Having problem with gmail.

When I go to the main screen on my i Pad and tap on the mail envelope icon all i get is a gray screen and nothing else, Ok , then I go back the the main screen and tap on the gmail app I get a screen that shows in coming mail and such but I open it and when I click on the create mail icon all I get is a half screen and a cursor blinking when I type something to send I can't see what I am typing because it don't show on the screen, but the mail goes through because I sent it to my other email address. Now, if I scroll down and click on the gmail html in blue and the bottom of the screen , it takes me to the gmail screen and it looks decent and I can do the mail thing, but why do I have to go through all that to get the gmail screen? It is driving me crazy.I wonder what would happen if I delete the gmail app and go through the I pad settings .

Which GMail app? None is put out by Apple or Google so there are lots of options. Google provides two officially supported options, gmail.com in safari (which works great but no push email or offline access of course), and Google sync to use the built in mail app (provides push and offline, but not multi labels and the great search. Make sure you setup gmail as an exchange account).
You are not limited to one or the other, I use the sync most times and head to the webapp for search and multi labels if I need to.
If you are set on using a dedicated app, you should contact support for the app (look in the app store on the ipad and click the support button)

Having problem with gmail smtp server. Since going to google 2-step, and entering 16-digit code in gmail account, I can receive mail on my iMac, but cannot send. What do I do?

Having problem with gmail smtp outgoing server. Since going to google 2-step, and entering 16-digit code in gmail account, I can receive mail on my iMac, but cannot send. I keep getting an error message that Mail "Cannot send message using Gmail (my assigned name) server." What do I do?

You might also try removing all gmail passwords from your keychain in Keychain Access. Then connect again and enter the password code given by Google.

Anyone else having problems with Gmail push?

For about the last 10 days it has been sporadic at best and at times, like right now, it won't even load new messages I know are there using the reload button.
I've tried deleting and re-inputting the account but it doesn't help. And the new OS update didn't change anything either.
Next step would be a full restore but I thought I'd check and see if others were having the same problem - maybe it's just been overloaded.

If you create a Gmail account with the preset configuration you won't be able to "push" and this is a fact. What you should do is create an exchange account, irrespective of your present configuration (i.e. pop3 or imapi), the instructions are here:http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=138740. If you can't make it, just ring back I'll be more than glad to give you a (virtual) hand

I'm having problems with Gmail. Nothing happens when I click the settings button, and Gmail often fails to recognize when the checkbox next to an email is selected. What's up?

When I render the page in Internet Explorer using IE Tab Plus everything works just fine.

Nevermind...just had to do a full reinstall. That means going to firefox folder on my computer, running helper.exe from the uninstall folder, and unchecking the box that lets you save your themes, addons, bookmarks, etc. The reinstalled version works perfectly. Now I just have to find all those addons again...

Problem with gmail account on iPhone

I didn't know if anyone else is having problems with gmail or not. I have other accounts setup on iPhone, and I'm not having any problems with them. When I try to access my gmail my phone is freezing up. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8725114&#8725114
I periodically get a freeze of either my iPhone or VZW Treo when it hangs getting Gmail. Most of the time, it works without a hitch - other times, access to Gmail is a PITA, and once in a while, it's hanging my phones up.
I've had Gmail go sideways on me a few times, buddies of mine say they're having no problems at the same time. Once in awhile, they'll call me to ask if I'm having problems (I'm not) but they can't get their messages for hours. Go figure. YMMV.

I have an Ipad 2 and are having problems sending out emails in one of my email address. I always get a message reading the email was not sent because the server does not allow relaying. This is an email account POP3. I have no such problem with gmail.

Welcome to the Apple community.
If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

Having problem with receiving gmail message in my appropriate email folders.

Hello,
I am new to this forum and I have a question.
Yesterday I was having problems with my BB Torch, the touchpad was doing funny things like jumping lines etc.
So, I did a force restart, (remove battery for a minute).
After I did that, all my gmail emails disappeared from the appropriate gmail icons. I have 2 gmails setup and none of the messages are there.
They are still coming under the general MESSAGES folder where I can retrieve them but nothing under the gmail icons.
Is there any way to fix it?
I was really happy with the separate gmail folders and everything worked fine until now.
Just FYI... I did an update to the Blackberry software couple weeks ago but still everything worked fine even after.
Can somebody help me to fix this?
I even deleted the gmails and reset them again through the BB Setup.
It still says, "No messages".
Thank you

Hi zuzikfuzik,
Welcome to the Support Community!
Sounds like you may have an issue with your Messages database. Please try clearing the Messages database then test with new messages only, without restoring the previous messages from backup. For further instructions, please see the following KB article: "How to clear the user content databases from the BlackBerry smartphone" http://bbry.lv/JtQKcw
Hope this helps.

Problems with gmail calendar...

I'm having problems with adding/deleting appointments on my calendar on an iPhone4. If I delete they reappear 5 seconds later and new appointments disappear when I come out of the calendar and go back in. I'm using a gmail calendar. I've tried various iCloud options but nothing seems to work. Can anyone help please?

For users having problems with Mail functionality...

Hello! I have been having problems with Mail functionality as well, so, I took a few steps to see if I could solve the problem on my own.
My problems were:
Mail would freeze when sending mail, or, when I pressed quit, it would freeze.
If I toggled between inboxes too much it would freeze up.
Even after trying the many techniques others offered on this board, Mail still froze up. So.. here's what I did:
1.) Turn off the auto-retrieve mail function in the preferences/general menu. Set it to a manual check. Just check it yourself every once in awhile. It may not be as convenient, but it works, trust me.
2.) Under the fonts and colors menu, set all three fonts to the SAME font (mines Century Schoolbook, but anything works) and turn off fixed-width font. Sometimes mail has a tough time decoding and working with texts, and causes it to freeze.
3.) Clean our your main inbox! Place the emails that you want to keep, but don't need to be in your inbox in a new folder on your inbox bar (mines aptly named 'Saved Messages.' That way, when you open up Mail to your default account, it doesn't have 1,000+ messages to index. Also, try to keep the inboxes from having more than 100-200 messages per. It seems to frown on any more than that.
After trying these three easy, steps, restart mail and see if things run smoother. I have had no problems since these changes, and mail runs a ton better. Plus you don't have to worry about deleting your library/mail folder anymore. Let me know if things work out so I can see if my theory is a universally proven thing. Thanks and good luck!

Good question. I have worked very little with IMAP other than as a testing device, so, on a daily routine I cannot say how it would function. However, I can only expect that by having the option to download all emails for offline viewing selected, you are right in it being a lag creator. Another suggestion would be, if you are running a single-computer setup, to have the account delete emails from the server after recieving them on your computer. Thus, you reduce the risk of repeat downloads or unnecessary build-up on the server end. DO NOT select this option if you run multiple computer set ups on one AppleMail account system or you will cause some discrepancies and/or data loss from system to system. Or, if you have emails redirected from a seperate server to Mail (i.e. I redirect mail from my university email account into Mail so that I don't have to go to the web-mail site to check it--> just like Gmail or Yahoo etc etc) you won't be able to check them from the web-based email system if you have the system delete them. Ok that sounded confusing. Solution: have the system remove emails from the server after a week (or any period of time, just not immediately) so that, in the off-chance you need to use the online system, you will have access, and will give you a chance to check the emails on other systems without a threat of data corruption (by corruption i mean that frustrating feeling you get when you can't find that super important email that was in your inbox just 10 seconds ago on your desktop etc.)
I will see if I can learn anything more about IMAP Ernie. Its definitley the biggest problem source for Mail, POP and .Mac being simple and functional as long as you don't play with the settings too much. As far as the issue of Offline viewing goes, try turning it off and seeing how Mail functions.
BEFORE you turn it off, however, I recommend saving all of your emails in your inbox as a text file or something so, in case the server burps and has a brain flatuence, you don't lose anything. Been there, done that, thrown the books against the wall in a frustrated rage.
My only reserve about the Offline Viewing is whether or not Mail will, when you click "recieve mail," have to re-download the emails from the server each time. If so, then it may end up taking longer and lagging more. The issue here is obviously minimizing the amount of activity between Mail and the email server without jeapordizing information on the server or multiple Mail programs on the same account. When we can find that balance, I think Mail's potential will be realized. Keep the questions coming.

Sorry for the late reply. My email firewall has become a little over zealous & sent a lot of my emails straight to my junk email folder, so I have only just now discovered your reply in my junk mail folder.
The only "don't open files exceeding xxx megabytes" instruction I can find in my Prefs, is in the Bridge Prefs for Thumbnails, & mine is set at 1000mb. The biggest files I handle are bigger than 200mb so I should be able to open a few, not just one.
However, this doesn't explain why I can open a psd format file of 180mb, close it, but then can't open a RAW format file of only 26mb immediately after.
I can open the RAW file only if I restart my computer - very annoying!
However, thanks for the advice about the video card & memory.
So, I'm still stuck as to what the issue is.

Is anyone having problems with the battery heating up and draining the power? Mine has been doing this for about 2 months now.

This is a major problem with Lollipop, but yo said it started 2 months ago. Several people have fixed problem by removing FaceBook And Face book messenger and then re loading the apps again. You might want to clear your cache before reloading. Not sure this is your problem, but worth a try. Good Luck

HT1657 I am having problems with sound in my rental movies

We rent movies all the time but lately we are having problems with sound for our movie rentals. We watch the first half hour without a problem than the voice is choppy all the time. Sometimes it is good for five minutes than noting for a while. We have tried everything we could think of with no avail. I could see one movie but the last 5 or so have been the same. Done trying we need to fix this! Help! Any ideas?

First try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears. Try again to see if the problem persists.
If you still have the same issue, it's possible that something is lodged in the earphone jack. This can cause the iPad to think earphones are plugged in when they are not. Use a vacuum to try to suck any dust, lint or other foreign matter from the jack. If that still doesn't work, try CAREULLY using a toothpick.

You should be able to use the battery if you get a car type charger which recharges mobile devices.
The full size iPads use a 10-12W charger, whereas the mini uses a 5W charger. Many car chargers only supply 5W. But at 5W, the car charger should give you some extra time on your iPad. It would be best to use a 10-12W car charger.
