To synchronize your Yahoo Calendar to your Google Calendar, you first need to export your Yahoo Calendar events to your computer's hard drive then import that calendar file into your Google Calendar. The majority of events will synchronize properly, though you must manually edit any events that recur indefinitely after importing them into Google Calendar.

Calendar Details

Any indefinitely recurring events in your Yahoo calendar will be saved as individual, non-recurring events, when you import them into your Google calendar. You must manually update these in Google Calendar to be recurring events. Also, to combine several Yahoo calendars into a single Google calendar, export each Yahoo calendar to separate files and then import each file into the same Google calendar.
