   I followed this advice and what I’m left with is zero entries in my iPhone contact list, phone directory and iCal. Now, I’m desperately trying to figure out how to get my info back. I’ve lost my ability to re-sync my info in my Macbook thru iTunes because those check boxes have gone away. I can access my google calender thru Safari in my iPhone but not my contacts. I don’t want a webpage calender or contacts list. I want the apps in the iPhone to do what they are designed to do. This didn’t work out the way I expected at all!

   Hi Dale,

   somewhere in the Google Sync site, they explain also how to backup first before actually doing the procedure. Google Sync allows you to “use” your contacts and calendar in Google as your main source, disabling iTunes syncing for your Mac’s Cal and Contacts. But it’s a two way sync, if you still have the contacts and calendar in Google you can have them back on your iPhone.

   Hey dude!
   This was probably the second or third thing I did after I turned on the iPhone… I remembered your post and came to check it out again!

   Just followed the link and Google’s instructions were perfect… I’m so happy to see Calendar and Contacts all pimped out on the iPhone’s interface! It even allows you to set the alarm from gcalendar’s interface! AWESOME!

   PS: I kill u :>

   Thanks Odrakir, I just (finally) got my iPhone after letting my Verizon contract die, went looking for a way to synch contacts so I wouldn’t have to type all the info into the iPhone, and found exactly what I needed here. Sure, I mostly needed the info from Google, but they didn’t show up as high in the search results… a bit ironic, eh? 😉

   Anyway, cheers for the help, keep up the good work
