Apple Mail won't Authenticate Google Login with 2 Step Authentication Enabled

Is there a way to authenticate a Google Account added to Apple Mail using 2 Step authentication?
I am using the 10.10.3 and trying to link my google email account to Apple Mail. I use 2 step authentication for Gmail, but when trying to add this account to Apple Mail, I type my username and password and the next window asks for the code generated by my device. This code is not recognized when logging in. Further, I have tried logging in with an Application Specific Password generated by google, but this fails to work as well. Any help is greatly appreciated. This issue has been plaguing me since 10.10.1 and Apple says its Google's issue. Any workarounds would be helpful.

  • My phone has the correct AppleID in the in settings section but asks me to login with one that isn't mine.  I deleted the ID from my itunes but it still won't let me login with mine. How do I get my iPhone on the same page?

    My iphone4 has the correct Apple ID in the information settings section and asks me to login to my ID most of the time but when I try to update my apps, it asks me to login with an ID that isn't mine.  I deleted the wrong ID from my itunes but it still won't let me login with my own ID to update apps.  How do I get my iphone on the same page?

    How did you obtain these apps? All apps are DRM protected & tied forever to the account used to originally obtain them. They cannot be transferred to another Apple ID(account), nor can they be updated using any Apple ID other than the one that was used to originally obtain them.

  • Apple Mail won't send invitations when initially closed

    I just started using iCal to send invitations for appointments through Apple Mail. When Apple Mail is opened already when I create the appointment and click Send in iCal, it works fine. The mail is sent and delivered to the appropriate address.
    But if Apple Mail is closed initially, the application starts and the invitation is queued up in the Outbox but is never sent. I can manually open up each invitation in Mail and send them individually, but why is the behavior different? Whether Mail is opened or closed when I send an invitation, it ought to deliver the invitation automatically. By not being sent, I may not realize the invitation hasn't been delivered, making the process very error-prone. Is there a way to guarantee the invitation actually gets sent without having to check the Outbox every time?
    Is this an iCal bug or an Apple Mail bug? I saw no settings in Apple Mail for sending messages at shutdown or any other setting like this. Instead, these invitations may end up being buried in my Outbox for a very long time before I notice and by then, it may be too late.

    I am writing to report a software incompatibilitiy between Mail and Gmail accounts with 2-step verification enabled.

    Gmail provides application specific passwords for these circumstances but those aren't working for me with Mail:

    Based on a review on online forums it seems many are having this problem.  I urge Apple to figure out a solution and I hope someone in this community has figured out a workaround.  If you have please share!
    Also if you're having the same issue please share that too.

  • HT2513 How do I syncing iCal with Google Calendar with 2-step verification turned on?

    MacBook Pro
    Lion 10.7.3
    I am writing to ask for help in connecting my iCal to my google calendar with 2-step verification turned on.
    While google has application specific passwords set up, they don't seem to work through iCal or though Mail, Contacts and Calendars.  Any ideas or solutions would be great.
    Thanks

    Thanks Kao. I've tried that.  Didn't work for me.
    I found a reply in another thread that indicated that after setting up in Mail, Contats and Calendars I needed to delete my account from within iCal then recreate it in iCal using the application specific password.  I did that.  iCal seemed to accept it, I've closed and reopened a few times and it seems to be working now without the errors.
    I was able to get it to work yesterday temporarily - hope it sticks this time.

  • With Multi-Factor Authentication ENABLED how can a admin connect remotely to manage Office 365 with PowerShell

    With Multi-Factor Authentication ENABLED how can office 365 admin connect remotely to manage Office 365 with Power-Shell ?
    When I key-in my credentials, auth fails with invalid username and password ?
    Does any know the procedure ?

    This question was closed over a year ago.   You will  need to start a new question.  You can post a link back here if you think it helps.
    I also recommend asking in the O365 developers forum for how to do bulk license upgrades.  You can use the answer here and just remove and then add the new license. 
    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  • Apple Mail won't save "Use Autodiscover service" with Exchange

    Apple Mail is discovering the wrong servers when connecting to Exchange. I want to set it manually so I uncheck "Use Autodiscover service" and put in the correct servers. But when I quit and restart Mail, it automatically rechecks "Use Autodiscover service" and automatically picks up the wrong servers again. Can some one suggest why it won't save my setting and how to make the unchecked setting stay unchecked?

    Well first, I'd recommend your IT folks configure Autodiscover to return the correct results ;-)

  • How do I restore just Apple Mail (and all its folders & settings) with TM?

    Hi folks,
    I was trying to set up an e-mail client on a PC, clicked and unclicked my gmail pop & imap on and off, and when I got home to my Apple MacBook, I had inadvertently reloaded (twice!) every e-mail that I've ever gotten in g-mail to Apple Mail which I use happily at home! No matter what I do, Apple Mail just won't delete the 29,000+ emails. And Mail is hanging, I suspect it just can't handle the massive numbers of e-mails and all the attachments, images, etc.
    So I figure I must start from where I was at last Time Machine backup. I want to restore everything about Apple Mail as of my last backup -- all the same folders, saved mail, preferences, etc. How do I restore just Apple Mail but nothing else? Thanks!
    -- Josh

    I've never done that, and don't think I've seen any similar posts here. You might want to look in the Mail and Address Book forum at: http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1223
    Take a look on your system at +<your home folder>/Library/Mail.+ (List view is probably best for this).
    You'll see a number of folders for accounts and mailboxes. There are separate folders for each account, and within them for various mailboxes, plus folders for "on my Mac" mailboxes.
    With Mail off, of course, I think you should be able to restore either the entire Mail folder, or selected sub-folders within it, via Finder > Time Machine.
    After you do that, you may need to use the +Mail > Mailboxes > Rebuild+ option in Mail.
    (Do not use the specialized Mail > Time Machine +Recover your <named> Mailbox+ option there, as it will leave the current contents alone, and restore the messages to a new "restored" mailbox.)
    Let us know if this helps or hurts.

  • Apple Mail won't connect to Gmail

    My Apple Mail 4.5 has been working fine up until a couple of weeks ago.  I don't know what happened, but now it won't connect to Gmail.  It says something like port 993 time out?  I've been searching online to find solutions, but none of them seems to work.  I can still log in thru webmail and I've already checked to see if my POP and IMAP are enabled in Gmail settings.  Please help Apple Geniuses.  Thanks.

    Anything here help?

  • Apple mail won't close

    hello,
    I'm on a new imac using apple mail (setup with 3 imap accounts).
    apple mail works fine when using it, but when I'm done with it and choose to quit the program, it gets stuck. It just sits there and won't quit.
    I have to open a command line and do a kill -9 to kill apple mail.
    What would cause this?
    the same imap accounts work perfect on mozilla thunderbird.
    Thanks,
    Oskar

    Hello Oskar.
    Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network, choose Network Port Configurations from the Show popup menu, and make sure that the configuration used to connect to Internet appears at the top of the list. Leave checked (enabled) only the port configuration needed to connect to Internet and Built-in Ethernet (in that order if not the same), uncheck (disable) the rest of network port configurations and see whether that helps — if it doesn’t, turn ON again the ones you want enabled.
    In Mail, open Window > Activity Viewer. What do you see there when Mail refuses to quit? Actually, you may be able to avoid having to force quit Mail by canceling whatever it’s doing (by clicking on the red stop icon of the activity).
    Do you have any Mail plug-ins? In the Finder, go to each of the following folders (if they exist). What do you see there?
    /Library/InputManagers/
    /Library/Mail/Bundles/
    ~/Library/InputManagers/
    ~/Library/Mail/Bundles/
    To make accurately reporting that information easier, open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal, type the following command (you can just copy it here and paste it in Terminal), and press <Return>. You can then copy the output of that command from Terminal and paste it in your reply to this post:
    ls -1 /Library/InputManagers /Library/Mail/Bundles ~/Library/InputManagers ~/Library/Mail/Bundles
    Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. You can easily locate any of the folders referred to in this post by copying the folder path here, doing Go > Go to Folder in the Finder, and pasting the folder path there.

  • Apple mail won't delete a message on the server but my iPhone will...

    Hello,
    I have an iMac running the latest version of Snow Leopard, and use Apple Mail with an IMAP server. Recently, I noticed that when I try to delete a message on my apple mail, that it won't get deleted on the server or my iphone. However, if I do the reverse and delete the message on my iPhone, it gets removed from the server and apple mail.
    I have setup Apple Mail as an IMAP account, and on the iphone Active Synch Exchange for the same account. I tried to switch the Apple Mail account to an exchange IMAP account, and it made no difference. Any ideas on how to address this problem - it is really annoying to have to delete the same message twice? Thanks!

    Hi ernie,
    Thanks for the help. As for the mailbox preferce I have it set on move deleted to seperate folder (one week old).
    Here's the strange part - i have 1 email, only 1 email that will not delete and that's in my inbox, now when i click on view "Show Deleted Message" is greyed out..
    http://i25.tinypic.com/33mx1et.png
    I also have 1 email and only 1 email in my outbox that will not delete and when i click on view it shows "Show Deleted message".

    so what do you think the problem may be?

  • Apple Mail won't see changes in contacts

    I have an Exchange account configured in my MacBook Pro (Mail, iCal and AddressBook). Normally the computer don't shutdown only sleep, and the Mail and AddressBook programas are allways running.
    When I add a new contact or edit the email address of any other already registered, Mail won't show the new information until I Quit the application and start it again.
    How can I do to Mail see any changes in AddressBook without close and relaunch the application?

  • Apple Mail won't send or receive iCloud mail.

    iCloud Mail is not working. I'm using OSX 10.4.11 and was under the impression that Mail would work, but it is not. I'm trying to use Apple Mail to send and receive mail with my mac.com email address and it has not worked since switching to iCloud. Do I need to change something in Mail Preferences? Can't find anything relevant on Apple Support.

    I'm bumping this up to the top because I am having the same exact problem.
    I have had my new Mac since Dec. and have never been able to use my Mac Mail account. I can only use my Verizon account, which I don't like. I had a PC before the Mac and used Outlook Express, which I did like but I would really like to find out why my MAIL account won't send email. I have fooled with this problem and at one time I did get it so that it would receive mail (but not send) but even now I can no longer receive mail in my MAIL account.
    I wonder if I can delete the account and start over? I'm wondering if my daughter set it up incorrectly when she set my computer up for me. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
