Sync to Google Contacts not showing in my Address Book

Please Help! I wanted to start Google Contacts sync in my address book, but the function is no longer available! I am running OS X Leopard 10.5.7 and the checklist option under preferences disappeared! Is anyone else experiencing this?

Macbook 3,1 INTEL CORE 2 DUO 2.2 GHZ, Mac OS X (10.5.7), 2.5 GB RAM, 320 GB HDD

I'm having the same issue! Have you discovered any solution? I just did a fresh reformat and could not for the life of me get my contacts to sync with my MobileMe account. I kept getting an error saying that the data was corrupt. So, I decided to try syncing with google but the option was no longer there.

I figured out a solution! You must first sync an iPod or iPhone with the computer and then this enables the google syncing functionality! Hope that helps.

That totally fixed it! It's odd that you have to do this to enable it though/ Must be an update bug. I hope Apple Geniuses are taking note on this.
