Google "Password Missing" problem on new iPhone 5 (2 step verification)

i have a new iphone 5 that i just activated after having an iphone 4 that i just turned off.
i keep getting a "Password Missing" prompt after entering what i /think/ is my google password for my GMAIL account.
however, having activated google's 2 step verification process i am a bit confused as to what the password actually is. does anyone understand this or how i am supposed to recover my password. i have "backup verification codes" in my wallet but i /think/ these are for my computers i guess?
ALSO, i tried to reset my password for google on the web - but when i enter this NEW password it still does not take on my iphone.
anyone know how to figure out what password to enter on my iphone to get google mail?
THANKS

ok. i keep doing this and missing this section of this process.
you have to go to the Application Specific password section which will generate a 16 digit code that you have to enter instead of your actual google password.
not quite sure what those backup passwords are for though...

I am facing a strange problem on new iphone 5 that I bought last week. The maps app and the places in photo gallery shows the pin and my location, however there is no information of locations. Tried to close the apps, phone restart, reset etc. I am accessing it via strong wireless connection and it works fine on other devices. Please help.

Mail exchange problem with new iphone

My home button stopped working so I went to the store and got myself a new iphone under warranty (Thanks apple).
It is running version 4.3.4
Anyhow, when I got home and restore from backup, everything works beautifully. However, the only problem is that I can't sync my hotmail using exchange. My Gmail is set under exchange as well and it works fine.
I have tried the following but it didn't work
==============================
I deleted and re-entered the account info, though everything are 100% correct, I still getting the "Unable to verify account info.". If I save the profile and open "mail" the message "Cannot Get Mail" would pop up
Re-formating the phone doesn't work either
I installed EAS Default task timeout profile, which I found online and it didn't work either
Any help would be appreciated, thanks

Basic troubleshooting from the manual is:
Restart
Reset
Restore

You can make an appointment with the Genius Bar if you have tried these and they have not worked. If they determine your iphone to be defective, they will replace.

Problems syncing new iphone 5

I bought a new iphone 5 today. I made sure I had the latest version of itunes on my pc but am unable to sync it. I don't receive any error messages as such it just acts as though it's preparing to sync then doesn't actually do anything. I've tried restarting the computer and phone. I've also run a diagnositcs test in itunes and all seems to be working correctly. This is driving me crazy and I'd really appreciate any help or pointers! Thanks so much.

Problems with New iPhone connecting to wireless at home

Hi everyone,
just got back from the Apple store in Bristol ( UK ) where I had my 'old' iPhone exchanged for a New one because of some problems.
Anyway I get home and I am 'trying' to get my iPhone on to my home wireless ( which is protected so have to 'add' the phone to the accept list ), the problem is when I try to add the iPhone I keep getting a 'error' message telling me that the "MAC" address ( from the phone ) is not a MAC address.
I know where to look - 'About' - 'Wi-Fi Address and there is the Mac address ( 14:8F:C6:D9:9B:6D ) , so does anyone know what I am missing or doing wrong !!
I had no problem adding my 'Old' iPhone or anything else, iPads ( one a friends for when they visit ), iTouch, Macbook ect ;-(
Not happy at the moment.

Apple id/password not recognised on new iphone

My dad has been trying to set up his first iphone and it asks for his Apple id and password but each time he enters it it says its incorrect.
We've been onto itunes on his computer and the password and id are accepted but it then asks him to complete some new security information (address, phone numbers etc). We do this and nothing happens. Can anyone tell me what's going on?

Thanks for the replies.
hes had the account a while. Never really used it though
I'll get him to give apple a call and see where we go from there
thanks again!

Problems with new iPhone

Hi, I hope someone can help.
SO I finally bought an iphone on pay as you go. Set it up including syncing eMail and Calendar from Google through the Microsoft Exchange settings following googles intructions.
I then switch the phone off, using the red slider. When I switch it on in the morning it takes ages at teh apple logo and then tells me I need to plug it into iTunes. The phone has been activated.
I got home plugged it in and it all started working fine. Then when I powered off again over night the same thing happened but this time when connecting to itunes I am told itunes cannot connect to any content on the iphone and a factory restore is required.
Selecting to continue with this, it down loads the latest software and then starts preparing the iphone for restore before erroring saying iphone could not be restored unknown error (1602)
Please help I have only had the phone 48 hours and am not happy!

About the freezing, When i first bought my iphone when they came out I got a phone that after going to sleep or idle it would just freeze and i would have to hard boot the phone to come back up. I took it back to the store and they gave me a brand new phone. It was within the first 2 weeks that i purchased it. If your after your 2 weeks i think they will make you send it back to them so that they could look at it and repair it.

HT201269 Problems with new iphone

Hi, I've recently upgraded to an iphone 5s. It has the latest software and I have just installed the latest itunes. However, when i try to sync the new phone it says "This iphone cannot be used becasue the required software is not installed. Run the itunes installer to remove itunes then install itunes again". Can anyone explain this as I have the latest software on both!

Where are you seeing this message, on the phone or the computer? See this support document about removing and reinstalliing iTunes on a Windows computer. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
Follow those instructions completely, as doing it a different way could prove to create more problems. After that, try the sync process again.

I thought I could pick the info on my itunes in computer but apparently the update broke the itunes program as well: it says that some elemets are missing... does someone have an idea??? THANKS SOOO MUCH!

Contacts and calendar events aren't backed up? That's a complete load of hokey. They are backed up, and I ran into a similar problem and recovered them FROM the backup. Here's my post:

Problem recovering new iPhone 4, Stuck on "Preparing iphone for restore", then giving an error message

I recently bought an iPhone 4, and it worked just fine, until I tried to sync it with iTunes. Whenever I would try to sync it, it would stall somewhere in the process, and then an error message would come up eventually. It would say something along the lines of "Process timed out, Internal Harware error" or somthing like that, there were several error messages.
So then I tried to restore the phone. I did it through iTunes, and eventually the process stalled on the "Preparing iPhone for restore" part, and then it would give me an error message (4013). My phone is stuck on the connect to itunes screen. When I do connect it to iTunes it says that the phone is in recorvery mode and that and needs to be restored. So again, I try to restore it and it gets stalled in the "Preparing iPhone for restore" part. I have also recieved the 2005 error code. I have tried to fix it by unplugging all other USB's, using a different USB port, disabling firewalls ect.. I have the newest version of iTunes, and my phone is running 7.0.3 (Can't update now that the restore is necessary, and I couldn't update anyways because the same problem I had syncing it occured when I tried to update.) I have Windows XP.

Error 1 is a baseband error. If you have Warranty or AppleCare Coverage take iPhone to Apple for resolution of this problem. If no coverage then search the Web for Error 1. Users have reported some success with this Error 1.
