Adding Gmail contacts to MobileMe iChat

Hi,
I hope I've posted this in the right part of the forum. I'm afraid I need some help again.
I use MobileMe and iChat together. And that works great to chat with my friends that also use MobileMe iChat. But how can I talk to those of my friends that use the Gmail option in iChat?
Thank you for your help. I really appreciate it.

You need to use a free Google or Gmail account. Google Talk uses different servers from MobileMe; they aren't interoperable.

Gmail contacts with ovi chat

I successfully added gmail contacts to ovi chat at past. They got message on gmail that I want to chat with them, all fine with it. Now when I want to add some more people with gmail addresses, I get message: error: unable to add _________, Did this service stop working or what? My phone is X3-02 and I'm not talking about gmail chat, but adding gmail contacts to ovi chat, which used to work ok and now suddenly it does not. Why so???

Adding Gmail to Mail without setting up Contacts

hi everyone-
Is there a way to set up my gmail account in Mail without adding my gmail contacts?
I would like to start using Mail to access my Gmail account without adding my Gmail contacts. My gmail has 5,000 random contacts, and I don’t want to bring that mess on to my mac. I’m unable to uncheck contacts and calendar because it’s gray’d out. (see screenshot).
Using OS- 10.8.2

How do I disconnect from MS Exchange and Gmail Contacts?

When I got my iPhone 3GS (a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...) I set it up to sync its address book (Contacts) to my Gmail contact list using some instructions I found which used "Microsoft Exchange Server". Worked pretty well so I then linked my wife's iPhone Contacts to *my* Gmail list so we would have the same list of addresses. Seemed to work. Over time, however, the list ballooned and various useless addresses got added (Gmail would add those people to whom I simply had replied on an email - I have fixed that!)
Now, there is iCloud and my wife and I have shiny new iPhone 5 phones. I hope to "clean up" my current list of addresses and then use that as my new starting point for contacts/addresses. I would like to disconnect from Gmail's contact list and link the Address Book on my iMac and the two iPhones to use the same list of contacts - and I presume that using iCloud for the Mac/iPhones would make the most sense. I still want to be able to use Gmail - but I don't want its contact list clogging *my* iPhone/iMac address book list.
I transferred my old iPhone settings to my new iPhone. When I connect my iPhone to iTunes and go to the "Info" page, the "Sync Contacts" box is unchecked but there is a statement "Your contacts are being synced with Microsoft Exchange over the air. You c..." Despite my clicking various boxes, I can't get the rest of the message nor can I figure out how to stop this MS Exchange syncing!! Here is a screen shot:
I have looked on my iPhone and can't find any reference to starting/stopping MS Exchange syncing. I can't seem to find anywhere on my Mac that will let me change the setting either.
I would appreciate any help with this or suggestions on a better way of linking our two iPhones and my Mac to use the same contact list - and to maintain control over it, specifically how to keep it separate from Gmail contacts.
Thanks for your help.
David

Not possible.
When turning over the air syncing for contact info off with an Exchange or MobileMe account, or when deleting the account from the iPhone, contact info will be removed from the iPhone.
You need to export the contact info from the Exchange server in a format that is supported for importing by the Address Book on your Mac.

2 way contact sync with gmail contacts

I set up gmail account on iPhone (3GS), using Exchange option. When I enable the Contacts in iPhone setup, I see that all my Gmail contacts have transferred over to the iPhone (and I now have duplicates when looking at "All Contacts," but see there is a separate Gmail Contacts group which has only those Gmail contacts.
However, if I add a new contact to Address Book, and then sync, that new contact does NOT sync over to Gmail, so it appears to be one way. I do have mobileme, but I realize that probably doesn't get it over to Gmail.
So.... 2 questions:
1) Is there a way to get true two way sync of contacts between iPhone and Gmail
2) Is there any way to NOT have duplicate contacts when choosing All Contacts on iPhone (I suppose I could just leave it on Gmail Contacts, which if syncing 2 way, should show everything)...
Thanks--

Adding a contact on the phone syncs up to the Gmail contacts online satisfactorily (although I haven't tested different additions, like Fred & Wilma, vs. Barney)
Editing contacts on the phone syncs up somewhat. Eg, I have Barney Rubble, and edit it to show Barney & Betty Rubble. In the notes, I put 'Bam-Bam'. The edited note will show up, but the name change will not.
I'm resorting to the brute force method. Deleting the contact entirely, and re-entering it.

How do I sync phone contacts with (into) gmail contacts?

I'm using 3 different GMAIL accounts via my phone. Each GMAIL account (accessed via the web) has their own contact list. There are also some (many!) contacts that can only be accessed via my phone - that is, the information does not show up via web access in any of the three GMAIL accounts.
Is there a way to sync / export all phone contacts in to one particular GMAIL account?
I've tried Verizon Backup Assistant, but this did not fix the problem. I think all it did was back up (to backup assistant) about ~650 of my ~1700 contacts.
Many thanks!
Melissa

certainly, export each contact list, #1, #2, #3, then import all 3 into the one email account you select & only have that gmail account doing the sync.
ba is limited to 1000 & only does phone numbers, email must be added manually.
fwiw:
i use both with ba as the primary but anything i enter into gmail contacts, on the pc, is on the phone immediately because i only sync contacts & calendar, gmail isn't my primary email.

HT4623 how do i sync my contacts in iPhone4S into gmail contacts?

How do I sync my contact in iPhone4S into gmail contacts?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.

Nokia N8 or E7? GMail Contacts Sync?

Hi, I'm planning to dump my Motorola Milestone because of terrible support from Motorola and it's **bleep** camera.
I've been looking many places for a replacement, but I'm not happy yet (iPhone never). So my new phone has basically two requirements:
1 - Excelent camera. I beleive N8 12 MP camera with Carl Zeiss lens will do what I need here.
2 - Contact syncing with GMail. One of the things I've found very useful in android is it's native contact sync with gmail contacts. It's never been easier to keep track of my contacts and manage them. I add a new contact on gmail, and quickly it syncs with my phone and I can already call my friend I added over from the internet. This is simply awesome. Besides, I don't want to have to export/import my contacts ever again. The process usually is not flawless and almost always it's a pain. Does/Will Symbian^3 support contact binding to gmail? I don't want to use anything else. Is the format the same?
Now, I was thinking about getting the E7 because of the QWERTY physical keyboard. It makes my life so much easier/faster, I'd hate to come back to touch screen keyboards. The problem is that E7 aparently has lower hardware specs than N8. And it's camera does not have Carl Zeiss lens. Am I right?
I just wish N8 had a physical keyboard option, but I guess you can't have everything...
One last doubt. N8 does not support multi-touch right?
Thanks and Regards,
Fábio

Gmail Contacts Sync Bug

Hi, when I sync my gmail contacts, any contact URLs will show upon my Z10 as http\:// instead of http://.
The extra backslash makes my urls unusable. It doesnt matter wether I store my url as www.x.com or as http://www.x.com in gmail, it always gets that extra backslash on my Z10 contacts.
This bug has been on all OS versions I have used, including 10.0.10.82, 10.0.10.99, 10.1.0.264, 10.1.0.273.
So hope someone reads this and fixes it, I just wana make BB10 flawless.
Thanks
Werner

Hello werwortmann,
Thank you for your question regarding Gmail contact synchronization on your BlackBerry Z10 smartphone.
Are you referring to websites you have added to the contact from Gmail Webmail? Do they appear on your BlackBerry Z10 under the website field in this manner?

IOS 4.3.1 - What happened to Gmail Contacts Push?

Can someone at Apple explain why: In iOS 4.3.1 the 'Contacts' option has been removed from Gmail account setup? Instead we now have to connect the iPhone physically to iTunes via USB and enable Gmail contact sync via the 'Info' tab? One can only speculate that Apple have finally realised that pushing contacts from Gmail ate into their MobileMe revenues to such an extent that they have elected to penalise Gmail (or should I say 'Google apps') users to impair Google and reposition MobileMe which is way overpriced?
Or am I completely wrong?

So in order to configure push Gmail we have to use the MS Exchange wizard? NOT THE ONE CALLED GMAIL?
Push access for received email has NEVER been supported with a Gmail account on the iPhone until Google supported accessing a Gmail account as an Exchange account with the iPhone's Mail app.
What is the MS Exchange Wizard?
Meanwhile there is a sync to Gmail option under the iPhone iTunes Info tab?
This option has ALWAYS been available - since day one - long before Google supported accessing a Gmail account as an Exchange account with the iPhone's Mail app. Some may prefer not accessing their Gmail account as an Exchange account. Some with a Gmail account don't store their contacts with their Google online address book. Because Google now supports accessing a Gmail account as an Exchange account with the iPhone's Mail app which everyone with a Gmail account may not want to use, Apple is supposed to remove the option to sync Google contacts direct via the iTunes sync process?

My iPad contacts disappeared after adding a contact

My IPad 2 contacts just disappeared after adding a contact. What will I do aside from syncing? Are there any other solutions?

Upon purchase of my iPad 2 I began saving contacts to my IPad Contacts application that is already set up upon purchase of iPad 2.   I then learnt about synching ( push ) my Gmail contacts to the Ipad 2 contacts 'exchange'.   I did this happily and was very pleased with the results however when synching the first time I chose not to delete my iPad 2 contacts I had began saving upon purchase.   This meant upon opening 'contacts' I had three choices 'iPad contacts', 'Exchange contacts' or 'All contacts'.   There is no way to save ipad contacts directly to the 'Exchange contacts' it has to be saved into a file or vcard and then imported in using e-mail or a PC.
A few days in to using push/exchange I also added calendar and notes to the push/exchange as I was happy with the contacts and e-mail.   I did notice some glitches since doing using push/exchange although I think it began when initially I began pushing contacts/mail there may be a slight chance that it began when I turned on calendar and notes facility to the push/exchange. The glitches that began meant sudden blinking during or after saving in calendar, contacts and notes.   Sometimes this would mean the item added was there but also sometimes it would mean that it was not.   Also double entries began arriving on both m iPad and in my Gmail Contacts online.   These were a mix of contacts that I had and had not not created or edited since acquiring my iPad 2 so the was no pattern or obvious reason.   They were all also a mix of contacts from different groups saved in my Gmail contacts.
Today suddenly whilst adding a contact the contacts blinked shut again.   I re-opened to see what had happened wondering if my contact had been saved or not however not only did what I add not get saved but all approx 500 contacts from both my iPad contacts and my Exchange Contacts vanished from my iPad 2.   I opened and closed the contacts to see if they would return but there was nothing.   I also hibernated and then later shut down and restarted the iPad many times to no avail.   I checked my Gmail Contacts account and thankfully all my contacts were still there.   However, it was still extremely frustrating to have everything vanish from my iPad and then not just come back from there especially as he e-mails and calendar seemed to be still working fine with Exhange/push.   Also, why had the contacts saved to the IPad contacts directly vanished also ?!!   For a £800 gadget not including accessories it really is unacceptable !!!
Finally what worked for me was going to 'Settings', then going to 'mail,contacts,calendars' and then selecting the 'exchange' account and then switching 'contacts' to 'off', then I selected 'delete' iPad contacts i.e delete the contacts saved in the iPad contacts group however with nothing there to lose this time and having a feeling that perhaps that may have contributed to the issues/glitches and this contacts vanishing I clicked on the 'delete'.   I really do have a feeling that perhaps the issues may have been due to having two sets of contacts even though there were only a few there in the iPad before they vanished along with the Exchange contacts.   I clicked 'done' and then I didn't hibernate the iPad 2 instead I shut it completely down.
Upon restarting my iPad 2 I went to see if the contacts had returned but unfortunately once again they had not.   I returned to 'settings', then 'mail,contacts,calendars' and then selected 'exchange' from accounts and switched 'contacts' back on i.e enabled this once again and clicked done.   I then once again switched off ( shut down ) my iPad 2 and waited a while.   Upon restarting I again went back to contacts and found some of my contacts finally arrive but not all.   My 'push/'fetch' for exchange is set to every 15 minutes and every push/fetch showed me more and more contacts until finally I had all but one which has still not showed up !   However, I am once again happy and this time I only have one contacts group I.e for exchange and no separate iPad contacts to confuse me or iPad.   I don't know if this will mean all will be okay now as I do feel like perhaps I cannot now trust iPad contacts and maybe need to print out everything and keep this on me also just in case. I'll keep you posted !

Is it because the new itunes looks different.

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.

Hi Michael,
Yes it is now resolved but not after I send iTunes a request for help and explaining the problem. They send a first reply explaining how I needed to verify my account and gave me the link to do that. You and I know that this did not help, so I replied telling them that this was not working and iTunes did the reset for me.
You may want to open a help ticket with iTunes help. That is the only way it works.
