Gmail inbox stays on screen after incorrect password entered. Can 't be closed.

I set up a gmail acct on my Ipad 2, but then entered an incorrect password. The error message and the gmail inbox remains on the screen and won't return to the password entry box. I called Apple support several times. They suggested re=entering my name and password in settings, but this didn't work. The tech seemed at a loss as to the next step. Any ideas?

Glad that worked for you.
Apple is pretty good about fixing their own software. If you ever get an answer that doesn't seem to make sense you can always ask for someone higher up the technical support food chain.
After years of dealing with tech support with a variety of companies / services you realize that the reality is, you can't hire "experts" to take every phone call. If you get a dead end response about something they should know (like how to get out of an error window in their own program), thats a good sign you have someone who is new (which is no crime, we are all new to various things in life) and once they've done their bit, ask for a supervisor.

Active screen corner + incorrect password results in hibernation, help!

I've got the right top (active) screen corner set to sleep my display.
And only recently noticed that, if after using that i try to move mouse or press any key it would ask me for password, which is OK, but the problem is that if after entering incorrect password 3 times (happens , it would hibernate my mac for some reason.
I am not observing the same behavior if I just let the system unattended and screen saver kicks in, and then screen goes blank, or even if I lock the screen directly from keychain access.
In both these scenarios my system is not being hibernated if I made a typo 3 times in my password, so it only happens while using active screen corner.
Any idea how to get around this annoyance?

Sorry,sorry,sorry,folks.
Problem solved.I was just moving my cursor to the corner area of the screen.You have to go virtually off the screen corner to activate this.

Settings to lock phone after incorrect password attempts?

Where can I find the settings to lock my phone after a series of incorrect password attempts?

That is related to google if I remember correctly,and to unlock you need to either wait for 30 seconds ->1 minute or recover with your gmail account. However, I haven't noticed this on my Z1,it didn't offer me the option to recover with gmail.

Hi,
Try the following.
Shutdown the notebook and leave it like this for 10 seconds.
Tap away at f11 as soon as you press the power button until you see a 'Windows is loading' message.
On the next screen, select your Keyboard Layout and on the following screen, select Troubleshoot.
Select 'Advanced Options' and then select System Restore.
Click on your Operating System and then wait until the System Restore window opens.
Pick a restore point before the log-in issue occurred and then proceed with the system restore.

Disable Password Lockout Due to Incorrect Password Entered

Would like to disable password lockout if a user enters the wrong password too many times. Does anyone know how to set this up for portal user's?

In the UME config screen under "Security Policy" you can set the maximum number of failed logon attempts to 0.
Please note this is a portal setting. If you are attempting to authenticate to an LDAP or ABAP then it may have some extra rules.

Facebook app not staying full screen after IOS 7.1 upgrade

Just started this morning... did the 7.1 upgrade last night. Not sure if I accessed FB last night after the upgrade.
What I'm seeing this morning is pretty weird... best way to describe it is: the FB app is not fully crashing... if I start it, it throws the FB screen for a milli-second, then it disappears. BUT... it still shows up as a running app, with recent posts shown in the preview window of the running apps section (FB window above FB icon). If I try to maximize it, it goes full screen for a milli-second then disappears but is still shown as a running app.
I checked the FB account info in the iPad's Settings and it was missing my FB acct info. I added the info back in but the problem continues.
I haven't checked every app on my iPad but the Chrome, Gmail, and ebay apps are all working fine. Just tried Maps, iTunes Store, and Garageband and they all start up as expected.

I've had no problems with the Facebook App. Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).
No data will be lost.

Cannot restore iPad after incorrect password lock

I have incorrectly entered my passcode into my my iPad to the point where it is now telling me "iPad disabled connect to iTunes." But when I attempt to connect the iPad to my computer I am presented with another error message on iTunes which says "iTunes could not connect to "iPad" because the iPad is locked and in lost mode." the iPad is not in Lost Mode as I have checked via my iPhone so I don't know why this error is presented. To add to the problem, if I attempt to Restore the iPad using Recovery Mode I am presented with another error message that the network connection has timed out, hence the iPad has now become completely unusable.

Hey DTl315,
At that point you will need to put your iPad into recovery mode and then use iTunes to restore it. Take a look at the article below to walk you through this. If you have a back up in iTunes or in iCloud, you can put that back on after the restore done.

Date stays on screen after scroling through library

If I use the side bar to quickly scroll up or down through my library, the date comes up in a grey box...which is fine...but when I'm done scrolling, the date won't go away. Anyone have any tips for hwo to fix this?
thanks.

quit iPhoto and delete your iPhoto preferences - "your username" ==> library ==> preferences ==> com.apple.iPhoto.plist - when you launch iPhoto again it will create a fresh, new preference file - reset any user preferences you have changed and repoint iPhoto to the iPhoto library if you have changed its location

HT4865 if I forgot my screen lock out password how can I get into my ipod

I forgot my screen lock out pass code on my ipod can i get into it??

Back it up and restore it using iTunes on the last computer it was synced with. At the end of the restore process, when the iPod restarts and reappears in iTunes you will be given the option to restore to the backup you made at the beginning. When it finishes, the passcode will be removed.
This will only work if you have previously synced with iTunes after setting the passcode on your device.

I can't purchase anything unless I answer both security questions after the password and can't remember security question answers. What do I do?

WARNING -"You have entered an incorrect password 5 times. After 10 unsuccessful attempts your device data will be erased."

Dear All, Good day!I just I really need your help badly with regard to my phone. I used to charge the battery of my phone using USB cable on my laptop and today morning my phone is working just fine, but I was running out of battery so I tried to charge it. After few minutes, when I am about to use it, the lock code is not working anymore. I didn’t changed my password or done anything new and I am 101% sure that I have entered my password correctly. However, there’s a message showing : WARNING -"You have entered an incorrect password 5 times. After 10 unsuccessful attempts your device data will be erased." The screen shows Incorrect Password (6/10), but I am entering my correct code again and again and still not working. I restarted it many times and still showing the same thing. Now, I can’t get in and use my phone. I tried to call my number and it still reachable. Thank you so much in advance

To: JSanders, Hi there! thanks for spending time reading my queries and replying on it.YES! I am 101% positive with my security code. Thank God I was able to recover it and use my phone again. Just an input for those who might experience the same thing. Using Black Berry Z30, once you have the dialog box saying:WARNING -"You have entered an incorrect password 5 times. After 10 unsuccessful attempts your device data will be erased." and shows that you still have atleast 3-4 available chances to enter the code, just type "blackberry" thereafter another screen will pop-up and will ask to enter again your password. As long as you are 100% sure about your password, you'll be able to enter and get it back. Now, I am enjoying again my Z30.
