I'm trying to get my devices, mac, and google all synched up. Prior to google sync, spanning sync was working great. I love the over the air synching, but did not realize that my phones wouldn't be synching with the mac anymore. I saw that SS can remedy this- but what settings should I use? In the SS prefs if I try to synch to addressbook it says that I need to disable synching with google. The changes I make in my addressook don't seem to show up online. I would appreciate guidance as to how to get everything synched up. Thanks! Jason
