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 have checked iCal and address book and email. No reference to Yahoo, but popup still occurs. HELP!
MacBookPro, Mac OS X (10.7.2)
I am having the same problem. I deleted a yahoo email account because it got corrupted, and now im getting this message. I have removed the email account from everywhere I can think of on my Mac, and the popups continue.
I'm having the same problem, and it's about to drive me CRAZY! It started for me after I updated to 10.7.2 and converted my MobileMe account to iCloud. Makes me feel a little better knowing I'm not the only one having this problem.
I have just resigned to the fact that it is there forever. I keep the Alert up in a desktop all by itself so I dont have to keep seeing it in my active work area. Hopefully Apple will figure out a fix in he next year or two.
I *think* I may have fixed mine. I still had the MobileMe sync icon in my menu bar, but the option to display/not display that icon isn't available after converting to iCloud. I did a search on how to remove it, and found someone in that thread say that removing that icon helped with other problems they were having (but the person didn't elaborate on what those other problems were). When I read that, I realized that the sync icon was rotating every time that popup about Yahoo would come up. I removed the sync icon from my menu bar and so far no more Yahoo sync popups. I'm going to wait a little longer before I give a definite yes that it fixed the popup issue.
To remove it: hold down the command key and drag the icon off of the menu bar.
Well...that didn't work. Just got the popup again. đ
OK...I think I've narrowed this down to being a MobileMe issue. There's apparently still something going on with MobileMe syncing after converting to iCloud. If I go to System Preferences > MobileMe and sign out of MobileMe I stop getting the Yahoo contacts sync popup. If I sign back in to MobileMe the popups start coming back. All MobileMe syncing options become unavailable after the conversion to iCloud, so guess I'll just stay signed out of MobileMe.
Unfortunatly, im still getting the pop up, and i never had a mobile me account. For the time being, i have left it in a seperate desktop so i don't have to see it. Hopefully it is covered in the next Lion update.
I just started having the problem. I have no idea how it started as I didn't do anything new or different. Has anyone found a solution or do I just have to live with it?
Have any of you contacted Yahoo?
I did but they didn't deign to answer.
So they just didn't respond? I'll try.
No luck. Yahoo Customer Care doesn't let you talk with them on Mac topics anymore. đ
I think I found a fix: I went into Address Book and in preferences I unchecked the box next to synch with Yahoo. I haven't getten the pop-up in 24 hours. Knock wood....
That might solve it.
Since I updaded to Lion and Icould I had the yahoo sync pop up showing up.
I got rid of the yahoo sync pop up message ( that was driving me crazy). The apple care operator suggested to go to:
UTILITIES>
KEY CHAIN ACCESS>
PREFERENCES>
and RESET MY DEFAULT KEY CHAIN
it seems that the sync progams was trying to seach for a password of my n account that was deactivated.
hop this helps.
Yahoo wants to sync, and I keep saying NO!
