HT201320 configuring gmail on iphone 4s

how to..?

If the short version doesn't work you may need to configure the security on your Gmail account.  I could not sync my new iphone 4s with my gmail account until i did the following:
You have to enable imap first (under settings in gmail.)
Then, click on Account, choose Security , then choose Authorize Applications and Sites.  It will give you a one time use only password to enter into the iphone. 
Also, while you are in Security, set up 2-step verification so your gmail can't get hacked.  It texts a new code to your cell to verify you are logging in.

  • Can't configure gmail on iPhone 4S

    Hi,
    I have been using iPhone 4S since 3 months by now. Since then I have been facing the same problem while syncronizing my gmail account with the iPhone device.
    The exact error message says :
    Even after I checked the gmail account has IMAP and POP status are 'Enabled". Suggest me a way out to this problem. It's occuring much trouble to me.

    My mother has this exact issue except with a Comcast email. Can you go in to the other options like the "OUTGOING MAIL SERVER" And also in the advanced section and tell me (or screen shot) what options are entered in there? I have gmail on my iPhone now, and it works flawlessy, so I can help you with anything that you may have entered wrong.
    Also, I would update to iOS 7 if you want to, it's a welcomed change and I love it. But I understand some people don't want to be troubled with having to learn that many new things.

  • I was facing the issue in configuration gmail id in iphone 4 some error smtp u cant send email

    Error in configuration gmail id in iphone 4

    Yes, I have the same problem only with one sender.  Not sure why it is happening, very fustrating, and sure would love to know the solution.  I have been trying to resolve this for a few weeks now.
    the sender told me they just switched providers to Time Warner Road Runner   (carolina.rr.com)
    Emails from this sender always come in to me as:
    "This message can not be displayed because of the way it is formatted.  Ask the sender to send it again using a different format or email program. message/rfc822

  • Hacking of e-mail account (yahoo and gmail) while both are configured to my iPhone?

    Yesterday the 8th of October, 2012 at about 2.45 pm IST (Indian Standard Time) both my e-mail accounts which are configured to the iPhone were hacked. The hacker not only sent some ridiculous mail from the account asking my contacts to send money through Western Union Money Transfer, but deleted my last 3 months sent mails, inbox and the entire contacts.
    They also added a new mail to my alternative mails. Upon approaching the cyber crime department it was given to understand that these criminals had used a IP address from Nigeria, Africa.

    Though i am still gona try using the same Itunes. Will same Itunes support two apple ids.
    That depends on what you mean. If you mean two iTunes Store accounts, no. Only one Apple ID can be logged into the iTunes Store at a time and if automatic download, iTunes Match or re-downloading of content is used the ID can not be changed for 90 days.

    So i guess if i solve my goof up on creating different apple IDs and setting her phone as a new one .. according to you that shall do the trick.
    But i have a question here in that case what happens to all the applications that have been purchased on my Id ? Wont i be needing them to be purchased/downloaded again in the new id?
    If you previously had been using the same Apple ID for iTunes Store purchases for both of you there is no reason to change what you've been doing. If this is your wife's first iPhone, and you want to share the iTunes Store account just don't use the new Apple ID you created. As long as there are no purchases on it there's nothing to worry about.

    cannot send or receive yahoo mail or gmail from iPhone . installed ios 6 recently. tried rebooting the phone and deleting the email account and adding again but nothing works ! can someone suggest a solution?

    Not sure about yahoo, but for gmail, I done the following:
    Set up using Exchange on iPhone, it'll keep prompting for password.  On PC use captcha option, log in to gmail account from PC after completingg captcha option, enter password on iPhone.
    See how that goes for gmail, let us know.
    Hopefully someone will have fix for yahoo.

  • Ibooks - Problem with configuration of my iPhone. Please Restore?

  • Not all phone numbers sync from Gmail to iPhone

    Is there a way to control which phone numbers sync from my Gmail Contacts to my iPhone (and vice-versa)?
    A few things I've noticed:
    - only 1 "mobile" number gets synced from gmail to iphone (which is a pain when a contact has mobile numbers is a couple of different countries)
    - a number labled as "other" in gmail doesn't get synced at all to the iphone
    I should mention that I have my Gmail account on my iPhone set up as an "Exchange" account.
    Thanks.

    If you've got Gmail set up as an Exchange account, your options for labels are limited. And, every now and then, I had it randomly relabel things. I'd recommend syncing the contacts through a standard Gmail set up. If you want to keep using your email through Exchange you can do that. Just turn off contacts for that account. When you set up the standard Gmail account (IMAP), only turn on contacts. I've found it works much better.

    Hello Ram2910
    You should be able to view them natively within iOS. If you can view them in safari and want to save them, then download iBooks or search for other apps that can view and save them.

    You can only set up a Gmail account as an Exchange account if you have a paid account. Google dropped Exchange support for free accounts two years ago. That link is just a bit outdated.

  • How to configure my 3gs iphone? it says your iphone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable...... :(

    how to configure my 3gs iphone? it says your iphone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable......
    i live in iran. this 3gs was a gift from america .. it contains NOTHING. i can do nothing with it. it cannot be updated cuz the version is low. i dunno what t do please help.

    Possible causes:
    1. Your antivirus is blocking access to gs.apple.com.
    2. Your phone is jailbroken.
    3. Your computer has been used at some time in the past to jaibreak some iOS device (not necessarily the phone with the problem), and its network database was corrupted by the hacking software that was used.
    4. Apple's activation servers are down (very rare, and never for more than an hour or so).
    5. The phone was reported stolen. If it was it can never be activated again.
    For 1. try disabling your antivirus.
    For 2. & 3. you need to go somewhere other than an apple forum for help. Although you can try deleting lines containing gs.apple.com from your "hosts" file on your computer.

  • Cannot Configure Gmail on 9720

    I have been trying to configure Gmail on my 9720 for a week now but to no avail. I have enabled the IMAP on gmail settings, but my phone keeps asking me to validate the email password again and again. After verifying the same, I get an email in 2 minutes to verify it again.
    Can someone help me?
    Thanks

    Hi @amitsubba! John_Clark is right, you should use an App password/permission for your BlackBerry so you can finally access your Gmail account. Google will provide you with a specific password (16 characters) that you can use on your BlackBerry to setup your email. Here's how:Sign in using App Passwords
    Note: make sure your 2-Step-Verification is turned ON.
    Cheers!
