HT4759 Gmail on my iphone4

I want to get gmail from my computer on my apple iphone.  Do I have to use an icloud email address on the phone or can I use my gmail address?

You do not need an iCloud account to use Gmail on your iPhone. You could simply use the official Gmail app, which you could download via the App Store or setup your gmail account in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars in order to use it with the pre-installed Mail application.

  • Multiple gmail accounts on Iphone4

    Hi, i've managed to set up gmail account easily, but I want to send out mail from different account than gmail.. This different account has been added to gmail acc., and as my mobile operator seems to not have SMTP server, i cannot do it directly! is it possible to send mail from address [email protected] from gmail account on Iphone?

    No. Email account providers prevent you from sending mail out from another account (mostly because that's how spammers work). Some email clients do allow you to use a ReplyTo field, but the iPhone does not.

  • How can I sync notes from computer email (gmail) to iphone4?

    How can I sync notes from my Macbook email program (gmail) to my iphone4 ?

    There is no separate Notes app in OS X. If you select to sync notes on the Info pane, they will sync to the Mail app: Mail>Reminders>Notes.

  • How can I delete a gmail account from showing up automatically when I sign into google?

    My husband checked his gmail on my iphone4.
    I am not sure what he did, but when I go to google to sign in to check one of my gmail accounts his is showing up with his password already filled in.
    How can I get this off of my iphone.
    I do not have the the app for the email. It says to add the app or go to the mobile site and that is what I do.
    I go thru safari, go to google, go to sign in and his info is there.
    In order for me to get to my gmail account I have to delete his information then key in my information.
    I can then sign into mine and then when I am done I sign out.
    It will even give me the to option to manage my account and I "remove" his but it shows back up next time I go sign in again.
    Please help me get this off of my iphone 4.
    I have an email set up under settings on my phone so I know it is not that.

    Go to Settings > Safari > Passwords + Autofill > Saved Passwords and see if the Google account is listed there. Delete it if it is.

  • How to get rid of iCloud but save contacts (iPhone4)?

    I want to get rid of iCloud for good.  However, on my iPhone 4, if I turn off "contacts" under the iCloud settings, all of my contacts disappear, which makes perfect sense.
    So, how do I *save* these contacts, separately from iCloud?
    And on a related note, but probably a separate post:  How do I merge these saved iPhone contacts with my Gmail contacts?
    iPhone4
    OS 5.1.1  (I don't have space for OS6)

    I you just want to do contacts open settings>icloud and turn contacts off, you will be asked if you want to keep copies on your phone when you do.
    Alternatively you can use the delete account button, it will let you know that it is going to delete any icloud related content, after you tap delete you will be asked if you want to keep a copy of your info on your device.

  • Emails, wont come to me automatically..

    I have currently just set up my email accounts hotmail, yahoo, and gmail on the iphone4.. People seem to send me emails but they dont come "directly to my iphone" and pop up with 1-2-3 new mssages etc? I have to go and check the mail myself, and then it says downloading 1 0f 3 or 1 of 1 dependin on how many emails... Im not up to date with the iphone software etcm, as i use to have a blackberry and emails would come directly to me, within minutes..could someone explain what im doing wrong...or the correct settings for the "push" email so i can get my emails as soon as possible and not go through it maually. Hope this makes sense.
    Thanks
    Ryan

    This has no effect with a Hotmail account or with a Gmail account unless the Gmail account is being accessed as an Exchange account. This does apply to a Yahoo account when a Yahoo account is created on the iPhone using the Yahoo account preset only, which creates the account as an IMAP account with Push access.

  • Apple has removed the Google contacts push sync feature in 4.0.x. ?

    Apple has removed the Google contacts push sync feature in 4.0.x.
    Bug / Oversight ?
    As shown in "http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=138740&topic=14252" ( and as used in my old iPhones running 3.x.x ) under "Settings=>Mail,Contacts,Calendars=>Gmail" you could select to sync "Mail, Contacts, Calendars". I have used this feature for the past year or so and it's been great.
    Now, under iOS 4.0.x you can only choose to sync Mail, Calendars, Notes. The choice to sync "Contacts" has been removed by Apple.
    Here is where it gets interesting: My wife ran a backup and restore to move from her iPhone3GS to iPhone4. Whereas I did a complete fresh install.
    Her phone continues to sync contacts, mine does not.
    When I drill into "Settings=>Mail,Contacts,Calendars=>Gmail" on her iPhone4 there are two now two accounts with identical names and all other details the same. One which syncs Mail and Notes
    The second syncs Contacts and Calendars
    For some reason they can exist concurrently. This is not the case on my iPhone4 ( fresh install ) which only allows one account and will not give the option of push syncing contacts
    To be honest I've found it incredibly irritating that this feature has been removed in 4.0.x ! Syncing google contacts instantly, transparently and automatically over WiFi/3G has been incredibly useful and I'm pretty gutted that it has suddenly just been taken away !

    Is this when creating and accessing the account as an Exchange account, or when creating the account using the Gmail account preset which creates the account as an IMAP account?

    How do I add my new iPhone4s to iCloud's "Find my iPhone"? I followed the iCloud instructions and turned on Macbook Pros' system prefs to "find my mac", turned on iPhone4s's "location services" and set up iCloud, etc. In the "Find my iphone" tab of my new iCloud account (on my Macbook Pro) my iPhone4s still won't show—but my macbook does show. I had my iPhone4s set up at the phone store (2 days ago) and It receives gmail, my contacts and calender entries, the weather, etc. I installed the "Find iPhone" app from iTunes on the iPhone4s, synched to iTunes, even reset the phone, but the only device that gets located is my Macbook Pro. I can send a "sound" message to my Mac (and the Mac recieves it) but unable to see the iPhone4s from my Mac, let alone send any message. Any suggestions to get the iPhone4s device to appear in iCloud?
    Thank you in advance for your help.

    OK, I figured it out...I deleted the iCloud account off my iPhone (Settings, iCloud, Delete Account), and then added iCloud back in (Settings, iCloud, SignIn)....and then my email (iCloud) and "Find my phone" features worked! Nice!!!!

  • HT4623 how do i sync my contacts in iPhone4S into gmail contacts?

    How do I sync my contact in iPhone4S into gmail contacts?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.

  • Gmail has suddenly stopped working on my iPhone4S

    Gmail has suddenly stopped working on my iPhone4S.  I am not getting any type of error message, it is just not updating any new received/sent messages since yesterday, but I can still send a message. My Gmail account is working fine on my MacBook Air and iPad, so it must be something with the phone settings that I can't figure out.  The only thing that has changed recently is that I added additional iCloud storage for $.99 because I could not take any more photos...  Any advice?

    Do a reset, no data loss.  Hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.
    If that doesn't work - then delete and reinstall the email account.
    Buying icloud storage has no effect - just keep in mind you bought more storage to backup to icloud and not more memory to your phone - you would need to delete data off your phone to gain back memory.
