Gmail acct suddenly not syncing

I'd been using Gmail via the Mail app as an Exchange account with no problem, as well as gmail's Contacts and Calendars, and suddenly this morning it's not working.
I can access Gmail in Safari fine, and do not have 2-step verification enabled.
I restarted the iPad.
I deleted the Mail account in Settings, tried to set it up again as an Exchange account (as before, using m.google.com) and got a verification error.
Tried to set it up as a Gmail account, got "user name or password for imap.gmail.com is incorrect"
Tried to set it up as "Other", with server imap.googlemail.com, didn't work either.
Tricks for getting gmail to sync with the ipad Mail app as well as gmail's Contacts and Calendars?

SAME, just happened today, both on my Ipad, Iphone 5 and Iphone 4.
The Gmail app works fine, so too accessing it via the Web. Something has to be up with the iOS mail app.

My Gmail account is not syncing

My Gmail account on my iPhone 4 does not remove emails that I've deleted from my computer. I have tried going to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Select the Gmail Acct > Advanced button; But I don't have this option: Delete from server like I do with my Yahoo account.
Is it not possible for the iPhone 4 to sync with the pc gmail account? I hate having to delete emails twice. Thanks.

I don't think this is actually an apple issue but a gamil account setting issue
I think both the POP and IMAP are enabled on your gamil account.
Try accessing the settings to gmail via the gmail web site, not your iphone app.
Find the cog symbol on the top left, then go settings>Forwarding and POP/IMAP
then in the POP Download area select "disbale POP"
Save the settings.
hope this helps

IPhone iPad calendars suddenly not syncing

My iPhone 4S and ipad2 calendars suddenly stopped syncing. Checked the settings both are set to sync to cloud. Read all the help and think I have tried everything from rebooting, removing cookies etc. I am completely baffled as to why and how to fix. Please help

I actually asked you to go to icloud.com website, that is not available for ipad/iphone, you can do that on pc.
You kind of answered my question inderectly by that sentence "I have discovered that if i make or change something on the iCloud calendar in PC it will sync with both iOS devices."
Now what I think will fix your problem is going to calendars (on both ipad and iphone)
1. click calendars button in top left
2, uncheck all other calendars but icloud.
3. go to settings - mail/contacts/calendars- scroll down to calendars -last line default account - change or verify it is icloud.

Gmail contact addresses not syncing properly in iOS 4

Since updating my 3GS to iOS 4, I've noticed a change in the way contact addresses are entered: there is a separate field for each individual address component. The problem is that all my contact addresses are now populating the fields incorrectly. The street address line goes into the street address field okay, but then the city, state and zip all get put into the "city" field. If a contact has an address with two "street" lines, then the first goes into a "street" field correctly, but then the second "street" line goes into the "city" field, and the city, state and zip all go into the "state" field.
I use Google Sync to sync up my contacts with my Gmail account, and since address entries in Gmail are free-form, I wonder if this might be an issue with Apple parsing the address data incorrectly. It seems it's just spitting up the data into the fields using line breaks (which is quite clumsy, IMHO).
_Address in Gmail:_
12345 Sesame Street
New York, NY 10022
_Shows up in iPhone contacts as:_
Street: 12345 Sesame Street
City: New York, NY 10022
State:
Zip:
If I fix the address so each component is in the correct field on my iPhone, each address component displays on a separate line in Gmail, which looks ridiculous.
Example:
12345 Sesame Street
New York
NY
10022
Has anyone else experienced this issue with iOS 4? Is this an Apple bug or a Gmail bug?

You are not alone!
I use mobileme to sync my contacts data, as opposed to gmail... so I am unable to provide advice.
However a quick search on here shows that you are not the lone ranger:

Browse some of those pages mate and see if there are any resolutions that will work for you.

Gmail - Label contents not syncing to iphone/iPad

Want to change my preference and have synch come directly from my Adobe Photoshop elements photo files. No option to do anything with photos appears on iTunes. appreciate any help!!

Gmail IMAP does not sync

I've had my IMAP gmail account set up in mail.app for a few months. At first, it worked perfectly -- the two would sync up relatively quickly, both in terms of labeling/deleting email, and noting whether they were read or unread. About a week ago, mail.app started synching right after I would open it -- and then it would eventually label/delete email correctly, but would not change an unread message to read if I left it in my gmail inbox. Now, it isn't even labeling/deleting email -- it won't do anything except right after it is first opened. Manually telling it to synchronize has no effect -- the little clock icon in the account list doesn't even appear. I'm wondering if this has something to do with the 10.5.6 update -- after which, I did run the stand alone Mail update, hoping it would resolve this behavior (even though I wasn't having stability problems) -- but it didn't. Any ideas?

Remember, *Gmail is still beta*. That's not an accidental labeling oversight by Google. My sense is that Google is still struggling with reconciling IMAP, which is folder-based, with Gmail's new approach of using tags instead of folders.
I think if you use Gmail via IMAP, you're going to be having sync issues in one way or another. The unanswered question is whether or not the Gmail team has painted themselves into a corner by choosing to reinvent the wheel (tags instead of folders to organize email). Gmail may never make it out of beta, if these problems keep surfacing.
I think the best solution (which I'm having a hard time accepting myself), is to switch to Thunderbird, since the open-source community seems to implement fixes faster than the closed-source community. Thus, as the Gmail team deploys new code, the Mozilla team will tweak T-bird to cope with the change, and probably do it faster than Apple.
Other thoughts? I accept my amazing talent at being completely wrong...

GMAIL folders/labels not syncing

Hello, have wasted at least four hours trying to fix a really basic problem - it's immensely frustrating, and to be frank I'm at the end of my tether googling for solutions.
I have multiple gmail accounts set up into different filters/folders on my main Gmail - the other accounts forward into them etc.
On my 9700 all emails were shown.
On my Q5 ONLY THE MAIN account gets emails.
This is despite:
- Selecting the folders in the folders option
- Doing all the IMAP settings etc
- Following every single piece of advice on this forum and crackberry
Please, PLEASE can someone tell me a solutions else I burn my Q5 immediately. Thank you in advance!

The very first question is, are the messages to which filters are being applied also being archived? If so, they would be bypassing the device inbox and would appear only in the account sub folder(s). If this is the case, tap the Hub icon (bottom left while in the Hub), and select your main account. Then tap the down arrow at the top right to show the sub folders (aka Gmail labels). Check one that you know should have messages.
If no messages are there, leave the Hub. From the home screen, go to Settings > Accounts and select your main Gmail account.Scroll to the very bottom and select "Edit Folder Settings". Select all, or specific folders where you want the email synced from the Gmail server to your device. Save and exit. Depending on how much you're syncing, it may take a while. If there's a lot of messages, you may want to be on WiFi so you don't use up your data plan.
Give this a try, then report back, please.

Calendars/Contacts suddenly not syncing

All of the sudden, i can't sync my calendars or contacts to my 3G Nano. Was working fine last week, but I noticed last night they were suddenly gone (on the nano). So far, nothing I've done seems to work. Any suggestions? The only thing I've done differently was to enable auto-syncing with .Mac (which seems to have a problem right now). Could that have an effect?

Hi, I have had the same problem since at least patch 1.1 (I can't remember having issues with the sync in earlier patches, but definitely had other problems instead).
Reading this post, I tried the re-setting thing a couple of times. While about 1/3 of my contacts are loading, at best, only my todo list and one out of 7 calendars are loading.
I have no idea what to do, I even tried restoring the iPod several times without luck, so I'll be going to my Apple Store in Sakae today and try and explain in my broken Japanese I'd like to have a new Nano. I'm hoping it's just my iPod, cause my Bro in Japan has the same and he doesn't have any problems with it.
Anyway, thanks for the tips guys!

Suddenly not syncing

I recently went though a lot of my events and found lots of duplicate photos, and some that needed to be rotated. I deleted duplicates, fixed orientations, now I can't sync to the iPod Touch. Music syncs fine, but when it gets to the photos, I get the following error in iTunes, "The iPod cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (-50)."
I did some experiments. If I sync certain albums, no problem, add others, get the error again.
Could I have somehow corrupted my photos? Is there a way to check the database somehow for integrity? Not having any problems within iPhoto, just can't sync anymore. ???

An -50 error is a “Error in user parameter list“, so I hope that sheds light on things for you
It may be that iPhoto cannot find a specific file to sync.
Try create a new Library - Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library' and import some pics. See if they will sync from that library.

Gmail account suddenly not accessible. How do I gain access?

Had no problem until today accessing my gmail account. When I check for email the screen displays "checking for email" and does not stop displaying "checking for email". I cannot get current email on my iphone.

I can access my gmail normally from any PC. I attempted to delete the
gmail account as you demonstrated and it wouldn't let me. It displayed
account already exists, would you like to edit? or cancel. I use the
gmail 2 step password verification if that info helps you figure this out.
I was able to access my gmail on my iphone for about 2 months after
initiating the 2 step verification process.

Gmail on iPhone4 not syncing with Gmail on apple Mail

Hi. iPhone newb here.
I have a gmail account that I access through apple mail. I just got a new iPhone4 and set up my gmail account on it. My problem is that the two don't seem to sync up. When I read or delete an email on apple mail on my home computer, it doesn't get marked as read or deleted on my iPhone.
Is there a way to resolve this? It's annoying to have to manually keep them both consistent.
Much thanks in advance,
Steve

You need to change your Gmail settings from POP to IMAP (on the Gmail website). AFTER you have made this change, delete the Gmail account from your iPhone and then re-add it. You will need to do the same delete/re-add on your laptop.
After doing these steps, your iPhone, laptop, and webmail should all be in sync with each other.

Mutiple Gmail accounts, suddenly not DL mail

I have four email accounts in my mail for the iphone, three gmail and one Yahoo. With the latest OS for iphone upgrade, my connectivity to some of the email accounts has been intermittently down. One of my gmail accounts constantly gives me the error message that the username and password for imap.gmail.com is wrong. I'm connected to wi-fi this morning and even email accounts that I haven't been having trouble with aren't able to download new mail. I've reconfigured each email account, deleted and reset up each account already, no luck.

If you are using the Exchange mail option for accessing your GMail account (the only option that allows 'push'!) then sadly that feature was discontinued by Google in January 2013.
Old phones that had it setup will still work, but new phones will not. It allows you to setup the account but it will not connect to retrieve email.

ICal suddenly not syncing with iPod Touch

Up until I downloaded 2.0 for the iPod touch I haven't had any problems syncing iCal with my iPod touch. Now, nothing appears to be going back and forth. I have restored the software on my touch a couple of times; once I even had it restore the touch as if it was a new iPod (rather than restoring the backup). I've reduced the number of calendars. I've tried the "Advanced" feature at the bottom of the "Info" tab (i.e., "Replace Information on the iPod"). In reading other posts, I've noticed that others are having this problem with their new 3G iPhones. What is going on? Any solutions?

Same problem here and it's much worse after most recent update for iPod touch. I cannot get ANY entries to iPod Touch to update in iCal nor entries I put into iCal to update to Ipod Touch. Any help would be appreciated. I've tried everything I know to try. Thanks!

Notes suddenly not syncing properly?

I've been a keeping a list of iOS 7 problems which I periodically update as I come upon something new. I did an edit of that list on my iPhone 4S while my iPad 4 was updating my photo streams. When I then went to Notes on my iPad, I had two copies of that list, one the previous version and one including the additional items I'd just entered on my iPhone. Never had this happen before. Went back to my iPhone and now I have both versions on it, too.
Closing down the Notes app on both devices and then re opening did not resolve the problem.
Anyone else having this problem?

Try a Restart.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Resetting your settings
You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple.
Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.
