Sync iPhone Contacts to Yahoo

Hi,
I just got a Verizon iPhone and used Verizon's app to transfer my contacts from the old Verizon phone to the iPhone. Then I set my Yahoo contacts to sync with the iPhone over the air. If I add a new contact on the iPhone, it will sync to Yahoo but I can't get all the contacts originally created on my old Verizon phone to sync to Yahoo. Anyone know how to do this?
Thanks!

Please send me a PM with your wireless and a separate contact number so I can call you directly for resolution.
Thanks,

How do I sync iPhone contacts to Yahoo and NOT Yahoo to iPhone?

Twice I have had to get a new iPhone for hardware issues. Each time I get a new phone I lose all of my contacts. What am I doing wrong when I sync/backup?

If you have a good set of contacts anywhere get them backed up. Then I would suggest getting contacts synced to computer. Go to yahoo to look at contacts there then follow this link to sync to computer. From there you can easily sync contacts to your phone from computer.
There seems to be a problem with yahoo contacts syncing with newer iOS. So avoid missing contacts in the future by having copies on your computer and syncing with iCloud possibly.
Here's a link for getting contacts from Yahoo to computer. If your contacts are on your phone sync and back up to iCloud first.

Can't sync iPhone contacts with Yahoo on iTunes

I always get a connection error while syncing my iPhone with the Yahoo Address book because an Internet connection is not available. But it is available since all other Internet apps work
See http://img87.imageshack.us/my.php?image=iphonebugzp9.png for a screenshot of the exact error.
Thanks

I get the same error, if it makes you feel better. I have seen a few posts on this subject with no help.

Hey joshuafromisr,
If you resintall iTunes, it should fix the issue. The following document will go over how to remove iTunes fully and then reinstall. Depending on what version of Windows you're running you'll either follow the directions here:
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP

or here:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

HT1296 i cannot sync iphone contacts to my macbook

How do I sync iphone contacts to my macbook? i have tried the obvious: connecting the phone, going into iTunes and selecting Info and Contacts and sync and apply, but nothing happens on my Mac. Thank you for any feedback.

Make sure you enter at least one unique contact (one that is not on your phone - make up an imaginary friend if necessary) in the Address Book on your Macbook before you sync, and choose the "merge" option when you sync. The contacts on your phone will sync to address book on your Macbook, and your imaginary friend will sync to your phone. You can delete him if you want.

I manage all of my email in Outlook, delete email and trash it however the update isn't reflected in the Cloud and\or Apple email. I have to then open up Apple mail and delete again.
Then something is setup incorrectly, which version of OSX are you on, and is this an iCloud mail address (@mac, @me or @icloud)
From your description of the issue I suspect that it is Outlook that is incorrectly setup.

Cannot sync iphone contacts

When switching contact sync to Yahoo or Google from iCloud, did not see any sync done.
When switching contact to a new Outlook account with no contact for testing, can see 88 email addresses sync into Outlook, all without any phone numbers. What went wrong??? How do I get the contacts in iphone out into Outlook, Yahoo or Google so that I can sync those contacts into other phones???

Switching the default account is only helpful for new contact, and does nothing to sync existing contact located in the iCloud group.
Anyway, I have found a solution by using iDrive: http://www.idrive.com/online-backup-download.htm
Thanks for responsing.

How to sync iPhone contacts to iPad contacts, having skipped iphone set up

After buying iphone5c I skipped part of set up. Now I want to make iphone sync to contacts on iPad.
I have backed up iPad to iCloud, and the iPhone too, but can't seem to make them sync, nor find a way back to the initial setup menu to choose the option to connect to iCloud. I think all other relevant options are turned on.

You can sync contacts using iTunes so that each device you use (iPhone, iPad, or iPod) has the same information.
If your contacts are hosted online (for example, using iCloud or Yahoo!), just set up your contact accounts on each device and computer you use. Then, your contacts are kept up to date everywhere.
Connect your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to your Mac. If iTunes doesn’t open, open iTunes.
Select your device, click the Info (or Contacts) tab, and then select the “Sync contacts” checkbox.
Select whether to sync all contacts or only the groups you select.
Select any other options you want, and then click Apply. Your contacts are updated each time you connect your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to your Mac.

Possible to sync iphone calendar to yahoo calendar?

I am wanting to sync between yahoo and iphone calendar. I don't have 3g phone, still stuck with old one (purchased November 2007). I have synced all contacts but would like to work between both calendars. any suggestions?

I agree. I mean, if it syncs to Yahoo contacts, it should sync to Yahoo Calendar. I don't even use Yahoo, but I tried their Outlook syncing tool, and it seemed like a good way to keep my home Outlook (which is iPhone incompatible 2000), work Outlook, and iPhone all in sync. I was just going to sync everything via Yahoo. Then I realized iPhone only syncs with contacts, but not calendar. Bummer. In addition, iTunes/iPhone doesn't seem to recognize the Yahoo contact groups.

How to sync iPhone contacts back to Address Book.

I came across this problem and found a work-around on the forums, but some guys there–including myself–felt that iTunes should sync our contacts bi-directionally from iPhone to Address Book on our Macs, and vice versa.
As it turns out, that's really the default behavior in iTunes when syncing between iPhone/Address Book on the Mac. However, if you've been using iCloud to sync everything lateley, this will not be the default behavior, because your iTunes won't sync anything back to your Address Book on the Mac unless you completly disconnect from iCloud services.
So..... if you want to sync your contacts from your iPhone back to your Address Book on your Mac, I'm providing this simple, yet tedious, solution:
Step 1: Open Address Book on your Mac, select all of your contacts, and press delete. You'll be asked if you really want to delete the contacts. Hit ok and continue.
Step 2: Navigate to: Macintosh HD/Users/(YourUserName)/Library/Application Support/Address Book.
Note* On OS X Lion, your Library folder will not be shown. You'll have to navigate there a different way. The way I did it was:
Click the "Go" option up in the Finder menu bar.
Toward the bottom of the pull-down menu, click on the "Go to Folder..." option.
Type "~(YourUserName)/Library/Application Support/Address Book.
Once there, I searched through all the folders included and deleted anything that ended in ".plist" or ".log". This way, Address Book is completely reset when next open it.
Step 3: Open Address Book, add at least one contact if none are automatically created for you, and make sure iCloud is Disabled (if an account is there) in your Address Book Preferences pane, which you find by clicking "Address Book" in the top menu bar. Then, quit Address Book.
Step 4: On your iPhone, open your Settings app, go to the iCloud option, and turn all services off. After turning each one off, it will ask you if you want to keep the data on you phone. Always select "Yes", otherwise you may lose your data.
Step 5: Connect your iPhone to your computer, open iTunes, select your iPhone in the left column, select the "Info" tab, and check the box to "Sync Contacts"–further down on the page, in the Advanced section, make sure the Contacts checkbox is unchecked. If it's checked when you sync, iTunes will overwrite the contacts on your phone with the contacts from Address Book on your Mac.
Step 6: Sync your iPhone–This will sync the contacts from your phone to the Address Book app on your Mac.
Step 7: Open up Address Book, and add an iCloud account, or re-enable the one you disabled in step 3–This will sync all of those contacts to your iCloud account again. Then, you can also go back to the iCloud settings on your phone and turn all the services back on.
After all this, you should have been able to first sync your contacts from you iPhone back to your Address Book app on your Mac, then have them both synced up through iCloud with the same contacts being pushed everywhere.
Hope this helps!

Hi, thanks for all this, unfortunately it's still not helping me. Last week I turned on iCloud for contacts and not only did the iCloud sync fail, but now with iCloud off I haven't been able to sync iphone-to-mac thru iTunes.
I've checked that iCloud contact sync'ing is off, on both my Mac and iPhone. I've even turned off all other iCloud services on both devices. I followed your instructions precisely and even deleted more than you suggested from the App Support | Address Book folder. Step 6 just doesn't work. iTunes whips thru the Address Book sync progress when it should pause a bit to do the transfer—my Address Book archive is 44 Mb.
I have no desire to waste more time with iCloud, just want it to work the old fashioned way. I'd gladly do a clean system re-install but not sure even that would do it…hard to tell where the problem lies.
Appreciate any light you could shed!

TS1627 Cannot sync iphone contacts to address book.

My iphone 4 contacts are not syncing with my address book. I have followed the instructios about checking the sync box on the info pane. I am not syncing my contacts to icloud. Last time i did that, it wiped out all my contacts. Any suggestions?

Is your Address Book on your Mac empty? Try the following, add a new test contact on your iPhone. Next try to sync again. If nothing happens, make sure you have set up the Default Contact Sync account on your iPhone to point to Address Book.
To do so, go to Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars and under "Contacts" look at what you have set up as "Default"

Sync iPhone Contacts to Address Book on iMac

Is it possible to sync or to export iPhone (G3) "Contacts" to "Address Book" on an iMac?
...or will the sync process in iTunes move information form the iMac to the iPhone?

Overview of syncing iPhone, iPad or iPod touch with your computer: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1386
Contacts, calendars, notes, and bookmarks are synced from (or to) your computer, so if you add, change, or delete them on the device, they are changed on your computer, and vice versa.
Before you sync, be sure your Mac's Address Book has at least one contact so you will get a merge prompt.

Can i sync Iphone contacts to my macbook?

I have an iphone and I dont use my phonebook on my macbook much but it be great if I can sync my contacts from my phone to my computer. Is that possible???

Make sure you enter at least one unique contact (one that is not on your phone - make up an imaginary friend if necessary) in the Address Book on your Macbook before you sync, and choose the "merge" option when you sync. The contacts on your phone will sync to address book on your Macbook, and your imaginary friend will sync to your phone. You can delete him if you want.

Sync iphone contact with icloud

I've entered new contact information on my iPhone, but those phone numbers are not appearing for that contact in the iCloud subfolder in Outlook. What is the best way to sync contact information in Outlook so information on my iPhone is updated in my iCloud (in Outlook).

The first thing to check is to go to icloud.com on your computer, then enter a new contact on your phone and see if it appears in your contacts on icloud.com. Then do the same thing in Outlook.
When you do this, which is not syncing new contacts to icloud.com?

Sync iphone contacts with ipad

I just purchased a new iPad Mini and cant seem to sync up my iPhone contacts to appear on my iPad.. any help here would be appreciated.
thanks,

You first need to make sure you sync all of your iPhone contacts to the iCloud (not back up to the iCloud but sync). To do, on your iPhone, go to Settings > iCloud > and turn the Contacts switch to ON. Next, tap on "Merge".
Do the same action on your iPad too. Make sure you use the same iCloud account credentials on both devices.
Both your iPhone and iPad contacts should now be synced
