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

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.

Unable to sync Google Contacts Iphone5s iOS8

Hi,
I am unable to get the synchronisation working for my new Iphone 5s. I am using iOS8.1.
I basicly used the following steps to try get the syncronisation working:
https://support.google.com/mail/answer/2753077?hl=en
This worked great for Emails and Calendar but no luck with contacts... I then tried various other Syncronisation (Exchange, CardDav) with no luck...
I havent found any bug reports on that issue so I will just try it here.
Thanks

Hi, I have a solution for you, but it might take you a few minutes to finish it:
First, export your Google contacts as a .VCF file. In Gmail, find the contacts and there should be an option for you to export all the contacts;
Second, open iCloud on your computer. Click Contacts. There is a settings button let you import the .VCF file. Just import it to your iCloud;
Third, on your iPhone, log in iCloud. Sync Contacts.

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.

I am unable to sync my contacts from outlook in xp to my ipad 3 have followed all instructions without success. Can any one help

Sync the photos back to the iPad using iTunes. You have to place the photos into a folder from which you sync photos. All photos that you want to sync to the device must be included in the main photos folder and selected to sync each time that you sync.
Connect the iPad to the PC and launch iTunes.
Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
Click on the Photos Tab on the right.
Click on the Sync Photos From heading in order to select it.
Select the photos folder that you want to sync from.
Select all of the albums or photos within the folder that you want to sync.
Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes

How do i sync google contacts in mac os 10.8.2 ?

How do i sync google contacts in mac os 10.8.2 ?

I was finally able to get PSE 11 to install by downloading the free trial. But first, I had to upgrade Adobe's Application Manager. I was then able to use the serial number contained in the confirmation email Adobe sent me from when I purchased it online.
Adobe sure makes it difficult to spend my hard-earned money!

HT204053 I am unable to sync all contacts on my iMac (which includes outlook for Mac contacts) with my iPad mini, how do I do this, I have enabled icloud on both devices and ticked all the boxes.

I am unable to sync all contact in my address book on my imac with my ipad mini, it looks like only icloud & yahoo contact sync leaving out the ones in outlook for mac. I have enabled icloud on both devices and ticked all the boxes.

Thanks for that, but my Outlook contacts are synced to and all in my mac contacts book, does this not meen they would go to icloud,
No, they are in the On My Mac account in the Mac Contacts app, not iCloud.
or are they in a different format despite being in mac contacts? If so can the outlook contacts be exported in some other way to icloud?
Outlook is not compatible with iCloud, check Microsofts site if you need more verification.
If you want them in iCloud use Mac Contacts and move them from On My Mac to iCloud. This will remove them from Outlook.

My phone has just done this for the second time, the first time it was in warranty and apple replaced it for free. It has now happened again and as the warranty is finished I'm being told it will cost £115 to fix (replace again) I've given up and I'm now getting a new phone.

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.....

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.

While syncing my google contacts with address book application on my macbook air I accidentally deleted directory services group on the left. How to get it back? Now I am unable to sync my contacts either with google or with icloud.

I use OSX Maverics. On my macbook air OSX 10.9.4. On the left side (groups), I have accidentally deleted the Directories group. Now I am unable to sync contacts with gmail. What should I do?

Add them back in Contacts/Preferences/Accounts. Use the + sign at the bottom.

HT4872 getting a ssl error when trying to sync google contacts

When I try to sync my calendar and contacts to google I get a ssl error. I try using the sync without and still get unable to verify. I've gone to advance and set the port to 443 as well

Keep in mind that turning off 2-step verification reduces the level of security associated with the Google account. If you want to maintain it and sync your google contacts, here is what to do:
Access your Google account settings. If you are in Gmail, simply click on your e-mail address in the upper-right corner and select the 'Account' link.
Click 'Security' in the left sidebar. Then click 'Settings' under the 2-Step Verification section.
You will be prompted to sign in again. Once done, click the 'Manage application-specific passwords' link.
Follow the instructions to generate a new application-specific password.
Use this password to log in as directed in the base CardDAV login process.

Can you use iCloud to sync contacts and still sync google contacts too

Just switched my contacts over to sync using icloud between my imac, iphone and ipad. Im wondering, can I sync the contacts somehow with google also? Would be great to gave everyting together and have web access to contacts on any computer.

I should've just tried it before I asked this question. Once I disconnected my internet completely, I was able to fully see and use my iCloud Documents, etc... They must be stored elsewhere on the computer instead of somewhere obvious like the Documents folder.
I was able to open, edit, etc... and it appears that once you do connect to the internet that the new edits will sync with what's stored on iCloud, and then become accessible to your other devices.
Of course, I then after doing all this, found a similar question which already had answers. Sorry to clutter up the forums.
