Syncing OSX Contacts with Google

Hello,
I am making a move to Android but want to take my icloud contacts over. I know iCloud cant be synced with Google. So I have iCloud synced with my Mac OSX Contacts (10.8). I configured the Mac contacts to sync with my google account(which is a fresh account I want to keep seperate for contacts only). I added a test contact on gmail and it appeared almost instantaneously on my mac contacts. But the other way around isnt happening. I am not able to get my Mac contacts to show up in my gmail contacts list. I did the 'Sync Now' from the menu bar as well.
What am I missing?

Hi Yes if the same Apple ID is used for iphone & iPad you will get the same Content but some Apps are for iPhone other are for ipad But it will be more or less the same. IPad Air 1 is now a good buy was £479.00 now £359.00 that's for 32G Buy from John Lewis .com 3 year warrenty. Cheers Brian

  • Mavericks will not sync Apple Contacts with Google, Linkedin, and Facebook?

    I just upgraded to Mavericks. Here is what I find shocking...
    1. Mavericks will NOT sync Apple Contacts with Google Contacts and vice-versa.
    2. During the upgrade, Mavericks linked some of my Apple Contact cards with Google Contacts, but not all of them. It need to be clarified that linking is not syncing. Worse, it corrupted data, and deleted some of the contacts on Google Contacts.
    3. Similarly, Apple Contacts will not sync with Linkedin or Facebook Contacts.
    4. When I contacted Apple, Level 1 support had not idea and assumed that adding a Google Account with automatically sync Apple Contacts with Google Contacts as it did in OS Mountain Lion. Level 2 support did not have much of an idea either, but called me this morning to say that the matter has been escalated, and confirmed that OS X Maverick does NOT sync Apple Contacts with Google Contacts.
    CAUTION before upgrading to Mavericks:
    5. Your Google Contacts / Android devices will not be updated by Apple Contacts, and vice-versa.
    6. Your Facebook / Linkedin contats will not be updated by Apple Contacts, and vice-versa.
    The workaround:
    7. Before upgrade, ensure that your Mountain Lion or earlier address book in synced with Google Contacts.
    8. After upgrade, go to Contacts > Preferences > General > Default Account, and choose your Google Account as your default account. You will now add New Contact (or update existing Google Contacts) in Google Contacts, which your android devices can sync with. You will also see your Google Contacts in Apple Contacts. However, Apple Contacts will NOT sync with Google Contacts and vice-versa.
    Welcome to Mavericks...

    With all due respect @McFly_Marty, kindly do not mislead readers. As funny as it may sound, but you have been taken for a royal ride by Apple Support. Keep in mind that the tough taskmaster Steve Jobs, is no longer there, and it is no surprise that Apple’s innovations are sliding.
    You probably have chosen Google as your default account under "Contacts > Preferences > General > Default Account”.
    Now, when you add New Contact (or update existing Google Contacts) in Google Contacts, you will also see your Google Contacts in Apple Contacts. However, Apple Contacts will NOT sync with Google Contacts and vice-versa.
    Try disabling your Google account in Apple Contacts, and all your new contacts are no longer in Apple contacts. Therefore Apple contacts is not syncing with Google Contacts.
    Therefore, read the following from my original post again.
    “1. Mavericks will NOT sync Apple Contacts with Google Contacts and vice-versa.

  • Sync OSX Reminders with Google task and OSX Notes with Android's Memo

    Hi all!
    I have recently moved to OS X and I was wondering if there is a way to sync Reminders with Google Task and Notes with Android's Memo. I can see the question has been asked in past for a different OS X (I'm on Maverick) but I couldn't find a solution that works.
    I have currently my Calendar sync'ed with Google Calendar: if I choose "Accounts..." in Reminders I can tick "Mail", "Contacts", "Calendars", "Messages" and "Notes" but I can't see "Tasks".
    Is there a way to set this?
    Thanks in advance!

    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 iPod contacts with iTunes & Outlook

    I have a new iPod that I have added over 200 contacts on. Now I have a new PC and need to sync contacts to Outlook through iTunes.
    My contacts are not saved anywhere else at this point other than my iPod.

    My iTunes is configured to sync all contacts with Google Contacts, and doesn't allow me to select the option of syncing specific groups. The four contacts from my Google Contacs list were added to my iPod, but nothing from my iPod was sent to Google Contacts.

  • I hate Apple maps, will Marvericks give me option to sync contacts with google maps?

    Will Mavericks let me sync contacts with google maps or require sync to Apple Maps as does i0s7. I hate Apple maps.

    I have exactly the same issue.  I updraged my iphone4 to iOS 5.0.1 and iTunes to version 10.5.2.11.  I'm also running Windows7, but 32bit. 
    And I can also confirm this used to work both ways. 
    Good thing is that the iTunes backup and restore kept the new iPhone contacts on my device during the upgrade.  But they are still not syncing to google. 
    So the bad news is that its broken and has been for some time now. 
    anyone?

  • I use macbook and lion os. I want to sync gmail contact with address book. For this i goto preference in address book and select "sync with google". I put my gmail details. However, the sync does not happen. Please help.

    You should have signed in with that address in the first place, but there is a workaround: go to System preferences>Mail, Contacts@ Calendars and add your @me.com address as an account there.

  • How can I Sync same contacts within Google account & iphone, ipad?

    My boss has iPhone 4, ipad & Blackberry, Iphone & ipad enable icloud. All devices sync with google account. After some days we found duplicates contacts & some same contacts 4/5 save in Google account.
    How can I Sync same contacts within Google account & above devices?
    Thanks,

    Sync your iPad with computer iTunes.
    Note: your contacts should be in computer Outlook (Windows) or Contacts (Mac) application.
    If you have iCloud configured in iPhone, do the same for iPad.
    Setttings > iCloud >
         Account: your Apple ID
         Contacts: ON
         Documents & Data: ON

    I manage all of my email in Outlook, delete email and trash it however the update isn't reflected in the Cloud and\or Apple email.  I have to then open up Apple mail and delete again. 
    Then something is setup incorrectly, which version of OSX are you on, and is this an iCloud mail address (@mac, @me or @icloud)
    From your description of the issue I suspect that it is Outlook that is incorrectly setup.

  • How do i sync my contacts with gmail without using cloud?

    I want to sync my contacts to Gmail, but iTunes tells me that I'm already syncing via the cloud, which is impossible because my Gmail account says I have alot more contacts than my phone does. So my question is, how do i sync manually without creating duplicates. Thanks

    Im sorry, I left out one important detail:
    I went through that a long time ago. My phone has actually synced with google before, it just refuses to do it automatically. So what I was trying to ask: is there a way to manually sync my contact to google..There are two things i suspect might be causing the problem but I dont know how to correct these issues:
    1) I have multiple Gmail accounts linked to my phone so maybe there is a priority issue.
    2) The cloud is taking priority over gmail, because when i check my iCloud it has all my contacts there.
    So, if i just needed a backup somewhere of my contacts in case i lost/replaced my iPhone then the cloud would be just fine. However, I need them backed up in google because Im switching to a Windows phone, and google seems to be the best contact backup to use across multiple branded devices. Everyone loves Google.
    An update to my situation:
    Windows app store had an app that uses bluetooth to retrieve all my contacts from my iPhone. It worked wonderfully. So any insight from here on out will only benefit others with this problem that happen to read this discussion, because my issue has been resolved. Thanks for your intended help nonetheless.

  • I want to sync iCloud contacts to google contacts, Is there a way?

    I want to sync iCloud contacts to google contacts on a regular basis, Is there a way?

    For a few reasons, I decided to use both services after thoroughly researching this same question about a year ago for myself.
    I use iCloud for my "Top 20" or so contacts.   Advantage is that I can sync more phone #'s per contact and get a full screen photo when they call.
    I use Google for everyone else.   And only the contacts in My Contacts group will get synched, so I can manage easily how many contacts are on my phone at any time.    Another advantage is that if iCloud ever goes down, or I lose my device, I can easily look up my contacts on a web browser (assuming Google is available 100% of the time)   If I move to another device down the road, all of my contacts can stay on Google.
    My google contacts is setup as an exchange account, so updates are pushed to the device as well.   Another advantage to this is that I can "lookup" any contact on my google account that is not part of My Contacts right on the device at will.
    The "Top 20" icloud contacts are also on Google, under its own group that doesn't sync with the device, just as a backup.

  • How do I sync individual contacts with Facebook?

    On iOs6, on the iPhone 5, how does one sync individual contacts with Facebook? I don't wish to use the sync all contacts feature, as it adds thousands of Facebook friends to my contact list. I simply wish to connect the contacts already in my address book.

    I realize this is really old, but on the off chance of you never having found a way, I figured I'd pop in with something actually useful unlike this Raz fella.
    I couldn't figure out a way to do it without connecting to facebook at all, but here is what I did:
    1. Connect to facebook.
    2. Update contacts.
    3. Click groups and uncheck facebook contacts.
    Now contacts which are only on the phone because of facebook will not show up, and yet the others will have been connected.
    If a specific person does not connect properly to facebook, add their FACEBOOK EMAIL (found in their about section) to the email section of contacts and again go to the facebook settings and click update contacts. This should connect that person.

  • Since Belle update: Can't sync phone contacts with...

    This question was asked in the N series boards by someone else but with no reply's, thanks paramasivan for first raising this.  I have an E6 so I'll post the same query here for better luck. 
    Since the update to Belle the "social network" option from the contacts has been removed.
    This means I can't sync my contacts with my friends/contacts from Facebook.  I've logged in and used Nokia Social but there's no option anymore to sync this.
    So how do we sync these again ?
    Solved!

    From another thread on the same topic someone posted these links that worked fine, the second link in particular worked for me.

  • HT1296 Syncing my contacts with my iPad

    I have tried syncing my contacts with my iPad and I only seem to get 886 of my contacts added - leaving out over half of them (I have 1700 plus contacts) - why can't I add ALL my contacts?  Has anyone else had this problem?  Cheers

    This is the first time that you synced contacts with Outlook? Have you used iCloud in the past? How were you syncing contacts before? While a backup can contain contact information, it is not foolproof (as you have discovered). Also, contacts are not stored in iTunes. If you have not done anything since this, try to restore to a backup done before this sync and see if you can recover the contacts. It may not be able to be done. Good luck.
