Can't set up gmail account in 10.7.5 Apple Mail

Mail on my daughter's MB deals with her Yahoo account splendidly. But when I tried to add her gmail account, it balked. I accessed gmail via the web and turned on IMAP and save changes, then I added the account. The response was that Mail couldn't access gmail because either the username or password was wrong. So I tried the same whole routine, except this time setting it up as a POP account. Same lack of joy. I shut down and restarted. I repaired permissions. I even found a seemingly smart person on another thread who asked the other person with a similar problem to do a Lookup in Network Utility. So I did, and what I got from that effort (below) looks to me like the computer can find gmail without any difficulty.
So I'm lost. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Lookup has started…

Is your daughter using 2-step Verification on her gmail account? If yes, then you need to create app-specific password to be able to use mail application. More info and how to on Google documentation page.

Syncing Multiple Gmail Accounts including Labels to the Apple Mail program

First please point me to the correct thread if previously discussed;
I currently have multiple Gmail accounts; with each account I have several "labels". I am trying to sync my multiple Web-Gmail accounts and labels(folders) to the one Mail program (i.e. Have each gmail account/labels show up in Mail as they do in Gmail). Is there a way to sync/coordinate the Gmail accounts & labels with Apple Mail and sync vise-versa (ie. move to an email in Apple Mail to a Gmail label(folder) then it sync the same in Gmail, or move an email in Gmail then it updates the same in Apple Mail)?
Appreciate the help!

i have it working now. i have gmail forwarding my email to my me/icloud email, which are then pushed to the device instantly, when i respond it shows as coming from my gmail account since i disabled the apple outgoing smtp server and am using the gmail one. i just tested it a bunch of times, gmails are definetly being pushed to my iphone and ipad, coming thru instantly.
the only problem i cant figure out is why the iphone 5 is so slow to send thru the gmail server when the ipad sends instantly.

Can't set up gmail account of Pre2

I have four accounts. Three Google Apps account and one Gmail account
I have set up the three google apps accounts OK. and they seem to work :-)
However, when I try to add the @gmail.com account it simply just hangs when I click on the "Create" button. If I close the card, then the account remains only partly created. i.e. it appears to be there, but I dont get any emails and I cannot view any of the folders if I click on the down-arrow to view them.
How can I add this account?

Hello RedMist, this forum is of the "peer-to-peer" design - users helping users. There are a few HPalm CSR's who come here on their own time to help out. With over 250,000 registered users here, you would think more would stay and help answer questions, but in reality there are pitifully few real helpers here...
Most users just "hit and run" and don't bother to "pay it forward" by offering to help others.
No response to a question usually indicates "we don't know the answer" or "we haven't gotten around to viewing it".
Unfortunately, I have no idea why it's not working.

I can not set up Gmail account in Thunderbird

Hi all!
I just installed Thunderbird but I could not set up my Gmail account within it. Every time I try to configure my Gmail account, it always says "Configuration could not be verified - is the username or password wrong?" but my username and password are both correct. I have tried to set up other Gmail accounts and it says the same. I wonder is there any conflict between Gmail and Thunderbird. Anyone can help me to solve this problem? Thanks in advanced :)
You can see my problem in this picture:

Unable to set up gmail account

I have opened an email account with gmail on the Google website. I have tried to set this gmail account to open in my Mac mail, but it will not receive emails and is telling me that port 110 has timed out. Is anyone able to help? Thanks

Hi, so you set it up as POP instead of IMAP?
If POP, is the 2nd method here how you did it?
http://email.about.com/od/macosxmailtips/qt/et_gmailosxmail.htm
Also...
Gmail send but not receive...
Here are two steps that have come in handy in related situations
1) login to gmail on your computer or device via a web browser
2) once logged in successfully, go to this URL to unlock:

Can I use a gmail account to set up my child's IPhone?

Can I use a gmail account to set up my child's iphone? He already has a gmail account I don't want to set up an icloud email address. My husband and I could use our gmail addresses.

You can use any email address that you like as an Apple ID - it doesn't have to be an icloud one.
My only suggestion would be to use an address that you know you will have access to for a long while - like the gmail one - so you don't have to worry about changing the Apple ID in the future.

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.

I can't set up gmail in my iPad 2. Keep on saying ' can't connect with SSL and ask me whether to connect without using SSL, then I press 'yes' and it said again IMAP is not working and tell me to see network connection and incoming mail server.

I can't set up gmail in my iPad 2. Keep on saying ' can't connect with SSL and ask me whether to connect without using SSL, then I press 'yes' and it said again IMAP is not working and tell me to see network connection and incoming mail server. No idea how to do anymore. Already tried to figure out. But not work. Can anyone pls help me?

Nope, doesn't pass verification. I get the spinner for a minute or so, then the alert about setting it up without SSL. Are you suggesting I disable Fetch and Push BEFORE I enter the account details? Because I never get past the account details screen, unless I choose "Set up without SSL" after the warning.

Can't set up Gmail on new iPad 2?

Hi, I just bought my wife a gently used iPad 2 for Christmas. I'm out of town on a business trip, so I thought I'd spend the week getting it all set up for her so it's ready to rock 'n roll when she unwraps it.
I can't get her Gmail account to work. I go to Settings>Mail, Contacts, and Calendars>Add Account>Gmail and enter all the information, and eventually I get an alert about not being able to set up the account using SSL, do I want to set it up without SSL? If I click "Yes," then I get a warning that I may not be able to send and receive mail from the account (and, in fact, I can neither send nor receive messages). If I click "No," then it just sends me back to the account details entry panel.
I know the account info is correct because I logged in with the same credentials on my laptop. The hotel wi-fi connection is wonky, so I went over to Staples and tried it there. I think it works, because I was able to use iCloud to sync her photos (the ones on her iPhone immediately showed up on the iPad), and the App store worked, and a couple of other things. However, the Gmail account just would not function, even after removing it and re-entering the information a few times.
Also had the same thing happen with the DirecTV for iPad app; it took my account login stuff and then gave me an endless "Retrieving account details..." spinner. I let it think for 10 minutes before just giving up and coming back to the hotel.

Can I delete my gmail account on my iPhone from a computer?

My boyfriend has lost his iPhone andi am wondering can be delete his gmail account of his phone from a computer? Help!

That can't be done specifically. If the phone is set up for Find My iPhone, the entire device can be wiped clean remotely, removing everything from the phone from a computer. You can also send a message to the holder and lock the iPhone from their use. Change your passwords if you can't do that to prevent further access. Good luck

My wife and I share the iPad. Can we set up separate accounts to log in (like on our Mac)?

My wife and I share the iPad. Can we set up separate accounts to log in (like on our Mac)?

Good question, but I'm 99.9% certain the answer is "no". Here are some considerations:
Think of the heritage of iOS. It really started with iPhones and maybe iPods. These devices cost a whole lot less than a Mac. They are generally not thought of as shared (with exceptions, of course, as is true for you).
Think of the backup process. i-devices typically sync with one iTunes on one computer. How would an i-device with multiple users enstantiate this?
Anyway, all this is to say I'm convinced you cannot do what you're inquiring about.

Our family has 1 Apple id. My sons received many itunes gift cards. Can I set up sub-accounts under my id? If I create new ids, will they lose access to the content purchased under wmy id?

Our family has 1 Apple id with 2 itouches, 1 ipad and 1 iphone. My sons received several itunes gift cards. Can I set up sub-accounts under my id and deposit their gift cards into them (like a bank account)? If I can't, it seems that I will have to keep track of each of their purchases until they reach the limit of their gift cards, before they go over. This makes no sense. If I have to create new ids, will they lose access to all the content purchased under my id?

- You can't create subaccounts.
- You can create new account(s). The media on the iPod is still usable. It does create more work when updating apps since yo have to sign into the account that purchased them to update them. If you have apps purchased from more than one account that need update you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased with one account.
- To change accounts for purchasing go to Settings> Store (or Settings.iTunes and App store depending upon the iOS) and sign out and sign in with different account.
