In CompanionLink:
1. In the first selection box, select “No device – sync with Google”.
2. Click on the Gear icon next to that selection box.
3. Checkmark the “Sync to Google Tasks (Beta)” option.

That should do it.

Aaron – with the Task list open, click the icon in the lower right corner just to the right of the trash can icon. That should bring up a few options, including the ability to rename the list.

Hope that helps!

Hi David:

I’m dealing with the same issue. But I don’t see an option in Google to rename my task list. It uses my user name instead – in my case – Aaron’s List. Should there be an option somewhere to rename it in Google that I’m just not seeing? Thanks.

Glad it worked out for you. I’ll check in with our Support Manager to help ensure we’re checking for this early on in the call when an issue like this comes up. I apologize it took more than one call, but I’m glad tasks are syncing smoothly for you now!

Yep you fixed it!  Thank you mucho.  I did the same renamed my list back to “Default List” and it worked both ways, picked up the task in Outlook and the 2 tasks in Google and now I have 3 tasks on each! 

I cannot wait for multiple renamed tasks.  I have always used, and I am sure everyone else at least two, business and personal.

Thanks again David!  You might want to tell that to first line support so they don’t have people calling twice, then escalate the call for a 3rd call for such a simple fix.

That was it! After renaming my default list back to “Default List” it works great. Thanks David Z!

Currently if a you are syncing with Google Tasks (beta) and you rename your task list to something other than “Default List” the sync will fail. If you have one or more task lists, and none of them are named “Default List” one list needs to be renamed “Default List” – that’s the one that will sync. 

In the near future we plan to update CL to work with renamed task lists and multiple renamed task lists. Watch for updates on this, and let me know if the above solution fixes the sync issue for you!

I am having the same problem with Outlook 2007, Google Tasks, CompanionLink v5 and Windows 7.

That does sound odd – what version of Outlook are you using? I’d like to look into this further for you to see what’s going on.

Hello, I configured the new product version (build 5004) to synchronize calendars, contacts and tasks.

Calendars and contacts are synchronized, but tasks are not synchronized.

Outlook tasks are not sent to google and google tasks are not sent to Outlook.

However, I did check the “Sync to Google Tasks (Beta)”

Thank you for your help because this function is very important to me.

Best regards
