Error:cannot install gmail on original iPad after deleting account and trying to re-install
After entering valid name & password, I get an error that cannot connect to imap.gmail & that ID and/or password have been entered incorrectly.
I have verified everything in the gmail account, and cannot find why this is happening.
Its likely to be two factor authentication.
I had this same issue and spent a long time trying to work out why. It occurred after I got a got a new iPhone. I went as far as resetting all my passwords, deleting my gmail accounts from the iPhone mail app etc. It turns out my issue (and hopefully yours) was that I had two-factor authentication turned on for gmail security. You have to put in a 16 digit unique password into the iPhone mail app rather than your normal sign in password. Generate this by going into your gmail --> settings --> accounts and import --> other google account settings --> security --> (check that 2 factor authentication is enabled) --> click settings next to 2 step verification --> app specific passwords ---> manage app specific passwords --> then use the drop down menus to select app (customise name - iPhone) and device. It will give you a 16 digit password and instructions on where to put it. If you are setting up the account fresh then put the app specific 16 digit password in INSTEAD of your normal gmail password.
I hope that helps you with your problem!

Gmails appearing on ipad after deletion
I use gmail. When I delete an email and empty my trash i have some emails that continue to show on my ipad when I search for the recipient even though it is completely gone from my gmail. Does anyone know why that is? How can I remove it? When I click on that email it appears to be in a compose mode. I have tried to send it to myself and delete it but it persists on showing up on my ipad.
SOLVED!!!!

News about the Calendar Syncing problem with iCloud!
First of all: Now it works! Yeah :-)
What I did:
1. Kill my iCloud account just on the iPhone. Not on the iMac, just on the iPhone. And I told the iPhone to kill all contacts etc. JUST on the iPhone.
2. Activate iCloud on the iPhone with my Apple-ID.
3. After about 3 Minutes all was back again! :-) Including all my calendars now! Yippieh...
That worked for me, I hope, it will help you.

Deleting itunes and trying to re-install
having trouble up-dating itunes, one suggestion was to un-install and then re-install itunes. On deleting itunes from control panel, I get the following message
"error getting file security: C:\Users\PC\AppData\Roaming\MicroSoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\Get Last Error:87" When I get to quick Launch, I do not see "get last error 87". Any advice?See this support doc.

Hi, I'm gone and Restore icons to the original iPad 6.1.2 and up to six time and I'm confronted with error 3194, how do you answer Restore Give Thanks
Read this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694#error3194
Make sure your iTunes is up to date (11.0.5 is the newest, I believe)
Also, try temporarily disabling your security software. -
I have downloaded e-books from Leserskring on my computer. I would like to download it to my Samsung Tablet as well. It says I cannot as it was already installed by another user. I contact Leserskring and they said I installed it on my computer without creating an Adobe ID and cannot change the "authorization information" on my Adobe Digital Editions. If I do it now on my computer, after installing my books, I will loose all my books. Is this true or how can I correct it.

I have an iPad version 4.3 and I had instagram install, like I was having problem I uninstalled it, but now I can't install it again, because my iPad doesn't support the new version, is there a way that I can download instagram for this iPad?
Update your iOS.
If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1.3. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.
iOS 5: Updating your device to iOS 5 or Later

iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.

Getting same error message - 1st time ever having a problem witn iTunes. Tried to re-install iTunes but that just got another error message. Does this mean I have lost everything.
Have a look at the articles mentioned here:http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
Unknown Error containing "0xE" when restoring: To resolve this issue, follow the steps in iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Unknown error containing '0xE' when connecting. If you have a Windows computer with an Intel® 5 series/3400 series chipset, you may need updates for your chipset drivers. See iTunes for Windows: Issues syncing iOS devices with P55 and related Intel Chipsets for more information. -
after deleting firefox and reinstalling it Ikeep getting a message telling me that it cant be updated until i deleate the original programme how do I get rid of that message
You seem to be running the latest Firefox 9.0.1 version according to the user agent in your system details list:
*Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:9.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/9.0.1
Do a clean (re)install and delete the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 9.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data in the profile folder.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

I have an iPhone 4S and when I try to add an iCloud account is gives me an error "Cannot Sign In, The maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this iPhone." Is there any way to deactivate an account? I have one for myself, one for my family and one for my work. I had all three on my iphone and then I deleted my work. I wanted to get my own person @me.com account. It wouldn't let me create it from my iphone, so I created it from my Macbook Pro. I am trying to add it to my iphone, but it keeps giving me that error. If there is a way I can deactivate my work one so I can use my @me.com personal account?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Unfortunately once all the 3 iCloud accounts have been created on your mobile device, you cannot create any more regardless of what you do. You will need to re-use one of the accounts that you have already created or create your new account on another device or computer.
You should however be able to add existing accounts to your device, are you sure you aren't trying to create on rather than simply use an existing one. -
I keep getting an error when trying to update an app- cannot connect to store. I logged out from my account and tried to log back in and got the same error. I am doing all this from my phone since I no longer own a personal computer (only work) since I use iCloud and I tunes match
YAY!!! Saved it in my Mac's Firefox Bookmarks for easy future access!
Hope you are having a lovely afternoon today! I'm about ready to go bobo....I have an early meeting, and I don't want to oversleep! The nice part is that I work remotely, so I only have to wake up 15 minutes or so before the meeting.... I don't even use an alarm clock anymore (really, my iPhone alarm, which is much more pleasant), unless I have to get up at 6:30 or something....

Can't re-install apps via App Store after deleting them.
Can't re-install apps via App Store after deleting them.
I tried cleaning all appstore.plist, cache, cookie files.
The problem remains the same.
Please advice.If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Select
/var/log ▹ install.log
from the hierarchical list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar. Then select the messages from the last installation or update attempt, starting from the time when you initiated it. If you're not sure when that was, start over and note the time. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.

Can not get email after updating to 8.1.1! Deleted account and now cannot add as will not verify due to Apple something timeout messages? Any one else having problems?
Hi tania184,
Have you contacted your email provider to make sure there are no problems on their end? If they say their email servers are working properly, check the outgoing and incoming mail servers entries on your iPhone to make sure both are entered correctly. Enter the outgoing mail server even if the account setup indicates that is optional. -
