How do I clean up contact info

New to Mac. How do you clean up contact info that doesn't show up in contacts? When I start an email and type a few letters I get choices that do not exhist in my address book. An example is If I type an email to my spouse after I type a couple of letters in the first name I get choices that are years old and don't exhist any longer. I go to contacts and can't find these.
How do I find these so I can clean them out?

Wow. Thanks, You saved me much time and frustration!!

HT4859 how to restore backed up contact info

When I downloaded and installed iOS 6, I lost 3/4's of my contact info. How do I retrieve this much needed info?

Log into icloud.com using a computer's browser and look at the contacts page. If only 3/4's of the contacts are there as well, then the remaining ones were not part of icloud. I suspect that your device had some contacts in the "icloud" section and others in the "On my iPhone" (or whatever device you are using). Those in the latter section were probably not in a backup and thus did not return.
If you back up to icloud, just know that icloud contacts (or any of the Apple data like calendars, reminders, etc.) are not part of a backup, since they are already in icloud's databases. If you did have the missing contacts on a computer, then if not there, look for them in a backup of the computer, For example, if using a mac, check in Time Machine.

How to automatically import SU01 contact info to Business Partner of user

Hello SAP Experts,
I just want to ask if there is a program I can use wherein the SU01 contact information of our users will be imported to their Business Partner relationship. We have more than 1000 users and we do not have the luxury of time to update them one by one.
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Romeo

Hello Laurent,
Thank you for you reply. The SU01 contact info are the e-mail address, phone numbers, etc. that are located in the first tab in SU01.
The FM you provided can be helpful but is there a way wherein we could update more than 1 user's info using a program or FM? Because we are dealing with a lot of users.
Thank you in advance
Regards,
Romeo

How can I sincronize the info from the icloud to my iphone? My iphone was stolen but as they could never set it up thanks to the IOS 7 I paid a small amount of money and got it back.

I have 3 devices but one is my husbands phone. How do I keep his contact info separate from mine?

I have an iPad Air and 2 iPhones. One iPhone is my husbands with his own set of contacts. But now the cloud puts his contacts on my phone and iPad. How can I stop that?

Use different iCloud accounts or turn off Contacts in Settings > iCloud.

Preparing MacBook for charity donation, how do I clean all personal info?

I am prepping my MacBook as a charity donation and want to remove all personal files from it.
Ideally the new owner has a new out of box experience.
I do not have a bootable OS CD.
How can I ensure all my personal information is removed from the system?
System Info:
MacBook3,1
Intel Core 2 Duo, 2.2GHz, 4M L2 Cache, 2GB 800MHz
Mac OS X 10.5.8 (9L30)
Appreciate any help on this front.
Thank you

To prepare it for sale you should follow these instructions:
What to do before selling or giving away your Mac
Some of the following will not be applicable to your version of OS X. Disregard references that don't apply.
In addition to the above:
If you enabled FileVault, disable it in System Preferences > Security & Privacy.
"Deauthorize" your iTunes account. Same for Audible if you have one.
System Preferences > iCloud > de-select "Back to My Mac" and "Find my Mac".
Sign out of iCloud. Select "Delete from Mac" when it appears.
Then:
Start your Mac with its original System Installation DVD (if your Mac shipped with one) or OS X Recovery (if it didn’t).
Remove any Open Firmware password if you created one: select Firmware Password Utility from the Utilities menu and remove it.
Select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
Remove any partitions you may have created.
Select the Mac's hard disk icon, then select the "Erase" tab.
Select the "Security Options" button and erase the disk.
The more "securely" you erase the disk, the longer it will take. The fastest method is sufficient since all but the most expensive techniques and equipment will be able to recover securely erased data.
When it finishes, quit Disk Utility.
Select Install Mac OS X from the Utilities menu. Do not create any user accounts.
When it finishes, shut down the computer.
If you want to install the bundled apps that were included with your Mac, restart by using your Applications DVD and install the bundled apps.
Don't forget to include any DVDs that came with your iMac, your AppleCare certificate if you bought it, printed documentation, even the box if you still have it.
Execute a bill of sale showing the Mac's serial number.
Once no longer in your possession, remove the Mac from your devices in My Support Profile.
Ideally the new owner has a new out of box experience.
I do not have a bootable OS CD.
You will require one to accomplish the above, and its new owner will need it for a variety of reasons. Obtain a replacement from Apple. The cost is reasonable ($25 or so). You will require the MacBook's serial number: MacBook: How to find the serial number

I use my iphone when I started itunes. Now I pluged my wifes phone in and it erased everything. How can I get my contact info to hers?

how can I plug my wifes phone puged into itunes when mine seems like the primary?

iCloud never stored music. That is what the iTunes Match service is for.
The only way to get back non-iTunes-purchased music is to import them to your new iTunes library however you did it on your old computer.

How do I transfer my contact info from my email on the computer to my Ipad?

How do I transfer my conatcts from my computer to my Ipad? I need simple instructions as I am a neophyte.

Connect your iPad to your computer with iTunes. Highlight the iPad on the pane on the left side. Then choose the Apps tab. Your choices will appear different than mine because I have a Mac. Also, my sync box is not checked because I use iCloud and a checked box here will give me duplicates.

I have an iphone 4s which I recently updated to iOS 7.0.4. Now my contacts no longer show addresses or notes, although the phone numbers are displayed. All the correct information is still in iCloud, but how do I get the Contacts folder to show all info?

Since I updated to iOS 7.0.4 on my iphone 4S, I can no longer see addresses or notes in my contacts on my phone. The information still exists in iCloud online. How do I get full contact info onto my phone?
There is another problem which may be related. My desktop computer at work is running Windows 7, and I was recently upgraded to Office 2013. Outlook is not showing contacts on my computer any more, just in iCloud. However, when in iCloud, it does included addresses and notes, so I don't think this is caused by the same error as the iphone problem,
I have refreshed, reinstalled and rebooted, to no avail.

I would say that you would want to look into the "Exchange Mode" for GMail. That would allow your iPhone to sync calendars, contacts and email with GMail just fine. Doing the same with your outlook should also then sync those same with your PC using Outlook. I've done teh iPhone side of this, but I since I don't run Lookout for my email client, I'm not sure how that will work on the PC side.

Backup for contact info on Pre

My Palm pda allowed me to backup calendar and contact information onto my computer. Although I understand that my calendar is backed-up through Google Calendar, I don't know how to backup all the contact info on my phone.

Hello and welcome to the forums;
Google also can back up your contact information the same way it backs up your calendar. In the Contacts app under Preferences and Accounts, set Google as your Default Account, and every future contact you enter will be backed up to google, and you can see all of those contact records on your device as well as in Gmail.
As for information that is currently in your phone, if you did not have google as the default account, those contacts are stored to the Palm Profile. If you want to copy that information to google, for each contact you can tap Send Contact > Send via Email and that will create a .VCF file for that contact that can then be imported into google. This is currently an individual process, and would need to be repeated for each contact to be copied.
If you're interested in a desktop solution for backing up your information such as available on former PDA's, check out our website here which details some of the 3rd party options available.
Hope this helps,

I inadvertinly removed my infocontact information from my wikes "Contacts" App. The contact app still works in my iPad and both of our iPhones..
How can I restore the contact info in her Contact app??

Have you tried syncing them across iCloud? There is a nice tutorial here: http://www.gottabemobile.com/2011/10/18/how-to-sync-email-contacts-and-calendar- with-icloud/

How do I retrieve my contacts after my phone froze?

Today I was unable to access my Messages App, therefore switched phone off, waited a while and turned it back on, only to find it upon turning it back on, all my contacts had beeen deleted. Has anyone else experienced this problem with the iPhone 4S? As I was not expecting this to happen, I have not backed up contacts or other data via iTunes or iCloud. However, upon viewing other responses it would appear iCloud does not store your contact information or any other information for that matter.
How can I retrieve my contact info without it being stored anywhere? Is it best to take to an Apple Outlet??
Cheers

You should have been syncing your contacts with your computer from the very beginning. Did you fail to do this?

HT4906 I want to download the new updates I think to the 10.9 but our mac was given to us and when it comes to the last page it asks for the user name and password but this mac was wiped clean. How do I find out this info so I can get iPhoto?

I want to download the new updates I think to the 10.9 but our mac was given to us and when it comes to the last page it asks for the user name and password but this mac was wiped clean. How do I find out this info so I can get iPhoto? To be honest I'm not even sure what type of Mac I have and don't know how to find out what kind it is
I'd also like to make address labels and don't know where to find that either

You would make address lables with the Contacts app.
If you don't have the user name and password used to set up the machine then you need to purchase the apps for yourself.
