ICAN'T GO TO MY GMAIL.

When I go to gmail, and enter my username and password I get the error message:
''The page isn't redirecting properly.
Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.
* This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies.'' However if I go to Chrome I have no problem accessing my gmail account.

I set up a gmail account too: in my ignorance, I thought it was a good idea.
How wrong!!!
Since getting this computer several years ago, I've had no big problems with firefox; but wierdly I couldn't get thunderbird to connect to the server: so, I've just been using virginmedia's webmail.
A year or so ago, Virgin passed their email service over to Google: making their webmail now over-complicated and messy on the screen- with many click-buttons duplicated, and some useful functions have been removed completely. Even with the old-style appearance option; my experience is worsened. For example, if I want to "add a new contact", I now have to open another tab in the new "standard" view: there is no longer any way to do it in the preferred previous view!! I don't like the new "standard" view because over half of the screen is covered by things other than my emails! I don't want to constantly have to look at multiple search boxes; and all those repeated clickables.
So, now I'll describe what happened when I registered for gmail: to my deepest regret!!!!!
Suddenly I found my open virgin webmail page (tab) was being repeatedly HIJACKED, and taken a gmail login page. I never asked for any synchronisation/amalgamation of my virgin (blueyonder.co.uk) email account and this flaming gmail account.
So I closed the gmail account: because it is too much trouble for sweet f.a. in benefit! Google confirmed the gmail account is closed.
But the same blasted thing keeps happening: my open blueyonder page disappears, and the gmail login page appears.
Goggle must have installed some form of MALWARE.... IT IS HIJACKING MY FIREFOX !!!
I have hunted all around goggle, including forums, for info on how to remove this unwanted malware. There is no info on how to remove anything goggle! There is no access route to ask actual people at goggle.
Perhaps firefox folk can help? Please!

  • How do you send a video via Gmail? Since upgrading to ios7 on my Ipad, ican't send .can only receive on the Mail.Can do both on Gmail but when I go on attatch it only accesses my pics not my videos

    Since upgrade to ios7, I have not been able to send messages via Mail. I can only receive.I can do both on Gmail but when I try to attatch, it only accesses photos not videos,any idea how I can attatch a video?

    Here's a troubleshooting article from Apple:  iOS: Troubleshooting Mail
    It doesn't seem to cover your specific issue, but have you tried using a different network (either a different wi-fi network, or switching from wi-fi to cellular or vice-versa if you have a wi-fi+cellular iPad)?
    For GMail, iCloud and Yahoo, copies of messages are stored on their respective servers, so you could try deleting the account on your iPad, then re-adding each account one at a time to see if that resolves the issue.

  • Unable to attach photo in iPhoto library using gmail in Safari

    I am unable to attach a photo that is in the iphoto library when I am sending an email from my gmail account in Safari. The way it should work is to go to Compose new emai, then click on attach file which opens a window to navigate to the photos folder. Inside that folder is a iphoto library which has the photo I want to send. It is not possible to open the library and choose the photo! Instead it tries to attach the entire library! I have no problem attaching photos that are in folders in the photos folder.
    I know Ican open the photos folder and find the picture and drag it to the message. What I want to do is be able to use the attach file dialogue window. Thanks!!!

    From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
    Click Details then remove all Google related data.
    Same for Jimdo.
    Then press Command + Option + E to empty the Safari cache.
    Quit and relaunch Safari then try Gmail or Jimdo.
    If that didn't help ..
    Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following:
    ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
    Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch Safari. Try Gmail to test.

    I am unable to use gmail from a regular user account on my iMac.It fails with an error string that ends with "... becasue Safari can't establish a secure connection to the server "accounts.google.com". "
    I have tried resetting safari and it does not help.
    I have tried adding DNS entries based on some discussion board suggestions and that does not help either.
    I am able to access gmail as an administator on the same machine though!
    Please point me in the right direction, please! Thanks!

    You may have to take the computer to the Apple store to have the computer checked out.

  • How to make mac address gmail contacts overwrite the ones on my HTC Android phone - I don't want to sync - that makes the phone scramble and overwrite my computer.  I want to remove or correctly overwrite the phone information as I have done with iPad.

    Please help - I am beginning to hate google, my android and gmail.  I have just wasted about 5 hours in a futile attempt to try and get my current Mac contacts list on my computer updated to my phone. I'm not that computer literate but I have looked up about google phone accounts, vCards, backing up contact lists, what SD on phones are, and God know what else.  I have searched the internet and tried all sorts of things and I still have a mac with a now correct contact list (after the iPad contacts scrambled it and I spent ages manually correcting them all) and a phone with an outdated contact list.  If you try and sync them the phone wants to overwrite the computer one just like the iPad did (would it be so **** hard to give you a choice on the phone as to which overwrites which!).  After all the  advice on the internet failed, I got the bright idea to completely delete all the ones on the phone and if it was empty of contacts the computer one could be exported to it.  Not as simple as it sounds.  First I backed up (I think) my computer contacts list. Numerous futile attempts to go through the phone options to globally delete all contacts did not work - they gave a warning message and you got to choose whether to continue or not, I did, and it looked like it might be working as it changed to zero data on the phone, but then they all popped back up again from God knows where from, but without their little added bits like pictures of the people.  So, I tried un- syncing the darn phone from  google and then deleting them globally.  That didn't work either.  I tried deleting them  all again and again and google would crash and not let me do it. It is absolutely ridiculous that this is so damned difficult to do (especially if you are not computer savvy) and that you cannot choose which device overwrites which when syncing. I gave up and ticked sync with Google again (not that it appears to do anything to the phone contact list at all).  So after 5 hours I am back to where I started from, with a phone showing all the same  incorrect contacts (but the pictures are back), which wants to overwrite the computer if I try any sort of sync, and no way to fix them except go into each one manually and try and do it - and how long would that take (and I've already wasted hours and hours fixing scrambled contact lists!).  I think I will do a print out of the computer contact list and just carry it around with me like an address book - so much bloody simpler.  So now I have a headache, am fighting an overwhelming urge to hurl the phone at the wall,  hoping for a heat wave to evaporate icloud things and am wishing I had bought an iPhone instead of the stupid HTC Android.  Can any one offer me any suggestions on how to get rid of the contacts on my phone and replace them with the ones in my mac address list - hopefully after that  they can sync to their hearts content and not stuff everything up again (which was why I unsynced google a while back - because the phone's list kept making stuff ups and scrambling and duplicating my computer contacts list).  Am I the only one on the planet having this problem or is there someone else out there who has had it and solved it.

    Without "pretending" to be yourself on the other phone (change settings) there's nothing else you can do.
    iOS devices are meant to be single user and can't view iCloud.com the same way a Mac or PC can do.
    You need to find a desktop or laptop machine (Mac or PC) to log in at iCloud.

    Hello Sophie59
    You should be able to see two different tabs when setting up the email if you go to Other > Add Mail Account. Once you enter in the email address and password, you should be at the next screen to provide more details about the email as far as incoming and outgoing servers and at the top there will be a blue section to add it in as a POP or IMAP email account. Check out the article below for further troubleshooting and emails setup options.

  • How can I stop using my primary Apple ID (Gmail) but leave my secondary Apple ID (icloud) as primary ond only ONE?

    Good afternoon friends.
    Please help me and tell how can I stop using my primary Apple ID (Gmail) but leave my secondary Apple ID (icloud) as primary ond only ONE?
    I started using Apple ID in 2011 when iCloud was not exist and was forced to use non-apple e-mail adress as primary ID.
    So I used GMail mailbox.
    When iCloud was started I created my account but unfortunatelly can't remove this Gmail address from my Apple ID and replace it with icloud mail address.
    I was VERY dissapointed because I don't want to use "outside" mailbox to get letters from Apple and ny ID.
    In fact I see the Apple old users and fans discrimination.
    When creating new user accounts are free to create a box on the iCloud mail and use it as a primary ID, and the only ONE.
    At the same time the old user is obliged to keep third-party mail box like Gmail etc. as the primary and can not get such an opportunity, as a new user
    This is extremely inconvenient and a VERY strange logical.
    For example, now I want to stop using this mailbox on Gmail but I can not do that because in this case I lose access to my ID, or run the risk that someone in the future will create a box with the same name on Gmail (when name will be free and available) and will automatically get access to my accounts on Apple and to my Apple ID.
    Now, to avoid this, your team, I offer the only way out: ID, create anew.
    Of course it's possible, but then:
    - I lose all my purchases for 3 years and will be forced to make them again and pay money for the second time for my purchases
    - Lose access to the familiar iCloud e-mail address who now serves as secondary ID because this e-mail address is almost no longer available and will never be released in future.
    And now answer me for ONLY TWO questions:
    - WHERE IS LOGIC?
    - WHAT ABOUT TO BE FRIENDLY FOR YOUR USERS AND FANS?
    Thank you!
    Hopefully for your GOOD answers.

    You cannot make your @icloud.com address the login address for the ID. However you can change your ID, currently a Gmail one, to any other functioning non-Apple email address. The Gmail address would then no longer access your account, and so even if someone were to obtain posession of it (is that even possible) it wouldn't allow them to get into your account.
    If you want to change your ID to another email address please follow the procedure outlined below, particularly noting the first step.
    Firstly, if you have 'Find My iPhone/iPad/iMac' enabled on any of your devices, turn it off.
    Create a new email address, for example  at Yahoo or Gmail, or anywhere convenient (or you can use an existing address as long as it has never been associated with an Apple ID).
    Go to http://appleid.apple.com and click 'Manage your Apple ID'. Sign in with the current ID.
    Where it says 'Apple ID and primary email address' and gives your current ID email address, click 'edit'.
    Enter your new address and click 'Save changes'.
    Now you will need to go to each of your devices and sign out in System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud - 'Sign out' on a Mac, 'Delete this account' on an iOS device (this will not delete the account from the server).
    Then sign back in with your new ID. Your iCloud data will disappear from your devices when you sign out, but reappear when you sign back in.
    I re-iterate: before you start, turn off 'Find My Mac' (or whatever) or you will need the services of Support.

  • HT201248 My email address associated with my Apple ID on my iPad has been turned off from the ISp (U.S. army).   I have a new gmail account with a new Apple ID. How do I get my iPad to use my gmail account?

    Help. My old @us.army.mil email address was terminated by the army. I used that address to register my first apple id account on my iPad. I can't remember my original Apple ID number and if I ask to reset my password, Apple sends the reset link to my old non-working email address. I have a new gmail address and a new Apple ID number associated with that address. How do I get my iPad to use my new gmail address and new apple ID number?  Remember, I can't log out of my old account because I can't remember the password. Amd Apple will only reset the password by sending a link to my old, non functioning army email account. ( I hate army webmail for canceling all retired military email accounts). John Marc

  • How can I use one gmail address on two different macbooks in 'mail'?

    I'm using one business gmail address. Me and my girlfriend both have a macbook. Now the gmail address is linked to my macbook. But she wants to use it as well. Unfortunately the 'mail' system won't allow her to sync with the gmail address. And I get messages from gmail saying that someone tried to log in to my account. Which is something I certainly want, but can't change. Does anyone now how I can use 1 gmail address on two different mac's? Thanks

    You may be able to change the suspicious account activity message alerts
    in your Gmail settings, and check that side of it, since I can use several
    means of accessing my Gmail and Google Accounts; and in the past had
    shared an account (not google) with another party half a world away when
    her email server went down for a month.
    The Mail software should not know the difference, unless the setup in there
    is not correct; if this is so, then more than what she says would be wrong.
    The Google mail Support help site pages should cover this adequately.

  • My iTunes downloads were made using my old gmail address.  I had to quit using this email address as it got hacked.  I created a new gmail account.  How can I get my iTunes downloads into the new gmail account?

    My iTunes downloads were made using my old gmail address.  I had to quit using this address  as it got hacked.  How do I get my iTunes downloads into my new iTunes account that was created with a new gmail address?  In my old iTunes account (with the old gmail address,  I can't 'update' my email address or even 'add an alternate address' as I had already created this gmail account and inputting the new address into iTunes gives me the 'pop-up' that 'this account is already in use.'   Advice please!

    Good luck. It took me weeks to fix this when I had to do it. Your old ID branches out in lots of places. You may have to delete app and get them again, at least that is what Apple told me. Plus, all of your settings on your iPad that required any ID, will have to be changed. My old ID kept showing up in different places for weeks. Changing it on Apple.com is just the beginning.

    i am new to icloud.  i would like to manage all our household email accounts through icloud.  i currently use gmail.  is there a way to route all gmail messages through an icloud email so i do not have to change my email address?  also how do i create multiple email accounts using the same apple id?
    thanks all.
    Mike

    No, iCloud does not handle 3rd party mail, and Google can already sync to all your devices without any help.
    iCloud accounts are individual, there is no 'Family' account. Open an account for each user, each will have an iCloud address.

  • How can i move contacts from my gmail account

    Is there a way to move contacts from my gmail account to my IPhone 4?

    I assume you're using GMail as your primary e-mail account?  Try this.  This is how I am setup.  Not only will it move all your contacts to your phone but any changes made in GMail or on the iPhone will be sync'd with the server.
    http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=138740
    Note... I think this will delete your existing contacts from your device.  You will want to use iTunes to back them up and get them imported into GMail before you sync your device wtih GMail.
