Gmail Login

All of a sudden I'm being prompted when using the PlayBook Messages app for my Gmail login.  Enter it but it's not happy and keeps prompting me to input it.  What's going on??
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Just an update... Gmail through Playbook Messenger worked great from the first day that 2.0 was released... My problem started yesterday.
The error message in Messenger today is different... Its now 'unable to authenticate Gmail'.
Amazingly right now it seems to have fixed itself. I expect the problem is with a RIM server somewhere as my wifi is great and I can get Gmail through my Playbook browser.

  • How can I stop gmail login from hijacking my blueyonder webmail

    ( Please note that I have posted this story, as a reply to someone else's gmail problem; but now realise it should be a separate question. At least I realised..... eventually.)
    I recently set up a gmail account: in my ignorance, I thought it was a good idea. How wrong!!!
    Since getting this computer several years ago, I've had no big problems with Firefox; but weirdly I couldn't get thunderbird to connect to the server: so, I've just been using Virgin-media's webmail. A year or so ago, Virgin passed their email service over to Goggle: making their webmail now over-complicated and messy on the screen- with many click-buttons duplicated, and some useful functions have been removed completely. Even with the old-style appearance option; my experience is worsened. For example, if I want to "add a new contact", I now have to open another tab in the new "standard" view: there is no longer any way to do it in the preferred previous view!! I don't like the new "standard" view because over half of the screen is covered by things other than my emails! I don't want to constantly have to look at multiple search boxes; and all those repeated clickables.
    So, now I'll describe what happened when I registered for gmail: to my deepest regret!!!!! Suddenly I found my open virgin webmail page (tab) was being repeatedly HIJACKED, and taken a gmail login page. I never asked for any synchronization/amalgamation of my virgin (blueyonder.co.uk) email account and this flaming gmail account. So I closed the gmail account: because it is too much trouble for sweet f.a. in benefit! Google confirmed the gmail account is closed.
    But the same blasted thing keeps happening: my open blueyonder page disappears, and the gmail login page appears. Goggle must have installed some form of MALWARE.... IT IS HIJACKING MY FIREFOX !!!
    I have hunted all around goggle, including forums, for info on how to remove this unwanted malware. There is no info on how to remove anything goggle! There is no access route to ask actual people at goggle.
    Perhaps Firefox folk can help? Please!

    Please start by clearing your cache. [[How to clear the Firefox cache]] This will clear all old history of the page. Since Google has confirmed the account is closed but the MX records for the domain still have google servers: [http://mxtoolbox.com/SuperTool.aspx?action=mx%3ablueyonder.co.uk%29&run=toolpage] the email address will still be directed to a gmail login page. When closing a gmail account it can take up to 24 hours to fully close. Clearing the browser's cache will remove the stored local cache from the last 24 hours.
    If there is malware, or the page is being hijacked there are some recommended scanners below:
    Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.

  • Homepage keeps getting redirected to gmail login page

    i startup ff to my homepage www.google.com/ig and it keeps getting redirected to gmail login page. I unistalled most recent addon's but problem not solved. doesn't matter what version of ff i install.

    To access the iGoogle page you need to be logged on to the Google server. <br />
    You need to make sure that you keep the Google cookie(s) that identify you.
    Such details are stored in a cookie.
    * Create an allow cookie exception (Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: Exceptions) to keep such a cookie, especially for secure websites and if cookies expire when Firefox is closed.
    * In [[Private Browsing]] mode all cookies are session cookies that expire if that session is ended, so websites won't remember you.
    * Do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the "Cookies" and the "Site Preferences"

  • Gmail login crashes Safari on iPad 6.1.3

    When I login to my Gmail account Safari crashes. This started happening after my Gmail was acting up opening a photo attachment. I couldn't close it so I Cleared Cookies and Data in the Safari Settings.
    Any thoughts on fixing this?

    There isn't a way to uninstall and reinstall safari. It's part of the bundled operating system.
    With the app you use that instead of safari. Kinda like, I can use the facebook app or I can use safari to access facebook.
    There may be something with gmail and safari not playing well together.
    I know this page is older but maybe something there can help

    There is the suggestion to use mail.google.com as the address adn then remake your shortcut.

  • Droid Bionic, Stuck on too many unlock attempts gmail login screen

    My nephew was playing on my phone trying to get into it and it seems he locked me out pretty good. As far as I can figure, this is what happened. He tried to unlock it several times. He then tried the Forgot Password button. He must have tried to some incorrect emails and passwords. Then he turned it off and on, probably multiple times, and then gave it back to me.
    I turned it on, and I tried to log in a few times, but it wouldn't work. I then noticed that for some reason, it was in Airplane Mode. Then I remembered the trouble I had when I was trying to register when I got the phone, because I had the 2-step authentication turned on, and couldn't get registered. So I finally got my backup code, and was able to login to my gmail account, and turned off the 2-step authentication.
    The only problem is, now when I try to login, it still tells me Invalid Username or Password. I am wondering if that is because it is in Airplane Mode, and can't connect to Google's servers.
    What is going to be the easiest solution here, just take it in to a Verizon Wireless store, or do a hard reset?
    Thanks.

  • Gmail login error

    Hello,
    I have a really strange error on my box. It must be arch related it some way, though I don't know how :/
    For some time* my gmail was working very slowly, so were pages using google account connection. And then some day my session expired and I had to login to google. Couldn't. After I post the credentials I see a blank page with a line of text saying the page is loading and it doesn't really change.
    My ideas:
    - Broken cookies - nope (clearing private data doesn't help)
    - Browser-related - nope (same result on chromium, konqueror and elinks)
    - DNS - nope (changed to opendns/google dnses)
    - OS - yes (on windows gmail works)
    - Linux? - no (My android phone works and it uses the same wifi router)
    I've reinstalled Arch. Problem still exists. No custom iptables and other things.
    Do you have any ideas what might be going on? I don't. Looks like google just doesn't like me or there's some bug feature in archlinux base configuration that does this.
    Some more ideas need verifying in the near future:
    1. Check on Ubuntu Live
    2. Check email clients
    * It started after an update to systemd, but can't really say if it was just after that or some time later.

    If didn't worked with the arch live cd, next step is to try several other linux distros live cds and try on those.
    If it works there, then is something like a problem with the ethernet module of the arch kernel, and I can assume you use a very not common card, since there are no other complains about your problem.
    If does not work on any distro, the logical conclusion is that your ethernet device is damaged (in a very weird way, only messing google sites)... except you said using windows on the very same machine works correctly.
    If thats the case, stop using linux and return to windows to check your gmail lol

  • Why is Firefox only showing part of my Gmail login menu?

    I log into my Gmail using a nav button on FIrefox entitled 'Google Mail - Inbox'. Whether it appeared there automatically or I put it there, it has worked fine. Today, it doesn't, I instead get an odd Google menu which shows only the text of (what I assume is) my Google account. Can one attach a file with a screenshot here, can't see any attachment facility? They say it may be caused by a broken or slow browser connection, but then Google do tend to clutch at straws. I need to work out whether the problem is Google, Firefox or both.
    Can't open the 'Troubleshooting info' box below. I am on a Mac PPC G5 on Firefox 3.6.28, which Firefox keeps threatening to pull but hasn't done so yet.

    Firt try to update your firefox to 24.0 here [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/ Mozilla.org]. If you want create a screenshot see [[How do I create a screenshot of my problem?]]

  • Can't Login to YouTube on Apple TV (3rd Gen) (YT and Gmail merged)

    So, I am unable to log in to my YouTube account on my Apple TV (3rd Gen).  I have read a lot of suggestions and nothing has helped.  In like 2006 I got my YouTube User Name, then in like 2009 I got my Gmail.  Google bought YouTube, they merged so I have a YouTube UN and Gmail Account.  I've tried logging in with each.  I've tried using the the 2-step verification, and application specific password.  But to no avail, not working.  Im getting either this Username can't be used on this device for the gmail account log in info.  And unable to login with this Username/password for YouTube UN. 
    Anyone have any suggestions!  This is really frustrating! 
    Thanks Brad

    I had problems back way back in the day with my gmail login so I made a new one (youtube user) for test and that worked fine
    not even sure it's possible anymore to make a pure youtube user you can troubleshoot by checking if it is

  • Why has firefox lost my gmail sign-in on login page

    Gmail login page comes up with my children's accounts listed but not mine. I tried "add account" but it said that account already exists. I tried my google browser and the email accounts showed up and worked fine. i changed back to Firefox and only my children's accounts came up again. i am not proficient with computers, obviously.

    Hello,
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your bookmarks, history, passwords, cookies, and other essential information.
    '''''Note:''' After resetting Firefox, you will lose any extensions, toolbar customizations, and some preferences.'' See the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article for more information.
    To Reset Firefox:
    # Open the Troubleshooting Information page using one of these methods:
    #*Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Troubleshooting Information''. A new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.
    #*If you're unable to access the Help menu, type '''about:support''' in your address bar to bring up the Troubleshooting Information page.
    #At the top right corner of the page, you should see a button that says "Reset Firefox" that looks like this: [[Image:Button reset]]. Click on it.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After it is done, Firefox will show a window with the information that is imported.
    #Click Finish and Firefox will reopen.

  • I accidently hit save password on my gmail homepage and now i cannot remove my login info. i looked under firefox settings and it does not allow me to make an exception for gmail. please help!

    i hit the save password mozilla function for my gmail login page by accident. when i go under preferences, i cannot add an exception for gmail. now my login info and password are permanently displayed and i cannot undo it. the closest thing is to uncheck 'remember passwords for this site' but i do not want that because there are a lot of other sites that i want that function. when i hit 'exceptions' it has 'accounts.google.com' listed but it seems to not work for gmail and i cannot manually add an exception.

    Different dialog. Try here:
    Firefox > Preferences > Security > Saved Passwords
    Can you find it there and delete it?

  • Firefox reloads other tabs when I login and/or sign out of gmail?

    Hi,
    So, if I have many tabs opened and when I login to gmail over the "mail.google.com" site, the moment when Firefox is starting to load in the my gmail account, it starts to reload not all but many tabs, which in affect slows down drastically my gmail account loading time. Up to few minutes, depending on how many tabs are reloaded and how this sites are big of course.
    This thing started to happen since Firefox version 25, and it was not present before as I can remember.
    Since not all tabs are reloading, I belive that this has something to do with java scripts on this sites or something, so probable when gmail login/sign out triggers some script it activates all this scripts in all loaded sites in Firefox tabs that have this same script.
    You see, when you force shot down/restart Firefox, and Firefox opens again (in this case it shows all the tabs of all the pages but it doesn't load the sites up until you don't click on the tab) it does not reload this tabs on gmail login/sign out like he did before, but when you reload the sites by clicking on the tab, and they get loaded in the memory, they will start to reload again every time you login/sign out of gmail.
    Kind regards

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

  • Issues with Mail and SMTP and Gmail Accounts

    So this isn't a question....more like a solution that I had to figure out. 
    We have multiple gmail accounts in our family and after upgrading to OSC Yosemite our gmail accounts wen't haywire.  My wife was sending emails that eventually were sent from my gmail account (mass neighborhood emails at that.....and all replies came to me instead of her).  I spent about 2 hours investigating and put together several different threads that finally fixed out problem.  The root of the issue is that you can share the same Incoming Mail Server for all of your gmail accounts and your mail will go to the accounts that it is supposed to go to, but you have to have individual Outgoing Mail Servers for each of your accounts otherwise all outgoing mail will come from one account only.  I don't know why this happened, it is a pain in the butt, but here's how I fixed it with 3 gmail accounts running through 1 mac.    
    1st - you need to remove all of your gmail accounts from mail via Internet Accounts in Settings. Just highlight the account and hit the minus sign at the bottom.  You won't lose anything if you have your gmail settings set to default which backs everything up to Google's servers....it will all load back to you mac and it will all be available online at gmail.com
    2nd - you need to add back all of your accounts one at a time (and follow all of the following steps for each account before adding another).  Select the plus sign and choose Google (for gmail accounts only). 
    3rd - Give your gmail account a recognizable name in the "Name" field (if you have multiple Gmail accounts to add, you will want to distinguish between them).
    4th - type in your username ([email protected]) and password.  Make sure to add the suffix @gmail.com. 
    5th - Check the boxes that you want to add to your mac (mail, contacts, calendars, messages, notes). 
    6th - Click the "Details" button to ensure that you have an adequate description (see # 3 above) if you are going to have multiple gmail accounts to add. 
    7th - Open the Mail app.
    8th - From Mail Preferences/Account Information Tab - make sure that you account is Enabled (check box next to "Enable Account", make sure that you have an adequate description name, email address is correct, Incoming mail server is imap.gmail.com, Username is your normal gmail login username (absent any suffix like .gmail.com), password is your gmail password. 
    9th - Then, from Preferences click on the Advanced tab and....Uncheck "Automatically detect and maintain account settings".
    10th - Then, go back to Account Information Tab and.....from the Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) dropdown box, select Edit SMTP List....
    11th -  You need to create an individual SMTP Server Account for each gmail account that you plan to add.
    12th - To do this click the plus button.  Server Name should always be smtp.gmail.com.  Type in your own Description (I recommend naming it after the gmail account that you plan to attach it to). 
    13th - TLS Certificate should be "None"
    14th - Click the Advanced Tab - From here, uncheck the box for "Automatically detect and maintain account settings".  Then make sure Port is 587 (default is 25 for some ungodly reason).  Check the box for "Use SSL".
    15th - Set authentication to "Password".  User name MUST contain a suffice (i.e [email protected]).  Password is your normal gmail password. 
    16th - Click OK. 
    17th - Now your back at Preferences/Account Information - Link your account to the SMTP server that you just created by using the dropdown box next to Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP). 
    18th - Save all changes and close out of Mail App. 
    19th - Restart Mail and recheck steps 8-15....for some reason my passwords kept getting erased, but they eventually saved and took. 
    20th - Add another gmail account by following these steps and then recheck all along the way for passwords, suffixes, everything.  You will want to make sure that your accounts are all properly linked to their respective Outgoing Mail Servers (hence the distinct naming descriptions).   
    21st - Once you have added multiple accounts send email between them to make sure that they are being sent from and received to the correct accounts. 

    Wow! Oh my goodness Patrick, thank you so much man. That's a ton of informatiion to take the time to write out step by step and share with strangers.  I really, really am grateful to you.  I've been dealing with this for a month, half the month I kept changing my passwords and kept assuming I was making some mistake.  It used to work fine.  About a week ago I started looking for a solution and couldn't find one that worked. 
    You have changed that sir!  I'm good to go, stress level will lower when I am on my Mac, and I'm so glad to not have all these messages popping back up that I was done with! 
    Muchos Gracias Amigo!  Owe you one...
