How to setup Mac contacts and iPhone to sync with google?

I have tried and tried, I setup the exchange account with my google info on my iPhone but what do I need to do0 on the Mac? I went to address book preferences and checked sync with google and entered my info I even then hit the sync now button in the toolbar but none of my contacts went to my google contacts.. I then created a test contact on the Mac and hit sync and nothing happened. I created a test contact on the iPhone and it did sync to google contacts on the web but not to my Mac address book? What am I doing wrong?
Ps: I have about 50 contacts on my iPhone and Mac previosly synced with mobile me, I did turn off mobile me before doing this. I do not have any contacts in my google contacts on the web, I never did.

Do you use iCloud for Contacts on your Mac and/or iPhone?

    Thank you.

    So you have business contacts that were lost... do you not have these on a Database in some shape or form? Sounds like you need to invest in a RAID1 backup setup for your computer so you dont have this issue in the future.
    As for repairing your problem, sounds like you are going to need to start from scratch at this point or if the data is still on your phone look into a program that can take the information from the phone onto iTunes.

  • How do i get contacts from iphone to merge with outlook contacts

    how do i get contacts from iphone to merge with outlook contacts

    If Outlook already has a munch of contacts, do I need to delete them all (all but 1 unique) to sync correctly?
    I have and iPhone ith up to date contacts, and I have outlook with some of the same contacts with older info. When I sync, outlook is OK, but I get a lot of copies of the same contact on my iPhone. Now I'm not entirely sure which are the up-to-date contacts and which aren't (and there's hundred of contacts to go through).
    ...For future reference, is there a way to to send the iPhone contacts to Outlook without adding crap to my phone? Amidst the sync process I noticed and option for conflicting files and choose the "always use phone" but still wound up with a contact mess of mixed old and new on the phone.

  • New mac, iTunes and iPhone ipad sync

    I have an iphone which i used to sync with my old imac, i have recently bought a macbook pro and it seems there is no way to sync my iphone with my new computer without deleting everything on the phone.
    Also there is no way to put audiobooks on my ipad which is synced with my new mac book without deleting all music and movies. this makes absolutely no sesnse to me what so ever
    I click sync audio books - Are you sure you want to sync audiobooks? All existing songs, movies and TV shows on the iPad “iPad” will be removed.

    Ipad and iphone will sync with one aqnd only one comptuer at a time.  Syncing to a new computer will indeed erase the contents from the device.
    Just copy the entire itunes folder form the old comptuer to the new one.

  • How do I set up my iphone to sync with my outlook account?

    How do I set up my iphone to sync with my outlook account?

    Hi maryannmc,
                          You have two options.
    1. You can plug the iPhone into iTunes and select the "Info" tab and choose "Sync Mail Accounts" and this will transfer the settings across.
    2. In the iPhone you can go to Settings > General > Mail, Contacts and Calendars and choose "Add account"
    You will need to know if your account is POP, IMAP or Exchange and this will help determine what settings you need to enter and how to set it up so both your computer and iPhone can receive email.
    The iPhone can add most popular accounts with ease such as gmail, yahoo or hotmail.
    Hope this helps,

  • How to create event on iPhone and have it sync with Google and Exchange?

    How can you synchronize your Exchange calendar with your Google calendar? I have an Exchange account and Google Sync set up on my iPhone 4. However, when I create an event on my iPhone, I have to pick which calendar it goes in, and it shows up only in that calendar, not in both. How do I get the calendars to actually sync with each other?

    Install the Google Sync plugin for Outlook on your computer, and sync the iPhone calendar to Google. Of course, this means that your computer must always be on.

  • Why are my contacts on ipad not syncing with google contacts?

    I am new to apple.  I cannot populate the Contacts
    app on my iPad2.  I see no options to sync with google contacts.  Please advise.  Thanks!

    Thanks Meg, this works, at least in part.  Now the Contacts app populated, but only with 99 contacts, hardly all of them.  Do you know how to get all my Google contacts to sync?
    Also, should I delete the Gmail account I had previously set up on the iPad now that I have set up as an Exchange account?

  • TS4002 iCloud for email is not on my Mac. How can I get email and iCal to sync with iphone and ipad.

    iCloud for email is not on my Mac. It should be under Internet and wireless in System Preferences but it is not. Basically I am trying to get iCloud running successfully on my Mac for email and Calendar so that it will sync with my iPad and iPhone. I was an MobilMe customer and I've been having trouble with this conversion to iCloud. Thanks.

    I too was a mobileme user and have just migrated to iCloud on mackbook pro w/OS 10.7.4. Transition caused my sent mailboxes to rearrange themselves so that I have no comprehensive 'sent' mailbox as I did previously and the view on both incoming and outgoing mailboxes keeps rearranging itself no matter how many times I set preferences. One result is that search function no longer works.  Is anyone else having problems like this?  All was fine for a week after transition but after having an evening when my password was repeatedly rejected I had to log in and out of iCloud (as directed by tech support) and w/in an hour or so the mailbox problem began.

    Dear all,
    i just moved to a new PC (former: Sony Vaio pro with win 7 pro, outlook 10 > new: sony vaio duo with win 8, outlook 13 from office 365 home). i used to sync outlook contacts and calendars with blackberry and iphone and ipad on my old notebook using desktop manager from blackberry.
    Now with my new PC, ipad and iphone are still working fine and they sync with outlook: new entries on outlook calendar and new contacts are added to my mobile and vice versa but when i connect my Blackberry Bold i don get any of the updates. 
    i confirm that i am using the latest version of the desktop manager 7.0.
    my desktop manager organizer is set up to sync both ways for both calendar and contacts
    Any idea please? 
    thank you in advance for your help

  • My calendar "all from my Mac" on my iphone wont sync with my ical

    I have my iphone calender under "all from my mac" however it wont sync with my ical. I have noticed the only calender on my ical is from my icloud. Unfortunately all my calender enteires on my iphone are not under that. Wondering what the easiest way to sync this is.
    when I click hide calender and hide the "all from my mac" all my calender entries disappear.

    Try this:
    1. Make a backup ( a) Time Machine, b) Export > Archive iCal. Close iCal)
    2. In Finder hold down alt-Key while choosing "Go to..." menu
    3. Select Library
    4. In the folder Calendar delete the files
    Calendar Sync Changes
    Calendar Cache
    5. In the folder Preferences delete the files
    com.apple.CalendarAgent.plist
    com.apple.iCal.helper.plist
    com.apple.iCal.plist
    com.apple.iCalExternalSync.plist
    com.apple.syncserver.plist
    (not sure which one is the bad guy, but it did not hurt to erase all of them)
    6. Start iCal, it will update itself.
    HTH, Patric

  • Ipad and iphone not syncing with icloud

    My ipad AND iphone 4S have stopped syncing with icloud - for calendar and reminders at least - suspect for all apps - any suggestions anyone? Have tried ensuring default calender is the same across all, but thus is also impacting other apps.. Help appreciated.

    Do you mean per app? Have done for calendar on iphone, but reluctant to do so on ipad as that's the one that contains loads of updates (as it means deleting everything on the ipad?)... if I have to do this I will eventually, its just that as it's both my iphone and ipad involved, it seems like it might be more likely to be an icloud issue? She said hopefully...

  • Ipod and ipad contacts and notes not syncing with my Dell 64 bit Windows 7 computer

    Can anyone help?  My Ipod Touch and Ipad 2 contacts and notes are not syncing with my Dell Windows 7 64 bit computer.
    Sandra

    I assume that you have synced with Outlook before and it has stopped working.  If you've never connected with Outlook before, take a look here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1418 .  If that did not help try chosing Windows Contacts to sync.  Does that work (contacts show up in Contacts folder on your PC)?

  • My ical events showing up as "new events" on my ipad and iphone when synced with exchange?

    I am running exchange 2010 and have my macbook, iPad and iPhone syncing to exchange. I noticed that lately after my lion upgrade it is changing the ical meeting events that I create on my macbook show up on my iPad and iPhone as "new events". All of the information entered into the event is gone. This is really frustrating and is starting to become a problem. I need to find a solution soon. Has anyone else experienced this issue or resolved this issue?

    Maybe a fix in the works?

  • Will Messages for Mac be updated to properly sync with Google Hangouts?

    Now that SMS and iMessages can be viewed in Messages for Mac, I was wondering if Google Hangouts will be properly integrated into this application. Messages doesn't sync my texts through hangouts on other devices back to the Messages applications. For example, if I have both the Messages for Mac application open and the Hangouts app on my phone, if I send a message via Hangouts on my phone, my text will not appear on Messages for Mac, but their response will appear on both devices. Is this issue one with Google or Apple? And do you know of any workarounds?
    Thank you.

    Nobody knows. Apple has not said anything about it yet.
    Best.

  • Selecting contacts by group when syncing with Google contacts

    I sync my iPhone with Google contacts, however, ALL contacts are sync'd. I have many groups that I don't want sync'd, such as "people who appear in my Picasa photos that I don't have/want contact information, like Bob's friend Pete". I have to suffer with these insane entries in Google contacts, but I would like to exclude them when syncing with my iPhone.
    Is there any way to do that?
    Is there any way to make such a request to Apple?
    Thanks

    I can't help but feel this should probably be on an iphone forum, not itunes.
    If you want to address people who work for Apple you should provide feedback through their feedback sites which you can find under "contact" at the bottom of the page. Pretty much the only people who respond these forums are other Apple product users like yourself, sharing their experience.
