How do I remove contacts group from iphone 4 on ios5.

The group is only on my iphone not on Macbook or cloud. Syncing doesn't seem to remove it . TIA

This was a fantastic tip!  I have been knocking my head against the wall trying to figure this out, and the app GContact Lite allowed for very quick and easy editing and manipulation of my contact list and groups.  THANKS!

  • How come calendars and contacts vanish from iPhone after upgrade to iTunes 6.1.2?

    How come calandras and contacts vanish from iPhone after upgrade to iTunes 6.1.2?

    Hi, Did you work out a fix for this?  All my calender dates (past & future) and the last 12 months of new contacts gone!!!!   And yes i too back up regularly. 
    Previously when the great 5 upgrade happened, i did loss everything, and although I was doing backups none of that info was relative in an English way. A whole life of important, unreplaceable information gone!  Never to be found.
    All of my products are apple, but it seems that little people dont matter to them, with no recourse for the damage to my personal or professional life.
    Extremly disappointed again!

    Hey there Matt.dvs1,
    Although there is not a way to remove past purchases from your iTunes account completely, you can hide them so that you don't have to see them if you don't want to. This article will help you do that:
    iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases - Apple Support
    Hide your purchases
    Open iTunes on your Mac or PC.
    From the Store menu, choose Store > Sign In, and then enter your Apple ID and password.
    Go to the iTunes Store.
    Click Purchased from the Quick Links section on the right side of the iTunes Store.
    Choose a content type by clicking Music, Movies, TV Shows, Apps, or Books from the top of the window.
    A list of your purchased items for the content type you are viewing will appear. Mouse over the item you want to hide until an X appears its top-left corner.
    A confirmation dialog will appear once you click the X.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • How to delete contact groups from iPhone

    I have a peculiar problem. While buying iPhone 4 - the vendor helped me transferrng my contacts from Nokia to iPhone 4. I have noticed that some unwanted groups exist without any contact nos.
    I am unable to delete them now.
    I have transferred all the contacts ( or synchronised) with outlook 2002 installed in my PC.
    Can you please guide me how to delete these unwanted groups and only keep my contacts.

    Sorry, I don't use Outlook, but the requirements for syncing contacts with outlook are at least version 2003. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1296
    Did you use the build in help feature in outlook to find out how to delete a group?

  • How can I remove 300 groups from my iCloud Contacts?

    My OS X Address Book started out with about 10 groups, but now iCloud.com has about 300 groups.
    The replication arose because of a bug in how iCloud handles a mixture of Address Book Cards with both OS X and Windows line terminated Notes (LF vs. CRLF - it helps if you once used a typewriter).
    I figured out how to convert Address Book to all LF terminated line feeds and I was able to get iCloud.com working on a different account, but my core account is stuck with 300 groups (some replicated 50 times).
    I know how to delete all Cards/Contacts in iCloud.com Contacts, but, unfortunately that doesn't remove Groups. (Groups have an interesting behavior in iCloud, almost as though Apple has a special plan for them.)
    I can delete Groups one at a time on iCloud.com, but that's tedious. Unfortunately deleting them on Address Book, and trusting in sync to clear up iCloud.com, is equally tedious.
    Has anyone heard of a way to delete all Groups on iCloud or Address Book 6? Perhaps an AppleScript?
    Has anyone heard of Apple resetting a corrupt iCloud account to clear out bad data? (I have a clean version of Address Book I can use to restart -- that, by the way, is harder than you'd think. Again because Groups are special).
    Advice appreciated. If I get some free time I might take may laptop by the Genius bar and see what they say...

    I figured this out. In this case I didn't care about my Contacts, I had them elsewhere. My problem was my iCloud acount was "poisoned" with massive replication of 'Groups'. Even after I deleted all the Contacts I still had hundreds of Groups to get rid of. Manual deletion was too tedious.
    The answer was a simple AppleScript (I'm on ML on the machine i ran this on, so it's "contacts" rather than Address Book:
    tell application "Contacts"
              repeat 50 times
                        set theGroup to group "MyGroupName"
      delete theGroup
              end repeat
    save
    end tell
    Since I had the same Group Names replicated about 100 times each, I only had to run this about 10 times to clear them all out. When I got to smaller numbers I had to drop the repeat count. I changed the Group name as I went.
    Took me about five minutes.
    I'm sure an AppleScripter could turn this into a general script for removing all groups all at once. Or could get very clever, and only remove groups that had no contacts (so one could salvage the group/contact relationships).
    I didn't need that. My problem has been fixed.
    I think sync works a LOT better in ML than Lion btw. iCloud updated very quickly.

  • How to delete empty contact groups on iPhone 4

    Hi,
    I am using iCloud to store all of my contacts, calendars, etc.  About a week ago I had to restore my iPhone and when it was done resetting, I found that I had duplicate contacts in groups that fell under the 'On my iPhone' group.  Since I have all the contacts I want in my iCloud folders, I don't need these groups, especially after I deleted all of the contacts within them, leaving them empty.
    My question is how do I delete these unwanted and empty 'All on my iPhone', 'Family', 'Friends', 'School', and 'Work' groups from my phone so that they don't appear in my contacts app at all. 
    Thanks!

    Hi, I have a similar problem:
    There are groups that remain in my iTunes "Info" that won't go away even after resetting the iPhone and resetting via software update.
    I cleared out all my contacts in the address book; went into finder - applications support - address book - metadata and deleted 4 items that have a *.abcdp extention. (except the apple address)
    I even tried syncing with iCloud and using the empty iCloud database to overwrite what I have in iPhone then to my iTunes,
    I tried downloading an app called Easy groups to delete the groups on the iPhone 4s ...
    Still there are 4 empty Groups in iTunes.

  • Deleting Stubborn Contact Group from iPhone

    I created a new Group in my contacts on MobileMe and it was synced to my iPhone 3G just fine and it also appeared in my contacts on the Mac. I then deleted the Group on MobileMe and (there were no contact in it) and it was also deleted from my Mac. However, no matter what I do, I can not get that Group name to delete itself from the iPhone for some reason. Everything else is syncing just fine.
    Is there a way to delete contact groups directly from the iPhone? The group does not exist anymore on MobileMe or in my contacts on the Mac.

    Hi prosumer,
    One thing to try that might help out.
    Go to settings > mail, contacts, calendars > your mobile me account.
    Here you will be able to turn off contact syncing.
    This will remove the contacts and groups from your iphone.
    Wait for a few minutes, then turn contact syncing back on.
    It will take a few minutes to sync back, based on the amount of contacts you have.
    Hope this helps.

  • How to sync Google Contacts groups to iPhone?

    I can sync my contacts both ways between Google Contacts and my iPhone's phone book.
    Contacts in Google contact are grouped. When contacts are synced to the phone, grouping information is lost.
    How do I preserve grouping information?
    Related question: I only want to have a few selected groups in Google to sync with my phone. How do I do that?
    why when I sync google contact at itune, the" selected groups" is gray?

    Hi - from the"iPhone 6 User Guide for iOS 8.1",I followed the following steps:
    Use your Google contacts: Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars, tap your Google account,
    then turn on Contacts.
    So I entered Gmail and password. Then withing Contacts app I pressed the Sync link.  Afterwards I've got all contacts in one big list, just not categorized by Google groups.

  • How do I remove all photos from iPhone 5 camera roll to Mac?

    How do I remove all 4000 photos from iPhone 5 camera roll to Mac?

    Photos/videos in the Camera Roll can be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera. When there are photos/videos in the iPhone's Camera Roll, it is also detected as a digital camera when connected to your computer.
    With a Mac, you can use iPhoto for this if you use iPhoto for photo management on your Mac. If not, you can use the Image Capture application for the import. Both include an option to delete all photos/videos from the Camera Roll after the import process is complete.

  • How do i remove photo albums from Iphone that appear when syncing which I cannot prevent

    Iphone 4.  just synced with laptop and to my horror now have every photo from laptop in albums on my phone which i cannot remove.  Have gone back into sync mode and it wont let me access the albums on phone to delete.  Such ridiculous situation not to be able to delete by choice on phone.  Sync only repeats the process.  Not a happy iphone user.  Can anyone help and suggest a simple way to remove the albums.  Also what to do when syncing to avoid happening again. When syncing,  I dont seem to be able to access my iphone or chose what sync processes i want as the sync only happens as one process including the photos.  Is this a fault??  Cannot believe Apple would make this such a difficult process.  Help appreciated.

    Thanks but it wont let me choose and once the albums on iphone it wont let me remove..... any more thoughts??

  • How to easily create contact groups from MacMail

    Here's my dilemma:  I want to create a group contact that consists of 27 individuals.  The email addresses of these contacts are contained in one email that someone sent me.  In order for me to put each contact into a group, I have to go through an exasperating number of steps which are
    1)  click on the email address, which brings me a drop down menu
    2)  select "Create Contact"
    3)  Go to Address Book and type in the name of that contact, then click save
    4)  Go to the menu to select the "View by Group"
    5)  Pull the contact into that group
    In SnowLeopard, the Address Book allowed one to see in one window the groups, contacts, and new form, so that I didn't have to vascillate between the different views.  Is there anything like that in Lion?  If I have to do this for 27 new contacts, this is really going to wear out my patience!  Thanks in any advance for any suggestions.

    Use Mail Scripts' Add Addresses script. It seems to work under Lion, but very slowly. I had to let it run several minutes before it put up the dialog to select addresses and add to a Group.
