    My contacts are on latest generation ipod touch ios version 4.1 and I want to sync contacts with a gmail account. So I followed these instructions setting up an exchange account. At step 13, I selected the keep on my ipod touch option because all contacts are there and I want to load them into gmail.

    When I select contacts I have four groups,
    All Contacts
    All from my PC
    Exchange - Contacts
    Exchange - Exchange Global Address List.

    All my contacts are in the first two folders.

    I cannot figure out how to get the contacts into gmail

    That's what I did, a while ago, and if you followed the instructions it should be working. It does a Sync whenever mail is checked, so that's the first thing to check: does an email to your Gmail address arrive on the iPod? If not, your settings are wrong. Then try creating a contact in Gmail on the PC and see if it lands on the iPod - and vice versa.

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    I can send mail from and get instant notification of received mail to the exchange account. One test contact I added in gmail appeared on the ipod

    So the access settings are correct. However I cannot get the sync working from ipod to gmail

    Without a reply, am I to assume then that it's not possible to sync contacts stored on Apple device to Gmail?
