Cannot set up Gmail in new verizon iphone

This is my first time using an iphone and I'm a little lost.
I need to set up my gmail on my new iphone. I've already checked my mail account, and I do have imap/pop forwarding enabled.
I go to mail, Gmail, enter my info, and it tells me that my username and password are not correct for imap.google.com. So then I went to mail, other, entered all my info, and entered the imap and smtp addresses. Still didn't work. So then I went to https://www.google.com/accounts/DisplayUnlockCaptcha, unlocked my account, and IT WORKED!! For an hour. Then every time I tried to check my mail, it said my password or username was wrong. Does anyone have any ideas on how to get gmail on this iphone?
Then once its on my phone, is there any way to only have it show incoming messages as of today? - like on blackberry? I have a lot of old unread emails in my account and would rather not have them showing up on my phone.
Thanks so much!

All I did is follow the instructions provided by Google on their website for accessing a Gmail account as an IMAP account with the iPhone's Mail app. No problems whatsoever.

No. Completely different from a Blackberry, the iPhone's Mail app communicates direct with the incoming mail server for an email account - no different from accessing the account with an email client on your computer. Not through some 3rd party dedicated email delivery service located in Canada that all email accounts accessed with a Blackberry must be routed through which provides some non-standard features that are not available when accessing an email account with an email client on your computer or with the iPhone's Mail app.

Pc or itunes wont recognize new verizon iphone

Just purchased new verizon iphone. my laptop or my itunes will recognize the phone. However, it recognizes my sisters brand new ATT phone. I've changed all the cords and tried all USB...it's not that. Why does Verizon phones not work properly? What can i do?

Don't set up the device through iTunes, set it up through iCloud instead.

Apps and Videos won't sync with new Verizon iPhone

I have set up the new Verizon iPhone and synced it with iTunes. The music comes over to the phone no problem, but when I try and sync the Apps that were either purchased or free for our iPad or iPods won't come over to the phone. The error message is that the account is not authorized to sync. So I go and authorize the account on the computer, and it says it is already authorized, yet the sync of apps and videos will not occur.
Thoughts?

I don't think you can drag anything onto an iphone.
You have to goto the tab in itunes and select which video you want to sync.

Can I transfer my voicemails from old att iphone to new verizon iphone?

can I transfer my voicemails from old att iphone to new verizon iphone?

Syncing won't transfer the photos. If you want to transfer you camera roll photos, as well as your other data and settings, see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2109. If you only are concerned with photos, import them from your old phone to your computer as shown here:http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083, then put them in a folder and select to sync this folder to your new phone on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and sycing your new phone.

IMovie '08 7.1.4 is not recognizing my new Verizon iPhone

My iMovie '08 7.1.4 is not recognizing my new Verizon iPhone. How can I get iMovie '08 to recognize my Verizon iPhone so I can import the videos of my kids from there.

You might consider upgrading to iMovie 11. It would cost about $15.
For iMovie 08, I would try to import the movies into iPhoto. Then you can access them in iMovie through the iPhoto Event.

EMPLOYEE DISCOUNT FOR NEW VERIZON iPHONE 4 CUSTOMERS

Not quite sure if my employee discount will apply to the voice plan that I am considering purchasing. Will iphone 4 purchasers be allowed an employee discount, all of the other phones allow this - very confusing. Any information on how to apply an employee discount to a new verizon iphone 4 customer's account at checkout or after would be appreciated.

you go here and check if your work email works if not you need to follow the instructions of faxing some info or just go into the store and do it there.

but you wont be able to apply the employee discount program till after you open the new account and it might take a month to apply

Can i use a brand new verizon iphone 4s on tracfone byop?

can i use a brand new verizon iphone 4s on tracfone byop?
has anyone tried?

The iPhone 4S is locked to Verizon; not sure if it can be used on other domestic carriers if it is unlocked. You would need to contact both Verizon and Tracfone about this.

Old iPhone (2007) to new Verizon iPhone

I've had the original ATT iPhone since it first came out. Looking forward to moving to the new Verizon iPhone as soon as it arrives. I don't have a lot of apps installed on my current phone, but have all the contacts, etc. that I care about local to this current phone. What I was hoping I could request from you guys was some sort of outline/task list of things I can do, or should do, to make bringing up the new phone as easy as possible. What I'd like to do is move over my contacts, including associated pics if possible, pictures, and apps. I try to keep my google online account's contacts as clean and up to date as possible, but my phone is more clean...just wish I could sync my phone's info overtop of my google online info, but I'm not aware of a way.
So:
Can I push my phone's contact info over to Google? I'm only aware of Google to the phone. If I can push all my contact to google, then I guess I could make use of Google Sync, which I could then install on the new phone and sync google to my phone. Thoughts on this from those that have used Google Sync, or something similar.
Can I use a recent backup of my current phone stored in iTunes to "install" my new phone? And if so, how would you recommend? If I do this, do I risk the chance of bringing over something, such as an app, from my old phone to the new that should be simply re-installed to take advantage of the new phones architecture, etc.?
Having ask all of this, should I simply install my new phone manually so I make sure all apps, contacts, etc. are done correctly?
I know that's alot. If you guys can help, I'd greatly appreciate it. If there's a KB article out there, or other threads that would offer the same info, I'd appreciate the links...I looked for such but failed to find all that I was interested in.
Thanks for the help and time,
JRK

You're welcome.
Can I "push" my iPhone's contacts to my iMac's Address Book, or will asking iTunes to sync with my iMac's Address Book, and the fact that I don't have any contacts in my iMac's Address Book, wipe out my contacts on my iPhone?
Before syncing contacts with an empty Address Book, enter one contact in the Address Book on your Mac. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data, which you want to select.
Likewise, will syncing my iMac Address Book with Google push my iMac's Contact list to Google, or will Google push over my new iMac's Address Book?
After getting your iPhone contacts available in the Address Book on your Mac, when syncing the contacts with the Address Book on your Mac and with your Google online address book, the contacts between the two should be synced or merged. This is selected at Address Book > Preferences under the Accounts tab.
To be on the safe side before doing this, create a backup for your Address Book contacts on your Mac. At the Address Book menu bar go to File > Export and select Address Book Archive. Save the export to wherever you want on your Mac's hard drive in case you need this later to restore your Address Book contacts.
Google should provide an export option for your Google online address book which you can save to your Mac as a backup for your Google online address book before syncing contacts with the Address Book on your Mac.

? New Verizon iPhone Better or Just Better Network?

OK, so I have been waiting almost 4 years to get an iPhone, staying with Verizon all this time. I threw away a perfectly good Motorola Razor, or whatever it is called, cell phone on Monday. Within my limited reception area I now have much better reception at all locations inside my house (previously marginal or zero in some rooms).
So, is the new Verizon iPhone 4 somehow better than other phones or what? When it came out on the ATT network there were instantly many threads complaining about numerous issues. This is not the case right now. Should I be real happy that I now have a superior product on a superior network?

Yep, go pop the cork from the champagne, pat yourself on the back and enjoy your iPhone.

Compatible: iPod car charger cable with new Verizon iPhone...Safe?

Compatibility between my iPod cable in the car which is connected to a radio interface in which I plug in/ charge/play my iPod AND my new Verizon iPhone. Will the cable in the car safely charge and 'read' my iPhone? I would hate to blow this thing up But if it is compatible, it saves me much aggravation.

Hey Alan Seglin & welcome to the forums.
Whether it will work or not depends on a few things.
The biggest factor is age of the radio interface. A lot of older interfaces aren't designed with the iOS devices in mind and so do not charge them properly or allow the user to control it. What kind of iPod are you using with your stereo right now?
You may find that you can play music but have no real control over the iPhone & it may not be charged, either. You shouldn't see anything harmful happen to your stereo or your phone, though.

I don't think so, because it's a Verizon thing.
But one can only hope.

Cannot Set-up gmail in iPhone 5

Hi
This is Sunil Akella from Bangalore, Karnataka, India.
I have recently purchased iPhone-5, and I am not able to set-up gmail account. A smart phone without personal email account is very embarassing to maintain.
I connected to Wifi in my organization, and ensured I am able to connect to the internet and I followed below steps to set-up gmail account.
1- Touch on Mail Icon
2- Select Gmail
3- Provided Name, email, Password and "Next" button.
Now at this stage it pops-up a message saying " Cannot connect Using SSL.. Do you want to try setting up the account without SSL ? Yes/ No
4- I selected Yes
After sometime, one more pop-up message appeared saying
" The IMAP server "imap.gmail.com" is not responding. Check your network connection and that you entered the correct information in the "Incoming Mail Server" field"
I really don't understand, when I am able access any site from the Safari browser in my iPhone, why it says "check your network connection"
I have ensured in my gmail settings : General-:>Browser Connection-> Selected the option : "Don't always use HTTPS"
Forwarding and IMAP/POOP -> IMAP Access : Status says- IMAP is enabled
Please help me in resolving this issue.

I bought an Iphone 5s and just tried to add my google calendar -extra easy to do in an old fashion Samsung, but in the iphone I got this message:
Cannot connect using SSL. Do you want to try setting up the account without SSL, Y/N
I click yes
Then I got a second message
The IMAP server “imap.gmail.com” is not responding. Check your network connection and that you entered the correct information in the “Incoming Mail Server” field.
I clicked OK and nothing happened.
Please help.
I am starting feeling a bit disappointed.
