Retirive Hotmail / Yahoo Address book

Dear Friends,
Hope you have checked out hi5.com, birthdayalarm.com, ringo.com. In these sites they have kept a new process of inviting people by letting uset to type their username and password, and within 1 sec it retrives list of email address which was saved in their address book or messenger list. And they send mail to all as mailing list.
All the thing i wanna know is how this is possible, can we also do this same thing ?
I tried so much on net to know about it but unable to get it.
Somewhere its said that it uses curl, but if the page design gets change code need to be re-write again.
Some places its says that its agreement between both the site and they are paying for it.
Many place many different reasons.
If this thing can be done from us then please let me know the steps for it ? It will help me to complete my college assignment.
Waiting.......
Navneet :-)

Problem synching iPhone with Yahoo address book contacts

Basically what is happening is when I sync most of the yahoo contacts transfer to the iPhone just fine but then I get a message telling me that all of the contacts could not be copied, try again later. I look and it stops after the letter "T". Ive tried several times even after a reboot. I also noticed that when I created a new contact on the iPhone it doesnt get synched over to my yahoo contacts. Any help is appreciated.
thanks
Angelo

What advanced settings are you referring to on the iPhone? The only advanced I have is under my yahoo email account. Update since I last posted, I tried deleting the few entries after the letter "T" that were not synching to the iPhone and recreated them and they now are synching fine but the sync is only working one way, if I create a new contact on the iPhone it shows up in my yahoo address book but if I create a new entry in my yahoo address book and do a sync, it does not sync over to the iPhone.

Hi gbslade,
Considering your issue only seems to be with contacts, I would suspect there may be a corrupt/invalid contact entry in your Yahoo account. My suggestion is to first setup a one-way synchronization from the BlackBerry to Yahoo, then do the opposite. This should indicate where the issue is originating.
As well, check your Yahoo address book for any blank or incomplete contacts. Contacts that are missing a first name, last name and company name cannot be synchronized to the BlackBerry and could potentially cause hang-ups or a failed synchronization. A contact must have at least one of those three fields filled out.
Thanks!

Crash in YahooSync when trying syncing with Yahoo Address Book

My iPhone (fw 1.1.1) works fine. I tried to syn with my contacts on the Yahoo address book. When I click on "syn contacts with Yahoo! Address Book" in iTunes (latest vesion 7.4.3.1) it pops up the login dialog.
Then it crashes (login on the website works fine).
iTunes says: "unknown error (6)".
Any idea how to solve this?!

While researching I found the following doc on Apple called
"iPhone: Exception error when syncing with Yahoo! Address Book" at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305851
Currently I just have telephone numbers in my contacts, no e-mail addresses. So that can't be the problem. I also replaced special characters like ö, ä and so on.
When I retried now I got the same error

How to search contacts using Yahoo Address Book

I'm sure this is nothing new to many of you, but it was a great discovery for me today. I struggle with not having a contact search on my iPhone -- often remembering the company name but not the person's name. With my Treo, I could search the entire device including contacts, emails, etc. and find what I needed but we're not there yet with the iPhone.
One way I found around this is to sync your contacts in iTunes with Yahoo Address Book. I then went to address.yahoo.com on the iPhone, logged in and up comes my contacts with a search field at the top of the page. The search engine always found what I wanted and when I go back to the bookmarked site, I don't have to re-login. I also can click on a phone number in a contact on the web page and dial the number.
So effectively this is a one click for safari, one click for bookmarks and one click for Yahoo Address book and you have a contact search engine. This will be a good workaround for me until Apple hopefully does an update to include contact search.

Unfortunately I do not believe this will work for me.
But it is still a "Rube Goldberg" approach to a function that should be included with the contact list.
I sometimes remember the last name, sometimes the first name, and sometimes I remember the company, when I do not remember the name, and...
sometimes I remember what town the company is in if I can't remember anything else.

Desktop Manager fails to synch with Yahoo Address Book on my 8300

I have been synching both Yahoo Address Book and Yahoo Calendar successfully for months. Suddenly, Address Book no longer synchs. Yahoo calendar still works. The problem occurs aftew Desktop reads all the contacts. It halts while "Synchronization Progress...reading from Yahoo Address Book" displays. That message has displayed for up to an hour with no progress. I then disconnect and halt Desktop. I can still synch Yahoo Calendar. I have not updated desktop or device software. Anybody have any suggestions?

No Sync with Yahoo Address Book Workaround:
Work Around for Blackberry to Yahoo Sync when Address Book Sync Gets Stuck:
I've had the Address Book on my Yahoo Sync hang on two different occasions. The first time was late 2009 and the second was late Jan 2010. The first time the problem fixed itself. This time, no such luck yet. So if you are having the same problem, here's a work around that will allow you to update both your Yahoo and Blackberry Contacts and keep them in sync.
Step 1: From Yahoo, EXPORT your contacts to Windows Contacts (I did this in Vista and it also works for Windows 7 -- it should also work for XP, but the export may be a different expension). You will want to export using the 'vCard, Zip of .VCF files'. his will create a zip file of all your contacts with in the vcard format: (.VCF)
Step 2: Some manual labor in this step, but you will only have to do it once OR you can try a .vcf to .contact file converter program like:
http://www.vcardconverter.com/ that will cost you 19.95. Open each contact in the zip file. It will show you the contact data and there will be a button that you can click to ADD TO MY CONTACTS. Do this for each contact in the exported zip file. Or but the program.
You now have your Yahoo Address Book converted over to Window Contacts.
Step 3: In the Blackberry Desktop Manager change your synchronization setting for your address book from Yahoo to 'Window Address Book/Mail'. Leave the Calendar, MenoPad, and Task to sync with Yahoo. So you should have:
Calendar sync to Yahoo
MemoPad sync to Yahoo
Address Book sync to Windows Address Book/Mail
Task sync to Yahoo
Step 4: You now can perform a sync to you Blackberry Device. (But read the notes below first)
SOME IMPORTANT NOTES:
This allows you to get your contacts into your Blackberry and to sync them with your Windows Contacts. You can make this a three way sync where you also keep your Windows Contacts and Yahoo Address Book in sync. It just adds an extra sync. NOTE: If you are going to do this then pay the 20 bucks and buy the program above or find a program to convert .contact files to vcf (vcard) files. I've decided to buy the program above because it allows me to import and export all the contacts at one time, which is what you will need to use the import / export tools in Yahoo Contacts
I did the sync of the address book in steps. I was lucky / unlucky because I tried to do a Blackberry software upgrade that failed and it wiped out all of my contacts, calendar, tasks, and memos; so when I did my first sync, I when only from the Blackberry Desktop Manager to my Blackberry. I then changed my sync to be a two way sync. I only mention this because I don't know if going from Windows Contact to Blackberry would create duplicate entries in your Blackberry and Windows Contact Manager. Maybe someone can check this out and post. Anyway, I would suggest trying the sync with only a few contacts to check it out.
You don't need to worry about the folder that the Blackberry Desktop Manager will store the contacts. It assumes the 'Contacts' folder on you machine. As far as I could tell, there was no way to change this destination anyway.
ALTERNATIVE APPROACH:
If I was to do this all over, and I had my contacts still on my blackberry, I would most likely do the following (in theory):
Step 1.
Change the sync for contacts to be with Windows Address Book, not Yahoo.
Step 2.
Sync the contacts so they would appear in the Windows Contacts.
Step 3. Then worry about syncing Windows Contacts with Yahoo (see above)
Good luck,

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

Sync Address Book with Yahoo Address book?

Hi there,
just wondering if its possible to some how sync Address Book with Yahoo Address book?
That is... I have an elaborate Address Book setup on Yahoo, I'd like it so that if I use Yahoo Address Book and create/delete contacts that when I get home and use Address Book, Address Book syncs the contacts structure to the yahoo structure, without me manually intervening...
Is this possible or is there a tool/widget that does this already?
Thanks

while looking for somehting else, i found something here in the discussions that might do the trick. it involves another web-based address book, but might work for you. try getting the plaxo address book plug-in, and then sync your yahoo contacts with plaxo, and then sync that with address book. i'm not sure of the order that would give you the best results, but i'm working on using plaxo as an online backup of my address book, as i will most-likely not be using plaxo otherwise.
my concern for you would be whether one would write over the other, so back up your address book first, or even export the entire thing as a vcard file to your desktop, and then you can re-import and merge them... that way you can sync with your yahoo account, and then add whatever is already in your address book and merge whatever is necessary.
search here in the discussions for the plaxo plug-in, and see if that sounds like it would work for you. the only issue i have right now is that it seems that the plaxo install has somehow affected my icalfix plug-in, but i'll look into fixing that this weekend, i'm sure i just need to move some plug-ins around.
cheers,

Any way to force a complete refresh of contacts from Yahoo Address Book?

Any way to force a complete refresh of contacts from Yahoo Address Book?
About once a month I delete all my Yahoo contacts and upload a new file. (That may sound crazy but I do it from a master file (a database) both to Yahoo and Lotus Notes and blackberry via Notes. Only takes a few moments. Works for me.)
When I do this with my iphone it's duplicating some contacts, not a whole lot, but some - maybe 3%. I have reset the sync history before doing this.
So, any way to wipe the slate clean on the iphone and force a one way refresh?

Please check you contact name in the device and verify if the names does not start with none alphabetic characters (e.g. @, &, *, etc). This characters will actually stop the sync process and will not be able to successfully complete the transfer of data. Do the same thing with the contact data you have online just to be sure..
If that it still doesn't work, delete your Google account on the device, restart, and then recreate the same account.
Let me know how it goes...

One Computer,two iphones and syncing to two yahoo address books - problem

Hi all,
Before upgrading to itunes 7.7.1.11 (at least I think the upgrade caused the problem) I could associate my wife's iphone to her yahoo contact list and my iphone to my yahoo contact list. So when her phone was connected it would sync to her yahoo account and when mine was connected it would sync to my yahoo account.
Now what happens is that the last yahoo account 'configured' is what gets synced, regardless of phone. For example, I just set up my yahoo contacts in itunes and sync - great, evertyhing works.
Now, when I connect my wife's phone it will sync with my contact list - unless I go into the info tab and click the 'configure' button and change the yahoo account to hers (it automatically shows my account now. It used to show hers).
If I do this, then her phone syncs to her contacts fine. However, now when I connect my phone, the yahoo address book is set to configure with my wife's account, until I change it to mine - you get the idea of the pattern here.
Changing it isn't a big deal, but forgetting just once, really buggers things up.
This never used to happen - anyone experiencing this? Any thoughts to remedy?
Thanks.

You're not alone. We want one phone to get Outlook contacts and the other to get Yahoo. Simple, right? Each phone gets its own playlists, so why not its own contacts? Because Apple doesn't work that way. "One sync provider per iTunes account" is how the popup box puts it. But only when it comes to contacts. Thank goodness they don't carry this nonsense over to music and video syncing.
Amazing that Apple didn't anticipate this problem. Mom and Dad and Junior want to be on the same account so the family's iTunes purchases are shared, but of course they don't want the same contacts on their phones.
I had posted the problem here:

For everyone who can't sync your iPhone with Yahoo Address Book

Hello all,
I was having trouble syncing my Yahoo address book with my iphone. I kept getting the "iTunes could not sync with Yahoo! Address Book because an Internet connection is not available." window.
This is what I did to solve the problem, at least for me.
Add your Yahoo account to iPhone under “mail”. Make sure you use your full e-mail address, [email protected]
Launch iTunes first, then connect the iPhone.
Enter in your full e-mail address ([email protected]) and password in iTunes.
Allow the following applications to access the Internet (I’m using a firewall):
iTunesHelper Module
iTunes
AppleMobileBackup.exe
AppleMobileSync
iTunes then synced with Yahoo every time.
This was done on Windows XP. I do not think this problem occurs on a Mac.

Hey playadelcarmen,
Make sure the Mac is updated, click the Apple> Software Updates.
Use the steps in this article to reinstall iTunes and the Apple Mobile Device Service.
