Sync google contacts via itunes

do the contact go to contact book?

In order to make the sync work the way you describe I would have to manually export the contacts from Google, manually import them into Outlook. Then manually export the Outlook contacts back out and re-import them back into Google. Then hope that duplicates don't occur. This would all be done without using iTunes.
iTunes doesn't support syncing directly with a csv file. Syncing with iTunes works without any issue to get contacts to and from the phone. However, those contacts will not get into Google's server. And any contacts that came from Google will never sync with iTunes.
What I want is a way to do this automatically. You are right however, MobileMe might be the only way to do this with Outlook. But I have Outlook XP (2002), I would need to upgrade to Outlook 2007 in order to use this. In addition it says the following: "If you use Microsoft Outlook in conjunction with Microsoft Exchange Server, MobileMe will not sync your contacts or calendars with Outlook." So I am back once again to not being able to sync with all 3 (phone, outlook and exchange "cloud"). Maybe this is why that didn't work for your buddy.
MobileMe also costs $100/year. A little steep if you ask me, considering exchange through Google is free.

Sync Google Contacts via iTunes not working

Hi
Just got a new Macbook with Yosemite and am syncing my Google Mail, Calendar, Contacts with the Macbook without difficulty, I have disabled iCloud syncing for Mail, Calendar, and Contacts.
Now, I want to get Google Contacts set up on my old iPhone 3G (iOS 4.2.1) as a stop gap before getting a new iPhone down the line. However, I can't find a reliable way of getting my Google Contacts on to the iPhone 3G.
Exchange Sync and CardDAV do not work. I don't mind syncing via iTunes but I can't set this up either. Despite telling iTunes to sync 'All Contacts' it won't sync those from my Google account. Only contacts in 'On My Mac' group sync across, but I don't want to manually keep track of and copy new Google contacts into this group just to sync.
Why won't iTunes sync the Google contacts group - currently it is the only group in my OS X Contacts.
I have reset sync and reinitialised the iPhone to factory image - neither works.
Any advice appreciated.

try rebooting the appletv.
also, you have a first generation appletv but have posted in the second generation appletv forum.

How to sync Google Contacts without iTunes

First, I know this looks like a duplicated question (of other with same title) but if you look you will see that question is pretty different.
Also, I've seen some suggestions visiting m.google.com/sync, but that is not available anymore, at least for iOS 5.
I have many Google Contacts that came from more than one Android Devices. Using iTunes, (Device, Info, Sync Google Contacts) I managed to download all those contacts. Problem of this solution is: contacts added in the iOS device (in my iPod) are only uploaded to Google Contacts (therefore for the android devices) when I connect my to itunes - with is a pretty bad solution for many reasons.
So I found a kind of a solution that is using an exchange account just for the contacts, refer here:
http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=138740
problem is, whatever I do (after validating and getting information that i'ts correct) when I access the address book it's prompted the password, I put it and I always get wrong password. I found many people with the same problem but no clear solution?
Anyone knows a workaround or another solution ?

In answer to actionmarker: i have windows xp servie pack 3
In answer to Julian Wright: I just want a backup in case something happens to my ipad I have no need for instant access on my computer as i rarely use it. I do not want to have to purchase outlook to backup and as far as i can tell even sycning with google calander (which i would need to setup as I do not already have but as i have a gmail account assume I can signup) seems to require outlook.
So if i do nothing and worse comes to worse a restore of my ipad would recover my calander data?
I am hoping that with iclouds and ios5 release that as far as i can tell from what i have read calander will be instanlty backed up over wifi when the ipad is connected to a powersource. I'm just hoping that it won't still require outlook (as it does not in mobile me).
The other big risk is that the act of updating to iso5 will wipe my calander data or that i will be in need of a backup prior to iso5 coming out.
So if anyone has any suggestions.....

Sync Yahoo contacts via iTunes or Address Book?

I currently sync my iPhone contacts with my Mac Address Book, via iTunes. I want to start syncing with my Yahoo contacts also.
There are (at least) two ways to do this:
I can configure iTunes to sync with both Address Book and Yahoo contacts when I sync the iPhone.
I can configure Address Book to automatically sync with Yahoo contacts, in which case I would just continue syncing the iPhone with Address Book as I do now.
What are the differences between these two approaches? For example, will the Yahoo contacts be kept out of my Address Book with the first option but not the second?

I decided to try syncing via Address Book, and it worked great.
FYI, what I was trying to accomplish is having a single contact store in Address Book, Yahoo, on the iPhone, and on my new Samsung Galaxy Tab. The Tab doesn't support syncing contacts with Yahoo, only Google, so I actually had to sync everything through Google.
Here's what I did:
1. Synced the Address Book with Yahoo contacts to merge those.
2. Manually cleaned up the merged contacts in Address Book, then synced again.
3. Synced the Address Book with Google contacts (in addition to Yahoo contacts). Since I don't use gmail, I didn't have any existing Google contacts.
4. Verified that the contacts were now in Google.
5. Synced contacts for the Google account on my Galaxy Tab.
I now have all my contacts everywhere I need them. I think using the Address Book rather than iTunes to sync with Yahoo and Google was the better choice, since I can do it from the Mac without sycning my iPhone.

How to sync Google Contacts groups to iPhone?

I can sync my contacts both ways between Google Contacts and my iPhone's phone book.
Contacts in Google contact are grouped. When contacts are synced to the phone, grouping information is lost.
How do I preserve grouping information?
Related question: I only want to have a few selected groups in Google to sync with my phone. How do I do that?
why when I sync google contact at itune, the" selected groups" is gray?

Hi - from the"iPhone 6 User Guide for iOS 8.1",I followed the following steps:
Use your Google contacts: Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars, tap your Google account,
then turn on Contacts.
So I entered Gmail and password. Then withing Contacts app I pressed the Sync link. Afterwards I've got all contacts in one big list, just not categorized by Google groups.

I tried to create a new google calendar in ical, but they did not show up, I tried this several times. Now when I sync my iPad via iTunes all these failed attempts are showing up under the ical sync list in iTunes, how can i clear them from this list?

ITunes on Win 7 64 bit will not sync Google Contacts to iPad

This was particularly infuriating for a few solid hours one evening. I had originally synced my iPad to a Macbook Pro. I sold the MacBook, and had to do a warranty swap @ the Apple store with the iPad. This meant I needed to sync my new iPad with iTunes on my desktop, a computer running Windows 7 64 bit. Everything synced up just fine, except iTunes refused to sync my Google Contacts with the iPad. I went through the process again and again, ensuring I was choosing Google Contacts on the Info screen, correctly entering my account info, etc. I would sync, then check the Contacts on the iPad, and nothing.
I was going to call Apple support from work the next day, but just for the heck of it before I did I connected the iPad to my work computer, a Win XP Pro box, and tried to sync the Google Contacts from that copy of iTunes. It worked just fine, and loaded all my Google Contacts on to the iPad. Both my home Win 7 64 box and my work XP box had the most up-to-date version of iTunes at the time (9.1.1 I believe).
Any clue as to why iTunes refuses to sync Google Contacts on Win 7 64? I have to sync through iTunes, since Apple sees fit to only allow one Exchange account in iPhone OS 3.x.x and I have my work email setup as the Exchange account, and thusly cannot setup Gmail as the Exchange account.

Just for the heck of it, I did a factory reset on the iPad again, and gave it another shot on the Win 7 64 machine at home. I uninstalled iTunes, restarted the computer, installed iTunes 9.1.1 64 bit for Windows, and achieved the exact same results: impossible to get iTunes to sync Google Contacts to the iPad. It goes through the motions, but never delivers any contacts to the iPad.

When i try to sync contact via itunes to outlook, it doesnt get sync, even i checked the sync contact with outlook. Can anyone guide whats the actual problem.

I have similar problems trying to synchronize my calendar, also after update on 7.1.1. on my Iphone 5.
It doesn;t replace the outlook entries on Iphone 5.
I didn,t try to synchronize the contacts, because it may fail.
Has any one an idea what could be the reasson for thid synchronize problems.

ITunes Unable to Sync Google Contact Groups?

Seems the previous topic on "iTunes Unable to Sync Google Contact Groups?" was archived without a fix being reported!
I have iTunes (version 9.0.3.15) running on Windows Vista and iPhone 3Gs (version 3.1.1) and this issue with not being able to select sub groups in Google Contacts is still buggin' me... a lot!
Has anyone heard if Apple have fixed this?
Thanks, Adam.

I just got off the phone with Apple support. They said this feature is not supported. It was, but not anymore.
You would think that this would be pretty easy to figure out.
I'm just as frustrated as the rest of you.

An extra group 'on my iphone' appeared after i sync with windows contact via itunes

I am having this problem which appears to be happened after i sync with my computer. In the contact group, there is an extra group 'on my iphone' appeared after i sync with windows contact via itunes, and even though now i stop syncing already, the group is still there. Can anyone here give me some suggestion on how to remove this group permantly, i not just wanted to remove the contacts but the entire group form appearing on my iphone. Thanks.

Is the app compatible with the iPhone (e.g. it's not and iPad-only app), and do you have the relevant iOS version on the phone ? Or do you have Settings > General > Restrictions > Installing Apps set 'off' on the phone which will stop new apps being installed ?

Can I opt to only sync iPhone 4 via iTunes and NOT iCloud?

I only use the iCal, Contacts, and Mail parts of MobileMe. I sync all three via iTunes. I don't need to worry about any web storage or gallery or other stuff.
Because my MacBookPro is early 2008, I'm leery of upgrading to Lion, even though it's needed for iCloud. I don't want to deal with the decreased battery life or any downgrade in speed. My iPhone 4 is running the most current iOS.
If I don't upgrade to Lion, I accept that I can't migrate to iCloud via my MacBookPro.
Here are my questions:
1. If I don't physically initiate a migration to iCloud, will my .me/.mac mail accounts disappear or will I still be able to get my mail as usual using the mail apps on my MacBookPro and iPhone 4? Will I have to change any of the imap server settings after June 30?
2. For my contacts and iCal, will I be able to continue to sync to my iPhone 4 via iTunes, so that I can pretend iCloud doesn't exist? I realize any calendar/contacts changes wouldn't be immediately seen across all devices, but I don't need them to be--changes can wait until my next iTunes sync.
3. If I don't make any changes, will I be able to set up my iCloud stuff at a later date, after MobileMe is history?
4. If I simply MUST initiate a move to iCloud to "reserve my space" or whatever, is it something I could do via my iPhone or even on a newer computer at the Apple Store?
Basically, can I keep doing what I'm doing, postpone a Lion upgrade for now and ignore the move to iCloud, or will I break the internet?
Thank you in advance.

Yes - deselect them before you sync.
I'm assuming that you auto sync so if you do sync that way - go ahead and sync your iPad again. But don't disconnect the iPad yet. After the sync completes - click on the iPad name on the left side of iTunes - then click on the apps tab on the right. Uncheck all of the iPhones apps under the list of apps to deselect them. When you have all of those apps deselected - click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes. This will remove them from the iPad and iTunes will remember this the next time that you sync.

Unable to sync Google Contacts

Hello! I just bought the iPhone 3GS and wanted to sync my contacts with Google Contacts using iTunes (8.2.1.6). However, when I input my e-mail address and password, it says that they're wrong, even though I've double and triple-checked that they're not.
Am I doing something wrong here?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Many Gmail password issues can be resolved by unlocking the account here: https://www.google.com/accounts/DisplayUnlockCaptcha
Also, you can setup Google Sync with the iPhone as described here: http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=138740

Is it because the new itunes looks different.

Then it should work just the same as on your old computer.

I have a PC. I would like to sync my iPad2 via itunes. My computer recognizes my iPad but itunes does not. I have deleted the itunes program, shut down my computer and restarted and then reinstalled itunes. I still have the same problem. Suggestions?

I have a PC. I would like to sync my iPad2 via itunes. My computer recognizes my ipad but itunes does not. I have uninstalled itunes, shut down the computer and restarted plus reinstalled itunes. I visited the Apple store there is no problem with the iPad or the cord. I still have the same problem and am unable to sync when I plug in the iPad via the USB cord. Does anyone have further suggestions?

Try going into the control panel, add/remove programs. Uninstall iTUnes, Apple mobile device service, apple application support. Then redownload and reinstall iTunes and see if it'll work
If the computer sees your iPad you know the cable and connection is good, so the issue has to be software.
