How do I remove all of the contacts that Facebook put into my Contacts? iPhone 5

I have a million contacts now, including duplicates of people who were already there. It's a giant mess. I went to Settings > Facebook > (Toggle "Contacts" to Off) and then did Update All Contacts, but they're still there. In addition to not being able to mass delete contacts, this is giving me a major headache. Did anybody solve a similar problem?

you can only do all with itunes.
On the phone itself you can only delete one at a time.
Go to the contact, choose edit, scroll down, at the bottom is a delete option.

  • How do I remove all of the photos that have been imported and start over. The photo did not import into folders by date

    When I imported the photos, I thought I had it set to import them into folders but it didn't happen. I have one file of 10000+ photos in the same folder. I would likede to start over, remove what has been imported (not delete) and start over importing them into folder that I choose rather than all in one.

    Okay - but after that..
    I followed the instruction in the tutorial and did the following:
    Click Import (Existing Files)
    Select source - (pictures appear in grid)
    include sub-folders if appropriate
    Select “add”
    File Handling - Changed build preview to standard
    Apply During Import - Nothing added
    Add keywords - Added keywords
    Import (Tutorial says to click “Import” but import is greyed out and not available)
    What am I missing? The destination information does not appear. I tried selecting that before I clicked "Import" but that didn't help..

  • How can i remove all of the purchased songs from my phone?

    I want to remove all of the purchased songs from my phone, but I'm not having any success.  I've transferred the purchases to iTunes, and turned off the cloud on my phone, but they are still there.  They will not let me delete them...

    They go away until the next sync and then they return to the list.  They are shown in iTunes greyed out with a broken circle in the first column when manually viewing them.
    It's an iPhone 5S, I'm running the latest OS, 8.1.
    OK, maybe time to get extreme.  I've had similar experiences, sometimes occurring after making direct-to-device purchases and sometimes after doing an iOS update.  In the two times I've experienced what you've seen I've fixed it by digging deeper, bear with me:
    If your iPhone is not set for manual management, do so. (i.e. select "Manually manage music and video")
    While connected to iTunes, navigate the contents of the iPhone.  Select all songs and delete them.  Ignore the gray ones if still present.
    Eject the iPhone and go to Settings/ General/ Usage/ Manage Storage.  Let the list populate then select the Music category.  In the next screen, swipe across "All Songs" from right to left and tap Delete.
    Connect back to iTunes, perform a backup, then restore the iPhone and reload the backup.
    Your iPhone should now have its settings, accounts, and apps back, but no music -- not even the "ghost" entries.  Add the music back that you want, either via manually dragging and dropping from iTunes, or auto-syncing all or a portion of your library.
    Some people reported luck with just step #3.  The problem I've had with that, is any music that I want remaining on the iPhone gets corrupted, such that playback will skip and/or show the wrong artwork.  By deleting all music first, then following up with a restore, that seems to clear the problem.  Personally I avoid direct-to-device purchases since I've had spooky occurrences almost every time where the purchases are very difficult to remove.

  • How do I find all of the photos that do NOT contain a specific person tag?

    I am scanning my old photos and slides and organizing them with Photoshop Elements 12.   I have recently started taging the pictures with family names.   I see from this forum that I can search for untagged pictures but how can I find all the pictures that do NOT contain the "Smith" family tag but might contain the "Jones" family tag?  Some pictures will be marked with more than one family name.  The "Find by Details" option defaults to "includes" for keywords and people.  There is no way to set it to "not includes".
    I am running PSE12 on Windows 7 Professional on a Dell XPS desktop.
    Thanks for any suggestions.

    See the online help:

    The workaround is often to create a temporary tag for pictures not having a given keyword. Even with a very big catalog, tagging nearly all images is astonishly quick. You select based on the keyword, then use the option to show 'non matching' items, and assign them another (negative) keyword.

  • How do I undo all of the recent bull crap built into firefox?

    I've loved firefox since I first installed it back in 2.x days. I've LOATHED the versioning system since 5 or 6. NOW, when I open a new tab, I have a bunch of crap that I don't want being displayed. I'm sick and tired of firefox trying to emulate chrome. If i wanted chrome, I would install it.
    At this point, I'm ready to drop firefox all together and try out some crap independent browser.
    How on earth do I disable all the nonsense and go back to a real browser?

    there's an icon in the top-right corner that allows you to switch off the new thumbnail view.
    alternatively you can set the browser.newtab.url preference in about config to "about:blank"

  • How can i get all of the new music I loaded into iTunes onto my iPod without deleting the content that is already on it?

    I just loaded a bunch of music from my CD library into iTunes in the hopes of loading it onto my iPod. The problem is now I can't figure out how to do it. Two issues... First it says that if I synch it will delete what is already on my iPod which I absolutely do not want. Second, is there a way to load each of the albums without having to create a play list?
    Ugh... Always a frustrating experience trying to deal with iTunes.

    You can only sync your device to one iTunes library at a time. You can either copy the music from the library on your other computer to the one you have loaded the new CDs onto, or you can purchase an external CD Drive and load them to the iTunes library you are currently sync'd with:
    iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
    http://store.apple.com/us/search/External-CD-DVD---SuperDrive
    For syncing, I am not familiar with the drag and drop method. I have always used the normal sync process:
    iTunes 12 for Mac: Sync iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    iTunes 12 for Windows: Sync iPod, iPhone, or iPad

  • HT1727 Hello,  I have a new computer as my other computer is not working.  How can I access all of the music that I have previously purchased?

    My song titles are all there but my new computer cannot access the song content. Is there a way to access my music?

    Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer or the backup of the old computer to the new computer.  You do maintain a backup of your media and other important data, correct?

  • How do I get all of my friends on Facebook out of my Contacts?

    I have looked at the preferences and it says Facebook is inactive yet everyone is there. Could iCloud be the problem? Because contacts on my phone are fine so I wouldn't think iCloud has anything to do with it evenn though I just set it up.

    The iphone is not a storage/backup device.
    The sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The only exception is itunes purchases
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.  Use your backup copy to put everything on your new one.

  • How do i remove a macbook air case that i put on backwards?

    i put on a case that i ordered off of ebay and somehow managed to put the top of the case on backwards. I've tried a credit card and my fingernails and none them are working. so i don't know what to do now and I'm afraid I'm going to break my new macbook air.

    Without seeing it, I would not suggest anything. As a suggestion, why not take it in to an Apple store and see if they will help. They should know if removing it would stress the glass.

  • How can I remove all returns within the text?

    I copied and pasted text onto pages from the internet, but the text does not go all the way to the end of the set margins that i have on Pages, instead it goes about halfway or so and begins on a new line. how can i remove all of the spaces between the words so that it runs the full length of the page.
    It blows my mind that i have to resort to seeking help on the apple forums for this problem, it seems like something so simple would be a standard feature when adjusting text on the page. The only thing that could frustrate me more is if it impossible to do on this software, or if it is simple to do and I was too stupid to figure it out. If it is impossible then I'm **** out of luck because the document is just to **** long to sit there for hours and manually delete every single last return.

    Not to preempt your fun of playing with AppleScript, but here's my take on it:
    tell application "Pages"
        tell document 1
            -- Make sure there's no selection
            select insertion point before character 1
            set cc to count characters of body text
            set returnOffsets to (character offset of every character where it is return)
            -- Reverse order, since deletion would alter all subsequent offsets
            repeat with n in reverse of returnOffsets
                if (n > 1) then
                    if n < cc and character (n + 1) is return then
                        -- Treat double returns as a true paragraph break.
                        -- Delete the extra.
                        delete character n
                    else if character (n - 1) ≠ return then
                        -- Change single returns into spaces.
                        set character n to " "
                    end if
                end if
            end repeat
        end tell
    end tell

  • Will I lose all of the pictures that I have taken if I sync my iPhone to a new computer?

    I was out visiting my Aunt in MI and she had bought me an iPhone 4s. So while I was there, my cousin had synced my iPhone to his computer and added some music. I also took some pictures with the camera.
    Now that I am back home, I was wondering if I would lose all of the pictures that I have taken with my iPhone if I sync it to my computer back home... This is kind of important, because it has all of the pictures from when I was in MI...
    Please help?
    Thanks!

    where the **** is the answer to these questions??

  • How can i remove all contact at once from ovi?

    after synchronise with ovi & my mobile how can i remove all contact from my ovi's contact.
    I can remove one by one but i want to remove all at once. how possible??
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    @tkwcare:
    Beware of that method. Restoring your contacts after sync'ing will restore the phone to a state with a timestamp prior to when the sync occurred. Sync'ing again will attempt to bring the phone up to date with the online resource and, in doing so, will delete all the contacts off the phone!
