Hello. I got a problem using iMessage on my MacBook Pro. I have Mountain Lion. When I try to add the gmail account to receive new messages, I receive an error message which tells me I've already used the account. How can I solve the problem?
I specify that I dont' have this gmail account associated to my Apple ID.
Thank you for the answers.

Problem with gmail account on iPhone

I didn't know if anyone else is having problems with gmail or not. I have other accounts setup on iPhone, and I'm not having any problems with them. When I try to access my gmail my phone is freezing up. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I periodically get a freeze of either my iPhone or VZW Treo when it hangs getting Gmail. Most of the time, it works without a hitch - other times, access to Gmail is a PITA, and once in a while, it's hanging my phones up.
I've had Gmail go sideways on me a few times, buddies of mine say they're having no problems at the same time. Once in awhile, they'll call me to ask if I'm having problems (I'm not) but they can't get their messages for hours. Go figure. YMMV.

New Problem with Gmail -- account will not work

All -- I am hopeful that you can help me here as I am about at my wits end with attempting to configure Gmail (of all things!) on my iPhone 4.
This is my 3rd Iphone and I started out by copying over the configuration from my 3G. All of my other email accounts worked great after inserting the password. Gmail gave bad user/password combo error. I tried about 5-6 times...still no joy. Had my wife type the password in to make sure it wasn't just me (nope)...double checked that the password still logged me in to gmail via web on the macbook (yep).
So I deleted the gmail account and started over from both selecting "GMAIL" and "OTHER" from the account type and following all appropriate instructions. I've also changed the password just to make sure there's no weird error with the password. Everything else on the iPhone 4 is working great...but I can't get gmail to work at all. Thoughts?

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, no joy.
First time the account was still there.
2nd time the account was gone but after putting in new info the same bad user/password issue occurred.
Incidentally I am able to login to gmail via the web interface on my iphone...
IMAP and POP are both enabled in my gmail account.

Getting problem with gmail account

I am having the problem to enter in my gmail account.

Which OS X is installed on your Mac ?
Click the Apple () menu top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac.
The version is noted there.
Troubleshooting advice can depend on that information.

I have an Ipad 2 and are having problems sending out emails in one of my email address. I always get a message reading the email was not sent because the server does not allow relaying. This is an email account POP3. I have no such problem with gmail.

Welcome to the Apple community.
If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

Having problem with gmail smtp outgoing server. Since going to google 2-step, and entering 16-digit code in gmail account, I can receive mail on my iMac, but cannot send. I keep getting an error message that Mail "Cannot send message using Gmail (my assigned name) server." What do I do?

Confirm you did this: https://support.google.com/mail/answer/1173270?hl=en
You might also try removing all gmail passwords from your keychain in Keychain Access. Then connect again and enter the password code given by Google.

Yosemite Mail still has sync problems with Gmail - any solutions?

I notice that Yosemite Mail still has sync problems with Gmail. After running for some hours, I noticed there were 6 emails in my Gmail account that had not synced over the past hour.
In the meanwhile, for safety's sake (don't want to miss emails!) I'm back to Mailplane. But I wonder if anybody knows of a solution to this long term problem first introduced in Mavericks. Works fine in iOS Mail though.
Thanks,
doug

I don't think we'll ever have a "best of both worlds" Doug. I've used Gmail since the week it launched the first beta in 2004, and it's always been a bit of a love-hate relationship for me (mostly love). With the demise of the Google Notifier for Mac, I went with Mailplane, but even it has problems. Like when I see my iPhone update with new mail and I'm looking at Mailplane and it won't update at times with even a forced refresh. I often have to close/reopen it to see new messages. But, it's hard to live without my Google Calendar only a tab click away, one of the primary reasons I use Mailplane, that plus changing view zoom sticks with Mailplane and won't with Gmail.
For years I've thought Gmail labels were the perfect filing solution, but over the past few weeks I've been analyzing just how much I really use that feature, and for me...it's not all that much. I think I could simplify my life by putting everything into appropriate folders (as in all other email apps). Apple doesn't realize just how much money they're losing by not allowing people to use private domains with iCloud mail...which I would do in a heartbeat just because it would work perfectly with Mail.app. I would pay even more than I currently pay Google for this solution with Google Apps Business. So, I'm actually on the verge of moving my private domain to the best email service I can find and then using it with Mail.app. The problem here, of course, is I'll lose the best spam control on the planet (Gmail). So, as you say, there simply is not a "best" solution for all these things. I'll at least try a new email service first with some other domain to see how I like it before moving my primary email.
Lastly, the other thing that incenses me is synching of flags between iOS and Apple Mail. It works fine between Gmail and iOS Mail, since all I care about is whether a message is starred/flagged or not. But using Apple Mail, when I flag a message it will not show as flagged in their own iOS Mail, which is incomprehensible, given they built both apps.
If you find a great solution or discover anything new...please post it here, Doug. Thanks.

Mac Mail stops recieveing mail with Gmail Accounts and Google Apps

Hi,
We're having some chronic issues with our corporate Google Apps / Gmail service when used with Mac Mail. Regardless of the OSX version... when it's not one thing it's another. It's nice to see that 10.9.4 finally correctly inserts the proper, full username in the SMTP field for Google Apps users.
We still have some problems where users stop receiving mail silently in the middle of their workday. It wouldn't be such an issue, except that Mac Mail pretends nothing is wrong and suddenly the person realizes they are 3 hours behind on their emails. Magically, quitting and re-opening mail resolves the issue. Even more disturbing, is this article on apple support which lists this stupidity as the official workaround
OS X: New email messages not received until Mail is quit and reopened
I suppose one could argue that Outlook 2011's integration with gmail accounts is even worse. There's something to be said about "AirMail" being the #2 app in all the appstore currently. Clearly Apple and Google aren't putting their best foot forward to make this work.
I guess what I'm looking for is something concrete other than "Restart Mail to get mail coming in again". Is there some workaround to see the connection status to see if something is stalled?

Googles version of an IMAP system works poorly with most clients. If you are going to use it then choosing a client that works the way Google wants them too is a wise course.
Of that breed MailPlane is easily the best, AirMail is a solid second.

What's the problem with gmail?

I have a couple of firneds with gmail accounts, and lately, when I attempt to reply to their emails the Mail app freezes and I have to force quit.
I'm able to read the email, and as long as I don't try to reply (or forward) everything is fine, but I crash if I try to reply.
I have a gmail account as well, and I originally thought it was my account that was bailing, but I asked my friends to send email to my dotmac adress. Same problem.
Anyone have any advice?

Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network, choose Network Port Configurations from the Show popup menu, and make sure that the configuration used to connect to Internet appears at the top of the list. Leave checked (enabled) only the port configuration needed to connect to Internet and Built-in Ethernet (in that order if not the same). Uncheck (disable) the rest. Parallels in particular, if you have that installed, is known to cause this problem in Mail.
How have you set up the account in Mail (POP, IMAP)? If IMAP, what are your Preferences > Accounts > Mailbox Behaviors > Drafts settings?

"There is a problem with your account..." when opening online OneNote file within local OneNote app

Hi,
We have a tenancy DirSync connection a small number of staff so that they can have access to SharePoint, Visio and OneNote Online. When one such user logs onto the http://[groupsite].sharepoint.com site on his Windows 7 PC with Office 2013 installed,
he can access the site successfully. He might then open a OneNote file online. However, if he was to then click the "Open In OneNote" button from the toolbar, and clicked "Yes" to the Microsoft OneNote Security Notice:
"Microsoft Office has identified a potential security concern. This location may be unsafe".
... and then sign in with the same account to this box
... and then enters his correct credentials into the next "Sign In" window, it returns with the following message:
"There is a problem with your account. Please try again later".
Finally, the following message is returned within the MS OneNote app:
"We couldn't open that location. It might not exist or you might not have permission to open it. Please contact the owner of onenote:https://[groupsite].sharepoint.com/sites/....one#SharePoint Team Site for more information."
The user has reinstalled MS OneNote 2013 on the PC with no change. We have also removed all cached credentials from within Windows Credential Manager and rebooted with no success. The user can access all web-based resources such as SharePoint, OneNote and
Visio, and he can open web-based Visio files locally on the locally-installed Visio app with no issues. This problem is specifically experienced when opening an online version of OneNote locally on a PC that has either MS OneNote 2010 or OneNote 2013.
Any assistance that you may be able to provide would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Brian

Thanks Maurice, for your reply.
My Windows Account is already used to log into OneNote. It is the same Windows Account used to log into, and access online, the SharePointOnline, OneNote Online, etc., services. I tried, indeed, to sign out from my account within the client-version of OneNote
but it returns the message "We can't remove Windows accounts".
Again, this is the only account that has been used with this installation of OneNote, and it is that which has been uploaded by way of DirSync to Azure. It works for online versions of OneNote items, SharePoint and Visio, and for VisioOnline-based files
that are opened within the local client-version of Visio. When trying to open the OneNote Online notebook within the local client-version of OneNote we get this issue.
I have reinstalled Office with no success.
Any help that you can provide in this regard would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Brian

I used a prepaid Visa card on ITunes. The card no longer has money on it. It keeps telling me that there is a problem with my account (it's out of money).

I do not have a regular credit card. I used a prepaid credit card on my ITunes account for a little while, but now the prepaid card is out of money. Every time I try to download new FREE apps, it says there is a problem with my account and that I need to put in new card information. There is no option for selecting none. I tried deleting the old information and entering it as a blank. It will not accept it. Every time I try to download free apps, it comes back with the account information page, and then I can go no further. I cannot even download an update to my IPad from Apple. Help!!

Problems with Merging Account

Hi Experts,
I have 2 problems with merging accounts:
1) Opportunity is not moved from source data to master data. I do not know why. Central BP is changable.
2) Contact Person is only copied, not moved. This causes problems later on when we want to delete the source data.
Any idea how to solve this?
Best regards,
Cristina

Hi Arno:
First of all: Thanks for answering my thread!
The problem with opportunities in my system is, that they are not merged at all, not even with the batch job. I checked trx. BUSWU02. Node CRM370 is assigned to variant CLEAR_REP.
Also the central Business Partner in opportunity remains changable, once the opportunity was saved.
Anything else I have to check??
Best regards,
Cristina
