How to Sync a Mac Address Book With Google Contacts

• Answer:

  If you use contacts in Gmail as well as in the Address Book application on your Macintosh computer, you can synchronize the contacts by configuring your Address Book's account preferences. Synchronization between Google and Address Book was added to the Macintosh OX 10.5 operating system to reduce the hassle of manually adding contacts to either contact application. If you have duplicate contacts in both applications, Address Book will merge duplicate information and update the contact on both applications. Difficulty: Easy Things You'll Need Mac OS X 10.5 or later Instructions Click "Go" at the top of your Macintosh desktop screen and select "Applications" from the drop-down menu. Double-click the "Address Book" icon to run the application. Click "File" at the top of the menu and click "Export" from the pull-down menu. Click "Address Book Archive" on the sub-menu and select a folder to save your Address Book. Click "Address Book" at the top of the menu. Click "Preferences" on the sub-menu and click the "Accounts" tab at the top of the Preferences window. Check the box next to "Synchronize with Google" and click the "Agree" button on the pop-up window. Enter your Google account name, which is your Google email address, and enter the password for the account. Click the "OK" button to verify the account. Address Book will look up your Google account and will return to the "Accounts" window if the login is successful. Click the red "X" button in the upper-left corner of the "Accounts" window to exit out of the "Address Book" preferences. Click "Card" at the top of the "Address Book" menu and select "Look for Duplicates." Click the "Done" button once the application's duplicate search is complete.
