Spanning sync versus google sync for iphone

I am currently using spanning sync. It works great, except you have to connect it by cable to your pc to sync. In 2009 cable connections are a pain in the neck (IMO). I dont like the idea of wiping out all my contacts to switch to google sync. I also hear it only can sync 5 calendars. Is there experience out there with google's version, is it working great ? Are there delays opening the calender or contacts or making changes b/c it syncs with google ? Is the 5 calendar limit true? Would love to not pay for spanning sync if google is working well. Thanks.

I'm using Google Sync, used NuevaSync before that. Synching both calendars (three) and contacts.
Read everything before making a decision. Activating the mobile, turning on synching, choosing default notifications. I did, have no gripes, didn't lose any data.
I also use MobileMe. Google Sync shows the contacts in the My Contacts list on my account; I use Calaborator to sync my contacts into my Address Book - all of my Google Contacts show up in my Address Book on my Mac and Contacts in my iPhone, so I have access to all of them. I can also use the Address Book app to edit my Google Contacts.
Syncing from/to the iPhone is almost instantaneous. Faster than MobileMe's synching, and MM and Google's services are finally getting it.
Spanning Sync? I wouldn't bother.

  • Calendar on MacBook Pro using Mavericks 10.9 will not sync with Google Apps for Business

    Ever since the Mavericks upgrade, I have had problems syncing my MacBook Pro Calendar with my Google Apps for Business Accopunt.  When Mavericks first came out, I could do a work-around and set up a second CalDev account and that worked for a while.  But with the most recent update to Mavericks, in part apparently to solve Google integration issies, the Calendar app will not sync either through the mail account setup in System pref, or by setting up a separate CalDev account.  I have no functioning Calendar on my MacBook, thogh the CalDev account option works fine on my iPhone and iPad, and of course all work on the PC with Google Apps Sync.
    Appreciate any advice, or better appreciate if Apple were to get this right ASAP.

    Thank you for your answer, unfortunately that is not the solution. I found the plug-in where it was already properly installed in the Root Level Library>Internet Plug-ins Folder.  It was NOT to be found in the [User Name]>Library>Internet Plug-Ins Folder, so I copied it there from the Root Level Folder, Rebooted, deleted all cookies, signed in to Netflix, and I still get the same:
    Thanks for installing
    Once installation is complete please restart your browser to watch this movie.
    So, I tried a complete re-install of Mavericks OSX 10.9, from scratch. I checked all Internet Plug-In Folders and the latest version Silverlight Plug-in is in all of them. Still, I get the same:

  • Address Book sync with google contacts *without* iPhone?

    Hi
    I have all my contacts in google, but when I set this up in address book, although it says it will synch with google, it never does. I have read that this needs an iphone to work - I don't have an iphone, so how do I set up 2 way sync between google and address book, without buying mobileme or some such tool...
    Shaun

    can anyone answer this?
    at some point, I remember being able to do this. 10.5.x maybe? With 10.6 . . . .
    I do recall, however, that I stopped doing it because the sync went haywire. I did it the other way around: I have all my contacts in Address Book, so I exported them and uploaded the vCards to Gmail, after deleting all Gmail contacts. That's not such a great option. Surely this is well-automated by now?

  • Re-sync multiple google calendars on iphone

    I'm out of state and *all* of my Google Calendars unsynced from my iPhone save for one (the primary). I want to resync these with my iPhone and don't have my computer with me. I know there's a way to do so but I don't remember how.
    Please advise ASAP.

    Sorry Julian, there was another part of this about the iCloud alert syncs between iPhone and iCloud and Google that I ended up clipping and posting in another spot and forgot to change the forum I was in when I spoted. First time doing this, and sans coffee, not sure if I can change the forum assignment retroactively.

  • Sync multiple google calendars with iPhone

    You will not find this option on your iPhone calendar settings.
    You will not find this option on your Google calendar settings.
    The only way to sync all the calendars you have linked to your google account - not just the primary one - is to go to this URL:
    https://www.google.com/calendar/iphoneselect
    After you are done clicking on each calendar click SAVE. Give your iPhone a few minutes to sync up. I am told from others that the max is 25 calendars, although that is not stated on the web page.
    I think it's interesting that Google doesn't include this option right on the calendar settings section. Nor could I find the answer in any of the apply forums.

  • Cannot sync application and applecare for iphone 3G

    I had many sad problem with my handphone since bought in Sept 2008. Trying to resolve the problem at Chadstone Melbourne in Dec 2008, but they only mentioned that it was the application that was a problem. Apparently I lived in overseas and bought the iphone3G outright at Optus.
    I have problem with syncing application that are more than 50Mb. Any update of an application that are more than 50 MB, during syncing it will switched/restarted the iphone for many times until I decided to delete the apps. What should I do?
    I also had try to find out if there are any extended warranty to iphone in Australia, it seemed that there were none. Could anyone help? My reason was to maintain guarantee toward my Dec 2009 returning to Melb to service this phone.
    Any suggestion and help welcome.
    Thx

    Welcome to the discussions,
    Did you try to reset your phone by holding the sleep and home button until you see the Apple logo?
    Do you use wifi to update apps with more than 50MB?
    I also had try to find out if there are any extended warranty to iphone in Australia, it seemed that there were none.
    After AppleCare for the iphone was introduced in the US it took some time until I could buy it in my Apple Store, so maybe you'll have to wait a little longer or call Apple Store Australia and ask if they know about that program.

  • IPhone syncing, versus iPod syncing - different Free Space results

    I am stumped. I have an iPhone 4.02, 32GB and an iPod Touch, 2nd Gen, 4.02 also 32 GB. After changing iTunes to "Convert higher bit rate songs to 128 kbps AAC", and syncing the SAME set of songs (both have 4334 songs), here are the results:
    iPod = 4334 songs, 11.8 days, 16.7 GB of disk space
    iPhone = 4375 songs (ringtones), 11.8 days, and (when I first connect it to iTunes, it says 15.9 GB disk space, but then when it finishes, it jumps to 20.2 GB of disk space.)
    What gives? Why is there roughly 4.3 GB of "used" space all of a sudden at the end of syncing on the iPhone? It is the same set of songs. (Yes, both the iPod and iPhone have "Sync only checked songs and videos", "Sync Music -> Entire music library" and "Sync Music -> Include music videos".)
    After all is done, I have the following:
    iPod = 6.8 GB free space (sure, apps make up 1GB of difference)
    iPhone = 0.86 GB free space
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks.

    I have this same issue with my iPhone 4 and using the 128 kbps conversion option. It'll show a lower capacity usage at times then jump up to a significantly higher capacity usage. Furthermore, if I get down to about 1GB free on the phone. I can't sync even a single additional song.
    Have you (or anyone) ever resolved this issue?

  • Two Different Sync Accounts (Address Book) for iPhone

    My wife and I both have iPhone and sync our phones with iTunes.
    She has all her contacts synced to the "Address Book".
    Is there a way -- I can add mine to the Address Book as well without her getting all my contact as well when she sync's?
    I do NOT want to set up another user account.
    Any hints?

    You could make a group of contacts call "Rohit" in address book and then go into iTunes with your iPhone connected and click "Sync Address Book Contacts" then click "Selected Groups" and only click Rohit contacts. Then do the same with your wife's iPhone and select her contacts.

  • Google Navigation for IPhone 4

    Does anyone know if GOOGLE TURN BY TURN NAVIGATION is coming to the IPHONE....
    Rick

    I actually purchased the Navigon, because I wanted cached maps, without needing a network connectivity (because if I'm riding my motorcycle around in the boonies, chances are I'll lose cellular signal more than once). I have to say, it's actually quite smart. Tells me stuff that my Garmin (although that dedicated device is for my car, exclusively :-D) never told me.
    Announces T-Junctions, tells me that I'm at a dead end, etc. Honestly, it seems much smarter than my Garmin.

  • Google Application for iphone

    Recently i found that apple india store does not have the google application and unfortunately i can not download it from any other country itune store. Needs that application please.

    Yes Sir, You are right. In India, it would be launched on 22nd August. I thought that if i could send a message to the apple inc. for the same. Futher, i have downloaded some applications on my mac before hand. The price is still very high ($738 for 8Gb and $859 for 16Gb). Still not the people's phone.
