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.

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.

    Hello jaybearden,
    Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you are not able to restore the iOS device since you get an error 9. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

  • I am a Brit living in Germany. I really need to be able to purchase from the German iTunes Store (in €) and the English one (in £). How can I set this up from my iPad?

    I am a Brit living in Germany. I really need to be able to purchase from the German iTunes Store (in €) and the English one (in £). How can I set this up from my iPad?

    Technically correct (the best kind of correct)
    Now if the Op has and retains a UK account with billing address and UK paymant card - He/She can continue to use the UK store in Germany - Apple does NOT use IP address blocking just a valid paymant card attached to a postcode !
    Basically the first four of your paymant card are country codes.
    What the op needs to do if he/she now has a Germany address and payment method (could just be German € value gift cards) is to open a separate German iTunes Account !
    On a PC/Mac its very easy to change stores, however iOS has it a bit more difficult.
    In fact i would recommend the Op sets up a new German account and credentials on a PC/Mac first.
    And doing so just means opening the store in iTunes scrolling to the bottom of the screen and clicking on the littler circular flag in the bottom right.
    After that the browser window is populated with loads of similar disc flags. Clicking any take you to that regional store where provided you have a valid address (Postcode/Zipcode actually) and payment method local credit/debit some prepayment VISA cards or just a gift card you can create a local account.
    Oh and because Apple do NOT use IP addressing you don't actually have to be present in the country of that store. Its against to terms of the EULA but it works !
    Back to the iOS device
    Tap Settings/iTunes & App Store /Apple ID (that will probably be showing the UK account set up).
    In the window that opens tap log out
    Now  change the ID to the new German name and password and in the next window make sure the flag selected is that of Germany (when in Germany)
    When buying from the UK store follow that path again log out of the German account and re-log in using the UK ID
    As it happens I have a UK Portuguese and US account all active because I have residences in all three - and can visit any of the stores from anywhere.

    <E-mail Edited by Host>

    You can use iCloud to sync your Safari bookmarks between your Mac and your iPad.
    Instructions here >  Apple - iCloud - Learn how to set up iCloud on all your devices.
    Personally, I like the Wacom stylus for iPad >  Amazon.com: Wacom Tech Corp. Bamboo Stylus for iPad/Tablets: Computers & Accessories
    And try the accessibility features on your Mac. Open System Preferences > Accessibilty
    Apple - Accessibility - OS X
    I just noticeed on your other thread you mentioned that you've had your Mac for seven years so iCloud for syncing bookmarks may not be an option for you unless your Mac at the minimum is  running v10.7.5 with at Safari 5.1.1. See, "Bookmarks" >   System requirements for iCloud

    You can if you do not live in Florida, apparently. I called this morning to add AppleCare+ and after giving my info (explaining that the Apple Store is 50 miles (at least) from me, I was going strong until she realized that I live in Florida. Apparently, some moron in the FL State Legislature got a bill passed to "protect" senior citizens and you can't buy things like AppleCare+ online or over the phone!! You have to do it in person. Seriously?!? I'm a senior citizen and I knew exactly what I was trying to buy.........she even had to read the description even though I told her I knew all about AppleCare+. As my husband said, "If you're smart enough to go online and pre-order, and set up an iPad, surely you are capable of making a warranty purchase!!!!!!
    I even tried calling the Verizon store here, since I bought a VZ version, and even they can't sell it!! Going to Orlando from the beach during Spring Break and Snowbird Season will take up most of a day.......all to spend $99. I may just skip it and keep my fingers crossed that I never need it in a year from now.

    How can I set up personal hotspot on iPad 3, I use 3G services from Etisalat  SIM

    If your carrier supports the personal hotspot on the iPad (and some carriers only support it on the iPhone) then it should appear in Settings > General > Cellular Data > Personal Hotspot - if it doesn't appear then contact your carrier in case they don't support it or it might be an extra fee/subscription with them

    Your iPhone's iOS must be same or newer than the one in backups. In your case it is older so you need to update your iPhone and then recover it with backup.

    can't find AirPlay icon in new iPad

    I was experiencing the same problem.  This is the solution I figured out:
    Check the wireless settings on your router.  Ensure the "Enable Wireless Isolation" is not selected.  If this is enabled, devices cannot talk to one another even if on the same network.
    Hope this helps.

  • Can videos not recorded on the new ipad be edited with imovie?

    can videos not recorded on the new ipad be edited with imovie?

    Hi
    Please rephrase Your Question - I'm not clever enough to get it
    There are lot's of Cameras that record in lot's of different ways that can be edited in iMovie.
    No iMovie can not use all Video-Codec's in the World - they are zillions and many needs to be converted to something iMovie can open and work with.
    • Still digital Cameras as Nikons - Import into iPhoto and then in iMovie Event's window import from iPhoto-videos title
    • miniDV tape Cameras - connects only via FireWire - then just Import from Camera into Event's
    • SD-Card or Hard Disk Cameras Connects most ofthen via USB and Import from "File or other"
    • from Internet - (out of my range - Guessing) - most will need to be converted into something iMovie likes - I would try
    - StreamingDV .dv - or -
    - AIC (Apple Intermediate Codec)
    So as You see - I don't get it !
    Yours Bengt W
