How do I delete contacts on my iPad with iOS 7

I have seen a lot of stuff that doesn't work. I can't even delete my entire list of contacts and start over. I want these contacts out of my iPad how do I do that.

Try the following free app call My Contacts Backup (search the App Store)
It will gather your contacts, put them into either vCard format or CSV format. It will then allow you to email the vCard or CSV file to yourself.
After doing so, the app also has the ability to "Remove all contacts" from the device. This is accessible from the main screen, pressing the Settings button on the lower-right, then scrolling down to the "Remove all contacts" button (be sure you're ready to do this).
I've used this feature before in the past and it worked great. Restoring your contacts is easy...just open the email that you sent to yourself and tap on the attachment.
Try it out...first backup your contacts with the app and email them to yourself, delete all contacts using the app, then restore them with the app. It may resolve your issue and knock your contacts list back into shape. If not, it should at least wipe out all your contacts and start over again.
EDIT: If you need to, you can also use some type of contacts/vCard/CSV editor to be used with your PC (search for one on Google) to manually go into the vCard or CSV file and manually remove the unwanted contact(s).

  • How do I delete photos from my iPad using iOS 8

    how di I delete photos from my iPad using iOS 8?

    I don't know why the TV Show Tab would be unresponsive. Try force closing the Videos App, then reset the iPad and try again.
    In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    Something else address is why you don't see the videos in the settings, but if you can't get into the TV section of the Videos app, it really doesn't matter yet. Just to be sure, go to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Show All>Videos>OFF. Make sure that is set to OFF.

  • How to sync just selected songs to iPad with iOS 5?

    I have a lot of music in my iTunes account, acquired from CDs, the iTunes store, etc. and I don't listen to all of it regularly (I like to change it up from time to time); however, I like having it saved digitally on my computer; but, i don't want it all on my iPad or iPhone all the time, I only want the songs selected under my music list to be synced to my device. 
    My iPad is using iOS 5, my iPhone is using iOS 4.3.5. 
    Under 4.3.5, when I select "Entire Music Library" under Sync Music in iTunes, it only adds the seleceted sonds to my iPhone.  However, under iOS 5, it wants to add everything to my iPad which is just too much. 
    So, how do I get just the selected songs in my library to upload to my device using iOS 5?

    I'm currently using a play list but it is not the same as in iOS 4.  The options will not work how I want either as it doesn't let me choose just the songs I want (which would be cumbersome but would work); I either have to select the artist (getting all of their songs loaded whether I want them or not), genres, playlists, or albums.  I really only want certain songs at a time; even with the playlist seleceted and synced, albums & songs not in that playlist are still showing up in my Music app on the iPad.  This is part of the reason I haven't updated my iPhone to iOS 5, I like the convienence of the iPod app in iOS 4 (which was removed in iOS 5 unfortunately) and uploading my entire library would be more than my iPhone has room. 
    EDIT:
    Demo, that was it; I completely forgot that was there.  I was so focused on the music section that I forgot about the features under Summary.  Thanks.

    Hi mth3333,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    You can sync the contacts on your iPad with your computer. See this article for the steps:
    iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1296
    Contacts
    To sync contacts with your computer, choose "Sync Contacts with" within iTunes for Windows, or "Sync Address Book Contacts" on your Mac.
    You can sync your contacts with:
    Microsoft Outlook 2003, Microsoft Outlook 2007, Microsoft Outlook 2010 (Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7)
    Windows Address Book (Windows XP)
    Windows Contacts (Windows Vista / Windows 7)
    Address Book (Mac OS X)
    Microsoft Entourage 2004, Microsoft Entourage 2008, or Microsoft Outlook 2011 for Mac
    Note: If using Microsoft Entourage, use Microsoft Entourage 2008 12.1.2 or later if syncing with Mac OS X v10.6 or later. If you would like to sync data on your Mac with Entourage, enable syncing between Entourage and Address Book.
    Notes:
    When syncing contacts, you can choose to sync all of your contacts or only selected groups. The option to sync selected items may not show up until after the first sync.
    You can select a group of contacts to which all new contacts created on your iOS device will be added.
    Regards,
    Jeremy

    How can I delete music from my iPad Air other than one song at a time? I would like to delete a few albums.  I am still on iOS 7.

    You can either sync the iPhone and iPad to a computer that has your music on it and make sure the U2 album is not on the computer. Or you can delete all of the music from both devices (settings > general > usage > manage storage > music. Then redownload your music from your purchase history on the iTunes store
    Also the U2 album is attached to your apple id. To remove it, you will need to go here ---> https://itunes.com/soi-remove

  • Help! how do I delete contacts that are not on my contact list? when I start a new message you can still get the number when you tap in the name?

    how do I delete contacts? help! contacts are deleted off my
    contacts. but when I go to messages and press in the name the contact
    still appears under other..... can I delete these?

    That is saved in cache memory on the phone and that memory is about 2MB in size and is eventually overwritten with use.  The only sure way to get rid of it is to restore as new and not from a backup and you will lose data.  I suggest you just ignore

    How do I delete music from my iPad without it being downloaded again from cloud? Please help.

    Hi roy1939,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The variable that has changed with iOS 7 is the "Show All Music" option in Settings > iTunes & App Store. This feature displays your iTunes in the Cloud purchases on your device (while they are not locally stored). You can identify these by the "cloud download" icon on the right.
    To hide your iTunes in the Cloud purchases, disable this feature in Settings > iTunes & App Store.

  • How do i delete contacts in my mail address book

    how do i delete contacts in my mail address book

    You don't, if you're referring to addresses that appear when you click the "Address" button.. Mail is just reading from the Address Book application's data. Open the standalone Address Book and you can edit and remove contacts there.
    If you want to clear the list of addresses that pop up as suggestions but that are not in your address book, go to the Window menu and select "Previous Recipients". You can edit or clear that list from there.
    Regards.
