How to sync Address Book with google contacts (google apps)

Hi everybody
With Leopard and Snow Leopard I could sync my Address Book with Google Contacts (in google apps). Now with Lion I can't find a way to sync those contacts. I have an iCloud acount for my personal contacst but our company uses Google Apps for sharing the contacts, and I would like to know how can fix that.
Thank you!

Hi,
Google uses Google Sync to synchronize your contacts with your iOS and OS X. But this, from Jan 30, 2013, is only available to the paid versions of Google Apps (read more on http://support.google.com/a/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=2716936).
You can continue to sync on both iOS and OS X using the CardDAV protocol, which, IMHO, is even better.
Follow the instructions in this post: http://support.google.com/mail/answer/2753077?hl=en
Mountain Lion Contacts also supports CardDAV accounts. All you need to do is add the CardDAV account with your account credentials and it will synchronize again.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Ramses

Sync Address Book with Yahoo Address book?

Hi there,
just wondering if its possible to some how sync Address Book with Yahoo Address book?
That is... I have an elaborate Address Book setup on Yahoo, I'd like it so that if I use Yahoo Address Book and create/delete contacts that when I get home and use Address Book, Address Book syncs the contacts structure to the yahoo structure, without me manually intervening...
Is this possible or is there a tool/widget that does this already?
Thanks

while looking for somehting else, i found something here in the discussions that might do the trick. it involves another web-based address book, but might work for you. try getting the plaxo address book plug-in, and then sync your yahoo contacts with plaxo, and then sync that with address book. i'm not sure of the order that would give you the best results, but i'm working on using plaxo as an online backup of my address book, as i will most-likely not be using plaxo otherwise.
my concern for you would be whether one would write over the other, so back up your address book first, or even export the entire thing as a vcard file to your desktop, and then you can re-import and merge them... that way you can sync with your yahoo account, and then add whatever is already in your address book and merge whatever is necessary.
search here in the discussions for the plaxo plug-in, and see if that sounds like it would work for you. the only issue i have right now is that it seems that the plaxo install has somehow affected my icalfix plug-in, but i'll look into fixing that this weekend, i'm sure i just need to move some plug-ins around.
cheers,

Synching Address Book with Google Contacts

I currently use Google Sync to keep Google Contacts and Google Calendar synched to my iPhone and it works perfectly. I want to also sync Google Contacts to my Apple Address book, and while I know where to configure this, I have a question before I turn it on.
In Address Book preferences if I check the box to sync Address Book with Google contacts is this going to wipe out my Google Contacts? Or will there be an opportunity to select which way I want the sync to occur? I want my Address Book to be the target in all cases and my Google Contacts to be the default master. I do not use Apple Mail, iCal, or Address Book on my Mac...I use Google Apps for everything, but I would like to keep my Mac Address Book as a carbon copy of my Google Contacts.
Thanks for any help before I start this sync.

I have had a similar problem. I can't find "contacts cleaner" in versiontracker. Is this an iphone app?

Keep getting incorrect password message when trying to sync my address book with google account. Anyone else have this trouble? Know of a solution?

You can not create an iCloud account on a PC, you may create one on an iPad, iPhone or a Mac

Sync Address Book with Google Contacts

Hi,
recently I am syncing the Mac Address Book and my iPhone with Google Contacts.
If I add a birthday to one of my contacts on my iPhone, the birthday also will be added on Google Contacts. If I sync my Mac Address Book with Google Contacts now, the birthday doesn't show up on my Mac Address Book.
So my birthday calendar in iCal always is empty...
Any solutions?
Regards and thanks,
Mike

Sync Address Book with Mail Addresses

What's the trick to sync Address Book with Mail Addresses. My Mail Addresses has only a handful of my addresses from addresses from Address Book.
Thanks

After upgrading to Snow Leopard, when composing a message, the address is not completed when typing is begun. I have checked the Mail Preferences - Composing and there is a check mark beside "Automatically Complete Addresses". The "Configure I.DAP" window is blank and I do not know what, if anything, should be in that window.

Replace icloud address book with Mac address book?

I just created my icloud account on my Mac- I already had it set up on my iphone. When I did this, it pulled my address book from my icloud but my address book On My Mac is most up to date. How can I replace my icloud address book with my Mac address book on my mac?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Go to users and groups and choose only your On My Mac Contacts to display.
Ensure that nothing is typed in the search field.
Click to select the first contact and shift-click the last to select them all.
Drag the list of contacts to your desktop.
Delete the contacts from Address Book (using your delete key).
Now choose only your iCloud Contacts to display
Ensure that nothing is typed in the search field.
Click to select the first contact and shift-click the last to select them all.
Delete the contacts from Address Book (using your delete key).
Make sure your iCloud account is your default account (preferences > general).
Select All iCloud contacts from users and groups.
Drag the file you previously dragged to your desktop back onto Address Book.
You might want to back up all your contacts before you begin.
Select All contacts in users and groups
Click to select the first contact and shift-click the last to select them all.
Drag the list of contacts to your desktop.

Sync address book with google

Address book does not give me the option to sync with google like it says on the internet. It says for mobile me, exchange and yahoo only. How do I get the option for google.
My address book version is 4.1.1(699).

This is a problem I am having also. I don't think it has anything to do with having synchronized another device as I can and have my ipod and address book syncing well (no iphone yet).
I'm at address book v 4.1.1 (is that most recent) yet there is no box to tick in address book/preferences to sync my address book with gmail. The options for yahoo, exchange and mobile me snycing are there.
I just ran software update and the mac is fully up to date (or so it says), running osx 10.5.6.
The only thing I can think of is that my address book has some how missed an update? is there a way to check, i.e. find skipped updates?
Any suggestions? Thanks.

Sync Address Book with Google Mail

Since the update to Mac OS X 10.5.3 I expected to sync my Address Book with my Gmail account. But no can do, and I don't know why. Is it just for iPhone users?

There are several ways to do this, but it all depends on whether you prefer a simple solution versus a more technically involved solution. If you're like most non-technical people, I'll assume you prefer the simple solution, so you should check these out and decide which of them you want to use:
Soocial: [www.soocial.com] (currently in closed beta)
Syncman: [wateree.net]
GooSync: [www.goosync.com]
ABGMerge: [homepage.mac.com]
Spanning Sync: [blog.spanningsync.com]
BusySync: [blog.busymac.com]
Or, if you want to go with the technical method that involves no money, just skill and patience, read this article: <http://www.zaphu.com/2008/05/29/how-to-enable-mac-address-book-syncing-with-go ogles-gmail-contacts-without-an-iphone-or-mac/>

Sync address book with Google Problems

I have just enabled the option to sync my address book with my Google contacts account. Before i sync'd i deleted everything in the google contacts as it was way out of date, The sync process appeared to have worked as all contact info from address book appears in my google account, but then i get a message indicating that more than 20% of the contacts in the OSX Address book are going to be changed, how can this be? ...
Any ideas??
thx
John

John, I believe the answer lies in the subtle differences between contact fields used and populated by Address Book, and those used and populated by Google Contacts: they do not utilize the same fields for what, on the surface, appears to be the same info. For example, if your Address Book entry contains two words in the last name field, Google imports this as one word for middle name and one word for last name. The sync back from Google to Address Book results in "duplicate" entries, and the warning message that your Address Book entries will be changed.
I just spent two days trying to get this to work the way I wanted it to (I just got a new phone that syncs with Google Contacts. I did just what you did and found just what you discovered. It drove me nuts.
I concluded it what possible to line it all up between the two, but the amount of manual actions necessary on my part was not, for me, worth the time expended to do it. That's as far as I got.

Can you share iCalander/Address Book with other users and restrict them from seeing certain entries?

I'm doing some research for my boss concerning iCloud. He would like to setup a way to syncronize iCalender and the Address Book between three users but keep his personal information private. For example, he wants to be able to update his calender from his phone about an upcoming meeting/project so that the three computers at work are all updated and see upcoming events. Same goes for the contacts. If he adds a new contact or if I add a new contact, for a client or whoever it may be, he wants it to sync up for everyone. At the same time, if he adds a personal event to iCal such as, "Dinner with the girlfriend" or something irrelevant to work, he doesn't employees to be able to see that. My first idea was to setup an iCloud account but I'm wondering if you can even restrict certain things within an account.
Anyone have any other ideas? They would be greatly appreciated.

iCloud appears to provide no Address Book sharing. You might be able to do this through Google, but it would be likely to be all contacts or none.
iCloud allows you to share calendars privately (editable if you wish) to other iCloud users or publicly (non-editable) to anyone - they would need a CalDAV client to read it, such as iCal or Google Calendars.
You share individual calendars, so private events should be in their own calendar which is not shared.

Sync address book with google and storm

I got a storm and have been having issues trying to get items to sync since pocketmac doesn't seem to work with the storm. Found a forum on crackberrry that tells you how to sync the calendar and address bock between the 3. I was able to get the calendar set up however when I got into the address book to set up my google account the option isn't there. It only has mobile me, ?, and yahoo. When I hit help it shows that google should be one of the options. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I would try Missing Sync for Blackberry instead: http://www.markspace.com

Sync *part of* address book with google contacts

Within the Address Book I've seen it's possible to share contacts with a googlemail account.
However, is it possible to share part of an address book (say, a group or a smart group)? I'd like to share some contacts with colleagues at work but I don't need to share all my personal contacts etc.
All thoughts gratefully received.
Edward

Thanks Julian.
I had not thought to click on the cell phone image/icon in the iSync window so as to be given the choice of Group folders to select to sync with my cell phone.
Before posting here I used the online iSync Help and did not see it mentioned anywhere.
It would be nice if Apple made this apparent by including a menu item in iSync that would take a user to that options window.
Regards,
Ron
