Active sync not syncing google contacts

Not sure why but only calendar and email sync. I have my google setup as a domain host so my login is not actually a gmail account, although I have one of those too. Any ideas how to get this working?
thanks

Syncing Google Contacts without a GMail account.

I use my personal email address as my Google ID. I have absolutely need for a gmail account, but I do use contacts, bookmarks and other services.
I have tried to sync my Desire to my Google accounts, but it tells me "does not use Google Mail" and won't let me proceed until I sign up for a googlemail address.
Is there any way round this without signing up for an email address I will never use?

Google Apps?

but even a google apps domain should work absolutely fine...or at least they always used to..
of course, if you have literaly signed into igoogle with your own email address and do not actually have a googlemail account, be that normal or google apps domain, then yes, you would need to sign up for one. that's just how it works.

Thanks for the quick replies.
I do literally sign into Google with my own email address and it works fine for all of the web-based services I ever use. But if I have to, I will setup an inbox which will never be used.

General Android question apps username or google account?

I have a google account ***@gmail.com and this is linked to my google apps e mail ***@customdomain.com.
I don't use the google account gmail address at all, only the google apps account. Presumably, my phone (when I get it) will ask me for my google account details so which should I use?
I see from another thread that paying for apps necessitates a google account login that is linked to google checkout rather than a google apps login. I don't want to get things too complicated but at he same time I want all of my contacts to be synched with my google apps account rather than my google account.
Does this make sense and can anyone suggest what I should do?
I definitely don't want the main e mail address and contacts list to be my @gmail.com address. Thanks

Don't sweat it! It isn't a problem.
Set up your phone with your Google Apps for Domains account.
Everything will work just fine, up to the point when you want to purchase some apps from the market. It will then just ask you for another account to link to Google Checkout, purely for purchasing purposes only - all your purchased apps will still be linked to your Google Apps for Domains account.

google account does not add and just loops.

So I had created another account/YouTube and it won't let me add an account. It says"there was a problem sign-in into your account". I've tried unsycning accounts but even that's doesn't work.
