I can't edit or delete contacts on galaxy 3.

I just purchase galaxy3 yesterday.
Sales lady transfered my contacts from my old phone to galaxy 3.
I can't edit or delete the contacts.
"you cannot delete contacts from read-only accounts, but you can hide tehm in
contacts" that is the message.
I can add new phone # w/o any problem.
What should I do?

Does it say anywhere in the contact information view where the contacts were saved? Google, phone, SIM card, Facebook or something else?

Hello, How can I edit or delete a custom label in the contacts list on iOS 7.0.3 on iPhone 4S ?
i need it so muchhh!

Sort of depend on what you are trying to do precisely. In Edit mode, if you tap on any label, you will be given a list of options, plus an Add Custom Label option near the bottom of the list

IOS 6 creates custom labels and save them giving you the option to delete them.
IOS 7 creates custom labels but don't save them, so there is no need to have the option to delete them.
But here comes the problem, if you have some custom labes saved in you Iphone / Ipad with IOS 6 and you update it to IOS 7, the device will keep those labels saved, but you wont be able to delete them.
I realized this by going to contacts on Icloud. There those labels that I had on my devices weren't there. So simply restoring your device and configuring it as a new one to later sync your Icloud Contacts, will solve the problem.
I know this post is old, but I might just try this with iOS 8. I have outdated custom labels that annoy me, because I still seem them in the list as options. If I get desperate enough, I may try your solution.

Since I moved to iCloud I can't Edit or Delete Address Book Contacts using my MacBook Pro

Is not funny at all, everything was fine using Mobile Me but since I switch to iCloud I can't Edit or Delete my Address Book Contacts using my MacBook Pro or my MacPro.
In my MacBook Pro, i open Address Book and on the left I have te list of all contacts, on the right the selected contact informations, below I only have "Add Contact" or "Share", my friend have "Edit" instead of "Add Contact".
If I click on "Add Contact" this is the result:
Are you sure you want to import 1 card? 1 card is a duplicate and will be updated.
Everything fine using my iPhone or the website.
Apple, what's going on?

Here is some information and instructions from Apple:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3998
Please note that iCloud is geared towards being an instantaneous (and in some cases temporary) parking place for various things with iDevices; the access and useability from a computer is more difficult and, for most things, has to be done via the website icloud.com.

How can I edit and delete IOS 7 IPAD safari favorites?

In IOS7/Ad safari, how can I edit or delete safari favorites?
Thanks!
Alan

Thank you so much! This solved my problem.
I wish Apple made this sort of thing more accessible in its documentation somewhere. I Google'd extensively but was unable to find anything relevant.
Thanks much again!
Alan
P.S. -- I assume there's no way to delete multiple bookmarks/favorites simultaneously (I did it one at a time)...

Solution: iMac Address Book - Issues when Editing or Deleting Contacts

Is there a way to select a bunch of similarly posted questions and propose to "ALL" an answer or solution?
Hardware & Version: I have the iMac OS X Lion 10.7.4 (as of this writing)
Every so often, after updates, there seems to be rights issues with some apps, such as Address Book and iTunes, especially for iMacs with one or more non-admin accounts.
But somehow, even using the Admin account to give Read/Write access to some relevant user folders (AddressBook folder of that user in this case) does nothing to allow the editing or deleting of those contacts.
Here is the solution that worked for me, without losing all my contacts: (just in case, backup all files and contacts prior to these steps...)
1 - open Address Book app
2 - right-click a contact that you cannot edit or delete
3 - select "Spotlight: <contact name>"
4 - Finder will open and show all files pertaining to that contact (select View as Columns from the menu)
5 - find the file that has "Address Book Card Data" next to the "Kind" value (the file icon will look like those Roladex cards)
6 - right-click the file and select "Open Enclosing Folder"
7 - another Finder window opens to show the Metadata folder location of the file
8 - now stretch the window until you see the AddressBook folder containing the Metadata folder
9 - Quit Address Book app
10 - right-click the AddressBook folder and select "Move to Trash"
11 - launch the Address Book app
You should now be able to edit and delete contacts.

Can't edit or delete some photos

iPhoto has got me scratching my head. I've got a few photos that I can't edit or delete. I ran the iPhoto permission, library, and thumbnail rebuilds without any success. I looked at the file permissions and I have r/w.
One odd thing is that I can see them in a smart album that matches a keyword but if I click on Library/Photos and search on the keyword, the problem photos don't appear. The smart album contains both problem and non-problem photos.
If I export/import a problem photo (losing the keywords in the process), the new version is fine. So I'd just do that but I can't delete the originals so they'd be hanging around forever
Any ideas?

Willaim
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

How can i get my deleted contacts in my iphone 4s without itunes and icloud backup

how can i get my deleted contacts in my iphone 4s without itunes and icloud backup

If you connect your iPhone to a computer running Linux (Ubuntu version in my case) it will become recognized as a normal USB memory pen-drive.
From there, you can use many methods to recover your lost deleted files.
TestDrive allows you to search the drive (iPhone memo) and gives you the possibility to recover deleted files. I'm not an expert, nor did it with iDevice by myself. But it worked for me with Symbian phone (Nokia)...
Alternatively:

Hi,
If you activate match on your new laptop, you will have access to all music that you matched or uploaded. You have the option to retain the music by downloading to your computer. If you delete music, it will delete from cloud.

How do you disable "FILE IN USE" pop-ups so you can actually edit and delete PDFs?!

Can someone please help me with this query:
How do you disable "FILE IN USE" pop-ups so you can actually edit and delete PDFs?!
I continue to have a pop saying that either the file in open somewhere in the serve- which it is not- and I cannot delete a particular pdf or edit it.
It's incredibly frustrating and in the end I end up having four files with different names because it won't let me edit the original file!!!!

Hi Amila1,
Are the pdfs stored on a network location?
If so is the Preview pane turned ON?
Please check the doc: http://kb.globalscape.com/KnowledgebaseArticle10862.aspx

I can't edit or delete mail messages on my iphone 5

I can't edit or delete mail messages on my iphone. The edit icon at the top of the inbox is there and when pressed I can select messages but can't go further - the icon to delete has disappeared and the message that was selected deselects itself.
I already tried to restore my iPhone, this didn't help.

I have iPhone 4S and have had the same problem since I upgraded to iOS 7. I could only send and receive from iPhones.
I tried everything that was suggested. Nothing worked.
I called AT&T this morning. Turns out, iOS 7 cancelled my text messaging plan!!!! I was able text to other iPhone users because of iMessage. They turned my texting plan back on and I can now text everyone again!!
