Address Book doesn't have "sync with Google contacts" any more...!!!!!

Hi Guys
Hoping someone can help...
I've updated to 10.0.8, and I just have a look at the options under Address Book. There are still options to sync contacts with MobileMe, and Yahoo (and one other, which I can't remember as I'm not at my Mac), but the last one, "sync with Google contacts", has disappeared!
Has anyone else noticed if that has gone? Have Apple decided not to partner with Google any more?
Or does my Address Book just have some kind of bug?
Cheers,
Mike

Sorry... correction... 10.5.8, obviously!!

Address Book Sync with Google Contacts across computers (instead of iCloud with Lion)?

I am trying to get ready for the port to iCloud and i am going to do this while still on Snow Leopard per Roger Wilmut's fantastic documentation. It appear to me I will simply lose Bookmark Sync (until I move to Mountail Lion) which is a small(ish) price to pay to not have to deal with an upgrade at the moment.
The question I am hoping to answer is if it will be possible to SYNC MY CONTACTS across my devices (MacBookPro, MacPro and iPhone) using the Sync with Google Contacts Option in Address Book Preferences.
Does anyone know if checking this option will put these contacts on both of my Machines and on my iPhone?
ALSO, does anyone know if it is possible to put the ADDRESS BOOK CONTACTS in one folder and the GOOGLE CONTACTS in another folder so they don't all get mixed up together?
TIA

I can't even get manual Google syncing to work with iCloud enabled. Without iCloud, everything works fine.

Syncing with Google Contacts doesn't work anymore

Hey everyone,
my iPhone 3g recently stopped syncing with Google Contacts (I can't exactly say since when, but approximately since one week). Before, it worked perfectly fine for the roundabout 2 months i have my iPhone now. iTunes is up to date, as is my iPhone software. Also, i didn't change my Google Password or anything. iTunes also - while syncing my iPhone - tells me for a few seconds it's syncing, but nothing seems to happen. What shall i do?

This probably means that you are using iWeb 08 or iWeb 2 and you are correct that this will not run on the latest software, however iWeb 09 or 3 will, so if you want it to work, you will have to purchase iWeb 09, contained in either iLife 11 or iLife 09 via Amazon.
No, of course you won't find iWeb for sale in the App store because as this thread has been telling you, both it and MobileMe have not existed for at least that last 2 years and Apple withdrew support for iWeb sometime ago along with MobileMe, which has now become iCloud.
If you want iWeb 09, you will have to purchase it from Amazon - this is the only way that you can get it, but now might be a good time to move on and use some software that is both sold and supported such as EverWeb. Take a look at it. It is designed to be like iWeb but you can do a lot more.

Why are my contacts on ipad not syncing with google contacts?

I am new to apple. I cannot populate the Contacts
app on my iPad2. I see no options to sync with google contacts. Please advise. Thanks!

Thanks Meg, this works, at least in part. Now the Contacts app populated, but only with 99 contacts, hardly all of them. Do you know how to get all my Google contacts to sync?
Also, should I delete the Gmail account I had previously set up on the iPad now that I have set up as an Exchange account?

Syncing with Google contacts does not bring over all contact info

Syncing with Google contacts does not bring in phone numbers after the first four phones. Known issue?

Yes it is a known issue.

Address Book no longer syncs with google contacts

After my switch to Lion, I'm noticing that my address book no longer syncs with my google contacts??
After I update my contacts in address book, it doesn't show up on google contacts and vice versa.
Is anyone else exprienceing this?

¡¡¡Ok, Something worked for me!!!
I have my address book empty, and then this is what I did:
1- Copy Address book app to downloads (or other folder) just to back it up
2- Install AppCleaner
3- Drag and Drop address book ap into app cleaner, make sure that it references to several files (all .plist files etc.) If there are no external references then try to drag and drop your backup, do it until you see the rest of references (uncheck address book widget)
4- After press clean in AppCleaner, it will delete everything.
5- Put back your address book app backup into your applications folder
6- Open it and if your are lucky you will see all the contacts again, they were like hidden....
Then I deleted all the contacts again and set up google account in preferences again, after that it syncs fine!!!
Good Luck!

Address Book sync with Google Contacts problem

After creating a Google Apps account for my new domain, I've configured my Address Book application on my Mac-book Air to sync with Google. I created a contact on the Mac-Book and after a sync I saw it in Google's web client. I created a contact on Google's web client and after a sync it appeared in in Address Book.
After two weeks, the sync stopped working. I didn't changed nothing on the computer. Suddenly I noticed that the contacts sync doesn't work anymore.
iCal and Mail are still working great. the problem is only with Address Book.
I searched Google Help. I reset the Sync Services, soft and hard, still not working. I'm not using iCloud or any other sync.
Do you have any idea?

can anyone answer this?
at some point, I remember being able to do this. 10.5.x maybe? With 10.6 . . . .
I do recall, however, that I stopped doing it because the sync went haywire. I did it the other way around: I have all my contacts in Address Book, so I exported them and uploaded the vCards to Gmail, after deleting all Gmail contacts. That's not such a great option. Surely this is well-automated by now?

Address book won't syncronize (automatically) with Google

I recently noticed there was a synchronize with Google contacts on address book, so I set it up, logged in okay, and closed the preferences window.
then nothing happened. It doesn't sync unless I have the sync logo in the menubar and click 'Sync now'.
Google also offers exchange for contacts and calendars, would this work on address book or is that unnecessary?
Either way: why isn't it working? cheers!

Thanks for a quick response. I don't see a way to print the address and phone number on a mailing label either. Some people still like their paper address books and I thought printing labels would make it a lot easier to read and I could just print labels for Christmas cards - instead of handwriting them. nice thought, I guess.
(note to apple: please fix in your next update)

Any ideas why my address book is out of sync with iCloud

I migrated my mobile me to icloud a few days ago. I started with the website, verified that my iOS versions were correct on my iPhone and iPad. Then I turned the service on for my mac, iphone and ipad. The only choice I had was to merge my contacts with icloud, so I accepte it. I have 5,815 contacts. My address book backup is 367MB. Ever since I turned this on, they have been out of sync. iCloud shows 2,355 contacts and my iphone is not update. Also, it took "my card" and seemed to combine it with another business entry I had.
Bottom line, sync is not working and my Mac goes to 100% CPU ever 8 minutes. My system drops to a crawl and I have to wait for it to finish. iCal, Mail and Address book are consuming all the CPU as it seems to be trying to sync. But nothing ever works.
This is very similar to what happened when I turned on MobileMe sync. It completely screwed up my address book and caused a $1200 phone bill while I was traveling in Europe because it would erase my entire address book and try to sync it over and over again.
I just turned off the iclould sync for address book my mac so I could work on my laptop without the CPU going to 100%.
Any ideas?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
It sounds as though you may have exceeded some of the limits of Address Book in iCloud.
Total number of contact cards: 25,000
Maximum size of a contact card: 256 KBMaximum size of a contact photo: 224 KB
Maximum size of a contact group: 256 KB
Maximum size of all contact cards:
Card text: 24 MB
Card photos: 100 MB
Supported file types for a contact photo: JPEG, JPG, BMP, PNG, GIF

Z10 does not sync with Google contacts

I've had my Z10 for about a week and am trying to set it up. I am trying, and failing, to replace an Android device with this phone. I used the easy setup for "Email, calendar, and contacts" to link the phone to my gmail/google account. That account has two-step verification enabled and the setup program duly collected the verification code. All three accounts got set up and populated with the latest from google.
But ..... if I make a change via a web browser on my PC (an up-to-date Arch Linux system), those changes simply don't get picked up by the phone, even with the sync interval set to 5 minutes. This is not a matter of not waiting long enough. It's a matter of sync not working. The phone does pick up new email messages arriving and new calendar entries.
If I try to change the sync interval, after the 'save', I'm told that my login credentials were not correct. After one of those episodes, I deleted the 'contact' account and added a new one, this time using the caldev approach under 'advanced settings'. This behaves the same way (except that it requires an application-specific password from Google, rather than honoring the fact that I'd already supplied a valid two-step code). Contacts get loaded as part of the account setup, but no further sync-ing happens.
I've wasted almost an entire day on this. Googling reveals plenty of other people complaining of the same problem and over a two-year time period. You would think that Blackberry, now the 90-pound weakling in the mobile hardware business, would pay careful attention to making their software work correctly with the largest purveyor of email, calendar and contacts. But they haven't.
It's too bad, because this system has a lot to recommend it (I am a retired computer professional and spent almost 50 years of my life developing software and managing large and small software projects and I am confident that I know good stuff when I see it, and much of this system *is* good). But my primary requirement is that the phone be a good organizational tool and if it ignores changes to my contacts, it's useless to me and I will return it and stick with the less elegant, but more functional Android, unless someone has a bright idea for how to fix this.

Well, I tried a workaround: use Link to sync the phone to Outlook. I just want a way to edit contacts with a computer and sync them with the phone, and very occasionally go the other way when circumstances require. You know, like we did with Palms 20 years ago?
What I found was that sync-ing contacts 1 way from device to computer produced no contacts in Outlook. Just utterly frustrated, I called the place where I bought it to try to get some help, they were clueless (and trying to call Blackberry is a waste of time; they won't talk to you unless you have a paid support contract), and so I asked for and got an RMA # and return label.
But still thinking about this, I poked around in the phone and noticed the BBLink accounts for calendar and contacts and thought "can it be that this system, which provides a nicety like Hub, which gives you an integrated, chronological view of *all* your communications -- calls, texts, emails, etc. -- be only sync-ing the BBLink accounts, not the Google accounts?". This is correct, difficult as it is to believe. So I exported my contacts from Google, imported them to Outlook, and did a 1-way sync from the computer to the device, and, mirabile dictu, the contacts showed up in the phone. After about an hour and half. Further synchronizations, done after some cleanup of my contacts were also very slow, though not this slow, since few contacts were actually being transferred in these incremental synchs.
Whoever wrote the synchronization part of Link clearly doesn't understand the concept of complexity of algorithms. (S)he also clearly didn't test this code on a contact data set of any significant size. I have about 1800 contacts. I had about the same number many years ago when I had a Palm that would sync an order of magnitude faster than this Blackberry setup and do so on much slower hardware with a slower communications channel (a serial port).
I also found that two-way synchronization produced some very odd messages, such as telling me that essentially all the contacts were in conflict. I abandoned the idea very quickly of ever trying a two-way sync (again, standard practice with Palms).
Link is clearly a crock, but I think I've coerced it into doing what I need. I have until the end of January to decide whether to keep the Z10, and as I said in my original post, there's a lot I like about this phone. So I will use that time to see if I really have found a workaround for this ridiculous synchronization weak spot.
Hello,
I`m glad you figured out a way to do what you need to do. I have red before some other people having issues with BB Link and Outlook. I never used Outlook - I prefer Google account, which for me has worked very well, regardless what phone I use. It is true, it can take some time to sync in everything but for me it never took days as others have said.
However, once the huge amount of data is synched to your phone, you don`t need to worry about further time consuming synching.
Are you saying that synching with Google *contacts* works for you? In the sense that after you have the phone loaded up with all your Google contacts, if you make a change to the contacts with a web browser that the change appears in the phone? And vice-versa? Neither of those cases work for me. One wrinkle: I use two-step verification on my Google account. Do you? I am very suspicious that two-step verification is the cause of my issue with contacts synchronization (though, as I said in my original post, email and calendar synch do work).

Selecting contacts by group when syncing with Google contacts

I sync my iPhone with Google contacts, however, ALL contacts are sync'd. I have many groups that I don't want sync'd, such as "people who appear in my Picasa photos that I don't have/want contact information, like Bob's friend Pete". I have to suffer with these insane entries in Google contacts, but I would like to exclude them when syncing with my iPhone.
Is there any way to do that?
Is there any way to make such a request to Apple?
Thanks

I can't help but feel this should probably be on an iphone forum, not itunes.
If you want to address people who work for Apple you should provide feedback through their feedback sites which you can find under "contact" at the bottom of the page. Pretty much the only people who respond these forums are other Apple product users like yourself, sharing their experience.

Address book sync with google contacts - first names and last names flipped

Hi,
I am trying to sync my mac address book with my contacts in google/gmail and I have a strange issue. All my contacts written in english alphabet is syncing correctly, but when I have names in Korean characters, the last name and first name gets flipped. Without fail. All other fields seem to synch correctly, but the first name is mapped to the last name field, and vice versa. I have recently upgraded to OS X Lion on an iMac.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Address Book sync with google contacts *without* iPhone?

Hi
I have all my contacts in google, but when I set this up in address book, although it says it will synch with google, it never does. I have read that this needs an iphone to work - I don't have an iphone, so how do I set up 2 way sync between google and address book, without buying mobileme or some such tool...
