HT3529 how to delete phone numbers that auto complete in messages

when I type a letter in a message an old number appears. I want to delete those numbers. How?

Restoring your phone as a new device or Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings is the only way to remove this data from your phone. You either do that, or you live with it.

How to edit phone numbers in contacts for text messages

My number is blocked so others can't see my phone number. In order to unblock my number for friends and relatives, I added *82 in front of those phone numbers in my contact list to override the block and show my number. So here's the problem -- when I want to send a new text message to someone in my contact list (whose number is preceded by *82), I need to edit the number to remove those extra characters in order to be able to send a text message to them. Is there any way I can edit the phone number from within the messaging function?
Thanks.

I am havng a similar problem that I can't figure out. I have mutiple numbers for each contact. i.e. mobile with *82, mobile without *82 for texting, home number, work number etc... I would like for them to come up in a spicific order. The two mobile numbers first and then home and work. That way I can get to the mobile numbers first as those are most used. Also so to save time knowing that all contacts are in the same order. So far it has been random for each contact. Some come up mobile first either with or without *82, others come up home first and some come up work first. I have tried deleting the entire contact and starting over thinking that the first number you enter becomes the primary. That didn't work. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

Delete phone numbers permantently even off of icloud

How can I delete phone numbers off of iCloud? I wish not to have a backup!

The Contacts app on iCloud is not technically a back up but a means to sync it's data between devices. Turn Contacts off in the iCloud settings on all your devices selecting the option to keep a copy on the device when prompted. Double check, be sure Contacts is turn off the iCloud settings in all devices. Then from a web browser on a computer go to www.icloud.com and delete all contacts from the iCloud app.
Contacts is still a part of the iOS devices backup when it is in iTunes or iCloud. If you don't want this backup on iCloud turn it off in Settings/iCloud/Storage & Backup turning off iCloud Backup. It will then backup to a computer through iTunes.

When space get's that low, you won't be able to download a movie. Delete things from your iPad you don't use or need. Memory hogs are unused apps, pictures, music, videos. Almost anything you take off iPad can be put back on. So delete some things to create enough space.

My Iphone 4s is not deleting phone numbers permanently. I will go in to delete them, however, the phone still has them saved. I can see this when I go to text people. What do I need to do to turn this off? I'm sure it is simple.

How do you delete an iBook that never completely downloaded? I want it gone

I'm having the same problem. The book downloaded in iBooks on the computer, but not on the iPad. It seems to be stuck. When I try "Edit" in purchased books, I can't select the book that hasn't completely downloaded. I've tried synching manually, deselecting it, reselecting it, but nothing works. I've done a hard restart on the iPad a couple of times but I still can't get rid of it.

How can I stop safari from auto completing url's on my iphone 4 and ipad2? On both devices I have cleared history, I have gone into settings-safari-and cleared history and cleared cookies & data, tried turning my devices on and off and I also have private browsing turned on. Both devices are operating on iOS 5. When I type in a url I don't want anything to show and auto complete. Any suggestions?

This indicates corrupt files.
A restore should resolve.

How to delete old addresses that appear in auto complete list in iMessage

Mavericks 10.9.1
iMessage Version 8.0 (4218)
MBP Late 2011
When typing in the name of a contact I want to message, a list of addresses appears as an auto-complete/auto-fill list.
One address is no longer used and I would like to delete that particular address.
The address is not on the contact card.
I'm sending a message via iMessage to another iMessage verified address on an Apple device(s).
My iCloud contacts are synced correctly with iphone/ipad/MBP.
Thanks

First, search Contacts to make sure the address doesn't appear on any card. If it doesn't, continue.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.iChat
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Quit the application if it's running. Move the selected item to the Trash. Relaunch the application and test.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

How do i retrieve deleted phone numbers on iphone 3g

how do i retrieve a deleted phone call

Define "deleted phone call." Do you mean recent call listing or voicemail?
In either case, the only way to recover it is to restore a backup which contained call listing or voicemail. If they were not backed up before deleting, it's gone for good.

My android 2.3 upgrade deleted phone numbers and won't let me edit some of my contacts now.

My Android 2.3 upgrade deleted contacts, deleted some random phone numbers, gave me text and email options for people when it eliminated needed phone numbers. It now has contact from Facebook and yahoo... and I can't seem to edit these and add in the phone numbers it deleted. I need help!!! I am soo frustrated with this new upgrade, I have barely used my phone for days now!! How do I fix this?

LadyLaRee, I can understand how losing contacts can be frustrating! First, which Android do you have? If you have numbers from Facebook, those cannot be edited because the information is coming from the user's Facebook profile. Also, your contacts from Yahoo may only have the email address which is why it is showing that way. They would need to update the number on their profile. The settings will vary by phone, but if you open your contacts, press the Menu button, you will normally have options for View or something similar. You can select which contact groups you want to show or not. Verify which options are checked. You can deselect Facebook or Yahoo if you choose. You will also have an option to only display contacts with phone numbers.
