IPad contacts remained even if I removed them by deleting mail account

I saw that I have duplicates of contacts in my contact book, so I deleted the mail account, and also to remove all contacts. The mail account was deleted but the contacts remained. How do I zap all the contacts in order to start afresh?

I recently added Contacts to my iCloud account. I had previously not used that feature.  So, once I enabled that, I realized that I had problems.
I have 961 contacts showing in my address book on my Mac.  But only 619 in iCloud.  I have several groups in my Mac address book and also on my iCloud account.  Somehow I have failed to transfer contacts from my phone and Mac to iCloud.  Not sure how that happened.  But, I want them all to be there. 
Maybe this will make my issue a little clearer.

    Set it up again. If you didn't delete anything from the mail server, everything should sync right back up.

    Hello there inkystephens,
    It sounds like you are needing to sync your iCloud contacts that came from Outlook in the first place back to Outlook. The Outlook section of the following article should help you do that:

  • I've had three laptops all connected to my itunes account, one was stolen, the other broke, how can I remove them from my itunes account?

    So, in three years, after getting an iphone and an apple account I've had to replace a laptop twice due to theft or damage. When I link my phone to my new computer, it asks me if I want to connect the computer with the phone and I say yes, but you can only have 5 devices connected to one account, since one was stolen, and the other laptop broke, how do I remove them from my account??

    De-authorise all, then authorise the one you still have.

  • I've just purchased an ipad2 and have synced it with outlook to get all contacts.  I've also set up my earthlink mail account and it sends/receives fine.  IS there a way to sync it so I get all of the legacy emails sitting in the OUtlook inbox?

    I've just purchased an ipad2 and have synced it with Outlook to get all contacts, etc.  I've set up the mail account and it is working just fine.  The sync doesn't pull over legacy emails from Outlook and my Outlook has been set up to remove them from the webmail server therefore they aren't available from webmail anymore.  Is there anyway to pull them over to the iPad? 

    But is there a way (simple or not-so-simple) to find
    out EVERY SINGLE FILE that's referenced on a
    timeline? (I have lots of stuff imported into the
    project that I know isn't used on any timeline, but
    I'm afraid of moving or deleting things for fear of
    never finding it again.)
    I'd love to get some sort of "printout" (a list or
    something) of every single file.
    There is, go to browser and cntrl click on any one of the columns,
    and select - show/source. A new column named "source" will pop up and will show where everything "lives". Click on the header at the top and it will justify the column as well. You'll notice this won't show anything for your seq.'s. of course, but will show stills/audio/motion files...
    Once you have the new column, you can drag it next to the "name" column and get a grab of it and print it if you like, or whatever.
    If you want to do this for just 1 seq., then can create a new bin and double click it to open it. Cntrl-A (select all) in your main seq. and just drag all into the new bin. You will see only what's in that seq. with the "source" column right next to it.
    From what I've read, you seem to get the MM thing and it's obviously what you'll need to do to archive as the guys said. But what your missing is a file path system to where everything resides.
    Hope this helps and that I've read you properly,
    Peace

  • I changed my Apple ID (new email address, same account), but when I try and use my iPad, it is asking me to sign out and delete the account, losing all data.  If I do this, will it all still be there on my new ID? Thanks.

    I changed my Apple ID (new email address, same account), via the Apple website on my laptop, but when I try log into ITunes on my iPad, it still has the old ID.  It is greyed out, so I can't change it.  On researching further,  it seems I have to sign out of iTunes and sign back in using new address.  Ok so far, but when I do this, it asks if I want to delete the account and any data on the cloud.  If I do this, and sign in with changed ID, will all the data be there Or will it be lost?  Thanks for any advice.

    Sounds like apps purchased from those accounts got synced to the iPod and it is asking to log into that account to update them.
    - Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
    - To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.
    What do yo see if yo go to the Updates Section of the App Store app?

  • How do I remove a duplicated e-mail account from m...

    Hello.
    I have just updated my N97 and expected to lose all my data in the process, so after the update when the phone asked for my e-mail account details, I entered them.
    Now I have two folders for my GMail account.
    How can I remove the duplicate, as I can find nothing in the options screens to delete, or remove
    Thanks,

    Guess what ?  I found a similar questio (and answer) on another thread, regarding an E65.
    It was just about the same method for the N97 - so Sorted !
    These phones are getting too darn complicated !

  • Delete mail account on iPhone without deleting contacts

    I can find no way to delete all mail at one time on my iPhone 5s with iOS 8.1.2 except to delete the account. Then I get the message that deleting the account will also delete the Contacts, Calendars, and Notes—which I do NOT want to do. So, two questions:
    1. Is there a way to delete all the mail at one time? Or at least one mailbox at a time?
    2. Is there a way to delete the account without deleting the Contacts, Calendars, and Notes?
    Thanks for any help you can give.

    I called Apple support and they managed to solve my problem
    They gave me the following instructions:
    1. Go to appleid.apple.com, press "Manage your Apple-ID" and write in your current apple-id and password.
    2. Change your primary mailadress to your OLD mailadress (your old apple-id).
    3. Log on to your old email and confirm.
    4. Now you can write your ordinary password on iCloud in your iPhone, using your old apple-ID.
    (Settings > iCloud)
    5. If you would like to keep that apple-ID, you don't have to do anything else. If you rather want the previous apple-ID, you first delete the account on your iPhone.
    6. Change back your primary email address as it was before (on appleid.apple.com), and log on to your email to confirm.
    7. Now you can type in your current apple-ID account on iCloud. (Settings > iCloud)
    This solved it for me anyways!
    Sorry for the bad english

  • How can you remove old conversations from the iMac. Even when I remove them they return when I start a new conversation with the same person. Only happens on iMac with the Beta iMessage program

    How do you remove an old conversation using  the Beta iMessage on an iMac. When I open a new conversation with the same person the old conversation comes back

    Hi,
    Previously iChat had tried a Last Chat/IM option when using Saved Transcripts - which itself was an option.
    iChat has also tried "Saving" the Last Chat by leaving a Chat window open and using something similar to the Lion method of showing an app in the state is was closed in.
    In Messages the option to Save Transcripts has been removed and Chats or all types are saved as a matter of course.
    What this tends to mean for your iChat style Buddy Chats is that it opens all the Transcripts  for that buddy as a sort of History you can scroll back through if you want  (I have  some Buddies with saved chats gong back to 2004)
    With the Syncing of iMessages with iPhones and iPads (or Touches) then it seems this works slightly differently.
    Although you can delete the chat and the contents of the Chat as separate action it is true that in the Beta as soon as you connect to the same Contact that the contents of the previous chats are shown to you.
    I have found that Messages stores a data base of info on iMessages in Your Home Folder/Library/Messages
    I have found that deleting this chat-db removes the "History" that keep popping up.
    By default the Saved "iChats" are also stored in the Home Folder/Documents/iChats (At least this is the default place iChat used and they go to the same iChats folder where ever you had it)
    Some people claim removing iMessages saved here stops the "History" reappearing.
    In Lion the only access to the Home Folder/Library is via the Finder's Go Menu and hiding down the ALT key

  • Deleting mail account does not completely remove all of its data from iPhone

    Hi
    I'm using iPhone 5S, iOS 8.1.3. I used a number of email accounts on the built-in Mail app and recently deleted one Gmail account. I thought that all its data will be removed from the iPhone, however, when I used the Spotlight Search, I found that the iPhone still retains some of the account's draft email. So I tried to add back the account to the Mail then delete it once again, but the draft email is still there, although these draft emails no longer exist in the actual Gmail account. I tried resending them but only ended up with sent mail that also refuses to get deleted (still found them on Spotlight) after deleting the Gmail account. Is there any way to remove these useless mail to free up space?

    This indicates corrupt files.
    A restore should resolve.
