How can I remove a specific Gmail account from my ipad 4?

Assuming you are not syncing with iCloud and you mean, syncing with iTunes only...(you can only use one or the other for syncing to prevent duplicates)
iTunes -
- Open iTunes on your Mac. Connect your iPad. Then click on your iPad (either its name or just "iPad"), then click the info tab (right above the photo of an iPad in the middle). From here you can select sync contacts, then sync groups, and select the groups you want and choose Apply/Sync in the bottom left corner.
iCloud -
- With iCloud if you just sign into iCloud in System Preferences and turn on Contacts, it will prompt to merge all of your contacts that are not already syncing with Gmail or Yahoo!, etc. so there really isnt a way to pick and choose as much with that.
- However if you really want to use iCloud and not iTunes, you could import the contacts that you want into iCloud.com, but you would need to export them from your Contacts App on your Mac and then import them into iCloud (VCard / .VCF is the format you want).
* Exporting the contacts from your Mac Contacts Application --> http://mac.tutsplus.com/tutorials/app-training/contacts-101-a-beginners-guide-to -contacts-on-os-x/ (further down the page)
*Importing contacts into iCloud.com - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3605
**NOTE - Remember if you do the import into iCloud.com method, DO NOT sign into System Preferences > iCloud, and choose to MERGE contacts. If you do this later, all of your contacts will merge with iCloud and you will have duplicates of this group.
I hope this isnt too confusing. Have a good night!

I have imported three gmail accounts into mac's mail client. can i do anything to distinguish between them? e.g., can i have each one appear in the mail list in a different color? I don't want to do it by sender, but by email account.

If his Gmail account is under the Gmail app and press the app until it wiggles then press the extra deleted. If this account is under the Apple email and then you can go to Settings, mail contacts calendars and then select the account and remove it.

How do I get a Gmail Account on my iPad?

I am a newbie for IPad, I just got a free IPad from IPadTester, But I don't know how to get a gmail account on my ipad.
I opened up Settings on my iPad, then went to Mail...Contacts, then brought up Add Account which showed iCloud, GMail etc. I entered my name and a password thinking that I was creating a new account. but i kept getting a reply stating that my user name and/or password was incorrect. So I guess that it meant that I should already have a Gmail address. Can anyone tell me how I go about getting a Gmail address to use on my iPad. Thanks Pino

Yes, you're correct this is only for existing users so if you don't have a Gmail account then do as shldr2thewheel suggested.
You'll then be able to link up to your Gmail account in your iPad once done.

Hello dannyboybell,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that there is a discrepancy in what you see for photo storage on your iPad. One step I would recommend in this situation would be to place your iPad into recovery mode and select Update when given the choice. This will not erase any of your content. The attached article doesn’t match your issue, but the troubleshooting steps I would suggest are similar.
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
Make sure that you have iTunes 12 or later on your computer.
Put your device in recovery mode.
When you get the option to restore or update, select Update. This will reinstall iOS without erasing your data.
Have a great day,
Joe

You might be better off deleting the account and starting all over again with the account. Here is a gmail help site that will take you through all of the set up steps.

How do I log out of my gmail account with my ipad 1 retina?

Ipad 1
I cannot log out of my gmail account, can you help? I cannot find the log out button.

Are you talking about the native mail app that came with the ipad?
If so there is no log off feature, you simply close out of the mail app.

I can't get gmail to work on my ipad, I changed my password on my gmail account and the iPad will not accept it!

Help

Try turning the email account off and then turn it on again. Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>select your gmail account>Off. Go to the mail app and then come back to the account in the settings and turn it on again.
If you can't find any other way for the iPad to accept the password, delete the email account and then add it back onto the iPad.

Why has my iPad downloaded over 7000 spam messages into a folder called gmail/all mail? I have not set up a gmail account on my iPad

No you will not have to set up the iPad all over again. Resetting the iPad is like rebooting your computer. You will lose no apps, data, settings .... Nothing at all. I like to use the expression that it's like "clearing out the cobwebs" on the iPad's memory.
The reason I am suggesting this is that there are some other sort of bizarre issues that occur in the mail app and the reset seems to clear up those issues. So I think it is worth a try.
On the other hand, if you have restored the iPad to factory settings, I don't know that it will help. If nothing else works, try going to your web mail using a browser and see if you can't deal with this in there.

I can't link my gmail account to my iPad 2.

I have put in my email address and password but I keep getting the message "the user name or password for "imap.gmail.com" is incorrect".
I have generated an application specific password in Google and tried that as well but I still get the same message when I substitute this for my normal password in the iPad 2.
Any help would be gratefully recieved!

Its pretty much a straightforward process to add an email account to the iPad. If you have having problems, maybe the best thing to do is to delete the count, restart the iPad and start all over again.

One of the most frequently made mistakes with setting up email accounts would have to be using the wrong case letter in the wrong spot. Make sure that you enter capital letters or lower case letters where they should be.
