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.

  • How do you sync Yahoo contacts and iCal calendar to the Touch

    Help results say "If you have an iPod, iPod nano, or iPod mini, you can sync it with Address Book contacts and iCal information on your computer" but we have the Touch. It also says "When the iPod icon appears in iTunes, select it and then click the Contacts tab", but no Contacts tab appears when I select the iPod on the left in iTunes.

    The tab you're looking for is called "Info". You should see it just after "Photos".

  • Went to use my contacts and they are all gone!  Changed iCloud accounts on Saturday, performed a backup and then synced my music only on iTunes via a PC. How do I find out if my contacts were really stored on iCloud? If so, how do I get them back?

    Log into icloud.com and then click on the Contacts icon.  If the list is empty, then it's gone.

  • ITunes won't sync my contacts and calendars

    Hello all,
    I'm having some trouble syncing my contacts and calendars to my iPod, because iTunes say's it doesn't have any available, and then it asks me to open that application.
    This started after I forcibly shut down my computer.
    I've tried replacing the information by deleting all of my contacts and calendars, and restoring using the Backup application, and I still got the same message asking me if I wan't to open iCal/Address Book.
    Any solution will be appreciated.

    The most likely solution is to launch iSync
    application ,and then in the preferences menu, click
    on Reset Sync History button. This resets
    configurations for the iTunes iPod sync process that
    is dependent on the iSync system database system.
    Is this the only way to do this? I am sic and tired of reseting my sync data as .Mac seams to have plenty of it's own issues. I use several computers Two for work and an extra at the office and one extra at home that I would have to then on the next sync accept all of the diolog boxes to get the most recent sync data on each computer. What a pain in the ... Not something that I want to do again as I have done it about 4+ times in the last month.

  • ITunes & Outlook 2010 no sync. of contacts and calendar

    Hello together,
    I have "iTunes 11.1.5.5", "Outlook 2010" and can't sync. my contacts and the calendar.
    Under "Infos" there are no contacts (contackt groups) displayed ...
    I went through all support informations, but nothing helped me.
    I hope someone has a solution for thes problem.
    Thanks in advance

    By any chance are you running any Eset security software products (like Nod32) on that PC?
    If so, there's a couple of alternatives.
    Either try the procedure in Samoreen's post:
    Re: iTunes 11.1.4.62 freezes while syncing with Outlook
    Or, see if you can get hold of the Eset beta addressing the problem. As Samoreen notes in another post:
    ESET have a workaround for this issue. They gave me access to a test version of the HIPS module and this fixed the problem. So I could re-enable the ESET_OPTIONS environment variable (although I still consider that it's a questionable idea). I upgraded to iTunes 11.1.5.5 and there was no problem.
    So maybe you should get in touch with ESET support and request the new module ? Just send a message to Marcos in the ESET forum.

  • Apparently Sync Manager is turned off for syncing my contacts and calendar to using Blackberry Desktop Software - how can I switch it ON?

    I upgraded to Mac OS 10.9 a few months ago.
    Up till then I was happily able to sync mac Contacts and Calendar to my Blackberry Curve 9320 via Blackberry's Desktop Manager (for Mac).
    Since upgrading the software tells me to that Mac Sync Manager is turned off.  I know it isn't because everything else is syncing.
    When I hunt through your support I find that there are solutions for this problem for other Mac OS versions but not for Maverick, so please tell me how I can once again use my business phone happily as I did before upgrading!
    Many thanks

    BlackBerry Desktop Software utilizes Apple's SyncServices technology in order to synchronize Contact, Calendar, Notes, and Tasks information to and from the Mac computer.
    BlackBerry Desktop Software synchronizes information with the SyncServices database, which is synchronized with the desktop applications on the Mac computer (for example: Apple Address Book, iCal, Apple Mail, Microsoft Outlook for Mac). BlackBerry Desktop Software does not synchronize directly to or from the desktop applications on the Mac computer.
    Mac OS X Mavericks v10.9 and later does not use SyncServices, therefore, it is not possible to synchronize Contact or Calendar information using the BlackBerry Desktop Software on these versions of OS X.
    For more information on SyncServices and OS X Mavericks, see the following Apple Support article:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5847
    Note: BlackBerry Desktop software 2.4 is still supported for use with Mac OS X v10.6, 10.7, and 10.8.

  • Mac outlook 2011 not display "Contact and Recent addresses"

    I just installed Mac outlook 2011 in my new 2014 Macbook Pro OSX 10.9.4
    When I type email address to the bar it does not display "Contact and Recent addresses" to list all the typed email address. Only if I press "tab" button, it will finish the rest of the address. The point is I cannot choose the address
    from a list of same name persons.
    However, it works well in my old Mac Book pro. OSX 10.9.3
    Thanks.

  • Problem with ipod nano when i sync my contacts and calendr

    I have two problem with my ipod nano when i sync my contacts and calendars.
    For the calendars I use the thunderbird Mozilla calendar (that I export in .vcs) but the problem is that the appointment appear in my ipod with a different time: 18:00 on Mozilla become 16:00 in Ipod... Note that both (ipod and Mozilla Calendar) are configured with time zone in Paris.
    For the Contact I have all in Thunderbird contact. The problem is that his software can't export the contact in vcard format (only in csv). Do you know a free software to convert my contact from Thunderbird to vcard format ?
    Thanks in advance.

    On the phone, go to Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars select the account you want and scroll down to the settings for Contacts.  You can change display and sort order there.

    - Try resetting the iPod. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next, restore from backup.

  • TS1347 I had to get a new hard drive on my laptop PC.  Now I am unable to sync my contacts and calendar from my iphone to the outlook software on my PC.  Although they are backed up on icloud, I really want the information on my computer.

    I cannot figure out how to sync my contacts and calendar from my iphone with my windows PC.  The message during the itunes sync process is that information is being backed up to both the cloud and my PC.  However the Outlook software remains blank.  What can I do??
