If you're talking about contacts not in your Contacts App, that still appear, restoring your phone as a new device is one way to get rid of them. They cannot be deleted directly on your phone. They will slowly disappear, as you use your phone. Another way to get rid of them is to get this app:

Those are your only choices to delete this data.

Hi tieyce,
You need to hook up your iPhone, select it under Devices, and then go to the Photos tab on the Device Profile, and uncheck Sync Photos, then sync. That should delete all photos that were downloaded from your computer.
When you say you have 2 separate albums of the same sets of pictures, what 2 albums are you referring to? Can you provide us with names of those "duplicate" albums?
Cheers,

I transferred pictures over from my computer to my iPhone 5 and now i cannot delete them on the phone and cannot work out how to delete them from my phone by the computer?

I trasferred pictures over from my computer to my iPhone 5 and now i cannot delete these pictures from my phone, and i cannot work out how to delete them from my phone by the computer as the pictures do not show up in my files on the computer, how can i remove them i have over 400 pictures that need removing?

If you have a Mac with iPhoto, plug the iPhone in and open iPhoto. Choose to import the photos. Once they have been imported, there should be an option to "Remove Imported Photos from Device". Choose this.

All the photos from my computer were transferred to my iphone. I don't know what I did to make that happen and I can't even delete them from my phone. I had to reset and restore my phone to original settings and lost all my iphone photos and contacts and messeges. Has this happened to anyone who might know how to fix this or next time I sync my iphone to prevent the photos from my computer from downloading onto my phone?

You delete them the same way you put them there. The sync process. Open itunes, connect iphone, select what you want on the iphone, sync

How to get contacts from LG phone to MacBookPro?

I know this has to be simple but I'm not finding useful information anywhere:
I have an LG CU500V cellphone and a MacBookPro running Leopard. I've configured bluetooth and both devices recognize each other. I want to know if it's possible to import my contacts from my phone into Address Book. I've never used Address Book and haven't set anything up.
Can I pull this info off the phone? How do I make the sync occur?
Thanks
--p

No LG phones are supported by iSync for true syncing, because they don't have the industry standard SyncML protocol for syncing.
However, if your phone supports the industry standard vCard format, you may be able to send vCards from the phone via Bluetooth, and then double-click the received file(s) to import into Address Book.
You'd need to consult your phone's manual for how to do that with your specific phone.

I was coming from a BlackBerry when I got my iPhone though so I'm not sure if that's an option for the Voyager.
If you do some searching on the VZW site, or even Google, you can still find those getting ready guides. All the same info would apply, I'd think.
I know the info for the iPhone 4 is still available...but not sure if everything will be the same. Since iOS 5 will make it where you don't have to connect the iPhone to a computer at all there may be a way to do it without that step (which is necessary with iOS 4 if you want to use iTunes to sync contacts). You might be able to get your contacts on your computer from the Voyager and then sync them to the iPhone through the Cloud. Or...it might just be exactly the same as the current iPhone. That's why I was saying maybe they'll post another guide for the 4s. There might even be an owners manual PDF for the 4s already on the apple site. Not sure but if there is then some info would also be available there.

I need to know how to delete apps from my phone permanently because in order to update some of them i need a friends appleid pw because it was at one point synced with his apple id. these apps wont update unless i can delete them and DL under my apple ID.

Okay, so this is a little more information on my problem. When i first got my iphone i didnt have a computer of my own. So i synced it to my friends computer under his apple id. well then later down the road i got a mac of my own and was able to sync it to that. well some of my apps (facebook, snapchat, instagram, and google) backed up to his id. Now none of those applications will update if i dont have the password for his apple id. What i would like to accomplish is to delete them from my phone and such completely, or just unattach them from his icloud/apple id so that i can re download them under my own account. at this point everytime i try to delete them from my phone and go into the app store to download them again, it only gives me the option to redownload them from the cloud. i do not want to do this. because that means the app still wont be up to date and it will still be associated with said friends apple id. is there anyone who can guide me through this issue?

In this case if you download it from his account, you will need to deleted and download it again by your account
also delete your backup from iTunes after you delete all the apps/games that you download it from your friend account
so in the next time you try to restore your backup, you will not face the same problem

Deleted contacts from my phone & they auto deleted from other phone. How do I get them back?

Just updated my iPhone 4 and my GF's iPhone 4 to the new OS, we share the same Apple ID and subsequently linked both phones to the same iCloud account (I will be using separate clouds from this point forward). However, after the update all of her contacts where in my phone so I deleted all of them and due to the cloud they all deleted from her phone.
So, I have previously backed up (not just synched) her phone to iTunes but I was hoping for clarification on exactly to restore her phone from iTunes and recover all of her contacts. Can you please give me the “dummy” proof steps on how to restore her phone and get her contacts back? Please and thank you in advance.

How to delete skype from my phone

i tried manage applications and it doesnt show there,,, i tried running services and it was there initially,, i shut it down,, yet most times when i open my task manager to kill running applications, there it is,,, i want to just plain get rid of it,, any help out there?

Although this thread may be old I think it's quite relevant. I'm not sure if it has been mentioned before in another thread or not I just googled "how to delete skype droid x" and this was at the top of the list.
Besides the fact that it's completely useless for the Droid X. When you're in video mode there is no front facing camera, and if there is mine has never worked. I tried it out of the box to figure out if I wanted it on my phone or not.
When I was in video mode I could see the person on my phone but the camera on the battery side is the image projected to them. So they could watch my feet while I watched them. If there is an option to change camera it was no where I'd consider easy to locate throughout the apps options and settings. It was also when I learned that I really didn't have a choice if I wanted to uninstall it.
I'm sure skype signed some sort of deal with Verizon or maybe even they are some sort of sister company of them. That's super that you want to include this software already loaded on a phone so people have it there and give it a shot. It is a pretty cool concept I will admit. But not everyone wants it. Not everyone wants to have a program constantly running on a phone where battery life is most important. The votes on the Marketplace are split between the 100.000+ votes.
Half were 1 star the other half were 5. So it's safe to say you either love it or hate it. But enough people have spoken in regards to NOT wanting this forced on us. Everyone knows Verizon is the best cell phone provider out there and if they don't agree then quite frankly they are not informed. Being the best also comes with doing what your customers are somewhat demanding.
And that is allow us the option to delete programs we see fit. We pay for the service, we pay for the contracts, we pay for the phones You may knock off a few hundred in the "manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) but we all know you get it back with the mandatory $30.00 data plan on smartphones and minute charges that are considerably one of the highest in the nation. You also have more coverage then anyone. It comes at a price and this is all something we both know about each other and why you are #1.

How to get contacts from Verizon phone to iPhone 4S?

I currently have a Verizon non-smart phone (LG Voyager). I plan on pre-ordering an iPhone 4S. How can I get my contacts on the iPhone 4S?
FYI- I do have backup assistant.
Thank you.

How to delete contacts from iPhone and update changes to PC after synch?

I spend a lot of time deleting old/unwanted/duplicated contacts on iPhone. Then I synch with PC through iTunes and I get two options: 1. MERGE or 2. Replace contacts on iPhone with PC information. If I click MERGE then all those contacts I deleted come back to my iPhone. MERGE seems to be a merely 'collapse' information feature...whether is from PC to iPhone or viceversa.
Obviously I don't want to replace my iPhone contacts with those in PC, because then I will loose all those pictures I took to my contacts...also, all the time spent assigning pictures to contacts will go to trash can.
This is kind of irritating...am I the only one having this problem? Active Synch for SmartPhones or Pocket PC nailed this down beautifully (it knows where the latest/most updated information happened and keeps that one).
Help please.

Thank you for trying to help.
I don't want to replace the information on my iPhone because in my iPhone where i have the most updated information (pictures assigned to contacts and deleted duplicated/unwanted contacts)...I would like to replace the contacts on my PC instead.
After doing what you are suggesting will I be able to replace information on my PC? Is this what you mean?
Thank you.

Hi there!
I assume that you are writing a program that runs on a phone. You can't get access to the protected SIM areas. This includes calendar, phone book and SMS functionality in any kind.

How to get contacts from stolen phone

my iphone got stolen and when i try to track it on icloud it says its offline and i need to figure out how to get all my contact back but they wont show up on icloud when i go to contacts

If they aren't showing in iCloud, then you may not have been syncing your contacts to iCloud. Could you have been syncing with another service? Like Yahoo, Gmail, Hotmail, etc? If not, I'm sorry.
