![]() ![]() Yet another rarity today’s software support climate. Lastly, prior to purchasing I had a couple of questions and the developer responded to both in less than 24 hours. About 15 seconds later “everything” in Gmail mirrored my iPhone contacts and groups. To test this app when I first installed it, I manually removed all contacts and groups from Gmail contacts and did a one-way sync from my iPhone to Gmail. I have well over 500 iCloud contacts on my Mac synching to my iOS devices, along with about 20 groups. In fact, regarding your iCloud contacts and Gmail contacts, there is nothing this app won’t do, though you’ll likely need the “Unlimited Syncs” and “Automatic Contact Syncing” in-app upgrades (for me, absolutely necessary), and well worth the small in-app purchase prices. Other users, me included, want to have only iCloud contacts on my Mac and sync them to my iOS devices, yet also sync these contacts (one-way) to Gmail. Many users want to maintain their contacts in Gmail and sync to their iOS devices…this does it. It is one of those rare apps that does absolutely everything the developer says it will do. The problem is that occasionally I need to use the Gmail web app and the only way I could ever keep my contacts in sync there was to keep exporting them from Apple Contacts and importing to Gmail, which was truly a huge pain.īut Contacts Sync for Google Mail completely eliminates this problem. I prefer to use Apple Contacts and Calendar, synching them with my iOS devices. Neither company has disclosed specifics, but these general terms appear in a wiki hosted at Microsoft.While I am a big fan of Gmail, I only like Gmail itself, not Gmail contacts or calendar. Update: Several people have asked me about the licensing agreement between Google and Microsoft over Exchange ActiveSync. Winter cleaning? Time to switch to from Gmail, so your calendar/contacts keep syncing. So today's response from Redmond shouldn't be surprising. Microsoft exec Chris Jones wasted no time posting this tweet: Microsoft has been aggressively targeting Gmail customers for months and has stepped up its campaign recently. For users of other platforms, including Windows Phone 8, it's a headache. Paying Google Apps for Business, Education, and Government customers can continue to set up new devices with Google Sync after this cutoff date.įor iPhone users, as Larry Dignan has noted, this is a clear pitch to spur use of the Gmail iOS app.If you have a free Google Apps account (grandfathered in following last week's announcement), you will also lose Google Sync support. A Google spokesperson confirmed via e-mail that users of free Google Apps accounts will not be able to set up new Google Sync connections after January 30, 2013.You will instead have to use a Google app or configure your account to use IMAP and synchronize accounts separately. But as of January 30, 2013, you will no longer be able to set up a new mobile device this way. now the issue i am facing is: The number of contacts restored on both the phones is different. If you are a Gmail user, you can continue to use existing devices set up with Google Sync/Exchange ActiveSync. I have 2 Samsung Android phones and both are synced with 1 gmail account.So what does this mean for Google customers?
