IPhone contact list reimporting deleted contacts

I keep deleting and consolidating Facebook contacts in my iPhone contacts list but it keeps reimporting them. I don't want all of these Facebook contacts in my iPhone contacts list. Is it possible to stop the phone reimporting deleted contacts?

but wouldn't i then lose all of the facebook contacts from my iphone contact list? I want to keep some of them and delete others.

Sounds like you activated one of the features of accessibility. Go to Settings, General, Accessibility, turn off Invert colors. Also check under Triple click to see if that is what is selected and you can turn that off as well.

Contact List Problem.   I have duplicates on my iPhone. I turned off my Contact and selected "Delete Contacts" Most of the contacts were deleted but about 120 were left on my phone.   I've tried selecting individual contacts and deleting them, No Go.
Can anyone help?   How do I get rid of these contacts so I can re-synch my iPhone.

I have exactly the same problem on my ipad. It is happening on only some contacts but, as with you, when I delete one of the contacts on the ipad, the second ipad contact and the contact on the imac are also deleted. This is even the case when I have differentiated the two contacts on the ipad and can see the one I have deleted on the ipad is not the same one as is then deleted on the imac.

How do I rename an email address contact list and delete an old one?

I want the names of my Contact Lists to reveal which one it is instead of the generic Personal or Contact List. I want to combine two of them into one but can't figure out how to delete the old one. It's probably really simple but evidently the solor flare-ups have rendered me incapable of figuring out things like this! Thanks!

hi DrBeverly, was this meant to go into the thunderbird section of the support forum?

[iPhone] Letter list like in Contacts App

Seeking i18n experts - and if you don't know what 'i18n' is then you aren't one
The Contacts app shows the letters A-Z on the list of contacts whether the contact list uses all of those letters or not. For fun I switched my iPhone's language to Russian and the letters on the contact list changed to an abbreviated list of the Cyrillic and Latin letters. It was abbreviated since the combined length of the two alphabets is too long to fit. Again it showed letters I didn't have corresponding contacts for.
OK, with that background, here's my question. For a given device's language setting / locale, how do I create the appropriate list of letters as shown in the Contacts app?
I've looked at all the NSString methods, NSCharacterSet, NSLocale and none seem to provide this list. There is a way to get something called an 'exemplar' character set from a locale but there is no way to extract the characters from a character set.
Any ideas?
So far I've taken the simple way out of just grabbing the first letter of all the entries in my table but that leaves out the letters that have no corresponding entry. And I don't want to hard code A-Z because then the app ***** for non-Latin alphabetic users.
P.S. Returning my phone back to English was a challenge since I had to pick the right Settings app menus with nothing but Cyrillic looking back at me

Rick,
seems like those indices are present as localized plists in the AddressBook.framework (look for ABContactSections.plist).
I guess you could either duplicate those plists into your app or try to access them directly in the framework (which most likely violates the SDK agreement…).

"Recent contacts" list showing old contacts

I see a lot of questions about removing contacts from the new "recent contacts" list, and a lot of solutions saying to hide the list altogether. however, there is only one contact I want to remove from the list because they are not recent. I found one solution stating that you remove them, search for their phone number in messages, click the i and then click "remove from recent contacts" but this does not work because all messages, email, phone calls, and facetime from this contact was so old that it has already been purged (thus I don't get the i when I enter the phone number). This is a business contact, so I need to keep her number, but there are a lot more recent contacts from the past 3 months that I would rather have on my recent contacts list because they are recent. Is it a software glitch that she is still showing up on my recent contacts list? Is there any way to remove this contact specifically without hiding the list altogether?
using iOS 8 on iPhone 5 and iPad 3rd gen

It is standard that the personal list is not updated.
it is personal, you have to update it yourself.

How to sync contact list and yahoo contact list and macbook pro address book without mobile me

How does one merge the contents of my verizon iphone contact list and my macbook address book and my yahoo contact list and have ongoing syncing without mobile me? thanks

THANK YOU! I have been using companion link up until you posted this. This makes it so much easier to keep my business contacts on my phone. Much faster too! I use the Exchange Server so I'm hoping by doing this, my contacts will be synced via wireless. I'll let you know if it works. Thanks again for the great post.

Sync Outlook Contact List and AOL Contact List

I have several Outlook Accounts and an AOL Account. I would like to combine my calendar and contact lists into a single one. When I sync my phone, will the sync process allow mw to do that? If so, how?

The iPhone supports syncing contact info and calendar events direct via the iTunes sync process with Outlook 2003 or 2007. It doesn't matter how many email accounts you are accessing with Outlook.
The iPhone's mail client supports accessing POP or IMAP accounts, and can access an Exchange account via ActiveSync, which Apple licensed from Microsoft for the iPhone's mail client.
You can access an AOL account as an IMAP account with the iPhone's mail client, which includes an AOL account preset that creates the account as an IMAP account.
If your AOL contact list is not available in your Outlook contact list, you needs to do so since the iPhone does not support syncing contact info with the AOL program's address book.

Contacts issues - send contacts to at&t phone book or sim card? and un able to unsync email contact list with phone contact list

I have had several issues with my contacts on this phone. I cannot figure out how to send my contacts to the at&t phone book or to my sim card. The options/menu button in contacts is completely useless. It should give me the option on the sim card to transfer contacts form one list to another. I have already written on another forum about the contact list not letting me unsync one of my email contact lists and how I have 3 copies of all of my contacts because my email contacts are mixed in with my phone contacts.
BB really needs to fix this issue with the contact list because it is beyond frustrating. I even downloaded the new BB software today and it still hasn't been fixed.

OK...so this post is strictly about wanting to send your contacts to the SIM. That capability is one at a time only. And there's a reason for that.
The BB Address Book is robust, allowing you to have one name with multiple phone numbers and addresses. The SIM phonebook, on the other hand, is much less capable...if, for instance, you have one contact with three phone numbers in your BB Address Book, the SIM phonebook would require three separate entries to contain the same data (with the obvious duplication of the name on three separate records).
So, I must ask...why on earth do you want to send your contacts to your SIM? There are much better methods for moving your contacts from the BB to somewhere else...

N73 Contact list showing Arabic contacts in jibber...

Hi,
hen I use PC Suit to view my phone contacts on the computer, it displays the arabic language contacts in jibberish format like this "ÃãíãÉ ÈíÊ".
I've checked my language and regional settings and they're ok.
Please help.

Just to check we got this right:
arabic contacts are OK in phone ? (I assume yes)
arabic contacts are garbled in PC after you update them to PC Suite in your PC ?
Do you use the Arabic version of PC Suite ? latest version is 6.81.13.
Does your PC have arabic code pages and unicode support, see
http://aramedia.com/win2000.htm
(I don't think there is necessarily anything wrong with your phone, if it is originally equipped with arabuc support)

IOS contact lists revert to all when one contact is deleted

Running iOS 7.0.3 on mini. I have multiply contact lists as a result of syncing with our Exchange 2010 sp3 server. Was attempting to delete old contacts and each time I do all of my contact lists, including "suggested contacts" enable themselves. To be clear if I click on "groups" and then enable only one list to display, if I delete one contact from that list, iOS then enables all the lists and fills the contacts view with lots of extra addresses. I had this issue on 7.02 and 7.03. What is more odd is this does not happen on my 5S running 7.02. Both devices use same iCloud and Exchange accounts.

Check Settings>General>Date & Time>Set Automatically>On. Make sure that the time zone setting is also set correctly.
If that wasn't the problem, restart your iPad and try again. If that fails, reset your iPad and try again. Quit iTunes and restart your computer as well. Turn off your firewall and antivirus software when you attempt the update again.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
