Import GMail Contacts? How to?

I'm a new Mac user and would like to sync my many GMail contacts with Apple Mail. The aim is to be able to start typoing a contact in Apple Mail and autofill the rest of the e-mail address that I have had in Gmail.
Right now that isn't happening. I looked around in Preferences and noticed my 2 Gmail accounts are ther but Enable this account is not checked. I AM getting all my Gmails downloaded so I don't want to fix something which isn't broken. What does checking that box accomplish?
Thanks in advance.

In Internet Accounts System Prferences, Gmail, select the Contacts box. Your gmail contacts will now be part of Contacts along with your iCloud and/or ON MY MAC contacts.
I don't use Gmail contacts, but I don't see why that wouldn't work.

Import gmail contacts on nokia asha platform 14.0....

Hello
Yesterday I bought Nokia Asha 503 and updated phone to latest software update by Nokia.

Hi jabhijeet,
Welcome to the Nokia Support Discussions!
Your phone doesn't support such functionality, but you can log into your social network accounts on your phone for you to be able to view their contact info.
Another option is to add your contacts manually. To do this, tap People > swipe to contacts and then follow the steps below:
Tap the Add (+) icon .
If you're signed in to several accounts, select the account to which you want to save the contact.
Add the contact details, and tap Save icon. Note that your contacts are backed up automatically to your Microsoft account.

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.

How do I import or sync gmail contacts with verizon messaging?

I am setting up verizon messaging on my laptop and missed the opportunity to import my gmail contacts. Is there a way to go back and import these contacts?

Hi Granto,
I am so excited to hear that you are using Verizon Messages! Verizon Messages uses your phone’s address book and contact list. It doesn’t generate a unique address book. To improve your messaging experience you can sign up for the Back Up Assistant(sm) service that allows you to back up all contacts from your primary smartphone to the Verizon Cloud. This will allow for your contacts to be synced on Verizon Messages on your tablet, PC,and web http://vz.to/1j3aYBq . Are these gmail contacts appearing on your phone?
Thanks,

How to delete Gmail contacts from SIM import

Hi,
I just picked up an iPhone 6 today. I had a Nexus 4 prior, and they rep at the store asked me if I wanted to transfer my contacts over to the iPhone. I said yes, please transfer. Well, I now have over 700 contacts. The way the clerk imported the contacts ended up carrying over every email address I had on the phone, not just my 'contacts' with phone numbers etc. Is there any quick way to undo this without spending hours deleting them one by one? This happened prior to me ever syncing anything with gmail. I had not even set up my Google/gmail account on the new iPhone when I walked out of the store...I already had the 700+ 'contacts' when I walked out.

Ok so managed to fix the contacts double up by tackling that in Outlook, where it had stored phone contacts separately, but still no luck on the calendar sync. Any suggestions?

How do i add Gmail contacts to iCloud?

Has anyone figured out a way to sync Google Contacts and iCloud contacts?

The first step would be exporting your GMail contacts as a vcard:
http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=24911&hl=en
What you do next depends on how you've been syncing your iPhone 4 up until now:
- if via iTunes on a Mac, import the vcard file(s) into Address Book app. Then sync your contacts with your iCloud contacts (System Preferences > iCloud > Contacts[checked]).
- if via iTunes on a PC, download the iCloud Control Panel (http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/pc.html) and import the vcard file(s) into your contact manager program (Outlook, Outlook Express, etc.).

How do I disconnect from MS Exchange and Gmail Contacts?

When I got my iPhone 3GS (a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...) I set it up to sync its address book (Contacts) to my Gmail contact list using some instructions I found which used "Microsoft Exchange Server". Worked pretty well so I then linked my wife's iPhone Contacts to *my* Gmail list so we would have the same list of addresses. Seemed to work. Over time, however, the list ballooned and various useless addresses got added (Gmail would add those people to whom I simply had replied on an email - I have fixed that!)
Now, there is iCloud and my wife and I have shiny new iPhone 5 phones. I hope to "clean up" my current list of addresses and then use that as my new starting point for contacts/addresses. I would like to disconnect from Gmail's contact list and link the Address Book on my iMac and the two iPhones to use the same list of contacts - and I presume that using iCloud for the Mac/iPhones would make the most sense. I still want to be able to use Gmail - but I don't want its contact list clogging *my* iPhone/iMac address book list.
I transferred my old iPhone settings to my new iPhone. When I connect my iPhone to iTunes and go to the "Info" page, the "Sync Contacts" box is unchecked but there is a statement "Your contacts are being synced with Microsoft Exchange over the air. You c..." Despite my clicking various boxes, I can't get the rest of the message nor can I figure out how to stop this MS Exchange syncing!! Here is a screen shot:
I have looked on my iPhone and can't find any reference to starting/stopping MS Exchange syncing. I can't seem to find anywhere on my Mac that will let me change the setting either.
I would appreciate any help with this or suggestions on a better way of linking our two iPhones and my Mac to use the same contact list - and to maintain control over it, specifically how to keep it separate from Gmail contacts.
Thanks for your help.
David

Not possible.
When turning over the air syncing for contact info off with an Exchange or MobileMe account, or when deleting the account from the iPhone, contact info will be removed from the iPhone.
You need to export the contact info from the Exchange server in a format that is supported for importing by the Address Book on your Mac.

Can I import my contacts from Gmail into Apple mail (Snow Leopard)?

That says Reset Documents and Data, not Contacts.
I want you to go to www.icloud.com, login and see how many contacts are there, because they are all the iCloud contacts. Any contacts that are not there, are not on iCloud.
