How do I find my address book in gmail?

I use gmail on a mac. I have to repeatedly edit my address book because gmail won't save my contact name.?

• Help! In my address book I have Mom. When I type in Mom in my address field in a new email, it automatically adds her last name which is listed NOWHERE in my address book. I have NEVER addressed my Mom as Mom "Smith". When I go back to my address book (after editing for the 100th+ time) it says Mom "Smith" again. How can I permanently remove "Smith" from the address line? Clearly this could be a problem if it was autofilling "jerkface" whenever I typed someones address. But how can I fix this? ARRGGGG!

• Answer:

  This is probably not because of your mac (I use gmail on a mac too). Gmail tends to use the name 'Smith' as an example, so maybe if you type in a different name instead of Smith and click 'save' a couple of times (do this in your Mac's address book and your gmail contacts) it'll work. Don't worry, it will never fill out 'Jerk face' unless somebody hacked or entered your account. Hopefully that helps! ;)
