UnLink Many Contacts at Once

I accidentally linked all of my contacts (500) to one contact. 499 are showing up under the 1. Is there someway I can unlink them all at once instead of having to do them one by one?

Hi,
As far as I know, there is no method to unlink all linked contacts at once, we have to unlink them one by one by clicking the 'X' beside the name.

  • Am I trying to print too many Contacts at once?

    I have over 2000 contacts in my Address Book, and when I try to print I get the "Preparing" window forever. I can break it down to smaller groups, but I'm wondering if there's a limit to how many contacts Address Book can print in one pass. Any ideas?

    You really can't. Try downloading them on your computer and sync. Next try restoring from backup.

  • HT4489 Rather than importing one vcf at a time (which doesn't seem to be working), is there someway of importing many contacts at once, perhaps from a comma-delimited file?

    I've just received my iPad, still struggling to get to grips with it, trying to import my contacts from my PC into iCloud.... does anybody have any suggestions on how to bulk-import?
    Thanks

    Thanks - that's exactly what I'm trying to do!
    It's step 2 that I'm having trouble with.
    I could replicate the job of something like (for example) JDOM by receiving all events under the root and creating JDOM elements from the contents, but I was hoping to be able to use some library that did this for me (for example: jdom's SAXBuilder class).
    The other side effect of this method is that you drive things from a SAX parser and let the document handler do the application work. Unfortuanately re-engineering the application to work from within a DocumentHandler is probably not an option.
    But thankyou anyway :)

  • Deleting many contacts at once

    Since the merging with msn messenger, my skype account imported a lot of contacts that I don't really talk with anymor.
    In order to organize my account properly, I would like to be able to delete contacts in bulks. Would that be possible in a future atualization?

    These steps don't work.  I'm using a Mac and it says I have to delete from my Address Book on my Mac.  What kind of silliness is that?  Also, for some odd reason when Skype picked up my phone numbers from the address it book it added the Australian country code to all the numbers.  So here I am, an address book full of phone numbers I can't use and I have to delete them from my Mac address book which I don't want to do because the phone numbers in there are correct in there but I can't delete them from Skype because it won't work.  Anyone with any ideas?  (By the way does anyone have these types of problems with Viber?)

  • I have many contacts in address book from a certain company that just changed its name.  Is there a way to globally change all the contacts to the new company name all at once?

    Although clunky as you say, this sounds like a reasonably efficient way to accomplish what I was seeking.
    Address Book has no global find/replace. Bob Grove suggested one possible workaround; however, a grep-capable text editor (eg, TextWrangler) is better than TextEdit if complex strings are involved.
    An alternative is Bento (which is designed specifically to interact with the AB database), but it's not free.

  • How do you accept many contact requests at one time?

    We host a talk show program on Skype and get many contact requests. We'd like to accept them all at once if we could. Skype tends to hang up (spinning wheel and no response) when we go and accept them one by one. Any suggestions?

  • Many contacts are not visible to alphabetical browse on Contacts after update to OS 10.2 on the Z10

    After updating to 10.2 on Z10  many contacts do not appear on the Contacts list, but if I search for them, I get them one at a time. I can't browse for them, but they are still in a file somewhere. That file is no longer fully connected to the Contacts app, it seems. I'm going to call the two alternatives the "browsible" list when I refer to the Contact app working correctly and lsiting the contact alphabetically; and the "non-browsible" list, when I can only find them by a search.
    One other thing of interest. When I add a contact that is in the same name as one on the non-browsible, I will get a message asking me if I want to replace the [old] contact. If I say yes, the new contact listing joins the hidden list and replaces what was there. If I say no, I get the contact added to the browsible Contact app. Thereafter, if I search on that name I get two hits: one is the old, non-browsible entry and the other is the new one that is browsible.
    I did the 10.2 update when I was running the older BB link on a WinXP computer and it did not work to create a back-up, so I can't try restore. I now run Win7 64-bit and the new link seems to work okay,  but that was installed after I upgraded to 10.2..
    Any suggestions as to where I go to find the hidden contact entries on the non-browsible list? And how I get them to appear on the alphabetical, browsible, list when Contacts is opened?
    Thanks for all answers.

    That's another odd thing. I did make a big effort to back-up the Z10 before the update to OS 10.2.1.  But, it appears to me that by downloading the new OS to my computer [T-Mobile never does push the BB updates, not as long as I've owned it, which was a few days before the US distro, when I got hold of one for the South American market in Miami Breach] it seems to have removed my installed BB Link from my laptop. And my back-up files are empty.  
    Last time something like this happened. there was a workaround. Do this, do that, and suddently the contacts that are lurking somewhere on the phone, appear. I was hoping for this again.
    If this is a known issue, why is it not featured on the BB page where the installer was located? I would never have downloaded OS 10.2.1, if I was warned I might lose my contacts and texts. 
    A sorry mess.

  • How can I send an email from my iPad3 to all of my contacts at once?

    I would like to know how I can send an email message from my iPad 3 to all of my contacts at once.

    If you have a Mac, and you have your contacts synced to your Mac (perhaps with iCloud), you could create a contact group on your Mac containing all your contacts and have that group synced to your iPad.
    Perhaps you can do something like that, depending on whether you keep your contacts somewhere else and what type of computer you have.

  • How do I change permissions on many files at once?

    Hello!
    I recently had a large hard drive crash, and, long story short, I got all my data back but now have a different user account on a new hard drive.  The permissions on all the files on the computer are fine.
    However, I am a recently graduated film student and use an external drive to edit video.  When I tried to open up Final Cut Pro and work on a project, I was told that the program couldn't work because I didn't have "write" access to my scratch drives.  I changed the permissions on the relevant folders and can now open the application fine, but can't actually edit because ALL the medi files don't give me full read/write access.
    I can change them all one at a time, which requires I enter my password for each one, but this would take a few days of work to complete.
    My question is: how can I add my user account with read/write permission to many files at once?  I've heard this can be done with Terminal, but I'm not sure how. 
    Please give me step-by-step instructions if you can!  I have never used Terminal before!  I am not a techie, but I want to be, and I learn quickly!
    My computer specs:
    15in Macbook Pro, early 2008.
    System 10.5.8

    In the Finder's Get Info window, under permissions, you can click the little gear icon and set the "Apply to encoded items" flag. Then when you change permissions, it will apply to everything underneath the selected folder.

  • If you cannot sync contacts this might be the problem...too many contact groups

    I have a Centro and MAC book and was trying to use ISync and then Missing Sync to sync data. In both programs the contacts would not sync but all else did just fine. I have many contacts but did not need all of them on my phone so I organized them into groups in the address book, with one group being a list of the current contacts I wanted on my phone. With MissingSync the program will only sync a certain number of groups, although I had more than that number I didn't think it mattered because I was only trying to sync the one group. It matters. Even though in the Missing Sync conduit setting the group was listed and I only checked that group off to sync - nothing would sync. 
    The solution was to save a back up of my address book and then delete all my contact groups except the one I wanted to sync. POOF! It worked. I am not sure exactly how many groups would work but if the priority is to get a certain number of contacts, not all, on your phone and you have a lot of groups, maybe this strategy will work for you. If you are using ISync, since the problem was the same for both programs, maybe this would also be the solution in ISync. 
    What led to this ah-ha moment was a forum moderator at MissingSync suggesting I create another user on my computer with administrative capability, create a few test contacts and then try to sync. This did work, the contacts did sync.
    I hope this may be of help to someone and possibly save you a lot of time.  Good luck!

  • How many contacts can the iPhone hold....now?

    This question was asked back in 2008 and has been archived, however I'd like to revisit this issue.
    What I'd like to know, is this:
    How many contacts can the iPhone hold before it effects performance?
    I have a iPhone user with an MS Exchange email account on the phone, Calendar and Contact sync is turned on. The problem is, the user has 10,000 contacts.
    The contacts synchronized to the iphone, however, when writing emails or doing any task that accesses the contacts database (i.e. auto-completion of names), There is a good 35 to 40 second lag before you can enter the second letter of a name on the keyboard. I can only assume that this is due to the pure insanity of having 10,000 contacts on a mobile device... The search takes too long. Although it did work just fine on the blackberry (a lessor device ).
    Can anyone tell me if there is a limit on how many contacts one can successfully store on an iPhone without running into the "lag" issue?
    Thanks in advance.
    Nigle

    What is the overall size of all these songs?
    This will determine how many songs the iPhone can hold.
    The actual capacity of an 8GB iPhone is around 7.3 GB - OS X alone takes up approximately 500MB.
    You should leave some free space available on the iPhone for general operating purposes and if you access any email accounts and for Safari cache purposes, etc.
    So you have around 7GB available - as long as the overall size of all 9400 songs isn't greater than 7GB or so, you are covered.

  • I have an I phone 4s and I have many contacts in my phone.  However, whne my phone rings or I receive a text, the phone does not show the name of the contact person only the phone number.  I have checked every setting I can think of ?

    I have an I phone 4s and I have many contacts in my phone.  However, when my phone rings or I receive a message.  The phone does not show the name of the caller.  It only shows the phone number that is calling.  I am sure this is a setting problem, but I have checked every setting I can think of.  Any suggestions??

    If you are a Verizon user try this:
    Open the phone and dial *228. This is a Verizon over-the-air programming number.
    When the system answer press 1 for "Program or activate your phone"
    Wait for the call to disconnect. You should get a prompt stating "Settings updated."
    Double tap the Home button to bring up the recently used apps list at the bottom.  Locate the Phone, Message, and Contacts apps, swiping if necessary, and press and hold until they jiggle then press the red minus sign to stop them.
    Wait a 3-5 minutes.
    Try your phone again and see if it's fixed.

  • Has Lightroom CC removed the ability to Batch apply changes to many files at once (after import) using presets?

    I've just upgraded to Lightroom CC and most of the changes are very welcome - especially the performance improvements.
    However I've been processing several thousand images and in Lightroom 5 when wanting to apply changes to many images at once it was as simple as selecting the group of images and then right clicking, selecting Develop Settings and then selecting one of my many Presets from a sub menu.
    This sub menu seems to have disappeared in Lightroom CC.
    This is a MASSIVE problem for me as I cannot work out how to apply the presets to multiple images anymore.   I note that there is a tutorial on how to do it during import - but I want to specifically be able to do it post import, during development of large groups of images for clients.
    Anyone know what has happened here and how we can get access to applying presets to multiple images during development under Lightroom CC?

    Yes ssprengel.
    I regularly work with all the Presets visible in the left of the Develop module.   But this cannot be used to apply the preset to multiple images.   For that (in Lightroom 5) you had to select the multiple images and then right click (on any one of the images) then go down the menu to Develop Settings, then select the Preset Folder and the Preset you wished to apply to all the images selected.   This worked well for me in my workflow.   But the access to the Presets through the Develop Settings menu has been removed in Lightroom CC.   ManiacJoe's solution above works - but it's accessed from the Library module.   That's kind of counter intuitive.   I want access to apply any preset I've saved to multiple images (in many cases t's being applied to thousands of images) from within the Develop module.   it makes little sense to apply a preset one image at a time to thousands of images when developing them
    The whole idea behind presets was that they could be quickly and consistently applied across multiple images.   Removing this functionality is a backward step by ADOBE in my opinion and I really want them to add it back to the Develop Module menu systems.
