Yahoo Contact Sync when 2 accounts added?

So I just recently added my second yahoo mail account to my iPhone (yeah I have my reasons for two) but when I went to sync it, it said there was an error in yahoo address sync and to try again later.
Could this be because I have two yahoo accounts?
My second account dose not have any addresses on it.
Thanks for any help.

After spending some time with Chat support, I have found that in order to re-establish a sync with Yahoo! contacts (should it have failed),
1. delete your Yahoo! account (all aspects, messaging, email, calendar, contacts)
2. restart the phone.
3. Open Accounts app
4. Add "Email Account" (do not choose Yahoo!)
5. Choose items that you wish to sync as usual.
For some reason, the Yahoo! setting is giving errors with the contact sync.
Hope this helps

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.

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.

Yahoo contact sync problem

I keep adding contacts on my iphone and then they momentarily show up in yahoo contacts and then I come back and they are removed. I have the latest version of iOS on my iphone 4s. Anyone else having this issues?

In a word, no.
Yahoo supports accessing a Yahoo account as an IMAP account with the iPhone's Mail application only - Yahoo doesn't support accessing the account as an IMAP account with an email client on your computer or with any other email client, which defeats the purpose and is required for what you are wanting.
When creating the account with the iPhone's Mail application using the Yahoo account preset, the account is created as an IMAP account. This will work in conjunction when accessing the account via webmail access using a browser, but it won't work in conjunction when accessing the account with an email client on your computer since the account can be accessed as a POP account only with an email client on your computer.

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).

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.

Exchange Calendar / Contacts Sync When Set to Fetch

OK - so like many of you I am turning off "Push" for my Exchange account to save battery life. I won't die if I get emails every 15 minutes...but I have one concern. If I am on Fetch set to every 15 minutes, will Exchange still go out and sync my Calendar and Contacts during those 15-minute increment check-ins? So far I can't really tell. When I go into Calendar it always goes out and checks the server anyway (manually) and updates it then, so it is hard to see if this is working.
Can anyone with Exchange set on Fetch verify this? Thanks!

Did you get any feedback about your question? If this works, I would like to attempt something similar for one of our users.
Thanks

IPhone won't sync when any account is logged in iTunes

As the title states, after I restored my iPhone 3G 8gb because it wouldn't sync with my computer I finally narrowed down the problem after many hours of troubleshooting to an account being logged into iTunes when the iPhone is trying to sync.
My Desktop is running Windows Vista x64, the iPhone doesn't have any problems connecting to my Macbook Pro regardless if an account is logged into iTunes or not.
Is there anyway to fix this?
edit: Seems like Kaspersky also prevents my iTunes from detecting my iPhone

We have 2 iPhones and two computers, one Mac and a PC. We recently downloaded iTunes v9 and now iTunes cannot “see” either of our phones on either computer. I have contacted Apple by phone and spent over an hour trying to resolve this connection problem. The Apple rep suggested that the issue might be in the “dock” and recommended I take the phones to iPnone supplier. Incidentally I can charge the phones using the “dock” which suggests that the “dock” is not the issue.
The iPhone supplier connected one one phone to his Mac computer and it immediately connected to and “saw” the phone. Interestingly, the supplier was only running iTunes v8. The supplier suggested there was a “patch” for iPhone to operate with itunes v9. Is this correct and if so how do I get it.
So my problem is that I cannot ever get to the stage of "syncing".
I have also noted on several “chat” sites people have had problems with iPhone and iTunes v9 connectivity.
Help!!!! please!!!

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.

Unrecognized Lync contact opens when sip address added in the outlook signature block

I have added my sip address into my outlook signature block. Why does an inactive contact conversation opens, if I click on the link in the signature? It looks, like my profile in Lync, with the same picture and name, but the presence cannot be recognized,
thus a Lync message cannot be sent.

Hi,
Which Lync 2010 command-line parameter did you added in the signature block?
If you want to open the IM conversation windows of you when others clicking the signature, you can use the following command-line parameter:
Sip:[email protected]
Sips:[email protected]
Im:<sip:[email protected]>
More details:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg398376(v=ocs.14).aspx
If you enter the correct command-line, however the issue persists, please try to delete your Lync user profile with the following path and then test the issue again:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Communicator\[email protected]

Contacts sync with email account

Hi I have a quick question, i used to sync my contacts in my bb with [email protected], so on clicking Contacts and then pressing bb buttion then go to option then under contact list, earliest it used to show as default now its showing as [email protected], but now i have deleted this email account from my device but under contacts its showing as [email protected] and not as default. any suggestion y this is happening ????? thnks

Syncing with cloud-based databases has been problematic for me too. I synced to my Apple iCloud account to get my contacts on my new Q10 but after that initial sync it stopped working. I set up GMail contacts and it never worked. I've also tried Live/Hotmail contacts and got nowhere. BlackBerry Link doesn't sync my contacts on my Mac either. So I'm back to maintaining two contact lists - on my Q10 and on my computers. It wasn't so bad because I had to do that with every phone I've owned until I used an iPhone. As a Mac user the iPhone is a dream as far as syncing contacts and files with iCloud.

Can I sync 2 iPhones to one itunes account but have seperate yahoo contacts

We have 2 iPhones and want to be able to share the same itunes account which doesn't seem to be a problem. However we can't seem to have separate yahoo contacts synced with the two separate phones. It wants to keep putting my wife's contacts on my phone or vice a versa. Now our Yahoo contacts are all mucked up. Any help would be appreciated. I can't believe we can't do this.

You can sync many devices to one itunes account. I, for instance, have two ipods and an iphone on one account. They all have different setting and contents, but still only sync to one itunes account.
Yes you and your wife can use one itunes account.

Sync yahoo contacts

Has anyone gotten this to work in the address book. I checked off the appropriate box and entered my username and password. I get the little rolling wheel and than it stops and nothing happens. No contacts come through.
I've also tried the yahoo contacts sync with my iphone through itunes and have had no luck.
Thanks

I recommend starting afresh, delete the account on the Z10, setup account again - email address - password - after verifying - syncing window should appear - slide all switches ON.
