Hi All,
After the release of iCloud and it prompting me to turn off Google Sync, my address book behaves very strange. After a day or so with iCloud I realized that I was happier with my Google Contacts being controlled by Google sync on al my devices. (Gmail, MacBook Pro, iPhone 3GS, iPad 2) I turned off the contacts component of iCloud on all devices, and re-enabled Google Sync in address book. Funny thing is this, what ever contacts were present when I first set up iCloud on Oct 12, are the only ones I can see. Now if I go to my phone, pad or Gmail and add an address, I open address book on my mac, hit sync, it prompts me that the follow changes will be made to my contacts on this computer. The changes suggested are exactly as the ones that I made. Problem is, when I hit sync, it does not to the the contacts as displayed on my mac book in address book. My phone, iPad and Gmail are all fixed correctly however.
It almost seem that there is a hidden address book that I cannot see. All these changes seem to be recognized by the google sync feature on my mac but it never applies the changes to the contact that I see. If I then sync with another Gmail account that was otherwise empty, it sends all the contacts as desired, yet I still see no changes on my mac. I seem to think the somewhere in my mac lies an address database that I cannot see. Maybe there is a file i need to delete or move.
Any help or advise would be great. Until setting up IOS5 on my iPhone/ipad I was fine. As soon as iCloud prompted me to turn of Google since is when it all seemed to start.
Thanks in advance.
