selection and choose delete.
    If method one won't work because you want to pick and choose lists to delete, I'd make a folder and pull all of the lists I don't want into this folder. Then you can delete the whole folder. Once you have all of the playlists you no longer want in the folder, just right click on the folder and choose delete.
