How to remove 'On My iPhone' group

When I go to Contacts > Groups I have 'All Contacts', 'On My iPhone', 'GMail.'
I am more than happy letting GMail handling my contacts over-the-air, how can I remove the 'On My iPhone' group?
Under Settings > Contacts, I only have GMail syncing so that 'On My iPhone' shouldn't be there.

This usually means you are or were syncing contacts direct with a supported address book application on your computer via the iTunes sync process, which is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes. Doing both duplicates the contacts on your iPhone. To get rid of the "On My iPhone" Group, make sure syncing contacts is not selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes followed by selecting Apply.
On your iPhone, go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Select your Gmail Exchange account.
Turn Contacts off for over the air syncing.
You should be provided a warning message indicating this will remove all contacts downloaded from and being kept synchronized over the air with your Gmail online address book. You should also be provided a prompt to save these contacts locally on your iPhone. Decline this prompt.
Follow this by turning contacts back on for over the air syncing with your Gmail Exchange account on your iPhone. You should be provided a merge prompt to merge the "On My iPhone" contacts stored locally on your iPhone with your Gmail online address book. Select Merge.
This should get rid of all duplicates and the "On My iPhone" group.

  • How to remove apps on iphone permenantly

    Team,
    Please advise on how to remove apps from iphone 3GS permenantly. For example I have downloaded Skype from apps store and later since I did't like it I have unchecked it on my itunes and it doesn't show in my iphone. however in itunes / devices/iphone under apps it still shows. Is there  a way to remove it from there.
    Regards

    Have the same problem, but i found that if you go to music-itunes-mobile apps in the finder, then you can delete them yourself. This way the get removed from all the program lists in iTunes.
    Hope it helps.

  • How to remove App from iPhone, but not iPad

    I have an App that I would like to keep in my iTunes library, but only Sync to my iPad -- not my iPhone.  Right now, the App has been 'deselected' from my iPhone, but the associated file size did not decrease.  My iPhone still has 1GB more than I would like.  How can I remove the App and it's file from my iPhone, but preserve it on my iPad?  Thanks!

    Deselect it and sync.
    Is it still on your iphone?
    Apps are generally not that large.  I doubt you would notice much difference in memory used.
    Look on the iphone to see if the app is there.

  • How to remove "other" in iPhone storage

    I can see when I look at what is on my iPhone a category called "other".  What is it and how can I remove/reduce it, as is taking up valuable memory/storage?

    I found that you just can't remove this stuff. Other people said removing old messages, music, browser cache, facebook app, removing album arts, voice recorder, etc.
    Name the solution people suggested, and I've tried them all, and nothing really works. Stuff will come back again.
    Restoring as new iphone works initially to about 800MB for me, but it will get the Other to balloon to about 2GB for me after resync my photos, and music.
    I've submitted a feedback to Apple http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html perhaps there's a button to clear old/stale items in there. At least something to clear it out, and let the apps rebuild the index/databases, whatever they need to function. You should do the same, tell them.

  • Help on how to remove case on iPhone 6 Plus

    Hello, I bought the "Barely There" case from Case Mate for my iPhone 6 Plus, and the buttons on the side are terrible. So, I've found a new case I want to switch over to. The problem is, I can't get the case off. When I do get it to move, the phone starts to bend. I'm terrified that this phone will break, so I'm not sure what to due.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thank you in advance

  • How to remove prefix from AD group names in ldap auth. provider?

    Hi all,
    I'm using weblogic 10.3.5 and LDAP authentication provider for accessing microsoft AD.
    Group names in AD are created and look like this: PREFIX_basic_user, PREFIX_advanced_user...
    but enterprise roles in ADF application are created like this: basic_user, advanced_user...
    Is there a way to map AD groups to enterprise roles trough LDAP Authentication provider without adding PREFIX_ on enterprise roles in ADF application?
    Thanks in advance

    Powershell (or vbscript if you want to be old school).
    You can trigger a powershell script which will remove the offending user(s) easily enough with out resorting to a TOLDAP pass.  Nearly any script type thing would work but powershell is preferred.  It can be triggered separately from the TO AD stuff and will take multiple objects to run in one pass if you can construct the command line (or create a text file and feed it in).
    Otherwise, TOLDAP is the way to write to AD...

  • How to remove repeated entries of Group level details?

    My Crystal reports has three groups and layout is:
    GH1
    GH2
    GH3
    Details
    GF3
    GF2
    GF1
    I'm listing details under GF3. Is there a way I can control repeated listing of GH1 and GH2 data in different lines?
    e.g., my data column is: (zone, Bin, item name) and Zone is first level Group data, second level group data is at Bin level and third group is at item level.
    some record are like:
    (AZone, A1Bin, item1), (AZone, A1Bin, item2), (AZone, A2Bin, item3), by listing the details (zone, bin, Item) at GF3, my data is printed like this:
    AZone     A1Bin     item1
    AZone     A1Bin     item2
    AZone     A2Bin     item2.
    I want to print Zone and Bin level details only when these changes like:
    AZone      A1Bin     item1
              item2
         A2Bin     item3
    Any help on how can I achieve this? I don't want to pring Zone or Bin level details in seperate rows, these should appear together as listed above, also for fulfiling other requirements, I need to out data in GF3 section only.

    on that Common Tab it also has "Suppress if Duplicated",
    however, you would be far better off to work this out by tweaking
    the query (if you can) with joins and filters.
    Hope this helps,
