Hi, I cannot access my gmail from my iphone. The password is correct and I can access fine from my computer but the iphone keeps telling me the password is incorrect. Any ideas?

I believe Gmail has an option for Two-Step verification that may require a different password for mobile devices than for your computer.

  • Mt iPad will not allow me to update my apps. My username and password are correct and I can buy apps with no problem but when I try and update it just says "cannot open iTunes"

    My iPad will not allow me to update apps although I have no problem buying new ones. It says "cannot connect to iTunes" each time I try.

    Same problem for me, too.  It happens on my iPad, iPhone, and iMac.  Weird because I have great Internet connectivity and I can log into and view my iTunes account.  I've downloaded three new apps with no problem.  But my iPad shows 14 apps needing updates, my iPhone shows 2, and my iMac shows 1.  In all cases, clicking on "update" and entering the password results in the message, "Cannot connect to iTunes Store".  It's the same result across multiple WiFi networks, even after resetting them.
    I'll see if someone at the Genius Bar can help and then I will repost.

  • I changed my gmail password after suspicious activity was detected.  It works fine on my computer but my iphone 5 doesn't recognize my new password ("cannot get mail" message).  I've tried changing my phone settings to the new password, but no good.

    Hello there dinadinadina,
    It sounds like you have modified the password settings for your Gmail account after changing the password. Thats where I would have started too. Next I would restart the device and test it one more time, and then remove and add the account again in Settings:
    Get help with Mail on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
    Restart your iOS device.
    Delete the affected email account from your device.
    Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
    Tap the affected email account.
    Tap Delete Account.
    Add your account again.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,

    make sure you have sufficient drive space on your target drive.  Make sure you have a minimum of 15% free space on your startup drive.  What format is the original quicktime movie?

  • After having no internet for over 24hrs, my IPad has completely shut down. I have tried everything I can think of, including a reset but think that was a really bad move!! Any ideas for how to get my pad back? Simple words please..I am not a pro AT ALL.

      My internet was down for over 24hrs after a storm. During that time, my IPad completely shut down and I can't get it going again.  I studied the manual but couldn't find a similar topic.  I reset it and now it is totally goofed up.
       Does anyone have any ideas or should I just take it to an Apple store and pay??  Any solutions you may have, PLEASE use simple words as I am not a pro, by any means....probably why I'm in this situation.
       Thank you in advance.

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

  • HT5137 The icon ..eg. Sound hound.and others.. Won't open when pressed. They just flicker with the face page briefly and won't open..don't want too loose sound hound ,as many references there .. Any ideas.

    On my  iphone3gs..some of icons aren't  opening up. Esp sound hound ,I don't want too loose it ,as have lots of references up in there .. Some of others ,like ,weather , stocks are opening.. Any ideas out there please..and thank you..

    You can also try backing up your iPhone and restoring the iOS.  This will erase everything then you can restore fomr your backup to bring back you apps and all of the associated data.  If you decide to do the easier steps of deleting and reinstalling the individual app, you will loose the data contained within that app, unless there is a log in account associated when you set up the app (like connect to facebook, or another internet account).
    How to backup and restore from a backup: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
    How to restore the iOS: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
    Backup, then restore iOS, then restore form backup (if you decide to do this)

  • I can't print wirelessly from my iMac although it is connected to the same network as the printer and I can print fine from my iPad to the same network

    I have downloaded and installed the driver from the HP website for the HP Envy 5530. While I can send documents from my iMac to the printer using a USB cable, it will not print wirelessly. When I tried to install the wireless connection, I got the dialogue box saying "Devise not reachable" and it suggested I check whether the iMac is connected to the wireless network (it is and the signal strength is excellent, Safari runs well) and that I check the printer is connected to the same network (it is). I am able to print items from my iPad wirelessly using the network so I don't understand why the iMac won't recognise the printer wirelessly when everything else works fine.

    From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Advanced
    and check the box marked
              Include Bonjour in the Bookmarks menu
    if it's not already checked. Then select
              Bookmarks ▹ Bonjour ▹ Name of printer
    A web page served by the printer should open. Does it?

  • My iPhoto browser just doesn't load. The app is responsive and I can access the menubar, but no options to click. There is just no iPhoto browser. I don't have a clue what to do.

    Whenever I try to load iPhoto, the icon bounces in the dock, the menubar changes, but the iPhoto photo browser/window never appears. Most of  the menubar drop-down windows are greyed out. I'm not sure what else I can add to this, this is really strange for me. No spinning beachball, just an empty screen.
    I'm running Lion 10.7.3 and I have iPhoto 11 (9.2.1). 
    What can I do?

    Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder.
    (On 10.7: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)
    (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    What's the plist file?
    For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

  • Ipod classic 160GB very slow sync and cannot connect to itunes store windows 7 ansd itunes 10.6.0.40. I have now been trying for 3 weeks to restore my iPod. Really frustrated, any ideas would be welcome.

    Ipod classic 160GB very slow sync and cannot connect to itunes store windows 7 ansd itunes 10.6.0.40. I have now been trying for 3 weeks to restore my iPod. Really frustrated, any ideas would be welcome.

    Cured the problem! Reinstalled an earlier version of itunes from oldapps.com (version 10) now everything works as it should. I would suggest that if you are experiencing these problems that you do the same. I must say that it is a brave business decision on behalf of apple to effectively lock out all windows 7 users from their products and sales channels and I can only wish them luck in this very shortsighted policy.

  • Hi there, I pay for extra iCloud space online. However I cannot seem to find any of my photos or account? As my iPod/iPhone only hold 1000 pictures, where are the previous pictures? And how can I access them?

    Jailbreaking violates the Apple warranty and licensing agreement and voids ALL support from Apple.  No one on here can help you as doing so is a violation of the Terms of Use of these Communities.  If you send the iPad to Apple they will just send it back to you as they are not permitted to work on a machine that has been jailbroken.

    Try from a computer.   You may have to reset your password.  If you can't get the comfirmation email then you can use the secret question.  Once you can log in then you change the the email address.
