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?

I'm having this EXACT same problem. What I've tried that hasn't worked.


1. deleting ical sync account

2. deleting address book sync account

3. resetting the syn framework as per (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627)

4. deleting keychain references to yahoo

5. deleting every file on my file system with yahoo in the name(many plt and random library files)

6. uninstalling yahoo messenger and every other yahoo application

7. pulling my hair out!!!!!!!


If anyone comes up with a better solution please let me know, this is driving me insane!!!

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.
