Google Sync stopped working

[LarryMcJ]

I noticed I had about 25 duplicate entries for every Google contact and anniversary, synching from my Google Calendar. I unsubscribed from "Contacts & Birthdays and Anniversaries" on my desktop and then did a sync, and as expected it deleted all the birthdays and anniversaries on my HTC Incredible.

I then subscribed again to the Google Contacts "Birthdays & Anniversaries" calendar....made sure they were being displayed in the Google Calendar, and then synched the phone again. Nothing. Synched it several times and everything works...even a new test event, but the Birthdays & Anniversaries are not showing up. Any ideas?

Newbie here.
For the past several hours I've been getting this message with regard to Google only. "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly." Does this happen often?

I got advice in this thread about a similar problem, cured it for me:

Thanks for the great ideas, but the only thing that worked was a hard reset.
