Syncing w Yahoo mail, etc, duplicates contacts

I sync my iPhone on a couple of Macs with Mobile Me and with Yahoo contacts. I get many duplicates of some contacts.
1. How do i clean up the duplicates?
2. How do i keep the sync from creating duplicates?
tia

I should add that the syncs also include Mail and Address Book.

Ovi Sync versus Yahoo Mail Contacts

Hello,
now that the email migration to yahoo is completed and working, I don't know how to sync of the contacts between my Nokia mobile phone and the new Yhoo Mail contacts.
The Ovi contacts are still there and syncing works as it used to do. But the Yahoo contacts seem to have been migrated just once. So, when I add a contact in my phone, it gets synced to Ovi, but not to Yahoo Mail (and vice versa).
Can I either sync contacts to Yahoo Mail directly, or, have Yahoo Mail access the Ovi contacts? Or are there any plans to consolidate the two contact databases?
Thank you,
Thorsten (Hamburg, Germany)

I too have been wondering what to do since the import of contacts has been partial. Many contacts have not been included. I hope they do someting about it soon.

How can I sync my yahoo mail contact list with my ipad2?

How can I sync my yahoo contact list with my iPad 2?

Found the answer from another discussion here and it did work in about 2 minutes:
in settings, click mail, contacts , calendars
you need to add two accounts:
one for mail as a Yahoo account
another per the instructions below
Yahoo syncs contacts by adding a CardDAV account:
Tap Mail, Contacts, Calendars
Tap Add Account
Tap Other and then tap Add CardDAV Account
For the Server you need to enter carddav.address.yahoo.com
Now type in the Yahoo! ID (full email address) and password you use to sign in to your Yahoo! Contacts
why not all in one? who knows!
Ps. You might have to do several tries with and without the .xxx extesion to the account name
Yahoo has multiples with att and all othr isp's

Can't get Palm Desktop app to react after syncing with Yahoo mail calendar info

Attempted to move calendar from Yahoo mail page to Palm Desktop in my Macbook--
Yahoo page says "don't use Intellisync" --thre is a new program called Autosync--but it turns out it doesn't work for Macs --clearly, many instructions on Yahoo paged do not apply to Macs--
find this is a common problem on many sites--assumption that all are PC folks.
Imagine how things will go if Microsoft actually buys Yahoo!
Anyway--Created Calendar as a CV file and imported to Palm Desktop--
now cannot get program to run correctly--it appears all of the calendar info was imported to calendar day on which I imported it--so there is a huge amount of info being processed whenever I attempt to interact with the app.--the dreaded beachball appears and spins endlessly--
Have re-installed Palm app. (4.2.1) but problem seems to be imbedded, and re-occurs.
Is there any solution except to dump the entire app. from my hard drive, lose my archive et. al.
and re-synch from my Tungsten E2???
Post relates to: Tungsten E2

Did away with it in 10.8. Sync via application Notes now.

New version of yahoo mail - completely blank contact page (no tabs,columns, or contacts) but on internet explorer works fine

I just got the newest version of Yahoo Mail and on Internet Explorer everything works fine. On Firefox, the contact page is completely blank ( no tabs, columns, or contact information)

Yahoo have acknowledged my emails and have now resolved this problem. It was obviously at their end and only started with their new mail client.

Dropbox attachment sync with yahoo mail works in Chrome but not firefox.

In the beginning on April 2013, Yahoo mail added the feature of attaching a files straight from dropbox. This feature works fine when I select it in Google Chrome. When I select the option in Firefox it opens up the little window and has the loading wheel. It just stays at that stage forever. Where as in Chrome the dropbox window opens in 2 seconds. Is there as setting I need to change or and add on that I need to get? What's the problem?

hello, does it wkor when you launch firefox in safe mode for testing purposes once?

Pre email push not syncing with Yahoo Mail or google cal after HP shut down

HI. I have a Palm Pre, and while I knew services going through Palm would be dead after the shut down, I assumed anything that was a direct email push through my cell phone carrier or WIFI would be fine.
I have however suddenly lost email sync with my Yahoo account, google calendar sync (thought the gmail sync works) and Outlook calendar sync through Chapura sync manager.
Is this a coincidence? Is there something I can do to fix this? It makes no sense that services that have nothing to do with Palm should cease to work!
Thanks!

I have set up the account using the iPhone's preset service - which I think means it's an exchange account.
This means the account was created as an IMAP account with Push access for received messages.
Surely I'm not supposed to close Mail down in order to receive push notifications? And if so, what does that means for Facebook, eBay etc?
No you are not. With an account that supports Push access for received messages with Push access enabled for the account with the account settings on the iPhone, when a new message is received at the incoming mail server the incoming mail server "pushes" the message out automatically without having to check the account for new messages - automatically or manually, which is called fetch.
Removing the Mail app from the fast app switching or recently used apps bar does not quit the app. It removes the app from the fast app switching or recently used apps bar only. The iPhone has supported multitasking since day one with included apps. Removing the Mail app, the Messages app, and the Phone app from the fast app switching/recently used app bar does not quit these apps. These apps are always running in the background so to speak in a suspended or frozen state.
Yahoo has had on and off again problems with this since day one 3&1/2 years ago.

I can no longer sync my yahoo mail account

Since yesterday my Yahoo account stop syncing. I deleted and added and now it times out

I've had the same problem with yahoo and got this error message
the user name or password for apple.imap.mail.yahoo.com is incorrect
I've entered correct info when creating the account. I've deleted the account on my iPad and iphone. Reentered the proper info but the account will not activate. As well, the password associated with those accounts is CHANGED IN THE ACCOUNT SETTINGS from what I entered previous. It is much shorter.
My husbands account, with Yahoo as well, is fine. any ideas on how to help?

BB bold calendar sync with Yahoo mail July 2011- problem remains unresolved for months

Having a problem ,as are many other bb users with sync calendar entries. Syncs contacts/ media but loses connection when sync dates.
I have just started working from home.. this is a huge problem to me and as far as I can see from other forums is a Yahoo software problem which remains unresolved both by bb and yahoo for a number of months.
Problem is bb are going to start losing customers inc myself. If solution is not imminent I am going to switch to iphone when my contract comes up at the end of the summer.
( I would prefer to stay with bb but if they are unable to provide customer support to resolve these issue it leaves me no choice)
P.S I have tried every fix advised with no positive result

Hey usannie,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
If you switched to Yahoo! Beta the synchronization is not currently supported.

Selective sync process with Yahoo mail contacts in importing them to Windows 8x phone?

"Syncing" (importing) Yahoo mail messages and contacts appears simple. Setting > email etc, select Yahoo and it creates a Yahoo tile and imports individual contacts into People Hub. Except that out some 120 contacts I have in my online Yahoo account only some 50 were brought over. I tried exporting a Microsoft Outlook CSV file to Outlook.com and the same thing happens. A number of such contacts are simple, just a name (letters, numbers, @ sign only) and an email address but they did not make it.
Oh sorry, I bought a new Windows Phone 8x 4G LTE unit that is fantastic....except for this problem.
Anyone has a suggestion how I could bring over the other contacts (so that I do not have to do it manually, one by one, on the phone)?
Thank you.

Found a solution (there may be others): since I read that a problem may be with strange characters/info in my Yahoo Mail contacts, I extrapolated a Microsoft Outlook CSV file from the Yahoo account. Brought the file into a spread sheet and erase all the info except for the individual names and email addresses. Then save the file in the same format. Opened my Outlook.com account, went to People, then 'import from file' and designated this CSV file and it came over without a hitch.
I hope this is of help to others facing this problem. Best,

Cannot sync yahoo mail on htc one M8

I just got my htc one m8 and I'm trying to get everything setup. I've set up my other email accounts on exchange but when I try to sync my yahoo mail it does not work. I enter my user/pass and it says checking account settings... Then after a minute or so I get a message that says Cannot connect to the remote server. Please check the network settings and then try again.
To be clear, I'm on wifi and my network is working fine for everything except this. Any ideas what may be causing it?

looks like a quick google search solved my issue. You have to set it up manually. The server address and port #'s are wrong by default. If anyone else has the issue you can follow these instructions.
