Select the Google services (Mail, Calendar, and Contacts) you want to sync. To receive and respond to
meeting requests on your device, both Mail and Calendar need to be turned on.
Unless you want to delete all the existing Contacts and Calendars on your phone, select the Keep on my
iPhone (or iPad or iPod touch) option when prompted. This will also allow you to keep syncing with your
computer via iTunes.
If you want to sync only the My Contacts group, you must choose to Delete Existing Contacts during
the Google Sync install when prompted. If you choose to keep existing contacts, it will sync the contents
of the All Contacts group instead. If there are no contacts on your phone, the latter will happen -- the
contents of your All Contacts group will be synced.
You've successfully set up Google Sync! Synchronization will begin automatically if you have Push
enabled on your device. You can also open the Mail, Calendar, or Contacts app and wait a few seconds
to start a sync.
