    If you get errors syncing, try turning off some of the sync services. When they first announced the 'push' addition, I jumped right on.. but couldn't get it to work. Finally I turned off Calendar and Tasks and it worked (I didn't try Contacts yet).

    Just re-enabled Calendar and it seems to work ok.

    Tasks still seems broken (maybe I haven't signed into Tasks on Google or something). I get the following error:

    Result:
    The server could not be reached. This can be caused by temporary network conditions:

    Support code: 0x85010005


    That's actually a different error than I got before. The result and fix are the same, though. If you get a weird error and it's blocking your other items from sync'ing, try turning off some of the services.. in my case, Tasks seems to be causing some serious problems.

    Google Sync does not include tasks.

    Hi Alex,

    Thank you for your comments. Yes I did copy the instructions from Google as i did not feel a need to rewrite the instructions since it worked for me. Now, I did set it up for email only.

    Linley.
