Gmail Exchange Account for Contacts

I set up my 4s contacts to come from my gmail exchange account.  How do I get it to sync if I make a change in gmail on my computer?  Do I need to turn the contact options off then back on?  I'm sure there's an easier way!

If you set up your Gmail account as an Exchange account on the phone, any changes made should sync "automagically" over the air. You don't need to do anything.

  • HT2480 set up gmail-exchange account to save contacts now what to do ???? years of contacts

    set up gmail - exchange account to save contacts.....now what to do ..lost phone and no support between google and exchange  ????

    If contacts were synced with Gmail, they are in Gmail.
    Gmail does not and has never synced directly to an Exchange server.

    how do you set up and exchange account for google mail

    If it's a free gmail account, you don't. Google no longer permits free accounts to be set up using Exchange Active Sync. Only paid google apps accounts can be set up as Exchange accounts.

  • HT3748 Can't access gmail exchange account with iPhone 5s

    Cannot get messages on gmail exchange account.  Error message:  cannot connect with server.

    Thank for comments.  I have fiddled around with oarental control and if I remove the web restriction its fine; when I put it back on its a problem.  I tried adding the addresses to the acceptable list, but it must be the https that is the problem.
    Instead of WebMail, setup the Account in Mail App, either POP or IMAP, then you'll have control of who they can eMail, & once you OK ot they can get/send eMails.
    I have set up in Mail, but not sure how that gives me control of who they can eMail.  Can you say a bit more on that?
    Thanks

  • Google added as Exchange Account (mail, contacts, cal), issues with contact #'s resolving to Names.

    Google added as exchange account (mail, contacts, calendar), all works except contact correlation. Meaning somebody calls me, it's in the contact list but does not show name just the #. Same for outbound calls..search contacts, tap #, phone shows I'm dialing # versus contact name. This is completely goofy. I had a previous emplorers Exchange account working perfectly before I had to delete it. I removed all email accounts from iPhone and started fresh with adding Google as Exchange 'type' account.

    Ok I fixed this problem. Within Google under contacts I had imported 1,200+ contacts and they all showed up there, on my iPad and iPhone. But on the phone name and # would not correlate. I discovered that by editing a contact (within Google contacts page) it would mark it as 'My Contacts' in addition to being Imported on xx/xx/xx. Once I did this, magically my iphone call log would display the name of the contact I edited/reclassified as 'My Contacts'. So I reclassified all the contacts as 'My Contacts' and now have full functionality. End of **** story and hope this helps somebody else.

  • No default account for contacts

    Hello
    Iphone 4s with ios 7.0.4, no jail.
    I have carddav account with baikal server and want to have default contacts from it. But the "default account" for contact is disappeared
    Please, somebody tell me when I wrong?
    Thank You

    If you do not have a "Default Account" box it is because only one account for the contacts exists on your device.

  • Multiple exchange accounts  - Different contacts for each account

    I currently have two Exchange accounts on my iPhone 5s. I would like to know whether I can manually select on which account a new contact will be saved, each time I add a new contact. This is easily done on any Android device as you have the choice to select the account (whether it's your Gmail or an Exchange account) on which the new contact will be saved.
    Thanks,
    Markos

    my understanding is that it will only handle one exxchange account. this is a symbian limit, but a good one. you could end up with sync issues and data confusion.
    this being said...you ciuld, if you have other accounts you want to use like exchange but not have calendar and contacts sync, set up your email as imap4.
    this works great and even if your company email is set up for exchange, you should be able to use imap.

  • I have my @gmail account for iTunes purchases, and my @me account for contacts/calendar, how do I approach iCloud and how will this affect me?

    I know accounts cannot be merged. The @gmail account has existed for years before the @me account.
    I haven't been able to set up my phone yet because I have absolutely no idea how this will affect me, when it was quite clear before.
    How will this affect me in the future? What about when my @me service expires (I had just under a free year left)? What email should I link? What should I be worried about if kept separate or the same as they are now?
    I still don't even understand what exactly iCloud does yet. If I set up my phone with whatever my iCloud account is, is it locked in? Since no credit card info or applications or purchases are associated with it, it will be of no use in that area.
    I am absolutely confused on what I should do, and after spending 4 hours attempting to update my phone, am still stuck on having a useable device.

    This point I don't quite understand. It is clear that:
       1) your additional 20gb are available only up to next summer
        2) the migrated account will be downgraded to a free account then.
        3) the purchased music and apps do NOT count in the 5 gb.
    So, I don't know what you need the 20 gb in the "unused AppStore account" for. Your documents and emails are all on the 25 gb account.
    I think, you can log into your non-me.com AppleID and change your e-mail address there without loosing what you purchased. So, I wonder what would happen if I put the me.com address there...
    Not sure, I would try...
    Regarding the me.com AppleID, you should make sure you have a secondary email account added there, otherwise it might be difficult to recover that account in case you cannot read the me.com email anymore. Interestingly, when I tried to put my non-me.com address there, it complained about that email already used by a different account. So, I guess if you try to put your gmail account there it will complain. So, you probably need a third independant email account....

  • How do I choose which exchange account a contact gets added?

    I have 2 Gmail accounts set up as Exchange accounts on my iPhone.
    How do I choose what account to use when I create a new contact? I know with calendars, I am able to select which calendar account I use.

    If the laptop is operating correctly, it should automatically switch to pick up the stronger signal from the closer AirPort.
    Try turning off the wireless on the laptop, then turning it back on to see if it will pick up the stronger signal from the closer device.  You will likely find that you will need to do this with iOS devices like the iPhone and iPad as well.
    Unfortunately, there is no way to designate which device connects to which.

  • Specify Account for contacts

    While adding a new contact I am unable to choose what account should it be added. How can I set it up?
    I have two Exchange accounts and I am only able to set up the preferred account for standard mail and standard calendar. For contacts I have not found a setting neither in the preferences of the Z10 nor while adding the contact.
    I am using BB Z10 running OS 10.0.10.90, German language.

    When creating a new contact on the BlackBerry Z10, it is automatically added to all of your Personal accounts, except in the case that you have a Work account configured and create the contact there.
    Thanks.

  • IPhone uses wrong exchange account for outbound email

    I have two Exchange accounts that I need to keep separate. I cannot figure out how to get iOS to not send ALL outbound emails through one of the accounts. If I'm in Exchange account "A", I want outbound emails to go out through A... if in B, then B. This use to work fine but now all outbound email goes through account A.
    In the email, I can set the account, but regardless of the account I choose, it always goes out from account "A".
    Any thoughts on how to solve?

    Same problem here, same situation - two accounts on one iPhone. No matter which acct used for sending all outbound emails had account "A" for address. I checked all the options in settings and in the email send for choosing the correct account but all email was delivered from "A" no matter what.
    I discovered that the default "A" account was setup for SMTP but the "B" account did not have SMTP validated. It showed a password but it also showed account "A" as a secondary SMTP server.
    I took account "A" off account "B" as a secondary SMTP server. The next email sent from "B" required a password. When I opened settings, completed the password for "B" and the SMTP server validated.
    Now email sent from "A" is delivered from "A", email from "B" is delivered from "B".
    Thanks for pointing me to the solution!

  • HT2480 setting up more than one exchange account for iphone

    Does anyone know how to set up more than one exchange account??

    What you have is an alias email address to a primary email account.
    You cannot create separate email accounts in Mail that share the same user name, password and incoming mail server due to the account and associated mailbox filing structure at the Finder level. When creating an email account in Mail, an account named folder is created at the first level within the Mail folder at Home > Library > Mail named by the user name and incoming mail server for the account which is why you cannot create multiple accounts that share the same user name and incoming mail server.
    To add an alias email address to a primary account, go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and under the Account Information tab for the account preferences at the Email Address field, add the alias email addresses to the email address for the primary account separated by a comma - [email protected], [email protected], etc.
    All incoming messages for all email addresses will be deposited in the Inbox mailbox for the primary email account. If you want to separate messages by email address to a user created "On My Mac" location mailbox, you must create the mailboxes first and then create a rule to move messages received by email address.
    When composing a message, the alias email addresses will be available via the account pop-up selection window just below the message header.
