Can't get jabber/gmail account to work!

Hi,
I have an account with gmail and I'm trying to use it for a new account in iChat by setting up a new account in Preferences.
In the Jabber ID field I have entered my gmail email addrress: [email protected], and then my gmail password. When I click to log on I am told that the username or password is incorrect. Am I filling out the fields incorrectly?
Thanks for your time!

Hi,
In some places an @gmail.com and @googlemail ID seem interchangeable.
However iChat likes it to be the one you see when you Login to the Google pages
As well as checking the Server Name (iChat 3 pulled through the @googlemail.com or @gmail.com as the server name as it did with other Jabber Servers), that Defcom has had you check - check the ID name you are using as suggested above.

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.

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.
Step 1
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.
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing 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.
Step 2
In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports (not "Diagnostic and Usage Messages") for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot. I know the report is long. Please post all of it anyway.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

Can't get Rogers.ca accounts to work on iPad 2 ??

The e-mail accounts so that when I tap the mail tab it takes me to my account to retrieve my e-mail

I can get my Gmail account to work but not my school email?

I have a school email account that I can access through safari but I can't get it to setup through the "Other" account area of Mail on the iPhone... Personally I don't think it is going to work at all because I don't know what to input in the outgoing mail server area? If someone could enlighten me that'd be fabulous. Thanks!

Just like the incoming mail server, the outgoing mail server requires a name and sometimes may require a username/password.
For example, Gmail's incoming mail server (IMAP) is: imap.gmail.com
The outgoing server for Gmail's mail server (IMAP) is: smtp.gmail.com
Gmail requires you to use a username & password for both the incoming and outgoing mail servers and also that IMAP is enabled in your account preferences.
For a school email, it most likely has POP or IMAP support built-in already. Now, whether or not you have to supply a username/password for outgoing will be determined by your school's IT department.
Do they have some support of IT/Technology support page for students? I'm sure somewhere within the school's intranet there's a support article that explains how to check your school email from a client. You'd just follow the same steps via iPhone's interface.

Can't get one email account to work again after deleting it

I have been using a 9800 for ages with two separate email accounts; one is a work account and the other a personal Gmail account. I also back up my phone regularly to a computer
I deleted the work accout for a holiday and, prior to re-installing it, found that I could temporaily disable the receipt of emails for a particular account by applying a filter. I recreated the work acount on my phone and, apart from being surprised that some of my old emails were still present, also tried to create a filter.
I'm now in a position where no work emails are getting through to my phone despite deleting the filter I created and having gone through all of the settings on the phone. All the settings for the work account appear to be the same, where applicable, as for the Gmail account but only the latter is working. I've also restored the email settings only from a backup when everything was working OK.
Any ideas please?

Hi Neil380 and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums!
Are you using a BlackBerry Enterprise Server to get your work email on yoru BlackBerry smartphone or do you have it setup using Outook Web Access, IMAP or POP?
Can you send me your PIN via Private Message so I can take a look into this further for you?

Can't get shared Gmail calendars to work (Exchange)

Long time Android user bought an iPhone 5 last night. Having serious trouble getting shared Google calendars to display.
I have my Google account set up as Exchange. That seemed to go through smoothly and my main Google calendar shows up just fine. I then went to https://www.google.com/calendar/iphoneselect and all of my calendars appear. I put checkboxes in the ones I wanted to sync to my iPhone, but they did not show up in my iPhone Calendar app. Waited and waited, never showed up.
I even deleted my Exchange account completely and re-added it. Still, only the primary calendar shows up in Exchange.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I've been to that iphoneselect website from both my iPhone using the Safari browser, and from my computer using Chrome browser, and both browsers show the calendars I want to sync as having check marks in the boxes. Those calendars simply do not sync. Is there possibly some issue with Google not being aware that I have an iPhone since I had an Android for so long?
If I go to m.google.com/sync from my iPhone browser, it does not show up with a device select page. It just shows up with a generic Google sync page, where I can click a "Calendar" icon, then choose "Sync with a mobile device," then choose "Apple device" and it takes me to a settings page that ultimately leads me to the same check box webpage ashttps://www.google.com/calendar/iphoneselect. Which, as I said, already shows check marks in the calendars that I want.
I read this entire thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4310898?start=45&tstart=0. It seems to suggest that Google or Apple is making it so you cannot get shared calendars using Exchange any more, and that you have to do it by setting up a new account for calendars as just a regular "Gmail" account (instead of Exchange).
Anybody know how to fix this? Is it not possible to view multiple calendars using Exchange anymore??

I was able to get my shared calendars to show up in my iPhone Calendar list only after visiting https://m.google.com/sync/settings/iconfig/ in the iPhone Safari browser. That page lets me manage the Google Sync devices (e.g. iPhone, iPad), each has its own Settings page where I must click the checkbox to sync each shared calendar. Once I saved those device-specific settings, I was able to see the extra calendars on the iPhone.

Can't get AIM/AOL account to work in Mavericks' Messages

Messages works fine with my iCloud/Mac/Me address. But when I try to add the AOL one (which is still the only protocol in Messages/iChat that works with screen sharing), it gives "unknown error."
I've verified the name/password by logging directly into aim.com, and tried multiple times throughout the last day.
Anyone else able to get their AIM account working ?

I had the same problem and figured out how to get it to work.
From the Add Account dialog, DON'T click on the AOL option. Instead select "Other messages account..." and click Continue. In the next dialog box select AIM from the Account type drop down and enter your login and password. This worked for me.

I can,t get one email account to work in tiger after panther

I have two email servers, AOL and Verizon. I wrote down the setting from panther and put them into Tiger. Aol is working fine but verizon does not. If I restart in Panther, verizon works. In tiger I get a message about port 25 timming out but I use the same port in Panther without issues. I went back and took snapshots of the Panther setting and put them in Tiger but still I can,t get verizon to work. I checked the firewall and it is the same setting as panther. I am at a complete loss, Googling would be in the blind so I don,t know.

David,
Is Verizon also your ISP? One possibility is MTU (maximum transmission unit), which may be getting set differently in the two versions of OSX. Test with lower values for MTU, and compare the System Preferences/Network settings in each version of OSX. See:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107962
and

One other thing to ask -- what character set and/or keyboard settings are you using? I ask because your post seems to use a comma, where an apostrophe would be expected?

I can't get my Bellsouth account to work on my IPHONE

IF SOMEONE HAS GONE THROUGH THE SAME PROBLEM ADDING THE BELLSOUTH ACCOUNT TO THE IPHONE "I NEED HELP IN ADDING MY BELLSOUTH EMAIL TO MY IPHONE".

PLEASE DON'T SHOUT!!!!
Are you accessing your BellSouth email account with an email client on your computer and if so, are you able to transfer the account settings from your computer to the iPhone via your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes - is this account available to select for account transfer under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences?
If so, have you tried this?
If not but you are successfully accessing this account with an email client on your computer, are you entering the identical account settings copied from the email client being used to access the account?
Any error message provided when trying to create the account on your iPhone and if so, what?

Cannot get exchange mail account to work

I am a very persistent person. I don't give up easily. But I just can't get my exchange account to work on iphone. After trying way too many times, I've tried to get it set it up on the Apple Mail program so that I can then sync the mail account to the iphone through itunes. I've only been able to get the incoming mail working on Mail. I've tried so many different permutations and combinations, but I cannot get the outgoing mail to work.
I know that imap is set up. And I can access my mail account through Entourage... perfectly.
Why can't I get it to work on Mail???? Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated? Any settings to check on the exchange server so that I can get it to set up properly. Please. I am about at my wit's end. And I won't give up!!!!
Thank you!

JeremyLogan,
Here are some settings that you need to make sure are enabled on your Exchange server:

Why can I not get a gmail account on my macmnini?

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.

In the new mail app for OSX v10.7 Lion it seems I can only setup my gmail account as an "imap", when I need to set it up as "pop"... PLZ HELP I NEED MY MAIL TO WORK!!!

In the new mail app for OSX v10.7 Lion it seems I can only setup my gmail account as an "imap", when I need to set it up as "pop"... PLZ HELP I NEED MY MAIL TO WORK!!!

Go to System prefs
Select Mail Contacts and Calendars
Then select Other
Then select "Add a Mail Account and click create
Then go to google for the settings you need:
First here for the settings online at gmail http://tinyurl.com/du3fu
Then here for the setting in mail http://tinyurl.com/38fevm8
These are instructions for Mail 4.0 but all of the necessary settings should be listed.

Multiple Gmail Accounts - one works, one doesn't.

I have 2 gmail accounts - one for my business, and one for personal. I can't synch them both on the iphone - I am 100% confident that I have the address and pw correctly and the settings are the same for both on the iphone, but one of the accounts works and the other doesn't? Is there some sort of limitation that you can't have 2 gmail accounts on the iphone?
Thanks

You've been a big help - thanks - I will try some of this later. I have enabled POP download for the one that didn't work, but I am still getting an error message on the one that has never worked that the connection to pop.gmail.com has failed so I'm sure it's some internal function I need to fix, but you got me on the right path - thanks so much.
