I have set up my Mac Address Book to sync with my Google Contacts. I have created some groups in my Google Contacts and I have created some groups in my Mac Address Book. These groups are not identical. After a period of time shouldn't they be?? What should happen in such a situation? How is the best way to manage Contact groups? I have an iPhone, and was looking at apps to create contact groups on it, but held back as I seem to be in a mess with my Mac and Google syncing, without adding to the confusion. Thank you for any comments or suggestions.
From what I can see on the google website, the contact groups do not sync with the Apple address book contacts. Please, someone, correct me if I am wrong, because I have all my contacts organized on google, but at this time I don't think it can be done.
OK. I've done a bit more research and now I can answer my own question. I found this link:- http://www.google.com/support/contactsync/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=92997 and it says there:- <<4 Address Book groups syncing Currently, groups are not synced to Gmail. We're hoping to add this functionality in the future.>> I apologise if I wasted anyone's time.
I have not had very good luck getting Google to sync with my iCal events/ Address Book contacts. Frustrating cause I like Google and I would love to be able to have my info available in Google format for Chrome OS. I really am interested in a Chrome OS netbook. iPad is closest device I have to a netbook.
