Yahoo! Sync Secretly Installed in 10.4.10

June 21, 2007 by Dan in Apple with 3 Comments

Friend of the site Erica Sadun has found that in Apple’s recently released 10.4.10 update secretly installs a framework for Yahoo Sync that contains an embedded Yahoo!Sync application.

If you want to find it on your computer, choose Go -> Go To Folder in Finder and enter:

/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/
YahooSync.framework/Versions/A/Resources

With a little poking around in this undocumented framework Erica reports that with a supplied Yahoo ID Apple’s Address Book and iCal will sync with your Yahoo services. Hmmmmm, I thought Apple and Google were BFF!

Staying exclusive friends with one company is no way to foster competition, and would definitely come back to haunt you. To be honest, I’m just glad apple isn’t trying to do everything themselves, farm out to who knows what they are doing…

I’ve been wanting to sync my calendar from iCal to a web based calendar for quite awhile now but with Google Calendar. :-(

Apple please do Google Calendar and Address book syncing as-well!

Qsssss
That is all, over and out.

Could this be due to iPhone? It has a free push IMAP account with it so going to need some kind of contact sync.
