HT204150 Deleting contact from iclouds

How do I permanently delete a contact from iclouds? I've deleted the number from my phone book and text messaging history but they still pop up when I'm sending a message. Thank you.

The text messge cache is separate from your contacts.  The only way to clear it is to restore your phone as new without using your backup.  This is not related to iCloud.

  • Delete contacts from icloud, but not from iphone

    I want to delete all my contacts and calendar appointments from iCloud, but not from my iphone, and i still want to have iCloud turned on in the future.
    I have tried to delete the iCloud account from my iphone but when i log in to iCloud.com from a computer the contacts are still there even though i deleted the iCloud account.
    How do i remove these things only from iCloud?

    I fixed it, i had to turn off the syncing of the contacts and the calendar on the phone and then delete them from iCloud. Obviously if i turn on the syncing of these items again the contacts and calendar appointments will reappear in iCloud.
    So problem solved.

  • HT204150 My Contact from ICloud imports only the name but not every thing else. But that only happens with my own card

    My Contact from ICloud imports only the name but not every thing else if I want to import it to Contact on my Mac. But that only happens with my own card.
    Before, my V-Card in Contacts on my Mac was ok, but now it disappeared. When I try to import it from ICloud only my name appears.
    Can anyone help me? Thanks

    The backup of your iPod Touch would include your camera roll photos.  Restoring the backup to another iPod Touch or iPhone would recover them.  Photos will not be restored by restoring the backup to an iPad.
    Note: Apple deletes iCloud backups after 180 days of inactivity so be sure to do this before then.

  • HT204150 After upgrading to Windows 8, in my Outlook 2007 Contacts I now have "Contacts in iCloud" and "Contacts from iCloud".   How can I merge the two into one Contacts list.

    After upgrading to Windows, in my Outlook 2007 Contacts I now have "Contacts in iCloud"  plus "Contacts from iCloud".  How can I merge the two to avoid duplication.

    Hi Ingo 2711,
    Thank you for your suggestion.  I backup on itunes. I went to itunes, deleted syncing my contacts, then re-synced them. But the Facetime capability option continues to be there on most (not all, for some curious reason) of my contacts. I am not sure I posed my question correctly.  I want to be able to FT with my family, so don't want to delete the FT capability totally from my iphone and ipad. But I don't want all these other iphone calls from various contacts to ring on my ipad as FT calls.  I want a way to select with whom I have FT capabilities. Any further suggestions? Thanks much, trekpal

  • Deleted duplicate contacts from icloud and want to sync updated contacts to iphone and ipad?

    Can anyone help with this?
    Deleted duplicate contacts from icloud and want to sync updated contacts to iphone and ipad?  Did it on icloud cause have duplicates on ipad and iphone also

    Check icloud.com to be sure you contact list is correct there.  If it is, just go to Settings>iCloud on your device and turn Contacts to On to sync the contacts to your device.  If contacts are already set to On and you still see duplicates, you may be viewing a duplicate contact group in addition to the iCloud contacts.  Open Contacts, tap Groups, then tap any groups other than iCloud to uncheck them, then tap Done.  See if the duplicates are still there.

  • HT5824 How can I delete all my contacts from icloud with a single command?

    I would like to delete all my contacts from iCloud so when I synchronize with my other devices, the one I already have don't be duplicated or deleted

    If you delete all your iCloud contacts, then enable contact syncing with your other devices, the empty iCloud contacts are likely to overwrite the contacts on your other devices and you will lose them.
    Do you have a master list of contacts on one of your devices that you are trying to replace the iCloud contacts with?

    when I delete all my contact from iCloud, How I can restore them?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    To restore from a back up made through iTunes, follow these instructions.
    To restore from a back up made through iCloud, try the following:
    The difficulty in restoring iCloud data from a back up is that the back up is older than the current version on iCloud and anything that is restored gets removed again when an iCloud sync occurs.
    Ensure the device is connected to your local network.
    Start the restore from iCloud back up.
    Allow the devices settings to restore (watch for the confirmation of completion).
    As the apps begin to restore pull the connection to your router WAN port (the one that goes to the telephone point).
    Wait for the time out confirmation.
    Navigate to settings > iCloud and turn off contact syncing (keep contacts when prompted).
    Reconnect the router to the internet and let the restore process complete.
    Delete any iCloud contacts from iCloud.com on a computer.
    Navigate to settings > iCloud and turn on contact syncing (merge contacts when prompted).
    May I suggest that you carry out a back up to iTunes before you try anything, that way should things become even worse, you can at least restore back to where you are now.

    how can i sync contacts from icloud to my iphone from pc

    I just went to icloud-contacts- OFF.  It asks if I want to keep my contacts on the phone and I said yes.
    Thanks so much.  Saved me a ton of time.
    One thing I noticed though is for my name, it used to have an image of a person.  That is gone now on my phone but on my computer.  Is that only in iCloud?
