How do I set up gmail in the ipad Air mail application?

I follow the steps to the point where I "Add account".  Then i select Google.  I then enter my email address and password and the iPad verifies the info that I have entered.  Then I have to save the settings and the "Adding account".  The little rotating "hourglass" comes up next to "Adding account" and thats as far as it gets.  It is like a freeze. I left it overnight and it is still adding the account?  Please help!!

No you don't have to add a phone number to the iPad. You should receive his messages on your iPad by  using your Apple ID email address as the address at which you can be reached for Messages.
Did you set up Messages on your iPad correctly?

  • Hey anyone know of a way to set up gmail on the iPad or iPhone that it only sends mail but does not receive

    Hey please let me know if you know about this

    Shlomo-
    My Usenet Newsreader program (MT-Newswatcher) has a mail client capable of sending messages through my mail account, but is not capable of receiving mail as far as I can tell.  However my mail account does receive mail.  If there is an mail account not capable of receiving mail, I don't think Gmail is it.  But that doesn't mean you have to read it or download it to your computer.
    My incoming mail resides on an AOL server.  My old AOL mail client only shows basic information like title, date received and who it is from.  The mail is not actually downloaded to my computer until I open it.
    Other mail clients such as AOL Desktop and the iPad mail App, do download the mail to your computer or iPad, whether you read it or not.  So the answer to your question may depend on your mail client and how you define "does not receive"!

  • How do I set up two accounts with two separate mail applications?

    My wife and I have two separate email accounts. At home she gets her mail on her computer and mine on my computer. While traveling I would like to be able to allow her to get her email on my laptop. I set up the 2nd account and activated it but her email comes in mixed with mine. How can I set up a separate mail program for her account?
    Thanks in Advance,
    Jim Conrad

    Hello Jim.
    As already provided, open Inbox to reveal the Inbox for each account. Selecting an account's Inbox mailbox reveals messages received by that account only in the message list. Selecting Inbox reveals a "blended" Inbox mailbox for all accounts.
    The same applies to Drafts, Sent, Trash and Junk in the mailboxes drawer.
    If you want these accounts to be truly separate, create a login account on your iBook for your wife - with or without admin privileges. Your wife can create her email account only in Mail under her login account and you can delete her account from Mail under your login account.
    This way, each others' email accounts are kept completely separate along with all other data in each other's Home folder/directory. OS X was designed for multiple users in this way.
    You can enable Fast User Switching which makes the process of switching between multiple login accounts a fast and easy process.
    There are some families with 4 or more family members that use a single Mac in this way. Each login account can have their own Desktop background and settings, etc., etc. so when logging in to their account the Mac seems like it is theirs only.
    This link focuses on setting up separate user login accounts for kids but the effect is the same.

  • How do I set my Gmail beside the tab ?

    I want to set my frequently used site to the left side of the tabs, how do I do that ?

    there is currently no support for syncing your google contacts or google calendar, unless you port them though iCal or Address Book which you can now do in Leopards latest update. You could try that, you should find the option for the address book in its preferences and the calendar under accounts.

  • How do I set up Safari on my iPad Mini to connect to a specific website on Safari start up ?

    On a pc or mac you can set up the browser so it connects to a website such as your Internet provider's website when you open up the browser. How do you set up Safari on the iPad Mini to do that ?

    ......forget that, I have just seen Add to Home Screen is an option in the Bookmarks list.

  • How do I set the "reply to" field in the iPad 2 Mail app?  I use an email forwarding service (not an actual email account) that I would like people to reply to.

    How do I set the "reply to" field in the iPad 2 Mail app?  I use an email forwarding service (not an actual email account) that I would like people to reply to, so setting up an account with the correct reply-to address doesn't work because there's no associated outgoing mail server.  I had this working under iOS4 but it seems to have disappeared when I upgraded to iOS5.

    Welcome to the forum, NicoleYM. I don't think the Touch Mail has as many options as the Mac Mail app. However, you could set a standard signature. Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Signature. There you can type a reply address and hope people see it.
    Alternatively, you can go to your GMail account in your web browser and click on Settings > Forwarding and POP/IMAP. There you will have an option to forward all emails (or only some, if you set up a filter) to your other address.
    Good luck!

  • How do I set a reminder for the last day of every month

    Have I missed something? But how do you set a reminder for the last day of every month to recurr indefinatley in iOS6? Sorry if this is really simple but I just can't seem to work it out. Any help gratefully received.

    Hey Mattye88 not sure if you have seen but actully you can do this, but for some reason you have to use Siri.  If you bring up Siri and say "set a reminder ever 4 weeks from next wednesday to check the gas meter" it will set one and it will work just fine, I have reminders to water a Bonsai every three days and it works fine it just shows as custom repeat on the user interface.  Alas it seems you can not use Siri to set one for the end of the month though which is why I am in this threed.  Still hope it helps you to know how to sort this problem atleast.

  • How do I set a variable on the main timeline from within a symbol?

    Just getting started with Animate and coming to it from Flash, as may be apparent from my question. How do you set a variable to the main timeline from within a symbol?
    I have 24 pairs of clickable elements, each in their own symbols, and all 24 of those symbols sit inside another symbol. I want all 24 to be able to set the same global variable when clicked. I can't find that this question is addressed anywhere, which makes me think I may be stuck in a Flash mindset and approaching the task in the wrong way. (There are however MANY discussions of how to address objects at different levels in the hierarchy. That's well covered.)
    Relatedly, how do you access a function on the main timeline from within a symbol?
    Adobe should consider putting together a support page (or pages) just for folks migrating form Flash. In the materials I've encountered so far there seems to be a studied effort to refrain from mentioning Flash in any way. I imagine there are a lot of people out there like me who have a deep background in Flash coding, but are just getting started with Animate. We don't need help with most of the basic concepts, but we may still have some pretty basic questions about how to accomplish some things in Animate because our Flash knowledge is getting in the way.

    Hi Bill,
    There are plenty of threads on here about scope, but here's one way to create a global variable:
    // code on Stage.compositionReady
    sym.myGlobalVar = 1;
    Then, anywhere in your project, you can check/set that var like so:
    sym.getComposition().getStage().myGlobalVar = 2;
    And here's one way to create a global function:
    // code on Stage.compositionReady
    sym.myGlobalFunction = function(){
              console.log('myGlobalFunction');
    Then, anywhere in your project, you can call that function like so:
    sym.getComposition().getStage().myGlobalFunction();

  • How do I set Preview to be the PDF defult reader?

    How do I set Preview to be the PDF defult reader?

    Thanks T P I got this from your search:  http://osxdaily.com/2011/10/31/set-default-pdf-viewer-mac-os-x/
    for others here is the answer.
    If you’ve downloaded Adobe Acrobat on the Mac you’ve probably discovered that it takes overPreview as the default PDF viewer in OS X, which is annoying because Acrobat is slow to load and a fairly bloated application. There’s little need to use Acrobat Reader as the way to view PDF files, so here’s how to change it back to Preview.
    Change the Default PDF Viewer in Mac OS X
    From the Mac OS X desktop, find a PDF file and hit Command+i to “Get Info” on the file
    Click on the arrow next to “Open with:” to expand and access the default application list
    Click the pull-down menu and choose “Preview” from the list, or if it’s not visible, navigate to it by choosing “Other”
    With Preview.app selected, click on the “Change All” button
    This will restore the leaner and very capable Preview app as the default PDF viewer in OS X and prevent the lengthy launch of Acrobat anytime a PDF is opened. This tip will be of less use if you need the full functioned Acrobat version, but for the average person just looking to quickly open pdf docs this can be a significant time saver.
    If you want a quick PDF file to use for this tip, you can grab the Apple history book “The Macintosh Way” for free (direct PDF link).
