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.

  • How can I sync my iPad calendar app with my iPhone calendar app?

    I use my iPad calendar app a lot. How can I get the info on the iPad app to sync with my iPhone (it's the same calendar app). Thanks in advance for the help.

    I guess there are a few ways to do this. I make my iMac the "home" for calendar and contact info. I make sure it is current and accurate. I sync my iPhone and my iPad2 to it frequently. If I enter new calendar data on the iPhone or iPad when I get home I sync them to the iMac to be sure it is current.
    We use BusyCal at home so all our Mac's are automatically synced to one another and we sync our mobile devices to the computers. So I sync my iPhone and iPad to the iMac and all of them have the same information.
    We do not use Mobile Me or another other web based service for calendar syncing since we feel that give us less control and more complexity.

  • How can I sync my mac's contacts to my iphone over the air with mobile?

    I add about one or two contacts a day on my mac and want it to automatically upload to my iphone. I have my mac's mobile me to sync atomically. I don't get the push, fetch, manually thing. I don't want my phone to drain battery power to push my emails to my phone. I can do this manually. But, when I enter a contact on my mac, i want it to immediately go to my iphone. Also, when I enter a contract to my iphone, i would like it to co to mobile me, so when I look on the mac the contract is there. I have tried keeping push on and setting contacts to manually. This hasn't worked. i have tried having push on and having contracts manually selected as well as push selected in advance and NADA. No contracts are sync from the mac to iphone.
    any suggestions?

    Hi Joseph. Try opening systems preferences on the Mac and go to mobileme. Just make sure under sync, that contacts are selected. Hope this helps.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    Syncing the 3GS is exactly the same as syncing the 4S - so just do the same as you've been doing.

    How can I sync my Microsoft Outlook tasks with my Ipad reminders? I dont want to use Icloud or an exchange

    Plug it into your computer. Tell it to sync with "this computer" instead of iCloud. You shouldn't have to remove any apps. Otherwise, you can save the app data by using i-FunBox ( http://www.i-funbox.com/ ) just go to the "devices" tab and select 'user applications' and select all of your apps and tell iFunBox to "copy to pc" you're done! You have them all backed up.

    Why won't my computer's address book sync ALL of my contacts with my iPhone?  No MobileMe, no iCloud, just straight from computer to phone.  I have checked all the settings and all seems correct.  It simply won't pull in all of the contacts.  Last time, it added some new ones, but deleted others.

    I found the route of the problem! All the songs under 'On This Phone' are completely grayed out! The only question is now how do I ungray them???
