ITunes 11 No Longer Able to Sync Contacts with Google?

Hello,
I sincerely apologize if I am posting a redundant topic here; however, I was unable to find any other posted solutions.
After upgrading to iTunes 11, I noticed that there is no longer an option to sync the contacts on my iPhone to my Google Contacts.
Is this a feature that has been removed? Or is there something that I am missing with the new interface?
Any assistance that you can provide is greatly appreciated, thank you!

I am so beyond fed up with this and with Apple. THANK GOD I just switched to a Galaxy S3. The whole reason I did it is because iOS 6 crossed the line, especially with the removal of the native Google apps, only to replace Maps with the biggest joke of a maps app I have ever seen in my life. Within 5 minutes of turning on my new Android phone, literally every single feature, down to the most minor detail, was better than iPhone. Every iPhone user that has checked out my new phone says the same thing. I cannot find ONE thing that is better on the iPhone. Not ONE thing.
Before activating my new awesome phone, I wanted to sync my busted old piece of junk iPhone with Google contacts so I can seamlessly transfer them to the new phone, and lo & behold, I encounter even more of Apple's BS with regard to Google.
Apple, I can promise you this... by taking this stance against Google & making things SO much harder for your users, you are driving them away from Apple in DROVES, and straight into Googles open arms. Prepare to circle the drain. Switching to Android is the best decision I've made all year. I LOVE MY NEW PHONE!

I hate Apple maps, will Marvericks give me option to sync contacts with google maps?

Will Mavericks let me sync contacts with google maps or require sync to Apple Maps as does i0s7. I hate Apple maps.

I have exactly the same issue. I updraged my iphone4 to iOS 5.0.1 and iTunes to version 10.5.2.11. I'm also running Windows7, but 32bit.
And I can also confirm this used to work both ways.
Good thing is that the iTunes backup and restore kept the new iPhone contacts on my device during the upgrade. But they are still not syncing to google.
So the bad news is that its broken and has been for some time now.
anyone?

ITunes no longer able to sync with Outlook

Hello,
This is my first ever post on any forum so please go easy on me.
I have an iPhone 4s, and iPad1 and run Windows7. I recently tried using iCloud but didn't like the Outlook calendar (appearance or speed) so wanted to go back to just syncing via my USB cable.
I have followed all steps on here, restoring the iPhone, removing and reinstalling iTunes completely (5 times now) and my phone and iPad will no longer sync, they just sit in never land at either backing up calendar or contacts (I have tried leaving them on for hours at a time). I have now lost my calendar and all of the music off the iPhone so hoping for a solution.
I have heard iTunes no longer supports syncing via iTunes, they want you to use iCloud but can't find anything definitive on this but it would explain why I can't get this to work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I feel like I have tried everything.
Thanks in advance.

Have you tried using Google's sync services that are free yet? It sounds to me like you are not using Exchange for your iPhone with work. So, that would leave it open to use with Google. Keep your Google sync with your work calendar (Outlook), then sync up the Google Calendar with iCal so you have the calendar at home. Separately, setup your iPhone to sync real-time with your Google Calendar using the Microsoft Exchange settings. If all you are trying to do is get your one calendar to be the same everywhere, that will do it and it's all free. Here are links to instructions:

*Google Calendar Sync To Outlook (sounds like you already have this setup):*

Unless I missed a detail, I think that does it for you.

Syncing Contacts with Google to iPhone 5s - multiple sets

Hello ... for some reason when I sync my Google contacts to my iPhone 5s I get multiple sets. Not for all contacts but for a large majority. Help!

I have the same problem. It seems like itunes (on windows) has a problem to sync the google contacts (address book) with my iphone. The first time i tried, it worked (all contacts from Google contacts were transferred to my iphone) but the next time nothing happened, nothing changed in the iphone contacts neither in the Google contacts (updates were made in both the iphone and goggle contacts). Any idea anyone?

Syncing contacts with Google Contacts causes duplicates

I don't use MobileMe, I just sync with my Google contacts, however it puts them in my iPod Touch twice, I tried removing one of them for each contact, it ended up wiping out my google contacts completely. I attempted to sync again hoping it would put the contacts back from the iPod, but it wont.
So my main question is, is there a way to fix the duplication issue please, also is there a way to get the contacts on the iPod back into google contacts, short of entering them all manually, not a prospect I relish.

Is Droid Maxx able to sync Contacts with Facebook

My old Droid used to sync the photos from FB with my contacts, but I have yet to find a way to make my new replacement phone (Droid Maxx) do that. Is it no longer posible or am I missing something?

Welcome. I had to use that on my GNEX and Razr Maxx from Ice Cream Sandwich through JellyBean.

ITunes no longer able to sync Calendar items and Bookmarks on iPhone.

Things have been going great with syncing my iPhone through iTunes on my 24" intel iMac, until yesterday (3/9/08). I haven't changed anything in the last couple of days. I always download and install the latest iPhone, iMac, iTunes updates the same day they come out. So it's been about a week since those last updates, and things synced fine until just yesterday. I create and reschedule A LOT of calendar items on my iPhone, and create a fair amount of bookmarks as well.
Anyone else having this problem? Any solutions?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Wayne

Well, it's been over a week now, and still no real answers on how to fix this syncing issue. Does anyone know how to revert my iPhone to the previous version of its software? Things worked fine until the recent update.
I've even opened up my quandry to Cliff and the forum gang at GSPN.tv's "Help iGot a Mac" podcast and forums. Here is the link to that thread: http://gspn.tv/forum/index.php?topic=977.0
Maybe together, a better solution that a full iPhone restore is out there (I just can't risk losing the 120+ calendar items I've created on my iPhone since the last successful sync with my iMac).
Thanks in advance,
Wayne

IPhoto 09 8.1.1 update: no longer able to sync photos with AppleTV

I have Itunes 9.0.2 (25) and just updated iPhoto 8.1.1 (419) and when I try to synch with my AppleTv 3.0.1 I get an error -50 trying to sync the photos. If I unselect photo sync it will work sync just fine. Also I am now unable to select individual events or photos. That option is now grayed out in ITunes. Did this new update change the iPhoto library format so it is not recognized by iTunes?
I have tried reinstalling both iTunes and iPhoto no help. I also rebuilt the iPhoto library
Help!

I found the problem. This is a new bug introduced in 8.1 of iPhoto.
According to iPhotoManager:
Another recently introduced problem, which appears to only happen with iPhoto 8.1, has to do with music that you've assigned to a custom slideshow. If you have created a slideshow in iPhoto, and using the "Settings" button, have assigned a song from your iTunes library to be played with that slideshow, then if that song has an ampersand (&) character anywhere in the path to the music file (this can include the name of the artist, the album, or the song itself), iPhoto does not write it out correctly to the XML file and you get an error. If you do have a music file assigned to a slideshow, you will either need to assign a different song, or remove any ampersands in the path to the song and re-select the same song in iPhoto to update it to the new location. (make sure to click "Apply" in the settings window to make your change "stick").
This was my problem. I had a song from Simon & Garfunkel in a slideshow and the Path to the song had the & that was malformed.
I removed the slideshow and I am now working.
Apple please fix this bug. I wasted over 5 hours until I went and purchased iPhoto Library Manager and it immediately pointed out the problem.

No longer able to sync Iphone with computer?

I recently bought a new Macbook Pro, and now itunes doesn't allow me to sync the music I have on my phone onto m computer. When I try to sync, iTunes wants to transfer things from computer to phone, instad of phone to computer. I never had this problem with older versions of iTunes on my old Macbook.

This is correct. As has been the case from the very first iphone, it will sync with one and only one computer at a time. Syncing to another computer will erase the current content form the iphone and replace with content from the new computer.
The sync is one way - computer to iphone. The exception is itunes purchases. File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
The iphone is not a storage/backup device. It simply mirrors the selected content of your computer.
Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

How to sync contacts with Google Voice?

Hey everyone, I'm pretty new to the Desktop Software and need a little help. I have had my bb for over 2 years now, but I have never used the DT software for anything but a full back up do a full reset of my phone.
So he is the situation. I just signed up for a Google Voice account and replaced my sprint voicemail with the google voicemail. I want to add all my bb contacts to my gmail/google account but I don't want to do it manually. To sum things up, here are my questions (the ones that I think would solve my problem, but feel free to let me know if I'm venturing down the wrong path at anytime)
1) Is there a way to set the DT software to use Gmail/google as the application for Address Book? Right now I'm just using the Windows 7 Contacts.
2) If I can't use Gmail directly, is there another application that the DT software can link to that will save all the contacts as CSV files, and then I import them to Gmail that way? I believe Windows 7 saves them as a .contact file and Gmail says the format is invalid?
3) How do I add applications to the DT software that are available to sync the organizer data with? Currently the only options I have are Yahoo, Windows 7 Contacts, ASCII, and a 4th that I don't remember at the moment.
The usb port on my phone is going bad, so I have to do a balancing act it the cable in order to get the computer to even recognize that the phone is connected, so I really would like to get all my contacts into my Gmail account in case I have to get a different type of phone.... My patience is running thin waiting on the new Bold LOL
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hey dcdarrencrosby,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
You will not be able to use the BlackBerry Desktop Software to synchronize your contacts from BB to Google.
However if you have a Gmail account added on the BlackBerry, there is a wireless sync option that can bring your contacts over.

Syncing contacts with google

For the 15 years or so I have had Verizon my contacts have been backed up with Verizon Back Up Assitant. I want to change that primary way to google with my gmail. I don't see a way to do that. I have my gmail checked off to sync with my gmail but when I go into my contact names they show they are being backed up by back up assistant. I removed that account and it deleted all of my contacts so I ended up having to restore it again. Any ideas on how to switch it over without having to renter all my contacts?

You need to first export the contacts from Backup Assistant.

Then you need to import the resulting csv file into your gmail account.

How do I stop Google from attempting to sync contacts with my iMac?

Hey folks, i'm new to Mac and keep getting this annoying sync notice that if I allow Google Contants to sync it will change pretty much all my contacts. First off, I'm not really sure what contacts it's trying to sync with. Is it trying to sync with my iCloud contacts? i don't think i have any contact info saved on my hard disk. Second, i have searched the discussion threads about this topic and see posts saying i need to go to Address Book > Preferences > and uncheck Google Sync....but the only Address Book i am aware of is the app labeled "Contacts" which holds everything from my iCloud account. Is Address Book a separate app/database?

I don't know if this helps much, but Address Book was basically the same application in a previous version of the Mac OS. Folks still seem to use the terms interchangably though. Similarly, Calendar used to be "iCal."
I believe syncing contacts with Google or iCloud is an either/or proposition - you can't do both. When you sync with either, a copy is saved to your Mac for faster access (like a web browser's cache). I believe there's still an option to save contacts exclusively to your Mac (HD), but I don't think it's either preferred or occurs by default if you have an account such as Gmail/google or iCloud already set up.
I've never played with preferences in Contacts (Address Book), but I do have both google and iCloud accounts associated with my Mac. Under System Preferences:Mail, Contacts & Calendars, you can specify what accounts do on your Mac. If you have multiple accounts set up, a list will appear on the left side. As you select each one, a list of check boxes appear to the right for each service you want to associate with that account. For example, I have an iCloud account for mail, calendars, contacts, and Safari (among others). I have a Gmail account for mail, although it gives me the option of using this account for calendars, etc. For Gmail, the only item I have checked is mail. It's never asked me if I wanted to sync my addresses with Google.
I hope this helps... at least a little. If nothing else, I hope I've solved the "Address Book" mystery ;-)
