Yahoo Calendar Not Syncing

I have a yahoo calendar configured in both my iPhone and iPad. I have three calendars within the Yahoo account. They show up in the iPhone/iPad calendar and I can add new events on the iphone in any of the Yahoo calendars. However, events that I create in iCal on a computer don't sync to the iPhone/iPad and events I create on the iPhone/iPad don't sync to iCal.


When I go to my Yahoo calendar online, the events from iCal are on the online Yahoo calendar but the iPhone/iPad events are not.


Any ideas?


Running the latest version of IOS.

I posted a better solution several months ago. Every few months I get the "Caldav password incorrect..." All I do is go to settings, Safari and delete cookies and clear history. Then reboot the device. After that everything syncs both ways, including items added during the "password incorrect" state. This has worked at least 4 times for me. One of the times I had to re-enter the password as well, after the re-boot.

I got so frustrated with all of this that I just bagged the yahoo calendar and switched to google calendar. It syncs fine (<1 min from the time an event is added on the phone to show up on the computer and vice-versa).


If some of your residual yahoo events remain on the iphone/ipad, it's super easy to flip them onto your google account. Just open the event and change on your iphone and change the calendar it's associated with to the google calendar.


By the way, I'm largely having the same issue with my contacts (which I've been keeping on Yahoo). Changes are not synched consistently. I'm contemplating flopping those to either iCloud or Google. Shame on Yahoo...

Yahoo Calendar stopped syncing so I deleted my Yahoo Account and readded in. In the Mail, I made sure my Yahoo email account is set at default. I do not see Yahoo Calendar as option under calendar setting. When I goto Calendar app, it's completed empty, no entries what so ever. Yahoo Mail and Contacts seem to work fine, just Yahoo Calendar not showing at all? Anyone found what the problem is or solutions? Thanks.

there's another discussion thread on this....it looks like people with Yahoo calendar problem all of sudden not working is realted to having ATT or SBC email linked as the primary account. This is my situation as well when I first got the ATT small business email powered by Yahoo. But now Yahoo and ATT are separating their partnership. I have another Yahoo email account for personal use and the Calendar syncs fine with my iPhone since it's not linked to my SBC. That's the only thing I can think off. Curious to know how many of you also have either ATT or SBC linked that's causing this.

Here's the other discussion thread link:

I have been messing with this same issue all week! Over the weekend, my iPad updates stopped going to my PC Yahoo calendar. By Monday morning, the calendar had completely disappeared from the iPad!!! I've made numerous phone calls and tried all kinds of syncing to no avail. This morning, I finally tried opening a Google calendar and import my Yahoo calendar, but even that wouldn't work. :-(
