Sync bb w/ yahoo contacts

I have 8310 running desktop manager 4.2.2 and I have ATT.  i use yahoo for my e-mail and contacts.  I like to make most of my changes in yahoo and then sync to the bb.  However when I do this I get conficts and double messages.  I am a neophyte to this process.  Any advise would be great.  I think I might be configured incorrectly???

Hi Roger and Jiceman, I have noticed the same thing.
Roger, can you clarify this for me?
I have noticed that since upgrading to Lion, ios 5, and switching over from Mobile Me to iCloud, I now have duplicates in my Address Book contacts.  I am assuming it is due to the switch to iCloud.  Previously, I had my Address Book set to sync with Yahoo and Google as well as Mobile Me.  This seemed to keep all 3 accounts in sync.  Now, I have 2 accounts: On My Mac and iCloud.  In Preferences, I have On My Mac set to sync with Google and Yahoo.  Is there any way to keep On My Mac and iCloud in sync?   Is my perception that the change occured when I switched to iCloud accurate?  Am I accurate in observing that all my contacts were, in fact, 3-way syncing prior to iCloud and that now they are not?  Is there any way to get them all syncing again?  And can you or anyone provide insight as to why this very un-helpful change would have been implemented by Apple?  Thank you!

  • Sync Yahoo contacts via iTunes or Address Book?

    I currently sync my iPhone contacts with my Mac Address Book, via iTunes. I want to start syncing with my Yahoo contacts also.
    There are (at least) two ways to do this:
    I can configure iTunes to sync with both Address Book and Yahoo contacts when I sync the iPhone.
    I can configure Address Book to automatically sync with Yahoo contacts, in which case I would just continue syncing the iPhone with Address Book as I do now.
    What are the differences between these two approaches? For example, will the Yahoo contacts be kept out of my Address Book with the first option but not the second?

    I decided to try syncing via Address Book, and it worked great.
    FYI, what I was trying to accomplish is having a single contact store in Address Book, Yahoo, on the iPhone, and on my new Samsung Galaxy Tab. The Tab doesn't support syncing contacts with Yahoo, only Google, so I actually had to sync everything through Google.
    Here's what I did:
    1. Synced the Address Book with Yahoo contacts to merge those.
    2. Manually cleaned up the merged contacts in Address Book, then synced again.
    3. Synced the Address Book with Google contacts (in addition to Yahoo contacts). Since I don't use gmail, I didn't have any existing Google contacts.
    4. Verified that the contacts were now in Google.
    5. Synced contacts for the Google account on my Galaxy Tab.
    I now have all my contacts everywhere I need them. I think using the Address Book rather than iTunes to sync with Yahoo and Google was the better choice, since I can do it from the Mac without sycning my iPhone.

  • Sync iphone to yahoo

    Getting ready to fire up a new iPhone 4S and am trying to ensure that it will sync seamlessly with Yahoo (contacts, calendars, email, etc.) 
    Especially need to ensure that If I receive and view email from my Yahoo account on my phone, that if I delete the messages from my phone, they will also be deleted on the Yahoo server.
    Trying to determine if I need to abandon Yahoo in favor of Gmail or an Apple email account, or if Yahoo plays well enough with Apple that I can keep the Yahoo account I've had for years and still get efficient email handling and syncing of contacts.
    Thank you!

    hey i just got an iphone for my girl yesterday. we managed to sync everything from yahoo just fine. but we also had to edit almost all contacts(@ 220 of them). we have not synced the phone with the computer yet.
    my question to you is this, when you synced the second time around, did your contacts get erased or edited back to what yahoo had? i'm just cuirious and i'm also curious to know the answer to your question as well.
    thank you.

  • Can I sync 2 iPhones to one itunes account but have seperate yahoo contacts

    We have 2 iPhones and want to be able to share the same itunes account which doesn't seem to be a problem. However we can't seem to have separate yahoo contacts synced with the two separate phones. It wants to keep putting my wife's contacts on my phone or vice a versa. Now our Yahoo contacts are all mucked up. Any help would be appreciated. I can't believe we can't do this.

    You can sync many devices to one itunes account. I, for instance, have two ipods and an iphone on one account. They all have different setting and contents, but still only sync to one itunes account.
    Yes you and your wife can use one itunes account.

  • Problems syncing yahoo contacts to ipod touch Model MB5286 Version 4.2.1

    For the last 2 years I have had no trouble updating my yahoo contacts to my ipod touch.  I just plugged in my ipod and away it went.  More recently, the iTunes format appears to have changed and I no longer see the same iPod information menus as before.  Last month I tried syncing my ipod to my computer to update contacts and now my contacts list is empty on my iPod, even though the status line during synchronization shows that "syncing contacts" is being done.  I've updated my iPod passwords under "settings" to match my Rogers Yahoo email account as I thought that may have been the problem.
    What is odd is that I now have a new, more updated iPod touch and it syncs just fine.  Any ideas as to how I can get the contacts back on my older model MB5286 (it's only 2.5 years old).

    Try here:
    iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
    However, it is frequently a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • HT1296 When I sync my iphone with Windows 7, the contact moves to my computer, but the contact is not complete. No phone numbers. What am I doing wrong? I have also tried sync-ing with Yahoo, and that doesn't work either.

    The music sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The only exception is itunes purchases.  File>Transfer Purchases
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.  Use your backup copy to move everything to your new computer.

  • Syncing with yahoo contacts

    In recent weeks i have been losing my contacts which are synced with yahoo. Is anyone elese having the same problem? How to fix it?

    I have the same problem. Contacts in Yahoo disappear and then reapper back again several times per day. I have the impression that it depends if there is a connection to internet to synch with yahoo.
    As I have some of my favorites number on the yahoo contact list, I found that I go to favorites and there are just the numbers and no name. After few minutes I go to the favorites list again and the name appear again.
    It is very annoying problem.
    Especially as when the contacts are lost and I get a phone call, it appears only the number and not the name of the caller.
    Is there any one with a solution to this defect?
    Thanks

  • New Yahoo contact NOT syncing

    Hi
    I am ready to pull my hair out! I have spent the last hour trying to figure out why a new contact in my Yahoo Contacts is NOT showing up in Contacts in my ITouch (16 GB). If I add, e.g. a phone number to an already existing contact, then sync, it shows up in my Itouch Contacts. But I cannot get this new contact in, even though I have added phone numbers and addresses. I enter the info in Yahoo, then I connect my itouch via itunes, go to Info tab where "Sync contacts with Yahoo Address book" is checked, no I haven't changed my password, click the SYNC button below, it syncs, but the new contact is not in my itouch. I then went to the bottom of the info tab and clicked ADVANCED Contacts, then apply, and that didn't work either. Any ideas....please!
    Ruth

    I'm not sure if this will help or not, but i was running into a similar problem and it was because I had a few birthdays listed for some of my contacts and did not include a year with the birth date. These contacts would not sync to my iphone. Once I removed these birthdays, they synced fine after that. Other contacts that had birthdates but included the year always synced fine.

  • Problems when I sync yahoo contacts w/ 2 iphones sharing the same computer

    My son and I both have iPhones and we have 1 PC. We both have separate yahoo accounts. When I try to sync his phone, it picks up all of my yahoo contacts which is a problem since this is my work phone. Before syncing his phone, I configure his contacts to his yahoo account but it still happens every time. So then I have to delete all of my contacts off of his phone and from his yahoo account. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong? I am sure there is an easy answer to this dilema.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    The solution is simple: both of you should establish separate user accounts on your computers, and synchronize your iPhones to your individual accounts.

  • 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).

  • Sync yahoo contact and got address all mixed up

    I just sync my yahoo contact to my iPhone and saw that I have lots of friends named AAA. Also, some addresses and phone numbers are all mixed up. It feels like someone just grabbed the addresses and swapped them. Can anyone tell me what's going on? What can I do to avoid this happening again? Much thanks.

    When the iphone is connected to the computer and itunes is open, click on edit at the top of itunes and choose preferences.
    When the preferences window opens, click on the iphone or syncing tab.
    Near the bottom there is a button to reset sync history.
    Click ok on the preferences window.
    Now go to the info tab in the iphone settings and scroll to the bottom.
    There is a check box in the advanced section to replace all contact data on the iphone.
    Check this box and click apply.
    This will replace any contact data on the iphone with a new copy.
    Hope this helps.

  • Help with syncing yahoo contacts

    currently sync my contacts with outlook but am soon to change it to sync with yahoo!
    When I sync them for the 1st time will all the info on the iphone be transferred to yahoo or the other away around??
    I know this sounds daft but my contact list on yahoo isn't upto date and don't particularly want to loose my up to date data.
    All advice greatfully received!

    yes it is, but once you have it set up it will sync with your Address Book at the click of a button! I have only discovered this in the past couple of weeks and for the first time ever I can sync my contacts at home with Yahoo and also sync all my contacts on my windows work pc with Yahoo. In effect Yahoo Contacts is now the database for all of my contacts and will sync effortlessly with my PC, my Mac, and consequently my iPhone!!
    See the Help section on the Yahoo Mail webpage for more info.

  • 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'
