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.

I think this is probably a sign that your network could be better than it is.
Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first.

How can I sync my gmail contacts to iCloud?

Currently, when I sync my contacts, only the contacts created on my iPhone or the ones that were previously on iCloud are the ones that get synced. Most of the contacts on my phone are my gmail contacts, and for some reason I can find a way to sync them to iCloud.
How can I fix this issue?

Well, default account should be "iCloud." on your device. ( Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calanders. )
Two ways to do it; either.
1. Go to gmail contact lists.. Choose all and import as vCard. and then send as email.. Open the e-mail on device and save them.. Go to Settings > iCloud.. Tap on contacts.. turn it off.. Keep on my iphone ... then, tap on one more time and merge it.. So, contacts will be merged with iCloud.
2. Or, you can migrate your contacts from gmail to iCloud ..(import - export way.)
Or, you can do it using 3rd party app.. Sign in to all account, gmail account facebook, so on.. sync contacts all.. and then, run the 3rd party app and backup them.. send as email..
then stop syncing gmail, facebook contacts .. open emails what was sent and save them on device..

I already have my gmail email and calendar syncing to my handheld, but how I can I get the contacts in there? I a few hundred I think, so an easy quick way would be fabulous!

hello,
you have the hard way : use a paid service as a middleware between GMail and your blackberry :

How can I sync my device calendar with the Windows Calendar on Vista?

Hello,
I have just got a PC running Vista (without Outlook) and am using the Windows Calendar and Addressbook. I seem to be able to sync the addressbooks, but my Blackberry Desktop isn't recognising the Windows Calendar application to allow me to sync that. Can this be fixed, or do I need to shell out of Outlook instead?
Thanks to anyone who can help me on this one,
Duncan

as seen on http://na.blackberry.com/eng/services/desktop/#tab_tab_sysreq
Windows Vista Calendar is not compatible with the blackBerry calendar.
you will either have to use the ones listed, or use Google Calendar as a middleware and use Google Mobile sync to have realtime wireless synchronization.

HT204150 How do I sync my AOL contacts list to my iPhone through iCloud?

Anyone? Anyone?

My iPhone has my AOL account set up on it and I have been successfully receiving and sending e-mail thru AOL for weeks. But when I look at my contact list on my phone, it does not have the contacts in my AOL account. iCloud is supposed to sync contact lists. I would like for it to do that and sync the AOL list that shows up on my PC to my phone's contact list so that I don't have to enter all of my contacts individually into the phone's Contacts list. Do you know how to make that happen?
I have Settings->iCloud->Contacts turned On in my iPhone. There is plenty of memory on my phone for the list to be loaded into the Contacts.
iCloud does not sync AOL contacts, you iPhone can do that itself, turn AOL contacts on.

ITunes syncs an extra album with the exact same photos on iPhone 5?

So i've been chatting with apple care for the past 2 hours and ive been transffered to different departments 3 times and NONE of them could help me. so Apple community, you are my last hope.
I created an album of my own on iPhoto. lets say that the name of this album is album X.
I then connected my iphone 5 into my computer and clicked on sync photos from iphoto.
i then selected the box which was next to the name of the album i created in iphoto.
when i click on apply, it then syncs my photos.
when i go on my phone i then see the following albums :
"Camera Roll"
"Photo Library"
"X"
bear in mind that "X" is the album i created.
the Album "photo library" and "X" both contain the same exact photos.
i would like to get rid of the album "X" and just have "Camera roll" and "Photo Library".
i have tried EVERY way possible that i know and apple knows. for example unsyncing then resyncing, changing accounts on my computer and resetting the iphone. apple told me that the problem seems to be coming from the sync process therefore the problem is to do with my computer my iphone is perfectly fine.
if anyone could help me with this i would REALLLYYYYY appericiate it!!!
Thank you,

That's the way it works, & there is nothing wrong. iPhone organizes photos the same way iPhoto does on a Mac. All photos synced to your phone appear in your "Photo Library". The photos in the various albums/folders are not duplicates, rather they are pointers to the actual photos, which, again, are in your Photo Library.

how do I sync my new phone with the cloud?

Hi willardfromlos angeles,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of your question. If you are talking about restoring or setting up your new iPhone from an existing iCloud backup (say, of a previous device), you may find the following article helpful:
iCloud: Restore or set up your iOS device from iCloud
If, on the other hand, you are talking about simply setting up iCloud on your new device for the first time, then these articles may be of more use:

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.

If both computers are running Lion the easiest way would be to sign up for a free iCloud account and let Apple do it for you via the cloud.

1st make sure that iTunes will not sync iPhone automatically
on iTunes go to Edit>preferences> Devices > check "prevent iDevice from syncing automatically"
>connect iPhone to PC
> on iTunes click your iPhone's name
> then untick everything you don't want to be synced line music,movies,apps,calendars, mails

I think there's a big ol' discussion in the Mavericks forum about this - some folks have suggested setting up your own CalDAV server so you can continue syncing without having to route things through iCloud.
It may be simpler to go back to Mountain Lion or Lion (assuming you were on either of those). My syncing computer is on Lion and can't go higher so I didn't realize until recently that USB syncing over contacts & calendars was no longer available!

Do you normally sync via iTunes and your computer? If so, there's an option in iTunes - that you see as you plug each device in - to sync contacts. If you don't normally sync via iTunes you can download and use the iCloud control panel and use that to sync your contacts.

Go to Settings>iCloud, sign in with your Apple ID to create your account if you haven't already done so, turn Contacts on and choose Merge with iCloud when prompted. If you are syncing contacts from an external account (Gmail, Yahoo, exchange, etc.) you will need to take additional steps to add them. Let me know if that's the case.
