Sync google tasks with reminder in mountain lion

Is there a way to sync google tasks with reminder in Mountain Lion?

Findley you're correct because I did the same thing.
I'll summarize for all people with the same problem :
If you are a Google user like me (Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Contacts) you will probably run into trouble getting the Reminders and Notes working. After trying a lot of things I just gave up and decided to stick with Google, except for the Reminders and Notes. In other words : I'm now using iCloud for these two and it works perfectly : very fast and without any trouble whatsoever. There seems to be a catch because of the fact that Notes are tied with a @me.dcom email address and Reminders are tied with an Apple iCloud Calendar, but in fact, you can just ignore them and keep using Google for that.
In other words: I let Apple create an iCloud Calendar when enabling iCloud Reminders, but I'm not using the Calendar and I let Apple create an @me.com email address but I'm not using it. To use Notes and Reminders I'm using the apps on my iPhone and Macbook for that. I can also login to iCloud.com using any browser to access Notes by opening the iCloud email app and Reminders by opening the iCloud Calendar app. Later this year, Apple will even provide seperate Notes and Reminders icons on the iCloud website so it will be even more transparant.
So, Google for : mail, calendar, contacts
iCloud for : Safari, Notes, Reminders, Find my Mac, PhotoStream
For Documents, I'm not using neither Google or iCloud for the moment... it's up to you to decide.
This solution has no drawback as far as I know and it works perfectly.

ISync disappear in the iOS Mountain Lion, how can I synchronize my mobile Nokia?

iSync disappear in the iOS Mountain Lion, how can I synchronize my mobile Nokia?

Mountain Lion is not iOS. It is OS 10.8. iOS is for iPhone, iPad, iPod. That said read:

IPod Touch stops syncing and disappears from iTunes

I have a problem with an iPod Touch 8GB: when connecting it to a MacBook, it starts syncing and transferring songs, but after a while it just stops syncing and disappears from iTunes. The iPod will still show "sync in progress", and it will still show up in the System Profiler, but not in iTunes.
If I cancel the sync from the iPod, the song library will be inaccessible ("Cancelling sync" or whatever it says) until I unplug the USB cable. If I keep trying (by unplugging and re-plugging it in), it will eventually finish syncing all songs, but it takes ages that way.
I have tried 2 different USB cables and upgraded to firmware 1.1.5 (it was 1.1.4 before). Any ideas?

I have upgraded to 2.0.1 and the latest itunes as of today and still have the exact same issue. I have even tried the following with no luck :
1. Restart the ipod after this occurs and then sync again.
2. Deleted my entire list of Music and Videos from itunes and reloaded them back.
3. Formatted and Reinstalled Windows and tried syncing again.
Thanks to this issue, i dont even have a single song or Video on my ipod....
Can someone please Help.

Do changes/additions to the contacts list in Outlook appear on the iPhone?

When I try to open iTunes in Mountain Lion a dialogue box tells me it is on a locked disk or I do not have permission. Any idea what's going on? Thanks, had

Getting Outlook (for Mac 2011) contacts to iPhone 4S with Mountain Lion installed

I installed Mountain Lion only to find out I can no longer get contacts to my iPhone. ML doesn't support Sync Services so I can't go through Mac's Address Book. I can't get Outlook contacts directly to iCloud. For some reason I can't even do it through iTunes either (with all iCloud disabled). Now I have a phone with NO contacts on it!

Install the latest Service Pack for Outlook. Then go into Outlook under Tools and Sync Services and put in a checkmark for Contacts. This will sync your contacts from Outlook into the Address Book. Once that happens, iTunes (latest version) can sync that info over to your phone if you pick sync contacts in iTunes.
This is how I did it. I can sync everything except Notes this way. Apple ***** a little bit in this regard.

Mail has no access to contacts anymore since upgrading to Mountain Lion

Since I upgraded to Mountain Lion, I can´t access any addresses from within mail. But my contacts are there in the Contacts app.
How can I re-link mail to the contacts app??
Anyone having the same issue?

We'll, I made a clean install of mountain Lion. And then I took the chance to sort out which apps I really wanted to have on my Mac again. And then I reinstalled them. Most of them I had to just copy from the backup drive back into my apps folder. Others had to be really installed. All my files and docs were back in just a moment. And since I kept the same structure, even my Dropbox files didn't have to be synced up again, but Dropbox checked it and it was all good.
I think the whole procedure took me about 2 hours of time, but in the end I cleared a lot of junk out I didn't use anymore anyway and I had a functional Mac.
That's it.

Itunes on Mountain Lion and ICloud : ??

Hi, I have recently gotten a new computer (Imac) which uses the Mountain Lion OS. I purchased some songs on Itunes, but for some reason they downloaded into my LAPtop (also recent and also ML) instead of into the DESKtop that I had used to make the purchase.
I can see the songs in the Itunes on my desktop, but each song is grayed out / marked by a dotted circle / also marked by the "Cloud" sign. I presume this means that the songs were saved on Cloud but how do I download it into the Desktop ?? I have tried the "download recent purchases", have clicked on th the little cloud next to each song (no reaction), verifyed that the "share" settings are active, the passwords are all OK... Don't know what else to look for.
Help is much appreciated ; the more Apple develops it's software the more confusing it is to use!!!
Thanks very much,

Have exactly the same problem as Anthony Barnett. I upgraded some time ago from Leopard and now have the latest version of Lion on my iMac but of course this does not give you access to iCloud for your photos unless you upgrade iPhoto and the only way to do this is to try and buy iLife '11 from the App Store. I click to buy iLife '11 (though it actually says upgrade to iLife '11) and get a pop up asking to choose an application. This pop up pre-selects iPhoto but when you click on "accept" a message comes up asking whether you want to "join this stream". If you click yes you then get this message "Request to the server macappstores://itunes.apple.com failed." Have tried endless times and each time get the same result. Does anyone have a solution? Contacting the App Store I´m afraid, would be a last resort for any of us who have tried to do so in the past so would be very grateful for guidance - I must be doing something wrong. Maybe Anthony found a solution?

How do I add a birthday filed to my contacts? I have OSC Mountain Lion on MacBook Air.

My contacts folder does not have a birthday field. How do I add one so I can transfer the birthdays to my calendar? Thanks.

Not sure if it was the same in Mountain Lion, but in Mavericks click the "+" sign at lower left of a contact and a menu to add fields appears. One of the fields available to add is Birthday.

Can I still manually sync contacts / cal in iTunes with iCloud on?

My wife likes to sync her iPhone contacts and calendar manually with Outlook / iTunes. Despite my suggestion that she convert to Goggle contacts or another wireless sync option, this is how she is comfortable doing it so she wants to leave it as is. Well I just got her an iPad and want both devices to have the same contact and calendar data? So I decided to turn iCloud Contact and Calendar syncing on (I started with just Contacts) through the iPhone settings.
Her contacts now appear on both devices (iPhone and iPad) but I was confused as to what happens to the way she traditionally syncs. For example I added a test contact in Outlook and then manually synced the iPhone w/ iTunes. That new contact appeared on her iPhone but now there are two Contact Groups on her phone - "iCloud" and "From My Computer". From My Computer has just the one test contact I added while iCloud has all the rest (which were originally all fomr my PC). And the new test contact was never synced to the iPad. So it appears that by turning Contacts on in iCloud, it essentially converted her "From my Computer" contacts over to iCloud.
Have to say I'm a little confused. I was hoping that we could keep the legacy relationship where my wife manually syncs her iPhone with Outlook / iTunes and then through iCloud have it backup whatever she pulls over from her Computer to the Cloud and then send it to all her devices (iPad in this case).
Any ideas for how I can acomplish this?
Thanks,

I solved my problem eventually by getting all the devices - 2 iphones, the newish pc and the older Mac on icloud.
All media, calenders and messages were lost from the iphones, except for purchased itunes that I paid another $30 to Apple to save for me and also paid Appple some more to use icloud but the good news is I did save my contacts
I opened all of my contacts and pretty much had to edit and drag them over almost individually as they weren't all in some sort of configuration that Apple liked - i.e. if an email address ended in ch or es or de it might not be accepted as a properly configured vcard.
It would be nice if Apple made it a litle easier when you have older devices and need to get them in sync with newer ones.

ITunes makes Mountain Lion Freeze - Please Help

Hi there: Mountain Lion seems rock solid on my mac pro except when I listen to music with iTunes - it will freeze the system (no more music, just a frozen screen saver)... Power cycle (holding down the power button) is the only way to unfreeze it... All other apps run just fine with no issues. Also, I'm connected to airport express via ethernet, not wifi. Has anyone seen this problem before? Please advise and thank you very much!

I have the exact same problem except on a imac, with 16G ram. Also not hooked to WiFi. I have an app called Logic Pro (music maker) and I wonder if that is causing it

Can't delete old iTunes after Mountain Lion install

I updated my Macbook Pro (late 2008 version) to Mountain Lion and everything was working great until I tried to open iTunes from the Dock and got a message about it being unable to open, investigated the Applications folder and discovered that I now have two versions of iTunes, 10.6.3 and 10.7. 10.6.3 is in the applications folder but 10.7 is in a sub-folder within Applications. In the past I've organized apps in folders according to subject - home office, internet, graphics, games, etc., and have had no problem deleting old versions of Apple apps after system updates by either dragging them to the trash or dragging the updated version into the applicable folder and using the "replace" function. Now I cannot move either the new or old version of iTunes to trash or between folders. I'm getting a message "iTunes cannot be modified or deleted because it's required by OS X".. I've searched these forums and googled the question, and the only solutions I've found have addressed Windows PCs.
From checking the "Get info" panel I can tell that the 10.6.3 version was installed prior to installing Mountain Lion, and 10.7 appears to have been installed either with Mountain Lion itself or in a system update shortly thereafter. I tried unlocking 10.6.3 in the Get Info panel, but that didn't allow me to move 10.6.3 to the trash.
Thanks for any help.

Sure, but its the best you learn how to use the terminal. OS X is Unix and the most advanced tasks can't be done in the graphical enviroment:
1. Open Terminal (You should startet in your "home" directory, this is the default)
2. Type: mdls /Applications/iTunes.app (This will output a lot of information)
3. Look for the last keyword "kMDItemVersion", it should show the program version (e.g. "10.7")
4. From now on what to do depends on the position of the iTunes version you want to delete. If this is the most recent version you will leave this file alone. If this is an older version of iTunes you will want to delete it. So there is a decision to make.
4a. Leave this file
or
4b. Delete this file with: rm -r /Applications/iTunes.app (maybe the permissions don't allow this to do, I could not test it)
5. After that you could use the finder to move your regular iTunes version to your desired position
6. If you most recent version is in an other directory, e.g. /Applications/Music/iTunes.app, you have to do the steps above with this path
It makes sense to locate first the iTunes version you want to delete. You can get this information with the showed mdls command or with the information dialog of Finder. Click in Finder the particular iTunes icon once, so it is selected, show the information dialog (cmd+i).

Problem syncing iPhone 4S w/ iCal after Mountain Lion upgrade

I just upgraded to Mountain Lion from Snow Leopard (I think?) and now my iPhone calendar entries will not show up in iCal.
They are not just recurring events, it seems that all iPhone events that were added after this point are not syncing with iCal.
Please help!

All entries are frozen dating back to the point of upgrade, but the recurring events continue to show up.
To test it out, I subscribed to the US Holidays calendar, and it doesn't show up on my iPhone either.
