Help with syncing yahoo contacts

currently sync my contacts with outlook but am soon to change it to sync with yahoo!
When I sync them for the 1st time will all the info on the iphone be transferred to yahoo or the other away around??
I know this sounds daft but my contact list on yahoo isn't upto date and don't particularly want to loose my up to date data.
All advice greatfully received!

yes it is, but once you have it set up it will sync with your Address Book at the click of a button! I have only discovered this in the past couple of weeks and for the first time ever I can sync my contacts at home with Yahoo and also sync all my contacts on my windows work pc with Yahoo. In effect Yahoo Contacts is now the database for all of my contacts and will sync effortlessly with my PC, my Mac, and consequently my iPhone!!
See the Help section on the Yahoo Mail webpage for more info.

Sync Yahoo contacts via iTunes or Address Book?

I currently sync my iPhone contacts with my Mac Address Book, via iTunes. I want to start syncing with my Yahoo contacts also.
There are (at least) two ways to do this:
I can configure iTunes to sync with both Address Book and Yahoo contacts when I sync the iPhone.
I can configure Address Book to automatically sync with Yahoo contacts, in which case I would just continue syncing the iPhone with Address Book as I do now.
What are the differences between these two approaches? For example, will the Yahoo contacts be kept out of my Address Book with the first option but not the second?

I decided to try syncing via Address Book, and it worked great.
FYI, what I was trying to accomplish is having a single contact store in Address Book, Yahoo, on the iPhone, and on my new Samsung Galaxy Tab. The Tab doesn't support syncing contacts with Yahoo, only Google, so I actually had to sync everything through Google.
Here's what I did:
1. Synced the Address Book with Yahoo contacts to merge those.
2. Manually cleaned up the merged contacts in Address Book, then synced again.
3. Synced the Address Book with Google contacts (in addition to Yahoo contacts). Since I don't use gmail, I didn't have any existing Google contacts.
4. Verified that the contacts were now in Google.
5. Synced contacts for the Google account on my Galaxy Tab.
I now have all my contacts everywhere I need them. I think using the Address Book rather than iTunes to sync with Yahoo and Google was the better choice, since I can do it from the Mac without sycning my iPhone.

New to iPhone and need help with syncing contacts.

I know how to change the settings in the iTunes view so that I can set it to sync, but when I started the transfer of my iPhone contacts it tells me that 25% of my contacts will change. What does this mean? Does this mean that the contacts on my iPhone will change, or the contacts in my Address Book on my MBP will change?
I'm a bit confused by this. I don't want to lose my address book info (mostly e-mail contacts) and I don't want to contaminate my iPhone contacts with the data in my Address Book.
Thanks for any help.

One alternative would be to set up iCloud and then sync your contacts there. This would keep them on www.iCloud.com (see http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/ to set this up). Another would be to sync them with Google by setting up a gmail account as and exchange account, which enables contact and calendar syncing. To do this see http://support.google.com/mobile/bin/answer.py?hl=en&topic=14252&answer=138740.

Is anyone else having difficulty syncing yahoo contacts with icloud?

I don't know how long it has been since my yahoo contacts quit syncing with icloud to my ipod touch 4g. I've tried every possible combination today and nothing will get it to work other than going back to the old way of syncing through itunes with the cable connected.
The yahoo group of contacts is blank on my ipod but it seems to be syncing with the "All from My Pc" group which I don't quite understand. I thought before the yahoo group of contacts was full of the yahoo syncd contacts.
I use Yahoo mail so I'm not crazy about moving over to Google although I did already move to use the Google calendar with an android tablet and I am syncing the google calendar just fine with both the android tablet and the ipod touch.
Thanks,
Nic

Yes, I've had call quality issues with my S5. I can hear callers just fine. To them, I sound broken, or they hear nothing but static and garbled noise. Speakerphone works, but is not ideal. Bluetooth works, but I'm not always in my car or connected to bluetooth. A plugged in headset works.
For a time, turning off bluetooth seemed to resolve this. Then I did the update to Lollipop, and the issue intensified. I've tried multiple setting combinations (HD calling off and on, Bluetooth off and on, network Global to LTE/CDMA, Noise reduction off and on, etc...) I've done a system cache clear, FDR, deactivated and reactivated.... finally activated another phone I had available since the S5 was pretty much unusable as a phone. And I'm waiting for a patch to see if it makes a difference.
I wish I had a solution....

Not sure what you are asking. Are you asking about syncing to your computer in general? Or syncing to your yahoo calendar? (which can't be done wirelessly either).
Yahoo calendar can't be synced to the iPhone -- you need to sync it to either Outlook or iCal or Entourage, then sync to your iPhone. Do you have it configured properly?
First, nothing on the iPhone will sink wirelessly, so you need to be connected to your computer through a USB 2 port.
It can NOT go through a hub, and must be plugged directly into your computer.
Second -- do you have the most recent versions of all the software? What are you using, mac or pc? It isn't running Vista, is it (if on a PC).
Third -- if you still have problems, disconnect -- reset your iPhone, reboot your computer, and try again.
Fourth -- If you still have problems remove both Quicktime and iTunes from your computer -- reboot -- and redownload the newest versions of both Quicktime and iTunes and try syncing again.
Fifth -- if you still have problems, disconnect -- reboot your computer, then Restore your iPhone from iTunes.
Finally -- if none of that works, then a call to cusomer service is in order.
A sync takes about 40 seconds -- and copying music over takes only a half-minute per album or so.
You would do best to google "How to sync Yahoo calendar with iPhone" and you will find many solutions -- and many many problems too.

Can Mac Desktop Manager sync Yahoo contacts & calendar

Helping a friend with a Mac. want to see what is possible before talking to him so he doesn't get confused. He is using yahoo mail.
Can the new software on Mac sync calendar & contacts in Yahoo to phone? Or does it only do addressbook and iCal?
I don't see a PDF manual for the software. Is there one?

Sync yahoo contact and got address all mixed up

I just sync my yahoo contact to my iPhone and saw that I have lots of friends named AAA. Also, some addresses and phone numbers are all mixed up. It feels like someone just grabbed the addresses and swapped them. Can anyone tell me what's going on? What can I do to avoid this happening again? Much thanks.

When the iphone is connected to the computer and itunes is open, click on edit at the top of itunes and choose preferences.
When the preferences window opens, click on the iphone or syncing tab.
Near the bottom there is a button to reset sync history.
Click ok on the preferences window.
Now go to the info tab in the iphone settings and scroll to the bottom.
There is a check box in the advanced section to replace all contact data on the iphone.
Check this box and click apply.
This will replace any contact data on the iphone with a new copy.
Hope this helps.

How do you sync Yahoo contacts and iCal calendar to the Touch

Help results say "If you have an iPod, iPod nano, or iPod mini, you can sync it with Address Book contacts and iCal information on your computer" but we have the Touch. It also says "When the iPod icon appears in iTunes, select it and then click the Contacts tab", but no Contacts tab appears when I select the iPod on the left in iTunes.

The tab you're looking for is called "Info". You should see it just after "Photos".

Need help with syncing, PLEASE

Need to sync 2 iphones (one a 4g other a 3g) each one to a separate computer (wife's desktop with win 7, I have a laptop win vista) and I have only one itune account. I would like to be able to sync all apps to each phone, BUT I only want to sync her contact/address book to hers and only my contacts /address book to my phone.
Is it POSSIBLE?
Any suggestion and help will be appreciated...
Don

Since all 3rd party apps are available in the iTunes library on your computer and you are sharing the same iTunes account, she can sync iTunes content only with iTunes on your computer - music, movies, tv shows, and 3rd party apps without syncing contacts with a supported address book application on your computer. She won't have sync contacts selected under the Info tab for her iPhone sync preferences with iTunes on your computer. She can sync contacts only with a supported address book application on her computer. She won't have Sync Music, Sync Movies, Sync TV Shows, and Sync Apps under these tabs for her iPhone sync preferences with iTunes on her computer.

Thanks for your advice.. How strange as I just downloaded it from the Blackberry website yesterday.. I have now gone again to the Blackberry website to download the lastest version of 6.0 Blackberry desktop software and it started downloading the same file as yesterday.. So I don't understand.. Can you give me a direct link to where I can download the latest software.
Are you 100% positive you are downloading the Desktop Software and not the Device Software? What is the exact filename of what you are downloading? All Desktop Software is available here:

Once having this issue solved, I am still a little confused as to whether I can sync my contacts from my Windows Live email PC program. It says it connects with Microsoft outlook, but with Windows 7 and wanting to access hotmail, the only email program that is compatible these days is WindowsLive mail program.. do you have any ideas or solutions of what program I could use that would be compatible with blackberry and my hotmail, my calendar and contacts?
Only those Organizer apps listed in the prior linked KB are compatible. To synchronize with your BB, you must use one of those.
Good luck!

Help with syncing my iCloud calendars

I have never had a problem with syncing my calendars on iCloud with my laptop, desktop, iPhone and iPad. Recently I have had trouble with things I was putting on my iPhone were not syncing to my iPad. I read through a lot of the tips on here and have tried almost everything. I have removed the calendars and then set up my iCloud account again. I have refreshed numerous times. Nothing seems to work.
Last night I took all of the iCloud accounts off all devices. I mades sure that when I accessed iCloud via the internet that all my calendars were correct. They were.
This morning I added the iCloud acccount back to my iPhone and my iPad. All off the calendars from iCloud synced to these devices minus my personal calendar that is on iCloud. It is just one of the names that I have given my color coded calendar. Nothing is different with this calendar than with the other five color coded calendars that I have.
Does anyone have an idea why this one will not sync? Or suggestions on what I might do or try.
Thank you!
Paul

I have the same problem, I tried the solution of Dr Cox but that didn't work as he said go to system preference then mail, contacts etc. but I don't have that. Can someone help?

Pse help with syncing and nonpurchased music from itunes to iphone using icloud

Pse excuse myself for being such a noob. I am trying to sync music from which i have ripped from cd's to itunes using icloud. When i go into the purchased section there is no music to sync obviously as i havent purchased any music only ripped cd's. I beleive that this is where the music has to go to in terms of syncing to iphone. Is this correct or am i way off pse help guys.

it says that I gotta reset my iPhone to Factory Settings. Which means I will lose all my apps, contacts and stuff.
Why would you lose anything? Your contacts will be in whatever desktop program you have chosen to sync your contacts with, your Apps should be in your iTunes Library, and everything else should be on your computer too (assuming you've been syncing/backing up as designed).
Are you trying to sync music from a different computer than you normally use?

Help with syncing my phone after taking it off auto-sync

I turned off my automatic sync on my iPhone 5 (the option in the Summary that says "Allow this device to automatically sync when plugged in" or something like that) and now when I plug it into my Macbook Pro, it doesn't appear anywhere on my iTunes. I even checked on File > Devices and the menu options to sync it isn't clickable. Help!

Yes. Problem is, I don't believe there's any way to get the existing contacts into Google contacts.
If you set up the phone to sync your contacts to Google, you'll notice when you look at groups in your contact list on the phone (assuming it worked) that you have separate groups for contacts from your computer and contacts from Google. You can't move contacts from one list to another on the phone.
In iTunes you'll see there are options for what application you want to sync your contacts with. If you have a Windows machine, you can sync to Outlook or Windows address book. You may be able to extract the contact list on the phone by turning this on in iTunes.
WARNING: If you're going to do this, make sure you have at least 1 contact in the program you're going to sync to. If you do, it will ask you if you want to merge them. If not, the phone will be overwritten with the blank address book from the computer.
