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 can I delete all the music from my iPhone and reinstall it?

I am trying to delete all the music from my iPhone 5 and reinstall it. The names of some of the albums and the artists did not import correctly from my CDs. I went back into iTunes and made corrections, synced my phone and no changes were made to the music on my phone. And two of the albums (I only have albums, not individual songs) are duplicated on the phone, though they are not in my iTunes library.
I have gone into iTunes, selected the device at the top right corner, selected all the music that showed up in the window - gone to the Edit menu, selected "all" and then "delete." The list of tracks disappears from the device list. I then synced the phone again, and the albums are still on the phone. What am I missing, please? I've even shut the phone down and restarted it, synced it again, but nothing changes.
Help, please?

Follow the instructions here or here; the first set of instructions may require a power source other than a computer's USB port, so you should have one of these before proceeding. Your iPod is a fourth generation model.

How to I delete all the contacts on my iphone?

I sync my iphone with my computer at work and at home. I now have over a thousand contacts and many are duplicates (like the same name 10 times)and I would like to erase all the contacts in one action and resync with only my home computer. My "personal group" is fine but "all contacts" group is where the problem is. I use Outlook for contact management but is there another contact manager application that works better?

If you've still not found the command then,
Connect your ipnhone --> Open iTunes -->
Under Devices on the left bar of iTunes click on your iphone -->
Now click on the Tab named Info -->Scroll down to Advanced Section -->
Click the checkbox next to Contacts under the ehading Replace information on this phone -->
Now click apply or sync.
(Do not forget to make sure that it synchronizes after applying this setting)

How do I put all the contacts from my iPhone to my iPad? In the cloud, when I click contacts it says "The contacts you previously synced with your Mac will be merged with iCould". Is this what I want?

I want my phone contacts on my iPad and to sync anytime I add/delete/edit them....

So I'm still confused on what I need to do....
delete everything from my iPad and then use iCould to sync contacts? Or just use iCould now without deleting everything and iCould will sync them automatically?
The latter should work if you respond Yes to merging the contacts. this will make all of the contact on icloudn AND the contats currently on the iPad available on all devices (merge them into one set of contacts).

How can I delete all the songs from my iPhone 5s.

The software is up to date so its not that. I have also turned off the 'show all' option and there are still tracks left. It won't let me drag the songs sideways to delete, and when I connect the phone on my iTunes and click un-sync it from my music it STILL doesn't remove all of it (despite a message saying this will remove all songs and playlists- rubbish).
Hey Apple your new itunes is awful. Any solutions would be appreciated.

Go to your Settings.
*General
*Usage
then find your music, swipe over it from right to left. "Delete" option will come and and just press.
Ta da.. Just managed myself so I am very happy/proud

How do I delete all the photos from my camera roll?

I have all the photos/videos saved to Dropbox, now how do I delete all the photos from my iPhone & iPad Camera Roll/Photo Stream? I want to delete all the photos/videos at one time, is this possible?

Connect to you're laptop. If you are using Windows:
Click "File Explorer"
Click "Computer"
Click the iPhone
Find "Camera Rolll"
Select all of the photos and delete them.
For Mac:
No idea how macs work but it should be something like the instructions for Windows :-/
As far as Photo Stream, they will automatically be deleted after 30 days and they do not take up iCloud space so you have nothing to worry about.

How can I delete all my music from my iPhone 4s

How can I delete all the music from my iPhone?

I finally went to Apple Care tech support (the best!) for help.
Plug your phone into the computer.
I-Tunes should open.
Toward the top left of the page, click on the small I-Phone icon.
Select Music in the sidebar.
In the right window, your music should appear.
De-select what you don't want, then click Sync.
Voila.
I am running Yosemite 10.1.1

How can I delete all my contacts from the icloud?

I've been working with Apple's sometime, and now I have been forced to use iCloud after MobileMe.
After syncing a couple of devices, some things went quite wrong. My iCloud contacts are now a complete mess. I have lots of duplicates. And over 8000 contacts.
What I want to do is, is do a cleanup, and clear all the iCloud contacts, and import a new 'clean' address book from 1 mac to the icloud, which then in it's turn can be synced to all the devices?
Is dit possible? I've noticed deleting manually is a pain, because the browser doesn't really allow more then 50 contacts or so at a time, before the browser freezes.

Go to your Contacts on your Mac - if more than one pick the most accurate; delete any contacts you don't want. Select all the contacts, and from the File menu choose 'Export...'>'Export vCard'. Save the resultant file safely: it will be your 'master' list.
Now delete all the contacts from whichever device has the most in it. Sync with iCloud. If necessary repeat with different Macs. The result should be that the deletions sync to iCloud and in the end you finish up with empty Contacts lists everywhere.
Now you can import your saved file to one of your Macs. Make sure you import it under 'iCloud' not 'On My Mac'. Then it should propagate iCloud and any other devices. Keep the saved file at least until you are satisfied that all is in order.

How can I delete all the email from a user's account?

I have a user account with a huge amount of mail (around 50K messages) that Apple Mail can't deal with... it constantly hangs and/or crashes whether I use POP or IMAP to try and delete all the mail from the client.
How can I delete all the mail from the mailbox on the server? I don't want to delete the account entirely, I just want to empty everything out of it.
Thanks!

HOW CAN I SYNC ALL MY CONTACTS FROM MY IPHONE TO ICLOUD?

Go to Settings>iCloud, sign in with your Apple ID to create your account if you haven't already done so, turn Contacts on and choose Merge with iCloud when prompted. If you are syncing contacts from an external account (Gmail, Yahoo, exchange, etc.) you will need to take additional steps to add them. Let me know if that's the case.

If your contacts are synced to your computer then they are in the supported app you are syncing with.
When you set up syncing of contacts on your device, which application did you select?

How do I delete all my contacts from my iPod Touch?

I'm giving my iPod touch to my grandson and want to delete all my contacts from my iPod Touch. These have been synched from Mobile Me (.Mac). I've unchecked the synch contact box in the setting section of iTunes, but the contacts do not get deleted. (Also, I want to be careful not to accidentally delete them from my .Mac contact list in the process.) I successfully removed my music and photos in this manner, but the contacts are not being deleted. Advice would be appreciated.

Connect the Touch to iTunes and click the Restore button. After the Touch is erased and the OS is re-loaded, you'll have the option to load your last backup or set it up as a new iPod (which is what you want).
Alternatively, you can simply use the built-in utility. On the Touch go to Settings/Reset/Erase All Content and Settings. That may actually take longer than Restoring though.
