Although the Google sync built in to Contacts is okay, it's not new to Mountain Lion - it exists in Snow Leopard and possibly even Leopard. However, it is pretty limited as it only syncs between the local "On My Mac" contacts and Google - you cannot enable Google sync for your iCloud contacts.

If you use Gmail or Google voice on your Mac but also have an iPhone and use iCloud and you want your Google contacts to stay in sync, you need to get a third party app to do this. There are a couple (you can search the iTunes store) but in my mind the best of them is "Contacts Sync for Google Gmail" (https://itunes.apple...451691288?mt=12) - they just released a new version a few days ago, and one of their best features (to my mind) is the ability to sync photos with Google contacts (although its ability to synchronize groups between the Google/Mac/iCloud might actually be even more useful.

I don't want to add all my Facebook friends to my Contact, but I would like to add the Facebook field to my existing contacts—is that possible?

It would also be useful to have a similar feature for LinkedIn.

When will we be able to print an ALPHABETICAL LIST of contacts? It is absurd that Apple has not yet fixed this limitation in Contacts.

I don't know why anyone cares about integrating with Facebook, Twitter or Google. As an adult, I don't need or use any of those.


Hahahaha. Congratulations on self-sequestration, monsieur luddite. I suppose you said the same thing when mobile technology was introduced. Those confounded kids!

When I try to autofill a web form it uses the wrong address. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for any help you can provide.
