Removal/Disable Yahoo Sync or iMac Sync in Lion

Here's the problem,
My email account has been compromised so, I deleted it about a few months ago. Everything is fine..cool..Well, in the past i believe I set up yahoo sync with address book. Ok, well I keep getting pop up's asking If I would like to sync the following information-Contacts(which is probably coming from yahoo)..well, ok..so I search around and found out that I would reset sync services..Yay..I did and now I keep getting the message to sync for the first time..well, that didn't solve my problem..So, I decided to search around a little further. Found out I could uncheck syncronization yahoo...ok cool..so i figured that it was checked to I could uncheck it..nope..I checked..it was unchecked..so I was like ***..I figured this might be a software issue with the application or there might be a way I synced it through isync on snow Lepord...well, isync isn't there anymore..so..what do I do? I really don't want to reinstall the OS..so, can I reinstall address book to fix to problem? Or is there a more simple way to resolve this issue..I've tried alot..

Yes, this also driving me nuts. I gave in and said sync and it disappeared and never came back. Unfortunately, for some reason (possibly unrelated) my trial mobile me (I never paid for it), automatically appeared one day and took over 75% of all my contacts! I didn't know this and so I deleted the old mobile me account from address book which then deleted these contacts and then proceeded to wipe the rest of my devices!
I deleted all accounts off address book and reloaded a contacts back from a *.vcf file I had and presto everything back. As soon as I turned on iCloud sync again, so again did this flipping yahoo sync message appear again!
Is this because of old mobile me accounts even those that were just trials that are messing with apple cloud syncing? I have turned everything off and short of deleting my yahoo account I'm not sure what to try next!

  • 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?
    Alice

    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.

  • Project Server 2013 - Remove user from resource pool via sync

    Hello everyone,
    has anyone managed to configure their Project Server 2013 box with a resource pool sync that will actually remove user from the resource pool (disable "User can be assigned as resource" or deactivate users) when the user is removed from the AD
    group(s)?
    Setup: Single box, SQL 2012 SP1, SharePoint/Project Server 2013 + PU March + CU April. 2 PWA instances, 1 in SharePoint and 1 in Project permission mode. Tried on 2 different machines (different setup, accounts, domains).
    Proceedings:
    Create AD user U, AD group G. Add U to G.
    Go to PWA, setup resource pool sync with G, sync.
    U is now in the resource pool, has no PWA permissions.
    Remove U from G. Resync resoure pool.
    U is still in resource pool, still a resource, still active, can still be assigned as resource.
    Adding U back to G an repeating the whole spiel with a resource pool and a PWA group sync of G will result in U being added and removed from the user list (as expected), and U being added but not removed from the resource pool.
    Having read
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg982985.aspx and
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg750243.aspx, there does not seem to be an omission on my part.
    The first article states:
    Note:
    The corresponding Project Server User Account is not deactivated based on this synchronization. If the same Active Directory user is configured to synchronize with a Project Server security group, the Project Server user account will be inactivated when
    that synchronization occurs. For more information, see
    Best practices to configure Active Directory groups for Enterprise Resource Pool synchronization in Project Server 2013.
    Unfortunately, this deactivation either does not seem to occur even with a PWA group sync or I misunderstood the article.
    So, did anyone manage to setup their resource pool sync in a way, that new resource will be added, but also be removed from the resource pool?
    Kind regards,
    Adrian

    Hi Adrian,
    you tried to sync the same AD group that you used for the resource pool sync also with a Project Server permission group?
    And on removal of the user of the AD group the project user/resource is not deactivated? Only removed from the group
    Regards
    Christoph
    Hi  Christoph,
    even though I might have tried that before, I tried it again in several constellations. It didn't change anything. The the user will be properly added to and removed from the PWA group whenever I remove them from the AD group, the use will also stay active
    (but cannot logon without permissions). However, the user will always remain in the resource pool, i.e. the "User can be assigned as resource." checkbox will remain unless it is cleared manually.
    Having re-read the technet articles, none of the scenarios actually seem to descibe or address the process that I require, or maybe I'm just misunderstanding. Let me just try to outline the core issue:
    Add user to AD group. Sync AD group with resource pool. User is now a PWA resource and PWA user.
    Remove user from AD group, but do not deactivate/delete user from AD.
    (Magic happens!)
    User cannot be assigned as ressource in PWA.
    So, is there anything to make this step 3 happen, or is it just not possible to sync users out of the resource pool anymore unless they are deleted/deactivated in AD?
    Kind regards,
    Adrian

  • Yahoo calander won't sync with calendar app in Mountain Lion???

    My yahoo calander will not sync to calanders app on my iMac using Mountain Lion. I have 4 email accounts total actually. I have two yahoo, one gmail, and one iCloud account. All of which sync fine on there own when I was running Lion. It's only since I updated to Mountain Lion that only my iCloud account is showing in my calander. However all 4 accounts show in mail??? Anyone else having this problem? and if so can someone please help???

    Same issue. Yahoo has provided no help when i e-mailed them. There is a workaround which works manually. If you go into Calendar Preferences and click on account, you will see Yahoo. Deselect the Enable button. Yahoo will disappear. Recheck the box and Yahoo will be back and updated. There will still be a message next to it saying: The request (CalDAVRefreshDelegateListQueueableOperation) for account “Yahoo!” failed.
    You might have to delete the account first in System Preferences and re-add it before the above works. However, it will work, but you are correct in that Yahoo will not Synch under Mt Lion. Hopefully someone can find a solution so there is an automatic refresh.

  • My yahoo mail is not syncing to any of my apple devices

    My yahoo mail is not syncing to any of my apple devices. They have all be in use for some time and just stopped overnight. Any suggestions as to how to resolve?

    It could be something that yahoo has done in their perpetual 'improvements'. Beyond removing and readding your info there's not much you can do but wait it out. If Yahoo has broken it, yahoo has to fix it.
    In the past I've accessed my yahoo via mobile safari and I believe they also have their own mail app, you may want to explore those as a work around until it resolves.

  • How can I sync my iMac iCal to android phone?

    I have no problems syncing my iMac  to my iPhone but my husband has an android (Samsung Fascinate) and I'd like to sync the calendar (iCal) to his phone. I am not sure if I can do this with Apple...if I can, point me in the right direction and I'll give it a go.
    Thanks so much, Linda

    Hi Linda,
    You might want to contact whomever supports that phone to see if they offer software for syncing with the Mac.  Palm used to for their products and Blackberry does for theirs.  Samsung might be the same.
    You need a program to do the sync for you.  If Samsung does not provide one then you can purchase one: http://www.markspace.com/products/android/missing-sync-android.html?source=picke r_android
    There are other methods like putting your calendars on a server like MobileMe or Gmail or Yahoo but these are a bit more complicated.
    Hope that helps!

    If you keep you documents in the same folder on both units it is possible. I usually just pick up the folder and drag to the one that has the older files. This way the folders remain updated.
    You can also use Mobile Me, something I do not have to much knowledge on.

  • HT4236 i want to remove photos that i have already sync.

    I want to remove photos that i have already sync to my Ipad.  I have turnned off sync, and they are still there.  How do i delete from Ipad?

    YOu need to decelect them via iTunes (such as remove them fromt he folder you put them in), then sync to take them off. iTunes put them on, so iTunes needs to take them off.

  • Events made on iPad calendar(through yahoo account) don't sync with yahoo calendar

    Events made on iPad calendar (through my yahoo account) don't sync with yahoo calendar on the Web. I'm on latest iOS both on iPad and iPhone4. Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Raymondo1,
    Glad this helpped! 
    I am a PC user so cannot help with your Mac interfaces.  I can sync (crudely) my Windows 7 Address book with iTunes.  But, I cannot sync my Windows Mail or Calendar with iTunes (unless I have Microsoft Exchange).
    Microsoft Exchange is not available to me.  This is why I use the iPod to sync with to Yahoo for email and Calendar.
    The best I can tell, iTunes does NOT support an interface with Yahoo.
    Have a nice day.

  • Unable to sync iPad to iMac. Get message 'iPad can't be synced because not enough free space to hold items in iTunes Library'. Only major content is iTunes U stuff. Deleted this on iPad and unticked iTunes U from syncing on iMac but message remains

    Unable to sync iPad to iMac. Get message 'iPad can't be synced because not enough free space to hold items in iTunes Library'. Only major content is iTunes U stuff (lots of videos). Don't download any music or other videos to iPad.
    Deleted iTunesU content on iPad and unticked iTunes U from syncing on iMac but message remains.
    Very frustrating.

    No longer a problem. After leaving a while and trying again the iPad and iMac successfully synced.

  • Problems syncing iPod Touch (2nd generation) with iMac under Mountain Lion

    When syncing my iPod Touch (2nd generation) with my iMac (under Mountain Lion) the entries in my diaries/agendas do not sync. Apps and music sync without a problem. What must I do?

    I have this problem.. and after spending time at the Genius Bar yesterday, I discovered that my old ipod touch is obsolete..( the Ipod touch is a 32.bit system, while the newer operating system is 64... so they're simply not compatible.)
    I expressed great dismay that my perfectly good ipod touch was now obsolete...  then the genius suggested I export my contacts and calendars to Google..
    That was easy to do, and then, on the Google community forum i learned about nuevasync.com, which lets you synch all of this back to your ipod touch via Exchange.
    WOrked like a charm.
    Nuevasync. com is free for an initial trial (10 days?) and then costs only 15$ per YEAR.. so I'll use this as a good work-around

  • Since reinstalling Windows 7, I cannot sync my iMac and Win 7 bookmarks.

    Hi, since having to recently reinstalling Windows 7 on my iMac using Parallels 10, I can no longer sync my iMac Firefox bookmarks with my Win 7 bookmarks. My iMac bookmarks remain unaffected, but my Win 7 bookmarks will not sync and show the same old bookmarks as my iMac Firefox shows. I have deleted and re-registered my Sync account and still no different. I have tried adding my Win 7 OS as a new device, but Sync does not show the page for this. It just shows the Manage page and does not give me that option.
    Can you please help on how I can once again sync the two bookmarks?

    Hi guigs2
    Thanks for your suggestion but that hasn't resolved my problem. I have closed down my account, created a new one and still my iMac Firefox bookmarks will not sync with my Windows 7 Firefox bookmarks (I am using Parallels 10 virtual machine). I have noticed that my mobile firefox has sync'd though, so I just need my Windows firefox bookmarks to sync. Have you any further advice please?
