Gen1 phone, Google Gmail and 2.0 upgrade

After a hellish upgrade to 2.0 I now find that my Gmail account is useless on the upgrade. I have now added a Yahoo! email account that works perfectly fine (knock on wood) but I would prefer my Gmail account.
From what I understand, Gmail is not compatible with 2.0.
Is this true or is it a bug in the new firmware?

Were you using a POP or IMAP account setup prior to the upgrade?
I re-setup my Gmail account in mail with an IMAP account and it works flawlessly (save for my iPhone's odd inability to check email every 15 minutes despite the option being checked). Try that if you're using POP and make sure you have the IMAP option checked in your Gmail settings.

TS3988 if i upgrade my i cloud memory will it work on my i phone i pad and mac

i upgrade my i cloud memory will it work on my i phone i pad and mac

When you upgrade icloud memory, you are buying more "disk" space on iCloud's servers. This has nothing to do with iPad or Mac memory. Each device will then be able to use that added space on iCloud for backups and storage of compatible files.

I have tried the steps suggestedf including deleting cookies.squilte (which is not present on my computer after a search) to keep signed in to e-mail accounts at yahoo and gmail and they haven't worked? Suggestions for this novice + user, anyone??

Firefox will not work with Google, GMail, or Google Search

I have a client that uses Google for e-mail and calendar. I am constantly on this site. I noticed last Friday that Google, GMail and Google search will not work on Firefox. When I go to the website for my client it spins says connecting and then just stops. When I try to put a search in the Google search box nothing happens. It's like I did absolutely nothing.
I need this access. I use Firefox because I develop websites and like the developer add-ons. There has to be a fix for this. Please let me know when this is fixed.

I opened Firefox in Safe Mode and there was no difference. I also found the file cookies.sqlite and renamed it cookies.sqlite.old. I deleted the 2 other cookies files. Still no difference. I am still unable to get a google search or log into a google account.

I would like my google toolbar back and all my icons gmail and now with firefox 5 it is not compatiable why did you not ask me before taking them away with upgrade?????

I would like to roll back to previous version of Firefox that I had, because the upgrade took away Google toolbar which I loved and the g mail icons and Google this and that I had and now your Firefox is not compatible with Google tool bar so I cannot re-install them. Can I have the prior version back of Firefox.

Extensions for Firefox, such as the Google Toolbar, include a list of compatible Firefox versions. Currently, the Google Toolbar only goes up to Firefox 4. However, people have tested and it actually works on Firefox 5, so there are two workarounds:
(1) Edit a file to revise the range of compatible versions
(2) Install an add-on that lets you ignore the range of compatible versions
This thread has info on both approaches: [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/837142 google toolbar does not work with firefox 5.0. why not! | Firefox Support Forum | Firefox Help].
Any luck?
Oh, and due to security vulnerabilities, rolling back to Firefox 4.0.1 is not recommended.

Mail works even worse with Gmail and Google apps after upgrade

I had good hopes that Apple would solve the mail issues with the 10.9.2 update, but unfortunately it seems that now the synchronization between Gmail/Google apps is completely off.
After archiving a message in my mail application the message remains in my inbox in Google apps and Gmail.
When I was using 10.9.1 this was not the case, I only suffered delay in receiving mails and could not manually move a message from my inbox to the all messages box.
I have Outlook on my Mac, which came with Office, but never configured it.
Do I really need to start to use that programm?

Googles version of an IMAP system works poorly with most clients. If you are going to use it then choosing a client that works the way Google wants them too is a wise course.
Of that breed MailPlane is easily the best, AirMail is a solid second.

Thanks for posting oldbuck!
Glad to hear you were able to resolve the freezing issue on your DROID Incredible! I would be happy to see if we can restore your contacts.
I know you mentioned you didn't have an active Backup Assistant account at the time of the update, however, did you have a Google account setup on your device prior to the update? If so, check on www.gmail.com to see if your contacts are backed up in the "Contacts" section. If they are you can just readd the Google account to your device and enable the "Sync Contacts", and all of your contacts will be synced back to your device.
I trust I have answered your question, and have addressed your concerns.

Can I read gmail and Google Apps mail?

hi
I am yet to upgrade to iOS 4.2 on my iPhone. I have a Gmail and a Google Apps mail account.
Can I configure iPhone to receive both these emails? If so, when I reply to mails I need it to have respective return email addresses, signatures
regards
Mahesh

I forgot to write that if I read an email on my phone it actually eventually shows as read on my computer, which makes this even more puzzling...!

My husband and I have upgraded our phones (iPhone 4s and iPhone 5) to the iPhone 5s. We have given 2 of our kids the "old" phones and want to set them up as an iPod touch. Both kids have email and need to be able to text (iMessage).

My husband and I have upgraded our phones (iPhone 4s and iPhone 5) to the iPhone 5s. We have given 2 of our kids the "old" phones and want to set them up as an iPod touch. Both kids have email and need to be able to text (iMessage).
I have read multiple posts on how to do this and I am still confused.
Apple ID/ICoud:
We want to be able to monitor what they do, but do not want their devices linked to our emails/contacts/etc... Each kid has their own email account. So, from what I have read the best way to do this is to use our family Apple ID, but set them up with a separate iCloud account? Is this correct?
Reset/Restore/DFU:
To start fresh we have done multiple factory resets. I did one that someone said was a DFU and a plan ol' factory reset, etc... Not sure the difference. However, when I do that I get the "hello" screen and am able to start setting the phone up anew. However, when I go to set the phone up as an iPod I end with the same result.
So, here is what I am doing (tell me what I am doing wrong):
Hello Screen
Asks me to select language and selecting: English
Select Your Country or Region: United States
Choose a Wi-Fi Network: select my home wi-fi network
Enter password: entered my home wi-fi network password
Activiate iPhone - wants me to enter Apple ID and Passwordsays that this iphone is currently linked to an Apple ID (k*******@gmail.com). Sign in with the Apple ID that was used to set up this iPhone.
Location Services - I have enabled location services
Set Up iPhone
Set Up as New iPhone
Apple ID
Options are to sign in with your Apple ID or Create a Free Apple ID
Or I could "skip this step"
I signed in with my Apple ID
Terms and Conditions - Agree
iCloud - I can select either to use iCloud or Don't Use iCloud - I selected use iCloud
Find My iPhone - I can select either to use find my iPhone or to not - I selected use find my iphone
Once I do this it says iMessage and FaceTime and shows the following:
my email
my other child's cell phone number
and my husband's work phone number
This is where things do not make sense. I only want the phone set up with the current child's email address. Where did I go wrong?

There are a number of Apple services: iMessage, FaceTime, iCloud, Game center, Find My iPad, etc.
Now, to share apps, music and books you need to have the same Apple ID:
iPad's Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID > Your purchasing Apple ID.
For the other service, your wife should have her own Apple ID.
All she needs is a valid e-mail address, apply Apple ID below:
https://appleid.apple.com

After installing the new Yosemite OS on my iMac I can no longer send email. I can receive email, but not send. I use gmail and can send email on the gmail (google) site, but not on "mail" on my iMac. Any others with this problem? What should we do?

After installing the new Yosemite OS on my iMac I can no longer send email. I can receive email, but not send. I use gmail and can send email on the gmail (google) site, but not on "mail" on my iMac. Any others with this problem? What should we do?

My gmail, which is correctly configured for Mail with gmail SMTP and Google IMAP, works for awhile on Mail, which I leave open while working on other applications. But several times a day I get msg from Google: "We recently blocked a sign-in attempt to your Google Account" . . . and requiring me to verify my account details, re-enter passwords, confirm security settings (or change them from "disable" to "enable less secure methods" and so on). In Mail I also have tried "taking all accounts online", and re-entering my gmail password inside Mail account settings. These steps successfully re-set comms between gmail and Mail ... for awhile, then it happens again. Enough occurrences over a work day that I just quit Mail and revert to accessing gmail directly. Apple Care advisor and an Apple knowledge base article say that Apple can't deal with this, as gmail is third-party app, and they refer me to gmail, and so far I've found nothing helpful there.
From today I also have several instances of a window saying "Mail has unexpectedly closed" and asking me to Re-open it.
I also use Yahoo mail, which stops working with Mac Mail at the same time as gmail, but I do not receive notices to re-verify from Yahoo.
I recently upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite. The Mail problem happened occasionally with Mavericks but is far more frequent with Yosemite.

Bug in Mail when using Google Apps Gmail and sync

I found a bug in the sync process between the Mac and the phone. If you have Mail (on the computer) set to use Google Apps for Your Domain, the sync on the phone changes the user for the mail account. I assume this is because it sees "smtp.gmail.com" or something and decides to "protect" you from having an incorrect user account.
So for example, if you're using Google Apps and your e-mail is [email protected], Mail (on the computer) will also have smtp.gmail.com and pop.gmail.com as the servers. When sync'd to the phone, iTunes or the phone decide to change the user account for both servers to [email protected]@gmail.com, which is of course not what we want.
I'm kind of annoyed that they're trying to protect us like this.

Yeah unfortunately if you tried to send an e-mail
before discovering that bug, you will have an error
message show every time you access Mail saying "the
sender address [email protected]@gmail.com was
rejected by the server."
I can't get it to go away even by deleting the
account on iPhone and not setting it to sync.
Anybody know of a fix?
-AJT
Yes. Create the GMail account on your iPhone using the Other shortcut instead of the GMail shortcut. That will let you specify whatever address you want.

In gmail, clicking on any message, gets "Loading..." forever after upgrading gmail to google+. Fine on non google+ gmail account

see title. completely repeatable. onset was definitely right after upgrading my gmail account to google+. Without google+, gmail works as expected in Firefox. WIth google+ it works fine in other browsers.

If you use extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) that can block content (e.g. Adblock Plus, NoScript, Flash Block, Ghostery) then make sure that such extensions aren't blocking content.
If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: Firefox > Quit Firefox; Linux: Firefox/File > Quit)

Clarification with Google Sync and Gmail account

I recently linked my gmail account to my phone and prior to this i was using google sync to link my google calendar and phone calendar. After adding my gmail i began to get multiple contacts and calandar entries...Does anyone know why?

Hello,
Currently, the BIS system provides for the wireless synchronization of Calendar and Contacts with Google, with no need to synchronize via USB tether via the Desktop Software. So, if you have activated this new BIS feature AND also have some other channel for loading that information to your BB, that would indeed result in duplication. You will need to shut one or the other off and just have one channel for synchronizing that data.
Good luck!

Contacts transfer to new phone created multiples and corrupted my Gmail account Contacts

I recently upgraded from my old Razr XT912 to the New Maxx. I love my new phone, but when I did the upgrade, the store associate took my old phone and attempted to transfer all my data to my new phone. Besides none of my pictures or other data transferring, when I got my phone back, I had 2 or more often 3 of every contact in my address book. To make matters worse, this caused my entire G-Mail contacts list to then carry all of these triplicated entries. So now you have not only screwed up my Verizon phone contacts list, but you have corrupted my entire GMail Contacts as well. I am NOT happy. How can Verizon make this right? How can I easily eliminate the multiple duplicate/triplicate entries in my contacts list?

Hi, thank you for responding.
I did get all my data off my old phone as it was transfered onto a 16GB
microSD card that was in the phone, but none of it transfered directly to
my new Droid Maxx. Instead I had to take the card home, load it on my PC
and then transfer back to my phone the data that I wanted. Not a huge
deal, but kind of a pain to go through, especially since I thought the guy
in the store just transfered everything over. In the end, I did go back to
the store the next day to retrieve a few items that were still on the phone
memory.
I used backup assistant some time ago and then I think I turned it off in
favor of using Gmail to back aeverything up. I don't know if I had
duplicates of stuff in both places, but in the end, everything copied over
to my gmail contacts and I had 3 of everything. very frustrating. I found
a way to merge duplicate contacts in Gmail contacts and that got me down
from 1500+ to 1000+, but I started out with only about 500. I'm still
trying to figure out what the extra 500 are that are not duplicates and
where they came from.
My Gmail contacts is fixed, for the most part, so I am ok. But, this is a
huge Pain and it happens to EVERYONE in some way or another. I can't
believe the mobile service providers have not figured out a way to do this
without causing a problem. Seriously disappointing. the last time I
changed phones, all of my business contacts got condensed down into one
single generic contact with over one hundred business numbers and addresses
listed within that contact. there was no way split them back out. So when
ever I recieved a call from any one of those 100+ complanies, the same
contact name came up and I couldn't tell who it was. I finally ended up
deleting it and starting over from scratch.
Seriously, Verizon needs to spend some time and money and figure out how to
do this.
Frustrated.

Can Icloud sync with google calendar and gmail?

We use google calendar at my office and share it with our staff. I thought we would be able to sync those calendars with icloud and google. Before icloud, I set up an exchange account on Ipad, iphone, imac and it works well for calendar and email. I thought I could replace that sync with icloud, but it seems to not be designed that way. Should google calendar and gmail users stick with google?

THANK YOU ithos!
I have searched and searched to try and find a way to sync my Google calendars with iCloud.
You don't exactly say how to make this happen, but you gave me enough nuggets to put it together. Thank you for responding and helping me put it all together.
I have 5 Google calendars (Family, Work, Church, Extended Family Birthdays, US Holidays). My wife, two different assistants and I all share and update the calendars. I want all this to continue since it affects every aspect of my life. I sit at a PC at work and need to be able to view all those calendars during the work week, I also need to be able to view and edit from work (pc), iPhone, wife's iPhone, assistants computers, and our home (mac). So, staying Google - for now, is what I need.
I just upgraded to the 4S and Siri is one of the main reasons. Without iCloud syncing with my calendars Siri is USELESS with calendaring stuff. So, I have to have Siri able to view my calendars as well.
So, with that info, here's how I got it all to work.
For those of you who need a start to finish explanation, here it is:
1. Computer running the OS Lion (mine's an iMac)
2. Open iCal on the Mac
3. Open your Google Calendar
4. In iCal go to iCal --> Preferences --> Accounts.
Make sure iCloud is listed under Accounts. This was my default, so I didn't have to make any changes. If yours lists something different, sorry. I don't know how to change it. But I believe this is a KEY component as ithos above mentions that the subscription be 'located' on iCloud.
5. In iCal go to Calendar --> Subscribe
This will force a pop up asking you for the URL of the calendar you are trying to subscribe to.
Where do you find this URL? I found this article from 2006 that gives the low down:
http://www.tuaw.com/2006/04/13/howto-subscribe-to-a-google-calendar-using-ical/
Don't worry, even though it's from 2006 it still works. Here are the steps in a nutshell, but you should read the short article so you don't miss anything.
6. In Google Calendar you need to dig into EACH calendar that you want to 'Subscribe to' and find the unique URL for that calendar. This will allow you to then force iCal to look at and scrape the data from this calendar as often as every 5 minutes. As you follow the articles steps (they are very easy) then your iCal calendar will populate with the Google calendar data from the calendar you subscribed to. I had to do this for EACH calendar I wanted to show up on my iCal calendar.
7. I then grabbed my iPhone and asked Siri, "What does my day look like tomorrow?" She responded with all my iCal / iCloud (which are all subscribed to my Google calendars) calendar data. I smiled
This ONLY allows the Google info to be pushed to iCal / iCloud. It doesn't allow the info to go the other way.
It won't let Siri manipulate the iCal/iCloud calendar or the Google calendar. But at least Siri can see what's already there. So, a step in the right direction.
Good luck!
