I want to delete all contacts

Just received a used unlocked Blackbrry pearl 8100 as gift. For now I only want to use it as phine and camera with contacts and calendar apps.
I have replaced the sim cardwith the card from my carrier and the phone is functioning. The previous ownerthagave me the phone left thousands of contacts in the phone. Is there a way to delete all of these easily and not one at a time? Thank you

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
As the recipient, you should wipe out all of the previous owners personal information using the WIPE command...see this KB:
KB14058 Delete all data and applications from the BlackBerry smartphone using the Wipe Handheld option
And, to head off any future issues, you should check with the prior owner to be sure that they have conducted all of their steps in this KB, especially those related to releasing the PIN from their carriers BIS system -- otherwise, you may never be able to configure your own email should you ever want to:

Good luck and let us know!

How to delete all contacts in thr e iPod Touch????

The synchronization with Outlook does not work properly: some contacts appears 2 times, some appears 3 times and some appears 4 times in the ipod.
And the sync hsa deleded several contacts in my Outlook.
So, I want to delete all contacts in the iPod and then do a new clean sync.
But I do not find an option to delete all contacts in the phone.

thanks,
this helped to reset the sync history.
But I still do not know how to delete all contacts in the ipod.

How to delete all contacts on my iPhoto 3 GS and start over

I ended up syncing to multiple sources and have massive duplicates in my iPhone 3 GS - I want to delete all contact on it and resync only to my exchange server at the office
I have turned off sync contacts on the iPhoto with both e-mail accounts (MobileMe and exchange) and have turned off all sync of contacts and calendar in iTunes - now I want to clear all contacts off of the iPhoto (there are almost 4000) and re-enable just exchange but can not find out how to do that in searching these forums or in the iPhoto help on Apple.com
How do I do this?

I inadvertantly sync'd both through iTunes and MobileMe when I got my 3GS. I found several posts/apple articles about backing up and deleting my contacts on my iMac. It sounded like a hassle with risks of losing them.
I restored my phone as a new phone. I did not restore from a backup as that would have restored the duplicates.
Once it was restored I had to re-sync everything. Obviously making sure that I was only syncing through MobileMe.

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

I want to delete ALL of the Contacts, and start fresh.

I want to delete ALL of the Contacts transfered from my iMac shortly after setting up my new iPad 4th Gen, so I can start a new Contact list that is better scaled down for my Face Time and eMail usage (without the other 900 business contacts). I cannot find a way to highlight the entire list and then do a single Delete. SInce I don't have Lion or higher on my iMac, I cannot do an iCloud sync to do the job. Any suggestions?

Yes there is. Those songs are not actually on your iPad. They are in iCloud ready for download if you choose to do so. If you want to remove them go to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Show All>Music>Off. You can also do this in Settings>Music>Show All Music>Off.

I want to delete all my contacts and resync..how do i do that?

i want to delete all of my contacts and resync to my yahoo ..how do i do that?

Hi,
I would imagine the best way would be to
connect your Ipad to your mac or pc
in the info page check the box next to "sync address book contacts"
tick "Yahoo address book contacts"
scroll to the bottom and under "advanced" check the box for contacts
sync
I strongly suggest a backup before you do all of this.
Let me know.

My iPhone cannot make or receive calls. I tried installing iTunes order to sync everything and restore, but I am getting 0x ... 084 errors, and it won't work. I do not want to delete all of my contacts. Any advice would be appreciated.

Oh, and I can't hook up my iPhone to iTunes because it's locked with a passcode. I can't begin to type the passcode because of this stupid "Restore Needed - can't send or receive calls" thing. This is beyond silly.

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.

i have deleted all contacts in icloud but still have them on my iphone (which is backed up as well to iTunes) how can i restore the iphone data to the iCloud so it will resend it to my mac book and iPad? I have switched my iphone to airplane mode so it is not connected to the internet and so icloud can not wipe it at the moment.
thanks roy

There's a menu choice (I think under "Files") that lets you sync purchased items on a device back to itunes. Look for that.
iCloud does not store music. If you want to do that you'd have to subscribe to itunes Match, but to get music to the match servers, you need the music in the itunes library on your computer.

I want to delete a contact from email contacts but cannot find contact in any contact list.

In the present iOS, it's all or nothing. You can suggest Apple add the ability to edit the call history log here:
