GMail issues in iOS

I have been frequently running into an issue that iOS mail can't get e-mail.  I get the error "Cannot Get Mail, the user name or password for Gmail is incorrect"  I can delete the account and set it up again in settings and have no problem but then it won't fetch my mail.  issue occurs on both my iPad Air and iPhone 5S both running iOS 7.12.  I have no problem in Mac Mail or in a browser.
Any ideas??
Thanks!

Sadly, this does not appear to be the issue.  After a day with it working, I now get the same error regardless of how I try to connect (other than through the browser).  OS X on two computers, iOS on an iPad and an iPhone.

  • TS3899 how to fix gmail issue with ios 6.1.3 ?

    i have installed ios 6.1.3 update on my iphone and has stopped my gmail and other emails. i can i fix this ? any help?

    Delete all IMAP accounts that use 2-factor authentication which used to use application specific paswords and re-add them. I haven't seen one imap.gmail.com error since. Apple has added support for 2-factor authentication in iOS 8.3 and no longer needs app specific passwords.

  • GMail issues on iPhone built in mail app

    Hi all,
    Not sure if this is a Gmail / iPhone Mail-wide issue, but hoping it is.
    I have an iPhone 4 (original) with iOS 7.1.  Today, my built-in mail app had issues receiving mail, got some kind of 'cannot connect to Gmail IMAP' error most of the day.  It now seems to be able to connect, but my inbox has become frazzled.  I can basically only see the two most recently received messages.  Every other message I can see in my inbox is an e-mail I have sent (in the list below the two most recent messages I've received).  I can't see any of the other messages I've received, scrolling down the list only shows the ones I've sent.  It's driving me nuts!  I have removed my Gmail account and re-added it, same problem.  I've logged into Gmail on the web and everything looks fine, I've even checked on my computer via the Apple Mail app and it all looks alright.  Just the iPhone mail...not sure what is up.
    Any ideas?  Hoping some other people have experienced a similar issue!
    Thanks.

    Any ideas, guys?  I had a similar issue on iOS 6 but the move to iOS 7 fixed it.
    Yesterday, I moved a whole bunch of e-mails from my Gmail archive (on the web interface) to my inbox.  Now my Mail app on iPhone is missing a whole chunk of my e-mails....not sure how to fix this!
    Any advice would be most appreciated.  Thanks.
    EDIT: I should add, when I cycle to the All Mail folder, I can see everything as normal...but the inbox in the Mail app is missing all e-mails from before yesterday evening, choosing to show only those that are from months ago (and even then, they're just ones I've sent, all the received ones are missing).

  • When will these issues with iOS 8.0.2 be fixed?

    Admittedly, this problem has been going on since Apple released the core iOS 8 software, but it's glaring (worse) here. Let's go to the beginning.
    I own an iPhone 4S 8gb and upon release of the core iOS 8 software, I installed it like a fool and I didn't know that a lot of problems came with it, so the next morning, my iPhone's internet (connected to a WiFi network) was shotty as sin and I really needed it at the time because of a Transit thing I was doing until recently. The features that came with the iOS 8 is impressive, but I also was shocked when I couldn't even listen to my music for a whole day (I fixed that when I hooked up and synced in iTunes), despite my library having the same number of songs before the update on the iPhone. Now, I've heard of these problems from a friend who apparently works for the Apple tech department days after I discovered them myself, so I waited for the next update in hopes that it'd fix all of the core iOS 8's problems, but... short and to the point, this update is even worse than the core software. Problems include, but not limited to:
    Safari lags like crazy at times, especially when you're trying to type something. Also, Safari seems to not direct you to Google unless you searched for the topic again; I don't like doing that. I like typing in a research topic in Google's engine only once.
    Siri is much worse than the 7.1.2 software; the assistant can't tell what you're saying 69% of the time. I'm also not pleased with holding the home button to speak to the assistant and continue holding it until you finish speaking to her/him.
    Apps freeze and become unresponsive and in common cases, they crash in the middle of the night (a perfect example would be YouTube) while I'm sleeping (not 100% sure who's to blame for this, Apple or the app developers themselves).
    (refer to the lagging Safari bullet) The keyboard lags on you badly and I'm not just talking about Safari, this problem is every where you need the keyboard in, including basic texting in iMessage.
    The Music app apparently can't judge your selection at times, like, when you select a song from your library, it takes 3 hard pushes on the touchscreen to select it and sometimes, it randomly selects the next song under the one you want to listen to.
    Did I mention the constant lag?
    I'll probably find more problems as I scan though the iPhone tonight, but above are the main problems that I have with 8.0.2, not 8. I know what you're probably saying: "Why not just downgrade back to 7.1.2 where you didn't have barely any problems at all with your iPhone?" Well, apparently, Apple stopped signing the software when I tried to restore the iPhone in iTunes to that firmware, so I find it completely pointless to try to downgrade. My core question is "When will these issues with iOS 8.0.2 be fixed?" I know the iPhone 4S can work with the newest iOS, because, if it wasn't, iTunes wouldn't have notified me of the update. I was thinking of getting an iPhone 6 or 6 Plus June or July of next year, but if the software is still buggy at the time, I'll stick to my 4S until my contract ends at the end of 2015

    Also, I've noticed that the 4S' battery life is horrible even if there's just music going on in the background. Common battery life for the iPhone is 3 hours (just having music and data active) and most of the time, I'd have to carry my USB charging cable with wall socket so I don't have to worry about it shutting down on the go and I know it's the software that's the problem because it wasn't like this prior to iOS 8.0.2 or even the core iOS 8. Common battery life for the iPhone on iOS 7.1.2 was atleast 7-9 hours on the same conditions as listed above.

  • Bluetooth issue in ios 7.1

    I am facing the Bluetooth issue in ios 7.1 iphone.In ios 7.0 it works fine without any problem.I am using the EA framework for reading/writing the data in my application.Still I have not got any correct solution for this scenario. I am having a doubt that this issue is happening as because of EA framework which I am using it or do i need to change any settings.Could someone tell me the solution for this problem?

    1.I am using an external Bluetooth kit by which I will send the command through my iphone application.I will communicate with the external Kit through a command that writes and reads the data using External Accessory framework.In lower version except IOS 7.1 i was able to communicate properly without any issues.In EA framework implementing a delegate method I could able to write/read a data.
    2) Right now I am facing an issue only in ios 7.1 where I was not able to read any data from the external Bluetooth Kit.I have researched regarding this issue in all the sites I got to know some information that because of EA framework issue in ios 7.1 where I am able to communicate.But still I have a confusion that its happening because of EA framework or any other ios issues.

  • Is there an issue with iOS 8.2?

    It seems like there are a lot of people that are experiencing issues with iOS 8.2.  I guess it was just a coincidence that this happened to me when I unknowingly updated my iTouch out of the box.
    Missing songs and playlists after update
    Nothing has worked to fix this.  Is there an Certified Apple representative on this board that can address this with all of us?  If so, what is the timeframe for fixing these issues?

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tends to indicate a problem with your network.
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router
    .- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network      
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • HT6065 This update did NOT fix the GMail issue!!!!!!!!

    Am I the only one who is still have GMail issues using the Smart Mailbox? I can't retrieve any of my emails on my GMail accounts let alone delete add and delete the account.

    I've been having this problem for a while myself, ever since after the first Mail update. Today's OS update didn't help either, and I just submitted Feedback to Apple, for the second time, having done it a few weeks ago to.
    I tried deleting the GMail accounts and recreating them, both from within Mail and then within the System Preferences panel. There doesn't seem to be a rhyme or reason. After initially opening Mail, it works fine and retrieves messages for a while, and then ... it doesn't. Choosing "Get Mail" won't retrieve any email, but choosing "Synchronize All Accounts" does. Also, if I perform any action beyond simply reading an email, it will retrieve the email from that mailbox. That is, if I reply to or delete a message, it retrieves any messages at that time too.
    It's REALLY annoying that two updates later, something which seems like it should be relatively simple still doens't work.

  • On my iphone 5 , i m facing slow wifi issue. Ios 6.0.2 didnt resloved it.any one please told me ios 6.1 fixed this issue or not b/c i m right now not in a mood to install the ios 6 .

    On my iphone 5 , i m facing slow wifi issue. Ios 6.0.2 didnt resloved it.any one please told me ios 6.1 fixed this issue or not b/c i m right now not in a mood to install the ios 6 .

    It seems that people experience slow wifi on iphone with IOS 6 under slightly different circumstances.
    Some have slow/choppy video streaming, some have problems with large dropbox files, some with app store and some with podcasts.
    Which is your problem AdeelRasheed?
    Me personally, I have download speed when on wifi.
    But only when downloading podcasts...
    Running 6.0.1 or 6.1 on iPhone 5, iPhone 4 and iPad 2.
    On WIFI I can download a 45 mb app from the appstore in less than a minute. I can stream Youtube and Netflix with no problems. Internet browsing - no problems.
    But downloading podcasts with Instacast 3, Downcast or the Apple Podcast app happens at a rate of 20-80 kb/s when on WIFI. As soon as I switch to 3g ( 4g/LTE is not yet available from my local provider) my download speed goes to between 300kb/s and 2 mb/s.
    Anyone else have this problem?

  • ICal/Google sync issues since iOS 8.2 update

    Since the update to iOS 8.2 a few days ago, iCal on my iPhone 5s is not syncing with my Google Calendar.  I have already reset the 2 step verification on my Google calendar permissions, checked to make sure events are in the Google calendar and not in the iPhone calendar, and checked settings to make sure the Google calendar is selected.  The only thing I have not tried (because I'm worried that changes I made prior to realizing thisi was an issue would be lost) is deleting my Google account from the iPhone and reconnecting.  Is that really my only remaining option?  I'm stumped. 

    I'm facing the same issue on iOS 8.2 iPhone6. iCal is not syncing on the iPhone. It does, however, sync from Yosemite to iCloud.com.

  • Ipad 3 locks up when typing in gmail since loading ios 8.  Any solutions?

    ipad 3 locks up when typing in gmail since loading ios 8.  Any solutions?

    Hey JoeiPod14, The battery meter whether you use the icon (which is better and uses less power) or the percentage, shows you the battery life remaining based on current power use. In others words as Illaass has stated it will fluctuate wildly. Example: You turn on your iPod it shows 90%, start gaming, let's say it's an online, high end graphics game. Your percent drops quickly to 65%, then you stop the game and start listening to listen to music on your iPod and the percent goes back up to 80%. In each case, the battery meter is showing you how much battery you life you have based on what you were doing at the time. Bottom line the harder the iPod has to work, the less time you will have to work / use it before the next charge. (I know-- duh!) Think of your battery meter as a gas tank gauge, it does not tell you when or where you will run out if gas or this case power only that it is close, if near empty. Oh, your question why it drops, even when I the charger, I assuming your iPod / iPhone was a sleep, powered down-- not working the CPU very hard, when you wake the device up there is power draw, so you see the fluctuations you have described, once the power surge stabilizes you get the current percent. Hope this helps. Cheers.

  • Has anyone had app update issues with iOS 8.1?

    I'm running iOS 8.1 on a iPhone 6+.  If I try to update an app from the app store without being logged in, it will hang the process and the update will fail.
    Previously, with my iPhone 4 and iOS 7.1.2 the app store would ask me to log in when an app update was attempted without being logged in.
    The work around until apple fixes this bug is to ensure you are logged in BEFORE attempting an app update.  An honest techie at the local apple store admitted this is a bug (one of many) in iOS 8.1.  Has anyone else had this issue with iOS 8.1

    Nope, I'm able to update an app in iOS 8.1, even if I'm not first logged into the iTunes & App Store in Settings.  It prompts me to update the app, then I sign in with my password.
    Do you have Touch ID enabled for App Store or not?

  • Using Gmail Aliases with iOS 8 Mail App

    I'm wondering if there is any way to use gmail aliases with the default mail app. I've already tried the methods listed on these two sites:
    http://www.nathanpjones.com/wp/2014/01/using-gmail-aliases-in-ios-7/
    http://tbb.co/sending-from-a-gmail-alias-on-ios-8/
    I can already send from a few different aliases with the default mail app on Mac. I have two step authentication setup on on my gmail account so I've these methods with both my normal password and app specific passwords generated by Google. Is there something that I'm missing?

    Seems to work properly for me. Are we looking at the same place? to instruct it to Delete instead of Archive:
    In Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > (select account) > Account (select your e-mail address) > Advanced.
    Mailbox Behavior for Deleted Mailbox: Trash.
        then
    Move Discarded Messages Into: Deleted Mailbox.
    It wasn't this way by default.  Move Discarded was Archive, and it gave the results you described.  Changing that to Deleted works for me.
    I set the Swipe left-to-right to Archive.  So now one swipe will Archive, the other will Delete.
    oooh... p.s.... this seems to work as well:

  • Issues with IOS and WPA2 Enterprise

    Hi,
    Done a lot of searching on this, but can't find anything useful!
    I've got a network running WPA2 Enterprise using AES and PEAP/EAP-MSCHAP-V2
    For some reason, all our apple IOS devices connect to the network fine and are able to accept the server certificate, but can't seem to access anything over the network such as the internet once connected. I'm currently testing an iPad mini with IOS 7.0.4
    I have other devices such as laptops and a Windows Phone 8 devices, and everything works fine.
    Am I missing something here? What could be causing the IOS devices to stop accessing the network?
    Cheers,
    Carl.

    I just found this on the frontline support site, I believe my question has been answered:
    Important Notice
    iOS Devices
    Apple has made a change to the PushMagic or UnlockToken values in that they may differ in size to previous values. This can cause issues with iOS devices being able to connect to the Afaria server as the current database field size is not adequate to facilitate the variable length of this value.
    Apple has made a change to the PushMagic or UnlockToken values in that they may differ in size to previous values. This can cause issues with iOS devices being able to connect to the Afaria server as the current database field size is not adequate to facilitate the variable length of this value.
    There is an Apple issue that we have found in our testing that occurs when iOS devices are enrolled. This issue fails a check when the enrollment payload is inspected and the signing cannot be read. SAP believes Apple will fix this issue prior to iOS 7.1 being released but we are working on a patch that will address this issue shortly in case the fix does not make the iOS 7.1 GA release.
    Afaria will be providing a patch to address this issue that increases the size of the database column from 2K to 6K to accommodate this change.
    This issue is resolved in Service Pack 3 Hot Fix 39 and Service Pack 4 Hot Fix 3. Available now.
