Hey AvaLondon,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues setting up your Mail account on an iPhone 5. The following resource may provide a solution:
iOS: Gmail account will not connect to Gmail server
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3058
Resolution
1. Check that your device is connected to the Internet by opening Safari and loading a webpage, such as google.com. If you cannot connect to the Internet, try the steps in this article.
2. If you have other email accounts on the device, check if those accounts can send and receive email.
3. If the issue is isolated only to the affected Gmail account, visit this website: https://www.google.com/accounts/DisplayUnlockCaptcha.
Complete the form to unlock the account.
4. If the issue persists, follow this Google support article.
5. Once the account has been unlocked, or the correct password entered, check that the issue is resolved. If not, remove the affected Gmail account from the device and add it to the device again: Settings > Mail, Contacts and Calendars > Add Account > Gmail.
Thanks,
Matt M.

How to set a new email account for iCloud?

How set a new email account for iCloud?

There are two separate things you can do.
You can add up to three 'email aliases' - these are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main account. (In fact it's a good idea to give out alias addresses, rather than the main address, because if they attract spam you can easily change them.) (New aliases can only be @icloud.com ones; @me.com addresses cannot now be created.)
You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account or move it to another account, and if it has @mac.com or @me.com versions these cannot be reinstated once deleted.
More information on aliases here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a490a
Or if you want a completely separate account you will have to create a new iCloud account and sign into it in System Preferences>Mail, Contacts and Calendars. Note that any one device can create only three iCloud accounts.

yes. delete that account and recreate it as an imap account (gmail allows both). when creating the account using the account wizard uncheck the box to set it up automatically. This checkbox creates a POP account and you want imap.

I am writing to report a software incompatibilitiy between Mail and Gmail accounts with 2-step verification enabled.
http://support.google.com/accounts/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=180744
Gmail provides application specific passwords for these circumstances but those aren't working for me with Mail:
http://support.google.com/accounts/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=185833
Based on a review on online forums it seems many are having this problem. I urge Apple to figure out a solution and I hope someone in this community has figured out a workaround. If you have please share!
Also if you're having the same issue please share that too.

Can't set up a Gmail account in Apple Mail

I've tried many times to set up a Gmail account on my iMac in Mail. No problems in setting up the same account on the Mail client on my iPhone and iPad, but each attempt on my iMac gets me this message: "There was a problem setting up the Mail account. Mail couldn't discover the account settings for the Mail server "myaccount.com".
Any ideas?

have you tried putting in the settings manually ?

How can I sync contacts from my iphone 3gs to a new gmail account?

I've just set up a new gmail account and want to sync the contacts from my work phone to contacts in my gmail. I have nearly 700 contacts to sync so I'm looking to do this in the easiest (and most reliable!) way I can - any pointers? Or tips on how to make sure I don't lose them all in the process of syncing?!
Cheers,
S

Begin by backing up your contacts as a precaution. You can do this using the free app My Contacts Backup, which will back up your contacts as an attachment to an email. You send the email to yourself, and can later open this email on you phone and tap the attachment to re-import your contacts if necessary. Once you've done that, set up your gmail account as an exchange account as described here:
http://support.google.com/mobile/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=138740. Turn on contacts syncing and when prompted select Keep on my iPhone to keep the existing contacts on your phone from being deleted (step 13).

I am trying to install an app. When I click install, my old gmail account shows and asks for my password etc but I have a new gmail account that is associated with my apple id. How can I get it to default to the new gmail?

I am trying to install an app in my iphone. When I click Install, my old gmail account comes up for verification and it asks for my password etc. I dont use this account anymore and have a new gmail account that is associated with my apple account. How can I get the new gmail to default when I am trying to install apps?

Did you create a NEW Apple ID or did you change the email address for your OLD Apple ID? This will affect how you update apps in the future.
Anyway, go to Settings/iTunes&App Stores, log out, then log in with the new ID.

To check if you have a virus, you can download ClamXav
also, go to Applications>Utilities>Activity Monitor and see if there's anything that you don't recognize, and check your sent email to see if you've been sending emails without your knowledge.

On each device go to Settings> iTunes and App store> Turn off automatic downloads of Music, Apps and Books. Now a purchase will only go to the device from which it was ordered.
