Syncing contacts and calendar to gmail/google calendar without itunes

Hello,
I'm using Windows 7, using Firefox 3.6, with Microsoft Security Essentials.
My problem is actually with synchronizing my contacts to and from the iPhone. I set up the exchange on my iPhone as it was described here: http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=138740&topic=14252
Now most of my contacts are doubled, but I guess it's a first time thing, and I will delete the extra ones (Is there a good way to figure which one I should delete and which one I should preserve to prevent those doubles again?).
My actual problem is that I have some contacts that I saved on my iPhone which are not synchronized with Gmail contacts. How should I fix it?
I don't know if you could help me with Google Calendar, but I have a similar problem. I am able to sync new notifications that I wrote on my iPhone, and they appear on Google Calendar right away, but it doesn't sync other notifications that I previously wrote. Any way to fix that?
I would really appreciate your help!
Tom

syncing the calendar is pretty easy go to gmail site and download the update to sync the calendar. just make sure to check sync both ways it should work.
as far as contacts they don't play good together i had to export outlook 2010
into google im not sure they will sync like the calendar does would like to know that myself

Can I sync contacts and calendars with iTunes Match enabled?

I’m getting an iPhone in a couple of weeks and really want iTunes match but the more I read about it the more I’m wondering whether it’ll be worth the hassle. I’ve loads of old CD rips at 128 kbps and protected iTunes files, also at 128 kbps, and what really attracts me is the idea of upgrading all these to unprotected 256 kbps.
I have a Macbook for personal use and a PC for work, being able to sync both computers to the phone will be essential for me. I know that I wouldn’t be able to sync music with iTunes match enabled but if I can sync contacts and calendars and drag Office documents to the phone from both computers that would be OK.
Please could someone tell me whether this would be possible?

I think I understand now, it's nothing to do with syncing music - everything is synced through iTunes. Have I understood properly?
Yes. Including music.

This could be a major blow for me as I'll be using the iPhone mainly for work so I will have to Sync with the PC. If I understand this correctly, once I decide to sync with Outlook on the PC as the main priority I can no longer sync with the Macbook?
What if I ditch iCloud and sync everything through USB?
If it is possible for you to do so you might want to consider signing up for an iCloud account <http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/pc.html>. Keep in mind that iCloud and iTunes Match are seperate services. One does not require the other. However iCloud will work with Outlook 2007 and up so you can keep all your contacts in sync across the devices. You can also sign up for iTunes Match if you want. Or you might even consider using Google to do what you want. It is not necessary for you to keep syncing via USB, unless that is just what you are comfortable doing.

How can I sync contacts and calendar via iTunes 11.1.8 to iOS 3.1.3 (iPhone 1)?

I am proud owner of an iPhone 1 and it still works fine, but runs on iOS 3.1.3. I updated my 2 year old iMac to Mac OS X (10.9) and I am now using iTunes 11.1.8. Actually, I bought my iMac because I was so enthusiastic to see how smooth syncing with my iPhone worked. Now, since OS X, I can not sync calendar and contacts anymore. I had to reset my iPhone and start from scratch, so contacts and calendar are empty.
Sync via iTunes does not work anymore because Apple deleted the direct sync function and my iPhone's iOS does not support iCloud.
Sync via CalDav does not work, beause for some reason my iCloud account is not approved when trying to create it in mail/calendar/contacts (I tried several times, crosschecked, all data appear correct to me and work in the browser access).
Sync via Google does not work, because obviously, my iOS does not support their calendar and contacts function.
Sync via Windows PC might work, but I would have to set one up from scratch.
Downgrading to iTunes 10.7 failed, because OS X didn't allow it. Downgrading the Mac OS might be an option, but I am already running e.g. Books and using it a lot.
Any help is welcome.

P.S.: I still remember Steve Jobs saying "it simply works!"

Thank you Meta, but I could not get the calendar and contact sync with Gmail to work. Apple support already suggested to use Google or a Windows PC. Maybe I should actually reset and try my old Windows PC. Seriously, ... can this be the solution after a Mac OS update for pure Apple users?

Sync contacts and calendar without deleting....

I want to sync my contacts and calendar in my iPhone with a macbook. The macbooks contactlist and calendar are empty. Hasn't been docked with it yet because a friend told me that all my contacts and apointments would be deleted since the iPhone is slave to the macbook.
- Is this true? How can I go around this problem?

Copied from my previous post.
+*Before syncing contact info with the empty Address Book on this MacBook, enter one contact in the AB on this MacBook. Make the contact up if needed, which can be deleted later. This will provide a merge prompt when syncing contact info, which you want to select.*+
+*After this initial merge, the AB on the MB and your iPhone's AB will be kept synchronized.*+
The same applies before syncing an iPhone with a supported address book on a PC, if the supported address book on the PC is empty. After the initial merge when syncing the first time with a supported address book, contact info will be kept synchronized between the two. The same applies to calendar events when syncing calendar events with a supported calendar application on your computer.

Why won't my iPhone 4S sync contacts and calendars with iTunes on my Mac?

I've checked settings on both and they seem fine. Music and photos sync fine but not calendars and contacts. Any ideas?

Hello RMC1,
I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues with your iPhone. If the issue is limited to Contact and Calendars not syncing, even with the correct settings, when connecting your iPhone to iTunes via USB, you may want to try resetting Sync Services (which is limited to this specific function in Yosemite) and re-enabling your sync-related settings afterwards, as outlined in the following article:
OS X: Resetting Sync Services - Apple Support

Impossible to Sync Contacts and calendar with ITune 7

Since I upgrade to ITune 7, I am not able to sync Calendar and contacts with Ipod. I always have this message: Impossible to sync because Office 2003 or later is required. The problem is that I have Office 2003.

U just need to unistall and reinstall icloud control panel!

HT203300 Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 no longer syncs contacts and calendars after upgrading to Yosemite

Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 no longer syncs contacts and calendars through iTunes after upgrading to Yosemite. It worked fine until I made the mistake of upgrading. Help!?

Please describe the problem in as much relevant detail as possible. The "etrecheck" fad hasn't made that step any less necessary. The usual results of posting etrecheck output on this site without a full description of the problem are very poor.
The many "failed" or "killed" warnings that etrecheck sometimes spews are not a reason to reinstall the OS.
The better your description of the problem, the better the chance of a solution.
For example, if the computer is slow, which specific actions are slow? Is it slow all the time, or only sometimes? What other changes did you make, if any, just before it became slow? Have you seen any alerts or error messages? Have you done anything to try to fix it? Most importantly, do you have a current backup of all data? If the answer to the last question is "no," back up now. Ask if you need guidance. Do nothing else until you have a backup.

Ever since upgrading to iTunes 11.0, I can no longer sync Contacts and Calendar from my iMac (10.7.5) To my iPad2 (6.0.1) via Wi-Fi. I believe All my settings are correct. Device is recognized and sync From iPad is possible.

Email services that can sync contact and calendar ...

Hi,
I am thinking to changing my email address from Hotmail to either Ovi mail or GMX mail. Gmail is out of the question as I prefer to stay away from Google.
Does any of these email services are capable of syncing contacts and calendar with Nokia E6? Mail for exchange only works with Hotmail?
If Ovi mail or GMX works which one would you prefer? Another free email service is also welcome
Thanks

In the Calendar app itself, you can control which integrated calendars are reflected and acted upon. With the calendar app running, pull down from the top and select "Manage"...tic on or off those calendars so that only what matters to you is showing on the device.
The event you have cited is likely an automatic holiday insertion...you have to manage the source of that insertion if you want to change what it does with the individual calendar. It's not a duplicated event...it's you showing, on your device, 3 calendars that all happen to have the same holiday event on them. If you suppress a calendar, that event will not show on your device...if you change (on the server) how that calendar handles holidays, that would effect how it shows on your device (if you keep that calendar showing on your device).

How do you sync contacts and calendar events

why is itunes not syncing contacts and calendar events

The current method of syncing contacts and calendars is to use iCloud rather than syncing.

How to sync contacts and calendar from macbook pro to ipad 2?

How do I sync contacts and calendar from macbook pro to ipad2?

I have the same problem and have not been able to get contacts transferred from my MacBook Pro to my iPad 2. I have checked "sync contacts", when it does the sync it says it is syncing contacts, but the address book on the iPad remains empty. I tried checking the box under "advanced" that says to replace the contacts information on the iPad, sync again, same result—an empty address book on the iPad. Any suggestions?

Sync contacts and calendar

I have a iPod 5th Gen Video and a iPod Touch. When I try to sync contacts and calendar it does not work. I get a message pop up saying "cannot sync calendar. Log out & log back in". I am using Windows Vista and the latest iTunes and Outlook 2003.
Now at work I use Win XP and Outlook 2003 and both iPods sync contacts and calendar from Outlook perfectly. So is this an issue with Vista?
Any help will be appreciated.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
You cannot...with OWA, you get email only...nothing more.
Good luck!

Re: sync contacts and calendar

I have an imac using snow leopard (because several of my photo editing programs will not yet work with lion) and a macbook air with lion. Just got a new iphone that I can sync via icloud with the laptop. Problem is my contacts and calendar are all on my imac that cannot use icloud. Any way I can sync contacts and calendar between the imac and laptop on the same home network without using icloud -- and then sync the laptop to the iphone with icloud?

Not unless you upgrade the iMac to Lion v10.7.2 first.

Unable to sync contacts and calendar to outlook 2010 or iphone 5

I work in IT and several of our clients are have trouble syncing contacts and calendar to outlook 2010 or iphones.
I have uninstall itunes completely from the computer, deleted the backup and clear the sync history nothing seems to be working.
Is there are problem with the latest itunes and if so when will the fix be release???

This is exactly what I am dealing with. Blackberry Link will work great for awhile and then something happens and I can not sync my contacts. I have spent many hours and days trying to fix this to no avail. BB support has been great but I still go through a long process each time. This week I finally gave up and started using the Microsoft Hotmail Outlook Connector since my company does not offer Active Sync or Exchange. It works flawlessly. I would dedfinitely check it out. If you swith to a Widows Phone or Android this is one of the options they recommend you use.
In a nutshell Link is awful and BB should be ashamed of the product they put on the market. I will only use it for syncing pictures and documents. Good luck!

Can't Sync Contacts and Calendar -- Look Here

Ok, to quell the confusion on this issue let me fix the general errors with this so others here can see why this is caused and how to fix it.
First if you cannot sync contacts and calendar and only those two items check your hotsync log. And look for contacts and calendar if you do not see these items this means you have an exchange server setup on the device or did at one point. To fix this go into email(Versamail) and tap on your account name in the top left then go to accounts and account setup. Once in here check all your accounts by clicking on them and then hitting edit. Look for EAS or only one server address. If this is what you have you are syncing to exchange and Versamail takes over contacts and calendar from hotsync. This cannot be changed. If you do not have EAS or one server on the device. It is possible that Versamail is holding the contacts and calendar due to you had exchange before. If this is the case the only thing you can do is a hard reset to resolve the issue. I understand that most cannot backup there data(contacts and calendar). But to fix this issue you will need to do the hard reset.
If you are not using exchange and find contacts and calendar in your hotsync log but have OLERR under them please look at this KB for possible fixes to this issue. http://kb.palm.com/SRVS/NUA/launchKB.asp?c=31167
Lastly if you are using Verizon's WirelessSync. Just by having this installed will disable contacts and calendar from syncing. To enable this go into WirelessSync then settings-->advanced settings and enable other sync applications.

I'm having this issue, but can't find any issues with an Exchange server (I don't work in a big office, and we don't have one set up). My phone did a hard reset this past weekend when I tried to send a picture via Snappermail (which I use instead of Versamail, if it matters); I was able ot restore all my data with the next hotsync, but, after that, it stopped syncing the Contacts and Callendar (but the hotsync log shows no errors--although it also doesn't say htey synchronized correctly, either). I've tried doing what was suggested in the first post of this thread (to the best of my ability--as I don't use Versamail, I just tried to do the same thing with Snapper, and made sure no accounts were up on Versamail). I've also uninstalled and reinstalled the Desktop, and performed a hard reset on my Treo. Still, nothing. I'd backed up the contacts and addresses on my memory card with FileZ, and that's the only place I've got the current info--I somehow lost the separate back-up I'd created on my desktop (outside of my Palm folder) for my contacts, although the datebook info is still there. I'm using Vista, and running Desktop 6.2.2. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated immensely--I've lost a few nights sleep trying to get this figured out, and am at the end of my rope. Thanks!
