How do I delete    all contacts (at one time) from i      phone4

Somehow I have gotten mutilple listing in contacts.  How do I delete all contacts from I phone and start over?

    baprawski,
Is there a particular reason why you want to delete the contacts all at once? The only way you can delete all the contacts all one time would be to wipe the device. This will complete erase all data on the phone including the contacts.
You want to make sure you backup your device uisng the desktop manager. Once you perform the wipe you can then backup your contacts using the desktop manager and just make sure to uncheck the Contacts when backing up so they are not added back to your phone.

    Select a message, hold the move button, deselect the message while still holding the move button.
    A new window appears allowing you to move all messages to the trash.
    Bingo!

  • How do I "delete all" emails at one time ??

    I use POP3 email accounts. There isn't a slick way (that I can see) to select every email from your inbox and delete them. Has anyone come up with a solution for this ??
    And please don't answer with: switch to an imap account.

    Thanks!

    I don't access an antiquated email account type, so I have nothing to complain about.
    If Apple included a delete all at once option for an account's Inbox mailbox, the habitual whiners that did this by accident would come unglued.

  • How do i delete multiple photos at one time from the cameral roll on iPhone?

    I need space on my iPhone4s, and have thousands of photos on the camera roll, which are backed up on my computer, so want to delete them. MUST I delete by choosing them individually and deleting, or is there a way to mass delete them?

    I just had the same problem.  I had 8.6 GB of photos on my camera roll, and my new iPhone only had 16 GB. The error message telling me that I had run out of space kept coming up, and I couldn't take any more pictures. So I followed wjosten's suggestions.

    Launch Image Capture from your applications folder, connect your phone...does Image Capture see the photos? If so, you can use Image Capture to delete them.
    It really only helped to have a mac, and image capture ran perfectly.
    *When you open Image Capture, all I had to do was click on the red warning/danger sign to delete the selected photos.  I have my phone streaming with my Mac, so I didn't discriminate between all my old photos had already been backed up.

    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

  • How do you delete all contacts on iPhone 4S? I have tried to sync my contacts and it has resulted in doubling and now tripling the

    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!

    Unfortunately, there is no easy way.  Delete just as you would any other message that you don't want.  It's probably just as well that there is no universal deletion capability.  I can see many of us committing a major "oops."

  • Each song on my iTunes has a duplicate. How do I delete all duplicates and prevent this from happening again in the future?

    Each song on my iTunes has a duplicate. How do I delete all duplicates and prevent this from happening again in the future?

    After I had updated to Itunes 11 (also on Windows 7), I had the same experience, but I suspect that it was because I accepted a proposal to set up an external media library in order to simplify security backups. An associated result was that I had lost all of my playlists!
    What I did was to restore the entire library off my Ipod, using a very good program called PodToPC (a free download is available) selecting an option to replace all of the stuff in the Itunes library. I use the Ipod Classic simply because it has a large capacity to hold my collection of CD and Vinyls. No way was I going to modify duplicates of 10000 tracks in 750 playslists by hand!  I did have a few residual problems with some of the playlist specs but, after a few hours of work all was restored.
    I hope this is useful.

  • Is there any way to set red to green and then delete all that in one time?

    Hi,experts
    In our delta data load requests include lots of red status record, in the usual way , we must fix the red status to green  and  delete it one by one.
    Is there any good way to set  status red to green and then delete all that in one time instead of one by one?

    hello,
    yes there is ways to delete the requests in one time.
    1)  Note the bad request number
    2)  Go to SE16
    3) Open table RSODSACTREQ. Filter the contents by that request number . There will be entries for that request . Delete that entries.
    OR
    4. Open table RSICCONT. There will be one entry for that request . Delete that entry
    OR
    5. Open Table RSMONICDP. Filter the contents by that request number . There will be 3-4 entries for that request depending on number of data packages in that request .Delete all those entries
    Hope this helps
    Kumkum
