How to delete Gmail contacts from SIM import

Hi,
I just picked up an iPhone 6 today. I had a Nexus 4 prior, and they rep at the store asked me if I wanted to transfer my contacts over to the iPhone. I said yes, please transfer. Well, I now have over 700 contacts. The way the clerk imported the contacts ended up carrying over every email address I had on the phone, not just my 'contacts' with phone numbers etc. Is there any quick way to undo this without spending hours deleting them one by one? This happened prior to me ever syncing anything with gmail. I had not even set up my Google/gmail account on the new iPhone when I walked out of the store...I already had the 700+ 'contacts' when I walked out.

Ok so managed to fix the contacts double up by tackling that in Outlook, where it had stored phone contacts separately, but still no luck on the calendar sync. Any suggestions?

  • How to delete a contact from contacts/address book?

    I have a contact I want to erase from my desktop Mac contacts/address book in OS X Mavericks but I cannot figure out how.  I see no delete button.  This contact is not on my iPhone (with iOS 7) and it's not shown at all if i log into icloud.com and check out my address book.  It's messing up all my programs dependent on the contacts/address book.
    THanks.

    Looks like I have more problems than just that.  There are TWO icloud accounts showing in contacts preferences even though I only have ONE.  I cannot remove one of them.  It says I should remove it from internet accounts.  Internet accounts only has ONE icloud account.
    Is Apple's software going down the tubes along with the hardware now?

  • Got a new iphone , how to delete all contacts from old iphone

    I got new iphone 3gs and now I want to delete all the contacts and photos from my old iphone 3g. Any ideas?

    Two choices: 1. Plug your 3G in, iTunes running, hit the restore button. Restore the phone as a new device. Eject when finished, do not sync. 2. Plug the phone into a wall outlet(can take several hours), then: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings.

  • How to delete all contacts from my online ovi acco...

    Hi,
    I have uploaded my mobile contacts to ovi.com , now I want to delete them all but the only option I have is to delete them one by one which is a real pain!
    Any idea please?
    Regards

    I have not had to deal with this problem for a while but according to my last post you simply go to address book in contacts and then do multiple selections and just hit delete but be warned I think once you do that if you sync your phone with OVI suite the phone have all of its contacts deleted.
    There is a way to specify in OVI suite which copy gets preference meaning whether what is on the phone is reflected on OVI suite vice versa. If you use the first option if the phone has 5 contacts and OVI 200 once you finish the SYNC OVI will have only 5. It works in the same way in reverse if you do it the other way. But I am not sure whether the setting is to be set in the sync settings on the phone or on OVI suite I never had much success with this setting I always ended up duplicating or deleting contacts as I never really bothered to really figure out how it works.
    Hope this helps

  • How can i move contacts from other accounts (eg: gmail,hotmail etc) to icloud account.

    Hi All,
    I have setup icloud in my Iphone 6 running 8.1.2. and it is logged in by enabling Contacts in icloud settings. My contact list contains 1718 Contacts. I manually backed up my data into icloud including my contacts without Passbook & Documents data. But when i logged into iCloud.com to see the contacts it is not there.
    I also find when i checked only the Icloud contacts "there are no contacts showing in my contact list". I think this is the reason why there is no contacts in icloud web too. Then how can i move contacts from other accounts (eg: gmail,hotmail etc) to icloud.

    I assume you're using GMail as your primary e-mail account?  Try this.  This is how I am setup.  Not only will it move all your contacts to your phone but any changes made in GMail or on the iPhone will be sync'd with the server.

    Note... I think this will delete your existing contacts from your device.  You will want to use iTunes to back them up and get them imported into GMail before you sync your device wtih GMail.

    Bad mistake. You shouldn't have used your Apple ID on his phone. And you made it worse because now the contacts are gone, as you deleted them from your phone, they got deleted on iCloud. Your husband should have his Apple ID.
    There is really no way of recovering the deleted contacts unless you backed up using iTunes and even then you will only be able to recover those contacts that were on a call list. Read here:

    I don't believe there's much you can do about it...have a look at the "More Like This" pane on the right side of this page.
    One way though to eliminate the issue (although not a very good way) is to restore the phone as new.
