syncing iphone contacts with Gmail contacts through itunes

[miraishak]

is there a way to sync my iphone contacts and calendar with Gmail contacts and calendar directly through itunes?

when i am on itunes and i open teh drop menu next to contacts, i only get teh option of windowns contacts or outlook. i saw in some blogs this same drop menu having google contacts as well.

i jsut have a gmail account. does it ieed a google plus account or something? why isn't it appearing in the itunes menu?

i have iphone 4 running ios 6.1.3 and the latest version of itunes.

My suggestion:

Export your Gmail contacts to a CSV file and them import them on iCloud.com. That way it'll sync.
