Question about synching gmail contacts with address book

Hi,
I recently discovered that it is possible to synch gmail contacts with apple addressbook. I also found out this feature only works if you have an iphone or an ipod touch. Unfortunatly, I don't have either. I then discovered there was a work around for this:

*My question is*..............
I'm planning on getting an iphone in half a year and if i mess with these settings will i have to change them back to be able to synch my iphone? or will my iphone be able to synch with the way the new settings are anyway?
Thanks

Does your question have anything remotely to do with iWeb 09? This is an iWeb 09 forum - did you not look where you were posting?
No - so it is not relevant to this forum. Please post in somewhere that is more relevant, such as the iPhone forum or the iPad forum.

Syncing Google Gmail Contacts with Address Book and iPhone Contacts

Can anyone recommend a good way to sync Google Gmail Contacts with the Address Book on the Mac and with Contacts on the iPhone?
I tried using ABGMerge, but could not get it to work so and am looking for other options. Thanks.

The Plaxo 3 non-pubic beta application currently supports only Mozilla and FireFox 1.5 and Internet Explorer 6. Safari support, and support for updated OS X thrid-party browsers, has not yet been released. To say that there are some anomalies and visual artifacts with Safari 2, would be an understatement. But, then, I often find this to be the case with beta—particularly, pre-public beta, software.
The current release—build 356—supports these 'sync points:'
• Mac OS X through a System Preferences pane
• AOL and AIM
• LinkedIn
• mobile access
• MSN and WIndows Live
• Outlook
• Outlook Express
• Windows Mail
• Yahoo
It does not yet support Google. Or, not yet reliably or completely. The little 'hippo' that pops up periodically in the beta says, "Google Calendar Sync has been temporarily disabled. We are working diligently to resolve the problem. Sorry for the inconvenience."
The verdict at the moment: contact synchronization performs as it always has with Plaxo. Calendar synchronization is clearly not yet ready for prime-time, even to the Plaxo 3 web interface itself.

How can I import all my gmail contacts into iPad? I use iPad mini and the solutions available on the web are not compatible.

How can I import all my gmail contacts into iPad? I use iPad mini and the solutions available on the web are not compatible.

Hello and thanks for the answer.
I meant by "not compatible" that all the solutions that I found on the web did not work, especially the "Microsoft exchange" one.
Fortunately I found on the comments of the first website you mentioned the right answer for me, which I copy below:
Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account > Other > Add CardDav Account.
Enter the following information in the fields:
Server: google.com
User Name: Enter your full Google email address
Password: Your Google account password
Select Next at the top of the screen to complete the setup.
After you have completed the setup, open the Contacts app on your device. Syncing should begin automatically.
Additional Information
Note: Make sure that SSL is enabled (under Advanced settings), and that the port is 443.
If you are using application based special password go to https://accounts.google.com/Se... and instead of your password put that special code and u r done.

You should have signed in with that address in the first place, but there is a workaround: go to System preferences>Mail, Contacts@ Calendars and add your @me.com address as an account there.

Can't sync gmail contacts to ipad mini

I recently bought an ipad mini. When I added my gmail account I noticed it did not sync my contacts from gmail to the ipad mini. How is this accomplished? I've seen this question asked before but the answers so far have not worked.
Is there a simple way to do this?
Thanks in advance.

Hello, TheM8rix.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I would recommend updating your device to iOS 7 if this has not already been done. Once you have updated the device, see the steps in the article below.

How do I sync my gmail contacts with the contacts already on my iPhone?

I just bought an iPhone 5c and the dealer manually transferred all of my (gmail) contacts from my Samsung Galaxy. Now the contacts on my iPhone are no longer synced with my gmail account. If I make changes to a contact on my iPhone, that change does not show up on my laptop when I am logged into my gmail account.
Can I fix this by turning "on" the "Contacts" button under Settings > mail, contacts, calendars > Gmail > contacts > on?
When I attempt this it asks me what I want to do with the existing contacts on my phone. What do I want to do here? If I say leave the contacts on my phone will the contacts merge or will I end up with duplicates?

You must have Contacts syncing on in your Gmail account settings on the iPhone.
As to the contacts already existing in your phone, you can either merge them with those in the Gmail server or delete them whatever suits you best.

How can I sync my google/gmail contacts with my iphone 4s?

Just got an iphone today. Never used one before. Always only had droids. Looked online for how to sync google contacts with iphone, but the instructions I found didn't work for me. They said to go to itunes and select my phone from 'the list.' I see no list. I clicked on everything I saw but couldn't find any way to sync with google contacts. Any suggestions is appreciated.
P.S. All I need to do is bring my google contacts to the iphone. I don't have any iphone contacts yet so I don't need to combine them.

I think they were repyling to Ducman's suggestion, not the Google article suggestion (BTW, that article from Google is no longer needed under iOS 7, just using the standard GMail account setup in iOS now syncs your contacts).
Also, syncing contacts through iTunes is no longer possible if you're using Mavericks, in case the OP has a Mac.

Best Practice for Droid Gmail Contacts with Exchange ActiveSync?

Hi, folks. After going through an Address Book nightmare this past summer, I am attempting to once again get my Contacts straight and clean. I have just started a new job and want to bring my now clean Gmail contacts over to Exchange. The challenge is creating duplicate contacts, then defining a go-forward strategy for creating NEW contacts so that they reside in both Gmail and Exchange without duplication. Right now, my Droid is master and everything is fine. However, once I port those contacts from Gmail onto my laptop, all hell breaks loose... Does Verizon have a Best Practice finally documented for this? This past summer I spoke with no less than 5 different Customer Support reps and got 3 different answers... This is not an uncommon problem...

In parallel to this post, I called Verizon for Technical Support assistance. Seems no progress has been made. My issue this past summer were likely a result of extremely poor quality products from Microsoft, which included Microsoft CRM, Microsoft Lync (new phone system they are touting which is horrible), and Exchange. As a go-forward strategy, I have exported all Gmail contacts to CSV for Outlook and have imported them to Exchange. All looks good. I am turning off phone visibility of Gmail contacts and will create all new contacts in Exchange.

Gmail contacts with ovi chat

I successfully added gmail contacts to ovi chat at past. They got message on gmail that I want to chat with them, all fine with it. Now when I want to add some more people with gmail addresses, I get message: error: unable to add _________, Did this service stop working or what? My phone is X3-02 and I'm not talking about gmail chat, but adding gmail contacts to ovi chat, which used to work ok and now suddenly it does not. Why so???

No, the only online solution supported with Office for Mac is Microsoft Exchange.

Unable to Sync Gmail contacts with iCloud

I'm wanting to export my Gmail contacts to a vCard to import into iCloud on my computer so that all of my contacts are in iCloud. I exported all of my contacts to a vCard from Gmail, put it on my computer and dragged the file into the iCloud Contacts section. When I try to drag it over to iCloud in my browser, I get an error message stating "This vCard cannot be imported because it contains invalid contact data."
What am I doing wrong here? I only have about 250 contacts to sync, so it isn't the contact limit and it is only 28k in size, so it isn't a size limit issue either. How do I correctly import all of my contacts into the iCloud? Thanks!

I just imported contacts from gmail to icloud. Check all of your contacts or the ones you want to move, click on the more tab, click export, save the file, log into icloud , click contacts, click settings, click import, find the saved file. Contacts should import.

How do I import or sync gmail contacts with verizon messaging?

I am setting up verizon messaging on my laptop and missed the opportunity to import my gmail contacts. Is there a way to go back and import these contacts?

Hi Granto,
I am so excited to hear that you are using Verizon Messages! Verizon Messages uses your phone’s address book and contact list. It doesn’t generate a unique address book. To improve your messaging experience you can sign up for the Back Up Assistant(sm) service that allows you to back up all contacts from your primary smartphone to the Verizon Cloud. This will allow for your contacts to be synced on Verizon Messages on your tablet, PC,and web http://vz.to/1j3aYBq . Are these gmail contacts appearing on your phone?
Thanks,
