Sync with google account

Recently switched from me.com to iCloud, as requested.
And having the worst difficulties to sync my address book with a Google account (to sync it with an Androïd cell phone), as iCloud unauthorizes both syncing methods (iCloud account & Google account).
Any idea and/or third party plugin software to solve this problem?
Thanx

Hi total,
There is Firefox sync: [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/sync/] and Google sync:[http://www.google.com/sync/index.html]
On Windows you can set up Firefox sync with these instructions: [[How do I set up Firefox Sync?]]

Ipad calendar has stopped syncing with google account

Ipad has stopped syncing with Google. Paid 6 months ago to have help, and it annoys me to pay again for the same reoccurring issue.
Have tried the same solution given before but it isn't doing the trick now. Any idea how to get them on e again communicating with one another?

The process of syncing Outlook calendar with Google Calendar is pretty much straightforward, in fact Google distributes a very small application that does just that. You only have to configure how you want to sync (one-way or both-ways) and how often. Then you simply "push" it from your iPhone, the system works in "listen mode" meaning that every change you make to the original calendar is automatically and instantly available on the other system.
I know it's not "the" solution, but for the time being it's the only work around.
Take care.

Iphone 3G makes duplicate contact entries after syncing. I went from about 125 contacts to 1,965. Some contacts are duplicated 30 times! I tried deleting the info and resyncing it. Same problem. Not using mobile me. Syncing with google account.

Duplicate entries after syncing. My phone went from about 125 contacts to 1,965. Some contacts are duplicated 30 times! Tried deleting the contacts and resyncing- same thing. I don't use Mobile me. My contacts are synced through my google account. I tried syncing through outlook and there were 0 contacts on my phone. Its a 3G so some of the functions like making groups are not available. Please HELP!!!

and i guess i should mention i bought it at best buy and they ported my phone #'s from my google phone and when i got home i sync'ed it with itunes and it doubled my contacts.

You can not create an iCloud account on a PC, you may create one on an iPad, iPhone or a Mac

Palm Pre no longer syncing with Google Calendar

I've had my Pre for 4-5 weeks, and when I first got it, I configured the calendar to sync with my Google calendar. Everything worked fine. At some point, it stopped syncing. If I add something to the calendar through Google, I don't see it on my Pre and if I add an event on the Pre, it never shows up on Google. Obviously I tried the sync now option to no avail. I'm not sure if this happened around the V1.1.0 update or not. Is anyone else having issues syncing with Google Calendar?
Thx,
Brett

Hello Bartman,
You may want to try removing and re-adding the gmail account to the Pre. If this doesn't work, try creating a test gmail account and add it to the Pre. This will tell you if it is your email account or the Palm Pre.
Let us know what happens....
Thanks,

Deleting event in iCal 5.0.1 not syncing with Google Calendar

When I delete an event from iCal, it does not sync with Google Calendar. However, when I create an event in iCal, it syncs just fine with Google Calendar. Creating and deleting events from Google Calendar syncs fine with iCal. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

12/13/2011 - call to google tech support
Recent support call with Google: iCal deleting events still broken. this is big for us. We have users that have accounts for and/or subscribe to multiple calendars, and took a while to teach them to use iCal, so web based calendars will be foreign to them (even though I like the web based). There is no timeline in place according to Google Tech Support. I feel like the issue is really Apple's issue, so Google is waiting on them to fix, this type of urgency(or lack of) is right up their alley. Oh well.
Does anyone have any suggestions on alternate calendar apps for Mac? Specifically for google calendars?
"Regarding the issue about not being able to delete Google Calendar events within iCal, as mentioned it is a known issue which unfortunately we don't have a time frame to offer you.
You can visit http://support.google.com/calendar/bin/static.py?hl=en&page=known_issues.cs for Google Calendar known issues.

Address Book sync with Google

I updated my system software to 10.6.4 when the upgrade was released recently and have run into a strange glitch. My Address Book had been set up to sync with Google (in Preferences>Accounts) in previous versions of the software, and it worked without a hitch. After the system software upgrade, however, the sync no longer works. When I check the box next to 'Synchronize with Google', update an address, and then quit, the Address Book forgets the preference and unchecks the box. The result is that when I restart Address Book and go to the preferences, the Google sync box is unchecked.
I've searched around various help forums looking for a fix to this, but have yet to find any workaround.

Why are my contacts on ipad not syncing with google contacts?

I am new to apple. I cannot populate the Contacts
app on my iPad2. I see no options to sync with google contacts. Please advise. Thanks!

Thanks Meg, this works, at least in part. Now the Contacts app populated, but only with 99 contacts, hardly all of them. Do you know how to get all my Google contacts to sync?
Also, should I delete the Gmail account I had previously set up on the iPad now that I have set up as an Exchange account?

Contact Sync with Google and/or iCloud?

i am trying to finalize a sync of my contacts so that i have PHONE NUMBERS sorted in groups on my iPhone but i /also/ have email addresses to use in the autocomplete function in Mail on my phone.
if i don't have the Phone Numbers sorted into groups i will not be able to find anything and if i don't have emails in the autocomplete then i have to literally run a search in (what i have found to be a weak search function on the iPhone in Mail) then i have to find an email sent from this person, then i have to COPY the address than i have to paste it into an email.
i /currently/ have a sync using iCloud of my MOST IMPORTANT phone numbers and the "Previous Recipients" email data that i have run a applescript to get into AB/Contacts. So now the phone numbers and this Previous Recipients data is available to all devices.
i won't bore you with the details but i am finally uploading everything else (business cards etc, etc) to Google Contacts.
does anyone have any suggestions at this point as to whether i can ADD a sync with Google presumably by checking something in iTunes OR whether there is a way to add a GMail as a Microsoft Exchange Account?

http://www.maciverse.com/add-gmail-contacts-to-ios-5.html
SHOULD I JUST EXPORT MY CONTACTS/ADDRESS BOOK DATA and import it to Google and just do a Google sync?
CAN I DO BOTH SYNCS AT THE SAME TIME?
WILL THE GOOGLE DATA SHOW UP in autocomplete in MAIL on all my devices?
anyone done this in a way that works?!
THANKS

Yes, you can delete the places.sqlite file, but this action will delete all your bookmarks.

I believe he is refering to in the address book
Preference -> Accounts
Under accounts you have your local On My Mac account, which Apple supplies the ability to sync with google and yahoo. Then there is no way to sync it with icloud. When you add your icloud account as well you just have 2 seperate address books in the same app, with no way to keep them in sync.
Do you mean like this?
I don't seem to be having any issue adding an iCloud account to address book.

Bug in webOS sync with Google

When syncing with Google Contacts, I just noticed a bug:
When importing "Title" and "Company" fields, webOS is incorrectly converting the first letters of EVERY word to capitals in both fields. While this may SEEM correct, it is not and can have undesired effects:
Example:
Company: "Bellevue Supports and Services Center" (as entered into Google Contacts on their web site)
becomes: "Bellevue Supports And Services Center" (in webOS after syncing)
Title: "Food and Nutrition Services Manager" (as entered into Google Contacts on their web site)
becomes: "Food And Nutrition Services Manager" (in webOS after syncing)
Separately, many fields supported on both Google Contacts and webOS ("Spouse," for example) are not being synced. This is a separate issue from above and should be corrected as well. I would guess that the same thing needs to be investigated on Yahoo and other services synced with webOS. Someone at Palm should go through each field on supported sync services (Google, Yahoo, LinkedIn, Facebook, etc) and verify that all are properly linked to the corresponding webOS fields.
I realize these are two SEPARATE issues, but thought I'd combine them into one posting.
Thanks.
Knox

I have not noticed the first issue, but I agree that the second issue is a big problem and should be addressed. I raised this in an earlier thread and someone responded that Palm was aware of it but does not know when/ if it will be addressed:
http://forums.palm.com/palm/board/message?board.id=Synergy&message.id=6910#M6910
I'd also like to be able to move/transfer contacts from one account to another in the same way we can in the Calendar application (i.e., but moving an entry from Palm Profile to Google, for example), but currently we cannot do that -- the only option is to re-enter it under the new account. Very annoying.

Address book: sync with google turns off after quit

I am turned on sync with google my local account. All works properly until restarting of the program. After that checkbox 'synchronize with google' become unchecked.

Would be great if Apple offered something like "support". So they do not know about the bug, don't do anything about the bug. If you have a problem with an Apple product, write about it in some forums and you feel better...
If Apple continues like that (my Mac mini crashes after 24 hours, can't run Apple's Aperture in 64 bit mode on Snow Leopard on three macs, Finder crashes, bugs, bugs, bugs, ...) I have to switch to Linux
(wouldn't be really such a big deal if there were some programs like Photoshop, Lightroom, Final Cut for that platform...)

Sync with Google missing in Address Book

Hi there,
My friend purchased Android phone and wants to sync it with iMac Address Book. Procedure is to sync it with GMail account and then it automatically syncs it with a phone.
Sync utility in Address Book is found under PREFERENCES > SYNC WITH GOOGLE. However it is not there! It is there on my 3 iMacs and laptop but it is not there in his iMac. We run update and it picked up Java and some other update but still no that utility. OS X is version 10.5.8 and as I said is all up to date.
How to get that utility so it exists in Address Book?
Thank you,
Zack

I think yes, probably using pacifist to extract address book from the original disc, then you'd need to update it.
I haven't tried this so maybe another contributor can help with the procedure.

Address Book sync with Google Contacts problem

After creating a Google Apps account for my new domain, I've configured my Address Book application on my Mac-book Air to sync with Google. I created a contact on the Mac-Book and after a sync I saw it in Google's web client. I created a contact on Google's web client and after a sync it appeared in in Address Book.
After two weeks, the sync stopped working. I didn't changed nothing on the computer. Suddenly I noticed that the contacts sync doesn't work anymore.
iCal and Mail are still working great. the problem is only with Address Book.
I searched Google Help. I reset the Sync Services, soft and hard, still not working. I'm not using iCloud or any other sync.
Do you have any idea?

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?

How to setup Mac contacts and iPhone to sync with google?

I have tried and tried, I setup the exchange account with my google info on my iPhone but what do I need to do0 on the Mac? I went to address book preferences and checked sync with google and entered my info I even then hit the sync now button in the toolbar but none of my contacts went to my google contacts.. I then created a test contact on the Mac and hit sync and nothing happened. I created a test contact on the iPhone and it did sync to google contacts on the web but not to my Mac address book? What am I doing wrong?
Ps: I have about 50 contacts on my iPhone and Mac previosly synced with mobile me, I did turn off mobile me before doing this. I do not have any contacts in my google contacts on the web, I never did.

Do you use iCloud for Contacts on your Mac and/or iPhone?
