Sync Pre with Google "My Contacts" only

Google provides for syncing with either "My Contacts" or "All Contacts".  Unfortunately, the Pre only syncs with "All Contacts".  This is really bad because Google saves everyone you send an email to in the All Contacts list.  So this is not useful at all to have 500 contacts stored on my Pre.  I want to be able to sync with "My Contacts" only...just as can be done on the iPhone.  Can this be done?  If not, Palm, please, please, please, provide an update that allows us to sync only with "My Contacts".
Thank you.
P.S.  It kind of sucks that Palm does not have a customer support email address...at least not easily found.

You might need to check with your Exchange administrator to have them check the connection between your device and the Exchange server. He should be able to test your connection between the two devices. If it seems to be working alright, you can always try resetting your network settings to see if that helps.

  • HT1692 Have recently installed itunes and outlook on a new computer.  Have multiple email accounts set up in Outlook tho only use contacts and calendar in relation to one of these. Cannot sync itunes with the correct contacts and calendars, Help!

    My new computer is 64-bit running Windows 7 pro, SP1 and Microsoft Office 2010 Pro Plus 32-bit
    My phone is a 4S runing iOS 6.1.3
    Very frustrated now that I have recently installed itunes and outlook on this new computer.  Everything worked perfectly ok on my laptop which was also 64-bit Windows 7 and running 32-bit Microsoft Office 2010 Pro.  I have multiple email accounts set up in Outlook tho only use contacts and calendar in relation to one of these. Cannot sync itunes with the correct contacts and calendars, when I sync the calendar and contacts are empty.  Not sure if there is any way to point itunes to particular address books and calendars.
    I have installed and uninstalled itunes 3 times and thank goodness have a backup
    Can anyone help please?
    thanks in anticipation

    I had my home computer set up to sync to work's Exchange server. It worked well, but I didn't like seeing work email messages and other programs trying to sync with my default Outlook folder, which was then the Exchange (& work related) .ost file. I know there are various ways to manage those problems using filters, view, subfolders, etc., but it was a hassle for me. I think it could work well for many other folks.
    For now, I have published my work calendar and subscribed to that calendar on my home computer. So I have view only access to my calendar on my home computer (and I can add/edit calendar items on my iPad (or Outlook Web Access) when away from work). This is not quite what I wanted, but it may work.
    It almost makes me long for the days when I used my Windows Mobile Treo to sync back and forth between exchange at work and outlook at home (but had many sync conflicts as a result).

    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.

  • Sync problem with Google Contacts

    My google contacts are not syncing since late Feb. 2014.  I am now running KitKat and still contacts aren't syncing.  Calendar and all other Gmail items are syncing well.  Have tried hard reset, removed and reinstalled Gmail account.  Turned off sync and restarted sync.  Tried with pulling battery and restarting all the previous.  Nothing seems to work.  HELP!?!?!?!

    Yes, on my desktop, my Google Contacts are perfect when viewing in my browser.  Also, I have no problem exporting all my contacts to my desktop as a Google "cvs" file.  However, when I sent the cvs file to my Samsung S4, the contacts app would not allow it to be imported.  Apparently on the S4 the format is not acceptable.
    The sync function on my S4 is working for all Google features (like Gmail and Calendar as well as all else) except for syncing contacts.  I've removed the Goggle account and re-installed it.  I've unchecked sync, cleared cache and data and just about anything any of the techies have proposed and then re-checked sync for contacts and I have been getting the same error message "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly."  Same message since late February of this year.
    I have spent in excess of 6 hours speaking with various Verizon tech support people and I have as well as with Google Android support.  Google tells me that they see no problems and it's a Verizon issue.  Meanwhile Verizon tells me the phone is working fine and it's a Google hiccup and I should have Google fix it.  Seems nobody is taking responsibility.
    I have a tough time understanding how Verizon can continue to charge me for a service which they are not providing.  I'm hurt being their long time customer and they seem not to care.  Quite a disappointment.  My renewal is in another 11 months and I'm stuck with a defective product for which nobody is taking responsibility!

  • Sync issue with google contacts.

    Just noticed that my contacts had not updated since Jan 2010. After conferring with Motorola did a factory reset. Put everything back in. Contacts were good for a couple of days. Now getting a message problem with sync. However gmail, calendar, facebook and picsa are syncing fine. Just the contacts.
    Anyone got any suggestions. I have had the phone since before January without any other issues.
    No apps that should interfere with process.

    What is the difference. When I click on Contacts it shows the same as My Contacts except that My Contacts shows the groups broken down. Contacts lists alphabetically with the groups to the right and My Contacts lists the groups under it with the contact listings to the right.

  • 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.

  • How can I sync reminders with Google ?

    OSX Mountain Lion and iOS experts : how can I sync Reminders on my iPhone with Google (Tasks?) ?
    In Mountain Lion : I can choose Google as the Reminder account, although nothing is sync'ing.
    And in iOS, it's even worse : I can't even choose Google for reminders (only iCloud).
    So why would I not use iCloud then on both devices (desktop and iOS)? Well, because I'd like to use Google as the calendar (for sharing purposes with non-iCloud users) and apparantly, it's not possible to link reminders to iCloud without also linking your calendar to iCloud?!  (It's one single item in Mountain Lion in the iCloud settings : "Calenders & Reminders").
    Am I missing something?
    Many thanks,
    Kris

    Cheers for that BikeMystery. So yeah, if you mainly use Google Services then the only way to get Reminders and Notes syncing between OSX ML and your iOS deviceis to activate Notes and Reminders under iCloud and create an @me address and an iCloud calendar. That's a bit pants really.
    If you do have an Exchange or Yahoo! account set up in Mail, Contacts & Calendars does that allow Notes & Reminders to sync with iOS without iCloud?

  • 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 notes with google docs

    Possible?
    I uses notes on my IPAD and MBA.  If it could sync with googles docs it would be perfect

    I have the same message as well but mine appeared after I did a software upgrade and it failed then I had to manually download the last installed software on my phone as iTunes couldnt restore my phone.  Since this happened my iTunes has also said this "bundle" thing and I havent been game enough to sync any notes, contacts or calendars.  I dont know why its there and how to get rid of it.  I dont know if its been caused by a virus etc on either my phone or iTunes, does any one know what the source of this is?  I can only assume that doing a full delete of iTunes from my computer may fix the problem, but then if I do this and it does work does that mean that I lose all of the info on my phone as well as whats in iTunes the next time I sync??  I need help as my work calendars are no longer on my phone.

  • How do i sync ical with google calendar, in that direction

    i have google cal and ical syncset up but it was set up by google telling what to enter into ical. this made my other calendars, all the google calendars i have other than the main one, into "delegates" on ical.
    whats the reason or process for this? cant they just been normal calendars on ical?
    the reason i ask is that i have a menu pull down app which seems to only read "normal" calendars and not delegated calendars...
    can i sync ical to google cal but enter details into ical to sync with google rather than the other way round?

    jackie.shuler1 wrote:
    So if I make calendar entry in my iphone it syncs to my mac ical but not icloud.
    If everything is set to use iCloud then it's impossible for data to get from the iPhone to the mac but not iCloud, since all the data actually resides on iCloud and is read from there by devices. It rather sounds as if you have some syncing going on iTunes. If you look at the calendar listing on your Mac and Phone they must be listed under iCloud, not 'On My Mac/iPhone' - is that the case?

  • Can't sync Palm with Mac through iSync, only syncs with Palm Desktop

    I have an older Palm Tungsten T3 that I use basically only to run a medical application that I need at work (ePocrates, which has its own conduit and auto-updates itself with hotsyncs). I haven't tried to sync it to my Mac for a long time. I use iCal for my calendaring needs, sync it with my iPod, and ignore the old stuff that's on the Palm, which I hardly ever even sync.
    Today I had to reinstall the Epocrates software, and decided while I was at it I'd try to get the Palm syncing with the Mac (iCal, contacts, etc) again because it would be nice for it to show the same calendar data.
    I reinstalled the newest version of Palm Desktop from scratch. Installed the ePocrates software on top of it. I have iSync 2.4. My Palm was not listed as a device initially. I chose "Enable Palm OS Syncing" from the menu; iSync then went through a series of steps in which it disabled several conduits (presumably to no longer sync with the Palm Desktop), then told me to enable the iSync Palm conduit through the HotSync manager, which I did.
    I now show the Palm as a device on iSync, but it has a yellow caution icon over it and I'm not sure why. Clicking on it shows an options dialog. I chose for the first sync I wanted to erase everything on the device and then sync with the Mac. My syncs appear to work, but when the data is checked it seems to sync only with Palm Desktop. The old junky data on the Palm was not erased as requested. Newer calendar events and contacts from my Mac have not made it to the Palm. The ePocrates auto update conduit is working fine but that's the only part that is.
    Any idea what's incompatible, or what I'm doing wrong here?

    I have The Missing Sync and used it to sync my palm TX. I am now in the process of trying to get iCal going properly again. No longer have any calender views in iCal and the week views don't show until I have opened a month view and then go back to the week view. Very bizzare. Also have a heap of untitled calendar views in the drop down list option when looking at the info on any event - these calendar views are not accessible anywhere else though.
    I'm not sure if it is Missing Sync or something I did wrong at present. Will also throw the problem to the Missing Sync people to see what they say. Will let you know. It seemed to work really well without needing the palm desktop!

  • How to sync iCal with Google calendar (both ways)???

    I have been trying to sync my ical with my google calendar both ways.
    I got all new event created in google calendar syncing into iCal but i can't get the one created in iCal go into google calendar.
    Help please!!!!
    thx

    When entering a new event in iCal be sure your "google" calendar is highlighted on the left had side of your screen. That makes Google your default calendar as you add events. Or you can choose which calendar from the drop-down box in the details box when adding a new entry. The down side is that is seems you can only select one Calendar; so the "Home", "Work", "Untitled" options become moot if you want to sync back to google.
    If you already had events scheduled in iCal; you can right click on them, select "Calendar" and then choose your google calendar. When you refresh your google calendar that event should show up.
    You simply need to be sure what Calendar you're entering into. Also if you wait a few SECONDS the calendars DO sync without any need to manually synchronize them.
    So basically, ensure you're entering into the Google Calendar in iCal and wait a minute.
