Contacts and Google question

Can someone describe to me how your contacts and synching them with Google work? I noticed today that some contacts were missing on my iPhone after I deleted than re-set up my phone with Microsoft Exchange. Most numbers and calendars will all synched.
I assumed that any contact you enter in your phone would automatically get stored with Google and re-synch anytime. Thanks for clarification.
*Also, aside from Google synching, are there also contacts in iTunes that are synching with my phone?

* ITunes are just a tool to sync with default program that can contain contacts. For mac it can be Address book or Contacts. for windows - outlook, yahoo, Google, windows contacts.

Carddav syncing between apple contacts and google apps

I set up carddav syncing between my macbook's contacts app and google apps contact.
Now I got 2 accounts into contacts, a local one ("on my mac") and the google one.
There are 2 contacts groups, for when I open a card contacts tell me the contact is both on my mac and on google contacts.
The strangest thing is that when I set up carddav syncing between contacts and google apps automatically the iCloud contacts sycing got activated.
I try to deactivate it but then it goes on by itslef again.
My questions would be: can I get rid of the local group of contacts, I am not interested into? I just want one group of ontacts, the one which syncs with google apps. As a matter of fact, when viewing a contact with 2 cards, the contacts app merges the two card together and it's a mess, I cannot see modification from the server.
What is the point in having iCloud syncing on? I am not using it at all.
How does the syncing work? Is it sort of push or does it work every certain amount of time?
Thank you.

Try going to Settings>iCloud on your iPad, turn contacts off, choose Delete from My iPad when prompted (any iCloud contacts will still be in iCloud), then turn contacts on again and choose Merge when prompted. Then go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the contacts section) and make sure it's set to your iCloud account. Then add a test contact on your iPad and see if it syncs properly now.

Multiple GMail Accounts Contacts and Calendar Questions

I have a few GMail accounts, one of which I just created to keep a cleaned up version of my contacts on which leads me to my first question.
Is there a way to set the iPhone 3G up to be able to use my Contact list from GMail account A and yet when I click on Mail it gathers mail from GMail account B?
Also has anyone been able to setup Push communication with Google Calendar to be able to sync Google Calendar back and forth with the iPhone 3G without using software like Outlook?

Someone must have multiple GMail accounts; I am going to tamper around tonight and see what I can come up with but my main GMail account has contacts that don't need to be on my phone (and I can cut my list in half easily by getting rid of them).

Url and google questions

My website http://www.thewalkforwater.com always lists http://www.thewalkforwater.com/W4W3.html in the browser window when the page loads. I understand there is nothing i can do about the extra bit /W4W3.html showing up there, correct?
Additionally, I wonder--when I want to mail a link to the page, mail always fills the subject line for me: "Walk for Water The cost to children is unacceptable. You Can Help"
Do I have any control over that text? and if so, where do I can I change it. It seems burdensome and long. I use Rage SEO tools. Do I do it there somehow?
It's kind of the same question--if I google Walk for Water text from last year's walk fills the google search result, but links to the webpage that has current info. I just updated the site within the last week to change to this year's walk info. Will it take Google time to find that?
Thanks for your insight on these questions!

To answer your question of why it read "Walk for Water" and the line beneath that says "The cost to children is unacceptable" in iWeb SEO Tool, is because in iWeb, whatever you type into the large heading at the top of the page becomes your title tag.
In this case, you must have typed Walk for Water, and then pressed the return key so that the next line says "The cost to children is unacceptable." (I don't actually see that on your page right now, but when I tested this in iWeb, and then in iWeb SEO Tool, the same thing happened to me.
Just a heads up on editing your code in an HTML editor: If you want to go back and update something on your site in iWeb, you will need to repeat whatever it is you edited in the HTML editor once again.
For your title tag, I notice that it is currently Walk4Water3. This is not a good title to have, as it is not a title that is considered optimized for search engines. What you want to do, as the tool suggests, is include 2 to 3 keywords that are related to your site. Think about what the people of Lake Oswego might type into the search engines if they maybe saw a sign on the road for the walk, but wanted to learn more about it. What would they type into Google?
There are many more SEO tips to help optimize your site. You can find a lot of information by doing a Google search, or you can watch a step by step video tutorial on SEO for iWeb.

Contacts and iCloud question(s)-

1) I have TWO iCloud accounts – one with a user “me.com” from my MM migration and a gmail.com user name from when I set up iCloud originally. My iMac is connected to both accounts but is showing that the me.com address is my “primary” iCloud account. I can log in to iCloud via the web on both accounts. Is there any way to get rid of one of them? I can see this becoming a big problem later and believe that this may be part of my other problem…
2) I have a new iPhone with all my contacts from my old iPhone. I deleted the contacts on my iMac in the hopes that I can transfer/sync from my iPhone to my iMac. When I deleted my contacts from my iMac it deleted all the contacts in iCloud (I know, I know...). All the suggestions where you go through iTunes and turn off the auto sync and manually sync the contacts in the hopes that the contacts are ‘merged’ has not worked. All I want to do is get the contacts from my phone onto my iMac and or iCloud so my contacts can propagate to the other devices – is there an easy way of doing this or am I just waiting for my empty address book in iCloud to wipe out my iPhone contacts?
Thanks in advance!

Update...
1) Second account abandoned and all devices pointing to 'main' iCloud account.
2) Turned off iCloud sync on iPhone and iPad - turned off iPhone and iPad (they have the same contact list roughly) - turned on iPhone - turned on iCloud sync of contacts - hit "Merge" - success. Contacts are now in iCloud and on iMac as well as all of my other devices ~ **whew**

IPhone 6, manual sync of contacts and calendar with Google?

I usually prefer a manual sync of things like contacts and calendar with Google, rather than an automatic periodic sync. I don't change my calendar or contact list very often, so manual sync works best for me. I could do this with Android, but with iOS if I sync contacts and calendar with Google, and then turn off that syncing, iOS wants to remove my Google contacts and Google calendar events from my phone. So I seem to have no choice, either auto-sync, or no Google contacts and calendar events at all.
Does anyone out there know of a way to manually sync my Google contacts and calendar events when I want to?
How often does the Google calendar and contacts sync get done? Maybe it isn't an issue, if it only does a sync when I change my Google contact list or Google calendar?
Anyways, I really don't like automatic, periodic syncing to a web site happening on my phone if I don't need them to happen.
Thanks.

I can help you with your calendar problem.
You'll need to export your calendar from google into iCal, and then start making all your changes to your iCal calendar.
I wrote up the procedure with some screenshots here!
http://take-a-tech-tip.blogspot.com/2011/10/icloud-moving-google-calendars-to.ht ml
I hope it helps.
About your contacts, I'm not sure I'd be able to give you good instructions since I haven't done the whole procedure myself. I did however, have my Address Books contacts synced with Google.
This post might help you. It talks about moving Google Contacts to your Address Book.
http://take-a-tech-tip.blogspot.com/2011/09/iphone-google-contacts-sync-and.html
That should get your contacts from Google to your address book. Then, you can set up iCloud to have your contacts synced, and that should put them to iCloud. You can check by going to icloud.com and seeing if it worked. Then, I imagine you would have to disable the Google syncing with your Address Book (if I remember correctly, your computer will tell you it has to do this once you enable iCloud syncing for contacts).

Still unable to download itunes to my pc. Tried with IE, Mozilla and Google Chrome. Keep getting an error message :"Windows cannot open itunes.exe the file is corrupt contact support."previous itunes files were wipped out by "disk cleaner." Any help??
Please!
Thanks!

If anyone is reading this still looking for what caused the issue and how to fix it here is what I discovered.
The antivirus program our company uses, Bitdefender Antivirus Plus, was causing some of the PDF files not to open. After troubleshooting the different modules and settings the culprit was..
Scan SSL in Privacy Control Settings. Turning it OFF solved the problem and all the PDF files that previously would not open now open just fine. This issue has been sent to Bitdefender for them to review. If you use a different antivirus program and are having this issue try locating the Scan SSL setting and see if turning it off solves the problem.

Google calender and google contacts won't sync AGA...

I am getting very tired of Nokia now!
Actually I've had it with Nokia!
One last Change,
My wife and I have now received Nokia phones number 4 and 5 from the care center.
I now have a E7-00 with a poorly responsive touchscreen,
my wife now has a N8, wich just again is different than her previous.
I'm still haven't been able to find out whether the touchscreen is broken or...
Namely because I can hardly use the phone, again google calender and google contacts won't sync.
Got it to work last time around, but things (espacialy with Nokia) change.
Can somebody, Please, give me the page with the CORRECT instructrons? for the e7-00 and the N8?
I am very tired of clicking pages wich do not contain the anwsers.
Meanwhile, my friends and colleagues laugh at me, with their smasung's, HTC 's, LG 's, and iPhone's.
Which all sync (nearly) hassle-free with all they want.
Help

Hi Gucky66,
Thanks for your post and welcome to the forum.
Please reset and update the phone to fix any software issues you're experiencing on both your E7 and N8.
Connect your phone to Nokia Suite and create a back up via Tools > Back up.
Now disconnect the phone from Nokia Suite and enter *#7370# and default security code 12345 into your phone. Once the phone has rebooted, please reconnect with Nokia Suite and click on the green arrow icon where you will be able to update the phone to it's latest software version. If no update is listed, please reinstall the current software. This option is displayed in blue.
When the updated has completed, please restore the back up via Restore > Back up.
You should now have a fully working phone. If you're still experiencing difficulties with your Email account, please delete the account and reconfigure, you can do this via Menu > Mail > Select the email account > Long press > Delete mailbox.
If the above doesn't work, please contact your local Care line where they will be able to look at your previous repairs and look for a solution.
Please get back to me if you manage to resolve the issue, otherwise I can provide further support.

Google Calendar and Google Contacts

On a previous Android phone (T-Mobile's G2), there were two apps, Google Calendar and Google Contacts. When I first got the Incredble 2 in June, I thought I remembered seeing a Google Calendar app, but now it is no longer there.
I'm interested in the Google Calendar app because I'm wondering if my syncing issues (see earlier post) is related to this? (Verizon's Calendar app is not syncing phone created events to my Google calendar).
Thanks.

I do see a Calendar application in my app drawer on the Tbolt. It too has been skinned with HTC Sense and doesn't look like the stock android calendar application. The stock android widget for the Calendar should still be available on the DROID Incredible 2.
Perhaps those are the differences you are seeing when you compare the T-Mobile G2 to the Droid Incredible 2.
i beleive your correct
the g2 was vanilla android
any phone thats not will usually have skins, and be diff

Google contacts and calendar events entered on my iPhone 5s are not syncing with my google account.

Newly entered contacts and calendar events entered on my IPhone 5s are not syncing to google.
Facts that may be pertinent:
- I switched from the iPhone 4 to the iPhone 5s and did the easy option of having it automatically set up like my previous phone, so I did not change any part of the setup. It is possible that it stopped syncing at that time, based on which contacts have synced and which haven't.
- My gmail account is set up as Exchange, with Mail, Contacts, and Calendars set to sync.
- Server: m.google.com, Use SSl is on, S/MIME is off (I don't actually know what these are, but maybe they matter?)
- Fetch New Data / Gmail account is set to Push
- Contacts and Calendar Default Account is Gmail
- In the Contacts app under Groups I have only GMAIL checked.
I've read that Google recommends CardDAV, which I gather is not the same as Exchange?
I'm afraid to delete anything and start over, for fear of losing my contacts.
Is there a difference between the gmail account I set up and what the Contacts app calls GMAIL?
If there is anything I should communicate about how things are set up on the Google end, let me know.
Thanks in advance for help!

Hello Marsden,
Try this...
Go to the isync program on your Mac.
Go to Preferences in the main menu
Hit Reset Sync History
I'm pretty sure this is how I fixed it... so far so good.
Let me know if that works for you!

Syncing only Address Book and Google Contacts - nothing happens?

I've been trying to set up Address Book/iSync to sync my contacts between Google Contacts and Address Book. I have the Google account information configured correctly in Address Book Preferences -> Synchronize with Google Account but when I go over to iSync and hit "Sync Now" as the instructions tell me to, nothing seems to happen. That is, the sync icon spins for a couple of seconds and then stops, but no changes have been made to either set of contacts.
Have I missed a setting somewhere? I used to have a palm device configured, but I deleted it because I got an iPhone - could something be screwball because of that?

Huh. Apparently I have to have my iPhone connected, then it will sync everything including the Google contacts. Funny that it wouldn't sync without it.
So I guess the moral of the story is to make sure that everything is connected and if you have an iPod/iPhone, initialize the sync through iTunes. Bizzare.
Now to go through and the duplicates...

I am running Windows 8. Although my contacts and notes from my Ipod touch show up on icloud my calendar entries do not show up even though they do show up in my Google calendar and my windows phone calendar. Any suggestions not already covered in trouble shooting articles?

As I mentioned earlier, you have to decide which calendar you want to use. You can either use Google or iCloud, but not both.
If you want to use your iCloud calendar, go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Calendar section) and set this to your iCloud calendar. After doing so, all new events you add to your calendar will be added by default to your iCloud calendar, and as a result, will appear on icloud.com and your computer (if it is syncing calendars with your iCloud account).
If, on the other hand, you want to use your Google calendar (as it sounds like you are doing with your iPod), simply add the same Google calendar to your phone and your computer.

How does manual fetching of google contacts and calendar work?

In an effort to possibly save some battery life and/or just use the product as intended I would like to know how this works exactly. At this point I only have two email accounts I use. Yahoo and GMail, with GMail being my primary account. Gmail is the only calendar option I use as well.
I don't add contacts often, nor do I make tons of calendar entrys every day. So when I look into the settings for mail, contacts and calendar, then fetch new data (which shows push as on, which I want) and then advanced, the only two things listed on the fetch schedule are google calendar and google contacts. iCloud and Yahoo mail are listed as push.
So can I set the fetch schedule to manual as opposed to hourly (the longest setting) due to the fact that I am not in constant need or hourly need really of updates to either? Or will calendar notifications fail to show up on time and all my contacts disappear or something?
Battery life or not, if I could have both be "push" I would, as it seems counterintuitive not to, but so does manually looking out every hour for changes to something that likely hasn't changed.

Going to reply to myself on this one, I tryed switching everything to manual fetch today, and at least with respect to contacts, it appears to only go out and sync when the contacts are opening (ie I saw the spinning wheel and watched a contact I had made while in airplane mode on the phone show up online). So I think that it would work the same for calendar entrys.
