Why are my contacts from yahoo not syncing correctly?

When I sync my contacts from Yahoo, they corrupt the entries on my iPhone 3GS. Some entries are duplicated, some data within enties are doubled or tripled, and some extra characters are inserted in the entry fields. The contacts won't copy to my iPad 2 at all. Is this an issue with Windows 7, Yahoo, iTunes, or? Is it possible to sync them accurately?

Thanks Meg, this works, at least in part.  Now the Contacts app populated, but only with 99 contacts, hardly all of them.  Do you know how to get all my Google contacts to sync?
Also, should I delete the Gmail account I had previously set up on the iPad now that I have set up as an Exchange account?

    Told me to try unchecking the box to sync Photos.
    Do a sync.
    Then check the box.
    And sync again.
    Going to try that now. Let me know if it works for you James

  • Contacts from iphone not syncing to cloud

    Hi,
    I am able to use iCloud (Very quickly I might add) to sync between my Mac, iPad and iPhone.  However, there are some contacts on the iPhone that won't update or sync to either the iPad or Mac.  For intance, A.B. Smith's address can be changed from any device and the others will change almost immediately, but John Baker can only be seen on the iPhone.
    Why would only some of the contact not sync?
    Eagerly,
    Andy

    anyone?

  • Contacts from gmail not syncing to icloud

    Hi,
    I am using an iphone 6 and having a difficult time trying to sync the contacts to icloud.
    Already synced contacts from my gmail to iphone using carddav account information in the contacts settings.
    But this contact list is not being synced to icloud (Ony the new contacts i add are being synced)
    How do I sync these contacts to icloud?
    Thanks

    Hey firedude3!
    It’s possible that you have iCloud syncing turned on for your calendar, but not turned on for your Contacts. Make sure that the Contact syncing is turned on by following the instructions listed here:
    Add contacts - iPhone
    http://help.apple.com/iphone/7/#/iph14a87326
    Besides entering contacts, you can:
    Use your iCloud contacts:  Go to Settings > iCloud, then turn on Contacts.
    If that setting is already turned on, then you will want to use this article as reference for troubleshooting the issue:
    iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Contacts

    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!

  • Why do my imessages from iphone not sync onto my macbook pro messages

    Basically my iPhone 4 syncs perfectly to iPad, though my new MacBook Pro won't sync over any of the old messages... Help?

    You can, but it's a bit involved and requires using an app.  Probably not worth it for only 5 contacts.  If you're interested in how you would do this, you would do the following:
    Go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts to Off, choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (any iCloud contacts will still be in iCloud).
    Download the app My Contacts Backup.  (If you have more than 500 contacts to transfer you will need the “Pro” version.)  Use the app to back up the remaining contacts on your phone (from the other accounts) as a vCard attachment to an email that you send to yourself.  Confirm that you have received the email.
    Go to Settings>iCloud and turn Contacts back to On.
    Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section) and set this to iCloud.
    Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars…tap each of the other accounts you are syncing contacts with and turn off contacts syncing with these accounts (otherwise you will see duplicate contacts on your device).
    Open the My Contacts Backup email and tap the attachment to import the contacts from the other accounts back to your device, and to iCloud.

  • Why are some of my songs not syncing in my playlist when most of them are?

    I am syncing playlists and a few of my songs are not syncing when the rest of them are. I have checked that they have been downloaded (and purchased!) and have a check mark in front of them. They are in the playlist lineup...

    Do the songs play in iTunes?          
    Do you have any Restrictions (Settings>General>Restrictions) set that would prevent syncing those songs? (iTunes purchases only)

  • Contacts in "Groups" not syncing correctly on iPhone/iPad

    I am using iCloud to keep my Address Book/Contacts synced between my Mac, iPad and iPhone. For the most part, the service works as advertised, i.e. editing, creating, deleting, etc. across all three devices.
    However, although all of my 1000+ contacts can be found on all three devices, only Address Book on the Mac displays my contacts in the correct Group, or in any Group for that matter.
    For example, my brother's contact card is in a group called "Family" on Address Book on my Mac. Although the group "Family" also appears on the Contacts app on both of my iOS devices, his contact card is not in the group "Family"! However, if I look through "All Contacts" on either iOS device, his contact card is there; it's just not in the "Family" group where it is supposed to be. The bug is not isolated to this single contact; I have dozens of contacts that are not appearing in any group on either iOS device, yet they appear in the correct group on Address Book on my Mac.
    Any ideas how I can fix this bug? I guess I should be thankful that the contact is even there, but if I can't count on iCloud to keep my "Groups" correctly synced, it kind of defeats the purpose of "Groups"...

    I have a very similar issue across my 3 iCloud synced devices (Mac Pro, MacBook Pro and iPhone 3GS). The contacts themselves are mirrored beautifully across every device, but the groups are syncing erratically.
    I have made quite a lot of changes to my groups this afternoon (bith adding/deleting groups and adding/deleting contacts). The changes I have made to the groups themselves show up fine across the three devices, but it is the contacts within them that are a little more ad-hoc! Quite a lot of them show up in the appropriate group on one device, but not on another.
    Can anyone shed any light?

  • Why are my contacts from my iPhone not syncing?

    I'm entering new contacts in my iPhone, and after syncing, those new contacts are not in my address book on my Mac.

    I recommend storing your contacts in iCloud and using iCloud contacts both on your Mac and your iPhone.

  • Why will my music from iTunes not sync to my iPad?

    I tried to drag music from my library to the iPad and the music files are all in grey. I've have reconnected the iPad but they still will not show. I have also restarted my iPad and computer. All songs and playlist from iTunes are there but are all greyed out. All music synced fine to my iPhone and iPod touch. HELP?!

    I forgot to mention that I am using Windows 8. Don't know if that helps?

  • Why are 16x9 photos from PSE8 not filling screen when exported to PRE8?

    I batch cropped a bunch of photos to (JPEG) 16x9 and created a slideshow in PSE8 (about 100 slides, 3.2 sec duration, random pan/zoom, random 1 sec transition). I had to click on each photo "properties" and choose "fit on slide" since it was defaulting to "crop to fit" (which was further cropping my 16x9 photos down to something not desirable).
    When I "Output to PSE8" it shows up in the sceneline as not filling the entire space. If I click on this slide show in PRE8 and use the "properties" then "motion" and increase the size of the pictures, they come out blurry. However, if I insert one of the 16x9 photos directly into PRE8, it fills the entire screen and is perfect focused.
    PLEASE tell me there is an easier solution than having to create the entire slideshow in PRE8. I really like the random transitions, easy batch duration pan/zoom, control.

    Thanks for such a quick response Steve. I will attempt to add more information to help clarify your addtional quesitons
    The pan and zoom I am using is the default (very minor- just enough to give the perception of movement).
       If I import directly into PRE8 the picture(s) look perfect. It just seems to occur after I port to PRE8
    I am not sure what workflow I am following but will be a bit more specific as to the steps I have been taking:
    1. I open the PSE8 workspace and choose "organize" (not edit)
    2. I click on "create" then click on "slideshow"
    3. Next I set my specific defaults (for this project) 3.2 sec interval, 1 second Random transitions, apply pan and zoom to all slides and leave the "crop to fit slide-landscape" checked ( thanks for the tip to uncheck this next time, so I dont have to do it to every slide!!)
    4. I then import my media from "add media" "photos and videos from folders" place the photos in the order i am looking for then save the project.
    5.I next click "output" and "edit with Premiere Elements" - which open PRE8
    6. in PRE8 setup I choose the "HDV 1080i 30" configuration.
    The slideshow has now ported over to PRE8. The slideshow bundle does not utilize all of the space in the sceneline, hence my problem (black bars top and bottom of screen). Ironically, when I import via get media (directly from PRE8) the same pictures from my computer file (not in the organizer), they fill the entire space in the sceneline (no black bars on top or bottom).  I have this problem regardless of whether or not I am using the pan/zoom or the unchecking of crop to fit slide landscape in PSE8.
    I can send a screen print if you think that might help??
    I sure hope this helps, all the other video items that are not related to this slideshow are perfect and this is killing me!!
    Thanks, again, Mike

  • HT3965 Why are my photos from iPhone NOT coming up on my iPad.  Same account for iCloud??

    I can't sync photos from iPhone onto iPad. I have same iCloud acct for both

    If you are talking about PhotoStream then it only transmits newly taken photos or just saved saved photos. Of course you have to turn PhotoStream On on each of your devices. See Settings > iCloud > Photos > Photostream.
    If you just want to move selected photos between devices you can use an App like Photo Transfer:

  • Why are push notifications from websites not working since 10.9.3?

    Since upgrading to OS X 10.9.3 on an early 2013 15 inch MBP Retina(8 GB RAM, 2.4GHz i7), push notifications from websites I had authorized (e.g. CNN, NYT, 9to5 Mac) stopped coming in.  I figured I would wait for another upgrade to see if that resolved the problem, but it has not.  I do participate in the Mavericks beta testing program, but am now running the official OS X 10.9.4, not the beta version.  I did provide feedback via the feedback assistant for this issue to the beta program as well.  Also, I figured I would go in and delete the websites that I had listed under notifications in System Preferences, but there is no way that I see to delete them at all (only go from banner or alerts to none).  Lastly, I did add one site to notifications since upgrading and I am getting push notifications from that site, but only that site.  Anyone have any ideas?  Thanks!
