Address book to google sync  does not work

I use Google apps as my primary calendar and address book. I have them synced to the Mac OS X ical and address book (to use off line). I have the Mac OS X ical and address book synced to mobile me to update other computers and my iphone.
The net result is everything matches the Google apps calendar and address book.
Well, not so fast.
The calendar does work as expected.
In the Mac OS X address book, the Google sync option does not sync (you can enter in your user name and password fine, it appears to make connection fine, but it does not sync). The mobile me does sync as expected.
It is simple, there is not a lot you can do wrong, it just does not work.
As a work around, I am using Googles over the air sync to iPhone which does work, but that means the mac address book is getting skipped.
When does the checked Synchronize with Google happen in address book? When you open address book? Why does the option only appear if you have an iPhone? How do I get the address book to google sync to work?
Any ideas?
thanks
bob

Mine actually performs the sync, but after a few rounds of syncing, some contacts get deleted, some get their photos removed, some get duplicated, and some get removed from groups. The sync basically puts my address book through a blender. I'm syncing both with MobileMe and Google. Well, that is I tried to. I've decided not to sync with Google since that's what seems to initiate the mess.

  • ICal: 'Open in Address Book' Function for 'Attendees' does not Work

    iCal lets you drag a Contact from Address Book to the 'Attendees' field of an iCal Event. (You can also put the information into the field by typing the first few letters of the person's name, and Address Book will automatically populate the field with contacts containing those letters.) When you click on a contact in 'Attendees' and select 'Open in Address Book', it is supposed to open the contact's information in Address Book (in case you needed their phone number, forgot their wife's name, etc.). In the previous version of iCal, this ALMOST worked; it would find someone in Address Book, but it would be the first person in your Address Book list with that first name; not always the person you wanted.
    The problem now is that when you click on a contact in 'Attendees' and select 'Open in Address Book', it simply opens the Address Book application and stops there; it does not go to the contact's data in Address Book. I sent Apple feedback on this problem 3 years ago, and again a few months ago, but it still does not work correctly. Does this work correctly for anyone?

    Hello mail4bru,
    I read your post, and it sounds as though you'd like to learn more about iTunes syncing. I have linked to an article that will instruct you on that:

  • Address book of my mac does not show all my contacts in iphone. What do i do??

    Address book of my mac does not show all my contacts in iphone. What do i do??

    iCloud, which replaced MobileMe, requires OS X Lion (10.7.5) or higher.  You will need to upgrade to OS X Lion higher in order to set up iCloud on your Mac.  First check to see if your system meets the system requirements to upgrade.
    Lion system requirements are:
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available space
    Mountain Lion and Mavericks requirements are the same, as listed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5842.
    If you can run Mavericks, you can download a free upgrade from the Mac App Store.  If your system can only run Lion, you can go here to purchase a redemption code to download it from the Mac App Store.  If you prefer Mountain Lion for software compatibility reasons, you can go here to purchase a redemption code to download it from the Mac App Store.
    After upgrading, you will find iCloud in System Preferences>iCloud on your Mac, and can set it up as explained here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/mac.html.
    Before upgrading, you may want to check the compatibility of your existing applications by checking here: http://roaringapps.com/apps:table.   Also be aware that older PPC programs such as AppleWorks and Office 2004 for Mac will not run on OS X Lion or higher.

  • Address Book sharing via MobileMe does not seem to work

    I am trying to share my address book with my wife's Mac and here iPod touch. We both have a Mobile Me account (via the Family Pack). So I shared my address book and invited her. All worked so far. But: while my address book shows up on her Mac it appears to be empty. No addresses, nothing.
    I looked up the /Library/Application Support/Address Book/ folder on my iDisk which address book sharing has created. There's an "info" and a "dateFile" file there as well as a "Peoples" subfolder. The latter contains folders from 1 to 31 but all are empty so it appears that somehow my Mac is not sharing my addresses.
    Has anybone here an idea what could be the problem or where I should search for the cause of this behavior?

    OK, solved this myself by deleting the whole Address Book database and reimporting my contacts not from an archive but a previously exported vCard. It seems the database was simply damages somehow.

  • Can't search contacts + Google synch does not work

    (1) The search field in contacts does not work. I have to go the phone app, find the person in there, then open up the contact from the phone app.(2) I have synched Google contacts with the phone's contacts. Updates to the phone's contacts transfer across sometimes immediately, but sometimes the phone goes for one month without synching. No manual sync is possible. Basically every time I want to sync a single contact for sure onto Google and onto other devices I have delete the account and reload it. Are there solutions to either of these problems?

  • How to fill out the clipboard under "about:support" when enter button does not work in address bar? Thearrow button does not work either?

    My enter btton does not work in the address bar or search engine. I have done the restart in safe mode...deleted and reinstalled firefox...done the malware/adware checks...still no improvement.
    I was asked to do the "about:support" then click enter for the clipboard to paste the system notes into. That is not an option however because the orginal problem is the enter button not working. Ideas?

    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problem.
    See "Creating a profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
    If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over problems.

  • Sync does not work- multiple desktop FF

    Sync does not allow adding more than one DESKTOP FF in order to sync multiple desktop FF (e.g: work, home, & friends , etc..)
    I do not like to use an add-on.

    Sync doesn't care about the type of device (desktop vs laptop vs phone) when trying to add a new device to a Sync account. Please explain what you want to do with Sync with a little more detail.

    Hello Oliver,
    I know this is 2 years old, I have a Mac Pro from 2007. I just updated to Lion so I can use Adobe CC software. iCal has been trying to update, or upgrade as it says, and it's showing like it's doing something but it doesn't respond. Have to force quit. It's been 4 days now. I use ical extensively in my business. Any ideas on how to fix that?
    thanks,
    Scott
