Google sync

Google Sync: I use it, and LOVE it!

I used to have a T-Mobile G1 and really appreciated the seamless integration with Google products and services. That's why I was hesitant about getting an iPhone, but Google Sync has made it such a breeze! Now, I get the best of both worlds — Apple and Google all in one!

That being said, I still plan to keep my MobileMe account after the 60-day trial, primarily for the iDisk feature. Still a student, I love being able to sync my two computers so effortlessly. It's better than carrying around a flash drive, IMO, back and forth to school. (Yes, I'm aware that there are other free services that would effectively accomplish the same thing, but I prefer the ease of use that MobileMe appears to provide.)

Has google sync changed or something? Iam trying to backup my contacts again as ive added a few more numbers but once I try to sync it in iTunes isnt not copying over the new contacts.

Any ideas?

Ive just setup google calenders with the CalDAV Account and that works great so far

If you just want to backup google contacts, use the export function from the google contacts web page (use the google .csv format).

I was using Google Sync with my iPhone, but i just find it too unreliable. It starts pushing emails, but after a day or two, emails don't push. Even if i manually check for new email, they still don't appear. Went back to 30 min fetch. For the contacts and calendar sync i just rely on iTunes sync.

There's periods where the email sync is awful. It can very from hour to hour or day to day. We're just in a bad patch right now.

I use it. Much faster than MobileMe and its free.

I just dropped Google like a bad habit. I was constantly having to change my password due to "suspicious activity". That got old very fast. I was doing that once or twice a week no matter how complex my password was.
