Synchronize A Smartphone And Yahoo! Calendar

Synchronize a Smartphone and Yahoo! Calendar


Synchronizing Yahoo! Calendar directly with your smart phone's native calendar through your wireless network (also known as over-the-air) or Wi-Fi is only possible with an iPhone running mobile OS 3.0 and above. Other smart phones (e.g., Blackberry smart phones, Palm Pre's and smart phones running the Android mobile OS by Google) are currently unable to sync directly to Yahoo! Calendar over the air.


Instructions


1. Tap on the "Settings" app on your iPhone. If you are unable to locate the "Settings" app, tap on the physical "Home" button, then wait two seconds and tap on the "Home" button again. Type "Settings" in the search field, then tap on the "Settings" search result with your finger.


2. Tap on the "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" menu option with your finger (which is located underneath the "General" menu option).


3. Tap on the "Add Account" menu option with your finger, then tap on "Other" on the next screen.


4. Tap on the "Add CalDAV Account" menu option with your finger, which is located in the "Calendars" section.


5. Type in "yahoo" in the "Server" field, which the iPhone will automatically change to the appropriate server domain. If the iPhone does not automatically change or switch to the correct domain, type in "caldav.calendar.yahoo.com" in the "Server" field.


6. Type in your Yahoo! user name in the "User Name" field, then type in your password in the "Password" field.


7. Type in a name for your Yahoo! Calendar account in the "Description" field. Then tap on the blue "Next" button near the top of the screen to have your iPhone calendar sync with your Yahoo! Calendar.
