IPhone 5 won't synch Contacts with Yahoo Mail

I have Yahoo Mail and an iPhone 5s with iOS 7.0.4.
I cannot get Contacts to flow from one to the other. In SETTINGS I have both iCloud & Yahoo! as Accounts. I disabled CONTACTS in iCloud.
For the Yahoo Account I have Mail, Contact6s, Calendars, Reminders and Notes all active (Green).
Does iTunes play a role in getting the Contacts to Synch?
I cannot get New Contact I enter into my iPhone to "flow" to Yahoo! and I cannot get New Contacts I enter into Yahoo! to "flow" to my iPhone.
NOTE: I'm askingon behalf of my Lady Friend who has the iPhone 5. I have an iPhone 4S & all works fine.

make sure you have the same email adresses with both devices and enabled. And make sure both icloud accounts are the sam and are enabled on both. You can check this by going to settings>icloud>and check the account and calendar is enabled on both devices

Default Mail app not working with yahoo mail. Won't update.

Default Maill app not working with Yahoo Mail.
It stopped working the other day. I tried everything but it wouldn't update new mail. The yahoo account itself is fine because I can see new mail on Yahoo or a yahoo app.
I tried deleting the account and putting it back on, but now it has 0 mail in any part of it. Nothing has synced.
What do I do?
iPad 2 latest OS.

A lot of people have been unable to access Yahoo e-mail on their iPhones or iPads. My wife’s iPad was not downloading Yahoo mail, although her iPhone was. Both used IOS 8.2. We tried deleting the account several times and troubleshooting all of the other settings. The problem appears to have been that allowing the IOS to automatically create the account on the iPad resulted in the wrong settings for the incoming server. The following procedure, pieced together from two websites, fixed the problem for us. So far, so good.

On the iPhone, tap Settings.
Tap Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Tap your Yahoo account, then delete it.
Tap Add Account.
Tap Other.
Tap Add Mail Account.
Complete the Name, Address (email address), Password and Description fields.
Click Next.
Ensure IMAP is selected.
Enter the following incoming mail server information:
Incoming Mail (IMAP) Server - Requires SSL
Server: imap.mail.yahoo.com
Port: 993
Requires SSL: Yes
Hostname is mail.yahoo.com.
Username is your full email address
Password is the same password used to access webmail.
Enter the following outgoing mail server information:
Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server - Requires SSL
Server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Port: 465 or 587
Requires SSL: Yes
Requires authentication: Yes
Username is your full email address
Password is the same password used to access webmail. It may have been entered for you.
Tap Next.
The iPhone will establish an SSL connection to your IMAP and SMTP servers.
That’s all!

When I click "configure" in Synch Contacts with Google, I enter my google ID and PW, but it doesn't seem to take. I tried the same thing with Yahoo, and nothing happens. What is the problem?

This issue is similar to a question that was asked in Dec 2010, but was not answered, and has not been archived.
I'm hoping someone might have an idea.

iTunes: 10.3.1.55

Problem with iPhone contacts synchronization settings
I am having problems with iPhone contacts synchronization settings in iTunes 10. I have: - iPhone 4 - OS 4.2.1 - Windows Vista PC When I view the device in iTunes and click on "Info" at the top of the screen, I see a box to "Synch contacts with"...in iTunes for Windows,by lindsacl,Dec 4, 2010

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes). 
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]] 
 
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears. 
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions. 
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Double check your contacts email, and if its incorrect, go to their contact and change it and save it or you can delete the email you put in, and manually type it in.
Hope this helps.
How would that help the original poster?

Synching contacts with Outlook does not work

I have a Mac (with the contacts application), an iPhone and an iPad as well as an iCloud account. Synching contacts between all 4 of them works perfectly. However, synching contacts with Outlook 2011 does not work anymore. It used to, then I had some trouble with the synching with the iCloud (due to the fact that I had to change the Apple ID from the one I use for iTunes to the one I use for the Cloud), and since then contacts do not replicate with Outlook anymore. I can deactivate and reactivate the synching in Outlook as much as I want, no change.
Any ideas? Thanks!

So it sounds like you have contacts from multiple mail accounts syncing to/from your iPhone. They will all appear there as long as their respective accounts are checked under contacts/groups(upper left of contact screen).
As far as contacts created on the iPhone, if you select Outlook as your default account for contacts, all contacts created on the iPhone will sync with Outlook. I'm assuming your Outlook syncs with an Exchange Server.
You could connect the iPhone to iTunes and sync all of your contacts to say, a desktop version of Outlook. You could then import that set of contacts into the Exchange version of Outlook.

HT1296 When synching Outlook Contacts and calendars with iTunes for Windows, I do not get the option to "Synch Contacts with". It says, and cannot be changed, that it is synching with iCloud. How do I get iTunes to give me an option other than iCloud?

Using iTunes for Windows to synch my Outlook Contacts and Calendars into my iPhone 5, with the iPhone Device designated and in the Info tab, I do not have the option to "Synch Contacts with", but have an unchangeable message that it is synching with iCloud. How do I create that option to synch with Outlook?

Hi there,
I would recommend taking a look at some of the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.

Outlook 2010 on Windows 7 stopped working (after many years) with Yahoo Mail since End Nov 2013

Yahoo has made design changes to Yahoo month or so ago (Nov 2013). Yahoo now states the Outlook (amongst few other apps) does not work well with Yahoo and Outlook now needs another level of security set up on Yahoo account and a special password generated
by Yahoo Mail. This password now to be used in account configuration in Outlook - instead of your usual account password.
Tried this on different computers and different user account (of family). On different accounts it reports either (A) "Receiving error 0x80042108: Outlook cannot connect to your incoming POP3 server" OR (B) Sending error 0x800CCC80
: None of the Authentication methods supported by this client are supported by your server"
Any one has solution/suggestion.
Another question, why Outlook has been singled out by Yahoo now?

Hi,
Firstly, let’s refer to the following article to check the settings of POP3 account:
http://www.emailquestions.com/microsoft-outlook/8548-fix-pop3-imap-settings-yahoo-mail-yahoo-requires-ssl.html
“The current setting (December 2013) is port 587 + TLS (Authentication required).”

HT1296 how do i make sure the changes i make on my iphone over-ride my contacts in yahoo and outlook?

how do i make sure the changes i make on my iphone over-ride my contacts in yahoo and outlook?

You can turn iMessage off on your iPhone. That's relatively easy. Since iMessage is an Apple product/service, I have no idea how a Samsung phone will deal with an incoming one. For that answer you should probably contact Samsung support.

Having issues with Yahoo mail on ios4 on a 3GS

Is anyone else experiencing issues with Yahoo mail on their 3GS after the upgrade to ios4?? Keep getting an imap server error, but gmail works fine.

Same problem. I have two Yahoo! Mail accounts. One stopped sending mail, while the other was fine. (Both could receive, however.) To solve that, I deleted the problematic account from the phone and reinstalled it. It worked... until I synced by iPhone with iTunes. Now both Yahoo! Mail accounts will not work, and deleting them and reinstalling them does nothing.
Apple had better fix this. (Or I'll whine louder.)

Why can't i make attachments with yahoo mail in the newest Firefox?

i use yahoo mail. in the old versions of firefox it works perfectly. i use now firefox 3.6.25 if i upgrade to the latest firefox, yahoo mail doesn't work anymore. i can't attach anything. the button 'attach' stays grey and unclickable. it is the reason i don't upgrade. can someone help me? o i work on a macbook pro, with mac os 10.6.8 running.

Sorry, I don't have any other suggestions, except that I did find a thread on the Apple Discussions forum about a similar problem with Safari and Yahoo mail attachments:

Re: Safari doesn't work with yahoo mail: always getting beach ball 
Feb 7, 2012 10:15 AM (in response to Anamariela)
Well, my problem with Yahoo Classic is different--I cannot click on some of the buttons! Very weird. No beach ball, but when I attach files to send an email and click on "Attach Files", nothing. Same with a couple others.
Going to try to install the new Flash as Mark suggested. Anyone else have this issue?
I probably should change to Yahoo's newer mail app but I just prefer the Classic version.
You might want to read the other replies in that Apple discussion and try the suggestions ... or just contact Yahoo help, if no one else replies here.

TS3899 problems with yahoo mail

I am having trobule with yahoo mail. I contacted ATT and was told the problem was between Yahoo and apple. does anyone has any other information on how to solve the problem?

Do you see an error when trying to receive mail? If not, then it is probably a Yahoo issue. They are infamous for having problems and servers going down in the iOS Mail program. Check with them.
