Leopard 10.5.3 Brings Sync with Google Contacts

by , 3:40 PM EDT, June 2nd, 2008

Apple's release of OS X Leopard 10.5.3 Update last week now allows users to sync their Mac OS X Address Book with Google Contacts.

"We're happy to tell you that starting today, [May 28] it's easier to sync up your contact lists. The Address Book application in Mac OS X 10.5.3 now lets iPhone users sync their Address Book with Google Contacts. To try it, go to the Address Book menu, choose Preferences, and then check Synchronize with Google. It’ll ask for your Google account and password, then automatically update your contacts every time you sync your iPhone," Mike Morton wrote for the Google Mac Team.


The feature is only available in OS X Leopard, version 10.5.3 or later.

This is ridiculous. The google sync is something that I've been hoping and waiting for. I payed money to use ALL the features of the operating system. Why should I have to take the time out of my day to hack my machine in order to get something I PAYED for.

I am disappointed that they are so desperate that they are shoving the iPhone down my throat...
