TS3899 Why can't I get my Gmail account to work after my ipad reset?

Took my ipad to Apple store due to a software problem which was fixed by doing a reset. I then restored and backed up/sync'd my ipad in ITunes and iCloud. Now I can't get my gmail account to work on my iPad. It won't send or receive emails and I keep getting the message that my user name or password are incorrect, which I know they are not. The message is "the user name or password for imap.gmail.com is incorrect"...  I tried deleting and re-adding the account, powering down the iPad but to no avail. I can log into to gmail on my computer so I know I have the correct password.  Any thoughts or ideas? Don't really want to go back to the Apple Store again....

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

    Why can I not get a gmail account on my macmnini?
    It tells me "unable to confirm account name or password.
    But the same name and password worked on my ipad 2.

    If you have a Gmail account and you've activated 2-step verification, you need to generate a new "application-specific password" in your Google account and enter it in place of your old password in the Keychain Access application.

    No idea.
    Perhaps if you gave a few details of exactly what happens, exactly what you've tried, exactly what troubleshooting steps you've taken, and what error messages you get we may be able to offer some suggestions.
    However, with zero info to go on, it's impossible to say.

  • Why can't I get open type features to work properly with an open type font on InDesign CS5.5?

    I installed a very complete set of styles of an opentype font with Font Book – Mac OS X 10.9.4 – but when I tried to format a sample text on InDesign CS5.5 I noticed that I could not use the opentype features on the Open Type menu as I usually do.
    Could anyone help me, please?

    It's ffScala Sans, but has separate files for small caps, figures, etc.
    I was trying to use small caps, lining figures and superscripts when I
    noticed none of the OT features are available.

  • Why can I not use my gmail account calendar on my MACbook Air?

    Why can I not use my gmail account calendar on my MAC, when I try to sync it, it says "secure connection cannot be established" Is there a setting I don't know about?

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

    Why can I not get my iPhone Playlist to match on my iPad and PC. I want my iPhone Playlist to appear on my PC and my iPad.

    Yes I understand the PC is where everything is maintained and my playlists used to reside there and that is where I created them. However, they are now gone and only appear on my iPhone and I am trying to figure out how to get my Playlists to show back up on my PC so I can manage the songs.

  • Why can't I get my icloud account to register my new email on my iPad. I have managed to change it with iTunes and Apple.

    I bought an iPad and opened up an iCloud account now iCloud won't register my new email address on my iPad! Why?

    Okay, got it working!
    My process was pretty straightforward (of course, everything is, in hindsight):
    (1) Go to my user library folder
    (2) Do a spotlight search for the word "mail"
    (3) Delete something that looks like it might be related to/possibly interfering with Mail's operation
    (4) Try Mail
    I repeated the above process a couple of times and poof, Mail started to add my accounts!  First, my Gmail account, and then, after disabling and re-enabling my iCloud account inside System Preferences > iCloud, my iCloud account too!
    The file I believe was the lynchpin was located here:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/Library/Mail
    Give that a shot if you can't get your iCloud/Gmail email to show up in Apple Mail 7.1 (1827) under OS X 10.9.1, despite the accounts seemingly adding succesfully in System Preferences.
    IMPORTANT NOTE: This may delete mail you have stored locally, so please do not attempt if you store your email locally (i.e. POP email setups).  I think for IMAP setups (e.g. iCloud & Gmail) this is just deleting the cached versions of the emails, so they'll just get rebuilt once the email is downloaded from the server again.

  • I cannot get my juno account to work on the ipad

    i cannot get my juno account to work on the ipad

    Hi Cantonvase.
    I am going to asume that you have a MBP 13" Mid 2012 as you have in your profile.
    First check if you computer is updateing the spotlight.  Second. Make sure the Icloud acount is activated. (using your apple id and password). Once that is working, and all of these are made, repair permitions and wait be sure all programs are close. Reset the computer.
    Once that is done. Go to system preferences, Select Security and Privacy. Then select privacy and see if maps is seleccted in location services. In order to change that unlock the lock and add the password fom you computer.
    If that is check, we can see what we can do next.  Also make sure that diagnostic & usage is selected, so all these info be send to apple for making these better. 
    One step at a time. 
    I work 2 instalacion. One clean install and 1 upgrade. The clean isntall has being perfect so far. I only find 2 errors so far and i am working on those right now.

  • Why can't I get secure mailing lists to work in IMS 5.1

    I am having problems getting secure mailing lists to work at all. I
    have been battling with iPlanet support and have gotten no where. Evan
    though a local user or a remote email user is listed as allowed senders
    in the IDA, it still will not let either send a message to the list. I
    checked to make sure that the allowed senders showed up in the LDAP
    entry as mgrpallowedbroadcasters and they are. I evan set up a test
    server from scratch and ran into the same issue. Each time an allowed
    user tries to send they get the following error:
    SMTP Error: 5.7.1 you are not allowed to use this list:
    [email protected]
    Anyone else seeing these issues?? Does anyone what could be going
    wrong??

    I'm not sure what is happening, but here are some tips to help debug the problem.
    Put MM_DEBUG=5 in your option.dat file and recompile/restart dispatcher. Put master_debug slave_debug in the defaults section or only appropiate channels and then recompile/restart dispatcher.
    The resulting logs should give you information about just why it is failing.
