Cant sync existing contacts with gmail, new no problems

Used the exchange setup method. I can not get my contacts to sync. If I make a new contact it pops instantly. Push is enabled....

Can't you export Google contacts as vCards > place on microSD in Asha 501 > Copy contacts > Import to phone > Files > Search for file where it has been saved on your device, and then choose it. You will get the message “Start importing contacts to your phone?” hit ‘Yes’.

How do i sync my contacts with gmail without using cloud?

I want to sync my contacts to Gmail, but iTunes tells me that I'm already syncing via the cloud, which is impossible because my Gmail account says I have alot more contacts than my phone does. So my question is, how do i sync manually without creating duplicates. Thanks

Im sorry, I left out one important detail:
I went through that a long time ago. My phone has actually synced with google before, it just refuses to do it automatically. So what I was trying to ask: is there a way to manually sync my contact to google..There are two things i suspect might be causing the problem but I dont know how to correct these issues:
1) I have multiple Gmail accounts linked to my phone so maybe there is a priority issue.
2) The cloud is taking priority over gmail, because when i check my iCloud it has all my contacts there.
So, if i just needed a backup somewhere of my contacts in case i lost/replaced my iPhone then the cloud would be just fine. However, I need them backed up in google because Im switching to a Windows phone, and google seems to be the best contact backup to use across multiple branded devices. Everyone loves Google.
An update to my situation:
Windows app store had an app that uses bluetooth to retrieve all my contacts from my iPhone. It worked wonderfully. So any insight from here on out will only benefit others with this problem that happen to read this discussion, because my issue has been resolved. Thanks for your intended help nonetheless.

I'm unable to sync my contacts with the new iPhone 5 and my 2012 Hyundai Santa Fe. Will there be a fix for this in the next update?

I previously had an iPhone 4 synced and paired with my 2012 Hyundai Santa Fe and had no issues. Now I have a new iPhone 5 and am able to sync the phone but the contacts will not update in the phone book listing for the vehicle. I've tried several times to re-sync and pair the phone to the vehicle and still the same issue. I'm able to make an receive calls but no contact information is being displayed. From all of the previous community issues reported it's not an AT&T issue, Hyundai issue, it's clearly pointing at the device (iPhone 5) being the issue.
Will there be a fix for this in the next update?
Thank you.

Thanks for your response. However, after speaking with a level 2 Apple Advisor and Hyundai there is an issue that both companies are aware of and are working towards a resolution. Here's a blurb from Hyundai that was sent to me after I spoke with Apple Advisor:
"We apologize for any inconvenience associated with the technical issues with devices connected via Bluetooth. Hyundai is aware of the iPhone losing its Bluetooth connection to the vehicle along with any function associated with it at the time. Hyundai has been able to reproduce the concern in our test vehicles and have sent all necessary information to Apple engineers. Hyundai received confirmation from Apple that they will work on debugging.
If your iPhone is 3G, 4, 4S, 5 and has one of the following iOS: 6.0, 6.1.0, 6.1.1, 6.1.2, 6.1.3, 6.1.4 or higher, you may be affected." - Hyundai Engineering

Sync iPhone contacts with Gmail contacts whille having Outlook contacts

Hi,
I am currently syncing my iPhone's contacts with itunes ->Outlook.
Which means that all my contacts being saved on my Outlook account.
I also have many people/contacts on my Gmail accound that I wish to get in to my iPhone.
BUT:
The problem is that I am afraid to sync and get many many duplicates.
There is a way to merge both without making a MASS?
Plus:
It could be really nice to have all the contacts from my iPhone backed up on my Gmail account.
Thanks!!

Do you want to sync with Outlook.com or Windows PC Outlook? I'm guessing the latter since it sounds like you prefer to protect your privacy by not synching with the cloud. Try http://www.akruto.com. I've been using it with my iPhone and iPad without any problems. Website doesn't mention iOS, but I found out from a friend that it works with iOS and it does.

While it isn't as easy to just use a Mac iDevice as media storage as Android and Windows, you can add documents and such like Word, PDF and others manually in iTunes to have them sync as well.

HELP! I have just changed my email address ad now i cant sync my ipod with the new songs I have bought

when I changed my e-mail address and got a new computer so I have downloaded iTunes and it recognizes my iPod but when I have bought 3 new songs it wouldn't let me sync the songs onto my iPod. Have tried clicking 'transfer songs' but it wont work. I don't know what else to do these are really good songs AND I've paid for them and I need them for my work. Please help, thanks for anyone who does, lauren

So basically you are trying to sync your Nano on a new computer/iTunes library? iPods are designed to sync with only one iTunes library at a time.
To add new content to the iPod, you'll need to restore the iPod to factory settings in iTunes. However, if you have content on your iPod that needs to be copied to iTunes first, see this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different ways to do this.

Cant sync def. calendar with gmail

Just today I tried to sync with google calendar from Settings/Google account, it says synced but when I go into the default Calendar app and refresh, it shows no synced calendar entries/events from gmail.

What can be done??
My phone calendar still shows just one test entry I had created.
** Downloaded Sunrise calendar it synced with my google account and showed all calender events.
But I dont want to use such 3rd party apps but only the default Calendar app.

My iphone 4 cant seem to sync my contacts with outlook 2010

I just purchased an iphone 4 and I cant sync my contacts with my outlook. Any ideas how to resolve this issue?

I think you have to choose which program you want to sync with, when your phone is pluged in and iTunes is up, go to contacts, calendars, and a drop down menu should pop up. you should be able to select outlook fom the list.

Can't sync my local contact with gmail, help please.

Hi all,
I originally had my contact on BB Bold, then when i bought Z10 i transferred the contact using bb Link, now i have another phone (Samsung Galaxy S4) and i want my contact to by synced between both using gmail, so i configured my gmail on both devices, the configuration is 100% correct because in Z10 if i open Contacts then select Gmail category, and create a new contact i find it after a while in my Samsung,
but the problem is all my contacts available in the (All) which i believe its saved locally
Best Regards,
Alaa Bayer.

Thanks alot elessar,
The problem that i moved my contact from my bold to Z10 using Link, and my contacts was saved localy in the Bold and the same in Z10, so i never used Gmail or so what ever to sync the contacts.
but now to transfer my contacts from Z10 to Samsung Galaxy S4 i wanted to sync these local contacts with Gmail, but when i configured Gmail on Z10 it creates like a different container which is ofcourse empty, so if i go to All, i see my contacts, but if i go to Gmail contacts i have nothing.
if i create a new contact in Gmail container it copied immidetly to the Samsung so sync and configurations is OK.
So my problem to move the contacts on my Z10 from Local container to Gmail container.
actully after alooooot of searches i found a solution and it worked perfectly, i installed on my Z10 a software name (IntouchApp) which can see the local container on Z10 and sync them to IntouchApp servers then install the same softwar in my Galaxy and sync the contacts, then on the galaxy i exported the contacts to SD Card, then import it to Gmail, and finally i got my contacts on Gmail.
i don't know why Blackberry completly separate the contacts as containers and there is no option to transfer from one to another.
in any way i just sold out my Z10 yesterday and bye bye blackberry for every.

It was fine with my C3 nokia phone.
Remind: in gmail contact you can import csv or vcard file. And moreover, you can also export to backup (or whatever) your contacts.

Hey Guys:
Got a c3 last week when my bb went if for repairs (I am a contractor and even with a otter box it got wet!! Go figure we live in the pacific northwest!!)
Anyways thank you to whoever posted this tip. Sounds like it is working for everyone except me!!
Heres the deal:
-I have tried 3 times
-first time sync went to 71%
-2nd and 3rd time sync went to 92%
Suggestions??
I am going to check out gmail some more. Also watchtower or something (BB backup security software thing). It sucks I lost 500+ business contracts but should have back in a week or so once rogers repairs.
Cheers,

Mavericks will not sync Apple Contacts with Google, Linkedin, and Facebook?

I just upgraded to Mavericks. Here is what I find shocking...
1. Mavericks will NOT sync Apple Contacts with Google Contacts and vice-versa.
2. During the upgrade, Mavericks linked some of my Apple Contact cards with Google Contacts, but not all of them. It need to be clarified that linking is not syncing. Worse, it corrupted data, and deleted some of the contacts on Google Contacts.
3. Similarly, Apple Contacts will not sync with Linkedin or Facebook Contacts.
4. When I contacted Apple, Level 1 support had not idea and assumed that adding a Google Account with automatically sync Apple Contacts with Google Contacts as it did in OS Mountain Lion. Level 2 support did not have much of an idea either, but called me this morning to say that the matter has been escalated, and confirmed that OS X Maverick does NOT sync Apple Contacts with Google Contacts.
CAUTION before upgrading to Mavericks:
5. Your Google Contacts / Android devices will not be updated by Apple Contacts, and vice-versa.
6. Your Facebook / Linkedin contats will not be updated by Apple Contacts, and vice-versa.
The workaround:
7. Before upgrade, ensure that your Mountain Lion or earlier address book in synced with Google Contacts.
8. After upgrade, go to Contacts > Preferences > General > Default Account, and choose your Google Account as your default account. You will now add New Contact (or update existing Google Contacts) in Google Contacts, which your android devices can sync with. You will also see your Google Contacts in Apple Contacts. However, Apple Contacts will NOT sync with Google Contacts and vice-versa.
Welcome to Mavericks...

With all due respect @McFly_Marty, kindly do not mislead readers. As funny as it may sound, but you have been taken for a royal ride by Apple Support. Keep in mind that the tough taskmaster Steve Jobs, is no longer there, and it is no surprise that Apple’s innovations are sliding.
You probably have chosen Google as your default account under "Contacts > Preferences > General > Default Account”.
Now, when you add New Contact (or update existing Google Contacts) in Google Contacts, you will also see your Google Contacts in Apple Contacts. However, Apple Contacts will NOT sync with Google Contacts and vice-versa.
Try disabling your Google account in Apple Contacts, and all your new contacts are no longer in Apple contacts. Therefore Apple contacts is not syncing with Google Contacts.
Therefore, read the following from my original post again.
“1. Mavericks will NOT sync Apple Contacts with Google Contacts and vice-versa.
4. When I contacted Apple, Level 1 support had no idea and assumed that adding a Google Account will automatically sync Apple Contacts with Google Contacts as it did in OS Mountain Lion. Level 2 support did not have much of an idea either, but called me this morning to say that the matter has been escalated, and confirmed that OS X Maverick does NOT sync Apple Contacts with Google Contacts.

6. Your Facebook / Linkedin contacts will not be updated by Apple Contacts, and vice-versa.

You will now add New Contact (or update existing Google Contacts) in Google Contacts, which your android devices can sync with. You will also see your Google Contacts in Apple Contacts.

How do you sync an iPhone with a new computer?

I know this question has been posted on this forum countless times, but none of the responses seemed to help me. I need a simple and clear answer on how to sync my iPhone to a new computer. I used to sync my iPhone with a Mac, but I got a new laptop running Windows 8 and I want to sync my iPhone with this new laptop. All the responses on this site tell me to download some sort of software to extract the data from my iPhone, but none of them seem to be free. My old Mac is still intact, so I can still use it if I need to. All of this is really confusing. Sorry if I'm being really ignorant about all of this, I just really need some help.

Welcome to the discussions,
a manual backup should help to transfer your data and apps.
Disable autosync in itunes, connect your phone, right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your phone without syncing and save data, pictures taken with the phone and settings to the new itunes library.
See what's included in this backup here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
After that, transfer your purchases the same way by choosing "transfer purchases", to copy all apps and bought media from the Store to your computer.
Set up at least one contact and event on your computer to be able the merge your calendars and contacts after your phone got wiped during the first sync.
The rest of the data can be restored again from the manual backup you made before.
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0
Restoring: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
Apps can be downloaded again for free, in case you missed some: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
