Trouble deleting contacts

I'm currently running the latest OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.1) & am trying to delete some old contacts from the Contacts app. When I select the contact & hit the Delete key on the keyboard, the applicable message pops up asking if I'm sure - I click 'Delete', but the message does not disappear. I click 'Delete' multiple times, but still has no effect. 'Cancel' has no effect either. In order to move on & select another contact, I have to close the app & reopen.

My son owned the HTC Droid incredible phone before me. My contact list shows the 14 contacts I will call and text., none of his contacts. But when I go to message, then click on the person icon at the top it pulls up all his 878 contacts and none of mine... Help
It sounds confusing and there may be multiple issues but for the simplest short-term solution, instead of going to messaging, can you go to YOUR contact list, tap the photo or icon of the contact which opens a menu to call, message, email, etc.

Is there a way to recover deleted contacts on iPhone?

I desperately need to get deleted conbtacts back from my iPhone, I don't have a recent backup to restore to the phone! I'm not entirely sure how they got deleted. I think it may have been when I plugged my phone into my friends laptop to charge it. She was having laptop troubles, not sure if that is the reason for the difficulties but, I really realy need to get my deleted contacts back, all but four have disappeared.

Have you tried to recover data from backup files . Yes ,you can extract contacts from iphone backup files.But you can extract iphone backup by virtue of some tool ,like Coolmuster iOS Extractor .You can use it to scan the lost data and choose what you want to recover. It can recover photos, videos, messages with high quality and quickly way.

Try this...
have a text convo with the person you want to delete. Go to the top contact in the text convo, hit edit contact, and delete that contact.
That resolution came from another thread on this issue, and this did solve to poster's issue.

TS1702 Having deleted contacts deleted but they still show up

So I deleted a contact in my iPhone but when I went into my messages and hit new message and started typing in a name it said the contact was still but like when I went back to my contacts it was not there

No don't restore your iphone. I've done that several times & it has never worked. -I still have deleted contacts in my iphone texts. *However if you do restore it you will not lose all your data, pics, text messages etc if you backup in iCloud. It restores back to original phone. Very nice :). Anyhowwww....
I JUST figured it out!! :))). Remove the contact from recents.
Start a text. You should see the deleted contact. All the way to the right of the name is a symbol. The symbol is a circle with "i" in the middle. Click that symbol then in red lettering click "remove from recents".

I deleted a contact out of my iPhone 4S but when I go to send a message the contact appears although that individual is no longer in my address book. I deleted all text and call history pertaining to the deleted contact but still shows up.

At the present time, the only way to clear that is to restore the phone as new. Perhaps a future iOS update will give us the option to clear that cache.

HT204053 my icloud id is not registered and having trouble deleting it from my ipad to replace with my original id. how can i delete my icloud if the system doesnt reconize it.

trouble deleting icloud account from IPad. The ID is not reconized and trouble resetting it.

Try going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

My phone seems to delete contacts and info when the battery gets low, is there a solution to this issue?!

After the most recent update, I've noticed a couple MAJOR changes! 1) The battery life can barely make it through half the day. I have to keep charging it no matter how little I use it. I've even turned off apps running in the background, it didn't make much difference. And 2) When the battery gets really low, at the 10% mark, it deletes contacts and settings. I've lost so many contacts all of the sudden and I constantly have to restore my iPhone. It's so frustrating! And when the battery gets low, it also deletes my e-mail account to receive e-mails on the phone. I'm tired of having to constantly reset my phone carry a charger with me, it's not reliable any longer and I'm not sure why. Help??

Here is some information on the applecare +:
http://www.apple.com/support/products/iphone.html
It appears that you have to buy the applecare within 30 days of buying your phone - you said that your phone warranty is almost over, so when did you buy it??? That could be the explanation for the error.

Error Message AM057 while deleting contact person

Hi,
Recently, our company consolidated the SAP platforms for two regions and it is single instance now. The data is migrated to the new system by SLO. After this we are facing an issue while deleting the contact person in customer master. When we select the contact person and delete, we get a message saying "Specify a valid person use (PERSON_REFERENCE)". When we press enter, another entry (above the intended entry) gets deleted.
The performance assistant shows nothing but message no. AM057.
Based on the couple of OSS notes I have searched, I checked the table ADRVP entries and found two entries for that contact person. Both entries have the client number appearing in the field APPL_KEY.
The first record is having old client number and the second record is having the new client number. I presume, we are seeing two records because the data was migrated by SLO. But what is confusing is, both are having same addr.no. and marked as X for Owner (Flag: Adress owner object reference).
Data in table ADRVP looks as under.
Cl.     Person            Seq. No.      Table      Field           Application table key      pers.addr. Key      Addr. no.            Owner
300   0200591046          1            KNVK     PRSNR      2000000093060             BP                         0200026699       X
300   0200591046   45333695     KNVK     PRSNR      3000007093060             BP                         0200026699       X
Can there be more than one entry with same addr. no. in table ADRVP for the same person number? Can someone share what is wrong with deleting the contact person in customer master?
Thanks,
Balaji

How to delete contacts in skype 7.5 for Mac?

I cannot delete contact on skype for MAC. There are several posts marking this as resolved suggesting the following, none of which works:
going to the "All" contact lists and pressing backspace: absolutelty nothing happens;
right-clicking the contact: there is no option to delete a contact, only to block;
highlighting the contact and going to the Contacts menu item at the top of the screen: the delete contact option is there, but it is unaccessible (in light grey);
So, how can I delete a contact?

Regarding Mac contacts: that option is not possible on my skype. It is there, but in light grey, and it is not ticked (and I cannot tick it even if I want to). >> You say you haven't linked Facebook and Skype. Can you tell us if there is a "Facebook" item in the contact group list? In the sidebar choose "Contacts," then look at the bar below the toolbar and to the left of "Add Contact." There is no "Facebook" item in the contact group list. >> Have you tried deleting a contact using a different platform's Skype client? iOS or Android or Windows, for example? I do not have a Windows machine. In iOS for iPad I only had the "Block" option, no delete. I do not have it installed in Android, and do not want to do it. Best,

Help! how do I delete contacts that are not on my contact list? when I start a new message you can still get the number when you tap in the name?

how do I delete contacts? help! contacts are deleted off my
contacts. but when I go to messages and press in the name the contact
still appears under other..... can I delete these?

That is saved in cache memory on the phone and that memory is about 2MB in size and is eventually overwritten with use. The only sure way to get rid of it is to restore as new and not from a backup and you will lose data. I suggest you just ignore

How to restore a deleted contact

How to restore a deleted contact

I've seen a number of posters claim to see recovered contacts after a restore, only to see them disappear again a few seconds later. From this I assumed that contacts are backed up but overwritten by iCloud when syncing commences again, because iCloud was technically the most current version.
In response to these reports, I have put together the following advice:
Ensure the device is connected to your local network.
Start the restore from iCloud back up.
Allow the devices settings to restore (watch for the confirmation of completion).
As the apps begin to restore pull the connection to your router WAN port (the one that goes to the telephone point).
Wait for the time out confirmation.
Navigate to settings > iCloud and turn off contact syncing (keep contacts when prompted).
Reconnect the router to the internet and let the restore process complete.
Delete the iCloud contacts from iCloud.com on a computer.
Navigate to settings > iCloud and turn on contact syncing (merge contacts when prompted).
I have also noted that other users have found this to work.
