HT4872 Google contacts

Let me tell you I spent couple of hrs to do this. And now I am very frustrated....
I follow all the steps..
1. I am using cardDAV..
2. All my contacts are under "My Contacts" in google.
why IOS only getting 60 contacts from google contacts...why now whole thing.
If I add contact in my iphone, I do see it is synced in google contacts after long time though ...
what I should look for now.. I deleted and added this account couple of times just in case...
BTW I did calendar sync thr carDav... works fine..
Now thinking about switching to android?

Hello suchisubhra
Have you tried just adding the account the Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar > Add Account > Google and then turning off the services that you do not use. According to the article you came from, Google would want you to setup the account there.

HT4872 getting a ssl error when trying to sync google contacts

When I try to sync my calendar and contacts to google I get a ssl error. I try using the sync without and still get unable to verify. I've gone to advance and set the port to 443 as well

Keep in mind that turning off 2-step verification reduces the level of security associated with the Google account. If you want to maintain it and sync your google contacts, here is what to do:
Access your Google account settings. If you are in Gmail, simply click on your e-mail address in the upper-right corner and select the 'Account' link.
Click 'Security' in the left sidebar. Then click 'Settings' under the 2-Step Verification section.
You will be prompted to sign in again. Once done, click the 'Manage application-specific passwords' link.
Follow the instructions to generate a new application-specific password.
Use this password to log in as directed in the base CardDAV login process.

HT4872 Synching Contacts iOS to Google - contacts not transferring to Google

I have followed these instructions to the letter including re-booting and starting again. My Contacts are currently on my iOS device but are not being transferred to my Google contacts. When I open the contacts on iOS, it does not seem to have the turning wheel idicating that it is synching. My google contacts are empty and my ioS contacts are stubbornly sitting there. Why is it not transferring? Could it be the number of contacts that I have? (2900) Any help would be most appreciated....

I'm having the same issue! Have you discovered any solution? I just did a fresh reformat and could not for the life of me get my contacts to sync with my MobileMe account. I kept getting an error saying that the data was corrupt. So, I decided to try syncing with google but the option was no longer there.

i have a google account with contacts etc.how do i import these contacts and phone numbers into my phone(iphone5) i have exported the contacts from google to my desktop and saved a vcard file,so how do i import it through itunes.

Having trouble important my Google contacts via Microsoft Exchange. The Exchange pop up says that I have entered the wrong password.

Having trouble important my Google contacts via Microsoft Exchange. An Exchange pop up says that I have entered the wrong password. Help?

I found a fix!! Refer to this article regarding using Microsoft Exchange for Google accounts: http://www.zdnet.com/with-new-gmail-and-google-maps-ios-apps-the-iphone-5-is-cle arly-the-best-smartphone-available-7000008756/
In a nutshell, the Google/Microsoft Exchange combo will no longer work on apple devices. You will need to delete your Exchange account altogether. I know, scary! After you delete it, add your Gmail account like you would add any other regular email account on your device [Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Gmail > add your info]. That takes care of your email and calendar.
Now to get your google contacts back! Refer to these instructions: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4872?viewlocale=en_US
I promise, these steps worked for me (even though I was wincing while I deleted my Exchange account). Now I have my Gmail, Google contacts, and Google calendars (even the shared calendars!) on both my iPhone and iPad :D

Why did my Google Contacts stop syncing?

I have a Gmail account through godaddy. I was able to set it up and get it to sync through gmail for years. I can still get email fine. However, when I sync through iTunes, the contacts won't sync either way. If I add a contact to my address book through gmail, it won't show on my iPod touch. if I add something to my iPod touch, it won't show in gmail.
So far as I can tell, everything is up to date and I haven't changed any settings. Is there anything I can do?

Hey seacow_99,
In case you haven't already, I would start off your troubleshooting by verifying your settings match up with those in the following article:

I can't sync my google contacts with my ipad4

I have read every conversation and nothing works. I tried setting this up in Microsoft Exchange, I've also added it as a CardDAV Account. Has anyone come up with a solution?

Unfortunately, as of 1/31/13 that no longer works unless you have a paid GMail account.
The CardDAV type account (2nd link above) should work just fine. Here is Apple's version of this same information:

Android/Google contacts to iPhone 5S

Hi, is there a way to transfer my google contacts from my old android phone to my new iPhone 5s, or do I have to enter each one manually? Thank you for any help you can provide.

I found the instructions on the apple site. Here's the link and instructions in case someone else needs them. It worked great.

Same Apple ID forTwo iPhones but Sync Different Google Contacts?

We have two iPhones (4s and 3gs). We want to be able to use the same Apple ID for both phones (so that we can share applications on both) but we want to sync to different contacts. We want to sync one of the phones to Outlook and the other phone to Google Contacts. Is this possible? When we try to change to Google Contacts via the iTunes sync screen for that phone, it shows the warning: "Switching the sync provider will also affect iCloud and any other iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad that syncs with this user account. Are you sure you want to switch the sync provider?"
Is there a way to make this work? Thanks.

If you are asking can you have an Apple ID and an iCloud account then the answer is, yes. With iCloud it will sync all your devices and computers. I'm not going to get into discussing rumours as that's frowned upon. Here's what Apple has published about iCloud Drive: https://www.apple.com/ca/ios/ios8/icloud-drive/

Z10 does not sync with Google contacts

I've had my Z10 for about a week and am trying to set it up. I am trying, and failing, to replace an Android device with this phone. I used the easy setup for "Email, calendar, and contacts" to link the phone to my gmail/google account. That account has two-step verification enabled and the setup program duly collected the verification code. All three accounts got set up and populated with the latest from google.
But ..... if I make a change via a web browser on my PC (an up-to-date Arch Linux system), those changes simply don't get picked up by the phone, even with the sync interval set to 5 minutes. This is not a matter of not waiting long enough. It's a matter of sync not working. The phone does pick up new email messages arriving and new calendar entries.
If I try to change the sync interval, after the 'save', I'm told that my login credentials were not correct. After one of those episodes, I deleted the 'contact' account and added a new one, this time using the caldev approach under 'advanced settings'. This behaves the same way (except that it requires an application-specific password from Google, rather than honoring the fact that I'd already supplied a valid two-step code). Contacts get loaded as part of the account setup, but no further sync-ing happens.
I've wasted almost an entire day on this. Googling reveals plenty of other people complaining of the same problem and over a two-year time period. You would think that Blackberry, now the 90-pound weakling in the mobile hardware business, would pay careful attention to making their software work correctly with the largest purveyor of email, calendar and contacts. But they haven't.
It's too bad, because this system has a lot to recommend it (I am a retired computer professional and spent almost 50 years of my life developing software and managing large and small software projects and I am confident that I know good stuff when I see it, and much of this system *is* good). But my primary requirement is that the phone be a good organizational tool and if it ignores changes to my contacts, it's useless to me and I will return it and stick with the less elegant, but more functional Android, unless someone has a bright idea for how to fix this.

Well, I tried a workaround: use Link to sync the phone to Outlook. I just want a way to edit contacts with a computer and sync them with the phone, and very occasionally go the other way when circumstances require. You know, like we did with Palms 20 years ago?
What I found was that sync-ing contacts 1 way from device to computer produced no contacts in Outlook. Just utterly frustrated, I called the place where I bought it to try to get some help, they were clueless (and trying to call Blackberry is a waste of time; they won't talk to you unless you have a paid support contract), and so I asked for and got an RMA # and return label.
But still thinking about this, I poked around in the phone and noticed the BBLink accounts for calendar and contacts and thought "can it be that this system, which provides a nicety like Hub, which gives you an integrated, chronological view of *all* your communications -- calls, texts, emails, etc. -- be only sync-ing the BBLink accounts, not the Google accounts?". This is correct, difficult as it is to believe. So I exported my contacts from Google, imported them to Outlook, and did a 1-way sync from the computer to the device, and, mirabile dictu, the contacts showed up in the phone. After about an hour and half. Further synchronizations, done after some cleanup of my contacts were also very slow, though not this slow, since few contacts were actually being transferred in these incremental synchs.
Whoever wrote the synchronization part of Link clearly doesn't understand the concept of complexity of algorithms. (S)he also clearly didn't test this code on a contact data set of any significant size. I have about 1800 contacts. I had about the same number many years ago when I had a Palm that would sync an order of magnitude faster than this Blackberry setup and do so on much slower hardware with a slower communications channel (a serial port).
I also found that two-way synchronization produced some very odd messages, such as telling me that essentially all the contacts were in conflict. I abandoned the idea very quickly of ever trying a two-way sync (again, standard practice with Palms).
Link is clearly a crock, but I think I've coerced it into doing what I need. I have until the end of January to decide whether to keep the Z10, and as I said in my original post, there's a lot I like about this phone. So I will use that time to see if I really have found a workaround for this ridiculous synchronization weak spot.
Hello,
I`m glad you figured out a way to do what you need to do. I have red before some other people having issues with BB Link and Outlook. I never used Outlook - I prefer Google account, which for me has worked very well, regardless what phone I use. It is true, it can take some time to sync in everything but for me it never took days as others have said.
However, once the huge amount of data is synched to your phone, you don`t need to worry about further time consuming synching.
Are you saying that synching with Google *contacts* works for you? In the sense that after you have the phone loaded up with all your Google contacts, if you make a change to the contacts with a web browser that the change appears in the phone? And vice-versa? Neither of those cases work for me. One wrinkle: I use two-step verification on my Google account. Do you? I am very suspicious that two-step verification is the cause of my issue with contacts synchronization (though, as I said in my original post, email and calendar synch do work).

Google calender and google contacts won't sync AGA...

I am getting very tired of Nokia now!
Actually I've had it with Nokia!
One last Change,
My wife and I have now received Nokia phones number 4 and 5 from the care center.
I now have a E7-00 with a poorly responsive touchscreen,
my wife now has a N8, wich just again is different than her previous.
I'm still haven't been able to find out whether the touchscreen is broken or...
Namely because I can hardly use the phone, again google calender and google contacts won't sync.
Got it to work last time around, but things (espacialy with Nokia) change.
Can somebody, Please, give me the page with the CORRECT instructrons? for the e7-00 and the N8?
I am very tired of clicking pages wich do not contain the anwsers.
Meanwhile, my friends and colleagues laugh at me, with their smasung's, HTC 's, LG 's, and iPhone's.
Which all sync (nearly) hassle-free with all they want.
Help

Hi Gucky66,
Thanks for your post and welcome to the forum.
Please reset and update the phone to fix any software issues you're experiencing on both your E7 and N8.
Connect your phone to Nokia Suite and create a back up via Tools > Back up.
Now disconnect the phone from Nokia Suite and enter *#7370# and default security code 12345 into your phone. Once the phone has rebooted, please reconnect with Nokia Suite and click on the green arrow icon where you will be able to update the phone to it's latest software version. If no update is listed, please reinstall the current software. This option is displayed in blue.
When the updated has completed, please restore the back up via Restore > Back up.
You should now have a fully working phone. If you're still experiencing difficulties with your Email account, please delete the account and reconfigure, you can do this via Menu > Mail > Select the email account > Long press > Delete mailbox.
If the above doesn't work, please contact your local Care line where they will be able to look at your previous repairs and look for a solution.
Please get back to me if you manage to resolve the issue, otherwise I can provide further support.

Google Calendar and Google Contacts

On a previous Android phone (T-Mobile's G2), there were two apps, Google Calendar and Google Contacts. When I first got the Incredble 2 in June, I thought I remembered seeing a Google Calendar app, but now it is no longer there.
I'm interested in the Google Calendar app because I'm wondering if my syncing issues (see earlier post) is related to this? (Verizon's Calendar app is not syncing phone created events to my Google calendar).
Thanks.

I do see a Calendar application in my app drawer on the Tbolt. It too has been skinned with HTC Sense and doesn't look like the stock android calendar application. The stock android widget for the Calendar should still be available on the DROID Incredible 2.
Perhaps those are the differences you are seeing when you compare the T-Mobile G2 to the Droid Incredible 2.
i beleive your correct
the g2 was vanilla android
any phone thats not will usually have skins, and be diff
on my fascinate i have a gmail, and a calander

Deselect this option under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes followed by selecting Apply. Bookmarks will no longer be synced between the two.

Google CONTACT sync with iCloud Contact sync?!

i am trying to finalize a sync of my contacts so that i have PHONE NUMBERS sorted in groups on my iPhone but i /also/ have email addresses to use in the autocomplete function in Mail on my phone.
if i don't have the Phone Numbers sorted into groups i will not be able to find anything and if i don't have emails in the autocomplete then i have to literally run a search in (what i have found to be a weak search function on the iPhone in Mail) then i have to find an email sent from this person, then i have to COPY the address than i have to paste it into an email.
i /currently/ have a sync using iCloud of my MOST IMPORTANT phone numbers and the "Previous Recipients" email data that i have run a applescript to get into AB/Contacts. So now the phone numbers and this Previous Recipients data is available to all devices.
i won't bore you with the details but i am finally uploading everything else (business cards etc, etc) to Google Contacts.
does anyone have any suggestions at this point as to whether i can ADD a sync with Google presumably by checking something in iTunes OR whether there is a way to add a GMail as a Microsoft Exchange Account?

SHOULD I JUST EXPORT MY CONTACTS/ADDRESS BOOK DATA and import it to Google and just do a Google sync?
CAN I DO BOTH SYNCS AT THE SAME TIME?
WILL THE GOOGLE DATA SHOW UP in autocomplete in MAIL on all my devices?
anyone done this in a way that works?!
THANKS

Under accounts you have your local On My Mac account, which Apple supplies the ability to sync with google and yahoo. Then there is no way to sync it with icloud. When you add your icloud account as well you just have 2 seperate address books in the same app, with no way to keep them in sync.
Do you mean like this?
I don't seem to be having any issue adding an iCloud account to address book.

Can I use my Google Contacts with iMessage on OSX?

Hi guys,
I've been using only Google contacts on my iPhone and iPad for a few years and now I've just upgraded to Mountain Lion and I'm pleased to be able to use iMessage/FaceTime/etc, but unlike on my iOS devices, I can't sync Google contacts/mail/etc as the device's contacts on my Macbook, so in iMessage they don't show up. Also, unlike on the iPad, none of the existing messages showed up, is that normal? What's your opinion on the best workaround for this problem?
Thanks for you time!

Add your Google account at System Preferences>Mail Contacts and Calendars. Check contacts as a subscribed service, then you can use them in all clients.
