Contacts/ Yahoo account duplicating

Hi,
So my problem is that when trying to sync all my contacts (2 yahoo addresses, and an Icloud), only 1 of my yahoo accounts duplicates my contacts- heres the catch though- when checking my actual yahoo account online, there are no duplicates, & when checking in my contacts for just that account, it shows 2 of teh same contact, but I cant delete or merge them, nor are they found as duplicates in the contacts search for duplicates... Any ideas? Ive tried disconnecting my yahoo account and re-syncing, same thing...

Follow up: I spent 45 minutes last night with an Apple tech on the phone. If you have a similar issue, go to iCloud.com and delete duplicates etc THERE. iCloud Contacts is the "root" base. Make SURE that on your other devices iCloud Contacts is your default account. I was using Contacts "on my iMac," then merging and unmerging with iCloud. That is what likely caused my duplicates and corrupted cards.

Iphone 4 automatically sending nuisance/ viral e-mail messages from my yahoo account to members of my phone/ e-mail/ facebook contact list. What can I do to stop this?

This has occurred on 2 different occassions. In both cases, I can not identify a viral email that I would have opened that could have started this as we are very cautious about opening unknown emails, and definately NEVER double click on links that come through in nuisance/ spam type e-mails.
This morning was the second time that it appears my iphone was somehow involved in automatically sending out a mass nuisance message to all my contacts (phone contacts/ facebook contacts/ yahoo contacts). The email contained no message - except for a single link to an unknown destination of course since I refuse to dbl click on it to see what I have sent out to my friends.
This is the second time it has happened. I have posted on facebook to all my friends to not open the message. I have deleted ALL my contacts from both my phone and from yahoo contact list. I even deleted facebook and all it's info. from my phone to remove their contact lists. I don't want this to keep happening to my friends. The only thing I haven't deleted is my phone contacts (phone numbers) but I am assuming it may very well happen again since the automatic message was also sent to my phone contacts. (Not sure how that even happens - an auto email to a phone number?)
I have been reading on this site that it is nearly impossible to get a virus on your iphone - however, what other explanation is there? I don't have a PC - I don't have any Windows products in my home. We own 1 ipad and 2 iphones at the moment. I never access my yahoo account from anywhere but my MAC products. What is happening and how can it be resolved?
Thanx!

if it's a message coming from your yahoo account, it means that your account has been compromised, not your phone itself. i would suggest changing the password for your email account

Unable to connect to Yahoo account using Contacts and Calendar

For the last week or so, I've been unable to connect to Yahoo's CardDAV or CalDAV servers from Contacts, Calendar, or Reminders. Every time I open either application, it asks for my password, and when I enter it, it says "the server returned an error" and asks for the password again. My Yahoo account still works with Mail and Messages.

Try this, which worked for me:
- Close Contacts
- Log into Yahoo.
- Go to Account Info (usually the gear sing)
- Under "Sign In And Security Settings" click on "manage apps and webiste connections"
- Remove/delete all links and connections to your Mac and Contacts.
- Open contacts.
This worked for me, and I had been struggling with it for about a year.

Can't sync contacts with yahoo account (and I do have internet connection!)

When I sync my iPhone 4 with my computer, it says it can't sync with my Yahoo account (as it has been for the past year) because I don't have an internet connection. I have wireless interent connection and I've checked everything - it's hooked up and I've tried to close out programs, restart etc. I have the latest iTunes version on my computer. Thank you for your help in advance...

OK, sounds like you are using Yahoo to store your contacts. If you're having a problem with this, it is highly likely it is on Yahoo's end since they often have server issues, but two things you can try:
If you're currently on wi-fi, turn that off and see if you can access your contacts via 3G.
Try deleting the Yahoo account off your iPhone and re-create it.
Last week my Yahoo account was acting buggy and didn't get resolved until I did both (turned off wi-fi, then deleted and re-created the account over 3G).

Since I downloaded IOS7 on my iPhone 4S, a message pop up: Password Required, enter the password for the yahoo account, every time I enter or edit a contact or use the Reminder. Please help

Since I downloaded IOS7 on my iPhone 4S, a message popup : password required enter the password for the yahoo account, every time I edit or add contact or use reminder. Please help

SSame here. I get the popup even when a call comes in I have to clear the popup before I can answer.. Yahoo email is coming in just fine, so I don't even need to update password.

Synching contact info from yahoo account to ipad

I have tried to synch/add contacts from my yahoo contacts to the ipad and it won't work. I go to settings to safari to autofill and then the on button will not stay on and the contacts page is blank. I can't get anything to appear but empty lines. I have read the manual several times and I still get nowhere. Had no trouble with google mail, but most of my contacts are in my yahoo account,

With your iPad connected to your computer go to the Info Pane and there are check boxes for syncing various items. From page 31 of the iPad Users Guide:
Contacts
You can sync contacts with applications such as Mac OS X Address Book, Yahoo!
Address Book, and Google Contacts on a Mac, or with Yahoo! Address Book,
Google Contacts, Windows Address Book (Microsoft Outlook Express), Windows
Vista Contacts, or Microsoft Outlook 2003 or 2007 on a PC. (On a Mac, you can sync
contacts with multiple applications. On a PC, you can sync contacts with only one
application at a time.)
If you sync with Yahoo! Address Book, you only need to click Configure to enter your
new login information when you change your Yahoo! ID or password after you’ve
set up syncing.

When I respond to "contact us" on web site, sometimes it goes to my paid Yahoo account, sometimes to Mail. How do I program to always go to Yahoo?

I use Yahoo mail (paid). I never use Mail. 75% of the time when trying to respond to an email address from a website, I'm sent to Mail, which, of couse, will not process my request...soo, I wind up cutting/pasting..jotting stuff down, etc. How can I make ALL requests to send email go to my Yahoo account?
Thanks for your time.

Yahoo would have to either offer you IMAP or POP settings to use in a mail client of your own, or have a persistant popup that watches for the mailto request to use their website. If you really hate Mail, and can get the former, there is always Thunderbird, or Eudora, or Mailsmith.

IPhone cannot send email using Yahoo account. iPhone no envia correo Yahoo.

Hi Everyone,
I just got my iPhone from Movistar Venezuela and I've found I'm unable to send email using my Yahoo account. However, I can receive Yahoo email just fine (paid $20 for Mail Plus subscription), my GMail account can send and receive perfectly, and I can go surfin' Safari with no problems too.
The error message I get is "Cannot send mail: an error occurred while delivering this message". I called Movistar Customer Support and they said everything was fine on their end...
In typical Apple fashion, the error message is so simple I have no idea where the problem is. Does anyone know how can I get more information and how to solve this annoying problem? My Yahoo account is actually my primary account...
Thanks in advance!
Saludos a todos,
Acabo de comprarme un iPhone de Movistar en Venezuela y me encuentro sin poder enviar emails con mi cuenta Yahoo. Sin embargo, si puedo recibir correo Yahoo bien (pague $20 por mi suscripcion a Mail Plus), mi cuenta de GMail si puede enviar y recibir email sin problema y puedo navergar con Safari sin ningun problema.
El mensaje de error que recibo es el siguiente": "No se puede enviar correo: se ha producido un error al enviar el mensaje". Llame a Atencion al Cliente de Movistar y me dijeron que no habia ningun problema con mi linea o con su servicio de datos...
Como tipica cosa Apple, el mensaje de error es tan simple que no tengo NI IDEA de cual es el problema. Alguien mas ha sufrido este problema? Sabe alguien como puedo obtener mas informacion de este error y como solucionarlo? Lamentablemente, mi cuenta Yahoo es mi correo principal...
Gracias de antemano!

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

I am trying to setup a yahoo account on my 4s. I am getting verification sent to yahoo account. I won't verify on the iphone.

I am having trouble setting up an additional yahoo account on my 4s. I have one setup already and it works fine. When I start setting up the account I put in the information and touch next it doesn't verify the account. It gives me a pop up window that says verification sent to yahoo mail.

Contact Microsoft. They provide support for their products. Or look at the Office for iPad support website.

Whenever I send an e-mail with my yahoo account which is also my apple ID a small icon (personal) picture is attached to the e-mail. How do I remove this picture from being attached to all of my outgoing messages?

Everytime I send a message from my yahoo account (which is also my appleID account) a small icon picture (which is a pic of my ex-boyfriend) is attached to the e-mail heading. I'm able to notice I want to remove this from happening. The picture is displayed on my iphone when I open up the mail.
Steps I take:
1. I write an e-mail message from my yahoo account to my other .edu account on a desktop computer.
2. I send the e-mail message from my yahoo account to my other .edu account on a desktop computer.
3. When I open up my .edu account on my iPHONE, there is a new message from my yahoo account.
4. Upon opening the e-mail message on my iPHONE, in the title heading it has the title of the email along with a small (upper right) picture on the iPHONE.
Another thing that I tested was the same thing on my iPAD for text messages:
1. I set up my text messages to my yahoo account (which is also my apple ID account)
2. I send a text message to a person and the same small icon picture is shown on the ipad with each message that is sent
3. The person receiving the text message does not get the small icon picture; however, on the ipad it shows this picture (WHICH NEEDS TO BE REMOVED)
I need to determine how this icon picture is associated with both my yahoo and apple ID account. The funny thing is that I don't have this picture on any of my devices (mac, iphone, ipad). It has been completely removed from all of my technology sources. I'm thinking it has to be something to do with the origniation of my apple ID.
PLEASE HELP ME....this picture is hurting my professionalism when I send outgoing messages.
Thanks.

I need to reset my Apple ID (a Yahoo account). My problem is the Yahoo account is disabled and can't be recovered and I don't remember the answers to the security questions. How can I reset my password?

I had to reset my IPhone device to the factory setting, but when I wanted to start using the IPhone, it requires the original Apple ID which I do not recall the password. I tried to reset the password by receiving it through my Yahoo account (Apple ID) I found out that the email has been disabled due to the long period I didn't use it and can not be recovered moreover I do not remember the answers to the security questions.
I need help on how to reset my Apple ID password as I cant not use my IPhone any more.
