iPhone 3.0 upgrade: Google Sync contacts and calender gone!

I just updated my iPhone to the new 3.0 operating system it looks like it emptied the iPhone’s local cache of contacts and calendar entries from Google Sync. To get them synced up and working again just go to ‘Settings’ > ‘Mail, Contacts, Calendars’ > [Your Google Sync account] and turn off Contacts and Calendars. Your phone is ask you if you want to delete all local contacts and calendar entries (this is OK, there are none to delete anyway). Then, turn these both back on. This performs the initial sync to pull all of your contacts and calendar entries.

  1. Yes, i just updated my 2G iphone to 3.0, and during the synch process, bye bye 850 contacts. Then blew them away on my laptop and then our server. Apple store tech worked 4 hours and couldn’t solve issue and on top of that, blew up my prior iphone with the backup contacts, so now i’m dead.
