    Gmail contacts and OS X iCal/iPhone Contacts Info Request

    Thanks for this. I wasn't aware that Address Book was the main contacts repository for Mac OS X. One followup question- does iTunes (and thus iPhone) sync contact from Address Book as well? Also I'm wondering if I really want to *sync* (instead of export) Gmail contacts with Mac OS X Address...

    Apple MacBook 13.3-inch 2GHz does not continue to boot up.
