Crash in YahooSync when trying syncing with Yahoo Address Book

My iPhone (fw 1.1.1) works fine. I tried to syn with my contacts on the Yahoo address book. When I click on "syn contacts with Yahoo! Address Book" in iTunes (latest vesion 7.4.3.1) it pops up the login dialog.
Then it crashes (login on the website works fine).
iTunes says: "unknown error (6)".
Any idea how to solve this?!

While researching I found the following doc on Apple called
"iPhone: Exception error when syncing with Yahoo! Address Book" at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305851
Currently I just have telephone numbers in my contacts, no e-mail addresses. So that can't be the problem. I also replaced special characters like ö, ä and so on.
When I retried now I got the same error

  • Iphone does not sync with Yahoo Address Book

    Hi My iPhone does not sync with Yahoo Address book. iTunes comes back with an error
    "iTunes could not sync with Yahoo Address Book.Because an Internet connection not available"
    This make no sense as I am conected to the internet. iTunes can acess the iTunes Store without a problem. I can also access the Web.
    Any ideas?

    I ran into this problem just within the past couple of weeks.  I found someting on another discussion group on the net about someone with the same problem.  They said that it was because one of their notes was too long.
    I looked at my notes and wouldn't you know it, I created a couple of extra long notes a couple of weeks ago!  I deleted them and I am able to sync without errors again.  I didn't know there was a size limit for a note on the iphone.
    PS.  I have an iPhone 3GS, iOS 5.1.1, iTunes 10.6.3.25

    Think i've checked and reentered all passwords but still no luck?

    my friend, your iPhone settings will always have precedence....anything you want to delete, delete in the phone and then sync with Yahoo and everything will be as you want.

  • Itunes could not sync with yahoo address book because an internet connectio

    Hello Windows users,
    My original iPhone has been unable to sync contacts to my yahoo account. This was not always the case, for many months all was well with syncing.
    In searching for a resolution to this I found http://www.thisllwork.com/2008/05/itunesyahoosy.html
    This solution did not work for me. I've also tried to delete the Yahoo! mail account on the phone, sync then add the same account back to the phone, sync again. I still get the internet connection error.
    What has worked is syncing to my Outlook, then switching the sync menu back to Yahoo! and clicking 'sync' once more. Then Voila! I have synced my contacts to yahoo! online. **This works only once!** without removing the iphone from the dock, or closing iTunes I click 'sync' again and get the error message again.
    I know many other Win XP users have this issue, I've read the posts, and noticed they get archived without resolution. Would Apple like to help? I'm considering buying a Macbook. +*hint hint *Wink *Wink+

    i had problems wit my yahoo contact sync too, i used gmail and it worked perfectly. do u have a proxy running?

  • Desktop Manager fails to synch with Yahoo Address Book on my 8300

    I have been synching both Yahoo Address Book and Yahoo Calendar successfully for months.  Suddenly, Address Book no longer synchs.  Yahoo calendar still works.  The problem occurs aftew Desktop reads all the contacts.  It halts while "Synchronization Progress...reading from Yahoo Address Book" displays.  That message has displayed for up to an hour with no progress.  I then disconnect and halt Desktop.  I can still synch Yahoo Calendar.  I have not updated desktop or device software.  Anybody have any suggestions?

    No Sync with Yahoo Address Book Workaround:
    Work Around for Blackberry to Yahoo Sync when Address Book Sync Gets Stuck:
    I've had the Address Book on my Yahoo Sync hang on two different occasions.  The first time was late 2009 and the second was late Jan 2010.  The first time the problem fixed itself. This time, no such luck yet.  So if you are having the same problem, here's a work around that will allow you to update both your Yahoo and Blackberry Contacts and keep them in sync.
    Step 1: From Yahoo, EXPORT your contacts to Windows Contacts (I did this in Vista and it also works for Windows 7 -- it should also work for XP, but the export may be a different expension).  You will want to export using the 'vCard, Zip of .VCF files'.  his will create a zip file of all your contacts with in the vcard format: (.VCF) 
    Step 2: Some manual labor in this step, but you will only have to do it once OR you can try a .vcf to .contact file converter program like:
    http://www.vcardconverter.com/ that will cost you 19.95. Open each contact in the zip file. It will show you the contact data and there will be a button that you can click to ADD TO MY CONTACTS.  Do this for each contact in the exported zip file. Or but the program. 
    You now have your Yahoo Address Book converted over to Window Contacts.
    Step 3: In the Blackberry Desktop Manager change your synchronization setting for your address book from Yahoo to 'Window Address Book/Mail'.  Leave the Calendar, MenoPad, and Task to sync with Yahoo.  So you should have:
    Calendar sync to Yahoo
    MemoPad sync to Yahoo
    Address Book sync to Windows Address Book/Mail
    Task sync to Yahoo
    Step 4: You now can perform a sync to you Blackberry Device. (But read the notes below first)
    SOME IMPORTANT NOTES:
    This allows you to get your contacts into your Blackberry and to sync them with your Windows Contacts.  You can make this a three way sync where you also keep your Windows Contacts and Yahoo Address Book in sync.  It just adds an extra sync.  NOTE: If you are going to do this then pay the 20 bucks and buy the program above or find a program to convert .contact files to vcf (vcard) files. I've decided to buy the program above because it allows me to import and export all the contacts at one time, which is what you will need to use the import / export tools in Yahoo Contacts
    I did the sync of the address book in steps.  I was lucky / unlucky because I tried to do a Blackberry software upgrade that failed and it wiped out all of my contacts, calendar, tasks, and memos; so when I did my first sync, I when only from the Blackberry Desktop Manager to my Blackberry.  I then changed my sync to be a two way sync.  I only mention this because I don't know if going from Windows Contact to Blackberry would create duplicate entries in your Blackberry and Windows Contact Manager.  Maybe someone can check this out and post. Anyway, I would suggest trying the sync with only a few contacts to check it out.
    You don't need to worry about the folder that the Blackberry Desktop Manager will store the contacts.  It assumes the 'Contacts' folder on you machine.  As far as I could tell, there was no way to change this destination anyway.
    ALTERNATIVE APPROACH:
    If I was to do this all over, and I had my contacts still on my blackberry, I would most likely do the following (in theory):
    Step 1.
    Change the sync for contacts to be with Windows Address Book, not Yahoo.
    Step 2.
    Sync the contacts so they would appear in the Windows Contacts.
    Step 3. Then worry about syncing Windows Contacts with Yahoo (see above)
    Good luck,

  • Sync Address Book with Yahoo Address book?

    Hi there,
    just wondering if its possible to some how sync Address Book with Yahoo Address book?
    That is... I have an elaborate Address Book setup on Yahoo, I'd like it so that if I use Yahoo Address Book and create/delete contacts that when I get home and use Address Book, Address Book syncs the contacts structure to the yahoo structure, without me manually intervening...
    Is this possible or is there a tool/widget that does this already?
    Thanks

    while looking for somehting else, i found something here in the discussions that might do the trick. it involves another web-based address book, but might work for you. try getting the plaxo address book plug-in, and then sync your yahoo contacts with plaxo, and then sync that with address book. i'm not sure of the order that would give you the best results, but i'm working on using plaxo as an online backup of my address book, as i will most-likely not be using plaxo otherwise.
    my concern for you would be whether one would write over the other, so back up your address book first, or even export the entire thing as a vcard file to your desktop, and then you can re-import and merge them... that way you can sync with your yahoo account, and then add whatever is already in your address book and merge whatever is necessary.
    search here in the discussions for the plaxo plug-in, and see if that sounds like it would work for you. the only issue i have right now is that it seems that the plaxo install has somehow affected my icalfix plug-in, but i'll look into fixing that this weekend, i'm sure i just need to move some plug-ins around.
    cheers,

  • For everyone who can't sync your iPhone with Yahoo Address Book

    Hello all,
    I was having trouble syncing my Yahoo address book with my iphone. I kept getting the "iTunes could not sync with Yahoo! Address Book because an Internet connection is not available." window.
    This is what I did to solve the problem, at least for me.
    Add your Yahoo account to iPhone under “mail”. Make sure you use your full e-mail address, [email protected]
    Launch iTunes first, then connect the iPhone.
    Enter in your full e-mail address ([email protected]) and password in iTunes.
    Allow the following applications to access the Internet (I’m using a firewall):
    iTunesHelper Module
    iTunes
    AppleMobileBackup.exe
    AppleMobileSync
    iTunes then synced with Yahoo every time.
    This was done on Windows XP. I do not think this problem occurs on a Mac.

    Hey playadelcarmen,
    Make sure the Mac is updated, click the Apple> Software Updates.
    Use the steps in this article to reinstall iTunes and the Apple Mobile Device Service.

  • Entourage Sync with iCal & Address Book - Fixed!

    Finally found a solution that really works.
    Background
    I had the infamous issue of trying to get Entourage Calendar and Contacts to Sync with iCal & Address book for the purpose of syncing with iTunes on my iPhone.
    I've had most of the symptoms listed on this site.
    It only syncs one way, Entourage Calendar shows up in iCal, but it's blank, Entourage Calendar does not show up at all in iCal, but contacts show up in Address book.
    I've read nearly every post about it and tried all the various fixes listed, but none of them worked, or at least not consistently.
    My setup:
    OS X 10.5.5 MacBook Pro (latest updates)
    Entourage 2004 (latest patches)
    (If your using Mobile me, log out before you do this)
    Here's what you'll need to do:
    1. Backup your Main Identity which contains all your entourage info, email, contacts, calendars, etc. (Just in case you goof something up)
    It's located in your home user account ~User/youraccount/documents/Microsoft User Data (Backup this whole folder)
    If you don't know all your email credentials such as username, password, smtp, pop info, jott it down as it will save you some time later.
    2. Launch Entourage and uncheck the Sync Services. Quit Entourage and all Office Apps.
    Also you should archive all your entourage data if you want to copy it to the new setup.
    Archive the contacts and Calendar Events separately.
    3. Launch iCal and manually delete the Entourage Calendar (if present) Quit iCal.
    4. Now open your documents folder and locate the folder named Microsoft User Data and rename the folder to Microsoft User Data Original
    5. Create a new OS X User from the System Preferences... Accounts
    6. Logoff your current user account and login to your new user account.
    7. Launch Entourage and enter your email info.
    8. Now create a single calendar event.
    9. Go to Entourage Preferences, and check the Sync Services. (click OK, etc.)
    10. Wait 5 minutes, then launch iCal and you will see the Entourage Calendar with your single event.
    You should also see your contact that was created when you setup email in the Address Book.
    If this worked you've isolated the syncing problem to a corrupt file in your user account or corrupt data in your entourage account.
    You can go back to your original user account and delete all the info from entourage to see if you had corrupt data in entourage, (youd did back it up first, right?) or you can follow the procedures below to move all your stuff over to the new login account.
    Now you'll need to migrate your data from your Old login account to your new login account.
    (I've tried just moving the new Entourage identity back to the old account, and it didn't always work)
    The easiest way to move data between accounts is to login as root.
    To enable the root user, Go to Utilities, Directory Utility, and under the edit menu, select enable root user, enter a unique password, later you can disable root login when your all done)
    Logout of your new login and login as root with the new password you just created
    When it prompts for a username type "root". If you don't have that option click the Other login and then type in root as the username and the new password.
    Once your logged in as root, be careful as you can pretty much trash anything without any warnings.
    Now Open your original user folder located in ~User/youraccount as well as the new user you just created
    (not the root account)
    Open the folders side by side and drag the contents from old to new:
    Desktop
    Documents
    iTunes
    Movies
    Music
    plus any other info you need.
    Log back into your new user account, and run a repair permissions from disk utility.
    Launch Entourage and enter a new event and contact. Then wait a few minutes and verify that it made it over to iCal & Address book.
    If it did, and it should have, you can then import your entourage archives, do contacts first, then wait a few minutes and verify it shows up in Address Book, then do your Calendar events and verify.
    When everything is syncing between entourage and iCal/Address Book you can connect your iPhone and enable syncing.
    A few important notes:
    -If you have Years worth of Calendar Items in entourage, you will most likely run into problems, so archive your old Events and only restore that which you need.
    -You may also need to retrieve old application preferences.
    -Once your sure you've got everything, you can delete the Microsoft User Data Original folder that we renamed and put in your Documents Folder.
    Hope this helps somebody out.

    Entourage calendar does not sync as you are expecting, with iCal.
    Turn your Entourage sync services on (to sync your calendar) and you will notice in iCal a new calendar on the left, called Entourage. Mind has a purple color to it, for example.
    Now, in iCal, create a new appointment and assign it TO the Entourage calendar. Now sync, and hey presto it shows up in Entourage.
    This is by design, Entourage does not sync ALL of your iCal calendars, it will only sync the Entourage calendar which is created in iCal.
    For example, I have Home, Work, Personal and Entourage calendars in iCal - appointments I make with my Home, Work or Personal calendar will not appear in Entourage, period. Only appointments made in iCal using the Entourage calendar will appear in Entourage (after a sync).
    Likewise, appointments made IN Entourage Calendar, are sync'd to iCal and are only visible if you show the Entourage calendar in iCal - (it's switched ON by default, but can be switched off by un-ticking the calendar in the left pane of iCal).
    Does this make sense?

  • Sync with Windows Address Book just hangs

    I have iPod Touch 4g, iOS 4.1, iTunes 10.0.1.22, Windows XP (up to date). I sync'd my Windows Address Book to the Touch without issue, I made some updates on the Touch, and now when I try to sync, it just hangs at trying to sync the contacts. No errors, it just indicates that it is syncing. iTunes doesn't actually hang, I can cancel the sync, and I can still sync songs, and it still backs up fine as first sync step.

    As far as I am aware, "identities" is an Outlook Express concept that was dropped by Microsoft some time ago in favour of separate User Accounts along with Windows Address Book being replaced by Windows Contacts. I am also not 100% sure that iTunes will sync with Windows Address book. Do you see it on the drop down menu in the Sync Contacts tab?
    If you do and if iTunes will sync with Windows Address Book you should only see the contacts associated with the identity you are using and shared contacts. If iTunes then syncs, it should sync with the identity you are using at the time of the sync.

  • Problem synching iPhone with Yahoo address book contacts

    Basically what is happening is when I sync most of the yahoo contacts transfer to the iPhone just fine but then I get a message telling me that all of the contacts could not be copied, try again later. I look and it stops after the letter "T". Ive tried several times even after a reboot. I also noticed that when I created a new contact on the iPhone it doesnt get synched over to my yahoo contacts. Any help is appreciated.
    thanks
    Angelo

    What advanced settings are you referring to on the iPhone? The only advanced I have is under my yahoo email account. Update since I last posted, I tried deleting the few entries after the letter "T" that were not synching to the iPhone and recreated them and they now are synching fine but the sync is only working one way, if I create a new contact on the iPhone it shows up in my yahoo address book but if I create a new entry in my yahoo address book and do a sync, it does not sync over to the iPhone.

  • Address Book won't sync with .Mac address book

    When I attempt to sync the address book contatcs on my Powerbook with .Mac, after much spinning and churning, it get the error message:
    "An inconsistency was detected on .Mac for your Contacts data. You may want to reset .Mac from a computer with good data."
    This is the ONLY computer with this contact data. There is no other computer with "good data" to reset .Mac from. I have 776 contacts on this computer and it is my work base. .Mac only has 103 contacts. Sereiously, this is not a joke. You must be prepared to fix your gross errors with this software.
    .Mac sync is probably the worse software implementation on the Apple platform. It has wiped on critical and important data on many occasions my cell phone and my wives Motorola phones. Getting errror messages such as these are alarming and terribly distressing. Where have Apple's standards for quality gone?

    You must be on OS X 10.7 in order to use iCloud.
    OS X 10.7 (Lion) is available in the App Store as a digital download. It is $29. Best practice - be sure to make a backup copy of your computer before upgrading any software.
    After you download and install 10.7 Lion, you will have an iCloud icon in System Preferences.
