Sync AddressBook with Google (separate account)

i would like to get my google contacts (these are ALL email based) synced with Address Book (these are ALL phone based) but I don't want to mix up the email addresses with the phone numbers and vice versa.
someone please tell me i can do this...
thanks.

You can only sync with the iCloud account which was entered first into your preferences. You won't be able to do what you want with iCloud. If you're not in the habit of frequently changing contacts one of you could expord your contacts as a vCard and the other could import that into their Address Book.
In Address Book on your Mac, click one contact in the 'All' list then hit command-a to select all. From the File menu choose Export>vCard. Copy it to the other Mac.
On the other Mac choose Import from the File menu and select the vCard.
You might be able to sync your contacts with Google (free account) instead of iCloud: I don't know how reliable this is.

  • Sync AddressBook with multiple iCloud account

    Myself and my wife have separate Apple and thus iClound IDs, which we use the buy apps separately for our own iDevices.
    However we would like to share the contacts created using Address Book on our iMac on all our devices.
    So seamlessly enable this, I was wondering if there is a way to sync the mac Address Book with 2 iCloud account.
    I have added 2 iCloud account, but address book seems to be syncing with only 1 iCloud account
    Any help/suggestions ?

    Check your email account. see if they are their, You can then import them on your DAV card, The best thing to is add them to icoud then they will be safe.
    Apple support can talk you through it.

  • Sync issues with Google Calendar and e-mail alerts

    Hello,
    I'm experiencing a lot of problems with iCal while I'm trying to sync it with Google Calendar. I have correctly inserted my Google account information into iCal, but:
    when I create a new event and I disable the e-mail alert and save it, it automatically turns on the e-mail alert! Is there a way to disable by default all alerts? I have already tried to go to Settings - Advanced and select “Disable all alerts” with no result;
    all the events I create into iCal are correctly synced with Google Calendar and I can correctly read them on the web app, but in my android device they don't have the time information (they are listed as all-day events)

    GooSync would do the trick - http://www.goosync.com/
    Plz be aware that Goosync nor Google Contacts supports all field from your phone so it is not an 100% backup unfortunately

  • Have thunderbolt and need to sync ical with google calendar in order to use.  Any suggestions?

    Have a thunderbolt and MacBook.  Need to sync ical with google calendar as thunderbolt supports google calendar.  Any suggestions?

    I think we may be talking about two different things. Thunderbolt is the new two way display port on Mac Book Pros and Apple displays.
    Thunderbolt (originally codenamed Light Peak) is an interface for connecting peripheral devices to a computer via an expansion bus. Thunderbolt was developed by Intel and brought to market with technical collaboration from Apple Inc. It was introduced commercially on Apple's updated MacBook Pro lineup on February 24, 2011.
    Thunderbolt combines PCI Express and DisplayPort into a serial data interface. A single Thunderbolt port supports hubs as well as a daisy chain of up to seven Thunderbolt devices; up to two of these devices may be high-resolution displays using DisplayPort. You can move data to and from peripherals up to 20 times faster than with USB 2.0 and up to 12 times faster than with FireWire 800.

  • Hey apples, how do I get my iPhone 4 sync'ed with my itunes account using my laptop?

    Hey apples, how do I get my iPhone 4 sync'ed with my itunes account using my laptop = how do I add my existing itunes from my account from my laptop to my iPhone 4.  Thanks.

    Overview of syncing iPhone, iPad or iPod touch with your computer:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1386
    Keep in mind that with the iPhone, you can sync all iTunes content with only one computer.  Trying to sync iTunes content with a second computer will result in iTunes erasing the content from the first computer.  However, non-itunes content such as contacts, calendars, mail settings, notes, etc. (anything in the Info pane) can be synced from another computer.
    If you have songs on a different computer, copy them to the computer you use to sync:

    If you're on a Mac, you need to upgrade it to Mac OS X 10.6.3 and then 10.6.8, which requires that it has an Intel CPU and at least 1GB of RAM.

    Is someone else using the PC and iTunes?
    Create another user for the PC with your name, and try syncing that way.
    This way it wont conflic with the other user.

  • 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?

  • Ichat can't communicate with google talk account

    hey there, I keep getting the following error from my ichat; "Ichat can't communicate with google talk account Gmail." Not sure why I am getting this. My ichat has worked fine in the past. Anyone have any idea what's going on? I've already gone into settings and deleted the ichat account and re-installed it. that didn't work...
    please and thank you!

    HI,
    Did you change the password at Google and forget to do it in iChat ?
    Is Talk still Enabled at your Google Account Settings ?
    In re-adding the account you ar using the "right"  ending (@gmail.com or @googlemail.com) ?
    Try deleting com.apple.ichat.Jabber.com
    You will need to do this in the Finder
    Use the Go Menu.
    Hold th ALT key and select th Library
    Open Preferences
    Find the .plist and Drag to Trash
    Restart iChat.

  • 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.

  • Calendar sync broken for Google Apps accounts

    The Calendar no longer syncs with my Google Apps account; not in either direction.  It pops up the sync notification and reports success, but nothing changes.  I tried removing and adding the account.  This actually broke in 1.2.1, but by the time I noticed, I assumed a fix was around the corner.  1.3.1 didn't help.  I even created a brand new test account using the newly enhanced support for Google Apps.  Mail and contacts work fine, but the calendar won't budge.  Palm, I can give you the test account to play with if you'd like.
    My standard Gmail account calendar syncs just fine.  Saw the troubleshooting for standard account calendars and tried playing with the invitation options in my Apps account to no avail.
    Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

    #1 is good already.  I tried changing the other differences: Default View was month, Location had my zip code, Automatically Add Invitations was set to Yes.
    #2 using network settings correctly had me in Central, but it said Regina, Canada.  Changed it to Chicago and rebooted, but I'm still not syncing either way on my account nor the test account.
    Here's the really odd thing.  My Pre has all four of your entires on the test account from the 3rd and 4th.  I just tried creating entries for the test account from both my Pre and desktop, and I'm not seeing any syncing.  I've forced it about five times over the past 20 minutes.
    Sounds like we're down to it either being homebrew's fault or something stuck in my launch day profile that would survive a wipe.  I wiped my phone under 1.3.1 to undo a lot of homebrew cruft, but I still can't say I ever tested this in a virgin state.  Enh.  Go ahead and close the ticket.  My workaround is fine with me.  Feel free to keep using the test account for other stuff if you want.

  • Syncing issues with google ( I think )

    I have a MobileMe subscription, and wanted to have my address book synced on my devices and my Google account. This where everything went wrong. My consolidated contacts on my laptop went from around 900 to over 20k. and then my issues went extra crazy when every address book on my Laptops and iOS devices had different number of contacts and lots of duplicates.
    I tried to disable syncing with google , but it still syncs with it (it shows when there is a conflict).
    I need help with this.

    iSync (this forum) is only for syncing Contacts & Calendars to a non-Apple mobile phone via a local USB or Bluetooth connection. Neither MobileMe or Google use iSync.
    I'd suggest asking in the Address Book forum, or the MobileMe forum.

  • Strange problem when syncing events with Google Ca...

    I'm trying to sync all my calendar events with Google Calendar. Everything works perfectly if I add or update events with my N9. All the changes and new events are synced to Google Calendar so that they are visible in web browser.
    But if I make changes or create new events with my computer (with web browser) those events are not visible in N9!!! When I tap "Syncronize" N9 show's how many events were added or updated, but they are not visible in the calendar.
    Everything worked before, but now the last visible event in the calendar (made with computer) is on October 25.
    I've tried set this account up with Mail for Exchange and CalDAV. Same problem with both of them...
    Any ideas why one account works, but another does not with same kind of settings!?
