How do I disable yahoo contact sync?

After installing 10.7.2 on my 2010 21.5 iMac, I started getting popup Yahoo windows asking if I wanted to sync my contacts. I keep clicking cancel but every 15 min or so, the same window comes up. I have checked my address book and I have it set to sync with iCloud. I have not set anything to sync with Yahoo. How can I disable or remove Yahoo from asking to sync my contacts?

MAKE IT STOP!!!!
I am also having the exact same problem! I have done the same as Nyghtone by
- Deleting iCal sync
- Making sure I was not signed into MobileMe (I wasn't as I haven't used MobileMe other than find my iPhone)
- Deleting yahoo email accounts
- Deleting keychain referrences
- Etc, etc, etc...
- Yada, yada, yada....
(I have not actually done the resetting the sync framework per http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627, but I am not convinced this is the source.) This problem began right after I upgraded my iPhone and iPad to iOS 5 and activated the cloud.
There has to be a solution other than me clicking cancel every 15 minutes.

How to get rid of yahoo contacts syncing?

Reposting from another board, because I wasn't getting any replies there.
I had to set up an iPod touch for my boss's son a while a go and I used Yahoo address book syncing at that time. Now, few months later, I got a 3GS for myself and whenever I sync it with my iTunes at work(Vista machine), Yahoo contacts sync window comes up, warning me that it's about to erase all of my contacts. I get a choice of canceling it, but it's still really annoying, especially since I have contact syncing turned off for my phone. Please help!

Choose Preferences from the Safari menu, open the General pane if needed, and change it. If that doesn't work, open the Extensions tab and turn off everything you don't recognize.

How do I stop my contacts syncing with Outlook 2011?

Hi - I have been using Outlook 2011 but I want to stop using it because it's really buggy. I have opened sync services in Outlook and unchecked all, but how do I make my contacts sync with Address book again? At present they will not

What is syncing between them ? If calendars, contacts, safari favourites then are you using the same iCloud account on both devices and have them enabled in Settings > iCloud on both ?
If apps, music, and/or ibooks that you buy on one device are automatically downloading on the other device then do you have automatic downloads enabled for them in Settings > iTunes & App Store on your phone/iPad ?

Help! Yahoo contacts sync

Has anyone been able to sync yahoo contacts through itunes to their iphone. I enter my username and password in the info tab on the yahoo contact sync in itunes and than nothing happens.
Thanks

I had my Yahoo contacts on my phone (with no problems), but had to reset the whole freaking phone for another reason/problem. Now, I cannot seem to get my Yahoo contacts back onto the phone. I keep getting a message saying I don't have an internet connection, so it won't upload the contacts to the phone. I tried disconnecting the phone, opening the internet and logging into Yahoo, then reconnecting the phone and attempting to upload the contacts... still says the same 'no internet connection' message. I definitely am fully connected to the internet. I am pretty frustrated with this phone after 8 days. T'

Yahoo Contact Sync Alert for Deleted Account

I keep getting a yahoo contact sync alert every thirty minutes or so - most annoying as I don't want to sync any contacts, and it wants to sync with a deleted account. This happened after the upgrade to Lion.

I don't see anywhere in iCloud where I can delete the account. I do maintain the account in Mail, but I looked in there before I posted anything here and it's not set to sync contacts. This is the only thing I have a problem with is that it's trying to sync contacts. I don't want to do this anymore and haven't done it for a while. I would just tell it OK and be done with it, but the contacts on Yahoo don't match up with the contacts on my Mac/on iCloud...and the only options are to replace with the Yahoo contacts or merge the contacts. I don't want to do either, and there's no option to replace the Yahoo contacts. One other thing that I didn't note before is that it's only doing it on my MacBook Air. It's not doing it on any of my other Macs which were also set to sync with Yahoo at one time, but had the sync turned off.

Why aren't Yahoo contacts syncing to iCloud?

I have 2 contacts groups on my iPad. I have an iPad group and a Yahoo group. I can see all of my contacts on my iPad, but on iCloud.com I can only see my iPad contacts. If I click the groups ribbon, it only shows one group. What am I doing wrong? All of my iCloud syncs are on, but the yahoo contacts do not show on iCloud. Only one group shows on the iCloud ribbon.

Only an iCloud group will sync with iCloud.

IPhone with Yahoo contact sync: "unknown error (4)"

When I try to sync with my iPhone, I get "itunes could not sync with yahoo address book because an unknown error occurred (4)". This has happened consistently for about a month. I have an iPhone 3GS, with iOS 4.2.1, and iTunes 10.1.1, running on Windows XP (SP3).
I have tried reinstalling all Apple software by following directions in http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923. This does not resolve the problem. I have also tried reseting the iPhone and using various options in iTunes such as Info > Advanced > Replace information on this iPhone. Also, I just had my iPhone replaced due to hardware reasons, so this is a brand new phone (but restored from my old backup) and still has the same issues.
I have seen a similar post of this error from 3 years ago stating that although the error occurs, sync still happens. In my case I can't say sync is happening. Most changes I make I do not see reflected (either changes in Yahoo or iPhone don't sync to one another), however in on case a contact I made in my Yahoo address book did sync to my iPhone. Later I deleted it from Yahoo, and the contact then did NOT get deleted from the iPhone after a sync. So, needless to say, if sync is working it is extremely inconsistent.
Anyone else having this issue?

This must be a very common error that I would expect Apple to reply to. I too and getting the exact issue as Tomes...when I sync my iPhone to yahoo contacts, I get "itunes could not sync with yahoo address book because an unknown error occurred (4)". This has happened consistently for about a month. I also have an iPhone 3GS, with iOS 4.2.1, and iTunes 10.1.1.4, running on Windows XP (SP3).
I have done exhausted tests and I can confirm....1) It is NOT a connectivity issue since my yahoo contact do get synced on my iPhone but MY iPHONE CONTACTS DO NOT GET UPDATED ON MY YAHOO CONTACTS!!! This is a MAJOR problem since I mostly add new contacts to my iPhone. 2)When I do change an existing contact on my iPhone, during the sync it will ask me to review and chose which of the two to use...However, if I choose the iPhone change it does not update the Yahoo contact.....so again it is connecting to Yahoo but there is a bug that can absolutely be replicated.
Can someone from Apple look into this? I have seen so many posts on this but no answers. (Also, I get the same error on my iPad!!!! when syncing contacts).

Yahoo Contact Sync when 2 accounts added?

So I just recently added my second yahoo mail account to my iPhone (yeah I have my reasons for two) but when I went to sync it, it said there was an error in yahoo address sync and to try again later.
Could this be because I have two yahoo accounts?
My second account dose not have any addresses on it.
Thanks for any help.

After spending some time with Chat support, I have found that in order to re-establish a sync with Yahoo! contacts (should it have failed),
1. delete your Yahoo! account (all aspects, messaging, email, calendar, contacts)
2. restart the phone.
3. Open Accounts app
4. Add "Email Account" (do not choose Yahoo!)
5. Choose items that you wish to sync as usual.
For some reason, the Yahoo! setting is giving errors with the contact sync.
Hope this helps

Yahoo contact sync problem

I keep adding contacts on my iphone and then they momentarily show up in yahoo contacts and then I come back and they are removed. I have the latest version of iOS on my iphone 4s. Anyone else having this issues?

In a word, no.
Yahoo supports accessing a Yahoo account as an IMAP account with the iPhone's Mail application only - Yahoo doesn't support accessing the account as an IMAP account with an email client on your computer or with any other email client, which defeats the purpose and is required for what you are wanting.
When creating the account with the iPhone's Mail application using the Yahoo account preset, the account is created as an IMAP account. This will work in conjunction when accessing the account via webmail access using a browser, but it won't work in conjunction when accessing the account with an email client on your computer since the account can be accessed as a POP account only with an email client on your computer.

Iphone contacts - I have a contacts back up file with me in .VCF mode, how could I get those contacts sync with my new iphone (as I lost my iphone a week back), or esle at least how to open .VCF file.

Hi I lost my iphone 4 a week back, but I have the contacts back up. now I bought new phone.
so tell me how could I import all my contacts to new phone, or esle at lease how to open .VCF file in excel. or outlook

You should be syncing your contacts with an app on your computer or cloud service (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, etc), and not relying on a backup. If you haven't been doing this, start now and then restore your old backup. You will then be able to sync the new contacts back into the phone. However, you will lose all messages, etc newer thant the backup.

You can't you either set it up as a new phone and then set up all the settings again and then sync your contacts, calendars and photos. Then manually select the applications you want to include
OR
Restore your device using a previous backup

How can I back up Contacts synced from an Exchange server into iCloud?

Hi everybody. I would like to back up into iCloud my Contact (and Calendars too) which I have previously synced to the device ( that is an iPad air running iOS 8.2.1) from an Exchange server. The green flags in Settings / ICloud are duly switched on but no contact will appear under Groups/all iCloud. Is this feature feasible at all or is there something missing in the procedure I follow ? I'll appreciate any clues. Piero

Hi Brendan. Thanks for your clue but unfortunately that did not solve the problem. Prior to posting my query I had already checked out the article you're referring me to (whose URL is http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3605). It may well be that I'm not being crystal clear owing to my far from perfect English but the whole point is precisely that I'm not able to import contacts which ALREADY appear on my iPad - being the outcome of syncing my remote MS Exchange account with the device - into iCloud. The procedure described in the quoted article simply doesn't work (for that matter, no such Setting sign pops up under ICloud contacts). In fact, it appears that the only contacts which I'm able to keep under iCloud are those which I directly create from scratch within iCloud Group itself. Since I'm likely to have my MS outlook account ( which is mirrored into a MS Exchange one for remote usage) forcibly deleted in one month time or so, I started worrying about how to keep my contacts alive/ intact after that deletion. Hope the issue got clearer now ... Cheers, Piero.

How do I delete numerous contacts & sync w/MacBook?

1. Most of the contacts on my iphone are disorganized after import from old simm card (not an iphone). I would like to REMOVE most of these contacts -but not one-by-one as there are many in the address book. Is there a way to edit/delete multiple MARKED contacts as is possible with email? Then I would like to sync with my laptop contacts. Apple guide says I "can sync" with computer, but it does not mention specificaly how. (I do wish to retain SOME of the existing contacts on the iPhone)
2. Also, I would like to REPLACE ALL the contacts in my MacBook address book with the updated contacts from my desktop mac. How is that done?
3. My desktop is an old Powermac G5 (OS 10.5.8), the MacBook is a recent MacBook Pro (OS 10.7.2) and my iPhone is a 4S. Is it possible to sync all three? And if so, how?
(I have exported the contacts from the G5, but want to REPLACE the MacBook contacts, not APPEND, which would cause duplication)
Thanks,

The only way to delete iPhone contacts is one by one. If you want this feature, let Apple know at www.apple.com/feedback/

I have a new macbook pro. I'm seeing my wife's iphone contacts on my icloud. I can't figure out how to get my iphone contacts synced up with my new macbook and get rid of her contacts. Suggestions?

I have a new macbook pro. I'm seeing my wife's iphone contacts on my icloud. I've done everything I know to do to make sure my apple id is correct and has my information. I can't figure out how to remove her contacts and add my iphone contacts to the cloud or my macbook pro. Any suggestions? Thanks.

You should also ask this in the MacBook Pro forum. This is the forum for the 13” white and black plastic MacBooks that were discontinued in 2010. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.
