Refresh all contacts?

My Skype contact list is a mess. I have duplicates, bad numbers etc. Some of this is from problems with my Mac Contacts from the past but others are just a result of over 10 years of accumulation.
I would like to just dump all the contacts and reinstall from my macbook contact book and start fresh.
Can somebody please let me know the best way to do this? I seem to have thousands of addresses attached to skype that are independent of the address book.
Thanks!

I had the same problem, only I was able to sync in the past and suddenly lost the ability to. I reinstalled the Nokia PS Suite, turned the phone off and on.

Not all contacts in "To..." field in Nokia Text Me...

Hello,
I noticed, that in the field "To..." in Nokia Text Message Editor all contacts are not showed.
After the small investigation I came to this it happened because I've set default tel. numbers for voice connections in my Nokia N70. When I switch off them and refresh the contact list in Nokia Text Message all contacts are appear.
In the the previous version of the PC Suite 6.82 wasn't this problem.
In Contacts list on Nokia Phone Browser everything is all right.
I Have Win XP SP2, PC Suite 6.83.14.1 and Nokia N70.
All in Polish language.
Could Nokia fix it?
Regards

Have you tried resetting the sync history on what I assume to be a Mac, which is done via iSync preferences with the iSync application located in your Applications folder?
If not, quit iTunes, the Address Book, and iCal.
Launch the iSync application and after selecting reset sync history via iSync preferences, restart your Mac followed by syncing your iPhone again to check if this resolves the problem.

Any way to force a complete refresh of contacts from Yahoo Address Book?

Any way to force a complete refresh of contacts from Yahoo Address Book?
About once a month I delete all my Yahoo contacts and upload a new file. (That may sound crazy but I do it from a master file (a database) both to Yahoo and Lotus Notes and blackberry via Notes. Only takes a few moments. Works for me.)
When I do this with my iphone it's duplicating some contacts, not a whole lot, but some - maybe 3%. I have reset the sync history before doing this.
So, any way to wipe the slate clean on the iphone and force a one way refresh?

Please check you contact name in the device and verify if the names does not start with none alphabetic characters (e.g. @, &, *, etc). This characters will actually stop the sync process and will not be able to successfully complete the transfer of data. Do the same thing with the contact data you have online just to be sure..
If that it still doesn't work, delete your Google account on the device, restart, and then recreate the same account.
Let me know how it goes...

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!

ISync not syncing all contacts to Moto Razr V3i

Hi,
I have a Motorola Razr V3i that I'd like to sync with my Mac address book. I'm running Leopard 10.5.1. I keep the Address Book as the reference for all my contacts. When I connect my Razr to the Mac, I want to replace all the contacts on the phone with the entries in the Address Book. I have set options in iSync to sync all contacts with phone numbers. I am facing two problems with this:
1) During the sync, the application tries to replace data on my Mac with data from the phone. Is there an option that I can set by which the information on the Mac is never overwritten by the information from the phone? I want information to go one way all time - from my Mac to the phone.
2) After the sync, I discovered that not all the contacts had been imported. A few random contacts are not transferred from the Mac to the phone. I thought that this might have something to do with the fact that the phone used to be synced to my earlier install of Tiger. So I did a "master clear" and a "master reset" on the phone. But even after doing that, some of the contacts (different ones this time) were not synced. And due to the problem described in #1, iSync tried to replace all my existing contacts on the Mac with blank information on the phone.
What's the point of iSync if I have to check whether all contacts have been imported, and manually enter the ones left out. I checked for a software update on the phone, but there was none available.
I'd be happy to provide additional information to get this problem fixed.
Thanks,
Saurabh

I am having the same problem with Leopard 10.5.1 Isync and my razor V3 from Cingular. In addition the contacts in my address book are duplicated after syncing with my phone. Basically after using Isync my address book gets doubled and cluttered with names and no phone numbers, the data gets completly screwed up. Whats going on?

IPhone 4 - iOS 5 upgrade - LOST ALL CONTACT DETAILS

I upgraded to iOS 5 and now I can't get to any of my contact details.
What I have -
The list of my contacts is displayed under the contacts option, but when I touch any contact name it takes me back to the home screen. Can't make any phone calls. But I can receive phone calls and the caller-id displays the correct name too. So my guess is the information is there somewhere, I just can't seem to find it or use it.
What I have tried so far -
1) Resynced contacts from the Info tab in iTunes. I get the following error msg - "iTunes couldnot sync contacts to the "iPhone" because contacts are being synced over-the-air
2) turned off sync over wi-fi from iTUnes. Tried syncing again. Same error message as above.
3) Tried going to "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" under settings, it takes me back to home screen. It displays the "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" details screen for about half a second and takes me back to home screen.
4) Went to iCloud under settings and tried to turn off teh "Contacts" from there. It simplays doesn't turn off. I can turn off everything else listed under there, but contacts. No matter what I do, it stays on.
5) Signed into iCloud.com with my account. The contacts info there has only one contact listed (mine).
6) Tried to edit contact details from one of my recent text messages. Doesn't work. Takes me backto home screen.
Does anyone have any ideas about how to fix this. At this point I can't even use the main function a phone should be performing, i.e. make calls from my stored contacts.

I had the same problem. Time Machine proved invaluable here. I opened up Address Book, selected "All Contacts", started up TIme Machine via Spotlight, and scrolled back to the day before I ran the 4.2.1 updater. Bada bing, all contacts restored to the address book! Simply did an iPhone sync after that and all was well again.
Still, nasty bug Apple. :-|

All Contacts won't open a new contact page

I am a first time owner of a new iphone4 which was professionall set up and synced (Macbook Pro, ipod) for me. I was successfully enterering contacts when the ALL CONTACTS + function unexpectedly froze.
Not sure if I hit something in error and have no idea where to investigate this problem.

Uninstall the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox that prevents new tabs from being opened.
There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
* Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
* Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons

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.

How can I create a list of all contacts in my 'sent folder'

Hi,
One of my email accounts has been hacked. So I need to contact everybody I ever sent an email again to warn them about fake emails sent from potential impersonators. First, I want to gather all their email addresses, maybe creating a distribution list and send a generic email. But they are a lot, so copying and pasting is not an option. On the other hand, the 'previous recipients' list contain all contacts from all email accounts I have.
Second, I do not want anybody to see the email address from others as they belong to different organizations. Can anybody help me out?

Apparently not. So I installed MIcrosoft Outlook for Mac and imported all the stuff. It was worth the hour or so I spent on it and I have a distribution list.

You have to follow the process outlined here to recover contacts from an iCloud backup: Recovering deleted iCloud contacts from an iCloud backup.. Otherwise, as you have noticed, the recovered contacts are overwritten when your device reconnects to iCloud.
