Anyone have success with this?

I see the option in Address Book preferences and I enter my Google account ID and password but no syncing takes place.

I have the same problem. I've already got my google contacts and calender sync'd with my iphone and I followed the google guide for leopard address book but it's not working for me.

Supposedly this was to be fixed in 10.5.7, but as you, I see no syncing in Address Book. iCal sync's fine and always has, but I can't get Address Book to sync with Google at all.

Some resources that may be of use:

Lifehacker - Enable Google Contact Sync Without an iPhone or iPod Touch - Address Book
How to Enable Mac Address Book to Sync with Google’s Gmail Contacts without an iPhone or .Mac [Mac Guide] : Zaphu

Was able to sync my Google contacts after reading both.

Yeah, it worked. The information (links) you gave were great. I am still testing it with my setup (and expectations

) but lookin' good. Thanks for your help.
