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.

  • Why don't my contacts sync from iCloud?

    I have moved my mobile me account to iCloud. Backed up my iPhone, backed up my iPad but my contacts folder is still empty. What do I do to make it sync? I thought it was all meant to happen automatically!

    I have been STRESSED about my contacts. Not only were my contacts not syncing, my computers were freezing because of 'AddressBookSourceSync.' iCloud at this moment can't support Groups, if you have groups in your address book that you have created, back up your address book on your Mac and save it on your hard drive until Apple sends out a fix.
    On your Mac(s) go to Systems Preferences under Mail stop syncing your iCloud address book. Delete your complete iCloud account from iPhone, iPod Touch and/or iPad and DO NOT KEEP THE CONTACTS ON YOUR DEVICES!.  Delete your groups individually on http://iCloud.com. **delete your groups, not your address book** Once you have no groups, and 'All Contacts' is the only category you see on iCloud's website, delete your entire address book on your Mac(s) -- you should have NO ADDRESSES IN YOUR APPLE ADDRESS BOOK! Go back to System Preferences and allow iCloud to sync again. When it syncs in your Apple Address Book 'iCloud Addresses' with NO GROUPS listed.
    !!BACKUP YOUR DEVICES!!
    On your devices, make sure you have no addresses, if you don't re-add your iCloud account and you are ready to go. Add a "test" contact and it should sync. If you can't remove the addresses from your phone, iPad or iPod, reset the phone and DON'T RESTORE FROM A BACKUP, start your phone from scratch and re-add iCloud.
    When Apple fixes this problem, you can easily restore from the backup you did earlier. This does not remedy the battery drain problem on iPhone 4S, but my Macs no longer freeze and my address books are syncing perfectly.

  • If i backed up my old phone why aren't my contacts syncing

    i had a problem with my old phone so i went to the apple store and they told me to back up my information on my computer which i did so i went to the apple store today to exchange my phone for a new one since i got my last one in february, now i connected my new iphone to my computer (iphone 4) and it says that i have no sim card, the last iphone i had didnt have one either but i was able to use it - this one won't let me go past the first few things that pop up when you get a new phone.. if i dont have a sim card how do i come about this problem?

    You have to have a SIM card from an activated iPhone or one that was previously used to activate the original iPhone in order to activate your phone for use, even if you don't have service.  If you don't have one borrow one from a friend.

  • Why did Photo stream not sync in iCloud

    Why didn't photo stream sync with iCloud on? I turned it on for both devices.

    Photo stream only adds photos taken on your device after turning it on.  Earlier photos aren't added.  New photos are added when the camera is closed, the device is connected to wifi and it has at least 20% battery life remaining.  Both devices also have to be sharing the same iCloud account to receive photos from your photo stream.  (If they aren't sharing the same iCloud account you would have to create a shared photo stream album and share this with your other device.  This article discusses how to do this: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmc0cd7e99.)
    Try taking a new photo on one of your devices, close the camera app, then be sure you are connected to wifi.  Then see if it streams to your other device (assuming it is signed into the same iCloud account).

  • Yahoo Contact Sync Alert for Deleted Account

    I keep getting a yahoo contact sync alert every thirty minutes or so - most annoying as I don't want to sync any contacts, and it wants to sync with a deleted account. This happened after the upgrade to Lion.

    I don't see anywhere in iCloud where I can delete the account.  I do maintain the account in Mail, but I looked in there before I posted anything here and it's not set to sync contacts.  This is the only thing I have a problem with is that it's trying to sync contacts.  I don't want to do this anymore and haven't done it for a while.  I would just tell it OK and be done with it, but the contacts on Yahoo don't match up with the contacts on my Mac/on iCloud...and the only options are to replace with the Yahoo contacts or merge the contacts.  I don't want to do either, and there's no option to replace the Yahoo contacts.  One other thing that I didn't note before is that it's only doing it on my MacBook Air.  It's not doing it on any of my other Macs which were also set to sync with Yahoo at one time, but had the sync turned off.

  • I have my contacts synced with icloud and exchange. I want all of them to be synced via icloud, I have tried turning contacts off and then clicking merge but that doesn't copy all of them over. How do I transfer all contacts onto my phone and then icloud?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If you can't do this on a computer, which would be much easier using drag and drop, then you will need to share the contacts with yourself in order to move them to the iCloud account.

  • 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'

  • How to get rid of yahoo contacts syncing?

    Reposting from another board, because I wasn't getting any replies there.
    I had to set up an iPod touch for my boss's son a while a go and I used Yahoo address book syncing at that time. Now, few months later, I got a 3GS for myself and whenever I sync it with my iTunes at work(Vista machine), Yahoo contacts sync window comes up, warning me that it's about to erase all of my contacts. I get a choice of canceling it, but it's still really annoying, especially since I have contact syncing turned off for my phone. Please help!

    Choose Preferences from the Safari menu, open the General pane if needed, and change it. If that doesn't work, open the Extensions tab and turn off everything you don't recognize.

  • Why aren't my contacts not syncing between my iPhone and iPad ?

    I normally add contacts onto my iPhone and I noticed that the new ones are not appearing on my iPad contacts so I end up having to share them via messages or email. Anyone know why this is happening? Thanks.

    First things to check is to make sure iCloud is on on both devices and you are signed I n to the same account on each device. Also check to make sure Contacts syncing is on on both devices.

  • HT204150 Why aren't my contacts showing up on iCloud from my phone?

    So, I am attempting to use the icloud feature to create groups. However, when I go on my icloud contacts, none of my contacts show up from my phone! My accounts are linked, etc etc. How do I get them to show up? The only thing that shows up is my name.
    One odd thing that happened when I did the iphone ios version 5 update is all my contacts were erased. That really ticked me off. So what is it that apple and I cannot seem to work through? Is this a technical problem?
    Update: starting to realize that I am adding all my contacts to the "on my iphone" list. So is there any way to quickly transer the on my iphone contact group to my icloud group so i can make more groups?
    grumble grumble. >:/
    Thanks in advance.

    Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars and tap Default Account in the Contacts section.  Here, select iCloud as the default so new conacts are created in your iCloud account in the future (rather than in On My iPhone).
    Then go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts to Off, when prompted choose Delete from My iPhone.  This will delete the iCloud contacts from your phone but not from iCloud.  They will be synced back later.
    Next, download the app My Contacts Backup.  Use the app to back up the contacts on your phone (from the On My iPhone account) as an attachment to an email.  Send this email to yourself.
    Go back to Settings>iCloud and turn Contacts back to On.  This will sync your iCloud contacts back to your phone.
    Open the email you sent earlier and tap the attachment to add the contacts to your phone.  They will be imported to your iCloud account as you set this as your default earlier.
    Finally, to avoid seeing duplicates of your On My iPhone contacts, open your contacts and tap Groups.  You can either tap the On My iPhone group until it's unchecked and tap Done (which will hide these from view); or, you can tap the other groups until On My iPhone is the only one checked and tap Done, then go through these contacts and delete them from your phone.  When finished, recheck the other Groups and tap Done.

  • Google CONTACT sync with iCloud Contact sync?!

    i am trying to finalize a sync of my contacts so that i have PHONE NUMBERS sorted in groups on my iPhone but i /also/ have email addresses to use in the autocomplete function in Mail on my phone.
    if i don't have the Phone Numbers sorted into groups i will not be able to find anything and if i don't have emails in the autocomplete then i have to literally run a search in (what i have found to be a weak search function on the iPhone in Mail) then i have to find an email sent from this person, then i have to COPY the address than i have to paste it into an email.
    i /currently/ have a sync using iCloud of my MOST IMPORTANT phone numbers and the "Previous Recipients" email data that i have run a applescript to get into AB/Contacts. So now the phone numbers and this Previous Recipients data is available to all devices.
    i won't bore you with the details but i am finally uploading everything else (business cards etc, etc) to Google Contacts.
    does anyone have any suggestions at this point as to whether i can ADD a sync with Google presumably by checking something in iTunes OR whether there is a way to add a GMail as a Microsoft Exchange Account?

    http://www.maciverse.com/add-gmail-contacts-to-ios-5.html
    SHOULD I JUST EXPORT MY CONTACTS/ADDRESS BOOK DATA and import it to Google and just do a Google sync?
    CAN I DO BOTH SYNCS AT THE SAME TIME?
    WILL THE GOOGLE DATA SHOW UP in autocomplete in MAIL on all my devices?
    anyone done this in a way that works?!
    THANKS

    Preference -> Accounts
    Under accounts you have your local On My Mac account, which Apple supplies the ability to sync with google and yahoo. Then there is no way to sync it with icloud. When you add your icloud account as well you just have 2 seperate address books in the same app, with no way to keep them in sync.
    Do you mean like this?
    I don't seem to be having any issue adding an iCloud account to address book.

  • How do I disable yahoo contact sync?

    After installing 10.7.2 on my 2010 21.5 iMac, I started getting popup Yahoo windows asking if I wanted to sync my contacts.  I keep clicking cancel but every 15 min or so, the same window comes up.  I have checked my address book and I have it set to sync with iCloud.  I have not set anything to sync with Yahoo. How can I disable or remove Yahoo from asking to sync my contacts?
    Alice

    MAKE IT STOP!!!!
    I am also having the exact same problem! I have done the same as Nyghtone by
    - Deleting iCal sync
    - Making sure I was not signed into MobileMe (I wasn't as I haven't used MobileMe other than find my iPhone)
    - Deleting yahoo email accounts
    - Deleting keychain referrences
    - Etc, etc, etc...
    - Yada, yada, yada....
    (I have not actually done the resetting the sync framework per http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627, but I am not convinced this is the source.) This problem began right after I upgraded my iPhone and iPad to iOS 5 and activated the cloud.
    There has to be a solution other than me clicking cancel every 15 minutes.

  • Contact sync via iCloud

    Hello,
    I noticed recently that not all of my contacts were synchronized between my iPhone 5 and my MacBook Pro (Mac OS 10.8.2, btw). On my iPhone, some of the contact infos are stored on iCloud, and the others on the iPhone itself (I truly don't know why), and only the contacts on iCloud sync with the contacts app on the MBP. Does someone know how to solve this?
    Thank you!

    I've just got an iPhone, and noticed, like some people, that there were some differences in my contacts list.  Like you I was miffed as contacts on iPhone and MBA were not in perfect harmony.  On my iPhone I tried turning the contacts off on iCloud then turning back on again and, hey presto, the changes on my MBA synced with the phone.  I'm not at all technical (retired 60 something lady) and was as annoyed as anyone that my 200+ contacts didn't sync automatically but this worked for me, hope it helps someone else too.

  • Only D-Z Contacts Synced To iCloud

    I'm using iPhone 5 and have an iCloud account set to sync my contacts with iCloud. I jumped in a lake with the phone in my pocket so now it's dead and I'm looking at iCloud and only my D-Z contacts got synced. What's the deal with this? Do my contacts sync on my itunes backup at least?

    Did you enable the syncing of Contacts on iTunes?  Usually, if you have it set up on iCloud, it defaults to 'off' for iTunes.
    Restore from your iTunes backup and see what happens.

  • 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).
