Adding new gmail accounts, mac not letting me

I have an old gmail account which has been "saved" on my computer. It no longer works and I'm trying to get rid of it so my kids and I can access our new gmail accounts. When I pull up gmail, it automatically wants me to enter the password to the not valid account. I try to change accounts, add accounts, etc. Only my son's email will pop up. We click on it and then it reverts back to my non-valid account. The computer has saved this old non valid account and I cannot figure out how to get around it. I'm sure it's a saved setting somewhere but where?

Since adding a gmail account, I am stuck with it. I cannot delete it. I cannot add a second one. Worst of all I cannot restart the computer as it tells me that Mail will not let me restart!

Hi!
I understand that Computer 1 is synced and you see something like this when you access the Sync Tab under Preferences: https://support.mozilla.com/media/uploads/gallery/images/2011-01-27-15-46-25-9c0352.png
And in Computer 2 you get a window similar to this: https://support.mozilla.com/media/uploads/gallery/images/compcode.jpg
But when you click on Add Device the following window doesn't appear: https://support.mozilla.com/media/uploads/gallery/images/2011-01-27-15-46-48-5f59d1.png
Is this correct? If so, please let me know what you see (a screenshot will be handy).
You can also set up the second computer following this instructions: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How%20to%20sync%20Firefox%20settings%20between%20computers#w_what-if-im-not-near-my-first-computer

HT201320 New gmail account. Will not accept password with 1 capital letter and 1 number. What do I do?

Creating a new gmail account. The new account will not accept a new password. What have I done wrong?

After you have updated your device to version 5.1.1, have you tried resyncing everything from your iTunes yet?

I have tried to add a NEW GMAIL Account into Thunderbird and after i use the automatic configuration finder and Password confirmation, it does not display

I tried to set up a NEW Gmail account in Thunderbird But it will not display eventhough it confirms that the configuration is correct and that the password is Valid. Please NOTE that i previously was able to set up the email account correctly in Thunderbird but was encountering some errors and i therefore deleted it using the Account Actions menu.
I have repeated this action probably probably 5 or 6 times and I still cannot see the new email account in Thunderbird. I can only see my other Gmail Account
Would appreciate someone sharing with me a step by step answer to help me fix this problem as I have no clue

Sounds like the Google Less Secure Application situation. Go to gmail and read what they have to say about this.
FYI: Deleting and reinstalling accounts or Thunderbird software is not the best way to solve problems. It usually never solves a thing and can cause more issues as you are seeing. It is best to troubleshoot what you have and fix those issues.

Cannot setup new gmail account

Wow, this is frustrating.
I have Gmail accounts already set up on my iphone. But I am trying to set up a new one, and sync only the calendar. I tried this with an existing account I want to use to see calendar entries on my iPhone and I tried creating a new Gmail account as well. Same results.
On my iPhone4, I went to Settings-Mail, Contacts, Calendars-Add Account-Gmail. I put in a name, the full email address, the correct password, and a description. When I save, it verifies successfully. Then it asks me to turn on Mail, Calendar, and/or Notes. I only want Calendar for this one (although I have tried selecting each of the others as well. I've tried this many times now) so I turn it ON and the other two OFF and press SAVE.
It says "Adding Account" at the top. Next to that is the spinning circle wait cursor icon. And it stays like that forever. At least 15 minutes with me touching the screen everytime it went dim.
I also tried it a different way. I added the account as described above except I left everything off (Mail, Calendar, Notes). The account did add! However, when I went back into the account and tried to turn on Calendars, it says "Turning On Calendars" with the spinning circle. And stays that way forever. Once again, I let it sit that way for 15 minutes as well.
Help?

Okay, so two hard resets (pushing and holding home button and power button together) in a row did the trick. I had done it once already prior to posting this. I did it again, and then for laughs I did it a second time. And to my amazement, it worked. Thanks for looking at this topic. Issue resolved.

Is that disc for Mac systems or Windows ?
I suggest you visit Lexmark web site and download and install drivers for your exact printer manually.

If I download all my emails from my gmail acct to thunderbird, can i then export those emails to a new gmail account? or do they stay in thunderbird?

my gmail acct was recently comprised. and i was exposed to a phishing/fraud thing and the hacker scared the heck out of me:/ and i am afraid to keep my gmail account that i have had for over ten years now. so i created a new gmail account and i want to move all my emails from old acct to new gmail acct and then delete my old gmail acct. will thunderbird assist me with this? or i may just upload all my old emails from my old gmail to thunderbird and use thunderbird exclusively but can i delete my gmail acct without affecting thrunderbird? gosh i hope this makes sense. haley

''re :my gmail acct was recently comprised. and i was exposed to a phishing/fraud thing ''
Did someone actually gain access to your account or did you just get someone abusing your email address without your knowledge?
There are unscrupulous idiots who abuse other peoples email addresses and send emails using it. This is actually more common than you would like and has happened to me as well. Do not respond to these emails.
Tell you friends you have had someone abusing your email address and I suggest you create a HTML signature file to use in emails that you send. Tell your friends that genuine emails from you will alwways have the signature, so that they can tell the difference.
After a while the abuser gets bored and moves on to their next victim.
Usually, your account has not been hacked; just the email address abused.
To check there is no malware/virus on your computer logging keystrokes or similar, download malwarebytes:
https://www.malwarebytes.org/
then restart your computer in Safe Mode and perform a scan using your Anti-Virus software and the malwarebytes program.
Once you have the all clear, then update your passwords.
Do not post personal information & email addresses in public forums as this is typically where abusers find the info. I notice that phillipp had to edit your question to remove personal info.
It is easier to forward emails from one email address to another via the gmail webmail account.
You do not say what type of mail account you are using.
If Pop then the emails will be downloaded from the server Inbox to Thunderbird Profile account name Inbox. Ususally, the copy is deleted off the server, but settings can be modified to leave a copy on the server.
If IMAP then you see a remote view of emails on the server.
you subscribe to see folders. email headers are downloaded and when you select to see an email, it is retrieved from the server and stored in a temp cache. These emails are not stored in Thunderbird, they are on the server.
If you synchronise those subscribed folders, then a copy is downloaded to your Thunderbird Profile, but these folders are constantly updating to match the server. If you delete any email via Thunderbird or webmail, it will be removed from both as these folders are one and the same.
So if you have IMAP then they are stored on the server then you will only have a copy at best.
If you want to get a copy into Thunderbird and delete everything on the server, you need to synchronise your subscribed folders to get full up to date copies in your Profile folders.
Then go into 'offline' mode to stop further synchronising, then move all emails into 'Local Folders' mail account. Local Folders is a special mail account - emails in this account are not efected by the server. Remember to create folders to keep your emails organised.
Once you are happy that all emails are in Local Folders account, you can delete the mail in the IMAP mail account and then remove the old gmail account if desired.
You can create a second gmail account in Thunderbird regardless of whether you delete the first one or not:
* File > New > Existing mail account
If you put them in Local Folders then you can move/copy emails back onto server after creating new gmail account
OR
simply create the new gmail account and move emails between
Or
Leave the emails in Local Folders to read/store. But these emails will then be only on your computer, so creating a backup would be advisable.

Hey AvaLondon,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues setting up your Mail account on an iPhone 5. The following resource may provide a solution:
iOS: Gmail account will not connect to Gmail server
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3058
Resolution
1. Check that your device is connected to the Internet by opening Safari and loading a webpage, such as google.com. If you cannot connect to the Internet, try the steps in this article.
2. If you have other email accounts on the device, check if those accounts can send and receive email.
3. If the issue is isolated only to the affected Gmail account, visit this website: https://www.google.com/accounts/DisplayUnlockCaptcha.
Complete the form to unlock the account.
4. If the issue persists, follow this Google support article.
5. Once the account has been unlocked, or the correct password entered, check that the issue is resolved. If not, remove the affected Gmail account from the device and add it to the device again: Settings > Mail, Contacts and Calendars > Add Account > Gmail.
Thanks,
Matt M.

HT201320 Added a gmail account on iPhone IOS 7 software.

I am trying to install an app. When I click install, my old gmail account shows and asks for my password etc but I have a new gmail account that is associated with my apple id. How can I get it to default to the new gmail?

I am trying to install an app in my iphone. When I click Install, my old gmail account comes up for verification and it asks for my password etc. I dont use this account anymore and have a new gmail account that is associated with my apple account. How can I get the new gmail to default when I am trying to install apps?

Did you create a NEW Apple ID or did you change the email address for your OLD Apple ID? This will affect how you update apps in the future.
Anyway, go to Settings/iTunes&App Stores, log out, then log in with the new ID.

To check if you have a virus, you can download ClamXav
also, go to Applications>Utilities>Activity Monitor and see if there's anything that you don't recognize, and check your sent email to see if you've been sending emails without your knowledge.

How can I sync contacts from my iphone 3gs to a new gmail account?

I've just set up a new gmail account and want to sync the contacts from my work phone to contacts in my gmail. I have nearly 700 contacts to sync so I'm looking to do this in the easiest (and most reliable!) way I can - any pointers? Or tips on how to make sure I don't lose them all in the process of syncing?!
Cheers,
S

Begin by backing up your contacts as a precaution. You can do this using the free app My Contacts Backup, which will back up your contacts as an attachment to an email. You send the email to yourself, and can later open this email on you phone and tap the attachment to re-import your contacts if necessary. Once you've done that, set up your gmail account as an exchange account as described here:
http://support.google.com/mobile/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=138740. Turn on contacts syncing and when prompted select Keep on my iPhone to keep the existing contacts on your phone from being deleted (step 13).

I upgraded to OS7 and then found a new gmail account on my iPad. It has put all my ntlworld emails into this new account and says they are all unread. How can I delete this unwanted account?

If his Gmail account is under the Gmail app and press the app until it wiggles then press the extra deleted. If this account is under the Apple email and then you can go to Settings, mail contacts calendars and then select the account and remove it.

Any & all links in my Gmail account will not open. In order 2 confirm Firefox subscription I had to confirm using Explorer. I just switched Browsers today with much disappointment. I cleared cache and cookies and tried all else I know but no luck.

Any and all links I click on from my Gmail account do not open.
