Gmail Password Changed: Mail cannot sync

Hello the community,
I will submit a question that I have seen around, but not any solutions were working for me until now.
So to start I am under Lion Montain 10.8.2 and Mail 6.2.
Recently I decided to change all my passwords. So I did it with gmail online. Everything works perfectly there. I have logged and un-logged manytimes with the new password.
But when I decided to synchronize with Mail, the new password was not working.
I read later that my Keychain Access needed some modifications. I tried so to repair the password on SMTP and IMAP, and even deleted them, with restart after... Nothing is working.
It is actualy the same issue on my iPad and iPhone... I cannot change it
So would anyone have a solution and maybe an explanation, why we have to face so much trouble for changing a password?
PS: Sorry for my English, I am not native.

Apple recently had to pull 10.8.2 due to problems with Keychain Access. Some of these issues were solved with the supplemental update that came along after the pull...

I get an Internal LR/Gmail error "Couldn't get 'My Contacts' group id". Could this be due to a Gmail password change and if so how do I rectify it?

Rodger,
Thank you for your gracious welcome . . .
and thank you for your swift response . . .
and thank you for your information (and encouragement!).
Yes, I read that too, but searched in vain for the specifity of, say, your direction:
"Go ahead and update to 8.0.2, as it contains the 8.0.1 update."
So I shall!
Again, many thanks.

I have had to change my email password on my google gmail account. How do i now change the log on information in the phone without doing a hardset and starting all over?

@sundeelue, Try this out:
Tap Menu--> Settings--> Accounts & Sync
Tap Google and then tap the Sync Now button.
It should prompt you to update the password.
Hope this helps!

HT1212 it does not give me the option to input a password so i cannot sync with itunes,anybody have a solution?

Ipod is disabled and asks for a password to connect to itunes, but does not give me the option to input a password.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

After password changed, Gmail is not working on iPad mail apps.

After Gmail password changed, iPad mail app's not working.
I changed password on ipad setting too.
But its showed ' Theuser name or password for "Gmail" is incorrect. '
I can use Gmail from safari.
Why?

Try this. Even if the outgoing primary server states that the username and password are optional, fill them in anyway.
Try going into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > select the account > account name , tap on SMTP (under the 'Outgoing Mail Server' heading) and then tap on your Primary Server and try entering your email account and password and see if you can then send emails.

Apple Mail won't take Gmail password

Okay, this is driving me insane...
New MacBook Pro, mail won't take my Gmail password, changed password, no avail. Fine, I'll use the web based. New iPhone 5. Mail won't take password. Grrr. Any help? There were a couple of posts about application specific passwords and clearing captcha, but I'm not running a google app account.

TS1627 Mail on iPad is stuck. Cannot sync or evenrevert to resolve problem.

1. Mail on iPad2 is stuck, really stuck, for days. Cannot sync or even 'revert' to resolve problem. Error message on iMac insists mail is in use.
How can I get it out of use?
2. Mail on iMac OSX 10.5.8 is missing from applications file, although it remains in the dock and I can launch and use it normally.
Finder is unable to locate it.
Tried Apple support, but nothing available to restore mail app. Possibly, this is reason mail cannot sync with iPad2?
3. In separate issue, I downloaded update for wife's newer iMac OS X 10.6 machine. Immediately, download created a problem for Mail 4.5 on her machine.
Error message complained that Mail 4.5 was (no longer) compatible with this computer. Seemed impossible.
Tried Apple support, but nothing available to restore mail app.
Blogger indicated file to download and that appeared to install (or activate) Mail 4.6.
Mail service was restored, but it has a number of problems problems. For one, it does not open certain emails, but gives the last message viewed.
Has anyone had this experience? If so, can it be resolved?
We have happily used Apple Mail for years and are surprised to encounter so many diverse difficulties at one time.
As usual, I assume that the fault lies with my ignorance and mismanagement.
I have recently purchased and installed a new (Netgear) modem. Mail has worked on all devices prior to this breakdown.
Thanks for helping the handicapped.

Good stuff...
For any other applications you may have trouble with... running in Vista Compatibility mode is done by locating the programs installation directory and then locating the .exe file in your system...then right click on that .exe and a window will appear...goto the compatibility tab and then choose either XP or Vista as the compatibility mode...

I changed my gmail password after suspicious activity was detected. It works fine on my computer but my iphone 5 doesn't recognize my new password ("cannot get mail" message). I've tried changing my phone settings to the new password, but no good.

Hello there dinadinadina,
It sounds like you have modified the password settings for your Gmail account after changing the password. Thats where I would have started too. Next I would restart the device and test it one more time, and then remove and add the account again in Settings:
Get help with Mail on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
Restart your iOS device.
Delete the affected email account from your device.
Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Tap the affected email account.
Tap Delete Account.
Add your account again.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

So iCal won't sync now as I've had to change my gmail password. Anyone figured out how to fix this?

Yes, I go to Settings>Mail>Gmail. I've deleted the old Gmail account and added it back with the new password. I've also deleted the account, shut down the iPad and iPhone and then re-add the Gmail account with the new password and it still doesn't work for either device. The error messages I get are:
For the iPad: Cannot Connect Using SSL
For the iPhone: The user name or password for "imap.gmail.com" is incorrect.

Changed gmail password, can't access mail

I'm getting an error message, "username and/or password incorrect". I changed the password in the iphone settings for mail, and that didn't help. I then deleted the account and added it as a new account and that didn't help. I turned my phone and back on three different times, and that didn't help. Any suggestions?
Thank you,

TS3276 changing gmail password in Apple mail

I would like to change my gmail password in Apple mail. I was able to chage the gmail password on the goggle web site but it the same password was not accepted in Apple Mail.

Problem solved, I deleted the 2 step verification in google and my password was accepted in Apple mail.
NOW
When I installed the last mailbox, I noted a lot of "Mail Activity" and several hundred messages were incoming. In my mailboxes, I see the names of the mailboxes but there is no numbers next to them indicating the number of emails in the box. I also see that there are about 200 junk emails, several of then are not junk
Any suggestions. Hopefully the screen shot comes thru

You will need to delete the account from your iPad and then sign in using your updated details.
To delete the account go to Settings>iCloud, scroll down and then select "Delete Account".
On a PC sign out and back into the iCloud control panel.

I can sync with my outlook calendar, but cannot sync with contacts or e-mail.

I can sync with my outlook calendar, but cannot sync with contacts or e-mail. When I click on Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars it doesn't open and reverts to the home page. When I try to open Mail I get an error message saying "Cannot get mail. The user name or password for Gmail is incorrect". If I press "settings" it reverts to home page. I was revised to restore settings which I have now done, but the problem has not been resolved. Can anyone help?
i do have a gmail account and may have used this when I first set up itunes/ipad (I'm new to Apple). However, I want to synchronize with my Microsoft Exchange account.

It may be a bit late for your needs, but there's a sync product for Outlook (an add-in) that will sync public and private folders/calendars. Once you have your items in a mailbox folder, the regular ios sync will bring it to your device. It's called Add2Outlook, it's made by DidItBetter.com Software.
It syncs private and public, mailboxes and folders in any direction. One-way, two-way, read-only or writable. It also works with Office 365 and hosted exchange providers, if that's your situation. It works for calendars, contacts, tasks, email, whatever. It can even sync to PST or between two different Exchange servers.
It installs on your workstation, not on the Exchange server.
