Syncing contacts with Google Contacts causes duplicates

I don't use MobileMe, I just sync with my Google contacts, however it puts them in my iPod Touch twice, I tried removing one of them for each contact, it ended up wiping out my google contacts completely. I attempted to sync again hoping it would put the contacts back from the iPod, but it wont.
So my main question is, is there a way to fix the duplication issue please, also is there a way to get the contacts on the iPod back into google contacts, short of entering them all manually, not a prospect I relish.

I have the same problem. It seems like itunes (on windows) has a problem to sync the google contacts (address book) with my iphone. The first time i tried, it worked (all contacts from Google contacts were transferred to my iphone) but the next time nothing happened, nothing changed in the iphone contacts neither in the Google contacts (updates were made in both the iphone and goggle contacts). Any idea anyone?

Its a easy fix,it will take too much time to type out all of the steps,
Check your email account. see if they are their, You can then import them on your DAV card, The best thing to is add them to icoud then they will be safe.
Apple support can talk you through it.

Sync issues with Google Calendar and e-mail alerts

Hello,
I'm experiencing a lot of problems with iCal while I'm trying to sync it with Google Calendar. I have correctly inserted my Google account information into iCal, but:
when I create a new event and I disable the e-mail alert and save it, it automatically turns on the e-mail alert! Is there a way to disable by default all alerts? I have already tried to go to Settings - Advanced and select “Disable all alerts” with no result;
all the events I create into iCal are correctly synced with Google Calendar and I can correctly read them on the web app, but in my android device they don't have the time information (they are listed as all-day events)

GooSync would do the trick - http://www.goosync.com/
Plz be aware that Goosync nor Google Contacts supports all field from your phone so it is not an 100% backup unfortunately

Have thunderbolt and need to sync ical with google calendar in order to use. Any suggestions?

Have a thunderbolt and MacBook. Need to sync ical with google calendar as thunderbolt supports google calendar. Any suggestions?

I think we may be talking about two different things. Thunderbolt is the new two way display port on Mac Book Pros and Apple displays.
Thunderbolt (originally codenamed Light Peak) is an interface for connecting peripheral devices to a computer via an expansion bus. Thunderbolt was developed by Intel and brought to market with technical collaboration from Apple Inc. It was introduced commercially on Apple's updated MacBook Pro lineup on February 24, 2011.
Thunderbolt combines PCI Express and DisplayPort into a serial data interface. A single Thunderbolt port supports hubs as well as a daisy chain of up to seven Thunderbolt devices; up to two of these devices may be high-resolution displays using DisplayPort. You can move data to and from peripherals up to 20 times faster than with USB 2.0 and up to 12 times faster than with FireWire 800.

Sync Pre with Google "My Contacts" only

Google provides for syncing with either "My Contacts" or "All Contacts". Unfortunately, the Pre only syncs with "All Contacts". This is really bad because Google saves everyone you send an email to in the All Contacts list. So this is not useful at all to have 500 contacts stored on my Pre. I want to be able to sync with "My Contacts" only...just as can be done on the iPhone. Can this be done? If not, Palm, please, please, please, provide an update that allows us to sync only with "My Contacts".
Thank you.
P.S. It kind of sucks that Palm does not have a customer support email address...at least not easily found.
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

You might need to check with your Exchange administrator to have them check the connection between your device and the Exchange server. He should be able to test your connection between the two devices. If it seems to be working alright, you can always try resetting your network settings to see if that helps.

Sync problem with Google Contacts

My google contacts are not syncing since late Feb. 2014. I am now running KitKat and still contacts aren't syncing. Calendar and all other Gmail items are syncing well. Have tried hard reset, removed and reinstalled Gmail account. Turned off sync and restarted sync. Tried with pulling battery and restarting all the previous. Nothing seems to work. HELP!?!?!?!

Yes, on my desktop, my Google Contacts are perfect when viewing in my browser. Also, I have no problem exporting all my contacts to my desktop as a Google "cvs" file. However, when I sent the cvs file to my Samsung S4, the contacts app would not allow it to be imported. Apparently on the S4 the format is not acceptable.
The sync function on my S4 is working for all Google features (like Gmail and Calendar as well as all else) except for syncing contacts. I've removed the Goggle account and re-installed it. I've unchecked sync, cleared cache and data and just about anything any of the techies have proposed and then re-checked sync for contacts and I have been getting the same error message "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly." Same message since late February of this year.
I have spent in excess of 6 hours speaking with various Verizon tech support people and I have as well as with Google Android support. Google tells me that they see no problems and it's a Verizon issue. Meanwhile Verizon tells me the phone is working fine and it's a Google hiccup and I should have Google fix it. Seems nobody is taking responsibility.
I have a tough time understanding how Verizon can continue to charge me for a service which they are not providing. I'm hurt being their long time customer and they seem not to care. Quite a disappointment. My renewal is in another 11 months and I'm stuck with a defective product for which nobody is taking responsibility!

SYNC CONTACTS - REMOVE DUPLICATES

I have the latest version of OVI on my PC which I use to SYNC CONTACTS. Problem is it DUPLICATES the contacts on my NOKIA 5230 even if I DELETE all the contacts listed on the PC OVI list. My understanding of SYNCing is that the PC and the NOKIA should have the same information. Either the SYNC is not working or there is a setting somewhere that needs to be changed? MY NOKIA is showing over 500 contacts when it should be half. Manual deletions to remove all the duplicates is a long job and the SYNC process always returns it back to over 500.
I have set my NIKA to save all contact to the Phone Memory (not the SIM). Any ideas of to avoid and remove the DUPLICATES

Hey,
U hav 2 b too careful if u wanna use 3 way sync, change in 1 place will affect all ur contacts.
My few suggestions. Always do hav a backup of your phone contents. Regular backup-ing of your phone contents r always recommended.
Open Nokia Ovi Suite, log in ur ovi(nokia) account.
Nokia Ovi Suite > Tools > Options > Contacts > Sync your Nokia account in Ovi.com
(Above will be enabled if and only if u hav logged in ur Sign into Ovi)
Once sync is successful, ur contacts will get updated on your phone, Nokia Ovi Suite and on ur Ovi.com as well
3 way = Phone, PC and Ovi.com(Cloud)
Again, i recommend u 2 take a backup of ur contacts always, Sync conflict or 4 any reason, if ur contacts get damaged, same will b reflcting on all 3 places.

Syncing contacts causes sync to hang

My phone works fine, and sync works fine... as long as I don't sync contacts. If I check the box to sync contacts, the sync stops right there forever - an eternal "Sync in Progress." If I uncheck the option to sync contacts, no problem.
Upgraded this week to Leopard, iTunes 7.5, and iPhone 1.1.2 - problem has arisen since doing the upgrades.

Try creating a group and put a few contacts in that group.
If that group sync ok, ad a few more contacts.
Keep adding a few contacts until you start getting the same issue.
If the sync hangs, then you know that the last contact or contacts are what is causing the issue.
Hope this helps.

Syncing issues with google ( I think )

I have a MobileMe subscription, and wanted to have my address book synced on my devices and my Google account. This where everything went wrong. My consolidated contacts on my laptop went from around 900 to over 20k. and then my issues went extra crazy when every address book on my Laptops and iOS devices had different number of contacts and lots of duplicates.
I tried to disable syncing with google , but it still syncs with it (it shows when there is a conflict).
I need help with this.

iSync (this forum) is only for syncing Contacts & Calendars to a non-Apple mobile phone via a local USB or Bluetooth connection. Neither MobileMe or Google use iSync.
I'd suggest asking in the Address Book forum, or the MobileMe forum.

Sync notes with google docs

Possible?
I uses notes on my IPAD and MBA. If it could sync with googles docs it would be perfect

I have the same message as well but mine appeared after I did a software upgrade and it failed then I had to manually download the last installed software on my phone as iTunes couldnt restore my phone. Since this happened my iTunes has also said this "bundle" thing and I havent been game enough to sync any notes, contacts or calendars. I dont know why its there and how to get rid of it. I dont know if its been caused by a virus etc on either my phone or iTunes, does any one know what the source of this is? I can only assume that doing a full delete of iTunes from my computer may fix the problem, but then if I do this and it does work does that mean that I lose all of the info on my phone as well as whats in iTunes the next time I sync?? I need help as my work calendars are no longer on my phone.

Syncing Blackberry with Google instead of Outlook

Is anyone Syncing their Blackberry with Google instead of Outlook? Does it work good? I'm so tired of outlook. The program is just too huge and rediculous.
Thanks

With the mobile app from google "Google sync" you can sync your Google calendar/contacts. It is available from Google. Keep in my that it is a beta with all that beta implies.

How can I sync reminders with Google ?

OSX Mountain Lion and iOS experts : how can I sync Reminders on my iPhone with Google (Tasks?) ?
In Mountain Lion : I can choose Google as the Reminder account, although nothing is sync'ing.
And in iOS, it's even worse : I can't even choose Google for reminders (only iCloud).
So why would I not use iCloud then on both devices (desktop and iOS)? Well, because I'd like to use Google as the calendar (for sharing purposes with non-iCloud users) and apparantly, it's not possible to link reminders to iCloud without also linking your calendar to iCloud?! (It's one single item in Mountain Lion in the iCloud settings : "Calenders & Reminders").
Am I missing something?
Many thanks,
Kris

Cheers for that BikeMystery. So yeah, if you mainly use Google Services then the only way to get Reminders and Notes syncing between OSX ML and your iOS deviceis to activate Notes and Reminders under iCloud and create an @me address and an iCloud calendar. That's a bit pants really.
If you do have an Exchange or Yahoo! account set up in Mail, Contacts & Calendars does that allow Notes & Reminders to sync with iOS without iCloud?

Sync AddressBook with Google (separate account)

i would like to get my google contacts (these are ALL email based) synced with Address Book (these are ALL phone based) but I don't want to mix up the email addresses with the phone numbers and vice versa.
someone please tell me i can do this...
thanks.

You can only sync with the iCloud account which was entered first into your preferences. You won't be able to do what you want with iCloud. If you're not in the habit of frequently changing contacts one of you could expord your contacts as a vCard and the other could import that into their Address Book.
In Address Book on your Mac, click one contact in the 'All' list then hit command-a to select all. From the File menu choose Export>vCard. Copy it to the other Mac.
On the other Mac choose Import from the File menu and select the vCard.
You might be able to sync your contacts with Google (free account) instead of iCloud: I don't know how reliable this is.

Sync Calendar with Google but Reminders with iCloud

I haven't upgraded to Mountain Lion yet, but I'm hoping someone can give me a good answer on this.
Currently I have an iPhone 4S (latest iOS) and a MacBook Pro running 10.7 / Lion (latest updates).
I sync Reminders via iCloud but not the Calendar... I still sync the Calendar with Google Calendar because I prefer it.
I want to carry on doing this in Mountain Lion but having read reviews and seen screenshots like this one it seems as though Calendars and Reminders are now part of the the same switch / toggle and therefore have to be done the same way.
Can anyone tell me if you can sync Reminders and Calendars independently in Mountain Lion?
Thanks

Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendar>Calendar
BUT Don't forget to Sync All Events. This seemed to fix the syncing of missing items. Kinda found it by looking at all the options. Also remember that Microsoft ActiveSynce (Exchange) is no longer supported for free by Google.

How do i sync ical with google calendar, in that direction

i have google cal and ical syncset up but it was set up by google telling what to enter into ical. this made my other calendars, all the google calendars i have other than the main one, into "delegates" on ical.
whats the reason or process for this? cant they just been normal calendars on ical?
the reason i ask is that i have a menu pull down app which seems to only read "normal" calendars and not delegated calendars...
can i sync ical to google cal but enter details into ical to sync with google rather than the other way round?

So if I make calendar entry in my iphone it syncs to my mac ical but not icloud.
If everything is set to use iCloud then it's impossible for data to get from the iPhone to the mac but not iCloud, since all the data actually resides on iCloud and is read from there by devices. It rather sounds as if you have some syncing going on iTunes. If you look at the calendar listing on your Mac and Phone they must be listed under iCloud, not 'On My Mac/iPhone' - is that the case?

Strange problem when syncing events with Google Ca...

I'm trying to sync all my calendar events with Google Calendar. Everything works perfectly if I add or update events with my N9. All the changes and new events are synced to Google Calendar so that they are visible in web browser.
But if I make changes or create new events with my computer (with web browser) those events are not visible in N9!!! When I tap "Syncronize" N9 show's how many events were added or updated, but they are not visible in the calendar.
Everything worked before, but now the last visible event in the calendar (made with computer) is on October 25.
I've tried set this account up with Mail for Exchange and CalDAV. Same problem with both of them...
Any ideas why one account works, but another does not with same kind of settings!?
EDIT:
I just found this:
