(iOS 7.1.1) Google Contacts no longer sync with my contacts app

Hello everyone. So recently I noticed that my Google Contacts no longer sync with my Contacts app, and this is really upsetting as I'm a person who needs to have updated contacts and both my phone, as well as a backup on my Gmail account, as I am both a Google and Apple user.
I am using an iPhone 5S, on 7.1.1.
My Settings has my Gmail account signed in, and has the "Contacts" switch turned on. I deleted the account, and re entered it, and I am still not seeing any activities of the Google Contacts and Contacts app syncing.
I have no idea what I'm doing wrong, so I would really appreciate it if someone could give me some ideas as to what might be going on. I'm real tech savvy but I have no idea what caused my contacts to stop syncing. My Google Calendar events sync just fine, so that's even more confusing.

Okay.. it won't let me go back and edit my earlier postings however... the problem is solved. I went in and Deleted ANY resource that iSync could get it's hands on that it kept in the iSync folder and the SyncServices Folder in the Libray Folder under Users. I actually moved the contents for those folders to a different volume. I then deleted the resources for Palm Desktop making it create a new user account. The Next time I opened iSync.. It went crazy trying to find resources.. it opened Calendar for me and I never saw it open address book but I saw that it was reading Addresses. I then Opened iTunes next and noticed that my full contacts from my address book were put back on my iPod!
Shew!!! one down and one to go. I prayed and added my palm device to iSync. Then I synced and got conflict popups for my Addresses and Calendars asking me how to reconcile ( I was only getting those for the Calendars earlier). I then re-synced and checked my Palm and All of my contacts were in the Treo 650! I then changed a few entries and synced again for a few tests and it appears to be fixed.
This is the problem with gradual upgrades as opposed to clean installs when you update your OS. It's just that OS X doesn't give you that option. in the Pre OS X days I would never just upgrade my OS. I would also Re-Format and Re-install. That's always been my preference.

Hi, have just updated my iphone 4 and Macbook Pro.

In the itunes section, on opening info, after ticking boxes for sync calendar and contacts, the word APPLY does not appear,
So what next?
Please help a technophobe

First, SyncServices has nothing to do with iCloud.
1. Calendars in the On My Mac or On My iPhone/iPad/iPod category, and calendars that sync with other network services such as Google, will not sync with iCloud.
2. Back up all data, then take all the applicable steps in these support articles:
iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Calendar
iCloud: Advanced Calendar and iCal troubleshooting
Nearly all sync issues should be resolved that way. Please make sure you've taken all the steps and tested adequately before continuing.
3. If there are any calendars on your Mac that you don't synchronize with iCloud, export them by selecting them in the calendar list and then selecting
          File ▹ Export ▹ Export…
from the menu bar. Quit Calendar.
4. Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Calendars
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
          Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder selected. Move that folder to the Desktop.
5. Launch Calendar. Your calendars will initially be gone, but they should resynchronize with iCloud. If they don't, uncheck the boxes marked Calendars and Reminders in the iCloud preference pane, then re-check them.
6. Import the calendars you exported in Step 3, if any, by double-clicking the files.
7. If the issue is resolved, close the Finder window you opened in Step 4. Delete the exported files and the Calendars folder on the Desktop.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Google Calendar no longer syncing with iPhone after working fine for a while

I have been syncing my Google Calendar with mine and my wife's iPhone and iCal (on my Mac) for about a year now, and it worked flawlessly...up until a few days ago.
She noticed that her iPhone calendar was completely blank, which prompted me to look at mine. Yep. Gone also. Everything is still in iCal. After fiddling around in the iPhone settings, both of our calenders seemed to magically reappear....then a few days later....gone again.
I see myself as pretty tech-savvy, yet I am perplexed. What is going on here? Is it a bug since it worked fine all this time and just stopped working?

I'm on a 4S IOS 7.1 won't show my Google Calendar I have about 8 that should be showing. FIXED!!
I'm posting this here because your answers didn't help with my particular problem but aimed me in the right direction. so maybe this will help someone else.
------------------------------ This is what I tried ------------------------------
At the bottom of the calendar app click Calendars there should be a check to the left of your calendar. (my calendars weren't even listed here)
The google.com/calendar/iphoneselect solution. (mine was checked correctly)
Google 2-step verification (I even turned this on to see if it would help)
Deleting all accounts “Settings – Mail,Contacts,Calendars – Accounts” and starting over
------------------------------ My Solution ------------------------------
Since I deleted all my accounts already this is what worked I don't know why.
Under “Settings – Mail,Contacts,Calendars – Accounts”
I added my google account “add account” “Google”... so on. Calendar was selected.
I added a second account “add account” “other” (at bottom) scroll down to “add CalDav Account” under calendars.
Server= www.google.com
user name = your email
password = your password
description = whatever
Calendar was selected.
Then I went to “Settings – Mail,Contacts,Calendars – Accounts” and down towards the bottom I clicked “default calendar” and set it.
I hope this helps

I just updated my iPad 3 to ios 7.02 and can no longer sync with iTunes on my computer running OS 10.5.8. I'm wary about updating to Lion, which may cause any number of apps on my computer to no longer work. Although I may consider purchasing a new laptop

I just updated my iPad to IOS 7.02 and unfortunately can no longer sync with my MacBook running OS 10.5.8. I'm wary about updating to Lion as this may cause any number of apps on my Macbook not to work at all or malfunction. Also my MacBook is 5 years old, and I was thinking about purchasing a new computer. I would like to decide when rather than be forced though. Does anyone have any suggestions for a work around? At the moment I do not subscribe to the cloud, and it looks like that is the only way I can back up my iPad now.

Upgrade to Snow Leopard - it's compatible with the latest version of iTunes, and still supports PowerPC applications.
$19.99 - http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
Snow Leopard is required if you wanted to upgrade to Lion, anyway, which you may want to in the future if the latest version of iTunes no longer supports Snow Leopard.

Google contacts no longer syncing with iMac

My Google Contacts no longer sync with my iMac running OS X 10.6.8. Several other threads on this, but no answers that work for me. I know Google no longer supports the exchange style sync and I've tried the CardDAV procedures with no success. Can someone give me procedures that will work for the Mac Address Book?
Thanks

Yes I am aware of that and already tried following their instructions. Doesn't work on my iMac. Pretty much every user that has had success with that procedure was using an iPhone or iPad. I'm thinking there is a difference with the Mac for some reason. When setting up the CardDAV with the iMac it states "Address Book couldn't discover the account setting for the CardDAV server "google.com". Make sure the user name and server address are correct, then click Create." I've tried my username is just my username and I've tried it as my full email address. I followed other threads suggesting to clicking SSL and trying a couple different port numbers, but still no success.

Address Book no longer syncs with google contacts

After my switch to Lion, I'm noticing that my address book no longer syncs with my google contacts??
After I update my contacts in address book, it doesn't show up on google contacts and vice versa.
Is anyone else exprienceing this?

¡¡¡Ok, Something worked for me!!!
I have my address book empty, and then this is what I did:
1- Copy Address book app to downloads (or other folder) just to back it up
2- Install AppCleaner
3- Drag and Drop address book ap into app cleaner, make sure that it references to several files (all .plist files etc.) If there are no external references then try to drag and drop your backup, do it until you see the rest of references (uncheck address book widget)
4- After press clean in AppCleaner, it will delete everything.
5- Put back your address book app backup into your applications folder
6- Open it and if your are lucky you will see all the contacts again, they were like hidden....
Then I deleted all the contacts again and set up google account in preferences again, after that it syncs fine!!!
Good Luck!

After updating to iOS 5.0.1 my 3GS no longer syncs contacts.

After updating to iOS 5.0.1 my 3GS no longer syncs contacts. I tried it in both directions to no avail. I created a contact on iPhone and then synced with negative results. Then I created a contact on my Mac and synced with negative results. What is up? I've never had any problems with any Apple updates before this!

With the latest IOS 7.0.3 for my iPhone, it no longer syncs with iTunes. I've run the diagnostics for syncing and it says everything is working, which it clearly isn't. Is there anything to be done without restoring iPhone? Thanks

update : so after reading numerous posts, I tried unchecking entire playlist and just tried one of my playlists. That sync seemed to work, so I rechecked entire playlist and did the sync. It worked. Then I went in to my "walk to work" playlist and added some songs to see if it would sync now, and it did!!! so happy now. will see what happens tomorrow.

IPhone 4S (iOS 6) no longer syncing with iTunes

Hi, this is my first post on Apple Support. I have several questions that I hope someone will be able to answer. Some regarding my iPhone, and some regarding my MBP.
For starters, my iPhone 4S is running on iOS 6, and no longer syncs with iTunes. I am no longer able to add new music, I can only manage my photos through iPhoto. I updated to iOS 6 while at the Apple store and was told that everything transferred to my iPhone would now go through iCloud, which I wasn't too happy about. I thought that my phone was no longer syncing because of iCloud, and therefore deleted my iCould account (which didn't have anything important on it anyway), but that did not fix the problem. Rather than syncing, iTunes asks me to restore my phone back to factory settings. I considered doing that, but I don't have a back up on my MBP, so that is out of the question. Also, before restoring, iTunes does not give me the option to back up, which I thought it would.
I would like to know how to make it so that my phone syncs with iTunes again so that I can manage my music etc. Does it have to do with iOS 6, iCloud, my MBP, or what? Is my iCloud still in the picture, even though I have deleted my account? If so, how do I disable it completely?
Second question. On a different, older MBP (not mine, and probably running on old software), I burned a Maxell DVD-R containing just under 4GB of music. However, when I insert the disc in my MBP (running on 10.6.8), the disc reads as blank. I tried restarting with the disc in, as well as ejecting and inserting it several times, but nothing is doing the trick. I'm not sure if it's the brand, my MBP's optical drive, or the fact that it was burned on a computer that is running on earlier software than mine. I've read around on the internet with no luck. I have received two pop-ups, one that says it's blank and another that says it is not readable by my computer. Why?
I've been a long time user of Apple, and rarely have any complaints, but my iPhone is really quite screwed up. The DVD-R issue is not a big deal, but I rely on my iPhone extremely (as most do), and not being able to manage it through iTunes is such a pain. I really hope someone can help!

Wow. I never got back to this, I apologize. Today I started searching around online again randomly for a solution on Apple support. The message I am getting is "iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPhone. Go to the Summary tab in iPhone preferences and click Restore to restore this iPhone to factory settings." I've tried many different things both on my computer and my iPhone such as reseting networks, changing the cellular data options, restarting my modem and restarting the wifi on my computer. None of it seems to work. Even if anything were to work temporarily until iTunes 11, I would love that, but I can't seem to find a temporary fix.

IWork apps no longer sync with iCloud. I am on iOS 5.1,1, and this problem is several days old, before it was working fine. Anyone has an idea?

iWork apps no longer sync with iCloud. I am on iOS 5.1,1, and this problem is several days old, before it was working fine. Anyone has an idea?

Sadly this is not a new problem and I would not expect a forthcoming solution. I bought an iPad 3G and the iWork suite at the end of August and iCloud syncing worked fine. About the time Apple rolled out iOS 6 the syncing stopped working for me (without me upgrading or changing anything). It has never really worked since. Run iOS 5.1.1 on both the iPhone 4 and iPad 3G. The "geniuses" claim that Apples iOS 5 requirement is not correct and that I MUST upgrade both to ios 6 (although I know for fact that lots of folks STILL have the iCloud probs even with its 6. The last genius basically shrugged and non-verbally acknowledged the iCloud/iWork failing and suggested "just use Dropbox.". So why the **** did we pay for iWork!?!?!
Basically the iwork/iCloud Connnection is broken and I have yet to get a viable solution to repair the issue. Sorry for the bad news. For reference I have uninstalled/installed each iteration of iWork upgrades on each device without success. I have reset all settings multiple times, turned iCloud off/on repeatedly etc etc without success. I even wiped the iPad and restored from iCloud w/o intention (another Apple IPad "glitch" when I tried the "reset all settings" and the iPad decided to "erase all" instead. The genius said "it happens.")
Oddly, the Pages app is the only one that has marginally worked at times since the first probs. However it is basically broken and non-functioning. Certainly DO NOT trust vital documents to iCloud/iWork. I lost a number of work critical docs in this whole annoying, messy process of trying to get what Apple promised as easy....

HT1386 After updating to iOS 5.1.1 I can no longer sync to iTunes

After updating to iOS 5.1.1 I can no longer sync to iTunes

Any error messages or numbers given during the sync process? Does your phone come up in the device list?
Did you already try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data doing a reset.

Since installing iCloud, my iPhone 3GS no longer syncs with my Outlook Calendar and Outlook Contacts. I don't know what else to try, short of resetting the iPhone and completely reloading as a new device. Any ideas, anyone?

Since installing iCloud, my iPhone 3GS no longer syncs with my Outlook2010 Calendar and Outlook2010 Contacts. I don't know what else to try, short of resetting the iPhone and completely reloading as a new device. Any ideas, anyone?

It's good to know. The Apple instructions for loading iCloud on a PC just seem to have either overlooked or hidden this limit. The larger problem is that it partially works: partially and erratically. So clean-up is great fun.

FYI: It seems it was a network problem with my WinXP PC. After complete deletion and new installation of XP and iTunes my iPhone will be recognized correctly, Wifi synchronization works (mostly) fine.

Is the device recognized in iTunes? What happens when you try to sync? What have you done to try and correct it? Before anyone can recommend anything, they need to know a little more information.

Try a reset of the iPad (hold the home and power keys down until the Apple logo appears (15-20 sec)).
