Gmail Mail/Contacts/Calendar Functioning with iPhone But Not iPad

I recently purchased an iPad Mini and input my "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" settings the same exact way as they are in my iPhone...
o Exchange account
o E-mail address is "[X]@gmail.com"
o Server is "m.google.com"
o Domain is left blank
o Username is "[X]@gmail.com"
o Password is correct
o Use SSL is turned on
o S/MIME is turned off
Nevertheless, when I launch the Mail app in my iPad Mini, I get the message "Cannot Get Mail: The connection to the server failed".  Similarly, my contacts and calendar data haven't synced at all.  I'm not having this issue on my iPhone so am a bit bewildered as to why I'm encountering it on the iPad.
Anyone know what's going on here?  Thanks in advance!
Best,
Alex

Google discontinued Exchange support for free Gmail accounts as of 30 January 2013. Devices that were already set up wiht it will continue to work. However, as you've discovered, attempts to set it up on a new device will not. You will need to set up the account as a regular Gmail account.
To sync your contacts, you need to add a CardDAV account as well:

    Hello there Alex,
    Here is some good info to try and isolate what is not connecting correctly. From iOS: Unable to send or receive email found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3899.
    If you are unable to send or receive email, try the following steps:
    Restart the iOS device.
    Tap Safari and attempt to load a webpage to ensure that the device has Internet access. If you're unable to load a webpage, try the Wi-Fi assistant.
    Try an alternative Internet connection.
    If your email is provided by your Internet provider, try connecting from the home network.
    If your iOS device has an active cellular data plan, try to disable Wi-Fi:  Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn off Wi-Fi.
    If not, try a different Wi-Fi network.
    Log in to your email provider's website to ensure that the account is active and the password is correct.
    Delete the account from Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and then add the email account again on the iOS device.
    If you're still unable to send or receive email, contact your email provider and verify the account settings are correct. You will need to gather this information (PDF).
    Additional Information
    Using more than one device to check the same POP email account may create a lock-out issue that is easily resolved.
    Take care,
    Sterling

  • Exchange calendar syncs with iPhone, but not iCal

    Hi all,
    My new employer uses Outlook, and my iPhone is permitted to be setup with an account which will access email, contacts and calendars. My events from my Outlook calendar automatically appear in my iPhone calendar, but do not show up on my MBP in iCal.
    Is there a way to sync my Exchange account calendar on my iPhone with the MobileMe cloud, and have that calendar then put on my MBP?
    The employer does not yet allow us to have an exchange account on our Macs -- we have to use MS Outlook Web Access.
    Thanks,
    Boris

    Dear Ckuan,
    Thank you very much for this speedy response.  I appreciate it.
    I'm trying to avoid updating my Mac OS (I'm on 10.6.8, which doesn't support iCloud), because my MacBook is a little old. 
    If you, or anyone, can suggest a way of making the sync work via the cable connection, I'd be very grateful.
    Thanks again,
    Caroline

  • I updated to iOS5 weeks ago; but suddenly I can't open the mail, contacts, calendar settings and I am not getting any email to my iPad2 AND it keeps trying to connect and it is runnijng the battery down...any help?

    I already tried rebooting, and I tried hooking it up to itunes as well, no luck there either.

    Try to reset all settings.
    Settings > General > Reset > Reset all Settings.  It won't delete your data.
    When you say reboot, do you mean you pressed the home and sleep button at the same time until it restarted? 

  • Photos uploaded through icloud control panel are only synced with iphone but not with ipad

    Photos which are uploaded through icloud control panel are only synced with iPhone but not with iPad. Photos taken with iPhone or iPad are synced with all devices. So, why I do not get the uploaded photos from my pc to iPad? I alredy disabled photo stream on all devices - same failure

    If only one device is not getting updated data, you need to troubleshoot that device and not photostream itself.
    Verify that ipad is connected to wifi, charged over 20 percent, camera app is closed and take a photo of the screen (or anything else, but then close that camera app).
    Open photostream folder on that ipad and see if picture shows up. If you network is good, should not take long.
    Don't forget that while your phone can use wifi and cellular (even it suppose to use wifi for photostream, cellular networks got much better since original photostream was implemented) - you ipad is probably wifi only.
    If picture shows up - you ipad and photostream have no problems and you can go to other devices one by one.

  • Full Mail, Contact, Calendar synchronization with multiple devices, Possible?

    Looking for the best solution to keep my Mail, Contacts and Calendars in Sync.
    Hardware
    iMac, PC, MacBook, iPhone, iPad
    Software
    Lion, Hosted Exchange, IOS, iCloud
    I want to use Mac and my office requires a PC, whats the best way to stay in sync. Ive been partially successful at trying to sync my Hosted Exchange account with Mail, Contacts and iCal but it seems inconsistant.
    Can someone help me with the proper setting to get this to work?
    OR
    Do I need to load Outlook on my Mac and IOS devises?
    OR
    Is there another option?
    I have searched the forums and havent found a good solution detailed. Hope to correct that here.
    Thank you for your replies.

    I do this currently. If you look at my profile, you'll see my equipment. I also have a PC at work I use part time (for accounting only) set up as well.
    On the iPad and iPhone, set up your iCloud by going to Settings -> iCloud and entering your username and password. Choose to sync all.
    Set up your Hosted Exchange by going to Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Add Account... Choose Exchange as the option and enter the info.
    For iCloud on the Mac, click the Apple icon -> System Preferences -> iCloud. Then sign in.
    For Exchange on the Mac, click the Apple icon -> System Preferences -> Mail, Contacts, & Calendars -> Microsoft Exchange and enter the info.
    For iCloud on the PC, you must be running Outlook 2007 or 2010 and have downloaded the iCloud Control Panel. Sign in and choose to sync with Outlook.
    For Exchange on the PC, use Outlook. Add the account...

  • Just bought an Epson 2540 Printer, connects with iPhone but not Macbook Pro

    I am able to print from my iPhone but not my Macbook Pro. Wireless test page worked fine. Turned on Sharing option, turned off firewall, and still does not connect. This is very frustrating, please help

    You may have to visit the Epson website and make sure your printer has drivers updated for Mavericks:

    Updating the drivers through this link should fix your issue. Post if there's any problem.

  • I can't enter gmail. The error 'The page isn't redirecting properly' shows up. I can access gmail on my phone and with IE, but not firefox.

    I've tried to clear the cache and delete the cookies from gmail, but neither has worked. I can access gmail from my phone and through IE but not firefox. I also use the gmail gadget on my igoogle page and it does not work either.

    Top of your browser click on Firefox, select Options
    Select "Use Custom Setting for History"
    Then click show cookies, then remove All Cookies
    Close browser and restart, should work nicely
    Simple fix (cause of the problem, since you select copy Cookies and History, Favs from Explorer they are clearly not compatible, so that is why you get the error)
    Firefox guys need to fix this is serious challenge for new users.

  • I have air printer that works on iPhones but not iPad 2

    I have air printer that works with both iPhones but not with iPad2

    Just to build on red_menace's answer a bit...
    set MyText to do shell script "ps -A | grep '[M]ac VNC 2.1.app' | awk '{print $5}'"
    log "MyText=" & MyText
    set content of text field "Dir" of front window to MyText
    The log command will write the results of the "do shell script" to Xcode's run log window. If you see the correct output there then you know that part is working correctly and the problem is in the way you're trying to insert the string into the text field. Maybe "Dir" doesn't match the name you've given your text field in IB? Or maybe your text field is contained within another view, such as an NSBox or an NSTabView?
    Also, I guess "of front window" should work in AppleScript Studio but I always give my windows AppleScript names in IB and then explicitly specify the window in my scripts. Like this:
    set content of text field "Dir" of window "MyWindow" to MyText

  • Problems syncing Outlook contacts, calendar etc with IPHONE?

    After trying many options to fix this problem, the following was determined: If you were previously using another type of PDA/Smartphone with Outlook, your IPHONE may not properly sync your calendar, contacts, etc. For whatever reason, there is a conflict. SOLUTION: you need to save/export your contact/calendar info, then completely delete everything out of Outlook, then import back in. I wasnt able to do this w/2007, instead I exported and then made a new user profile (on my computer) and then dragged my saved files there. A minor pain in the a$$, but oh well. Thought I would pass this along, as it has to ******* someone else off as well! Good luck!

    I thought I read somewhere that you had to make sure there were no other PDA plugins in Options>Other>Advanced options>COM Add-ins. I think if there is another plugin for a device other than the iPhone, it has problems.

  • Contacts appearing twice on iPhone but not on iMac

    When I update my contacts on my iPhone 4S (with iCloud), the contacts appear twice (the same doesn't happen on my iMac). If I try to delete one contacts, it deletes both... The same happens also to the groups.
    Can anyone help? I guess it must be something to do with syncing, but I don't know how to sort it.
    Thanks!

    Go to Settings>Mail, etc>iCloud>Delete account.  It'll ask you if you want to keep Contacts, stored on your iPhone. Say no, then reinstate your iCloud account.
    That should sort it out.

    BOB we need you urgently
    Perhaps Bob will see this thread, he is the professor in these cases.
    You do not use a WEP password but wpa/wpa2 on router and equipment.
    All equipment connects to WiFi, but for your iPad.
    Even with all other equipment WiFi off, you cannot connect your iPad.
    Your iPad connects to other WiFi nets correctly.
    All resets etc done on iPad and Router.
    Still I am not sure it is your router for sure, frustrating...
    I want to test 2 other things:
    1. in your iPad, set everything OFF in Settings/Cellular, turn off/then/on your WiFi, and see whether it will still not connect...
    2. If that does not do it: disconnect the router as well as the modem from the power, for 15 seconds, then reconnect the modem, let it fully start, then reconnect the routet let it fully start, turn of your WiFi in iPad, then on, and see whether it will connect.
