I am trying to create a macOS shortcut (with the Shortcuts app) that fetches some stock quotes. According to this web page , here is how to use the JSON structure: 1. Open the Shortcuts app 2. Click on the + sign to create a new shortcut 3. Add action Get contents of URL 4. Insert desired URL 5. Add action Get dictionary from input (which automatically gets the dictionary from the URL) 6. Add action Get dictionary value 7. In field key insert fact 8. Add Show result which will automatically set the variable name to Dictionary Value 9. Add action Show result 10. Then click on the play button 11. Authorise access 12. A pop-up message appears. I looked up how Yahoo! Finance the API looks like thanks to this other web page which reveals the following API structure: { "quoteSummary": { "result": [ { "financialData": { "maxAge": 86400, "currentPrice": { "raw": 144.49, "fmt": "144.49" }, "targetHighPrice": { "raw": 214, "fmt": "214.00" }, "targetLowPrice": { "raw": 122, "fmt": "122.00" }, "targetMeanPrice": { "raw": 176.69, "fmt": "176.69" }, "targetMedianPrice": { "raw": 176, "fmt": "176.00" }, "recommendationMean": { "raw": 1.9, "fmt": "1.90" }, "recommendationKey": "buy", "numberOfAnalystOpinions": { "raw": 41, "fmt": "41", "longFmt": "41" }, "totalCash": { "raw": 48304001024, "fmt": "48.3B", "longFmt": "48,304,001,024" }, "totalCashPerShare": { "raw": 3.036, "fmt": "3.04" }, "ebitda": { "raw": 130541002752, "fmt": "130.54B", "longFmt": "130,541,002,752" }, "totalDebt": { "raw": 132480000000, "fmt": "132.48B", "longFmt": "132,480,000,000" }, "quickRatio": { "raw": 0.709, "fmt": "0.71" }, "currentRatio": { "raw": 0.879, "fmt": "0.88" }, "totalRevenue": { "raw": 394328014848, "fmt": "394.33B", "longFmt": "394,328,014,848" }, "debtToEquity": { "raw": 261.446, "fmt": "261.45" }, "revenuePerShare": { "raw": 24.317, "fmt": "24.32" }, "returnOnAssets": { "raw": 0.21214001, "fmt": "21.21%" }, "returnOnEquity": { "raw": 1.75459, "fmt": "175.46%" }, "grossProfits": { "raw": 170782000000, "fmt": "170.78B", "longFmt": "170,782,000,000" }, "freeCashflow": { "raw": 90215251968, "fmt": "90.22B", "longFmt": "90,215,251,968" }, "operatingCashflow": { "raw": 122151002112, "fmt": "122.15B", "longFmt": "122,151,002,112" }, "earningsGrowth": { "raw": 0.048, "fmt": "4.80%" }, "revenueGrowth": { "raw": 0.081, "fmt": "8.10%" }, "grossMargins": { "raw": 0.43310001, "fmt": "43.31%" }, "ebitdaMargins": { "raw": 0.33105, "fmt": "33.11%" }, "operatingMargins": { "raw": 0.30289, "fmt": "30.29%" }, "profitMargins": { "raw": 0.2531, "fmt": "25.31%" }, "financialCurrency": "USD" } } ], "error": null } } And here are the steps I made to get today's AAPL stock valuation: 1. Open the Shortcuts app 2. Click on the + sign to create a new shortcut 3. Add action Get contents of URL 4. Insert URL https://query1.finance.yahoo.com/v11/finance/quoteSummary/AAPL 5. Add action Get dictionary from input (which automatically gets the dictionary from the URL) 6. Add action Get dictionary value 7. In field key insert financialData 8. Add action Set variable 9. Set field Variable Name to financialDataVar 10. Add action Get dictionary value 11. In field key insert currentPrice 12. Add action Set variable 13. Set field Variable Name to currentPriceVar 14. Add action Get dictionary value 15. In field key insert raw 16. Add action Set variable 17. Set field Variable Name to rawVar 18. Add action Text 19. In the text field, add on under the other: financialDataVar, currentPriceVar, and rawVar 20. Add action Show alert 21. Instead of Do you want to continue? insert Text Clicking on the play button shows a pop-up window, but, unfortunately, without any content. My questions: 1. What steps do I have to do in order to get AAPL current stock price when I click on the play button? 2. Is there a way to ask the user to input their own ticker (say MSFT, or TSLA, etc.)?

So my sent texts have been deleted in my phone, although older messages remain. I have been sending texts samples to my yahoo email. It shows delivered but I can’t find them anywhere. I need those texts I sent. They were sent May 12,23. Anyway to retrieve them?

Through System Preferences > Internet Accounts I enter my Yahoo user ID and password and am getting error message, "unable to verify user id and password". I have enabled POP in my Yahoo account and reset password to ensure it's accurate.

I already follow some tips like, trying to find the extensions, but when I open it there's nothing in it. Also my search also already Google, so I'm confused right now.

A very creepy thing is happening. Every time I turn on Wifi, I see a connection by Catalina's Spotlight to Yahoo's Oath service: Spotlight 49345 me 17u IPv4 0x93dfe36e77e7a7ae 0t0 TCP 192.168.1.9:50976->67.195.228.57:https (ESTABLISHED) You can get a list of all connections in Terminal by typing: lsof +c 15 -n -i4TCP Does anyone know why Spotlight feels it needs to contact Yahoo, which is a company I don't want to have anything to do with?

I have run into a very odd issue with Mac's Mail application on Mojave. I friend of mine brought their laptop to me to take a look at because their Yahoo kept giving a timeout error on the 'imap.mail.yahoo.com' server for all ports. I have attempted various different solution walkthroughs with no luck. Yahoo will let me log in but will never download any of the emails and will eventually timeout with an IMAP connection error. Gmail will log me in, show the emails, and after about 3 minutes then IMAP servers timeout. I have checked the Connection Doctor which always states that the IMAP and STMP are always down for every email client (even though Gmail will allow for a login). The Connection Doctor states to check the internet connection, SSL/TLS, along with IMAP/STMP which I have tried with no luck. I attempted to remove the email account, restart, and re-add it which didn't solve the problem. So I attempted to delete all email accounts, remove the files listed here which still didn't solve the problem. So, I looked up how to factory reset the Mail application here , which didn't fix the problem either. I have tried changing the password which hasn't worked, I attempted to manually add the IMAP/STMP through the 'Other' account addition option, and I have even turned off the Firewall in an attempt to see if the ports were blocked for some reason. I have also logged the accounts in successfully into another Mac's Mail application, so I know the email accounts are fine. From what I can tell, the problem only exists in the Mail application on this Mac, but I don't know how to proceed forward now. Should I just tell them that they need to wipe the hard drive and re-load Mojave?

I have an iPhone 8 running the latest version of the yahoo mail app (4.37) In the app, I can either "Add another mailbox" or add another account thru "Manage Accounts" I initially added my account as a mailbox through the "Add another mailbox" link. It added my account/mailbox but didn't load all my emails. I then clicked "Manage Accounts" and added my account. Going thru "Manage Accounts" to add my account shows all my emails. Now, I want to delete the mailbox that was created. However, I can't seem to do so. I even went through "Manage Accounts" to delete the account, hoping that it would remove both the mailbox and account but it didn't. I followed the directions on Yahoo's website but those instructions didn't work I also tried adding my gmail account (as a test to delete it) thru the Yahoo mail app as a mailbox. I'm running into the same problem, I can't delete my gmail account/mailbox either. Hopefully someone can help me. Thanks. UPDATE: Deleting the app didn't work. The mailboxes are still here. I also tried going to my Iphone Settings->Yahoo Mail->Reset All Accounts. Also didn't work. Both my gmail account and that rogue yahoo account is still there.

My "late 2013" Mac Pro has a small internal SSD. Since Yahoo Mail and Google Mail have large storage on their servers, I don't see reasons for me to store mail messages on my local SSD. Can Apple Mail client be configured in a way that it only stores, say, 1 month of mail messages locally? Then it can fetch older mail messages on demand. Can I configure Apple Mail to do that?

This problem is not strictly an OSX problem, but I do not know a more suitable site. I belong to a club which uses yahoogroups.com for group mail. Recently every message I send to the group from my MacBook using Thunderbird fails with an error message Your email was not delivered due to a suspected guidelines violation. Please visit http://groups.yahoo.com/local/guidelines.html I might addd that that link fails with 404 page not found which doesn't inspire confidence, but I have no choice but to use Yahoo. Following up other links I found the following:- As a spam prevention measure, email messages sent to Yahoo Groups without SMTP-authentication often result in failed delivery, citing a “suspected guidelines violation.” This happens most frequently because you're attempting to send your message using an external email application (Microsoft Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird, etc.). You can avoid errors by enabling SMTP-authentication within your email client or email service. I have enabled SMTP-authentication in Thunderbird. I normally use Gmail as my SMTP server and have enabled SMTP-authentication in Thunderbird. I can send mail if I use my ISP as SMTP server, but I can only use this if I am directly connected to the ISP, not when travelling. Can anyone help with this problem?

Recently I've been getting my Yahoo mail notifications on my Apple Watch 2. I've looked everywhere I can think of on Yahoo and in my Apple settings to try to turn off. Any ideas? TIA!

I have recently activated two-step authentication for my Yahoo! e-mail account. I am now no longer able to use iOS Mail (on iPhone) or Apple Mail (on macOS) even though I have created third-party app passwords as recommended by Yahoo!. The error messages read "Invalid Password. Please try again." (in Settings | Mail | Accounts | ...@yahoo.com | Re-enter Password) and "Wrong Password. Try again." for iOS Mail and Apple Mail respectively. So how can I successfully configure Yahoo! third-party app passwords into iOS Mail and Apple Mail?

A user's iPad shows a message sent but the user did reply or respond to the email received, and did not send a reply back to sender. The user believes that someone accessed their Yahoo mail account, sent a reply, and signed sent message from the user's iPad. Can this be traced to find out who sent and accessed the user's Yahoo account? The user believes it was another family member, but would like to have visual proof. What steps can I take?

About a week ago, I was prompted to reset my Yahoo e-mail password. So I went to System Preferences -> Internet Accounts and double clicked on Ymail (the Yahoo e-mail account). I saw this screen: Followed shortly by this error message: Dismissing the error message does nothing to the first window, and eventually I have to cancel. Strangely, I noticed this same behavior has happened when I double-click on my Gmail account, despite the fact that the password still seems to be valid. I have seen this behavior both at my home and my local coffee shop. To my knowledge, I am not using a proxy. What can I do to solve this "Connection Insecure" problem when trying to manage a Gmail or Yahoo account?

I have been using the same yahoo mail account for about 9 years and all the emails I received were stored there perfectly. My 2009 Macbook stored every email as well. After setting up my email account on a new iPhone on the Mail app in 2014, the app only displayed emails which I received in the past month or so. My Macbook was still storing every single email.
I recently (2016) bought a new Macbook, and I noticed that only the emails which I can see on my iPhone are shown in the Mail app on the new Macbook. Checking my mail account via browser, I saw that every mail has been deleted except for the mails on my Phone and new Macbook. All the mails are still in the inbox of my old Macbook. In short: New iPhone deletes emails on the email server permanently so that my new Macbook cannot access them. Old Macbook still stores old emails (even those not on the server) in the inbox and just adds new emails to the old ones. My thoughts so far: I think that it must be something wrong either in the mail preferences on the iPhone or in the yahoo server. I don't know why the old Macbook still syncs with the server and keeps the old mails. What I have found so far: According to yahoo, they had similar cases in which apps accessing the mail account deleted old emails. And I have read that some Mac-users have experienced the same problem. Is there some way to stop the iPhone from deleting emails? Can I maybe re-insert my old mails from my old computer into the server? EDIT: The account uses IMAP.

Suddenly, my yahoo on iPhone won't let me respond to or delete any email? What have I done?

All Yahoo Calendar Entries appear on my iPhone / iPad a day earlier at 11pm-11pm. Problem continues on both iPhone5s, updated to iOS 10.1.1, and iPad. (I have both Yahoo and [paid] Yahoo Small Business Accounts.) Reinserting the correct day/time on iPhone lasts for seconds before the entry reverts to 11pm a day earlier. Fortunately, the Yahoo calendar remains OK, but it is not practical to attend client meetings with an iPhone/Yahoo incompatibility.

I switched to from Google to Yahoo as my default search engine for Safari. The search itself works fine, but then when I click an item on the search results page, it will open it in a new tab by default, rather than in the same tab that the results were in. I really prefer the latter behavior, because otherwise my browser window quickly fills up with search results tabs that I have no use for. I also don't see myself getting used to manually closing every single search result tab I open during the day. Hence, I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this and if there's perhaps a way to disable this "feature".

As of January 2015, I have a brand new Macbook Air running all fully updated Yosemite 10.10. I have been simply trying to configure the mac OS mail app to work with a simple, normal Yahoo Mail account. I add the account, it appears correctly in the Preferences settings as an internet account with "mail" checked... it creates entries in the left pane of the Mail window. BUT... nothing ever appears in the Inbox. AND, it DOES succeed in loading the many sub-folders within the mail account that I have configured in yahoo... AND, if I click on one of those, then after 20 seconds, it loads the folder's contents fine. AND, when I SEND mail, it sends out just fine. But nothing in the normal, plain Inbox! I have created it several times. Once I even tried to force it to allow me to "manually" create the inbox without it sniffing that it was a yahoo account and applying the official yahoo settings it knows. I did that by initially putting extra false characters in the yahoo domain name, and then setting up all the IMAP and SMTP stuff manually, and then changing the initial domain name entry to remove the wrong characters. But the results were exactly the same -- empty inbox. AND, when I have yahoo set up in the normal way (but not working right...) and I go to the Connection Doctor... it scans through and gives the green-light indicator saying that IMAP and SMTP are working fine! Any info, tips, or similar issues with Yahoo Mail and the mail.app in Yosemite? THANKS -- Eric

Since upgrading to Max OS X 10.7.2 and converting my MobileMe Account to iCloud I am receiving endless dialog boxes asking about syncing Yahoo Contacts. I cannot find settings *anywhere* to turn this off. I have to manually dismiss these frakking dialogues, which come up at the rate of about one an hour.

I use Spotlight to currency conversions several times a day. E.g. I type into Spotlight 100 EUR to GBP or 500 USD to CZK However I have just noticed that the exchange rate is stuck to that of 2-3 weeks ago For example, spotlight returns: 1 GBP = 1.34 EUR ---> should be ---> 1 GBP = 1.39 EUR 1 USD = 0.66 GBP ---> this is correct 1 EUR = 136.45 YEN ---> should be ---> 1 EUR = 132.19 YEN The strange thing is that Spotlight's data source is Yahoo, but checking directly the exchange rate with Yahoo the correct rate is returned. So it seems like there's an issue with Spotlight. Can anyone try it from their end? And if it's only an issue that affects me, any ideas of what to do to get it fixed?
