Yahoo Email and Calendar will sync to my iPhone, but Contacts will not. Selection for "Default Account" doesn't even show in the Contacts section within Settings on the iPhone.

I have always had my Yahoo Email, Calendar and Contacts synched to my iPhone. However, I noticed some Contacts weren't synching from the Yahoo account to my iPhone, so I thought if I just deleted the Yahoo account and added it back, I'd be fine. That worked fine for my Email and Calendar, but now I have NO Contacts from Yahoo on my iPhone. When I go to Settings, under Contacts, it doesn't even have the option for 'Default Account.' Help!

Hello Marsha,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Select only email and calendar to sync (not contacts)

Is there any way to get Versamail/activesync to only sync email and calendar (not contacts) to an outlook server? I want to manage contacts with Palm Desktop through hotsync and get email and calendar wirelessly on my Centro. I have too many contacts (~4K), so sync'ing to Outlook wirelessly fails.
Post relates to: Centro (AT&T)

Indeed. I have a slightly different, but perhaps even more common challenge. I use IMAP and Snappermail for all of my mail, because it supports a number of security modes upon which I insist. There's no way to get Versamail to ONLY sync Calendar and Contacts information without also pulling down at least headers for a bunch of mail about which I already know and wouldn't read in Versamail anyway.
If someone enters the ActiveSync middleware market for PalmOS (sorry, I haven't gotten used to saying "Garnet" yet) the way Markspace did with The Missing Sync for Macs, they'll be heroes.

I am trying to set my Persona back to the Firefox default. I have followed the instructions and have gone to Tools-Add Ons-Themes but there is no selection for Default for Firefox. I've spent over an hour on this. Please help. Thanks!

I want to remove the Persona I selected and return to the Firefox default. I have outlined the issue above. I have followed the instructions in the FAQ's. There is no selection for Default for Firefox.

Do you see that persona on the Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes page?
Does that persona have an uninstall button?
If that doesn't help the reset the lightweightThemes on the about:config page
lightweightThemes.isThemeSelected -> false
lightweightThemes.usedThemes -> (empty string)
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. 
You can use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a pref more easily.

HT204053 I deleted my previous email and have moved using a new one but itunes continues to ask for my password to the old email address that dosent exist anymore and I can't get on to transfer data to my new ipad?

I recently moved from Winnipeg to Brandon MB, and have changed my email address and attempted to delete the old one. Everytime I go to download or transfer data to my iphone or ipad I hit a wall. The system is asking me for my password to my old email address that dosent exist and I can't remember anyway. How do I get around this wall? I cant figutre it out. I do have a new email and password that has been registered with iCloud, etc. but the old one keepd jumping in

We need to be clear here. Did you create a second ID, or just modify the single ID?

TS1702 Does anyone know what this means and how to trouble shoot it? "This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled."

I am unable to update any apps on my computer due to this--thoughts?

All apps, and any other content, that is downloaded from the store are tied to the account that downloaded them. Were those apps bought by a different iTunes account, or bought by the account that you are currently logged in with but you have been refunded for their purchases ? If neither of the above then try logging out of your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > Sign Out menu option, close and re-open iTunes, sign back into your account and retry and see if it then works.

How do I automatically sync outlook contacts to iphone contacts? My email and calendar does this but even though in settings I have the contacts ON it does not.

How do I get my outlook contacts to automatically sync to my iphone 5? In settings I have it set up to do so BUT it does not. My email and calendar updates every 1/2 hour but I can't get my contacts to auto update. Please advise.

Start with your finger at the bottom of the screen (about even with the home button) and swipe in an upward motion. There should be a row of icons at the top of a grey field. if the quarter-moon icon is bright white, tap it. If it was (and still is) dark, take the iPhone in to be evaluated by a qualified technician.

I just got a new iPad 2 and I have lot of questions. I was able to wirelessly link my iPad and iTunes on my PC. I was able to SYNC my email and calendar (new only no history), however I have not been able to SYNC Outlook contacts.

I just got a new iPad 2 and I have lot of questions. I was able to wirelessly link my iPad and iTunes on my PC. I was able to SYNC my email and calendar (new entries only no history), however I have not been able to SYNC Outlook contacts. Outlook has multiple contact lists. Only one has any data. I can't find a way to delete the others and I can't keep the one I want to use at the top of the list. Any ideas?
I have a question about email. I have several thousand emails in 10 or so days. How can I select multiple emails for deletion in stead of one at a time? How do I designate emails from a given sender as junk or block certain senders?
Ron

the spcs page on this site state which video formats the ipad supports
I'd suggest converting your old videos to one of those formats
handbrake is a free program which does this for you
itunes used to be able to too when I right clicked incompatible media but don't see the option any more
or maybe it only show when one right click incompatible media and currently my lib don't have any
about the music then it's odd what formats are they?
if they are acc protected have you tried to remove the DRM this can be don using itunes as
apple don't use DRM for music any more

Getting email and calender to sync to iMac like it does with iPad and iPhone

Ok here is the problem we currently have a bigpond email account (Australia) and also use calendar associated with that email address and this has been working fine for well over 14 months. Earlier this year we got a iphone 5 and also set up the email and calendar on that device so that the 2 devices synched and they do no problems. The 2 devices are logged into iCloud.
Note both devices required the setting up of email using the Hotmail option to take advantage of the new infrastructure Bigpond have with Microsoft Live.
About a month ago we replaced our old PC with a new iMac. When setting up the iMac we have set up the bigpond email and also logged that iMac into icloud using the same ID as the other two devices. When setting up the email it was noticably different in that the hotmail option to set up the account didnt exist but anyway I got the email account set up regardless and emails are working. Calender entries on the other hand are not. I dont seem to be able to get the calendar entries that synch across iPad and iPhone to sync with the iMac.
We cannot also get folders within email to sych across the devices either. I believe that this has something to do with POP vs IMAP ????.
I really would like to get email and calendar to sync across all 3 devices using the bigpond email address.
I spoke with Apple without much luck as they seemed to believe that bigpond email is using POP and thus cant synch folders across devices and couldnt help me with the calendar not synching across the devices.
Can anyone help me ? Point me in the direction of useful links ?

Re Outlook for Mac - can anyone confirm that this will acheive my aims to have emails and associated folders within email to synch across all devices and that calender will also sycn across all devices using iCloud ?

I can't get icloud to sync my ipad notepad to my mac. it works fine for email and calendar?I have clicked the notepad setting on my iPad to ON.

i can't get icloud to sync my ipad notepad to my mac. it works fine for email and calendar?I have clicked the notepad setting on my iPad to ON.

On the iPad tap Settings > iCloud. Switch Calendars off then back on then reset the iPad.
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
On the iMac, open System Preferences > iCloud. Deselect the box next to Calendars then reselect that box then restart your iMac.

When I create a Calendar Invite .... Example 3:00 ... the email the invitee receives says 7:00 pm GMT but when she accepts is shows the correct time of 3:00pm. How can this be fixed so the email and calendar are in sync?

When I create a Calendar Invite (Example 3:00 pm EST) ... the email the invitee receives reads 7:00 pm GMT. But when she opens her calendar the time is posted correctly. How can I get the email and calendar to show the same time?

Internally, all calendar items are based on GMT... That's how you can send an invitation to someone in a different time zone, for a conference call, for example, and end up on the phone at the same time even though you may be many hours apart by the clock...

TS4002 iCloud for email is not on my Mac. How can I get email and iCal to sync with iphone and ipad.

iCloud for email is not on my Mac. It should be under Internet and wireless in System Preferences but it is not. Basically I am trying to get iCloud running successfully on my Mac for email and Calendar so that it will sync with my iPad and iPhone. I was an MobilMe customer and I've been having trouble with this conversion to iCloud. Thanks.

I too was a mobileme user and have just migrated to iCloud on mackbook pro w/OS 10.7.4. Transition caused my sent mailboxes to rearrange themselves so that I have no comprehensive 'sent' mailbox as I did previously and the view on both incoming and outgoing mailboxes keeps rearranging itself no matter how many times I set preferences. One result is that search function no longer works. Is anyone else having problems like this? All was fine for a week after transition but after having an evening when my password was repeatedly rejected I had to log in and out of iCloud (as directed by tech support) and w/in an hour or so the mailbox problem began.

IPhone 3G Email and Calendar times off by one hour (slow one hour)

My times which I send/receive emails or put appointments on the calendar are 1 hour slow as compared to my computers. I have Mobile Me and Mobile Me (on the computer) and my Outlook emails and calendars match and my current time is correct on all. On the IPhone 3G the current time is correct but the time a email is sent or received and all appointments on the calendar are both off by one hour (one hour slow on the IPhone 3G).
I have set time automatically in "settings" to on, and under "email contacts and calendar" I have time zones disabled. I have tried each possible combination of these settings but cannot get the email/calendar times to match between my computers and the IPhone 3G regardless of how these are set.
I have numerous computers and all times are correct on all. On the IPhone 3G the current time (the clock) is correct, but times in emails and calendar appointments are all off (slow) by exactly one hour no matter what I do.
Anybody else have this issue, and/or know what the solution might be?
Thanks
The Omega

I have tried that and it did not work. I am now trying it with everything set to enable DST, and see if that works. Everything, so far, seems to be in sync. The phone would be right for a second when you went into the calendar and then change to be an hour off. Strange. I think the settings I have now (all, Windows, MobileMe, and the IPhone 3G set to DSL on, the same) may be working. Only time will tell.
Thank you.

Yahoo Email and Calendar will sync to my iPhone, but Contacts will not. Selection for "Default Account" doesn't even show in the Contacts section within Settings on the iPhone.
