Can't connect to Google account in Yosemite

Hi there,
I just upgraded to OS X Yosemite, and I hoped that this problem would no longer exist, but it seems to still be an issue. I can't connect to my Google Account through the Internet Accounts pane in System Preferences. It just has that loading wheel the whole time.
It says that Messages is connected in the Internet Accounts area, but that's not the case when I open Messages... it just says "Connecting..." forever.
Any ideas for a way to fix it? My Firewall isn't on, so it's not that. And I'm able to connect to the google account on my IM+ app on my iPhone, so if it's Google being finicky, it's not consistent.
Any help would be great.

Hello jjnavia,
Since that article didn't help, you may find more information by using another one of Apple's support resources - https://getsupport.apple.com/GetproductgroupList.action.

  • Have IMAC, Mountain Lion mail. Each time I open mail, the message Mail can't connect to the account "Google" followed by a request for a password of an acct that was previously deleted. How do I get rid of the message? Thanks

    I have an IMAC, Mountain Lion. Each time I open my mail, a message box appears with the message Mail can't connect to the account "Google", followed by Enter the password for the user   *****@gmail.com. The full account that appears is an account that I had previously deleted. I cannot prevent the message box from appearing. What do I have to tweak in order for this annoying box to keep reappearing. I have deleted everything I know of in Google mail and my IMAC mail. Thanks for any feedback

    From the Mail menu bar, select
    Window ▹ Connection Doctor
    Look for the unwanted SMTP (outgoing mail) account in the window that opens. Double-click it. Another window will open, showing a list of all the outgoing mail accounts. The unwanted one will be selected. Click the minus-sign button to delete it, then click OK.
    If there's more than one unwanted account, repeat.

  • Is there ONE single app available for TASK and CALENDAR both which can be synched with Google account for OSX, iPhone, iPad

    Hi guys,
    I have been searching to death to find ONE great app which:
    1- handles both calendar (events) & To-Do list (task).
    2- connects to googla account (both calendar & task)
    3- should be availabe in Mac OS (OSX), iPhone & iPad (iOS) & Android.
    For instance, Pocket Informant, Calengoo or BusyCal.
    All of them takes care of the first, but fail in at least one of the remaining features.
    Pocket informant:
    1- Yes
    2- Calender: Yes, Task: No
    3- No Mac OS X version but it gives to web-based app (15$).
    Calengoo:
    1- Yes
    2- Yes
    3- No Mac OS X version.
    BusyCal:
    1- Yes
    2- Calender: Yes, Task: No
    3- No Portable Version. (iOS & Android).
    There is no one or combined solution for this!!! If there is no single software to take care of both, please give me a solution  but keep in your mind that ONE app is very important to me on a single device not two because I know already that!
    At least
    HELP me plz!!

    Hi,
    here is a schematic that I *Think* should work, but I haven't bought BusyCal 2 yet.  Reminders syncs with Toodledo, which syncs with Pocket Informant (I've tested this, and can now create PI tasks by talking to Siri); Reminders also syncs w/ BusyCal 2, so Busycal *should* be able to create, edit and delete tasks that will appear on Pocket Informant, and the reverse *should* be true.  Likewise, iCal syncs w/ both BusyCal 2 and Pocket Informant's appointments.  Thus BusyCal becomes your desktop hub, and everything *should* be sync'd up with PI on your iOS device.  I don't know anything about Android. 
      Siri —> "Reminders" <—> "Toodledo" <—> "Pocket Informant" tasks
                        I
                  "BusyCal 2" (desktop)
                        I
                     "iCal" <—> "Pocket Informant" appointments

  • How many apple tv can I connect with one account?

    how many apple tv can I connect with one account?

    there are 2 recent posts that suggest issues over 5, one where someone was trying to troubleshoot for a friend or client as they couldn't keep more than 5 connected, and the other where somone had more than 5 but was using 2 separate itunes libraries to share the load - not sure if that was with the same or differing AppleIDs.
    I guess there is always the possibility that things kight vary from one itunes version to the next even unintentionally to allow more.

  • When setting up new godaddy pop mail account, I get this error: Internet Accounts preferences can't connect to the account

    Trying to set-up new godaddy mail account. Walked through it with the godaddy rep, so the settings are correct. It is a pop account and I merely want it to function within Mail. (I have other accounts like it that work with no problem.) However, when I try to go online with the account, I get this error message: "Internet Accounts Preferences can't connect to the account..." It then prompts me to enter the password for the account and says it is "Unable to verify account or password."
    Godaddy says it is an Apple Mail issue because the account works fine in their Workspace. I sent test messages and when I login at godaddy, the messages are there. However, for some reason, Mail won't connect to it. Any ideas?
    Thank you. I'm running OS X, version 10.9.4.

    Yes. The account is there. There's just a verification with password issue. I had to change my password at Godaddy to include caps, special character, etc., and reinstall the account. Then I had to tweet the settings a bit. But think I have it resolved. Thanks.

  • How d o I deactivate 2-step from my old phone number? So I can enter into my Google account?

    Can't enter my Google account because 2-step keeps popping up with my old number that I have no access to anymore.

    hello 1cherylcarrasquillo, this is a question where we as support for mozilla's firefox browser can't be of much help. please contact google's support instead to inquire what options there are to recover your account.
    thanks for your understanding!

  • I keep getting this message: Mail can't connect to the account: "Sbcglobal". Enter the password... So I do and it opens up, but later it will happen again. It's not earth-shattering, but I have to stop what I'm doing to get rid of the bouncing Mail icon.

    If your password is accepted, and Mail connects to the account, but you're prompted for the password repeatedly, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Note: these steps don't apply if the server rejects the password. That's a different problem.
    Step 1
    When prompted for the password, check the box marked Remember this password in my keychain.
    Step 2
    Check that the keychain is working.
    Step 3
    Check that the default keychain is unlocked.

  • Contacts can't connect to the account "Yahoo!".

    I have a yahoo account and I check my emails using the Mail app that comes with my MacBook Air.
    For some reason, Contacts can't connect to the account Yahoo. It keeps popping out a little window that says:
    Contacts can't connect to the account "Yahoo!".
    Enter the password for the user "[email protected]"
    Password:  [ }
    I have entered my password over a dozen times and it tries to connect. A few times the little windows keeps coming back and I have tried re-entering the password. I have checked and double check I enter the right password. Then other times, it comes the same little window but a different message. The window is tittled: The operation could not be completed and under that it says:  No other information is available about the problem.
    I have also gone to Preferences for Contacts and then click on "Edit Account...". When I do that, the "Mail, Contacts & Calendars" window opens. Next to my Yahoo account I click on "Details". When I do that, a Yahoo little window opens displaying my email address and below there are 3 boxes. First one has my name. Second one has my password. I have tried re-typing my password over a dozen times. Then finally, the last box says Description and there I have Yahoo!
    I hope someone knows what is my issue or if there is an issue between Apple and Yahoo where they don't talk to each other well.
    Thank you
    James

    Thank you Linc for looking after my post.
    I checked in my Yahoo account under:
    Set up your second sign-in verification
    Back to account info
    Protect your account
    Second sign-in verification adds an extra level of protection to your account. Learn more
    Get started
    and I currently don't have that option activated.
    Can you elaborate as where or how can I find out where I could have activated a 2-step verification.
    Thank you

  • Can't Setup/Auth Google Account in Calendar App

    I can't Setup/Auth Google Account in the Calendar App. I can't get past the 'Accept' and yes, the credentials are correct. I'm using FFOS 1.3 and it seems like 'https://oauth.gaiamobile.org/authenticated' always times out. I've tried it on different days at different times. So restarting an dresetting won't do the trick, even so I already tried.
    Waht else can I do? I really not a working calendar.
    Thanks in advance, Michael.

    First i got the same issue, i closed the calendar, restarted the mobile and tried. its working fine.
    Check the attached image.
    Still your facing the issue. Check for software update.
    Provide your Mobile Model.

    Hey there denise.ca,
    I see that you have a question about one of the functions of USB syncing. To answer your question, yes, you can sync contacts from your computer to your iPhone using USB syncing and iTunes:

  • How can I add a Google account not connected to a GMail account to Messages in OSX Mountain Lion?

    With iGoogle going offline soon, and being myself averse to using Google+ for social networking due to what I perceive as a blatant disregard for my privacy, I'm trying to save my few Gchat contacts, as I don't have many other ways to contact these specific people. However, I'm having trouble connecting my Gchat (or Google Talk if you prefer the term) to Messages. It doesn't recognize that my google account is tied to a verizon email address, not a gmail address, and refuses to acknowledge my password as correct (even though I typed it correctly at least five times trying).
    I haven't seen anyone else having this problem, and I'd prefer to call customer support about this, but this seems to be the next best option.

    Hi,
    iChat and Messages (and for that matter any other Jabber capable App) will not accept non Google Mail Google IDs as Google Talk IDs
    When Google launched Google Talk it was only for those IDs issued under @googlemail.com or @gmail.com that were eligible.
    Later they allowed other Google IDs to Chat but only from Web Browser Logins.
    There was a period when they did seem to expand the non Googlemail IDs into the GoogleTalk fold for external apps to also allow access but this was dropped after a while.
