I have removed my facebook account from system preferences but my facebook contacts are still on my adress book and there's no way to remove them... help!
iMac, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)
So if you select a contact and hit the Delete key what happens?
If you want to delete particular contacts, highlight them and from menu bar Edit - Delete Cards
To remove all Fb contacts.........well I've never tried this, but on the left side of the contacts you see all the accounts syncing contacts (for example an iCloud account, a Facebook account, a Yahoo account, etc). So select your FB account from that left side list (just check if only your FB contacts are shown), and do what I said above, highlight all contacts and Delete Cards. Would hopefully work
If I hit the delete key, nothing happens and it won't allow me to delete the card from the Edit menu.
I guess they'll remain there forever. 😠
Is the "Delete" option transparent or something in the Edit menu or it's not even there?
yeah well I too noticed that problem when I updated to 10.8.2, but somehow it works now
Are your contacts syncing through iCloud, or Gmail or something? Maybe try switching to iCloud (this shouldn't have anything to do with your problem sinc it's about FB contacts, but just give it a random shot)
Yes, it's transparent. I've got iCloud contacts and Facebook contacts. This duplicates a lot of contacts, that's why I want to remove facebook contacts.
I solved it! I deactivated icloud contacts then I was able to deactivate facebook contacts and now they're really gone! Then I activate icloud again and voilà!
You don't need all this if you have iOS 6. Just go to settings->facebook->turn off the contacts and there you are with no facebook contacts.
You can do the same if you want to remove the contacts of mail accounts. Go to mails,contacts and calenders->select any mail you want-> turn off the contacts.
Well this can be done by going into system settings and then internet accounts. In the left panel click on your facebook account and then you will see an option to uncheck contacts. This will remove all facebook contacts. Also if you want to delete the one by one, just go into your contacts and delete them one at a time.
Here is a video that shows you how to do it if you are a visual learner:
