what do you mean by this paragraph:? "To change the Google sync client type, open a terminal window and type (one line)
sudo defaults write /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/GoogleContactSync.framework/Resources/ClientDescription Type 'server'"

What do I do if I have a number of Ipods listed in the plist file? Which one should I update the Family ID on?

Yes, Is there any difference with Leopard 10.5.7 as the user before me asks? I followed STEP 1 completely (along with the "sudo" updates you posted 3 months ago... then I opened Address Book and found that there is no "Google Sync" available under Preferences/General.

I'm hoping I can get this to work.

I'm a new Mac user and hope that I didn't screw anything up.

Thank you so much for this. For a while I have been manually trying to sync two systems, this works like a charm.

Thanks.

Hi, thanks for the guide, but there is one problem. the .com.apple.ipod.plist file doesn't exist (apparently) unless you have connected an Ipod to your Mac. While I'm pretty comfortable hacking around, I'm new to Mac so I don't know if it is as simple as creating the file using a plist editor or not. I have a STUPID LG phone which I found out after buying it, won't sync with anything. Apparently LG refused to adopt a standard that nokia, sony, etc... did. I am adding this comment in case you want to share it with people. I would never have bought the phone.
But anyway, what do I do now, both your method and the alternative assume the plist file exists.
Thanks

I'd also like to have this working but unfortunately i don't have the file: com.apple.iPod.plist because I've never attached an iPod to my Mac.
I could use some help with that.

This is exactly the information I need, and this was not a piece of cake. Nowadays there are so many portals that it is very confusing plus they are not always easily interface-able. I mean it is still not a piece of cake, as there are many steps to follow. Let's see if I can do it. CakePoker

Hi, I was trying out your handy tip "How to Enable Mac Address Book to Sync with Google’s Gmail Contacts without an iPhone or .Mac [Mac Guide]" but the "com.apple.iPod.plist" file is missing completely from my computer. So I'm not sure what to do at this point.

Thanks
