Address book not syncing with gmail

I had my address book syncing with Gmail but it no longer does. I make a change on my Mac and nothing happens in the cloud. I believe I have it configured properly (Synchronize with Google is selected in Preferences > Accounts and configured). Currently, the only account listed is 'On My Mac (Local)'.
o What might be the problem?
o how can I force a sync?
TIA,
David

For me, a few days later is just started working so I assumed it was a temp glitch. I am however now having trouble with ical updating to google. Also, an ongoing issue I have is that google or apple duplicates my contacts. I go into google, delete dupes, and then a day or two later they are all back.
If anyone can help with apple to google sync, it would be greatly appreciated. When I say help, I mean get it working reliably and consistently. From everything I have read, I have everything set up right but clearly something is wrong.

  • Address Book not syncing to Gmail

    I have Snow Leopard and have enabled the Sync to Gmail feature in Address Book. However, my Address Book changes are not syncing to Gmail Contacts.

    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.

  • Address Book not syncing with Exchange 2007

    My address book on Snow Leopard has 4093 cards, but not all of them are showing up in my contacts folder in Outlook Web Access. My company uses Exchange 2007. This is strange as I originally populated my address book by syncing it with my cards on Outlook. Does anyone know what the problem might be?

  • 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 ?
    Regards jb0815

  • Address book not syncing with mobileme

    I have just bought a new Mac Book Pro 15' and being new to Mac I'm stuck for sure. My mobile me account (which I have had for years) will  not sync the Address book. I'm worried if I sync my iphone or ipad I will loose everything.
    Please help- what am I doing wrong - all the settings seem to be right .

    I wish I had an answer for you. Typically it works just fine, but I noticed today some of my contacts were not syncing with my MacMini nor my iPhone, but my iPad my web-version of MobileMe appear to be synched. I think there is a problem with the system.

  • Address Book not syncing with 9100 Pearl

    I have a new 9100 Pearl. I have it connected to Blackberry Desktop Manager on my Mac via USB. When I sync the address book it seems to sync OK and gives a message that the sync is complete, but the are no contacts actually transferred onto the Blackberry.
    I have the BB set to show all contacts and cannot think of any other settings that may need to be changed. Any ideas?
    I have just changed to the 9100 from a 9700 Bold and had no problems syncing my address book with that device from the same Mac.

    Maybe is some kind of filter on your device.
    You can verify if your device has the contacts
    Open your Desktop Manager for Mac connect your device go to Backup and there is an area there that is show you your device data or content verified if you has any data.
    If you has data on your phone then is the filter on your device address book
    Go to address book, press the menu key and go to filter, just be sure Business and Personal are not checked.

  • Address Book not syncing with one computer (through .mac)

    I'm having difficulty syncing one of my computers through .mac. My desktop seems to interact fine with the online account, but I can't get the AddressBook info from .mac onto my laptop. I have tried all the syc settings in System Preferences and in the preferences menu in Address Book and they all say that I should be syncing. Is there something I am missing? As far as I can tell, both computers have the same settings. I'm wanting to be able to use my ipod touch with either computer, (and to have both computers have the same info as each other) . . .
    Thanks for any help.

    I just upgraded to Leopard and am having the same problem. Everything is syncing fine except the AB. I still see all my contacts up on .mac thank goodness, but nothing is coming down to my computer. I hope that they don't just disappear up on .mac as well!!!

  • Macbook Air with Mac OS X Address book not syncing with iPhone 5s completely

    I have just started ICloud syncing of my macbook air address book and my iphone. Some seemingly random contacts are not being transferred down to the iphone. I can't figure this out. How do you make this work correctly?

    First of all, your post title refers to an iPhone 5S.  There is no such device being sold by Apple.
    Aside from that, it sounds like your contacts are in more than one account on your Mac.  In Contacts on your Mac, you might try clicking the button closest to the plus side in the lower left of the display to hopefully show your various accounts.  You might also check Contacts > Preferences > Accounts.

  • Address book not syncing with Office 365

    I use Office 365 as my primary work email. I have elected to sync my Office 365 address book with my MBA running 10.7.
    Most of the time it works OK, but I often get an error sign next to the Office 365 group in the Address Book. The error generally says "Address Book cannot save the contact <name> to the Exchange Server and gives me the option to Revert to Server or go Offline.
    If I elect to revert to server, the error goes away but sync still doesn't work. If I restart Address Book I get the same error with another contact.
    Is there a way to validate the entire address book rather than having to continually restart the Address Book app?

  • Why is my address book not Syncing with ipad / iphone..

    Seems to be syncing with icloud, however, no icloud account was setup, also, have no prefs for icloud as I'm running OS 10.6....
    Why can't I just sync the address book to the devices directly, btw, itunes 11 *****!
    Less intuative, functions dissappeared... OH DEAR OH DEAR!!!

    When you make changes in AB, quit Mail for the changes to be added to Mail's database file. Reopen Mail and try it.

  • Why does my address book not sync to iCloud?

    Why does my address book not sync to iCloud?

    I believe the duplicate address book accounts stems from the move from MobileMe to iCloud and both accounts still being active.
    This is how I merged the two address books:
    1) To make sure all the contacts are in both:
    a) I selected On My Mac account - clicked on any address - Command A to select all - drag the contacts to the iCloud account - answered OK to merge and resolve duplicates.
    b) same in reverse: select the iCloud account - click on an address - click Command A to select all - drag the contacts to the On My Mac account - answer OK to merge and resolve duplicates.
    In system preferences I found an iCloud icon and also a MobileMe icon. I was logged in under both.
    1)  In the Address Book preferences I selected iCloud and unchecked Enable this account.
    2)  In the Address Book I selected iCloud and clicked on the minus “-” to remove that account – leaving only the local Mac address book.
    3)  I went into system preferences and logged out of MobileMe
    4)  In system preferences I opened iCloud and the “Contacts” was not selected (from above) and I selected it.
    I got a dialog box asking if I wanted to merge the iCloud contact with the local contacts – clicked YES.
    … spinning wheel for a minute … voila – only one address book account – iCloud with syncing to iCloud and my iPhone.

  • "Smart Groups" in Address Book not syncing to the iPhone

    "Smart Groups" in Address Book not syncing to the iPhone
    Normal Groups sync but smart groups do not.
    Anyone else have this issue or know of a fix?
    Thanks.

    This same concept applies to syncing two macs via .Mac
    The method I use for iPhone is this.
    Define your smart group as needed.
    Define a read group with a similar or convenient name.
    From time to time drag your whole smart group to the real group.
    The real group is the one that then syncs to your iPhone.
    As a safety factor, I usually clear all entries from my real group before I drag over the updated smart group.
    Anyway, this is simple and works well.
    Hope that helps.
