I've tried multiple times to sync contacts and each time it says “synced 0 of 0″. I've closed the program out and no change. Using Outlook 2007. Tried different options for syncing too. Please advise. Thanks.

No point complaining about free software. The developer has moved on. He posted this on open source and has not returned.

I get the same, “Error: Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection” on both of my computers. I had a problem with the Google Calendar Sync Tool as well. Someone posted instruction on how to turn on verbose logging for that tool. That helped me find the calendar events that were causing the problems. Too bad there isn't something like that for this program.

As others have reported, on the 1st sync (which ran for an hour) it reported “No match found for outlook contact …” on every record and didn't add any contacts to Google. I followed the suggestion to first delete all my Google contacts and import my Outlook contacts into Google, but still get this error. In addition, I now get lots of new errors, like “Warning: Skipping outlook contact” and “Warning: Invalid outlook contact” and “Outlook contacts with the same email have been found. Please delete duplicates”

This latest sync ran for 3.5 hours! It also made Outlook consume 1.2 GB of RAM, instead of the usual 70 – 100MB. And the RAM consumption did not diminish when the sync ended. I also could not close Outlook gracefully — the process continued to run and I had to manually terminate it.

I'm stuck.

For those like Idonelson struggling with the Outlook security pop-up requesting access, try Express Click Yes: http://www.contextmagic.com/express-clickyes/ It's free, and all it does is answer yes to this message. You can exit the program when the sync is done. 10 minutes was nowhere near long enough for my contacts to sync.

I tried sync with Go Contact Sync and received the following message:
Error: Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection.
What can I do to fix it. I have not been able to sync my google contacts into outlook

i've just installed and tried out this go thing and it didn't work. at first i was getting the same error messages as everyone else: “index out of range…” (i had no contacts at all in outlook). i then imported my contacts manually from google and ran the sync again. seemed to work but then i got the error message invalid outlook contacts (some of these contacts don't have email addresses or phone #s… they were synched to my google contacts via my blackberry. they are facebook contacts). once completed, i then got the index was out of range message. so, this thing workin or not?

Tried this. No errors, but it did nothing. I already had been using Google's calendar sync and was looking for its equal. I hope they get this working.

I just installed this app as I was looking for one like it for ages…

However after installing and trying to sync I get the message “Invalid credentials”

The user and password are correct, any ideas???

BTW - have tried GO several time (different versions as it evolved), and it has never worked (want Outlook to Google only).

I actually did try deleting all Google contacts, and re-importing from Outlook, but still doesn't work (logically, seems it should, though).

Have left message on the Go site, but to no avail.

A great idea - wish it worked.
