I am curious if i can sync my contact from my Gmail account to my address book on my Macbook Pro and vise versa,

I selected the SYNC WITH GOOGLE option, but if i add a contact in my address book on my Mac or if i add a contact thru Gmail, they dont show up on either end.

For instance...I end John Doe to my contacts in my address book on my Mac, I go into my Gmail account and John Doe doesnt show up?

the same goes for if i add John Doe to my Gmail contacts and then i go and open my address book on my mac, John Doe isnt there.

Am i doing something wrong? or?

This is my FIRST mac, so go easy on me! lol
 
Do you have an iPhone? I had this same problem when I used the "Sync with Google" option from WITHIN Apple Address Book, but when I used the option from within iTunes in the iPhone configuration it actually worked. The sync actually occurs just when I plug in the iPhone to the computer. That is to say, Google Contacts and Address Book will gather dissimilarities for a few days, and then when I plug my iPhone into my computer Google Contacts and Address Book suddenly reconcile/synchronize.

I don't know how to do it without an iPhone, and I don't know how to make it happen at other times.
