Will we ever see 2-way syncing with Yahoo contacts?

Well, another major update has come and gone, and 1.4 really does have some nice features (and seems at least initially to have improved battery life, which had gotten beyond pathetic for me), but still no ability to make changes to Yahoo contacts on the Pre. I would have just left my contacts on Google if I'd had any idea it would be this long. I don't even know if Palm or Yahoo is the holdout, and at this point don't care -- I'd just REALLY like to be able to modify contacts on the phone. Anyone have any insight at all?
Thanks,
-- robert

Only thing I can offer is Yahoo does allow exporting your contacts online. Then you can import that file into google contacts.

HT1349 why is iphone 4s cannot 2 way sync with outlook contacts??

why cannot iphone 4s 2way sync with outlook contacts? it says we have to use google calendar, i could not manage it but why we should pay so much money and have to sync pc and iphone contacts manualy..

The sync process for contacts with a supported address book app on your computer is a bi-directional or true sync process, or should be. There is no setting to enable or disable this.

Syncing with yahoo contacts

In recent weeks i have been losing my contacts which are synced with yahoo. Is anyone elese having the same problem? How to fix it?

I have the same problem. Contacts in Yahoo disappear and then reapper back again several times per day. I have the impression that it depends if there is a connection to internet to synch with yahoo.
As I have some of my favorites number on the yahoo contact list, I found that I go to favorites and there are just the numbers and no name. After few minutes I go to the favorites list again and the name appear again.
It is very annoying problem.
Especially as when the contacts are lost and I get a phone call, it appears only the number and not the name of the caller.
Is there any one with a solution to this defect?
Thanks

No sync with yahoo contacts

hi all,
since upgrade to ios8 /new itunes (?) my yahoo contacts don't sync with my 4s anymore. Tried everything like switch sync on/off; reinstall account; reboot phone etc. does anybody have a solution to this problem? thx for helping!
cheers
stefan

OK; this is pretty flippin' funny. I hope an Apple geek stumbles over this and can carry the multiple levels of irony back to the hive.
I found this thread while searching for solutions to the same problem on my iPod touch. The strong sense of "duh, I am connected to the 'net" really. Goes double for you 'Phone guys.
You guys can't even leave the store without being connected to the 'net; right?
So the first bit of irony is that the sweet and helpful Apple (1) hasn't made the configuration requirement clear and, even more, (2) why it's an issue at all. These are computers; so they could just program it to insert the (painfully) missing "@yahoo.com" automatically. (Can I get a "hellooo?")
But the second bit of irony is that the "sync with Yahoo" procedure is tied exclusively to iTunes. (Need another, "hellooo?" here.) Too bad iPhones aren't autonomously connected to the 'net 24x7. Oh, wait....
I guess this is where Apple gets a reminder that they make the koolade in those commercials -- but they're not supposed to drink it too!

2 way sync with outlook contacts

how do i configure itunes to do a 2 way sycn with my iphone and outlook 2010?

Cannot get to sync with Yahoo Contacts.

Upgraded iPhone4 to iOS 5.1 and lost Yahoo contacts, followed instructions on setting up CardDav account, and cannot get to sync.

I don't use Yahoo, but it looks like you may it may not use CardDav anymore. See if this helps: http://help.yahoo.com/kb/index?page=content&id=SLN4922&actp=search&viewlocale=en _US&searchid=1331396759728&locale=en_US&y=PROD_MAIL_ML

Syncing with yahoo - any updates on this?

Hi All,
I just received my new palm pixi (switched out my old blackberry) and thought I was moving up in the world. Now I see there are all kinds of issues syncing with yahoo contacts, calendar, etc. I only use Yahoo, and don't have a gmail account. My pixi keeps asking me to re-enter my password for contacts. My battery drained very quickly last night. I saw on the forum that there was lots of discussion about yahoo, but no resolution. What's the latest on this? Is there a fix?
I'm totally annoyed that I had to sign up for this forum in the first place - seems I should have stuck with my blackberry.

Have you tried completely removing and then re-adding the account? Very often a variety of glitches can be resolved that way.
Other thoughts are that it could be a bug related to having "special" characters within your password (such as ampersands or asterisks.)
As for signing up for the forum, why be annoyed? It's a good way to report problems and get questions answered by knowledgeable users as well as some of Palms paid tech support staff (whom I suspect contribute to these forums by and large voluntarily.)
Battery performance is something that Palm has been improving through over-the-air updates since the Pre was first released on Sprint almost a year ago. However not all battery issues are necessarily a problem with the phone. If for example last night you were in an area with poor signal the radio will constantly be attempting to find service which will drain the battery EXTREMELY quickly, but this is something which occurs with all phones smart, dumb, or otherwise.
I'm sorry you are having trouble and hope my suggestions above are able to help resolve your problem.

Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your iPhone. Only if you back up your phone manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
Do this:
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your iPhone without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPhone for the first time.
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

You can also back up iTunes and restore it on your new computer How to back up your media in iTunes ,but the iPhone will be erased anyway during the first sync.

Any Update on one-way sync with Nokia Suite?

Hi,
I've found several threats discussing on one-way sync capabilities.
I recently upgraded Outlook to 2010, PCSuite seems not to work with Outlook 2010. Therefore I moved to Nokia Suite. As I just lost 823 contacts, I'm really disapointed about this product.
In my case one-way sync to my divice would perfectly work, as I'm just using it with SIM access mode in my handsfree... no updates will ever be done in this phone!
I just updated my firmware (without backing up my phone before) and thought, I can (like in PCSuite) just do a one-way sync of my contacts... big mistake. As I've sync'ed my contacts before with Nokia Suite, the sync machanism though, I've deleted all my contacts in my phone (what actually the firmware update did) and deleted my contacts in Outlook as well...
Lucky my second device still has all relevant contacts. But I don't know how to bring these contacts back to my first, flashed device...
Any ideas?
Thanks!

I'm not sure, but this sounds like a question better posted in the MobileMe forums.

The music does not belong to you. You have no legal right to it and there is no way to keep it.
Sorry

IOS 7 ugrade failed " Error:Device disappeared during timed transition". Phone will not now turn on or sync with itunes, any ideas please?

iOS 7 ugrade failed " Error:Device disappeared during timed transition". Phone will not now turn on or sync with itunes, any ideas please?

if a Mac OSX Computer is in near - try iBackup Viewer.
This is free of charge and can read your backup.
and thats the main difference. Those tools are reading the saved Data in the backup
but itunes attempts to restore the data from the backup on your iphone. if there are any corrupted data in the backup - the backup restore goes wrong. this can happen during security software or wrong corrupt data already stored on the iphone.
if itunes messed up to restore from backup try this one :
- restore your iphone to factory settings using HT1808 or reset all settings and content direct from iphone
- rename your iPhone (e.g. iPhone Test)
- setup your iPhone as new device -> attempt to make a new backup - if successful -
- click in itunes on restore from backup... and choose your desired backup
or go to:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(Username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Windows Vista - Windows 7: \Users\(Username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Pull your complete BackupFolder and try a different PC - copy the BackupFolder on this different PC in the same Path above - start iTunes and see if your Backup is there - attempt to restore from Backup again

BBZ10 2 way sync with outlook

Is there an estimated date for when BB will have an upgrade available for 2 way syncing with outlook (the traditional BB way)?

Hi dbs4u and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums!
2-way synchronization is available with the latest version of BlackBerry Link (www.blackberry.com/desktop). I'm not quite sure what you are referring to by "Traditional BB Way".
Thanks.

i tried to sync my ipad to my itunes using usb but it will say not charging,, i can sync with my ipod touch without any problem... please help..

From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4060 :
The fastest way to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter. When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge, but only when it's in sleep mode.
iPods need less power to charge them (their wall charger is half the power of the iPad's, 5W as opposed to 10W), so are more likely to charge via USB
