Done all that's been suggested but can't receive from Gmail

I have been on an old Mini running 10.4.11 and finally was able to buy a refurbished Mini from Apple, so in making the jump to 10.8 there's a lot to catch up on, including Mail because I've been clinging to the simplicity of Eudora for years till now.
I can send but can't receive. I have tried all the suggestions I found including enabling IMAP in my Google settings, logging in and logging out of Gmail account, and clearing CAPTCHA, and I don't have the Google 2-step security enabled so that's not it. I have no other devices other than the old and now the new computer. Anyone?

What account settings do you mean? I also don't know what a "properly neutralized" screenshot is.
When I am attempting to create the account with account name , email address and password, the error message is:
"Logging in to Google IMAP server "imap.gamil.com" failed. Make sure the user name and password you entered are correct, then click continue. If the information isn't correct, you cannot receive messages."
This was the first window that came up when I opened Mail for the first time. As soon as I clicked CREATE I got that message. I read somewhere to hit the OPTION key when I hit CREATE, but what that apparently accomplished was to bypass the receiving part of setting up, enabling me to continue the account-making process for sending mail which was successful when I sent a test message. Since the test message to receive mail didn't work, I deleted all that and went hunting for information on what to do next.
I know the password and email address are correct. I can't imagine what else to put as the account name other than my actual name which is the name in the upper right corner of the Google inbox page. I tried putting in my account nickname, but that also failed.

  • Can I resend am audiobook gift that has been redeemed but can't be located?

    Hi all, I have gifted an audiobook on my ipad2 to my sister who redeemed it, but cannot locate it in her itunes account at all. Have tried to resend
    as per instructions in itunes by signing in to my account and bringing up gifts (both on ipad and imac), but I don't get the 'resend gift' possibility coming up, I just get 'done'.
    Am assuming this is because she did try to open it. She's now asking me to resend it as she says its lost. She hasn't set eyes
    on it and as it's a birthday gift, don't want her to have to re-buy it.
    Appreciate any help, thanks.

    If its showing as 'done' on the resend screen and not giving the resend option then that implies that she redeemed the gift onto her account (or somebody has redeemed it). Did she redeem it, and if she did has she checked that computer/device's library, and tried the Store > Check For Available Downloads menu option on her computer's iTunes to see if that downloads it ? She won't be able to redownload it as audiobooks are a one-time only download.
    If she didn't redeem it then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support and see what they say : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
    Or you can try contacting iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • Have done all the trouble shooting connection but my iPad still can not get wifi connection

    i have done all the trouble shooting connection but mu iPAd still can not get wifi connection

    Hi Jo,
    Each router is a little different but here are the basics: login to the router using the administrator account, should have that info from the installer, and then you should find something like security settings, or it may be advanced security.  There will be a setting to the effect of limiting access, or it may say allow Mac address authentication, or admit the Mac addresses in the table...if that is switched on, you can just switch it off and that will allow any wireless device to attach.  If you want to keep it on, then you have to enter the Mac address for the device you want to use for access.  In the case of the iPad, go to Settings > General > About > WiFi Address (another way of saying Mac address).  Enter that very long sequence in the router's Mac address acceptance table and that should take care of things.
    Using the Mac address does not change any of the email settings, just limits attaching to the router in the first place.
    If you are already getting email, you must be attaching already so this should not be an issue.  If you are having email issues, such as receive but not send, you may not have the outgoing server set correctly: Settings > Mail > Account > Outgoing server name (usually an SMTP server) and you may have to go to the advanced settings to enter the outgoing password (normally the same as the account/incoming password) and then check to see if SSL is ON or OFF...most common email services say to set to OFF.

    Hi Eric,
    The message seems to totally disappear. It is going to an AOL customer in UK. I changed their address to start with a lowercase letter & the message was returned to me by AOL as undeliverable, I then changed the first letter of the address beck to upper case, the same I have been using for years, but again it disappeared.
    I appreciate any help you can give me. Tks Gord.

    If you're referring to iMessages, then the problem is that Apple is having server issues. If the problems your having are with standard SMS, post back with further details.

    Hello,
    My sons old iPad 1 is rarely used, but, when i charged it up the message was;  "iPad is disabled try again in 22,824,852 minutes"  sorry but thats a bit of a wait! 
    I have gone through all the various reset methods but can't get around the disabled status??
    Can't see another way to reset it.
    Could it be for the bin.
    Only wanted to give the youngest daughter the iPad to take to school.
    Hope someone can help
    Thanks
    Jonny Burns.

    Is this how you do it?
    1. Turn off iPad. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, slide to turn off.
    2. Connect USB cable to computer
    3. Press and hold the Home button down and connect the docking end of cable to iPad
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect To iTune" screen
    5. Release the Home button
    6. Open iTune (make sure you have the newest version of iTune)
    7. You should see "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode"
    8. Use iTune to restore iPad
    Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad

    Hi msclaude,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!  I'm not sure from your post what steps you have tried, but it sounds like you may need to use recovery mode to address the issue with your unresponsive iPod touch.
    If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201263
    If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    You can put your iOS device into recovery mode, then restore it using iTunes.
    Use recovery mode
    You might need to use recovery mode to restore your device in these cases:
    iTunes doesn't recognize your device or says it's in recovery mode.
    You see the Apple logo onscreen for several minutes with no progress bar.
    You see the Connect to iTunes screen.
    Learn what to do if you see the progress bar onscreen for several minutes.
    To put your device into recovery mode, follow these steps:
    Turn off your device and leave it off.
    Plug in your device's USB cable to a computer with iTunes. 
    Hold down the Home button on your device as you connect the USB cable. Keep holding down the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
    When you see this screen, release the Home button. If you don't see this screen, try steps 1 through 3 again. 
    When your device is connected, iTunes will open. You'll see a message saying that iTunes has detected an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch in recovery mode.
    Use iTunes to restore your device. Restoring in recovery mode will erase your device. If you previously synced with iTunes or iCloud, you might be able to restore from your backup.Get more help
    Learn what to do if you don't see your device in iTunes for OS X, or in iTunes for Windows.
    If you put your device into recovery mode by mistake, restart it. Or you can wait 15 minutes and your device will exit recovery mode by itself.
    I hope this information helps ....

  • My itunes is on an old computer.  So old that I can't update it and so Haven't used it in two years.  How can I move it to my new laptop and make sure this doesn't happen again?  Very frustrated that I've spend $$ but can't get my music.

    My itunes is on an old computer.  So old that I can't update it and so Haven't used it in two years.  How can I move it to my new laptop and make sure this doesn't happen again?  Very frustrated that I've spend $$ but can't get my music.
    I want so set up itunes on my laptop and make sure that I get all of my old music and any music shared from my sons' itunes accounts.  Do I have to set up itunes on my new laptop first and then use the same logins?  Really concerned about losing any music, etc.

    These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    Note if you have failed to move contacts and calendar items across you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should  merge the existing data from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

    Analytics can be accessed from the account under which folios are published for that app. If you don't see it under the account, I think it's best you contact support. Login to your DPS dashboard and click on "Contact Support" at the bottom left

  • For iOS the ipad version shows the folio that has been published, but the iPhone app is not.

    I am responsible for handling the apps and not at all involved with or know how the folio creation process works.
    When I build the app for iOS the iPad version shows the folio that has been published, but the iPhone app is not showing the folio.
    Is this something related to the build process or how the folio was created?
    The folio also shows up in the Android app (at least the phone I have tested with).
    Thanks,

    "Android and iOS viewers have different requirements for displaying folios. Any folio size you create can appear in an Android viewer. The articles are scaled and letterboxed as needed. However, on the iPad, the viewer displays only folios with a 4:3 aspect ratio. The iPhone viewer displays only folios with a 3:2 or 16:9 (1136x640) aspect ratio."

  • I created an imovie that runs 2hrs 14min but can't get it to burn on a DVD

    I creatded an imovie that runs 2hrs 14min but can't get it to burn onto a DVD. 
    Any recommendations?

    Hi
    iDVD - don't care about GBs - ONLY - Time = Movie + Menus - as follows
    iDVD 08, 09 & 11 has three levels of qualities. (version 7.0.1, 7,0.4 & 7.1.1) and iDVD 6 has the two last ones
    • Professional Quality
    (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - BEST (but not always for short movies e.g. up to 45 minutes in total)
    • Best Performances
    (movies + menus less than 60 min.) - High quality on final DVD (Can be best for short movies)
    • High Quality (in iDVD08 or 09) / Best Quality (in iDVD6)
    (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - slightly lower quality than above
    Menu can take 15 minutes or even more - I use a very simple one with no audio or animation like ”Brushed Metal” in old Themes.
    About double on DL DVDs.
    If You NEED to put in more than 120 minutes onto a SL DVD - Then I would use Roxio Toast™ as this can squees in between 7 to 10 hours onto this - BUT AT A BARELY USABLY QUALITY.
    VHS tapes recorded in EP- mode will look brilliant in comparision
    Just as info:
    SP = 240 minutes on a standard VHS tape
    LP = 480 minutes
    EP = 720 or more ?
