Gmail account incorrect?!

After update to ios5, when i set mail apps, all mail boxs and calendar are right except gmail account one and i am sure i input the right account and password and i can still login in on computer with the same gmail account...I don't want to creat a new Gmail account cause hips of calendar inside!!! Plz help

holyreviver,
If your password contains a mix of upper and lower case characters, I would recomend keeping an eye on the shift key as you enter your password. Sometimes it may seem to stick.
You will also get that error message if POP3 is not enabled with GMail online, or another machine is checking that account. Sometimes turning POP3 off, and then back on will help resolve it as well.
Hope this helps,

HT1430 I can no longer access my gmail account on any of my apple products. I get an error message saying my user name or email address is incorrect.

I am unable to access my gmail account on my iPhone or my iPad three. I get an error message saying that either my user name or password is incorrect. I have deleted my account and restarted my iPad or iPhone but it still will not work. Can anybody help me please?

You can not merge accounts.
Apps are tied to the Apple ID used to download them, you can not transfer them.

TS3899 My iPhone suddenly started telling me my gmail password is incorrect, but it's not. I can still sign into my gmail account from computers with that same pw. I deleted my gmail account in my phone, but I can't re-add it b/c it still says my pw is in

The problem has persisted for several weeks. I've updated to iOS7, but that didn't help. It just keeps telling me my password is incorrect, and I want to smash it into a wall!

I also had this problem. I was unable to add a gmail account after a wipe and new install of ios 7. I went to gmail, found the 2-step verification page https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185839?rd=1 and once on my own 2-step verification page, went to the app-specific passwords tab. This allowed me to generate a password for mail on the phone. This password replaced the normal password that I use for the account. A lot of work, but it worked.

Gmail on iphone was working fine until yesterday when it prompted me with the message cannot get mail user name or password for gmail is incorrect, i have tried deleting the account and re-created a new account, same problem, can anyone help?

I have followed directions several times to setup pop email (gmail) on my phone. I keep getting message that my user name or password for popmail is incorrect. Any suggestions? I've checked both & they are correct.

Did you enable POP Mail for your Gmail account settings via webmail access using a browser on your computer?

Hi,
Just wanted to say I found out the answer. I should have looked first to see if anyone else was having the same problem but I didn't.

HT201320 gmail account set-up and user name or password is incorrect?

Went through the set-up for gmail and iPad says user name or password is incorrect. Is there something I need to change on my gmail account settings that would allow my iPad to access account?

The phone is not deciding that your password is wrong. Google is. I'm sure you can find the answer you're looking for if you actually read the google help pages. This is a common problem.

GMail. Changed password on PC email account, and did same on IPhone 4 Settings for Gmail. App opens but tells me username or password for Gmail is incorrect. Have ensured both are correct...still no access

If you have 2-step verification set up for your gmail account, you will need to generate an application-specific password for your iphone applications (because those apps apparently don't support 2-step verification).
Go into your google account, look in accounts/security/2-step verification, there is a link called "Manage your application specific passwords" Use that to generate a special password for your iphone apps and use that instead of your usual gmail password on your phone.

Gmail account verification failed error "pop.gmail.gom" is incorrect

I'm getting this errror message "gmail account verification failed error "pop.gmail.gom" is incorrect"
I checked password, username and pop setting at the gmail in my computer and e verything is fine. I can log on with my iphone via safari to gmail. I can't use the built - in mail system. I updated to 1.1.1 to see if this would help solve but it didn't.

I'm trying to download my work email to my iPhone 5s. IMAP is enabled in my Gmail account; however, my phone keeps saying my IMAP username or password is incorrect. They're not incorrect. What do I do?

There is probably 2-step authentication set.

IMac indicating Password for Gmail is incorrect but iPhone and iPad are both able to connect to gmail account....how do I correct this on the iMac?

iMac indicating Password for Gmail is incorrect but iPhone and iPad are both able to connect to gmail account....how do I correct this on the iMac?

Try This:
Open up the imessage app on your Imac. Once you have it opened go to top left corner of your screen next to the apple picture and the word MESSAGES appears. Click on it then click on preferences and uncheck your husbands phone and number and or any other numbers which are checked. I had same problem this fixed it. Also if you wanted to you can open up your own Apple account, but that's not really necessary. My wife and I both share the same as you do

My iphone has started reporting incorrect username or password for my gmail account

I have re-entered both and checked that they match the ones which I use succesfully in Apple Mail on my Mac. I have also deleted and re-added the account with no effect. I notice that in Apple Mail the gmail account is set to use POP for incoming gmail whereas on the iPhone it appears to be set for IMAP, as the error message when I re-enter details refers to imap.gmail.com.
I can still send email from the gmail account on the iPhone and incoming gmail still works on the Mac.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Thanks for the suggestion. Thankfully it has not been necessary to make use of it as the problem solved itself.
Some research on another thread suggested a similar problem in August 2012. Some suggested that it was a fault at Google and that it cleared up of its own accord (without Google ever admitting it had happened). This appears to have been the case again on this occasion. I went to bed having failed to solve it and woke up to find it working again without so much as a re-boot.

I am Unable add my gmail account ( it says password or id is incorrect

Help

No, I wasn't a recipient (as far as I know, because I don't know your email address). But I've gotten plenty of spam from compromised accounts lately. Spammers seem t target gmail, hotmail and yahoo. Which is why I have added 2 step authentication to my gmail account. I recommend that everyone who uses gmail do so. Expecially important if you use other google services such as google voice, google wallet or google's office tools.

Hi
I had a power failure 2 days ago, my computer is running again, but now I cannot send email from my iPad using Cox or my gmail account. I am receiving mail in my Cox account but not my gmail account.It was working fine until the power failure. It keeps telling me, the user name or password for Gmail is incorrect. I have not changed anything. I don't know what is wrong. Can anyone help me? Thanks

I agree, unplug and replug your router, then reset your iPad by holding down the sleep and home buttons, ignore the red power down slider, and wait til you see the silver apple. let it reboot and then try your connection.
Chances are rebooting the router will help. You may also need to talk to cox. They may need to reset something on their end.
