Addressbook slowness due to Gmail syncing?

Hey there,
A client of mine is having trouble where it seems to take an inordinate amount of time for a name to fill in when he addresses either an email or is working in iMessage. I think it is tied to the fact that we sync his contacts with Gmail and that he has over 2000 contacts. It really is the only thing I can pinpoint that is a common factor and could be causing the issue.
We sync Gmail contacts via carddav if that makes a difference. We moved to that after Gmail and Apple quit playing nicely earlier in the year. He is on Google Apps. This means there are both Gmail Contacts and those that are on his Mac.
He has a MacAir (4GB memory) running Mountain Lion. I was wondering if he shouldn't have the 8GB memory for his MacAir, but he really isn't running anything but the basic office applications. Although he does tend to have lots of programs open at the same time (don't get me started on that <G>). This includes the Microsoft apps which I know can be bit of memory hogs at times.
As anyone had similar experience or any recommendations as to what might be a resolution for him?
Thanks in advance for any info.

Your appleid can be any email address you want, its the e-mail BEHIND it that matters. So if you dont have your verizon email address anymore that should still be ok. Goto http://appleid.apple.com/ and click on manage account, login to your OLD WORKING appleid, and change your email to match your new email address

  • Sql query slowness due to rank and columns with null values:

        
    Sql query slowness due to rank and columns with null values:
    I have the following table in database with around 10 millions records:
    Declaration:
    create table PropertyOwners (
    [Key] int not null primary key,
    PropertyKey int not null,    
    BoughtDate DateTime,    
    OwnerKey int null,    
    GroupKey int null   
    go
    [Key] is primary key and combination of PropertyKey, BoughtDate, OwnerKey and GroupKey is unique.
    With the following index:
    CREATE NONCLUSTERED INDEX [IX_PropertyOwners] ON [dbo].[PropertyOwners]    
    [PropertyKey] ASC,   
    [BoughtDate] DESC,   
    [OwnerKey] DESC,   
    [GroupKey] DESC   
    go
    Description of the case:
    For single BoughtDate one property can belong to multiple owners or single group, for single record there can either be OwnerKey or GroupKey but not both so one of them will be null for each record. I am trying to retrieve the data from the table using
    following query for the OwnerKey. If there are same property rows for owners and group at the same time than the rows having OwnerKey with be preferred, that is why I am using "OwnerKey desc" in Rank function.
    declare @ownerKey int = 40000   
    select PropertyKey, BoughtDate, OwnerKey, GroupKey   
    from (    
    select PropertyKey, BoughtDate, OwnerKey, GroupKey,       
    RANK() over (partition by PropertyKey order by BoughtDate desc, OwnerKey desc, GroupKey desc) as [Rank]   
    from PropertyOwners   
    ) as result   
    where result.[Rank]=1 and result.[OwnerKey]=@ownerKey
    It is taking 2-3 seconds to get the records which is too slow, similar time it is taking as I try to get the records using the GroupKey. But when I tried to get the records for the PropertyKey with the same query, it is executing in 10 milliseconds.
    May be the slowness is due to as OwnerKey/GroupKey in the table  can be null and sql server in unable to index it. I have also tried to use the Indexed view to pre ranked them but I can't use it in my query as Rank function is not supported in indexed
    view.
    Please note this table is updated once a day and using Sql Server 2008 R2. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    create table #result (PropertyKey int not null, BoughtDate datetime, OwnerKey int null, GroupKey int null, [Rank] int not null)Create index idx ON #result(OwnerKey ,rnk)
    insert into #result(PropertyKey, BoughtDate, OwnerKey, GroupKey, [Rank])
    select PropertyKey, BoughtDate, OwnerKey, GroupKey,
    RANK() over (partition by PropertyKey order by BoughtDate desc, OwnerKey desc, GroupKey desc) as [Rank]
    from PropertyOwners
    go
    declare @ownerKey int = 1
    select PropertyKey, BoughtDate, OwnerKey, GroupKey
    from #result as result
    where result.[Rank]=1
    and result.[OwnerKey]=@ownerKey

  • Hi, I upgraded from iOS 5.1.1, to iOS 6, and it's ridiculously slow, I can't sync to my computer, (manually manage music), and all of my photos were gone. How can I get my photos back? It says restoring photos, but it's said that for two days now!

    Hi, I upgraded from iOS 5.1.1, to iOS 6, and it's ridiculously slow, I can't sync to my computer, (manually manage music), and all of my photos were gone. How can I get my photos back? It says restoring photos, but it's said that for two days now!

    It just does't sync. I connect it to itunes, but nothing happens. Where it says how much space I have, it's just on ebig bar that says other. I can play my music on itunes, but not when i unplug it.
    All of my photos were gone, i took and saved them with my ipod.
    The photo app is saying restoring.
    What should i do?

  • Apple GMail sync - Fail

    Getting an issue with Gmail sync on the Apple Mail client where it refuses to accept the settings. Claims the password isn't correct.
    The same password I can actually log in to Gmail in on the web version AND the same email that I can use to set up GMail on another web client. Also note that everything  else is synching OK
    It's possible that the issue could be with Google but to be honest the way Apple act these days about resolving technical faults I suspect it's them.
    Since I'm using their account adding process; since I'm able to log in to the account by other means using the same information and I've tested it on other clients; please don't bother with any patronising responses. Only reply if you actually know the fix. Or better yet if you work for Apple and have reported yet another bug.
    Any work arounds for this latest example of poor Apple product?

    There is a forum for Mail in the Snow Leopard forums. I'd recommend re-posting there if you don't get an answer here. The link to that forum is:

  • Any way to restore music and photos if iPod when all erased due to interrupted sync?

    is there any way to restore music and photos on iPod when all erased due to interrupted sync?

    You said the music and photos were all erased from the iPod? And now you say your computer and all backups are gone. There is therefore no way to recover your files short of paying thousands of dollars to a professional data recovery laboratory and even then there's no guarantee you'll get all of it – or even some of it – back.

  • 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/

  • How to sync existing contacts/calendar using Gmail sync?

    Hi,
    The instructions are very straightforward for how to set up your iPhone, using the Exchange setup, with Gmail sync.
    Now that I am set up, all of my existing contacts and calendar events on the phone have not synced over to Gmail, and I can't figure out how to make it happen.
    Ideally, I'd like to sync my existing (now inactive) 3GS with Gmail, and then, sync my new iPhone 4 up to Gmail, thereby pulling the contacts and calendar events onto the phone as well.
    Any advice would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    I have been there, but thanks just the same for the reply.
    I don't understand, but I don't know what else to do. When I made the connection, the mail synced from Gmail just fine. But the contacts and calendar have not left the phone, when I log into my Gmail account via the web, no contacts have copied there from the phone.
    Thanks anyways.

  • Is the Gmail sync option in Mac Address Book bidirectional ?

    Is the Gmail sync option in Mac Address Book bidirectional ?
    basically, If I put information directly online on Gmail Address Book will the information go on my computer's Address Book ?
    can anyone explain with his/her experience ?

    SangomaDB wrote:
    It is bidirectional, but I'm not sure how often the sync is triggered, or what triggers it. I saw some stuff on the web that talks about setting it up with Google Sync, but I have not really tried it.
    *_Question on: Is it Bidirectional ?_*
    How can you confirm it is bidirectional ? I have not seen a site that confirms that is it bidirectional.
    *_Question on: How often the sync is triggered ?_*
    ONLY when Google Sync is activated from Address Book, you will see a file created in ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.google.GoogleContactSyncAgent.plist which contains the sync schedule, which by default is 3600seconds (an hour).
    The user can change the sync schedule by editing that file using TextEdit.
    *_Duplicates using Google sync with Address Book_* ?
    I've noticed that my 2000 contacts where duplicated at least 3 times which then I had 5800 contacts about.
    Is there any way to stop that ?

  • Gmail sync and notification error z3 compact lollipop upgrade

    No Gmail sync after lollipop upgrade, no notification sound. Horrible. Could anyone help me please?

    There is sync with Gmail and mine works fine so you either have not done something or haven't enabled a settings or you have a 3rd party app causing a conflict - Your last option if the App preferences reset doesn't work is to perform a system repair
    Performing a system repair using PC Companion will often fix issues - This will factory reset your phone and erase all data so best to backup before you begin
    Switch off your phone and unplug from Pc (Hold volume up and power for around 10 seconds)
    Start PC Companion and select Support zone then Update my phone/tablet then in Blue Repair my phone/tablet and follow the on screen instructions - When prompted connect your phone still switched off holding volume down or back button - This should start the repair or reformat process
    If you are using Windows 8/8.1 or a 64bit operating system then adjust the settings for PC Companion and run in compatibility mode and chose Windows 7 or XP

  • "Favorites" Lost Apparently due to OneNote Sync

    My Internet "Favorites​" have been lost on both my laptop and desktop likely due to OneNote sync; Is restoratio​n possible?  Will System Restore recover these?

    Hi @FogeyFan 
    Thank you for your query.
    I regret that you lost your Internet  Favorites when you did the OneNote sync.
    Doing a System restore will  wipe the drive and reinstall the Operating System back to factory thus removing all your personal files and information.
    However you could try using  the Microsoft System  restore which could help if you created a restore point before you did the sync.  HP PCs - Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 8)
    Have you done a backup where you saved your Internet Favorites, if so you should be able to restore them from your backup.
    Good Luck!

  • 10.9.2 gmail sync issue

    Like many, I have been waiting for 10.9.2 to cure issues with the Mavericks Mail app when using gmail. Unfortunately, the sync issue has not changed.
    Sometimes the Mail app will sync with gmail, but many times I have to close and restart the Mail app to get new email.
    Why is it taking so long AFTER the OS release to discover and correct a fundamental bug in a fundamental app within an OS?

    To rebuild you go to the Mail pulldown menu.   Mail ->  Mailbox -> Rebuild.   I believe the rebuild will only apply to the account associated with the inbox highlighted at the time the rebuild is done.
    You can also try removing an account and recreating it, but I would try rebuilding first and see if that does it. 
    It looks like Don P. above also had his problems fixed by upgrading to 10.9.3, so I am hoping this does it for you!
    I should note that Mac mail has frequently been slow finding new mail on my work Exchange server.   This preceeded 10.9.3 for as long as we had the Exchange server at work and continues with it.   The problem I had that was fixed by 10.9.3 was that every day or two Apple Mail would completely stop syncing to a Gmail account (I have two and the stoppages seemed uncorrelated).  In order to get the syncing to restart, I had to fully quit and restart mail.
    Good luck!

  • Gmail syncs erratically, slowly with Mail App even with Mavericks 10.9.2 update--whats wrong?

    Mail on my MAC is always behind what I see on my iPhone or iPad mail. The iOS devices sync fast and accurately with Gmail: delete an email and I see it disappear on any iOS device I have. But it still shows up in the OS Mail program for a long time--often until I manually request several "syncs" to be made then it finally updates and disappears.
    Same issue for new mail: instantly shows up on the iPad and iPhone iOS Mail but seems delayed (takes 15-20 minutes or longer sometimes or I must manually request a sync).
    This does not happen all the time--occasionally it seems to sync up well. But MOST OF THE TIME it does not.
    It seems the OS Mail is slow to sync and requires prodding before it does so.
    Why can't the OS Mail app work as fast, accurately and automatically like it does on iOS Mail?
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!
    Mike
