I can't delete contacts I synced from Facebook

I am trying to sort out my contacts and I can't seem to be able to delete contacts that I imported from Facebook. It won't let me click on the delete button like it does for normal contacts. Any help would really be appreciated.

If they were placed on the phone via iTunes sync from a computer you delete them by syncing again using the following instructions from Sync photos to your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch in iTunes - Apple Support
Delete synced photos
In iTunes, locate and click on your device.
Click Photos.
Choose "Selected albums" and deselect the albums or collections you want to delete.
To delete all synced photos, deselect "Sync Photos from" and, when asked, click "Remove photos."
Click Apply.

  • How can I get contacts to update from Facebook if I have them in my email account as well?

    Hello,
    I'm running iOS 8 on my iPhone 6.  I have contacts coming down from several email accounts as well as Facebook.
    For contacts that exist both from an email account and Facebook, the Facebook data doesn't sync down.  So I don't get, for example, people's pictures.
    For people that I have only in Facebook, everything is working fine. 
    It's not an issue of duplication either, because I'm not seeing multiple entries that I can link.  My wife, for example, only shows up from my email account's contact, and I know she uses the same email address and name I have stored for her on Facebook, but I can't see her Facebook name, messenger ID, or photo from Facebook.
    When I go into Facebook settings and force a contacts sync, it says 0 contacts were updated.
    Any other ideas?
    Thanks!

    No iOS 7 for 4G iPod
    As Apple said in June, iOS 7 is not compatible with the 4G iPod. Not enough RAM
    All the iOS devices compatible (iPhone 4 and later, iPad 2 and later, and 5G iPod touch) with iOS 7 have at least 512 MB of memory (RAM). The 4G iPod only has 256 MB
    Apple will only give you a 10% recycling discount if you turn in an old iPod when you purchase a new one. Better off selling it yourself.

  • Deleting contacts or groups from address book impossible

    How can I delete contacts or groups from my address book? The corresponding menu items "delete contact" or "delete group" are greyed. Pressing the "delete" buttom only works for contacts. But the deleted contact isn't really erased. There remains an untitled contact at the end of the list that I cannot delete. Not very nice :-(
    Does anybody knows some help?

    I can't recreate that on my Mac, so I suspect something got corrupted in your preferences.
    Quit Contacts.
    Go to your Finder "Go" menu hold the option key to choose "Library".
    Then go to yor Preferences folder and and drag com.apple.AddressBook.plist to your Desktop.
    Relaunch Contacts and test.

  • Have ios7.Can I undue contact sync from facebook and linkedin?

    I have the iphone 4s, running iOS 7.03. Is there aneasy way to undue a contact sync from Facebook and Linkedin? Thank you.

    Yes. Try this.
    Open the Facebook app and go to your Friends section.
    At the top right, tap the arrow button then select "sync contacts".
    This will upload iphone contacts to facebook and download facebook contacts on to the iphone.
    Here is a link for more info (although the facebook app in that link is an older version)

    If you mean that it has the 90 day association : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627
    then you can either wait for the 90 days to complete, or you can try contacting iTunes Support and see if they can remove the association : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • How can I delete a photo folder from my iphone 4s?

    how can I delete a photo folder from my iphone 4s?

    Hey Ravengirlaa,
    Great question! The answer is going to depend on how the photos were originally organized:
    A) The albums were synced to your iPhone from iTunes
    B) The albums were manually created on your iPhone from photos in the Camera Roll
    The following excerpt would apply for situation B:
    excerpt from page 71 of the iPhone User Guide - http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
    If the photos were synced from your computer, please refer to this article (section "To delete photos and videos from your device"):

  • How can I delete my icloud account from my iphone, since it doesn't synch with my ipad?

    How can I delete my icloud account from my iphone 4, since it doesn't sync with my ipad mini?

    Go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address (you shouldn't need to verify the old account).  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

    how can i delete an icloud accout from iphone 5 (ios 7.0.4)and insert a new one ???

    You'll need to contact the previous owner to get them to remove the account.
    There is no way to bypass this security feature. If you can't contact the previous owner you have wasted your money and have a phone you'll never be able to use.

  • How can I delete this U2 album from my iPhone it's not letting me do it like I normally do

    How can I delete this U2 album from my iPhone it's not letting me do it like I normally do

    King Penguin,
    Your response does not address the actual question.
    The issue is that once downloaded to a device (iPhone) etc. It cannot be deleted via any means. Went through troubleshooting with Apple on phone last night and they're puzzled by it... it's getting sent to their engineers.
    The larger issue is that the album downloads AUTOMATICALLY when you have your purchases synced, on wifi, and listening to music on full shuffle.
    Telling people to just "hide it" and change your phone's settings to not sync is a pretty big "whoopsie" by Apple and Apple Support Community members.
    BAD MOVE APPLE!

  • I can't delete 2 photo albums from my Ipad 2...  What am I doing wrong?

    I can't delete 2 photo albums from my Ipad 2...  What am I doing wrong?  I go to the photo app, then albums and 2 show up, I tap edit and nothing happens...  I just want to delete these...

    How did they get on the iPad ? Only albums created directly on the iPad can be deleted via the Edit button.
    Albums/photos that were synced from your computer can't be deleted directly in the Photos app - you either need to move/remove/de-select them from where they were synced from on your computer and re-sync, or you might be able to delete all synced photos/albums by swiping across the 'Photo Library' line in Settings > General > Usage > Photos & Camera (that should give you a Delete button, but I haven't tried tapping it to see if it works).

    This solved my questionRe: Why is Contacts delete greyed out?     Sep 21, 2012 4:52 AM    (in response to Reefberry) 
    First make backup of the Contacts by going to the File menu, Export, Contacts Archive.
    Then, delete this file:
    ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/AddressBook-v22.abcddb
    That is an index database that gets recreated automatically. It appears to be corrupt.
    The ~ means your user home folder. You can get to the user Library by holding down the Option key and selecting Library from the Go menu in Finder.

    What do you mean by "renamed" the account?
    Have you went to Settings>iCloud and deleted the account from the iPod and then signed back in with the "renamed" account?

  • How can I delete all my music from my iPhone 4s

    How can I delete all the music from my iPhone?

    I finally went to Apple Care tech support (the best!) for help.
    Plug your phone into the computer.
    I-Tunes should open.
    Toward the top left of the page, click on the small I-Phone icon.
    Select Music in the sidebar.
    In the right window, your music should appear.
    De-select what you don't want, then click Sync.
    Voila.
