Un-syncing contact list

I synced all my gmail contacts into my iphone and don't want these there anymore. I have undone this now on iTunes but how do I now get all my unwanted contacts out of my iphone?

Create a new user account on your computer...
Sync contacts...
When it tells you to merge or replace...
Replace.
Its as simple as that...Just make sure that you have a secondary source of your content otherwise if you delete it and do not...it is gonzo

Problems syncing contact list

My iPhone 3GS running on 5.0.1 won't update my contact list while syncing to my iMac (10.6.8). This just happened after a recent update. It syncs the calendar and other applications.

The iPhone is not designed to be the master - the iPhone is designed to be compliment for your computer with the ability to sync contacts and calendar events direct with a supported application on your computer via the iTunes sync process with the supported application on your computer being the "master" for this data, which should be included with your computer's backup along with all other important data.
Contacts are not stored by iTunes. Which supported address book application on your computer were you syncing contacts with and is used for storing and accessing contacts on your computer? Is the supported address book application on your computer up to date for your contact info?

Outlook / PC Sync Contacts List

Nokia 6681 sync with Outlook 2003 via Bluetooth, PC Suite 6.70.22, on PC with Windows XP SP2.
If I add a contact in Outlook 2003 and then sync, the new contact does not show in the Contact Browser in PC Suite. However,the contact does show up on the Contact list in the phone itself. Therefore, the Contact Browser does not reflect the full list of contacts, either in Outlook or on the phone itself. Can anyone help me in determining why?
Alternatively, if I enter the new contact directly into the Contact Browser, and then sync, the contact will then show up in Outlook. However, if I later make any edits to the contact in Outlook, the changes will not be reflected in Contact Browser, but will show up on the phone itself.
If I delete the contact in Phone Browser, and then sync, the contact will not be deleted in Outlook. Instead, I would have to make the deletion directly in Outlook, as well as in Phone Browser. Again any help in resolving this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your help, but your suggestion to update the contacts using the Phone icon in the Phone Browser does not solve the problem.
I can sync in both directions between Outlook 2003 and the 6681 itself, so no problem here.
However, I can sync in only one direction between the Phone Browser (Contacts View) and the 6681; ie, if I enter a contact into the Browser, it will show up on the phone. However,if I enter a contact into the phone itself, it will not show up on the Browser after syncing.
And, I cannot sync in either direction between Outlook and the Browser.
Please note that I have the sync direction set as Update in Both Directions, and under conflict resolution, I have selected Outlook.
Any further suggestions would be much appreciated.

I have just resolved this problem with my Ipod not syncing and freezing in Itunes, I realised that I had deleted some of the source files that were loaded into Itunes from my hard drive while I was dumping old files, the reuslt was when Itunes was looking for them to load during syncing it just froze stopping it from syncing when it did not find them and I had to switch my PC off to clear it:- this is what I did:- after rebooting my computer I Switched on Itunes and switched off the auto Syncing option, connected my Ipod (120gb classic), then when my Ipod showed up in Itunes I deleted all of the songs and films I had referenced in libraries (more then 2500 files),then reloaded from files that I knew I had on my hard drive "result" it worked, I dont really understand fully how Itunes works but I suspect that you must keep the source file that you have put in Itunes because it does not copy the whole file it just creates a link then if you delete the file Itunes can not find it and it freezes, locking Itunes and your ipod, Hope this helps

Syncing contacts list to vehicle via bluetooth

Since the last update I'm having problems with my contacts syncing to my cars bluetooth. Any suggestions?

You must have all your contacts on the simcard. Try copying all the contacts on to the simcard and then see what happens.

Active sync contact list

I cannot get my address book on my palm treo 700xw to transfer to my new Sony laptop with Vista. I've downloaded the hot sync program from Palm.com, and it shows up on the desktop.....but the addresses don't transfer, or if they do, I can't find them. Thanks for any help.

I wish you could. If you checked Microsoft's site. You would of seen they do not just provide outlook only.
Check this link this is just Outlook itself nothing else http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-543-03007-Outlook-2007/dp/B000HCXKLC

Deleting a contact list item through Powershell in sharepoint 2010 synced with outlook 2010, does not delete the item from outlook.

hi All,
I have a requirement for updating the contact list from CSV file and updating/ adding and deleting the changes in the SharePoint list using PowerShell script. List is also synced with outlook.
The problem arises, when we delete an item from the list using PS, the item (which was earlier synced with outlook) is not getting deleted from outlook.
Strange behavior : when we perform the same deletion operation manually from the SharePoint UI, every thing works fine as required.
Please refer the below PS
#Adding the records from SharePoint not in CSV file
if($flag -ne 1)
Get-Member -InputObject $csvRow -MemberType NoteProperty | ForEach-Object {
$property = $_.Name
$newItem.set_Item($property, $csvRow.$property)
$newItem.Update()
#Deleting the records from SharePoint not in CSV file
CreatePSLog "Deleting the records from SharePoint not in CSV file"
foreach($itm in $List.items)
$del = 0
$items | ForEach-Object {
if($itm["SAP Ansprechpartnernr"] -eq $_."SAP Ansprechpartnernr")
$del++;
if(!$del)
$List.GetItemById($itm.Id).Delete()
$List.Update();
$Web.Update();
many thanks in advance, Please suggest as I am completly stuck on this :(
Regards, Arun kumar

Hi Kumar,
Please remove the codeline $List.Update();, then run your code again, it works for me.
You may need to firstly delete the synced contacts list within Outlook to remove those undeleted accounts, then re-connect the SharePoint contacts list to outlook, then run your modified Powershell code.
Thanks

HT204150 How do I sync my AOL contacts list to my iPhone through iCloud?

Anyone? Anyone?

oldwickerchair wrote:
My iPhone has my AOL account set up on it and I have been successfully receiving and sending e-mail thru AOL for weeks. But when I look at my contact list on my phone, it does not have the contacts in my AOL account. iCloud is supposed to sync contact lists. I would like for it to do that and sync the AOL list that shows up on my PC to my phone's contact list so that I don't have to enter all of my contacts individually into the phone's Contacts list. Do you know how to make that happen?
I have Settings->iCloud->Contacts turned On in my iPhone. There is plenty of memory on my phone for the list to be loaded into the Contacts.
iCloud does not sync AOL contacts, you iPhone can do that itself, turn AOL contacts on.

BB Torch contact list issue

I have a Blackberry Torch 9860. I have 3 email addresses currently being used on my Blackberry: 2 are gmail accounts, and 1 is for work. I would like to have each email address sync contact lists separately. So far, I have only been able to sync the contact lists for the gmail accounts. When I added the work email address to my phone, it did not create a contact list. When I plugged it into my PC to sync via Blackberry Desktop Manager, it told me it cannot sync contacts because I must turn wireless sync off.
I need to be able to wirelessly sync my 2 gmail accounts, but I would also like to sync my work email contacts via Desktop Manager, and not drop those contacts into my gmail lists.
Can someone tell me how to create a contact list for my work email address, and allow it to sync without turning off my wireless syncing for my gmail lists?
Thank you in advance

With the BlackBerry device powered ON, remove the battery a few seconds and then reinsert the battery to reboot.
Does it remain at 1/10? I wouldn't worry about it.
You can always completely wipe the device if you want , that will rid you of them.

My iphone 4 will not download contact list on mercedes audio 20 BT via pbap

I have a new mercedes class B with an Audio 20 system. The indications are to sync contact list via PBAP which my iphone 4 (ios 5.1.1) supposedly supports. It works fine with my husband's iphone 4S but not with my iP4. Any idea?

It was replaced by apple before my applecare had expired, which is kind of why I didnt renew it, I figured I was pretty set after it was repaired.
Also have a slight update, it would finally die after I was on it for a while plugged in, and after it died I plugged it back in and the low battery symbol came on and after about 5 minutes it came back on at 3% with still no charge symbol. I left it plugged in all night and when I woke up it was at 100%, so it finally charged! But when I plugged it back in to see it it was fixed, still not seeing any charge symbol or signs of it charging, its sitting on the charger right now, hopefully it will charge before my flight in the morning...
Is it a common thing to have it not charge right away? Is that an electronic error, or...? And will apple look at it if my applecare is up...or will I have to pay?

Make groups of contacts in your Address Book and select the option to sync only selected groups to each phone.

How do I sync an iPhone 4 and iPhone 5 contact list on my iMac and keep the contact lists separate?

I am going crazy. I have an iPhone 4 and my husband an iPhone 5. When our devices are synced to iTunes, our contact lists are merged.
I've previously set up a separate user account for each of us and we both have separate apple id's. I even tried setting up a new library for him but it keeps reverting back to my contact list on his phone etc.
How can I sync our contact lists and keep these details separately? He has work numbers in my phone and I have mine in his. Its driving me nuts deleting the numbers we don't use on each others phone!
Please help me! Thank you.
Cheers

Apple refuses to answer this question ... very impolite, unprofessional and unfriendly to customers
