Many, many thanks. THIS solved my issue when syncronizing my contacts from Google on my new Windows Phone 8.2

I lost all my contacts when synced iPhone contacts. Luckily, this video guide about iPhone contact recovery http://www.youtube.com/watc... helped me out.

Thank you so much for posting this, was having really trouble finding any advice on this certain issue, and having half of my contacts was so irritating. You're amazing.

This does not work for me unfortunately. A lot of my contacts are marked as "OTHER2" or "OTHER3", so I find and replace this with "Work" or "Mobile". However, when I import the updated contact list, then click on the contact in the gmail contacts, it labels the number as "WORK" or "MOBILE" and thus refuses to sync with the iphone still. Am I doing something wrong?

Glad to here it helped. Yes, the "other" field will not sync nor will custom fields. There apparently is a new way to sync with the release of the iPhone 5 but I'm not sure if it remedies the core issues that the field mapping is having.

Thanks this was very helpful. My wife has been using Android but just got an iPhone and this was the last piece to get the Google experience working fully on the iPhone. I found that there were two main problems:

1. iPhone doesn't like phone numbers labeled "Other". I replaced all instances with "Home".
2. If a contact hasn't been flagged as "My Contact" then it won't show up. Using your method it was easy to flag all contacts as "My Contact".

Jules: Do you have Google Sync set up? Even with Exchange, I believe you have to set up Google Sync mobile and set up your device to synchronize. This will basically create a sub address book for your Google Contacts. It sounds like when you are adding contacts on your phone into gmail, you are simply adding the contact to your gmail account which is different than adding the contact to your address book and it then syncing to your gmail contacts via google sync. Hope this helps.

Vinit, I really do not know. If you didn't back up, I would assume not but perhaps someone out there has figured out how to restore. Sounds like you are using your last backup so at least you have something. One thing to check is if you have been using Google Sync, iTunes may have wiped the phone but perhaps your contacts are still intact over in your Google Contacts. If so, you may be able to pull them back across. I would assume the same would be the case if you are using a different mail provider like Yahoo! Mail. Best of luck.

Customization worked only for few of contacts. My iPhone was bringing up custom labels no problem, then all of sudden with only a few contacts it would completely omit all numbers. I think you solution is good, but not if you MUST have custom fields.

Hi, I really hope you can help. I have spent about 2 months trying to fix my issue. Here is what happens I set up the account as an exchange account and it works fine up to the point of email. For some reason whatever contacts I have in gmail won't show on my phone but when I add a contact on my phone under my gmail account it will show when I log into gmail. So for some reason it will push contacts from my iphone to gmail but not from gmail to my iphone... Please Help!!!

This is Bullish re Fb as a platform. Agreed. Considering marketing outfits (direct, services, analytics) work years to derive these types of customer insights -- demographics, psychographics -- direct, explicit, permissioned shares of this info - x900MM - should clearly be platinum.

We use tse insights as we can to tailor experiences. That will evolve. The more nimble - Fb included - can evololve them further and faster.

Hi Lou! The email I sent you was returned. A simple find and replace didn't help, but I haven't analyzed
the doc you sent me. I handed this project over to my husband because I
couldn't take it anymore, and he has yet to touch it.

I will definitely let you know when we've figured it out! As of right now,
we've made our contacts work in Google Contacts online. Our phone
numbers all show up on our phone, and if we need addresses, we go online
to get them either on the phone's browser or on the computer. Not the
best fix, but it's working right now.

Thanks again for all of your persistent help. The internet sure makes it a small world.

Jeff: Great to hear from you, hope the family is doing well also.

Agree, my sense is sentiment is something they are gleaning from the comments themselves. Know there was much debate regarding the "dislike" button in addition that they did not go with. Like means interested or engaged more than anything. But you are right, marketers care on interest, engagement and also reputation. Many firms focus in the area of reputation as well as it is critical to understand the positive and negative WOM (word of mouth) taking place around your brand.

Jeff Baer — Mon, 23 Jul 2012 14:23:34 -0000

Nice post, Lou. I bet it would be possible to add a "sentiment" tag to comments (+/-) and glean even mire insight (the lack of a dislike button spurn voluminous negative comments). Another thing to ponder. My Facebook friends are roughly 50/50 male/female. But my comments and likes to my posts are more polarized by gender, depending on what I share. That would be valuable to marketers in targeting. Are they already looking at this? Hope you and family are well. Jeff B

Becky: No worries. If you want to send me your email address, I can send you an example record. However, before that, quick question. Did you follow all of the steps? Export your Google Contacts as a .csv, do the search and replace, save and then upload back? The reason I ask, is you need to do a search and replace on ALL of the fields. Thus if you search for "home" and replace all instances with "Home", that should get all of your address fields into the format that Apple will detect when you re-import the contacts and then sync. Hopefully that makes sense.

Becky Emerick — Thu, 05 Jul 2012 10:08:26 -0000

Hi again. I really appreciate your replies as I try to figure this out. Our phone numbers look great, but on our iphones, the address fields for my gmail contacts don't appear. They do show up in Google Contacts, just not on iphone. I've considered manually editing the csv for each of the bazillion contacts, but I'm not sure what it is supposed to look like. Could you copy and paste a (ficticious?) contact from your csv address that works from gmail to your iphone? Then I can duplicate it. I can't tell you how much I appreciate the help. (Banging head against the wall for months.) I've considered just switching to a google contacts app - but I don't think they work with Siri.

loupaglia — Tue, 03 Jul 2012 14:32:47 -0000

Becky: I haven't noticed an issue with duplicate labels between phone and address. In fact, I think that is okay. The most common issue I've seen is the capitalization of the field label. When you do your search and replace for "home", use a capital H. Thus replace each instance with "Home". Let me know if that helps....

Re: Google Contacts syncing issues with the iPhone

Becky Emerick — Tue, 03 Jul 2012 13:52:19 -0000

Hi! I'm having this problem with the addresses. What should the address field be named? Mine was named "home" which is a duplicate of "home" for phone number. What should the label be for the address? Thanks! This is driving me crazy... but I appreciate the help.

It worked perfectly. It may look like hard work at first, but it isnt, really.
