Why Pay For MobileMe When Google Sync is Here
Warning: If you try this backup your contacts as it will erase them
So you guys have probably read that google has put out google sync for the public. The good thing about this is that users like me that don’t like spending money such as on services like mobileme from apple can now use the service that is exactly like theirs for FREE. Check out the vid below
Go to their ==site== to check it out and try it for yourself. Don’t forget its in beta and its still buggy!!!
So here’s the scoop on synce. I have successfully had it working since the first day it came out. I have a list on what works and what doesn’t work as well.
- Contacts sync fine +
- Calenders sync ok but it still is buggy and if you have more than 5 syncing then it glitches -
- Mail does not get pushed to the phone so be sure and disable mail when you set up google sync.
=========================================================
So after using all the instructions I had a small problem which was copying my contacts to gmails contacts online but i managed to get it working. I would recommend backing up your contacts by following gmails instructions but i did my own. I got my addressbook files from my iphone which is in var/mobile/library/addressbook/ and there are 2 files there just copy both of them to your computer so you have a sure backup of your phonebook. If you want them back just drag those back to where you got them from and they should re-appear.
Also if your on a mac and you want to sync your addressbook to your gmail account go HERE which is a program called a to g and it will convert your address book to csv format and then all you have to do is go to your gmail acount-click on contacts-click on import which is on the right side and choose the csv file that you created from your address book and viola there they are and they should be syncing to your phone ;-p
