I have one Gmail account, but it appears twice in OS X Mail

The image shows there are two Gmail accounts linked to OS X Mail. In fact it's the same account linked twice. Is this normal, is it a problem and, if it is, how can I fix it?

Glad you found the actual solution!
I point out typos, because it's not always obvious to someone who may not be familiar with the jargon, and the error messages seldom suggest that a simple typo could be responsible for the problem.
I check www.downrightnow.com before giving up when I have a problem with an online service. There are quite often momentary service disruptions that may affect only a few users.

I stupidly have one iCloud account but with two iphones using it. How can I delete iCloud from my phone without deleting the iCloud account from my husbands phone ? He needs the account on his but I don't want it on mine!!

I Stupidly have one iCloud account but with two phones using it. How can I delete iCloud from my phone without deleting the account from my husbands phone. He needs the account on his but I dont want it on mine!

But does this delete the whole account from the cloud, or just from my device. I must make sure my husband doesn't loose all his business contacts which are in the iCloud device. Thanks.

I have one itunes account, but several itouch apparatus that belong to kids, how do I keep their cloud stuff separate, or does it all go into one cloud?

I have one itunes account, but have several itouches that belong to the kids. How do I keep the cloud's separate, or does it all go into one, because of the one acccount?

All devices under the same Apple ID will have one iCloud. If they are over 13, they can create their own Apple IDs, or you can just turn everything off under Settings > iCloud on the iPods.

Mail in Yosemite won't let me add one Gmail account but does another

After upgrading to Yosemite, m girlfriend is trying to add her Gmail to the Mail app but when she fills in the credentials, it just resets back to the same credential screen. Her Hotmail worked and so did an attempt to add my Gmail account. Does this have something to do with her account? Or could it be that she has her Gmail set up on a different Mac machine? Please help!

Did you ever figure this out? I opened a thread with a similar question: https://discussions.apple.com/activity?streamSource=connections
The one suggestion I got didn't work for me, so I'm hoping that you figured it out and you could tell me about it...

I have one itunes account but I use it on a windows and on a mac. If I buy a song on one, does it go to the other?

Years ago, I bought an iPod Nano and I sync it with iTunes on my windows computer. I have many songs on my windows iTunes account. For work I received a MacBook Pro and an iPhone. I sync my phone to the mac still using that same iTunes account. There are some songs that I might want to put on both my nano and my phone. Will I have to buy that song two times? One for each computer?

Thank you for your help. My follow up question would be then, is there a way to keep them separate but linked? In other words, I don't mind continuing to sync my nano to my windows computer and syncing my phone to my mac, but I don't want to pay for the same song twice. How do I get a song that I purchase on one platform to be on the other platform?
Thanks again for your help.

Can I have one itunes account, but have two devices that used different email accounts?

I have an iPad2 and want to buy an iPod Touch for my daughter. I want it to use her email address, but use my itunes account. Can that be done?

The Apple/iTunes ID (which is a email address) is seperate from any mail accounts yu have on the iPod/iPad. Both devices can use the same Apple/iTunes ID but have different email address for the mail accounts on the devices.

I have a gmail account but I can't get to in on Firefox, only on IE.

Ihave gmail bookmarked on Firefox but when I log on I am asked to open an account. I can get straight to my account on IE but I prefer Firefox.

How do I add a desktop link to gmail? I have one email account as my safari home page because it has trouble with apple mail, but I want a one-click link to two other email accounts.

How do I add a desktop link to additional email accounts? I have one email account as my safari home page because it has trouble with apple mail, but I want a one-click link on my desktop that takes me to two other email accounts.

Can you set up a rule in your old account to forward mail to your new account and then delete it from the old account?

Multiple Gmail accounts but only one notification icon

I just got the Z2 after struggling for a while with an ageing and annoying phone, and in general I'm pretty happy with it.
But I have a problem with gmail notifications, and it's hard to find info on this on the web because it just turns up a lot of stuff about the notification sounds, which is not my issue.
I have three gmail accounts, two private and one for work. With all my previous phones, when I had mail incoming, I'd get one notification icon in the status bar per account. So if I had unread mail in all three accounts, I'd three gmail icons in the notification bar.
The Z2 seems to lump them all together, and I only get one single icon regardless of how many accounts have unread email. I find this quite annoying and not something I expected at ALL. (Even my first very crummy internet-capable phone did multiple notifications.) Is this a bug, or is there a way to change a setting?

As far as i'm aware the icon in the status bar is a standard thing, like you i have 3 email accounts (BT Internet tho) & when i have an email the icon appears & i have to toggle thru the accounts. I dont really use GMAIL but on the Gmail App does it not register with a number saying how many you have?????
You could look into perhaps a different notifier in the Play Store......

HT3529 How do I send a group text, I have set up groups in my gmail account but can't figure out how to send a group text without adding them all individually

How do I send a group text message, I have groups set up in my gmail account but can't figure out how to send a group text without adding them all individually ?

You can use iCloud:
Step 1. Log into www.icloud.com using your Apple ID.
Step 2. Click on Contacts and then click the groups ribbon (the red icon with two people) which is on the left-hand page when viewing All Contacts.
Step 3. The left page changes to a list of Groups (only those groups stored in iCloud are shown). Click the + button at the bottom to add a new group.
Step 4. Type a name for the new group and press Enter to save it. To change it after this, double-click its entry in the groups list.
Step 5. To add contacts to the new group, click on the All Contacts group and locate the first person to be added (you can use the search bar to find them quickly).
Step 6. Drag their name on top of the new group and drop it to add it to that group.
Step 7. To add more contacts, repeat steps 5 and 6, but you can add multiple contacts at once by pressing Ctrl (on a PC) or Command (on a Mac) and clicking on each contact in the list that you wish to select. Then, drag one of the highlighted names to the new group and they will all be added.
It's possible to add names to more than one group, and you can create as many groups as you like.
Step 8. Launch the Contacts app on your device (iPhone, iPod touch or iPad) and you should see the new group appear almost immediately - as long as you have an internet connection.
Until Apple builds in a function to create groups directly within the Contacts app, this is the best way to do it.

How do I specify the gmail outgoing server if I have multiple gmail accounts in my mail? I have 2 business accounts and when I send mail from one account, it is sent from the other account and the sending email is not from the correct account.

I love my apple email and do not want to use google mail on safari. However, I have 2 gmail accounts set up on apple mail, but when I send mail from one of my gmail accounts (I choose the specific gmail account in the drop down window), it actually goes out as if it is from the other gmail account. I can't have that happen because one is my job, the other is a personal business account and unfortunately, the mail from both gmail accounts want to send through the personal business account. How do I make it send from a specific gmail account? I even tried deleting the accounts and setting them up again hoping I set it up wrong in the first place, but to no avail, it is still doing the same thing except this time I set the job account up first and then the personal business account and now everything goes from the job account! The only good thing is that the incoming messages work properly and they go into the correct inbox. Somebody please fix my outbox!

In Mail Preferences/Accounts/each GMail account, set up the SMTP Outgoing Server for each account separately, going into SMTP name/edit/Advanced and specify the Username of each account. The Outgoing servers must be two different servers, authenticated by the Username and Password of each.
Otherwise, the GMail SMTP server will change the from address to that of the account where the SMTP server was setup.

My husband and I share the same e-mail address, and computer. We both have iPhones now and want to have our own individual Apple ids, but have one iTunes account is it possible?

My husband and I share a computer, have the same e-mail address, and have one iTunes account. Can we have different Apple ids on our individual iPhones or do we have to use the same one?

For purchasing from the iTunes and App stores, you will probably want to share the same Apple ID. But for other services such as iMessage, FaceTime and iCloud, you should use separate IDs. For example, if you use the same ID for iMessage you'll start getting each other's text messages. If you use the same ID for FaceTime you may get each other's FaceTime calls. If you set up the same iCloud account with the same ID, and data you sync with the account will be merged and the merged data will appear on all devices (i.e., you'll end up with each other's contacts and calendar events). You would also be sharing the same 5GB of free iCloud storage rather than each having your own 5GB of space.

I have 2 Gmail accounts - how do I get contact details from the 2 accounts uppdated in my iPhone3gs? Only one shows

I have 2 Gmail accounts, one Google Apps account and one regular Google account.
I use one for my business and the other for personal use.
Each account has a number of contacts (business contacts in the Google Apps account, and personal in the other). My problem is that when I made the configuration, only my personal contacts shows, not the one in the my business account
E-mail and calendars work just fine but the issue with contacts really bothers me. Can some one help?
Thanks!!
Andrés

You can't sync contacts between iPhone and Google directly and (i've tested this right now) you can't sync iTunes with two Google Accounts but only with one Google Account.
There is only one solution: First go to your private Google Account (use the website) and select Contacts. Select all contacts and export them as vCard (for Apple addressbook) and import them into iCloud addressbook. Now do the same with your business Google Account.
It is possible that there is a 3rd-party software which can do this automatically but i don't know any. Sorry!

I have 2 gmail accounts - one synchronises, one is grey, showing no data entry and a date 01.01.70 - any ideas how to fix it? (iphone5 /ioS /)

I have 2 gmail accounts on my iphone 5 with IOS 7 - a private and a business account. Both are set up exactly the same way, just the username and the password are different. One account synchronizes as usual via mail app, the other account seems to do the same thing as well but after synchrinizing this account is highlighted grey for a while. When I go to "all mails" I see tons of mails dated 01.01.1970 with no sender or content. After a few minutes I can use the account in a normal way again and all the " no sender " mails vanished. How can I fix the problem?
Thank you in advance for helping!

For me the same problem: 2 gmail accounts, one ore both have often the folder greyed out. After a reset by holding down both buttons it works for a few minutes then the problem is there again.
Also the same problem with the no subject 01.01.1970 emails (this was also there in previos IOS and never been solved!).
I have a 4S with IOS7.
For now my only solution is to switch to Mailbox.
Best regards

I have one Gmail account, but it appears twice in OS X Mail
