Address Book, iCal and Gmail

I would like to make Gmail my default source for Address Book entries and iCal entries on my Intel Mac running Lion and my iPad. There seems to an 'almost' option in Address Book when setting up for Gmail, however, it only states my mac

I have heard a lot about how the new 2.0 software will work with Microsoft exchange, but i have heard nothing about how it will work with ical and address book, or if gmail users will get any added email benefits.... so someone please give me some good news....
How it will work with iCal and Address Book in what way? With over the air syncing?
If so, only with Apple's new Me.com service which is replacing their .Mac service. This will provide over the air syncing for contact information and calendar events between iCal and Address Book on a Mac, with the iPhone, and when accessing your Me.com account via Safari on any Mac, or with Safari or a supported browser on a Windows PC. The Me.com account will be push email.
Regarding any added benefits for a Gmail account, I don't believe so, unless Gmail plans on adding some benefits such as push-IMAP account access.

HT4597 After the move to icloud, I no longer have an address book synched. Cannot find a way to add i cloud on preferences/accounts either. I'm not at all happy with this transition.

You don't require Mountain Lion - you need Lion which has been available for almost a year.
Unless you are running Mac OS X 10.7.2 or later (Lion) you won't be able to sync iCloud with your computer. The iClous system preferences pane does not exist in ealier versions.
The Mac system requirements are all clearly stated on the iCloud pages, and in the support articles.

Strange Entourage/Address Book synching problem

Hi,
Has anyone else seen this? I'm using the Sync Services preference within Entourage to synchronize the Entourage and Address Book contact lists. I've done this with several computers before, with no problems. But on this particular computer (running 10.4.11 and Office 2004) whenever a synch takes place, within the Address Book titles appear before the first name in all the contacts. The fields in Entourage are all correctly entered in. This would be just a small annoyance, except that of course subsequent iPhone/Address Book synchs result in everyone's title showing up on the iPhone as well.
I've made sure that the Title field is on the Address Book layout (and it is, beside Company, below First Name and Last Name), tried ditching the Address Book folder within Application Support, running the PocketMac SyncClean utility to clean out the Sync Services cache, deleting the Address Book completely and re-synching (multiple times), yet nothing works.
Any ideas?

Since Entourage is not an Apple product, you'll get better response if you use a forum dedicated to Microsoft's Mac products such as <http://groups.google.com/groups/dir?sel=33607053> rather than an Apple forum.
Be sure to search the forum first in case someone has already had a similar question answered. You'll get your answer faster this way. Post your question in the forum if you don't find anything that helps you.

Once Mac address book synched from iphone and contacts deleted they won't resynch back

I have a problem and have spent hours researching but to no avail
1. I got a new iphone 4S and put in my mail info from yahoo, gmail and low and behold I had a contact list now in my phone. I thought, "I just love Apple!"
2. I spent all afternoon on my iphone updating my contact list with contact photos, birthdays and all the stuff I never put in on my email program or my MacPro Leopard mac addressbook.
3. With trepidation, I synched via usb with itunes my contacts and suddenly I had 3 (or more versions of my contacts on every site or device). To see what was going on (as I wasn't sure if my mac would erase iphone contacts or add to them etc) I tried putting a test contact "iphone test" on my phone, yahoo test on my yahoo account, and mac test contact on my laptop address book, and gmail test in my gmail's contacts, and synched again.... For the most part every test contact showed up everywhere (not yahoo test in gmail's account mind you)
4. GREAT I thought. I will just DELETE the contacts in the mac address book, yahoo, gmail accounts, fix my iphone duplicate contacts so I have one perfect set on the iphone and resynch and I should have my iphone contacts filling in all the right places (yahoo, gmail, and mac address book from the iphone) and they will all now be identical... SO WRONG!
5. None of the prior contacts would sync. Only new contacts will synch (ones that were never before synched, ie, a new iphone test contact WILL show up in my Mac address book but the other 100 won't (apparently the computer knows they were already synced or something.)
I am now left with all my contacts on my phone and none in my computer! I have synched in itunes about 10 times with "contacts" checked trying different settings for yahoo, gmail but no source will retake my iphone contacts now that it was synced and the mac address book deleted...
Can anyone help???

Thanks for your timely response. I really appreciate the heads up on the My Contacts Backup App since when you have gone from 4 copies of contacts to one you are starting to feel insecure...
Unfortunately, after following this to a "T" (2x) no luck... The mac address book was empty to begin with so I added three new contacts, synched and then started from there...
I unchecked the sync box and synched. Deleted 2 of the 3 contacts and checked the "sync contacts"--all contacts (I have no groups). It synched without prompting me for a merge and the new single contact did not show up in the iphone... bummer. Any other thoughts would be appreciated.
SORRY, I ACCIDENTALLY GAVE MYSELF HELPFUL POINTS AND THEY WERE FOR RANDERS4....

Address Book sync to Gmail?

I'm running Leopard Mail and Address Book but I'd like Gmail (via the web site) to also have my addresses. There are a lot of them - it would take forever to manage manually. Is there a way to sync them?

If you do not own an iPhone, you may not see the option in Address Book to sync contacts with Google's Gmail. If you are not seeing the option in the preferences of Address Book > General, then read the 3 steps in the follow post on how to enable the Gmail contact option box:
http://lifehacker.com/393855/enable-google-contact-sync-without-an-iphone-or-ipo d-touch
(Excerpt:)
Here's what you do:
1. If you don't have the Property List Editor installed, download the shareware PlistEdit Pro and install.
2. Open up ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iPod.plist and save a backup copy of it. Then, expand the tree to reveal "Family ID." Change that value to 10001, as shown above.
3. Save your changes. Launch Address Book and open the Preference pane. The Google contact sync option will be staring right at you.
Next, open iSync, choose iSync > Preferences, and then select “Show status in menu bar.” Quit iSync. Click the Sync menu in the menu bar and choose Sync Now. (taken from Address Book Help > Synchronizing with Google Contacts).
Voilé!

Address Book - Where is Gmail ?

Under Preferences/Accounts, there is a check box for Yahoo and iCloud but none for Gmail or Google. What's up with that, and is it possible to connect my Gmail contacts with Address Book? Thanks for any help.

Go into Help in Address Book and there's a "Sync contacts with Google Contacts" entry
Note that they recommend keeping Google contacts sync OFF if you're using iCloud to sync contacts.
If you select the "On My Mac" account you should see a "Synchronize with Google" checkbox. Check the Help for further instructions.

High CPU usage for Mail/Address Book with Exchange/GMail

I reinstalled 10.6 on my MacBook Pro because it since the upgrade from 10.5 performance has been generally lousy and I wanted to make a fresh start. I am finding that my performance problems with Mail (which connects to both Gmail and Exchange) is still poor At all times, even when Mail is not processing any connections to either mail server, it consumes about 25% CPU just being idle. Oddly, Address Book uses 25% minimum CPU at all times. Also, in Address Book, I see the contact list for my Exchange account has the progress meter spinning at all times, even after a full reboot of the computer. My Mail and Contact lists are fully synced up at this point so I am not sure what all the overhead is for. It really drags down general performance of the machine, especially when I attempt to load any complex pages in Safari where I constantly see the pinwheel. This is all pretty troubling since this is a fresh install of the OS and I actually have same problems as I had with Mail before plus I now have new problems with Address Book that I DIDN'T have before. I haven't even turned on Time Machine because after the way it affected performance on my previous install for 15 minutes out of every hour it will surely render my machine useless.
In a word, "Help".

My problem doesn't align exactly with yours, but I'd suggest you try this anyway (especially if you aren't using RSS within Mail - this is sure to blow away any Mail.app RSS feeds):
+So, if you see the Mail application growing in size until it aborts, it appears that the most direct fix is to quit Mail and delete the ~/Library/Mail/AvailableFeeds and ~/Library/Mail/AvailableFeeds-journal files. No reboots or other actions are required.+

Error Code 0x82bc1095 trying to map folders in Address Book synching with MS Outlook 2003 SP3t

Help please. My BB Curve 8900 OS v5 has suddenly stopped synchronising with my MS Outlook 2003 SP3. It gets as far as address book then stops, giving error message " One or more configured folders is not availablr. Update mapping field and try again". Configuring my organiser, when I click on a tab I get another message saying "No available Message stores". I click on OK and get the tabbed page opern but the mapping folders field is empty and greyed out.
If I click on Map Fields, I get another error message "Error encountered. Error code 0x82bc1095"
No synchronisation takes place at all.
I am far from technically minded, say about one step above being a Luddite. Can anyone please advise me?

Thanks for your suggestion, but things have moved since then. I tried swapping my mapisvc by changing the extension to 'old' and running the repair, but this did not recreate a mapisvc.inf file, so I changed the extension back to inf. I also uninstalled Outlook Connector as other threads have suggested.
However another thread suggested resetting the organiser using the reset settings button. I did this, but the DTM will not now let me set up synchronisation with my Outlook. Outlook is shown as an option, along with Yahoo and ASCII.
It just lets me go through the process but does not produce a tick in the appropriate box at the end.
I did tell it to synch with Yahoo to see if it would take and it does, but when I try to change it to Outlook it does not register the change (leaving it as Yahoo). I have to select 'none' to clear the tick.
You can probably tell that I'm useless at this sort of thing and I'm getting very frustrated with the whole thing. I've had numerous problems ever since I upgraded the device software. I think that if I ever get this working again, I will not do anything else.
Hope you can help an old duffer and thanks again for your input.

Address Book integration with Gmail

Is there a way I can use mac's Address Book in conjunction with Gmail?
I want to set up a group in address book and send them an email from Gmail.

These are the only two applications which do allow you to export contact's to gmail:
- AddressBookToCSV
- Address Book to CSV Exporter
Both will work fine and you can use them for free! Just use the one you like the most!
There are no other options for OSX

IPod Touch w/ iPhone 2.0 Software - Calendar, Address Book synch issue

I am using my new iPod Touch at work with the exchange server. However, I find it annoying that I cannot have my other calendars from home on my ipod touch along with my address books. Can a more inspired Apple type person inform us that this will be changed?

Ditto. Will there be an update to the Calendar and contacts solution to allow multiple calendars, either an exchange server calendar or personal calendar as well as categories of contact lists?

Address Book synching only half-works

My iPod Classic seems unable to keep straight which addresses and phone numbers are "home" and which ones are "work", and, though my older iPod Photo could do it, does not seem able to transfer information from the "Notes" field. Is there any solution for this yet, or do we just have to wait for another firmware update?
On a more cosmetic note, Address Book photos that did not originate from pictures that were already scaled down to 64x64 (or whatever) appear scrambled when they display on the iPod.

Same problem here from day one through FW 1.0.2.
Let's hope they fix it in the next release.
Cheers,
S.

Address Book synch random disappearances

All of a sudden, some of the contacts from my computer's Address Book are missing from iCloud and my iPhone; suggestions, please!

On the Mac open System Preferences > iCloud
Deselect the box next to Contacts then reselect it then restart the Mac.
On the iPhone tap Settings > iCloud
Switch Mail off then back on then reset the iPhone.
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.
