HT1296 I lost my sync with gmail contacts with Iphone on Itunes.  How I can do that again?

I want to know how I can sync my Iphone contacts with my google contacts again?

Hello Eltontsang,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you Google contacts are no longer syncing to your phone.
This article should help you get back up and running in that regard:
iOS: Syncing with Google Contacts
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4872
Follow these steps if you're using iOS 7 to sync your contacts with Google Contacts:
Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account > Google.
Enter the required information in the fields.
Make sure Contacts is on.
After you have completed the setup, open the Contacts app on your device. Syncing should begin automatically.
Additional Information
If you're using iOS 5 or iOS 6, follow these steps to set up contact syncing with Google Contacts:
Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account... > Other > Add CardDAV Account.
Enter the following information in the fields:
Server: google.com
User Name: your full Google email address
Password: your Google account password
Tap Next at the top of the screen to complete the setup.
After you have completed the setup, open the Contacts app on your device. Syncing should begin automatically.
Note: Make sure that SSL is enabled (under Advanced settings) and the port is 443.
You may also visit the Google website to learn more about syncing with Google contacts.
All the very best,

  • Syncing Google Gmail Contacts with Address Book and iPhone Contacts

    Can anyone recommend a good way to sync Google Gmail Contacts with the Address Book on the Mac and with Contacts on the iPhone?
    I tried using ABGMerge, but could not get it to work so and am looking for other options. Thanks.

    The Plaxo 3 non-pubic beta application currently supports only Mozilla and FireFox 1.5 and Internet Explorer 6. Safari support, and support for updated OS X thrid-party browsers, has not yet been released. To say that there are some anomalies and visual artifacts with Safari 2, would be an understatement. But, then, I often find this to be the case with beta—particularly, pre-public beta, software.
    The current release—build 356—supports these 'sync points:'
    • Mac OS X through a System Preferences pane
    • AOL and AIM
    • LinkedIn
    • mobile access
    • MSN and WIndows Live
    • Outlook
    • Outlook Express
    • Windows Mail
    • Yahoo
    It does not yet support Google. Or, not yet reliably or completely. The little 'hippo' that pops up periodically in the beta says, "Google Calendar Sync has been temporarily disabled. We are working diligently to resolve the problem. Sorry for the inconvenience."
    The verdict at the moment: contact synchronization performs as it always has with Plaxo. Calendar synchronization is clearly not yet ready for prime-time, even to the Plaxo 3 web interface itself.

  • How do I sync my gmail contacts with the contacts already on my iPhone?

    I just bought an iPhone 5c and the dealer manually transferred all of my (gmail) contacts from my Samsung Galaxy.  Now the contacts on my iPhone are no longer synced with my gmail account.  If I make changes to a contact on my iPhone, that change does not show up on my laptop when I am logged into my gmail account.
    Can I fix this by turning "on" the "Contacts" button under Settings > mail, contacts, calendars > Gmail > contacts > on?
    When I attempt this it asks me what I want to do with the existing contacts on my phone.  What do I want to do here?  If I say leave the contacts on my phone will the contacts merge or will I end up with duplicates?

    You must have Contacts syncing on in your Gmail account settings on the iPhone.
    As to the contacts already existing in your phone, you can either merge them with those in the Gmail server or delete them whatever suits you best.

  • Duplicated contact when I synced with gmail contact and iCloud. How can I do?

    Duplicated contact when I synced with gmail contact and iCloud. How can I do?

    On your iOS device tap Settings > iCloud. Turn Contacts off.
    Reset the device. Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    Now tap Settings > iCloud. Turn Contacts back on.

  • Can't sync my local contact with gmail, help please.

    Hi all,
    I originally had my contact on BB Bold, then when i bought Z10 i transferred the contact using bb Link, now i have another phone (Samsung Galaxy S4) and i want my contact to by synced between both using gmail, so i configured my gmail on both devices, the configuration is 100% correct because in Z10 if i open Contacts then select Gmail category, and create a new contact i find it after a while in my Samsung,
    but the problem is all my contacts available in the (All) which i believe its saved locally
    Best Regards,
    Alaa Bayer.

    Thanks alot elessar,
    The problem that i moved my contact from my bold to Z10 using Link, and my contacts was saved localy in the Bold and the same in Z10, so i never used Gmail or so what ever to sync the contacts.
    but now to transfer my contacts from Z10 to Samsung Galaxy S4 i wanted to sync these local contacts with Gmail, but when i configured Gmail on Z10 it creates like a different container which is ofcourse empty, so if i go to All, i see my contacts, but if i go to Gmail contacts i have nothing.
    if i create a new contact in Gmail container it copied immidetly to the Samsung so sync and configurations is OK.
    So my problem  to move the contacts on my Z10 from Local container to Gmail container.
    actully after alooooot of searches i found a solution and it worked perfectly, i installed on my Z10 a software name (IntouchApp) which can see the local container on Z10 and sync them to IntouchApp servers then install the same softwar in my Galaxy and sync the contacts, then on the galaxy i exported the contacts to SD Card, then import it to Gmail, and finally i got my contacts on Gmail.
    i don't know why Blackberry completly separate the contacts as containers and there is no option to transfer from one to another.
    in any way i just sold out my Z10 yesterday and bye bye blackberry for every.

  • I use macbook and lion os. I want to sync gmail contact with address book. For this i goto preference in address book and select "sync with google". I put my gmail details. However, the sync does not happen. Please help.

    You should have signed in with that address in the first place, but there is a workaround: go to System preferences>Mail, Contacts@ Calendars and add your @me.com address as an account there.

  • Sync between MacBookPro and iPhone 3G does not sync properly.  Calendars duplicate events but worse is that only contacts from Address book from letter T onwards sync.  Any contacts on iPhone which are not on Mac are lost during sync.

    Solutions?

    No, I never really found an easy solution.  I believe it is an issue with some corruption in the iTunes database on the specific device.  In my case, both my iPad and iPhone now show duplicate stream songs if viewed through iTunes on my Mac, but they show different songs.  A couple years ago I had a similar issue on my iPhone, and Apple support suggested I back up the phone, completely reset it, and then restore it from the backup.  It did work, so I imagine it would probably work for my current issues with the iPhone and iPad.  But resetting and restoring an iPad or iPhone always makes me a little nervous that something will get lost.  When I did reset/restore the iPhone, I do have to say, the restore process was 100% perfect and I did not lose any data at all even though Apple support said I might.  If you try to go that route, I would suggest backing the device up both to a computer through iTunes, and to the iCloud so that you have a double backup.
    None of this really resolves the issue with how the iTunes databases are becoming corrupted on the apple devices though, so it is very likely to happen again until they fix it.  I have been unable to determine if there were any specific actions or conditions which caused the corruption to happen in the first place.
    Might be worth another call to Apple support, or dropping in the local Apple store if you have one near by.

  • Question about synching gmail contacts with address book

    Hi,
    I recently discovered that it is possible to synch gmail contacts with apple addressbook. I also found out this feature only works if you have an iphone or an ipod touch. Unfortunatly, I don't have either. I then discovered there was a work around for this:
    http://lifehacker.com/393855/enable-google-contact-sync-without-an-iphoneipod-to uch
    *My question is*..............
    I'm planning on getting an iphone in half a year and if i mess with these settings will i have to change them back to be able to synch my iphone? or will my iphone be able to synch with the way the new settings are anyway?
    Thanks

    Does your question have anything remotely to do with iWeb 09? This is an iWeb 09 forum - did you not look where you were posting?
    No - so it is not relevant to this forum. Please post in somewhere that is more relevant, such as the iPhone forum or the iPad forum.

    On his phone, sign in Settings>iCloud and enable Mail so that he can have his own email address. Then add your account in Settings>Mail, Contacts & Calendars and enable Contacts and Calendars. They will then appear on his phone alongside any syncing he has set up. This will keep your emails separate, or you can add Mail as well so that you can both access that if you want. You can add his account in the same way on your phone and enable any data types you want to sync.

    I am not able to sync my outlook contacts with my iphone (both ways) noting that the calendar and notes are suncing perfectly (both ways)?

    You cannot sync Outlook 2011 directly with an iPhone, but if you go to the Tools menu and choose Sync Services, you can have Outlook sync with iCal and Address Book, which will then sync with the iPhone. And if your business is using Microsoft Exchange, you can set the iPhone up to communicate and sync directly with the Exchange server.
    Regards.

  • How can I sync my pc contacts with my ipad and iphone?

    How can I sync my pc contacts with my ipad and iphone?

    Do you normally sync via iTunes and your computer? If so, there's an option in iTunes - that you see as you plug each device in - to sync contacts. If you don't normally sync via iTunes you can download and use the iCloud control panel and use that to sync your contacts.
