    How do I delete all my contacts from my IPad 3. I use snow leopard so I can't use icloud. I just got my first IPad so I am new at this.
    I believe I can use I tunes. I know how to sync my address book into the IPad but can't remember how to delete the ones that are there.

    If you are syncing your iPad with your computer, one way to delete all your contacts might be to connect the iPad to the computer, then in iTunes select the iPad in the sidebar. Once you've done that, go to the Info tab. Uncheck the box for syncing Contacts, then in the lower right, hit Apply. All the Contacts on your iPad will be gone.
    You haven't asked for solutions to use Snow Leopard with iCloud, but there are some solutions for Mail, Address Book and Calendar.

    How do I delete all my CONTACTS IN ONE GO instead of ONE BY ONE and add them again renewed?

    There is an option, under Advanced, on the Info Pane in iTunes to replace all contacts on your phone with what's on your computer for the next sync only. So, edit everything on your computer & use that method.

  • How do i delete all my contacts in mail address book

    how so i delete all my contacts in mail address book, i have 1,042,000 blank contacts.

    In Lion, the user's LIBRARY folder is hidden. So, it's not visible automatically.
    Open Finder.
    At the menu items at the top of your screen, click on GO (where you see Finder, File, Edit, View, Go, Help)
    Next within the GO options, select the 'Go to Folder' option. You will see a window open to enter text.
    Enter ~/Library and click the GO button.
    Now you'll be in your user LIBRARY where you need to be to get to your address book file previously mentioned.
    You want to open the Application Support folder then from inside there open the AddressBook folder. Then you can follow Barney's instructions.

  • How do I delete all the contacts from my iPhone 3?

    How do I delete all the contacts from my old iPhone 3 without having to do each one individually?

    If you've already deleted "everything else"...then plug your phone into a power source and: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings.
    Make sure you plug into a power source first...not your computer...as on an iPhone 3G, this can take some time. When finished, all data will be gone.

  • How do i delete all my contacts in facetime?

    hi i would like to know how do i delete all my contacts in facetime or contacts? do i have to do it 1 by 1 or there is a button to delete all contacts?

    Facetime uses the contacts in the from the Contacts app. Delete all your contacts there and they won't show up in Factime/Phone/Mail. If you want to delete Contacts en-masse, it's probably easier to revert to sync with an empty Contact list / AddressBook from your computer.

    how do i delete all my contacts on icloud

    Go to icloud.com on your computer, sign into your iCloud account, open your contacts, click on a single contact, press control-A to select all contacts, press the Delete key on your keyboard.  Do this for all groups to be sure you get them all.  Note: if any of your devices are signed into this account with contact syncing set to on, this will also delete the contacts from your devices.

  • How do I delete ALL my contacts to start over?

    I want to delete all my contacts on my iPad and start over clean and fresh.  Short of deleting them one at a time, is there a way to do it en masse?

    with your iPad connected to your computer, you manage your contacts through iTunes.  Open the device on the left side of the iTunes page and you'll be able to open contacts and manage them there.  (I'm not near my laptop, but I believe the option you click on is the first one - Information).

  • How do i delete all the music off my iPad mini?

    how do i delete all the music off my iPad mini?

    Hello Tami,
    Thank you for the question.  You can remove all the music stored on your iPad mini from the Usage section in Settings:
    View usage on iOS
    Tap Settings > General > Usage to view the amount of space each app and its content takes on your device.
    Tap an app for more detailed information about its usage.
    Depending on the app, you may also be able to delete some of the app's content, or delete the app and its content.
    After you have tapped on Music in the Usage section, swipe from right to left over “All Music” to get the option to tap Delete. This will remove all the music stored on your iPad mini.
