Updating contacts from gmail to ipad

what is the best way to sync gmail contacts to the new Ipad Thank you

Setting up GMail as an Exchange account is the FAR superior method.  That way any changes you make to contacts are pushed between device and server.  You also get the benefit of Push e-mail for your account (when set up as a "normal" GMail account in iOS, e-mail does not Push).
If you set GMail up as Exchange, just be aware that there's an additional tweak you have to do if you want deleted e-mails to actually go to trash.  In the native iOS Mail app for GMail there is a setting that determines if deleted e-mail goes to Trash or All Mail (archived).  But when you set up GMail as Exchange then the default is for deleted messages to get archived, and there is no setting on your iPad to change that.  Instead, use Safari on your iPad to navigate to m.google.com/sync and set your preference directly on the server -- note that you have to do this from the device itself, not a computer.

  • Deleted duplicate contacts from icloud and want to sync updated contacts to iphone and ipad?

    Can anyone help with this?
    Deleted duplicate contacts from icloud and want to sync updated contacts to iphone and ipad?  Did it on icloud cause have duplicates on ipad and iphone also

    Check icloud.com to be sure you contact list is correct there.  If it is, just go to Settings>iCloud on your device and turn Contacts to On to sync the contacts to your device.  If contacts are already set to On and you still see duplicates, you may be viewing a duplicate contact group in addition to the iCloud contacts.  Open Contacts, tap Groups, then tap any groups other than iCloud to uncheck them, then tap Done.  See if the duplicates are still there.

  • I recently updated my iPhone 4s to ios6, and lost 1200 odd contacts. I have a backup from about 4-5 months ago avaiable.  Can I add/update contacts from the back up rather than restore which i assume will literally delete any new contacts added...?

    I recently updated my iPhone 4s to ios6, and lost 1200 odd contacts. I recently sold my macbook air and also my mac book pro, so have no recent backups avaiable.  I have a backup from about 4-5 months ago available on an external hdd as a time machine backup.  Can I add/update contacts from the back up rather than restore?  The reason i wish to do this is because in the update i didnt lose any messages, so all of the people i have met and networked with since that last update those many months ago, i have in my messages listings.  They are all unidentified numbers at present but over time i will be able to work through the messages and based on the conversation recall who each was with.  Also, yesterday, some two weeks after the update had left my contacts list entirely empty... a vast majority just reappeard, though all of them are without any phone numbers, all just emails or facebook contacts.  This is the work of facebook not mac/ios6 isnt it...?  Any help here would be greatly apprecaited.  I am about 2 days from flying to canada and having those contacts would make life a lot easier.

    You should be syncing your contacts with an app on your computer or cloud service (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, etc), and not relying on a backup.  If you haven't been doing this, start now and then restore your old backup.  You will then be able to sync the new contacts back into the phone.  However, you will lose all messages, etc newer thant the backup.

  • How to Display All Contacts From Gmail ..?

    I hate Blur.  There's something there that only shows a subset of my Gmail Contacts.  I know on my wife's Ally and my OLD Nexus One I just went in and added the extra "groups" but I don't see that on the X. 
    How do I get to see all my Gmail contacts?
    Update: looks like it's only displaying My Contacts from Gmail, not the groups I have.

    So is the only way to get all contacts to sync across (or at least, to appear; they are on the phone, just not displaying - search and you can find them) is to make them all in the My Contacts group in Gmail?  That is pretty silly.  Isn't there another way?

  • HT2500 Can I import my contacts from Gmail into Apple mail (Snow Leopard)?

    Can I import my contacts from Gmail into Apple mail (Snow Leopard)?

    That says Reset Documents and Data, not Contacts.
    I want you to go to www.icloud.com, login and see how many contacts are there, because they are all the iCloud contacts. Any contacts that are not there, are not on iCloud.

  • How do  transfer my contacts from gmail and exchange to icloud?

    How do i transfer my contacts from gmail and exchange to iCloud?

    No it won't. As far as i know there is no ways to have contacts synced with both Google and iCloud at the same time. Linked card concept is just a means to help you organise cards representing a same identity.
    When you make changes to a card, it will push the change to the account that this card is synced.
    Hope this help.

  • Can't sync my contact from iPhone to iPad Air

    Can't sync my contact from iPhone to iPad Air.
    If I add a new contact in iPad Air it appears on iPhone. If I delete this new contact on iPhone it is also deleted on iPad. But the whole contacts of iPhone cannot be imported in iPad.
    Please help me! Who has any idea?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Please try the following…
    First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.

  • Pushed contacts from gmail on iPhone 4 not the same as iPhone 3G

    Hi
    I use gmail (via Microsoft Exchange setting on the iphone) to push all of my contacts from gmail onto my iPhones contacts and this worked great on my iPhone 3G.
    However, since upgrading to an iPhone 4, whenever I add a new contact on my iPhone, the new contact isn't pushed to my list of gmail contacts when I sign in to gmail to check.
    What I have found is that if I back out of all contacts and into groups, there is now a tab called "On my iPhone" and when I hit this I see the contacts that I have added from my iPhone. I want it to go back to the way it was before and for it to be that every time I add a new contact on my iPhone, I want it to be added to my gmail contacts and not on it's own just on the iPhone.
    How can this be resolved please?

    The U.S. Apple store publicized as the type of Sim-free iPhone, and not as a contract-free.
    Now in the Apple store site, including the FAQ for purchasing iPhone4 unloked, is written:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC603LL/A?mco=MjI4NTM2NTM
    "Why does the price of the unlocked iPhone differ from the price of a contract-based iPhone?
    Carriers typically subsidize the purchase price of the phone when purchased with a service contract. By purchasing your iPhone unlocked, you are not committing to a service contract up front, so you can use any micro-SIM card from a supported GSM carrier, including your current one"
    I wonder why I pay the same price as a phone but an identical unlocked, it is a fraud

  • Syncing contacts from GMAIL to IPHONE

    So OF COURSE, like all things tech/software related for me, I've tried everything I've found on how to delete contacts, clean up contacts, sync from Gmail, and I just flat out CAN'T.
    Tried this: http://support.google.com/mobile/bin/answer.py?hl=en&topic=14252&answer=138740
    and of course, the "What would you like to do with existing local contacts on your Iphone" screen does not come up. I already freaking HAVE gmail on this phone, adding it as an MS Exchange account does nothing for me.
    Tried mass deleting via itunes info tab>advanced. It simply "syncs" and is finished in 2 seconds. Go into my phone, I STILL HAVE 3800+ CONTACTS. So that didn't work either. SHOCKER.
    Tried like 3 apps, looks as if I've succeeded. Go into my phone, 3800+ contacts.
    Besides WHY ME? my question is, does iCloud have anything to do with why these freaking things won't go away?
    I want to accomplish 1 of these 3 things:
    Have ALL my contacts currently in my phone (or on the cloud) replaced with my gmail contacts.
    Have ALL my contacts currently in my phone replaced with gmail contacts AND facebook contacts, with all data (phone numbers, bdays, email addresses, ect) related to that person, under ONE contact. I have 2 numbers, and 2 email addresses for Maddie Jackson, why the **** would I want to display that as 4 contacts?!
    Delete ALL contacts currently in my phone (or on the cloud), so I have ZERO contacts when I tap the freaking phone button, then export my gmail contacts FROM gmail onto the iPhone. Can someone PLEASE help me?!
