Are you on Mac or iPhone? Another possibility that would probably work better esp. if you are on iPhone is to create a Exchange connection to Google using the m.google.com server address. I have only gotten that to work on a Windows 6 phone, but I know there are folks on this list that do use that with their phone. Also might be worth a restart of your system, just in case the google sync program has not been started it should auto-start on next login and/or boot.
