Contacts Won't Sync with Yahoo

I can't get Contacts on my Pre to sync with my Yahoo account.  The contacts I already have on Yahoo will download to the phone, but any new ones that I create on the phone will not upload to Yahoo, no matter how many time I try to sync them.  In fact, when I create a new contact on the phone, my Yahoo account doesn't even appear in the drop-down menu next to the name.  The user guide says that if an account doesn't appear, then you can't assign the contact to it, but doesn't tell you why the account doesn't show up or how to fix it.  I have deleted and re-entered the account twice now, but that doesn't help.  When I go to the Login Settings the username field is filled in, but the password is always empty.  I type my password and click "Sync Now", it successfully logs in and tells me the sync was successful, but the new contact still doesn't appear in Yahoo.  When I try again, the password field is once again empty.
I only have this problem with Contacts.  My Yahoo Calendar syncs just fine with the phone.  Any suggestions?  Thanks.

Hi micromarcs,
The good news is, you're not doing anything wrong. The bad news is that Yahoo Contacts are a one way sync from Yahoo to the phone. If you want to add contacts to your Yahoo account, you'll have to do so from the web browser. If you go to http://m.yahoo.com from your phone, you can go to the Address Book site and manage your contacts from there.

  • Mountain lion contacts won't sync with Yahoo

    Just upgraded and the option in Contacts > Accounts > On My Mac . Sync with Yahoo is missing. Also, sync with Yahoo is not working. Has anyone found a fix for this or is Apple responding with a patch?

    nqk, I also get that error message frequently, and just tried Jennifer's suggestion of turning off the firewall and virus protection temporarily, my results were I still got the error a couple of times, but was able to sync the contacts without the error many more times than before. Happy to say I've got an iMac on order and am looking forward to it. Thanks Jennifer B for your suggestion.
    Hope this helps.

  • Mac calendar and contacts won't sync with iPhone 5 since upgrading to Mavericks.

    Please,please, help,
    My mac calendar and contacts (and who know what else) won't sync with my iPhone 5 since updating to Mavericks. I have lost new medical appointments on my mac which never synced to my iPhone. I am completely frazzled as I am a very busy mum (who isn't!) and the call centre is closed! A am a bit of a technophobe but have discovered the "info" tab that appears when I connect my iphone to my mac to sync has disappeared with Mavericks. I hope someone out there can help me.

    Yes, you can reinstall your system from the backup you made before installing Mavericks. See this link

  • IPhone Contacts won't sync with iCloud

    Hi!
    I have my Macbook Pro and iPhone 4S synced with iCloud, so everything I do in one device shows up in the other.
    About 2 days ago I noticed my iPhone contacts were not syncing with iCloud. Calendars, Notes, etc. is syncing and the Macbook Pro is syncing as well. Only iPhone contacts are not (both ways).
    Any ideas are welcome!! Thank you!!!

  • IPhone contacts won't sync with Outlook

    I am trying to sync my iPhone contacts with my Outlook contacts but they won't sync. In iTunes I checked "Sync Contacts with Outlook" but nothing happens.

    Check your contacts in Outlook and make sure they belong to iCloud and not My Contacts or another account such as Gmail, Yahoo or Exchange.  Only iCloud contacts will sync with your devices.

  • HELP! New TX & 6.2.2 won't sync with Yahoo! account. HELP!

    For a few years now, I've been using a Palm Tungsten E2 Handheld and syncing my E2 with my Yahoo! PIM (calendar, contacts, memos, etc.) account using Yahoo!'s Intellisync function. Everything has worked smoothly, with only minor problems, for years (prior to the E2, I had a Zire). I recently purchased a Palm TX handheld upgrading from the E2. When I got this new Palm handheld, the software I was forced to install on my computer was Palm Desktop version 6.2.2. I went to Yahoo! to sync this new handheld with my Yahoo! PIM using Intellisync and noticed Yahoo! no longer uses Intellisync. They now have what they are calling Autosync. As instructed by Yahoo!, I un-installed the Intellisync program from my PC and installed Autosync. The very first time I tried to sync my TX with Yahoo! I got an error message telling me this version of the Palm OS (6.2.2) wasn't supported. Can anyone tell me what I do now? This is very frustrating. Yahoo! doesn't support it's Itellisync or Autosync (and you are warned about this when installing) and you get a form response telling you, basically, if you are having problems, get rid of it. I've looked around Yahoo! and Palm sites and can't find anyone with the same problem or a solution. I think I'm just out of luck until Yahoo! decides to support 6.2.2 and who knows if they are even aware of it. If anyone has any solutions, please let me know. My Yahoo! account is a little more important to me than my Palm and I'm really tempted to send it back for a refund and look for some other device that will support Yahoo!. I'd be grateful for any suggestions. This is just annoying me to no end. Thanks.
    Post relates to: Palm TX

    OK. I'm happy to announce that almost a week after receiving my T|X, things are close to where I expected them to be.
    First, let me thank HardBeatZ& for your assistance. I doubt I would have ever thought about using the disc that came with my E2 to pull me out of this mess.
    But, that's exactly how it happened. I uninstalled both Yahoo!'s Autosync and 6.2.2. I found the disc (after a frustrating day of searching) and loaded 4.1.4. I then loaded Yahoo!'s Autosync.
    It would take me an hour to write the trial and error period I went through at this point. Syncing the E2 with the desktop, figuring out that Yahoo!'s Autosync only syncs with Palm Desktop now instead of directly with the handheld, syncing the T|X with the desktop software then Yahoo!'s Autosync, duplicate and triple calendar entries, losing my entire To Do: list (which is quite lengthy) and getting it back by beaming it from the E2 to the T|X and...well, you get the idea. A lot of trial and error.
    In the end though, things are about 90% back to where I need them to be. Getting the duplicate entries under control is the biggest annoyance but I've got my third-party apps, calendar, contacts, tasks, memos, etc. on the T|X now and, I must say, I'm starting to feel happy about the purchase (finally). Not having to guess where to place the stylus to hit buttons or write characters (on the defective E2) is the nicest thing.
    Anyway, I got work to do but I wanted to come back here and thank you HardBeatZ&because I probably would have given up by now and sent it back. Glad I stuck with it. Now, this, of course doesn't mean I won't discover some new, frustrating problem tomorrow with the T|X but, for now, all is right in my world of handheld computing. And, at least, I learned a few things about syncing and the Palm Desktop that I didn't know before.
    One problem I do see down the road is that cheap material the spine of the Palm cover is made out of is going to eventually tear just like that gray one did on the E2. I was thinking of reinforcing it with some electrical tape or some type of epoxy to strengthen it. Anyone have any suggestions or ideas how to keep that cover from breaking off? That gray one on the E2 was a joke for someone who uses their Palm several times a day like me. They should give you two. lol
    OK. That's it. Thanks for reading and I'll stop by here more often to see if any of my experiences can be of some value to other's challenges.
    Take care ya'll.

  • Contacts won't sync with my new MacBook (The operation couldn't be completed. (CoreDAVErrorDomain error 1.))

    Hello everyone.
    I recently bought a used MacBook Pro (Mid 2012, running OS X Mavericks) as my first Mac, so maybe it is really easy but I cannot figure it out myself.
    I am really satisfied with the product, the only thing that is bugging me is that the built-in Contacts App won't sync my existing iCloud contacts.
    It's working fine on my iPhone and iPad but it does not seem to be working with the MacBook. At first I thought maybe it could use a reboot. That didn't work. Next I deleted the iCloud account from the Mac, rebooted again, entered my account data and opened contacts again. Still nothing even after waiting 10 minutes.
    Then I found this nice option "Show Last Import". And behind the "iCloud" group I noticed a little exclamation mark. After I clicked on it I was presented the following error: "The operation couldn’t be completed. (CoreDAVErrorDomain error 1.)"
    I don't really know what to do with this error since google and other search engines did not deliver a resolution to this problem which worked...
    Is my iCloud broken or something? Everything is working fine so far with my other devices (iPad, iphone, icloud-website, even my Windows PC at work can sync the contacts  :-/)
    I hope you can provide me a solution because I am out of ideas myself

    So for me I found a solution after hours of searching. Surprisingly it is in another thread here:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/19223886#19223886
    Problem solved with a lot of help from Apple Support. After upgrading to ML, I still had all my contacts in iCloud and on the iPhone, but not on the iMac and the MacBook.
    1) We have set up a temporary second iCloud account for me.
    2) On my iPhone, I signed out of iCloud and did NOT delete the contacts.
    3) On the two Macs I signed out of iCloud and had everything deleted.
    4) I signed the iPhone up with the new iCloud account and synced all contacts into that one.
    5) With Safari I opened the online interface of my original iCloud  account and manually deleted all contacts.
    6) On my iPhone, I signed out of the temporary iCloud and did NOT delete the contacts.
    7) On my iPhone, I signed into my original iCloud account and waited for the contacts to sync.
    8) On the two Macs I signed into my original iCloud account and everything was okay again.
    So have my contacts back, but we do not really know what was wrong.
    As the original author said, I had no idea what exaclty was wrong but somehow it's working.
    I'm not using any Google contacts so unfortunately I can't help you with that.

  • Address Book contacts won't sync with my old iPhone

    I recently went into the lake with my iPhone 4 in my pocket. I tried the rice trick, but no luck. Although I do still have my very first iPhone the 1st Gen. I went into the AT&T store to give me a new SIM for it and it started up. When I went home to sync it to my computer, I couldn't restore it from my iPhone 4 because the software was too old on the 1st Gen. It is on 3.1.3 and will not allow me to go any higher. My biggest problem is syncing my contacts from Address Book. It will not allow my in the info tab. It says sync contacts but nothing from my address book is there. Only Yahoo and Google options. How do I get my Address Book on here? Thanks ALL!

    I'm not sure this will work on the original iPhone but you can try this:
    Open Address Book on your mac, click on any single contact to select it, go to Edit>Select All (Command-A) to select all contacts
    Got to File>Export>Export vCard, save this file on your desktop
    Send an email to yourself with this file attached
    Open the email on your iPhone and tap the attachment to import the contacts
    (This will work with newer iPhones; not sure if it will work with the 1st generation iPhone but worth a try.)

  • Iphone contacts won't sync with outlook 2007

    Hi,
    Been banging my head against this for the last few hours and haven't found an answer in any searches of past posts,
    I have it set up in itunes to sync with outloo, but when i load outlook up theres nothing there in the contacts.
    Any help would be great thanks

    Check to make sure the Outlook plugins are installed and active;
    Start Outlook >
    Tools > Trust Center > Add-ins
    You'll need to see 2 add-ins; :
    "iTunes Outlook Addin" and "Microsoft Outlook Mobile Service", both under the Active Applications Addin heading.
    If either is missing, then do a repair install of Microsoft Outlook/Office and/or a repair install of iTunes. To do the former, go to Programs (and Features) in the control panel, find Office/Outlook, highlight it and then click on change at the top. You may need the original install CD and you will need to restart your PC. You will NOT lose any data or settings with a repair install. iTunes is the same procedure, except you click on Repair, rather than change.
    Good Luck!

    and i have the latest PC suite
    i have a 3230 connected by bluetooth or USB cable and nether work.
    my outlook address book has been getting into a right mess trying to sort this out so I've decided to delete everything from outlook and re-sync it back from the phone but the PC suite wont update anything. the only time it'll add and contacts is if i edit one of them?
    also if i navigate to 'Nokia Phone Browser\Rich's 3230\Contacts' and click update, i get the updating box appear and then it goes without doing anything?

    cheers manta
    i have been syncing with the nokia pc suite for ages without too many problems. i have it set to sync only from the phone to the pc. i found that by having it set to sync in both directions that i end up with duplicated entrees everywhere! if a contact is edited, the pc suite doesn't see this and adds it as a new contact. but at the moment, i'm not even getting that happening!

  • Contacts won't sync with iPhone 4

    Since upgrading my iMac (late 2009 2.66 Ghz Intel Core i5) to Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8.3) two months ago, my Calendar will not sync with my iPhone 4 (32Gb, iOS 6.1.3).
    I've tried all the options available under "Info" in iTunes (11.0.4 (4)), including the Advanced "Replace Calendar" option, as well as exploring the settings on the iPhone. I've rebooted the iPhone and iMac several times, made sure all my software is up-to-date, and resynced many, many times.
    I do not have iCloud enabled, nor do I wish to. I sync via the cable, not Wi-Fi.
    Any ideas would be appreciated.

  • New contacts entered into my iphone won't sync with Yahoo! contacts

    Does anyone know how to resolve this problem?

    My problem is the same, but also, I cannot click "Put new contacts created on iPhone into the group" I have "all contacts" selected but I can't do anything else other than that. If I click "configure" it ask me for my login stuff for yahoo and it looks like it's doing stuff, but than nothing else happens. How can I configure my yahoo address book so that it will sync the right way and be able to put new contacts I create on my iPhone to my yahoo account?
    Thank you for the Help!

  • Contacts won't sync with icloud

    I've recently upgraded my Mac's and can't get my Contacts to upload to icloud. Prior to the OS upgrades I only had access to the cloud on my iphone, which had just a few numbers input on my phone. All my business contacts were on my non-Cloud using Macbookpro, most originally created in Entourage, but transfered via .vcf card to Mac Mail's address book a couple of years ago. There are around 2,000 entries, separated into numerous sub folders for business, family, societies etc.
    I now have a brand new OS10.10 imac (no addresses on it at all), and have updated my Macbook pro to OS10.10. My contact entries are all there on the desktop, but won't upload to icloud. I've checked all the account settings on my macbookpro - icloud is the default for Contacts, and is selected in the Mac Accounts system prefs. I've tried switching these on and off and restarting the mac, but still nothing appears on the cloud. Thinking there might be some kind of interference from the handful of numbers on my iphone I deleted all the addresses on the cloud, so there are no addresses on the cloud at all now. Icloud appears on the macbook Contacts menu, so it's definitely connected, but it remains empty.
    I only have one Apple account, so there's no problem there.
    Any suggestions?

    Hi Pimpernel,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Based on what you stated, it sounds like you want to import a vCard to iCloud. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
    iCloud: Import a vCard
    In iCloud Contacts, choose Import vCard from the Action pop-up menu , which appears at the bottom of the All Contacts list or a list of group contacts
    Select a vCard to import.
    Cheers,
    Mario

  • Contacts won't sync with iCloud on Mac

    I'm running 10.8.2 on several Macs.  I have iCloud enabled on each Mac.  One of my Macs, however, will not sync Contacts to iCloud.  Everything worked fine prior to the latest upgrade, but now this one Mac is like its own Contact Island.  Nothing I create there gets off the island, and nothing on iCloud makes it to the island.  iCal syncs, Safari syncs, Mail syncs, but not Contacts! 
    As far as I can tell all my settings on these devices are identical.  iCloud (in System Prefs) has Contacts checked; Mail, Contacts, and Calendars (in System Prefs) has contacts checked (under iCloud); Contacts Accounts tab has iCloud enabled.
    Mostly Contacts acts as if it's happily syncing (the little spin-y wheel spins next to the iCloud label above my Groups list, then it looks like a lightning bolt of some kind), but it never actually syncs.  (And I don't ever actually see the spin-y ball thing on any of my other Macs that do sync, so maybe that's a sign of a problem?)  Once it gave me an error "CoreDAVErrorDomain error 1," but I haven't seen that again.
    What am I missing?
    This is driving me nuts.  Help!
    Mark

    Update: suddenly, after not updating, the contacts I first put on my iPhone yesterday suddenly updated onto my Mac. Phone and Mac have been on lines plenty of times since then, so why didn't the contact details go up onto iCloud in all that time?
