I have followed directions several times to setup pop email (gmail) on my phone. I keep getting message that my user name or password for popmail is incorrect. Any suggestions? I've checked both & they are correct.
Did you enable POP Mail for your Gmail account settings via webmail access using a browser on your computer?

In trying to add a gmail account, I keep getting the "ussername or password is wrong."
The only email address setup in Thunderbird is a Roadrunner email. I'm having trouble receiving business emails forwarded to that email, so I'm trying to add my gmail account to Thunderbird... I followed the basic direction to add a Mail Account and I I made sure that everything entered was absolutely correct as far am my gmail and my password for it. No matter what I do, I get the same answer: "Configuration could not be verified - is the username or password wrong?"
You have to configure Gmail to allow access to less secure apps. Thunderbird uses the IMAP-protocol, but Google thinks it isn't safe enough.
Go to your browser and login to Gmail. Now click on your profile picture and click Account. Go to the Security tab and click on Settings for Access for less secure apps under Account Permissions. Enable it and Thunderbird should have access to your email...
BTW This is totally safe. There's no need to scratch behind your ear about changing this setting -
I am trying to set up my new Google mail email address on my iPhone 3GS but it keeps throwing up a message saying that the username or password are incorrect. I have checked and they are definitely right, why is it telling me this?!
Check capitalization. The password is certainly case-senstive, and your username/email address might be as well. In the case of the password, you must get it exactly right. In the case of the username/email address, you can usually enter it as all lower case. Also, try your username with the @gmail.com suffix; your username might not be accepted without it.

Go to System prefs
Select Mail Contacts and Calendars
Then select Other
Then select "Add a Mail Account and click create
Then go to google for the settings you need:
First here for the settings online at gmail http://tinyurl.com/du3fu
Then here for the setting in mail http://tinyurl.com/38fevm8

i just updated my ipod 4g to ios 5.1 and i cant download apps a message pops up saying to type in password for caldav something something the thing is that i have no idea what my password is i never made an account for that so please help
Go to iTunea>Preferences>Devices and see if there is a backupright at the time you did the update. Then try restoring from that backup. If the apps are in your iTunes library, any app data will be restored to the iPod.
When restoring from an iOS 4 (or later) backup, if the device had a passcode set, iTunes will ask if you want to set a passcode (and remind you that you had protected your device with a passcode). iTunes will not ask you to set a passcode when restoring from iOS 3.x and prior backups.
Therefore, remembe the passcode that you enter this time.
It appears that if you restore from a backup, that backup is not subseqyently overwritten by the next backup. -

I'm trying to download my work email to my iPhone 5s. IMAP is enabled in my Gmail account; however, my phone keeps saying my IMAP username or password is incorrect. They're not incorrect. What do I do?
There is probably 2-step authentication set.

Why when trying to set up my gmail, it keeps telling me imap username
Why when trying to setup my gmail account on this supposedly incredible iPhone 4S it keeps telling me that imap username and or password is wrong? I have tried everything I was told and still same problem PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME.
I have been working on this for 2 weeks. It used to work. I don't know what happened!!!I have done that I think. How do I know if smpt is turned on? When I try to create the gmail account, I put my first and last name, then I put my [email protected], then my password & then hit next, it then searches my account and another page pops up and on the top left it says IMAP and then I follow the directions from there. I put in imap.gmail.com and then I put in the same info as the first page as in username and password, then I put in smpt.gmail.com and my username and password. I know my username & password are 100% correct, then I hit next and that is when it pops up imap username and or password are incorrect. What am I missing ?

MMy wife had bought an iPad from a friend. My wife already has an iPhone, which is registered to iCloud. She cannot acces iCloud from the new iPad. It says her username and password is not authorised. What do we need to do.
This could be a couple different things.
The device is not authorized to the Apple ID.
Continue setup for the ID on the device.
There is an account issue
Is she able to get signed in at
Appleid.apple.com
and manage the account
Can she get signed in at
Supportprofile.apple.com ?
How many devices are registered to that Apple ID? -
how can I reset my iPad YouTube password? I can't sign into youtube on iPad. It says Username or password is wrong although both are correct when I log into YouTube account via Google. I also tried my husbands youtube login and password and the same outcome. Now I cant log into YouTube via the iPad account. I can log into Youtube via Google however my subscriptions and favorites are all gone. Can I reset the YouTube account located on the iPad? I cant seem to reset the password or delete the app and re-add. I dont want to reset the iPad since I have alot of videos and pictures on it.
Do you have Google 2 stage authentication turned on?
If so, you wont't be able to use your normal google password, but will have to instead generate an "application specific" password for the iPad YouTube app in the google security settings section. -
Up until yesterday I was receiving email via my gmail account. Now I recieve a message that says the username or password are incorrect for "Gmail" . I have tried to resign in but to no avail and I have shut the phone down as well.

Why does my email account keep telling me my username or password is incorrect when it isn't?
why does my email account keep telling me my username or password is incorrect when it isn't?
Sky email is provided by Google now. Have you tried logging in via webmail on a desktop computer? Occasionally Google asks you to verify your account by entering a CAPTCHA which can't be done in a dedicated email client.
If that doesn't help, try removing and then re-setting up the account, following the directions here:

Cannot setup new gmail account
Wow, this is frustrating.
I have Gmail accounts already set up on my iphone. But I am trying to set up a new one, and sync only the calendar. I tried this with an existing account I want to use to see calendar entries on my iPhone and I tried creating a new Gmail account as well. Same results.
On my iPhone4, I went to Settings-Mail, Contacts, Calendars-Add Account-Gmail. I put in a name, the full email address, the correct password, and a description. When I save, it verifies successfully. Then it asks me to turn on Mail, Calendar, and/or Notes. I only want Calendar for this one (although I have tried selecting each of the others as well. I've tried this many times now) so I turn it ON and the other two OFF and press SAVE.
It says "Adding Account" at the top. Next to that is the spinning circle wait cursor icon. And it stays like that forever. At least 15 minutes with me touching the screen everytime it went dim.
I also tried it a different way. I added the account as described above except I left everything off (Mail, Calendar, Notes). The account did add! However, when I went back into the account and tried to turn on Calendars, it says "Turning On Calendars" with the spinning circle. And stays that way forever. Once again, I let it sit that way for 15 minutes as well.
Help?Okay, so two hard resets (pushing and holding home button and power button together) in a row did the trick. I had done it once already prior to posting this. I did it again, and then for laughs I did it a second time. And to my amazement, it worked. Thanks for looking at this topic. Issue resolved.
