Clarification with Google Sync and Gmail account

I recently linked my gmail account to my phone and prior to this i was using google sync to link my google calendar and phone calendar. After adding my gmail i began to get multiple contacts and calandar entries...Does anyone know why?

Hello,
Currently, the BIS system provides for the wireless synchronization of Calendar and Contacts with Google, with no need to synchronize via USB tether via the Desktop Software. So, if you have activated this new BIS feature AND also have some other channel for loading that information to your BB, that would indeed result in duplication. You will need to shut one or the other off and just have one channel for synchronizing that data.
Good luck!

Can Icloud sync with google calendar and gmail?

We use google calendar at my office and share it with our staff. I thought we would be able to sync those calendars with icloud and google. Before icloud, I set up an exchange account on Ipad, iphone, imac and it works well for calendar and email. I thought I could replace that sync with icloud, but it seems to not be designed that way. Should google calendar and gmail users stick with google?

THANK YOU ithos!
I have searched and searched to try and find a way to sync my Google calendars with iCloud.
You don't exactly say how to make this happen, but you gave me enough nuggets to put it together. Thank you for responding and helping me put it all together.
I have 5 Google calendars (Family, Work, Church, Extended Family Birthdays, US Holidays). My wife, two different assistants and I all share and update the calendars. I want all this to continue since it affects every aspect of my life. I sit at a PC at work and need to be able to view all those calendars during the work week, I also need to be able to view and edit from work (pc), iPhone, wife's iPhone, assistants computers, and our home (mac). So, staying Google - for now, is what I need.
I just upgraded to the 4S and Siri is one of the main reasons. Without iCloud syncing with my calendars Siri is USELESS with calendaring stuff. So, I have to have Siri able to view my calendars as well.
So, with that info, here's how I got it all to work.
For those of you who need a start to finish explanation, here it is:
1. Computer running the OS Lion (mine's an iMac)
2. Open iCal on the Mac
3. Open your Google Calendar
4. In iCal go to iCal --> Preferences --> Accounts.
Make sure iCloud is listed under Accounts. This was my default, so I didn't have to make any changes. If yours lists something different, sorry. I don't know how to change it. But I believe this is a KEY component as ithos above mentions that the subscription be 'located' on iCloud.
5. In iCal go to Calendar --> Subscribe
This will force a pop up asking you for the URL of the calendar you are trying to subscribe to.
Where do you find this URL? I found this article from 2006 that gives the low down:
http://www.tuaw.com/2006/04/13/howto-subscribe-to-a-google-calendar-using-ical/
Don't worry, even though it's from 2006 it still works. Here are the steps in a nutshell, but you should read the short article so you don't miss anything.
6. In Google Calendar you need to dig into EACH calendar that you want to 'Subscribe to' and find the unique URL for that calendar. This will allow you to then force iCal to look at and scrape the data from this calendar as often as every 5 minutes. As you follow the articles steps (they are very easy) then your iCal calendar will populate with the Google calendar data from the calendar you subscribed to. I had to do this for EACH calendar I wanted to show up on my iCal calendar.
7. I then grabbed my iPhone and asked Siri, "What does my day look like tomorrow?" She responded with all my iCal / iCloud (which are all subscribed to my Google calendars) calendar data. I smiled
This ONLY allows the Google info to be pushed to iCal / iCloud. It doesn't allow the info to go the other way.
It won't let Siri manipulate the iCal/iCloud calendar or the Google calendar. But at least Siri can see what's already there. So, a step in the right direction.
Good luck!

Having trouble with my mail and gmail account

it doesnt receive my emails from gmail the inbox for some reason gets the messages sent by me to other people and old messages by that

Have you checked your Gmail account preferences via webmail access using a browser?

Is it possible to make the delete button work properly with google apps hosted gmail accounts?

The subject says it all. This has been ungoing problem for YEARS. Has anyone come up with a fix or work around? It is ridiculously annoying to have to come home and delete 100 messages I already saw over the course of the day and know are worthless...

Unfortunately I do not have that option.
That screen gives me the following:
Account
Mail on/off
COntacts on/off
Calendars on/off
Mail days ot sync
Mail folders to push
Delete account
That is all I have.
If I go into account form there I have:
Email:
Server:
Domain:
Username:
Password:
Description
Use SSL on/off
That is all I have.

Google them to confirm the settings that you need for the outgoing server, then check the setting you entered on the pad. Pay real close attention to the outgoing server name, and port. You may need to change in on the pad.

Sync issues with Google Calendar and e-mail alerts

Hello,
I'm experiencing a lot of problems with iCal while I'm trying to sync it with Google Calendar. I have correctly inserted my Google account information into iCal, but:
when I create a new event and I disable the e-mail alert and save it, it automatically turns on the e-mail alert! Is there a way to disable by default all alerts? I have already tried to go to Settings - Advanced and select “Disable all alerts” with no result;
all the events I create into iCal are correctly synced with Google Calendar and I can correctly read them on the web app, but in my android device they don't have the time information (they are listed as all-day events)

GooSync would do the trick - http://www.goosync.com/
Plz be aware that Goosync nor Google Contacts supports all field from your phone so it is not an 100% backup unfortunately

Sync OSX Reminders with Google task and OSX Notes with Android's Memo

Hi all!
I have recently moved to OS X and I was wondering if there is a way to sync Reminders with Google Task and Notes with Android's Memo. I can see the question has been asked in past for a different OS X (I'm on Maverick) but I couldn't find a solution that works.
I have currently my Calendar sync'ed with Google Calendar: if I choose "Accounts..." in Reminders I can tick "Mail", "Contacts", "Calendars", "Messages" and "Notes" but I can't see "Tasks".
Is there a way to set this?
Thanks in advance!

Cheers for that BikeMystery. So yeah, if you mainly use Google Services then the only way to get Reminders and Notes syncing between OSX ML and your iOS deviceis to activate Notes and Reminders under iCloud and create an @me address and an iCloud calendar. That's a bit pants really.
If you do have an Exchange or Yahoo! account set up in Mail, Contacts & Calendars does that allow Notes & Reminders to sync with iOS without iCloud?

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.
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 contacts will not be updated by Apple Contacts, and vice-versa.
The workaround:
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.

You don’t need to do that. Click here and follow the instructions, or if they don't cover the type of adware on the computer, these ones. If you're willing to download software to resolve this issue(you don't need to, but may find it easier), you can instead run Adware Medic; this link is a direct download.

My iMac won't Accept My AOL Account and Gmail Account

For some reason my iMac won't accept new emails from my AOL and Gmail accounts which was weird since it was able to yesterday. I read from one of the post on the Apple community threads that I could delete the accounts on the Account section in Preferences and just reenter them which I tried to do but I can't reenter the AOL account because it's saying it can't "verify" the account/password (And I know that I didn't put down the wrong password) and it'll accept the Google account but it won't accept the Gmail part.
Now I have a Mail app on my iMac that won't accept my AOL or Gmail accounts and I don't know what to do. So far my iPhone doesn't have a problem with reading emails and I can still look at the emails through the websites but I want to be able to use the Mail app)

Hi sierra42,
I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues with your iMac. I also apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact verification message you are receiving. If it is regarding verification of the outgoing mail server, you may find the information and steps outlined in the following article helpful:
Mail (Yosemite): Verify an account’s outgoing mail server
On the other hand, if it is regarding your email account user name or password, then this article may be more useful:
If Mail on your Mac keeps asking for your password - Apple Support
If you continue to have issues with your Mail accounts, you may also find these articles of use:
If you can’t send or receive email on your Mac - Apple Support

Integrating iCloud with Google Sync?

For a long time, I've had my iPhone sync with Google Calendar and Google Contacts via Exchange. I've also had iCal and Address Book on my Mac sync with Google Calendar and Google Contacts using their own built-in Google synchronization options.
Now that I've upgraded my iPhone to iOS 5, and I'm about to upgrade my Mac to OS 10.7.2, I'm nervous about how well iCloud, Exchange, and the Mac-Google syncing options will cooperate. I don't want duplicates and I definitely don't want to lose any data.
Has anyone else successfully handled this configuration? Any suggestions?

Also check out SyncMan to sync from Address Book's iCloud to Google:
http://wateree.net/syncman/
When you're on iCloud, confirm that all of your addresses are there. To move contacts from "On My Mac" to "iCloud" just put them in a group, an then drag that group over. Then finally you can delete the "On My Mac" contacts entirely, with everything only in the syncing "iCloud" section.
Then if you want that same content in Google Contacts you can run SyncMan. I used it last week and it ran fine -- syncing contacts that are in "iCloud." I have no "On my Mac" group, at all.

Hi,
I found a similar thread and a solution:
Back up all your code / projects etc.
Close outlook.
Search for VbaProject.OTM (or whatever file is used to store your projects, there may be more than one)
It should be [Drive]:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Outlook
Move this file to another location.
Open outlook.
Go into VBA and recreate your projects from your backups.
You should now be able to bring up the digital signature option without it crashing.
This seems to apply to both Outlook 2010 64 bit and Outlook 2013 64 bit.
