IPad won't let me set up Microsoft Exchange for Gmail

My new iPad 3 won't let me set up a Microsoft Exchange acct for Gmail.  In Settings / Mail, Contacts, Calendars / Add Account / Microsoft Exchange I add all of the info, hit next and nothing happens - it just takes me back to the same screen with Next grayed out.  I followed the same steps on my iPod Touch and had no problems.  Any help would be appreciated.

Quit the settings app and restart the iPad - then try again.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
If the email account is appearing on the iPad - delete it and then try adding it back on.

  • My iPhone 5s won't let me set up my fingerprint for touch id as it is not enabling the iphone unlock / itunes

    plz help me

    Hello umair221,
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you have a fingerprint setup with Touch ID but it is not unlocking the iPhone or is able to be used for iTunes purchases.
    Those are settings that can individually be enabled or disabled.
    (Note you won't have Apple Pay on an iPhone 5s.)
    For further troubleshooting, please see the article that came from:
    Use Touch ID on iPhone and iPad - Apple Support
    Get help with Touch ID
    Make sure that you're using the latest version of iOS.
    Make sure that your fingers and the Home button are clean and dry.*
    Cover the Home button completely. Don't tap too quickly, don't press down hard, and don't move your finger while Touch ID is scanning. Make sure that your finger touches the metal ring around the Home button.
    If you're using a case or screen protector, make sure it doesn't cover the Home button or the surrounding ring. If it does, remove the case or screen protector and try again.
    Tap Settings > Touch ID & Passcode and make sure that iPhone Unlock or iTunes & App Store is on. Also make sure that you've enrolled one or more fingerprints.
    Try enrolling a different finger.
    If you can't enroll any of your fingers, take your device to an Apple Retail Store, Apple Authorized Service Provider, or contact AppleCare for help.
    * Moisture, lotions, sweat, oils, cuts, or dry skin might affect fingerprint recognition. Certain activities can also temporarily affect fingerprint recognition, including exercising, showering, swimming, cooking, or other conditions or changes that affect your fingerprint.
    Take care,

  • IPod and ipad won't let my apple Id be used for iMessage or face time

    My iPod and my iPad last week decided to sign me out of FaceTime and iMessage after nearly a year of use, and just displayed the error message appeared that my apple Id or password had changed this made no sense so I went and changed my password no success. Next I tried rebooting both devices no change. Then I closed down all the apps and tried no change. Next I tried to sign in via settings this time I got the message that you need to verify your account and an email has been sent. No email recieved and so I still couldn't sign into iMessage or FaceTime. Next I tried signing in on my sisters iPod touch and it gave me the same error so I asked her to sign in on my devices and it allowed her. So i realised the issue is with my account is there a way of checking that my account can still be used for iMessage or a way of seeing if my account has a error or glitch, or should I create a new account.

    Hi Go to itunes bottom of page sign out then sign back in that may help . Cheers Brian

  • My iPad won't let me sign into my Apple ID when I try and download an app it asks for my id and password and when i type it in the iPad displays a message saying cannot connect to iTunes Store. However when i do this on my phone it works perfectly.

    My iPad won't let me sign into my Apple ID when I try and download an app it asks for my id and password and when i type it in the iPad displays a message saying cannot connect to iTunes Store. However when i do this on my phone it works perfectly. Even when i sign in and out.
    Has anyone else had this problem? If so how can I fix this?

    Remember, any purchased item from the itunes store is forever associated with the Apple ID used to buy it.  So when you get prompted for an ID/password and it doesn't accept it, then you are using the wrong ID.
    Go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores, be sure it's logged into the ID you have set on the iphone (since that one seems to be connecting with the right ID).  If you've done this, then you might wait a bit to see if the "cannot connect to .. store" message has to do with internet connections.

  • HT201318 My Ipad won't let me in when I try and slide to unlock it...the message is Not enough Storage but I can't get in to add more storage...what do I do to increase storage...can I use my computer to do so?

    My Ipad won't let me in when I try and slide to unlock it ...the message is Not Enough Storage...but I can't get in to put more storage on it

    Settings > iTunes & App Stores > tap your Apple ID: > View Apple ID > Country/Region
    If you find that it is set to the correct region, log out of your iTunes Store account, restart your iPad, and sign into your account again.
    Hope this helps.
    Regards.

  • My iPad won't let me stay on some games and web sites. It sends me back to my home page after I have only been on the site a few minutes. How can I fix this?

    My iPad won't let me stay on some games and web sites for more than a few minutes . It closes the site and takes me back to home screen. Why and how do I fix this?

    For Safari you could try clearing its cache and history via Settings > Safari.
    For Safari and your other apps you could close them all completely and then see if they work when you re-open them : from the home screen (i.e. not with any app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of each app to close them, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

    iMessage registration validates your Apple ID for use with iMessage. If you are unable to activate iMessage, try the following:
    Sign in to iMessage on your device using a valid Apple ID. After you validate the email address for use with iMessage, other iMessage users can connect to you using that email address. If you encounter issues registering or using an Apple ID account:

  • Firefox won't let me attach my Microsoft Office to my hotmail email account!

    '''Firefox won’t let me attach my Microsoft Office document to my hotmail email account!'''

    You are in the right area, this is the support forum.
    You should not make the profile read only, that will cause problems, for instance you will not be able to change settings or add bookmarks.
    Before you go any further try to make a copy of the current profile including the sub folders and files, and any accessible previous profile. (For instance are you using a disk image of the hdd prior to it being wiped, does that have the old profile on it) this suggestion is made because some of that information is likely to be useful, but is being put at risk of being deleted or overwritten.
    Have a look at
    *[[preferences are not saved]]
    * and [[backing up your information]]
    A potential problem is that you may have tried to restore from a Windows backup, they do not always work, and may need another clean re-install, but note do NOT delete the profile it is the program files that may need deleting.
    Try the following in this order, testing after each stage
    # return the profile settings to their standard privileges
    # use firefox in [[safe mode]]<br/> no need to make changes in the options dialogue window, just click on continue
    # try a new profile
    #* see [[Basic Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile]]_8-make-a-new-profile
    # back up your profiles (see above) then try a clean reinstall http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Clean_reinstall

  • My iPad won't let me type and has a black square around and thing I touch

    my ipad won't let me type and has a blck square around anything I touch. Have done everything online so far...

    Your Users Guide has a whole chapter (at the end) devoted to what you do when things aren't going well, generally following the sequence of
    Restart - red slider, then boot up again
    Force Quit apps - either via Sleep/Wake followed by Home, or via Recents Tray
    Reset - hold Home & Sleep/Wake to force reboot
    Reset iPad Settings - Settings > General >Reset
    Erase All Content -   same as above
    Restore iPad Software - iTunes or iOS 5 equivalent
    You start at #1 and work your way through until the issue you're seeing goes away. If you get through all of the steps and it still doesn't work, you're pretty much out of gas and have to start talking to Apple.
    So, firs thing to try? Just power it down and then restart. If that fixes it, great; if not, move along and try the rest of the steps in order.

  • My mini iPad won't let me slide the bar to turn it on or off.  Can't get in to the settings either.  What do I do.

    My mini iPad won't let me slide the bar to turn it off or on.  Can't get into it at all to get to settings.  What do I do.

    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
