Do I have to use gmail?

I have a new Samsung Fascinate and wonder if I have to use gmail to access Google Market and other google features. It requires me to set up a gmail account, but I wish to use my current email service and do not want to use gmail.

it'll be the main account under the gmail app but you can turn off sync for mail, contacts and calendar associated with that gmail account.

I have been using gmail Id and that has been changed by someone into a hotmail apple id whenever I wanted to sign into my account. I am really really troubled a lot. I have also successfully created another apple ID and password after a lengthy process and tried to go and get downloads, I was asked for my apple id and again the same problem came back and I couldn't be able to use my new account and use apple downloads from iTunes , etc. please, help me as soon as possible.

Apss are forever tied to the Apple ID under which they were originally purchased. If you forgot the password to your original Apple ID, you can retrive it here:

I have problems using gmail with firefox

When I get connected in internet using Firefox, and then I open my e-mail, which is g-mail, I see my entrance mailbox, and I received e-mails, but I cannot write a new e-mail, or print, or send, etc. I cannot do anything with my e-mails.
My g-mail works with Internet Explorer but not with Firefox.

What kind of problems do you have?

Blackberry curve 8520 using gmail - can only recieve NOT send emails!! please help!!

Hello.
I have been using gmail on my blackberry for a month without problems, it just comes straight to the inbox on the main screen of the phone.
Today my Blackberry stopped sending emails but still recieves them. When I try to delete anything in the inbox, it merely gives them a "yellow" star but does not remove them.
How can I resolve this?! I am really desperate!!
I have tried deleting gmail account and starting again, but this does not work. Nor does asking for servicebooks.
Any idea?
Solved!

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!!
I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB):
1) Register HRT
Homescreen > Options > Advanced Options > Host Routing Table > (it does not matter which line is current) > Register Now
2) Resend Service Books
KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
3) Batt Pull Reboot
Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then you should try deleting and re-adding your BIS conduits for the affected email accounts.
Occam's Razor nearly always applies when troubleshooting technology issues!

Setting a different "reply to" when using gmail via exchange on the iPhone?

Hi Guys,
I have been using gmail via IMAP for quite a while on my iPhone, but decided to switch to gmail via exchange. It's really great - instead of polling for emails, they are pushed to the phone - this means a saving on data costs as it's not polling every 15 mins!
The only problem I am having is that I currently have my own domain name, so my "reply email address" is different to my gmail one.
When using IMAP, there was the option to set a return address. Under Exchange, the first field is "email" - I thought this might be the return address (as it doesn't seem to have anything to do with my gmail account details) but when I send an email from it, the return address is just my standard gmail one...
Does anyone know a solution to this?!
Cheers and thanks,
Mike

Hey Graham,
Thanks for the reply!
If I do want to stick with gmail, though - is there any way to set up a return address on the iPhone's Exchange, or is it just not an option?
Cheers,
Mike

Using Gmail with my old and trusted 8800

I have been using gmail for about 3 years, and I setup gmail to forward emails to my BB 8800, this has all been working fine for 2 years, in the last 3 or 4 weeks emails that I have been sending from my computer at home (using gmail ) have been sent to friends etc, and I also get a copy on my 8800
when somebody replies to my email, I see the message without any problems on my laptop when logged into my gmail account, but now when I look on my 8800, the message displays for 1 second and then disappears, if I press the BB button ( to the left of the trackball ) , and select from the menu "Get Plain Text" , BB displays the dialogue message "Receiving More" and the text comes back
surely I should not have to do this when using a gmail account
only emails that I have kicked off using gmail are affected, all other emails that I receive from other people are fine !
NB I have plenty of "Free Space" 31559744 bytes
I have the latest software, I have security wiped the 8800 a number of times, I have removed the battery a number of times, all these things I have been told to do by my carrier "Orange UK" , all to no avail, so I have to resort to the internet, and boards like this
any ideas most welcome
Peter in London

Hi Peter,
I'm a new blackberry user but I'm on gmail and luckily it's working fine for me on my 8800... Just a couple of suggestions for you...
- Have you changed anything in your gmail account? I added IMAP configuration labs and it broke by whole set-up, I had to remove and add the account on the O2 email site again.
- Are you importing any other accounts into your gmail? I was originally doing a full import into a new gmail account. While this was happening the connection between gmail and my blackberry service would completely break and I would get the "action required - your blackberry is not receiving email" message.
- Have you thought about getting the gmail app running on the 8800? I'm not sure if there is enough memory on these little things for it, but it might solve the problem?
Good luck - hope you're able to get it running again.

HT201248 My email address associated with my Apple ID on my iPad has been turned off from the ISp (U.S. army). I have a new gmail account with a new Apple ID. How do I get my iPad to use my gmail account?

Help. My old @us.army.mil email address was terminated by the army. I used that address to register my first apple id account on my iPad. I can't remember my original Apple ID number and if I ask to reset my password, Apple sends the reset link to my old non-working email address. I have a new gmail address and a new Apple ID number associated with that address. How do I get my iPad to use my new gmail address and new apple ID number? Remember, I can't log out of my old account because I can't remember the password. Amd Apple will only reset the password by sending a link to my old, non functioning army email account. ( I hate army webmail for canceling all retired military email accounts). John Marc

i am new to icloud. i would like to manage all our household email accounts through icloud. i currently use gmail. is there a way to route all gmail messages through an icloud email so i do not have to change my email address? also how do i create multiple email accounts using the same apple id?
thanks all.
Mike

No, iCloud does not handle 3rd party mail, and Google can already sync to all your devices without any help.
iCloud accounts are individual, there is no 'Family' account. Open an account for each user, each will have an iCloud address.

Have just bought an ipad but have forgotten my gmail password. I have used this gmail account for my apple id, if I set up a new email account on the ipad , do I have to change this apple id. Am a very confused novice!!!

I have recently bought an Ipad but have forgotten my gmail password that I use on my Mac. I have used this email as my apple ID. If I now set up a new email account on my Ipad, do I have to change my apple ID as well as my apple password! HELP A VERY CONFUSED NOVICE!!!

On your Mac, try to access your gmail account. There should be a link you click for "Forgot My Password". Click it and try to retrieve your password.

Hi,
According to your descriptioin, I don't think this is system problem, it should be Intel driver problem. It would be contact Intel to confirm this issue whether this is their driver problem.

Google them to confirm the settings that you need for the outgoing server, then check the setting you entered on the pad. Pay real close attention to the outgoing server name, and port. You may need to change in on the pad.

Using Gmail in iPhoto and cannot find any of my groups to email. I have at least seven or eight groups that I email, each containing over 50 addresses. Is there a way to locate my email groups using iPhoto to send out mail in Gmail? Using version 9.5.1

Using Gmail in iPhoto and cannot find any of my groups to email. I have at least seven or eight groups that I email, each containing over 50 addresses. Is there a way to locate my email groups using iPhoto to send out mail in Gmail? Using version 9.5.1 (902.17) OS is Mavericks 10.9.1.

Your question and description is not very clear to me, so hopefully something here will help:
1. Gmail is a service not an app or a place. So you need to access the service with an app - that can be iPhoto, Mail, Outlook or any other mail client, or even a Web Browser like Safari or Firefox.
So you can't "go to GMail" as you write, but instead you go to an application set up to use the GMail service.
2. iPhoto is not a mail client. It's a handy way to email pics to Grandma, but for what you're doing you need to use an app that supports all of the Gmail service. iPhoto doesn't. There is no way around that.
3. How to send to groups will vary depending on what app you use to access the GMail service. All of these apps can receive photos from iPhoto, either - as in the case of Mail and Outlook, via the Share function - or, in the case of all the rest - via a Media Browser.
For help sending to Groups using any of these other apps you need to ask omn their respective forums. But the workflow is quite simple:
Using Mail or Outlook set in the iPhoto Prefereneces:
1. Select the pic(s) you want to share.
2. Choose email from the Share function
3. Make your selections re size etc
4. The email opens up in Mail or Outlook
- from there you need to figure out how to use the email client.
Using any other app:
1. In the mail app create a new email
2. Click on the Attach button or link
3. Use the Media browser to select the pic(s) you want to send
4. Attach them
- from there you need to figure out how to use the email client.
For help accessing your photos in iPhoto see this user tip:

I use GMail, says I do not have current version of FireFox, have 8.0.1 installed, now GMail doesn't work right, Fix?

I have FireFox 8.0.1 installed on my computer. I use GMail for my email. My GMail program keeps telling me I do not have the latest version of FireFox installed and that I am using an older version. My GMail program is not working right since my last update of FireFox. Is there a fix for this problem?

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.2) Gecko/20090729 Firefox/'''3.5.2''' (.NET CLR 3.5.30729) '''FBSMTWB'''
Your user agent is stuck at Firefox 3.5.2 due to a extension during when you had 3.5.2 and it tacked on FBSMTWB' on end and kept it from updating the version number. This was due to the "Fast Browser Search toolbar" extension (FBSMTWB). This issue is not a problem with Firefox 4.0 and newer.
See this on how to reset it to normal. https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/websites%20or%20add-ons%20incorrectly%20report%20incompatible%20browser#w_reset-your-user-agent

Niel, I found a way to download Safari 6.1.6 but it failed because the installer couldn't create the folder '/var/folders/lg/pqypcsnn715btrs106b9crpr0000gn/T//Install.3334NgcMxu"
