Itunes would not sync with yahoo contacts - says no internet connection

Well, i guess i do have internet as i am writing this...After trying for long long time to sync with outlook with no luck at all, i wanted to try to sync iphone with yahoo address book. But every time i get the same message "yahoo could not connect-blah-blah-blah internet connection is not available"
Does anyone know how to fix that problem??? I've spent two days trying to make my dad's iphone to work...

OK; this is pretty flippin' funny. I hope an Apple geek stumbles over this and can carry the multiple levels of irony back to the hive.
I found this thread while searching for solutions to the same problem on my iPod touch. The strong sense of "duh, I am connected to the 'net" really. Goes double for you 'Phone guys.
You guys can't even leave the store without being connected to the 'net; right?
So the first bit of irony is that the sweet and helpful Apple (1) hasn't made the configuration requirement clear and, even more, (2) why it's an issue at all. These are computers; so they could just program it to insert the (painfully) missing "@yahoo.com" automatically. (Can I get a "hellooo?")
But the second bit of irony is that the "sync with Yahoo" procedure is tied exclusively to iTunes. (Need another, "hellooo?" here.) Too bad iPhones aren't autonomously connected to the 'net 24x7. Oh, wait....
I guess this is where Apple gets a reminder that they make the koolade in those commercials -- but they're not supposed to drink it too!

  • Any reason why iTunes would not sync with my iOS device using USB cable?

    Hi there,
    what could be the reason if iTunes won't sync with my iOS 5 devices via USB? The devices are recognized in iTunes (I can see the devices there and all the content stored on these devices), but the sync does not work...
    BTW: I tried several different USB cables already...
    I am using Mac OS X Lion on a MacBook Pro Late 2011.
    Thanks
    Ralf

    I can't recommend any learning resources, especially since what you are going to be doing likely falls under the category of basic untutorialed coding.
    When I decided to take the plunge I had a project in hand that I had just created in AS2, and what I did was restart the project using AS3, tackling each coding element as it came up. One nice thing about AS3 is that it is much better with pointing out coding errors--while cryptic at times, you get better at interpretting them with time--and when you don't get any, chances are you are on the right track.  So you try something and if it flies, great, and if an error message pops up, you pursue solving the error.
    In most cases, the Flash help documents are a sufficient reference, but in other cases I would rely on Google.  Just as a for instance, you mention using key listeners... That would be something I would have serach Google using "AS3 key listener", and I'm willing to bet you'd find something to get you over the hump.  Sometimes it helps to add "tutorial" to the end of a search string... it can help weed out all the others that have psotings on forums that are offering problems rather than solutions.

  • 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+

  • 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

    Thanks

    Settings, Mail Contacts and Calendars, Select the Gmail account, Select "Fetch new Data, and you can try changing the interval to PUSH.  If that doesn't work, change the Fetch frequency to something shorter.  It sounds like you have it set to manually.

  • After installing Mavericks on my iMac, Apple Mail would not sync with my Google Apps email account.  Now Mail crashes every time I open it.  What's up?

    After installing Mavericks on an imac, Mail would not sync with my Google Apps email account.  After I clicked on All Mail the program crashed and now it crashes every time I open Mail.  Does anyone have an suggestions?

    Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
    Isolating an issue by using another user account
    If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account.  Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

  • Itunes will not sync with ipod touch

    itunes is installed with the latest version of itunes. all of a sudden, itunes will not sync with my ipod, itunes sees it, when i click to sync it goes through the motions, but never syncs. I get no messages or errors, it just never syncs. the ipod is seen in my computer as a portable device. windows 7 64 bit system. I had the apple store verify the ipod is fine, they emailed me the directions to uninstall all apple apps and reinstall. still, same thing. some of my playlists will not let me move songs within the playlist either, i get a blue border around the songs when i try to. not all of the playlists, only random ones

  • Music from itunes will not sync with iphone 5

    I just upgraded from iphone 4 to 5 and didnt have time for verizon to sync my phone so i did it when i got home. the music from my itunes will not sync with my phone. it shows the music on the usage bar when the phone is plugged in but shows no content on the phone. any suggestions?

    I have a similar problem. Mine started with iTunes putting multiple versions of the same songs (whole and seemingly random albums) onto my iPod 5, but after trying to remedy that I now cannot sync any music of any sort. It took random songs off and then started getting stuck at the "waiting to apply changes" stage (as apparently many people have seen) and after trying all the things that are supposed to work I now have an iPod that doesn't have any music on it (because a lot of my music was not purchased on iTunes) and won't sync music or finish any other kind of sync.
    It seems like the "fixes" discovered so far don't work for everyone.
    My iPod is 5th gen running iOS 7.0.4 (but problem started on 7.0.3) with the latest version of iTunes, for reference.
