Although I LOVE the calendar portion of Spanning Sync, I am afraid to touch the contacts syncing anymore. Let me explain...
I posted in a different thread about the contact photo problem, and never really got a resolution. I am sure it poses an interesting problem, because google stores smaller resolution photos than Address Book or the iPhone. My only suggestion to fix this would be a one-way sync option for contact photos and/or contacts entirely. I have a Google Account, Address Book, Spanning Sync (latest) and a MobileMe account. However, and it may be related to the same problem, I again tried turning on contact syncing last week, reassured in the fact that I had an address book backup and Time Machine to revert to a backup in case things went bad. Well, I was pleasantly surprised that initially, everything looked like it was going well. After a sync, my contacts looked OK, and with the addition of no "Suggested Contact" syncing, I was left with a pretty good sync. If I remember correctly, there were a few duplicates, but this may have been due to previous attempts at syncing with google. Unfortunately, I then realized that ALL of my contact photos on my iphone and Mac were gone. Since I spent a good deal of time selecting those photos, I attempted to restore my address book from the saved archive but still got no photos back. So, I opened Time Machine and reverted back to a few hours prior. I almost want to give up, but the "fixit" mentality of me wants this to work. Ultimately, I don't use google contacts that much, but I would like my google account to reflect my address book, or things start to get out of sync. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Spanning Sync" group.
