Address Book Google sync gone?

I'm distressed to see that the Google syncing functionality of Address Book has gone away in Lion. And no, you can't sync contacts from the "Mail, Contacts, and Calendars" preference pane, only Mail & Notes, Calendars, and Chat.
I've CalDAV could be another option, but it would be nice if this functionality was built in as

When I look under "Accounts" in the Adress Book preferences, there is an option for syncing with Mobile Me, Google, and Yahoo in the right column.
Hope this helps!

    just enable iCloud sync and then configure, setup and then disable it. Re-setup Google and it will work

  • Address Book not syncing with Google Apps

    so i thought this will be resolved after reinstalling 10.5.7 (i tried a lot of tweaks in the earlier installation to make this work) but it seems that even with a clean install it wouldnt work.
    address book authenticates with google but no updates are being sent or recieved.
    did anyone manage to get this working ? i have a feeling its not out of the box...

    Hi guys,
    I have a similiar problem. My address booked has synced correctly with google contacts since 2 years
    And suddenly it stopped syncing. Furthermore when I go to settings/acconts  I still find
    my "Local" account where i configured my google account, but now the right window is empty.
    There is no button to edit or show this account !!
    (I mentioned this after update to 10.6.8, but I'm not sure if it worked shortly before doing the update)
    What could be wrong ?

  • How do i prompt Address Book to sync?

    To Forum,
    My Address book syncs with Google and vice versa. How do i prompt Address Book to sync once i have updated items within it? i see it syncs here and there on its own accord? whats the prompt? what do i have to do? or why does it sync when it does?

    . . .from my old address book.  (10.4.11)    I tried to import the ABBU file into CONTACTS  (10.8.2 ) .  The drop down warned that this would "replace" the existing contacts.  That is what I wanted to do.  Writing over the dozen addresses that I had copied from old emails was no big deal, but now those are gone and the address book is EMPTY.  The new addresses are gone and the old addresses did not import.
    Help !!!

  • Address Book Source Sync every 30 seconds when using computer

    Hi,
    I previously had the issue where my MBA 2013 1.7 i7, 8GB, 500GB was draining the battery in sleep mode. Figured out it was Avast and problem solved.
    Now, however, I check on the power management logs from time to time when awake there is the following log:

    This doesnt seem normal at all. I have disabled the syncing of all contacts in iCloud prefs but it still persists. Surely if such a process reccurs every 30 seconds it has an effect?
    Anyone got any ideas or have experience with this? Seems like Mavericks isn't so great at power saving afterall!

    Please test after taking each of the following steps.
    Step 1
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.AddressBookSourceSync
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Trash.
    Log out, log back in, and test. If there's no change, go to the next step.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
    Step 2
    If you use iCloud, uncheck the box marked Contacts in the iCloud preference pane. Press return to confirm, or click Keep on Mac in the dialog that opens.
    Step 3
    From the list of groups on the left side of the Contacts window, select All On My Mac. If that group doesn't exist or is empty, skip this step. Otherwise, from the menu bar, select
    File ▹ Export ▹ Export vCard
    Save the exported contacts to the Desktop.
    Step 4
    Quit Contacts. Reveal the following item in the Finder as you did in Step 1:
    ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook
    Move the selected folder to the Desktop, leaving the window open for now.
    Step 5
    Launch Contacts. Your contacts will be gone. If you took Step 3, then double-click the file you created in that step and confirm that you want to import from it. Your contacts will reappear.
    Step 6
    If you took Step 2, reverse it. Test. If the issue is resolved, delete the AddressBook folder and the vCard file on the Desktop and close the open folder window.
    Otherwise, quit Contacts again and put the AddressBook folder back where it was, overwriting the newer one that will have been created in its place. Post your results.

  • Address book source sync keeps MBPr awake

    I have been seeing this weird process keeping my MBPr awake for no apparent reason. and i know its awake because when i pull it out of my bad after whole night its very warm at the bottom and battery has drained like 40 percent overnight.
    I have tried to pinpoint the reason and found that there is a process called "Address book source sync" that keeps my notebok awake. so i decided to get rid of iCloud, as i dont need it. it didnt work, so i formatted the whole HDD and reinstalled mavericks from scratch and never logged into iCloud. it was ok for couple of days and now again i am seeing this process keeping my notebook awake. i dont know what to do, please help me.

  • Not all fields in Address Book are syncing

    For some reason not all the fields in my address book get synced from one computer to another. The template for all the fields in address book are the same on the different computers but the 'Department' field does not get synced. Any ideas how to fix this?

    So sorry...yes I'm using Contacts from Outlook.
    When I launch Field Mapping from the Advanced Settings for Address Book, the Handheld fields that are available for me to map to my Contacts in Outlook, do not include the fields previously mentioned so there is no way for me to map them to a destination field in Outlook.
    Maybe I'm using an old version of Desktop Manager??? Mine is version 3.6.0.63 (June 11 2003)...could you please let me know what version you have?
    Many thanks!

  • My Address Book application is GONE - question mark on it on taskbar

    Hi. I'm a relatively new Mac user. My Address Book app is gone completely from my Applications folder and it has a question mark on it when I click on the icon in the taskbar. All of my contacts appear to be intact in Mail - they show up when I type addresses in emails, and I can still see the photos I assigned to contacts when these contacts send me email. But the app itself is gone from the Applications folder and I can't seem to find it no matter where I search. I've searched for Address Book under every user profile on this machine.
    I should note that I have 4-year-old daughter who uses this mac on occasion and who seems to have a special gift for the sorts of mouse-clicks and command-typing that evaporate or otherwise misfile important applications.
    How do I reinstall just Address Book? It seems to be the only App missing. The Leopard disk seemed to be suggesting that a complete reinstall would be necessary which seems a bit much for just the one app.

    You can use a program called "Pacifist" to install individual applications from the Leopard DVD (Available here: http://www.charlessoft.com/)

  • Subscribed address book not synced to iPhone

    I shared my address book with my wife, and she subscribes to it. Unfortunately, the shared contacts do not make it to her iPhone during a sync. Any Ideas why?
    Also, what's the difference between subscribing to a mac address book and syncing using mobileme?
    Thanks!

    I also have this issue. My contacts sync fine from the computer to Mobileme, but the groups don't sync to the iphone. This leaves me with an empty "Groups" window as described by eltons. If I sync through itunes, with Mobileme contacts sync off on the iphone, the groups show up.
    Any ideas? Is this consistent with the original post?

  • Custom image from Address book not syncing to Exchange.

    I am running Mac OS X v 10.7.5. I have added custom images to contacts in address book. I have an Exchange account which will sync the data (ie name, address, email) but not the custom image. Is there away to have custom images sync to Exchange/Outlook?

    I'm Running Mac OS X Lion, and have seen that changes made in the mac address book do not sync to gmail contacts but changes to gmail contacts do sync to the mac address book.
    Making a change to a contact on my phone does sync to gmail contacts, and then to the mac address book.
    Another test I ran was to change the same contact in gmail and mac address book.  I made a change to a mobile number and notes in one contact on my mac address book, attempted to sync, and the change does not appear in my gmail contacts.  I tried multiple times, restarted my web browser, restarted mac address book, the sync would not work.  I changed the same contact mobile number in gmail with a slightly different change to the notes field so I could see when an update occurred, and when I told mac address book to sync it recognized a conflict. When I select the mac address book change to resolve the conflict, the gmail contact is not updated.  When I repeated the experiment and selected the gmail contact to resolve the conflict the change is made in the mac address book.

    my address book icon is gone from the screen on my blackberry pearl..please help me recover. Thanks

    Make selective backup
    save only data that you need to be saved.
    After that on the device go to Options - Security Options - General Settings
    Hit the menu button and select "Wipe handheld"
    It will wipe the device memory.
    After that restore the saved information to the device.

  • POP3 Mail & Address Book contacts have gone!

    I recently did some housekeeping on my Mum's iBook G4 (OSX 10.4.10), part of which was purchasing and installing SpamSieve into Mail. This all went fine. Today she said all the mail in her POP3 inbox had gone, she couldn't send/receive and all her address book contacts had gone (Except hers and Apples).
    I've got the iBook now and have noticed that her account type in Mail has somehow changed to a .Mac account (did I somehow do this, or did she???). This is obviously the root of the problem as the
    email address now has '@mac.com' appended to the end and the incoming mail server is now 'mail.mac.com' and the outgoing is 'smtp.mac.com:heremailaddress' which is all wrong. I'm unable to change the account type back to POP or the incoming mail server from 'mail.mac.com' (it's greyed out) back to what it was.
    I have now created a second account with the correct POP settings and have received in all unread email, but the read email messages have gone. I am unable to send as the new correct pop account is only offered the incorrect outgoing server ('smtp.mac.com:heremailaddress').
    Having read several post on this forum, I feel the Mail/Address Book issues are connected and that maybe the application(s) database(s) have been corrupted. I've tried the Address Book remedy at http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5248351&#5248351 but this does nothing. The 'user'>Library>Mail folder shows the two accounts as two separate folders. The recently recreated account folder has the new unread messages in the 'INBOX.mbox folder, but the older account folder (which now has 'MAC-' added to the front of its name) only has 'info.plist' in a 'INBOX.imapmbox' folder!
    I don't believe any back-ups are available. Can anyone help me restore her old unread mail, and possibly her address book contacts?
    I've also just noticed that SpamSieve does not launch as it should when I launch Mail, even though It was purchased and the scripts installed correctly.

    Didn’t you make a backup prior to the housekeeping?
    I don’t know why would Spotlight find contacts that are gone from Address Book (if that’s what you mean), but as far as Mail goes, under some circumstances (e.g. lack of available disk space, filesystem corruption, repeated crashes), Mail may discard the current ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist preferences file and create a new one. This file is where all the account settings are stored. As a result, all the non-.Mac account settings (but not the messages themselves) are lost. If you had a .Mac account, its settings would appear to have been preserved because Mail would set up that account automatically using the System Preferences > .Mac settings.
    What’s the capacity and space available on the startup disk? Take a look at the comments about disk space in the following article, in case they apply to you:
    Problems from insufficient RAM and free hard disk space
    Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
    The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what’s it all about?
    After having fixed all the filesystem issues, if any, and ensuring that there’s enough space available on the startup disk (a few GB, plus the space needed to make a backup copy of the Mail folder), quit Mail if it’s running, and make a backup copy of the ~/Library/Mail folder, e.g. by dragging it to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down, just in case something else goes wrong while trying to solve the problem. This is where all your mail is stored.
    You have three options now:
    (1) Restore ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist from a backup if you have one. Mail shouldn’t be running while you do this.
    (2) Set up your mail accounts again (you may want to quit Mail and trash the new com.apple.mail.plist first to start over). If given the option to import existing mailboxes or something like that, don’t. Just enter the account information and Mail will automagically rediscover the data in ~/Library/Mail/ when done. You’ll also have to re-configure most of your settings in Mail > Preferences. For spam-related security reasons, the first thing you should do is go to Preferences > Viewing and disable Display remote images in HTML messages if it’s enabled.
    (3) Mail may have renamed the old preferences file to com.apple.mail.plist.saved. If that’s the case, you may try trashing the new com.apple.mail.plist and renaming the old com.apple.mail.plist.saved back to com.apple.mail.plist. Again, be sure Mail isn’t running while doing this. Given the circumstances, there exists the possibility that com.apple.mail.plist.saved became corrupt, but that often is not the case and the settings can usually be restored by just renaming the file back to com.apple.mail.plist.
    As a side effect of re-creating com.apple.mail.plist, Mail might rename Outbox (which is where messages waiting to be sent are stored) to Delivered. The name of that mailbox is actually a misnomer, as it would contain messages (if any) that couldn’t be delivered for some reason. You can delete that mailbox if you wish.
    Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. That is, ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder, i.e. /Users/username/Library.

  • Basic question about address book / gmail sync

    Does the itunes address book / gmail sync feature only sync between those two contact lists, or if I enable gmail sync, will all of my gmail contacts be put on my iphone?
    I have only one folder of about 200 contacts in address book synced to my iphone. But address book and gmail have about 1,000 contacts each. I don't want all of those contacts on my phone.
    Thanks.

    Found an answer to my main question regarding the separate address books, looks like Lion Server is capable of doing personal address books for each user: http://www.wegotserved.com/2011/10/06/os-lion-server-home-server-part-11-shared- address-book/

  • ITunes can't see my address book to sync

    I have a MacBook running OSX 10.4.9 and iTunes 7.2. On either my 1st gen or video ipod, when trying to turn on contact syncing I get the message:
    No contacts available
    Contact syncing cannot be enabled because there are no contact available. Do you want to open the address book and create contacts now?
    There are options to cancel or open address book only. When I open my address book there are all of my contacts and nothing appears to be corrupt. I have tried to even backup my contacts and empty the address book to sync an empty address book, but it give the same message. My only thought is that I started to have random problems when I tried using file vault encryption and had to turn it off. Maybe some file path problem crept in. Any ideas?

    Mine is doing the exact same thing, and nobody on any of these threads has had any luck fixing it yet, so far as I can tell. iSync is worthless since it simply won't see the ipod and basically is not used at all now as .mac is done through its own preference window. What did work for me, and was quite easily done, was to just open your ipod through the finder and delete the vcard data in the contacts folder. Export your contacts from address book as a vcard to that contacts folder on your ipod, and it all works fine.
    Still won't sync...but at least this only takes a minute to do. I'd like to actually fix it though.
