How to delete contacts that come up when typing an email address

I have an ipad and every time that I send an email, it brings up various contacts. A few that I haven't used in years...how do I get rid of them..they span email accounts and I just want them deleted from the list that pulls up. They are not in my contacts anywhere...I have looked everywhere.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks.

They are stored in cache memory on the phone that will eventually be overwritten. What you have been told is correct

how do you reset your security questions when the rescue email address no longer exists?

Didn't the link to contact the iTunes Store staff in the 'Additional Information' section of that article work for you? If you don't already have a valid rescue email address, only Apple itself can reset the questions.

Email problem when typing in email addresses using Mail on the iPhone 3G

Hi,
I have a problem whilst typing in email addresses into the Mail App To: field. Basically, what's happening is this.
When I first got the phone, I was using a Hotmail account as well as a Googlemail account which I had going through the Mail App, my hotmail address was used for work so on occassions, I would email my Hotmail account from the Mail App on my phone.
The problem I have is that I now have a new Hotmail account and when I start to type the address into the To: field in Mail App, it still shows my old Hotmail account address rather than the one I am now using. I only now send to the new Hotmail address so I thought that it would replace the old one when I start typing the address in the To: field.
Has anyone else found this at all? It's rather annoying as everytime, I have to type the whole address even though I have sent many recently and never send to the old Hotmail address anymore but the old address comes up as soon as I start to type the new address.
Can anyone please help me on this?
Many Thanks,
Adam

Apps are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them. You will always be asked for the password associated with this ID when updating apps, regardless of whether or not you are using this ID for current purchases. The only way to stop this is to delete the old apps from your phone and iTunes and repurchase them with your current ID.
Edit: to change the ID used for future purchases on your phone, go to Settings>Store>Apple ID, tap the ID shown, sign out, sign back in using the new ID. As explained above, you will still be prompted with the old ID when updating apps purchase with the older ID.

How do i reset my security questions when the recovery email address is wrong?

My brother has managed to mess up his Apple ID. We have Apple ID and password but everytime a paid App is trying to download it asks for security questions which he has forgotten the answers to. The recovery email address he has entered is not correct to nay email account we have in the family and I haven't a clue what to do next? There is a £15 voucher on this account which we would like to use.
Any help/advice would be much appreciated
Many thanks

First try:
Can I change the answers to the security questions for my Apple ID?
Yes. You can change the answers to the security questions provided when you originally signed up for your Apple ID. Go to My Apple ID and click Manage your Apple ID. Sign in with your Apple ID name and password, go to the section Password and Security and click Reset your security information.
next (I think your can't do this one)
Rescue email address and how to reset Apple ID security questions
Last contact iTunes by:
https://expresslane.apple.com/Issues.action
Click on "Account Management" and then on "Forgotten Security Questions". That will take you to a page where you can talk to iTunes Support right away, or you can schedule a call to talk to them. They should be able to get you squared away so that you can log on to the old Apple ID.

How do you change your icloud account when you change email address

How do you change your Icloud account details from your old email address to your new email address?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Firstly, you need to change your details with Apple, Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

When typing an email address and locating it if you hit the tab button it occasionally defaults to another similar address

When typing address and the existing recipient shows up I click on it and hit the tab button. If there is a similar address that I email more frequently it defaults to that.
type mike@ and [email protected] and [email protected] shows up. I click on [email protected] and hit the tab button the system changes it to [email protected] because I email that more frequently.

Yes this is broke. The forum is full of the exact same report. They are working on a fix.

When typing an email address, "matching" addresses appear...

as I type an email address on my iphone 4, "matching" addresses automatically appear below....does anyone know how I can turn this feature off and/or prevent the phone from displaying these "matches"?

I don't believe you can, just keep typing and ignore them, or if it matches the one you want stop and click on it.

Mail crashes when typing an email address

Hi,
I just bought a MacBookPro thinking it would be the end of my troubles with Mail. But I was wrong. I really just turned it on for the first time.
The 1st and ONLY thing I did till now was installing Adobe programs, backing up my Safari bookmark list and my Addressbook contacts.
Afterwards I configured my email accounts on Mail from scratch (I haven't even backed up the old emails as I was having the same crashing problem os my old Power Book G4) and as soon as I tryed to send an email, it started crashing when I typed on the "to" field.
I can only guess I could be a problem with the OS system or with the Address Book. I beg for any help. By now, I'm really frustated.
Thanks everyone!

Thanks a lot for your help David,
Here it goes. Just a new thing, now it's crashing when I open it, when I try to delete a message or do anything. Have alrealdy restarted twice. But it keeps happening again.

i am a new iphone 4s user and i had a quick question that i have not been able to find an answer to.
when i am using imessage, there are a few contacts that come up as options but yet they are not located in my address book or contacts list-- they are simply only an option when creating a new text imessage.
i would like to delete these contacts from the imessage list of options because they are numbers that i no longer need but i am not able to delete them.
someone please help me fix this problem so i can get rid of these contacts and not send any messages to them instead of the actual correct person!

It sounds like if you open Preferences in Word there will be a place where you can specify where to store autorecover files. Right now it sounds like it's pointing to somewhere that doesn't exist.
