    How to I delete all contact on my iPhone at once? These are contacts ABOVE the contact folder that says, "From My Mac."
    Someone said create a new empty folder on the computer and sync to that -- didn't work .
    Another person said, "Reset information in settings to restore to the default." That would erase ALL of the conetent I have on the phone and I do not want to erase all of the other settings and content from my iPhone -- just the contacts.
    There has to be a better way than gong through and deleting one-by-one.

    Go into Settings...Mail, Calendar and Contacts and siwtch off the Contacts section from the account in question.
    The phone should ask you if you want to keep or erase the contacts stored on you phone.
    However, if they aren't synched to anything and only exist on your iPhone, you'll have to delete them all one by one

    iTunes running, your phone connected, on the Info Pane, scroll down to "Advanced". Put a check in the box labeled "Replace Info on this Phone for Contacts" on next sync. Hit the apply/sync button.

    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 do I delete all contacts in my iphone?

    After trying to sync my secondary iphone with icloud I find that I have an enormorse amount of duplications.  I would like to delete all contacts from the iphone and sync with what I have on my mac.  I would prefer not to do a complete reset on the iphone for this will also create a lot of work.  Does anyone have any thought as to how I might accopmlish this?

    I believe scottishroyalty is mistaken.  As far as I know there are no contacts stored within iTunes.  He must mean that he deleted duplicate contacts within the Contacts app on his computer.
    The issue I have with sberman's solution is that after using that method to delete all contacts on your iPhone, when you turn the Contacts switch back to "ON" in your phone's iCloud settings all the old contacts are put back on your phone and you're right back where you started.
    I posted a very detailed account of my issue here:

    If anyone knows how to delete old/unwated contacts from your iPhone and from iCloud and have them remain deleted, yet continue to have iCloud sync with the iPhone, please follow the above link and let me know. 
    Thanks for any help!

    How do i delete all the contacts in my iphone 4?

    Okay so I've been playing around with it. There are way too many places to turn on and turn off contact syncing!  It's really absurd.  Not only do you have to enable it through system preferences on the iPhone and on the Mac and other devices, but you also have to make sure "Default account" in system prefs is set to "iCloud' and not exchange, and you have to make sure to go to Address Book preferences on the Mac and check "Enable" under "iCloud" and then manually move your contacts to the "iCloud" slot (in address book) from the "On My Mac" slot.  And that's just what I found before I finally got it to work.
    ***?  Anyway, it's working now for me.

  • How do I delete a purchased app from iPhone 6 iOS 8?

    In trying desperately to sync Microsoft Office Outlook contacts for iPhone 6, iOS 8.1.1 with my PC, I noted on the sync page that I needed to download Microsoft Outlook on my phone. I did so, installed it, only to learn that it does not work for "msn email accounts".
    So, now how do I delete this useless app from my iPhone 6?

    Read this: iPhone User Guide - Support - Apple

  • How do I delete photos only from my iPhone on iOS 8?

    A friend of mine has a 16GB iPhone 5s running iOS 8.1.3. She has so many photos on the phone that it won't let her take any more. She wants to delete some to make room on the phone, but wants to keep them in her Photo Stream. I tried deleting some test photos from the "Camera Roll" album but they also get deleted from her Photo Stream. Is there any way to do this? (We have backed here photos up in iPhoto on a Mac, so we do have a copy of everything.) As a temporary work-around, we deleted a few hundred photos from the "Recently Deleted" album, but I expect she'll hit the problem again soon.

    Hi, An option would be iCloud Photo Library (Beta), where she would have to pay for a storage plan e.g. 0.99$ per month for 20 GB. When using iCloud Photo Library she could activate in Settings > iCloud Photos to "Optimize iPhone Storage" to reduce the resolution of all of her photos on her device and only keep the high resolution in the cloud. With this solution she would continue to have all the photos still with her, but would also save some storage space.
    Another option would be something like Dropbox in combination with Dropbox's Carousel app. With Dropbox/Carousel she could pretty much do the same, but she would als have to pay for it as soon as she runs out of free space.
    The third option would be Google+ what you also could only use for backing up photos (no sharing required). In Google+ you could activate change the setting to upload photos with a max. resolution of 2048 px. With this setting enabled she could upload as much photos as she wants and don't have to pay for it, because it wouldn't count against her Google account storage capacity.
    With kind regards,
    David

    How do you delete all contacts on iPhone 4S? I have tried to sync and end up w/duplicates and now triplicates. 4,000 contacts have now turned into 12,000 contacts!! I "upgraded" to Lion and hate it - it was so much easier before. I managed to delete on MacBook (to start from scratch there), but cannot delete from iphone or ipad. I am so frustrated! Please help

    Hi Cynthia!  If you are syncing from something like Gmail you can go into the iPhones Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>(account you are syncing)> and turn off contacts. It will ask you if you want to delete them from your phone - just click delete.  Exit Settings and turn phone off by power button (not all the way OFF).  Then re-open Settings>mail, Contacts, Calendars>(account you are syncing)> and turn Contacts back on - This is where you need to be careful - When you turn contacts back on you will be prompted to delete or save the contacts already on your phone. CLICK DELETE.  You should now have only your synced contacts on your phone!  Hope it helps!
