How do you delete the contacts from "All on My Mac"

How do you delete the contacts from "All on My Mac"? i have moved everything to iCloud and want to delete the contacts on my mac.

Signing out will not delete them from iCloud. Do it and read the message. It will give you the option to store address book contacts locally or just in iCloud. It will tell you that they will be available in iCloud when you sign back in.
In Addition, signing your mac out of iCloud does not sign your other devices out of iCloud. Any info in iCloud will still be available to other devices.
You can also access iCloud from the website https://www.icloud.com , which you can access from any computer at any time.

thats for recent calls...what I am talkin about is the contact list...there are 3 swipe windows when you call up the contact list, its starts off in the middle displaying your contcts, swipe to the right and it shows social networking updates, swipe all the to the left and it has contact history which shows all the history for your contacts, whether its phone calls, texts, facebook updates, facebook messages, everything for every contact, I have facebook messages from months ago that come up because its linked to facebook. Even when you text and delete the conversation, it still displays all the texts in the history for that contact, I want that deleted out and there is no way to do it.
When you're on the screen you 're talking about, if you press the menu button (bottom left) that brings up a "Delete" button. Is this what you're asking?

How to sync Google Apps contacts from ALL groups to Mac OS X Contacts/Address Book

I have some 4,000 contacts in my Google Apps account. I used to store all of them in Google's "My Contacts" category, but my iOS devices had huge performance issues searching through 4,000 contacts as I typed a name or phone number on the device. So I trimmed it down and only keep the 200 or so most often used contacts in the "My Contacts" folder. This works because iOS devices are only able to sync that one category of contacts.
However, I now want to sync my Google Apps contacts with Mac OS X Contacts/Address Book. I'd like it to sync ALL of the contacts, not just those 200 in "My Contacts".
Is this possible? I'm using Mountain Lion and Google Apps Premier.
I used to be able to achieve this using SpanningSync. But as of a couple weeks ago, SpanningSync has been permanently discontinued due to architectural changes with the sync engine in Mac OS X. I'm not aware of any other contacts synching tools that could do it.
I know that Address Book/Contacts won't be able to show my Google Apps categories--just a single long list of everyone. That's totally fine by me, as long as I can get all contacts in the Mac OS X application and only the My Contacts group on my iPhone and iPad.
Any and all guidance would be VERY much appreciated.

Unfortunately no, not at all. I've tried these boards which were obviously fruitless on this question. I've tried the Genius Bar. And I've tried other technical resources. I do not believe it's possible at this point.
"Little stuff" like this.... it's seemingly relatively trivial in the grand scheme of things, but can be real productivity killers when I have to go back and forth between Apple's Contacts software and the actual Google Apps/Gmail web UI. It's these little things that create quirks between Google Apps and Mac OS that almost make me want to return to Exchange. It's much more expensive and other than Outlook and Calendar/Mail/Contacts, there's no virtually no interoperability options on the Mac. But at least it's consistent and I know what will work and what won't.
On the other hand, I could also solve this problem by simply putting ALL of my contacts in my Google Apps account into the "My Contacts" folder. But that kinda defeats the purpose of having a "My Contacts" folder.
Sorry Steven--I wish I had a better update or a resource to point you to, but I'm at the end of the road on this one.

TS3276 how do you delete a contact from your mail address list?

i dont know that many details about my mac.. Geez! I just am trying to delete addresses from my mail that are no longer good, to avoid the 'unable to send' messages and I can't find any place that says do that, nor can i delete with keyboard, nor with trying to drag them to the trash. Can anyone help me? One would think it would be very simple.
PS: In language I can understand? thank you thank you thank you. !

Address Book in 10.6.8 (which your post says you are using) has a Delete Card item in the Edit menu. If you want to get rin of a complete card, use it. If you have more than one address on an individual's contact card as here:
click the Edit button at the bottom of the card to put it in edit mode:
then click the minus sign beside any that you want rid of.
Make sure that you clear them from the Previous Recipients window too.

Using parallels how do you stop the default from opening in excel mac

I am using parralells with my mac book pro, attempting to open a file in windows excel but the file keeps opeing in excel for mac,
I had this working before but cannot seem to make this work now argg
any help is welcome

That is a simple WIndows setting you need to adjust. Your Parallels seems to have changed the default "open with" program in your windows installation. The way to fix it depends upon your version of Windows, but you can probably get there my holding down teh shift key and clicking the right mouse button on the file you are trying to open. Doing that should add a new line to the right-click menu "Open with..." select that and in the pop-up select your windows app you want to use, and check the checkbox to make it the default app for that file extension.

HT5465 how can i delete a contact ( or all contacts ) from i phone ios7 ?

how can i delete a contact ( or all contacts ) from i phone - ios7.0.2 ?

The fact that those internal contacts lists aren't editable is an irritation to many. I've submitted feedback to Apple several times on this, asking that in a future OS release they should either
Provide a way to directly access that list of 'Recent Addressees' and Delete unwanted ones, or
If not that, then at least mode it so that addressses selected from that list bubble up to the top, therefore over time moving the unused ones down out of sight.
Other have added their own ideas, and the more they hear on this topic the more likely a future fix will become. If you feel that you would like the change, then put together your best case for it and make your wishes known directly to apple via their established Feedback links:

While I have a few ideas, I think you'd have better luck troubleshooting this in the iCloud forum.

How do I reorganize my photos on iPad 2? I need to move (not copy) photos from one album to another. When I use the copy function to another album, and then try to delete an image from the original album, the system wants to delete the photos from all albums. Please help.

You can't do it directly on the iPad - the new album functionality basically only allows you to copy photos into those new albums, you can't move them. The way that I think of it as working is that you are just creating pointers to the photos in those new albums, so if you then delete the original photo on the iPad you therefore automatically delete all the pointers to it.
If you want to re-organise your albums then you will need to do it on your computer and then sync those albums over to the iPad

Winfax1-
Look in your Contacts App and see if the unwanted address is entered there. If it is, you can delete it there.

TS4147 I have 2 iphones on the same icloud for 2 different users. We (the users) dont want identical contacts. How do I delete the contats from one phone without deleting them from the other phone.

I have 2 iphones on the same icloud for 2 different users. We (the users) dont want identical contacts. How do I delete the contats from one phone without deleting them from the other phone.

You can't; not if the phones are sharing the same iCloud account. If you want to keep your data separate, migrate one of them to a different iCloud account. (You can continue to share the same iTunes ID.)
To do this, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (this won't effect the other phone), choose Keep on My iPhone, sign back in with a different Apple ID to set up a new account, turn on your iCloud data syncing, then choose Merge to upload the data to the new account. You can then go to icloud.com from your computer and delete the other person's data from each account.
Another option if you're only concerned about not sharing contacts but wish to share everything else, is to set up a second iCloud account on one of the phones and sync contacts with the secondary account. To do this, go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts to Off and choose Keep on My iPhone. Then go to Settings>Mail,Contacts, Calendars>Add Account>iCloud, sign in with a different Apple ID to create the secondary account, and turn Contacts to On. You can then go to icloud.com from your computer and delete the other person's contacts from each account.

How do you delete unwanted pictures from the photo library on the iPhone 4s? The ones in the Daisy icon...

Pictures in Photo Library are synced from your computer and must be deleted from there, followed by re-sync. Photos in Camera Roll can be deleted from your iPhone directly (tap arrow in top right, tap the pictures you want to delete, press the Delete button).
