Iphone Calendar query

Loobs72 · 21-09-2009, 20:16

I have read that it is possible to sync my calendar on iphone through itunes to yahoo. I have followed instructions on yahoo on how to set it up but when I came to sync the phone it has not copied over my appointments to yahoo.

Does anyone else sync their calendar with yahoo and iphone and can help me.

Thanks

A quick Google returns:
[LIST=1][*]Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars on the iPhone
[*]Tap the ‘Add Account…’ button
[*]Tap Other > Add CalDAV Account
[*]For Server, type “yahoo” (without the quotes) — this will be automatically converted to caldav.calendar.yahoo.com
[*]For User Name and Password, enter your Yahoo account login details
[*]Tap Next and the iPhone will confirm the settings — tap Save to finish
[*]Go to the iPhone calendar application to trigger the first sync.[/LIST]
Not sure if it works as I don't have a yahoo calendar in order to try it.

Hi

Thanks for this. I have followed all these steps. My stumbling block is the last point about triggering the first sync, I am very confused.

If anyone can help I would be very grateful.

Thanks

It doesnt though thats why Im confused. Am I supposed to have a particular application installed or something like that? When I go into calendars there is a calendar showing from pc which has all my appts in and a yahoo calendar with no appointments in.

No you don't need any third party applications, only the built-in calendar app is required.

I'm unsure why it isn't working for you though, I sync with my MobileMe calendar with no issues at all.

How does the sync happen then? I dont understand how the sync happens? I am inputting my appointments into the iphone calendar - should I be putting them in Yahoo instead and then they sync over to my iphone.

Im totally confused

does your yahoo calender have events in it?

Yeah use the Yahoo calendar as if its the iPhone calendar.

andybno1 · 22-09-2009, 11:08

well I just done a test of the yahoo calender and added a couple of events then opened the calender on iPhone it took a few seconds but it synced fine here.
