HT4623 how do I delete a contact not listed in the phone

So I've been having various issues with iphones since I was foolish enough to purchase this inferior product, I have a contact in my phone we will call Sally Example. Sally Example is saved in my phone as 111-111-1111. This is a correction from the orginal save where she was listed as 111-111-1112. However when I search for Sally Example I'm displayed both phone numbers. When I look at the contact only the correct number is listed. This issue only really occurs when I'm in the process of creating a new text message and begin typing the name.
So the screen looks like this:
                                                                                                    New Message                                             Cancel
To: Sally Example                                                                                                                                               +
Sally Example                                                                                                                                                 Cloud Icon
Mobile     +1(111) 111-1111
Sally Example
Other      +1(111) 111-1112
Why does it do this? How do I fix it?

If the book is in the cloud, then it isn't on your device and isn't able to be deleted.

  • How to search for a font not listed in the Fonts window

    I'm unable to create a PDF of an older document built by someone who doesn't work here anymore (so I can't ask how they built it). The PDF starts to generate but it takes longer than usual then right before the last page, it stops and I get a log telling me that it can't generate the PDF because of a problem with a Frutiger-Roman font. We don't use that font so I'm not sure where it would be. Also, when I look in the Fonts pod window, it's not listed.
    Is there a way to search a document to find a font that isn't listed in the Fonts pod window?
    Thanks

    Sounds like it's coming in with an import, which is probably an image, but could also be a text inset.
    I've seen this happen with DWG, DXF, EPS and EPSI imports. I'd expect it to be possible with PDF imports, as well as any formatted text inset.
    It could even be an empty string. You can't find any text, but the declaration got triggered anyway.
    Most image formats that can include fonts can be opened in Adobe Illustrator. You can then Select > Object > Text Objects and see what's there (or not). If AI throws "some objects have been outlined", you've located the offending file for sure.

        Thanks so much for providing that information sidmorgy. There are options available to do a media retrieval that may provide help with retrieving available ring tones that were previously purchased. You can access the steps here http://vz.to/102YOjg to see if that option will work for you. Please keep us posted on the outcome.

  • How to install printer which is not listed in the software list

    I just bought Canon MX372 and I am having a hard time installing it. I have installed the software that came with it and yet I can't add it as printer?
    It is always giving me a msg to update the software and when I accept to update it takes a minute and then says software is not available?!!
    any idea what is going on?

    Okay.
    First, got any third-party login items? If so, disable them (and list here for info).
    Got any other third-party software that might impact printing?
    Then try this:
    Keep the installer or dmg you just downloaded from Apple if you haven't already trashed it.
    If you haven't done so, repair permissions on startup drive and reset PRAM.
    Then go to Print & Scan prefs and delete any printers.
    Then go to Macintosh HD/Library/Printers. (You will have to enter password to authorize this)
    Restart.
    Be sure printer is connected (hard wired, not wireless) and turned on.
    Then reinstall Canon drivers downloaded from Apple, restart, and attempt to install printer.

  • I'm having trouble with my contacts.  The contacts are listed but the phone numbers are no longer there.  Can someone help?

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    I recommend that you attempt to boot into Safe Mode:
    KB17877 How to start a BlackBerry smartphone in Safe Mode
    It may take you multiple attempts to get the ESC key sequence (press/release/hold) correct, so be patient. When successfully into Safe Mode, see what happens.
    If the behavior ceases, then think carefully...what happened just before this behavior started? A new app? An update? A Theme? Something else? Think carefully as the smallest change could be causal...and attempt to undo whatever that was.
    But if the behavior continues in Safe Mode, then you may need to consider more drastic actions -- WIPE, OS Reload, BBSAK Wipe/Reload, and the "Bare Bones" OS Reload Process. To prepare, you should be sure that you have a full backup to your PC...please review the Backup link in my auto-sig on this post for instructions.
    Good luck and let us know!

  • How do I delete email addresses not in my contact list?

    My phone seems to be storing every email address I send to. When I create a new message and start to type in an address it brings up every email address I have ever sent to including those I only used one time. How do I delete these email addresses and prevent the phone from storing addresses not in my contacts?

    I posted something on this a few months ago. Hopefully Apple updates the OS to allow for editing the cache. I have done it in Mail on my mac for years when the list stores old and/or outdated email addresses. It is definitely nice to be able to clean this list up so that A) you don't make mistakes, and B) you don't have to sift through a bunch of useless email addresses in order to get to the one you are looking for.
    It is especially annoying when you have an email address that has a mistake in it, such as having one letter off by accident. Then, it is stored forever and you have to avoid choosing it every time you want to send to that recipient.
    I really hope Apple fixes this simple issue with an update. One thing that I can't quite figure out is why the iPhone engineers didn't build into the iPhone some of the great features of the Mac. Another example of this is in Contacts. Contacts is like Address Book, but it doesn't quite let you do everything that Address Book Does. Don't get me wrong because it is close. For example, when you want to add a new field, you don't have the same amount of the choices on the iPhone that you have in Address Book. Now why should this be? How hard could it be (and what problems could possibly arise out of) making these the same? What is the point of MobileMe and instant syncing if when creating a new contact on your iPhone, you still have to go into Address Book and add information? Also, why shouldn't you be able to store the same amount of information in your iPhone Contacts that you store in your Macs Address Book?
    For a company like Apple who is so detailed oriented to overlook these kinds of details is confusing to me.

  • HT4865 how do i delete a contact on i phone 5

  • How to I delete all contact on my iPhone at once. These are contacts ABOVE the contact folder that says From My Mac. I do not want to erase all of the other settings and content from my iPhone -- just the contacts.

    How to I delete all contact on my iPhone at once? These are contacts ABOVE the contact folder that says, "From My Mac."
    Someone said create a new empty folder on the computer and sync to that -- didn't work .
    Another person said, "Reset information in settings to restore to the default." That would erase ALL of the conetent I have on the phone and I do not want to erase all of the other settings and content from my iPhone -- just the contacts.
    There has to be a better way than gong through and deleting one-by-one.

    Go into Settings...Mail, Calendar and Contacts and siwtch off the Contacts section from the account in question.
    The phone should ask you if you want to keep or erase the contacts stored on you phone.
    However, if they aren't synched to anything and only exist on your iPhone, you'll have to delete them all one by one

    How do you delete all contacts on iPhone 4S? I have tried to sync and end up w/duplicates and now triplicates. 4,000 contacts have now turned into 12,000 contacts!! I "upgraded" to Lion and hate it - it was so much easier before. I managed to delete on MacBook (to start from scratch there), but cannot delete from iphone or ipad. I am so frustrated! Please help

    Hi Cynthia!  If you are syncing from something like Gmail you can go into the iPhones Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>(account you are syncing)> and turn off contacts. It will ask you if you want to delete them from your phone - just click delete.  Exit Settings and turn phone off by power button (not all the way OFF).  Then re-open Settings>mail, Contacts, Calendars>(account you are syncing)> and turn Contacts back on - This is where you need to be careful - When you turn contacts back on you will be prompted to delete or save the contacts already on your phone. CLICK DELETE.  You should now have only your synced contacts on your phone!  Hope it helps!

  • How do I delete    all contacts (at one time) from i      phone4

    Somehow I have gotten mutilple listing in contacts.  How do I delete all contacts from I phone and start over?

        baprawski,
    Is there a particular reason why you want to delete the contacts all at once? The only way you can delete all the contacts all one time would be to wipe the device. This will complete erase all data on the phone including the contacts.
    You want to make sure you backup your device uisng the desktop manager. Once you perform the wipe you can then backup your contacts using the desktop manager and just make sure to uncheck the Contacts when backing up so they are not added back to your phone.

  • How can I delete a contact and an empty group from iPad 2?

    I downloaded the iPad 2 User's Guide, but its instructions for deleting a contact do not work. I cannot scroll down and find a Delete button to click. Also, there is an untitled group on my iPad 2 (which is not on the iMac to which I sync the iPad 2). How can I deleted this annoying untitled group? The user's guide has nothing about groups in its index or under Contacts.

    Oh dear. I Reset the iPad, and it made me set it up again, like I did when I first got it. When I got to the choice of "Set Up as New iPad" or "Restore from iTunes Backup," I chose "Restore from iTunes Backup." Then I tried to sync it with iTunes. iTunes gave me no error message, but the iPad is stuck on the screen that says, "Connect to iTunes," even though it IS connected to iTunes. Is this because I cannot connect to a wifi zone? I'm hardly ever in a wifi zone. I don't have access to one right now. Does this mean I can't use my iPad until I find a free wifi zone to connect to?

  • HT5465 how can i delete a contact ( or all contacts ) from i phone ios7 ?

    how can i delete a contact ( or all contacts ) from i phone - ios7.0.2  ?

    The fact that those internal contacts lists aren't editable is an irritation to many. I've submitted feedback to Apple several times on this, asking that in a future OS release they should either
    Provide a way to directly access that list of 'Recent Addressees' and Delete unwanted ones, or
    If not that, then at least mode it so that addressses selected from that list bubble up to the top, therefore over time moving the unused ones down out of sight.
    Other have added their own ideas, and the more they hear on this topic the more likely a future fix will become. If you feel that you would like the change, then put together your best case for it and make your wishes known directly to apple via their established Feedback links:
