Remove custom label in maveriks contacts

I did some custom labels on iPhone. And now I cannot delete them, not on iphone (ios 7), not on macbook (mavericks)
and even iCloud web interface could not help me.

I was trying to "delete" a misspelled custom label, and couldn't figure out how.  No help on the web or here.  I succeeded by going to the custom labeled item, creating another custom label, and the misspellt (really) one disappeared from the list!!  HTH...

    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 I have outdated custom labels that annoy me, because I still seem them in the list as options.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.

  • HT204150 My Custom Label file in Contacts is filled with outdated names. How can I delete them?

    My Custom Label file in Contacts is filled with obsolete names.  How do I delete them?

    Thanks Applematt9812, that works great. I never saw that before. It lets you group pictures under the Albums tab nicely.
    But, unfortunately, it doesn't fix the names of the groups that get created under the Events tab when you load pictures from a camera card. If that was editable it would help.

  • Adding Custom Labels Missing for Contact Numbers After Upgrading to iOS 8.0 and issue still exists on iOS 8.1

    I noticed that after upgrading to iOS 8.0 on my iPhone 5s, adding custom labels for contact numbers got removed. It still exists on iOS 8.1 as well. Is there someone who is facing a similar issue or can someone help me how to get that back. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Hi Yugendra,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    I have good news. You can still choose a custom label in Contacts on iOS 8. The option should be below "Other" in the list of labels when editing a contact. This information is found in the iOS 8 user guide:
    Contacts at a glance - iPhone
    Change a label. If a field has the wrong label, such as Home instead of Work, tap Edit. Then tap the label and choose one from the list, or tap Add Custom Label to create one of your own.
    Best Regards,
    Jeremy

  • Trying to add Custom Label to iPad contacts

    I can find the Add Custom Label in the list of labels through contact - edit.  I can type in a new Custom Label  - but there is just no way to save it.  Tearing out what little hair I have.  Any advice appreciated.

    Sorry!  Just press Return on keyboard.  Idiot or what. Doh!

  • Why can I not add custom labels to some contacts?

    Some contacts seem to have no ability to have custom labels be added to the label field, while others do. Why is this, and how can I fix it?

    I've been so used to working seamlessly from external drives (I had a MBPro 2.2, 120GB drive, tip-toeing around in Lion), that it never occured to me that it would be different in ML on my new Mac Mini.  So, yes, after further investigation, the problem seems to only occur on the ONE external drive which I used all the time for all my video files, photos, music and any other large folders. (I plan to migrate most of it to my main drive now that i have 1GB to play with, so it's a temporary hiccup at least.)  This probably also explains why I have to "authorize" any move or transformation on that drive, but WHY?  It doesn't happen on other drives and I even tried changing permissions to Read and Write for Everyone, to no avail.  Perhaps it's still tied in to the MacBook somehow, but then so would be the other drives.  ???
    Anyway, thank you for your time and for making me delve into this further.  At least now I know it doesn't affect the main system.

  • In ios7, custom labels for phone contacts are all out of order. How can I get them back in alphabetical order?

    See above question.

    I had tried that several times with no luck.  Late last night I was finally able to get through  to the Verizon technical support who then called in Apple technical support.  It took 1 1/2 hours for them to figure it out and guide me through a fix.  So here's the deal .......... I use Yahoo mail and had left the "contacts" button in the on position.  Apparently Yahoo likes to go into your contacts and gather information and can leave it in shambles.  My advice is, go to settings, then mail, contacts, calendars.  Select any and all of your email accounts and go in and turn off their access to your information.  Leave it on for Icloud but none of the others.

  • Syncing contacts on an iPhone removes custom ringtones for a contact

    I kept noticing that my custom ringtones regularly vanished on my iPhone 3G. This article explains why:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1948
    This is a nuisance. Any idea when Apple will fix it?

    Mine are usually fine - it's only when I do a sync history reset that I lose them

  • How do I get "custom label" button back on Contacts

    I used to have "custom label" button for phone number tags on contact list. It is now gone. Any way to get it back. This started on my iPhone 4 and remains on my iPhone 5.
    SOLUTION FOUND !!!
    Go into settings and do this:
    Settings --> Mail,Contacts,Calendars --> Default account (for Contacts)--> select "On My Phone"
    this restored the custom labels button when creating new contacts. Somehow it was set to 'Hotmail" and i guess Hotmail does not support customized labels so it isn't offered when creating new contacts.

    That is what i a talking about. When i go to add a new contact and go to edit the label - the generic list of number types is present but the additional list of custom lables is not present - nor the button to create a new one. Some of my contacts do have the custom label present - old contacts created back when the buttons and label types were all there but it is no longer present when creating new contacts or editing contacts that were recently added.

  • Can you delete custom labels created in the contact list?

    The subject pretty much sums up my question! Can you do this on the iPhone?

    Not sure what you mean by "Custom Labels in the contact list"
    But to the best of my knowledge nothing that even has to do with the contact list is customizable other than entries you put in

  • Custom Labels in Address Book

    I've been following the news about Blackberry Desktop for the mac, but I will not have the opportunity to try it for myself until another 2 weeks,  so I hope that the community here will be able to provide the answer to some of the questions that I have not seen answered here yet.
    In the Apple Address Book I use custom labels to designate the names of particular contact people within an organization. For instance, on my contact card for  GoDaddy support I have three phone numbers, each with a custom label of the contact person's name.
    Has anybody used custom labels in their sync? Is the Blackberry then able to recognize the labels properly?

    Thank you for your reply. But I do want to clarify. I am not trying to sync Address Book Groups, but rather custom-named fields from Address Book. The computer program allows you to give your own name to any of the fields on a contact's card. In the example I gave, the single contact card named "GoDaddy" has three custom labels, one for each of the contact people within the company.  Something like this:
    GoDaddy
    Tim - xxx-xxx-xxxx
    Ryan - xxx-xxx-xxxx
    James - xxx-xxx-xxxx
    Main: xxx-xxx-xxxx
    Rather than using the standard "mobile", "fax", "home" labels, I've assigned my own values. I'm wondering (and now with significant doubts) if the blackberry will automatically sync those entries. 
    Soon I will be able to test it myself, but as of now I still do not have access to a blackberry to test this...

  • Transfer custom labels to a new phone

    I am trying to move my contacts from a Nokia E50 to a E71. I have made extensive use of edited (custom) labels in the contacts.
    Is there a way to transfer labels in contacts from one phone to the other?

    I have started to use custom labels. I wish there was something that could carry my custom labels from nokia to google address book and vice versa. MfE and RoadSync failed me.
    I really wonder why these softwares can not respect each other
    PS: same problem with google sync on iPhone too!! Good god!!

  • Add Custom Label

    Hello everyone,
    I am having SOOOOOOOOO many problems with my iPhone (funny thou, have no problems with my iPod touch) after updating to 3.1 this morning that are unbelievable. Can anyone tell me what happened to the option to ADD CUSTOM LABEL to a new contact? I can't add a custom label to a new contact but I can add or change custom label to any contacts that were there prior to the update.... Please HELP!!!!

    Creating contacts in your On My iPhone account will allow you to add custom labels; creating them in your Exchange account will not. I had the same problem until I realized that I had set the default account (under Mail, Contacts, Calendars in Seetings) to my Exchange account; I changed it to On My iPhone, and the issue went away. Of course, any contact created this way will no longer auto-sync with Exchange (unless you sync in some other way), but you will be able to use your custom labels.
