There are a lot of complaints on Google's android support forum regarding this issue. At least one person solved it by wiping their phone, but that's apparently not a cure for everyone. Apparently this is a known issue, and as usual, Google is not being helpful.
I'm having the same problem with picasa sync. I tried with Hard reset but no luck it still showing error and not syncing with picasa album. all other google services are working fine.

I was having the same problem - It was only grabbing a few old albums of mine and not syncing the newer albums from my Picasa Web Albums - I was so frustrated! But after careful examination, I noticed my wife's Picasa account was the one logged in on the Picasa desktop app, so consequently, it synced all the photos to her web albums and not mine. So I logged out of hers, logged into mine, synced to my web albums, and instantly all my pictures synced to my N1. Hope that helps anybody else having this problem.

it does'nt make sense... you just logged out of your wife's account from YOUR nexus one?
But all of us are having problem for not being able to sync the picasa album at all with our own account...
So what you are saying is that we need to log in onto computer from our account and then the phone should be able to sync the album to N1 while we are logged onto computer ?
please update us with more detailed instructions .. it will be very helpful if you can be more precise
i too am unable to sync with picasa. This is mainly because I created the picasa account after registering the phone and signing in. Using the Cyanogen Recovery image and wiping the phone right now to see if that fixes my issue.
Ill update if it did.
Yup confirmed...
I am running CM 5.0 Beta 5 and doing the Settings > Privacy > Factory Reset doesn't work.. I had to boot into the Recovery Image and do a full wipe of dalvik-cache as well as system wipe.
I just lost all my apps and have to redownload everything however Picasa sync is now showing up for me.
For many people this problem seems to be because they have an @googlemail.com account (even if you sign in with @gmail, the server knows that @googlemail is canonical). A bug has been filed: http://b.android.com/6431
If you look in comments 1 and 2 of that bug, you'll see support forums where Google stated on 19th January that they're aware of the bug and working on it. I have proved that for me in particular it is definitely because of @googlemail, see comment 4 of the bug.
Hey everybody....
since saturday im i proud owner of an i9000 and i love it. What a great phone! But i have two problems with it:
Im syncing my phone with my google account... There i have my calender und my contacts without contact pictures. So i synced it and evereything is fine, until now.
Now the second step: ive got a facebook account and after installng the facebook app, i can sync my contacts on my phone (my google contacts) with facebook and link them. In the facebook sync-settings i choosed to only sync all available contacts. Everything seems to be fine, facebook finds some contacts for itself and i had to link some contacts manually. But now the first issue... The contact pictures of the facebook contacts arent shown in the contact list. i can see that the contact is linked to 2 profiles (google and facebook) but it doesnt show the fb-picture. So the priorities arent right for that. But okay.. I found syncmypix and this is doing this job. its a workaround, not more!
Now my big issue... a couple of hours later i had a look in my contact list again. The people that were linked with two profiles (google and facebook) were now linked with 3 profiles. (1 google, 2 facebook). Still a couple of hours later, they were linked with 4 or 5 profiles... What is this? Can someone explain this?
Thx ín advance!

Same problem here ... except I have 3 time the facebook profile
You can forget the settings sync all contact which is inside the facebook app.
You just need to go in sync account and select the sync with facebook contact
With this I managed to have only one time the facebook profile
I still don't have the photo but I will try your workaround
FYI, I think this is a problem related to the new version of facebook 1.3.1. I never had these 2 issues before ( but as I changed also the firmware to JM5 ... I am not 100% sure of the reason ...)

Hu? Where do i have to go? When i go to settings - accounts and synchronisation my facebook account is deactivated when is disable the sync within the facebook app... when i enable it in the settings i also activate it in the facbook app. and now, if i try to link a gmailcontact to a facebook contact, there are only my gmail contacts and i cant choose one of my facebook contacts...
? just a little confused... its my first android phone and everything is ... confusing. (before i was a WM-junkie)
Thx in advance!

maybe you should try this.
1. Uninstall syncmypix (because I don't need this to have FB picture and contact)
2. Go to Facebook -> Setting > Don't Sync
3. Go to Contacts > Get Friends > Add Account > Add Acount (you may see 2 different FB setting, but a little bit different in colour) -> Facebook (under "Integrated contact Accounts")
share with us if you get this right

hmm, sound good, but does not work for me either... Now i dont see any facebook contacts in my contact-list. When i pick one of my contacts (that have facebook) i click add link, but i cant choose from facebook contacts, only my google contacts are shown. I found the reason for that... When i go to Contacts > Get Friends > Add Account > Add Acount and add my account i get a sync error....
Good idea, but does not work....
No i did the following, but no success:
i uninstalled this crapy facebook app. after that i go to contacts - get friends - and added facebook again. then i had a look at settings - accounts - see my facebook account but get an error with the sync....
For me, the only way to stop this from happening is to stop the Facebook app from syc-ing contacts. In the Facebook app, go to settings > other settings > don't sync contacts. This should remove the repeated number of Facebook profiles in your contacts. if it doesn't you'll need to reboot. At least until a fix is found.
With every reboot, it adds one more repeated profile to the contact list; if you reboot your phone 3 times you'll see 3 fb profiles.
if you installed facebook app and asked it to sync it can kinda mess up your links.
sgs dont need facebook app to sync contacts and calendar from facebook, it's built-in already so just disable sync in facebook app and then resync all accounts. should fix. worked here anyway.
Same problem that you.
I use European ROM and try to change the firmware several times but it stilll doesn't work.
The problem isn't due to the app 1.3.1 facebook cauz i've already try to synchronise with a fresh Flash, the app wasn't installed yet, but still no success

i can confirm this... I also use european ROM, uninstalled fb-app and tried to sync via buildin Facebook connection. No sync possible!
Same here. FB-app 1.3.1 fault?

Same to me.
everything was perfect, then I upgraded to FB 1.3.1
I started looking in the settings menu, and I noticed a sync option. I activated it, not knowing it was a different thing from the built in FB contact sync of the Galaxy S.
Well, it added several instances of Fb links for each contact (one more every 3 hours).
So I uninstalled FB-app and widget, I cancelled all references to FB from my address book contact list, I deactivated the built-in sync as well, restarted the phone and I tried to use only the built-in sync... IT DOESN'T WORK!!!
There's no way to get the phone sync the contacts/pictures with FB afeter that... I tried everything except reflashing the phone or resetting it to factory defaults
The bug is probably related to FB app 1.3.1+
Does anyone know if there's a directory in the internal memory to wipe in order to "reset" all this mess?

Facebook relaesed FB app 1.3.2... No possibility to sync anymore... But you can use, like i said before, Syncmypix to get the pictures from your FB contacts to your phone contacts.
Another optins is uning Phonebook 2.0 (but i personaly dont like it). For me syncmypix works great is is doing exactly want i want it to...

FB Sync App
The problem I found is actually the FB app. I think by now most of you would know this. I uninstalled the FB app, and instead just use the Contacts native sync to add in FB account contacts...every one on FB with photos is now loaded into my phone...once...
The failure is fixed.. I think facebook changed someting, now you can sync via buildin facebook sync.. and update faecbook to 1.3.2! Then everything will work fine!
After downloading and installing the Facebook application I "joined" them and created contact shortcuts on the Home Screen. What would happen then is that their default pictures and status updates would continue to sync when needed. But what's happening now is that neither will change-- not even after a manual sync. I am running CM7 and have tried uninstalling and "rejoining" only to find the same problem. Any ideas?
i could'nt sync my facebook account to my mobile
have you allowed it in settings in Facebook app?
Yeah I'd check Menu-Settings-Refresh interval in the App. Is it set at Never?
With CM7 I cant sync to contacts too.
Did you set sync type the first time you started FB. If I can remember correctly there were 2 options about contacts sync. Maybe try one or the other to see if there's any difference?
use friendcaster for android, way better than the official app imo
I have been facing this very annoying problem that I can't find a solution to. I am using the Jan 13 Energy ROM, and what happens is this: I add my Facebook account and choose not to sync any of my contacts. If I go out of the accounts settings and go back into it, I see that the FB account is syncing. Going into it, all three boxes for selecting different feeds are selected. I uncheck all of them and stop the sync. What I notice then is that my data connection *still* stays active, and contact info for all 900+ of my FB friends is downloaded to my phone.
What a friggin mess. I realize I can hide the FB stuff under the "People" tab, but under "Phone" everything shows up. I don't want any of the FB contact info to show up on my phone.
Is this a known problem? Or just a problem in the Energy ROM? Is there a way to just delete the FB contacts once they are done downloading?
