I've got email addresses from forwarded emails from people I don't know. Every time I send emails their names show up in my address book. I just want to s**tcan them and haven't figured it out. Do you know how?
Shows up in your address book, or appears as an autofill option when you type into the To field. Not the same thing. If the autofill is kicking in, that doesn't mean the addresses are stored in your contacts. Just indicates a value formerly used in the To field.
Autofill is just MY info. It doesn't include anyting else. Use contact info is off/
Not sure I am following you, or what you mean by "adress book". Are these email/contacts actually in your Contacts app if you open it?
Have you checked your contacts and deleted the unwanted ones? Where are they being synced from? Go to the source.
As I enter a letter in the send field, people whose name begings with said letter (J/ James Ward comes up) with several others with same initial. They aren't in my P.C. address book, so when I sync they should only sync exeisting addresses. But I oft times just use my iPad for for emails. So when I go to send or reply , all these other names appear. Just want to remove them.
Yes. They don't appear in my P.C. address book.
Thet're all synced from my address book in my P.C. They don't show up in there.
Those aren't coming from your contacts list, it is just an auto fill function in the mail app (they are from email addresses in emails you have on the iPad. At least in iOS 6, to remove one, when it pops up and isn't in your contacts, you should see a blue buton beside it. Tap the button and you will hav an option to remove it from recents (or add it tocontcts, etc.). If you are on an earlier verion of iOS, I'm not sure you can remove it, but it will eventually fall off the list it not used.
My contacts keep getting deleted too. A typical pattern for this occurrence is that I will serch for a person in my contacts, select them to send a text message and then when the screen switches to text message from the contact the contact has changed to just the phone number listed at the top instead of the person's name. It does seem to effect more recent contacts more than older contacts. I can't really explain why.
I Just turned off auto fill so moving forward it will be great BUT I need to see how to remove all the previous stored, since I downloaded 9.02 the remove in red option is GONE. I don't want to see all these email addresses popping up whe I'm trying to create a text and/or email.
