How do I delete multiple contacts?

Hi
Does anyone know how to delete all contacts from the iphone, as I want to sync my contacts with a different Yahoo account. I seem to only be able to manually go through and delete them one by one.
Frustrating!
Any help would be much appreciated
Rob

Hi,
This option works but need to ensure below points:
1) Sync the iPhone with Outlook on a different PC
2) Outlook on the new PC should not have contacts that needs to be deleted
3) Replace contacts on the device need to be selected before sync (scroll down in iTunes)
Above info seems helpful only with Contacts as they don't get deleted when you sync it back with your computer. Let me know if you have questions (quicker response if contactes at [email protected]).
Regards,
Manjax

  • How do I delete multiple contacts from address book?

    Hello,
    I have been using Macs for well over a decade. As a result my Address Book has become crowded with a large number of contacts for people I don't know anymore, most of which are out of date anyways.
    Is there a way to quickly delete multiple contacts? I think I have about 100 contacts to delete. Doing them all manually will take forever.
    Thanks!

    I assume that this will work, but I thought my first suggestion would work so ....Log into iCloud.com on your computer. Click on contacts. Click on the settings icon in the lower left corner - then click on Select All - then click on Delete.

  • How can I delete multiple contacts at a time.

    I need to clean up my contacts, I was wondering how to do multiple contacts instead of one by one. 

    You can't from the phone.
    If they are iCloud contacts you can sign into iCloud.com with Your Apple ID from a web browser on your computer. Click Contacts, select the contacts you want to delete, click the gear icon on the bottom left then delete.

  • I synced with iMac itunes and got many more contacts than I want on the iPhone. How can I delete multiple contacts rather than having to do so one at a time?

    I synced my iPhone with itunes and iMac and got many more contacts than I wanted on my iPhone. How can I delete quite a few of them at one time as opposed to deleting one at a time?

    iTunes does not handle the import of photos/videos from the iPhone's Camera Roll.
    If this is not the computer you sync your iPhone with, you should have been provided a warning message that your iPhone is associated with an iTunes library on another computer and when trying to transfer any iTunes content from a different computer, a warning message is provided indicating that all iTunes content on the iPhone will be erased first.
    When connecting an iPhone to iTunes on another computer, none of the options under the various tabs for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes are selected automatically. This means you had to select Sync Contacts under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes on your wife's computer.
    Assuming you are syncing contacts with a supported address book app on your computer, connect your iPhone to Tunes on your computer and without syncing, under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences below the Advanced section, select Contacts for replace info on this iPhone followed by a sync.
    For importing photos/videos from the Camera Roll which can be done with a computer that is not used for syncing the iPhone since syncing with iTunes is not involved.

  • How can I delete multiple contacts quickly? I want to clean up my contacts and not take forever to do it.

    I would like to clean up my contacts - probably remove 10 - 20% of them. Is there an easy way to do this? Or do I need to go into every one and hit delete contact?

    I've split up my iPhoto library and now I want to clean up (as iPhot crashes around every 5 minutes and I suspect that's due to too many photos in the library).
    Julia,
    crashes are rarely caused by too many photos - I have never seen that happen, unless your hard drive has not enough space left for the operating system to work.
    The usual causes for crashes are rather inconsistencies in your iPhoto library, importing unreadable or  incompatible media (videos, photos), installing incompatible software.
    So you'd better find out, what is causing the crashes in this case. Did you install new software, before the trouble started? Or import new photos or videos? Move your iPhoto library to a different location? Run "CleanMyMac" or something similar?
    But to answer your question:
    Therefore, I want to delete photos from the default library. Of course, I do get a security pop up that reminds me some of my photos have been uploaded to flickr and that these will be deleted as well when I delete the photo from my library.
    Is there any way to avoid this?
    Sign out of your Flickr account in iPhoto's preferences, before you delete the photos from your main library. Then the uploaded Flickr albums should be safe.
    Regards
    Léonie
    Select your Flickr account and press the minus sign to disable it.

  • What is the most efficient way to delete multiple contacts

    How can I delete multiple contacts at one time?

    Ok, here was the fix.  I found that the date added was 18 minutes apart for the duplicates.  Since half the music was added at :19  and half was added at :37, I sorted by date added in the display duplicates window, and deleted the music by date!  It took 5 minutes.  I know enough to get me in and out of trouble, and that's all I know!

    Is there an easy way to delet multiple contacts on iphone 5s annd 5c. I can delete them one at a time, but wondered if theres a way to do some of them but not all.

    No, there's no mass delete or partial mass delete option.
