IPad2, email app sync with Gmail - spells my name wrong?

I set up default mail app on iPad2 to sync with Gmail, and the app auto-spells my name wrong.
So every time I send an email via that app, it indicates the email came from "Scram"...but it's supposed to be "Schram". I can only assume this is some kind of auto correct funtion.
I've looked all through my Gmail account, nothing is incorrect there. I don't see anywhere that I can change this.
Any thoughts?

My co-worker fixed this issue for me this morning in under a minute. Go to Settings> Mail, Contacts, Calendars> Gmail (should be at the top under Accounts heading)> Click on your email address in the Account bar> This takes you to Gmail Account Information> Check that your name is spelled correctly in the Name bar.
I hope this works for you! Let me know!

How do flagged emails in iOS Mail app sync with Gmail Starred emails?

Hi,
I'm trying to figure out how the "Flagged" mailbox on iOS mail interacts with Gmail's "starred" messages. It seems that messages that I star on Gmail and then archive do not show up in the Flagged mailbox on iOS, and that only starred messages that are still in my inbox show up. Is that correct? DOes anyone know a workaround to get starred and archived messages to show up?
Thanks.

Thanks for your reply, but the Gmail app is not the solution. I have three different accounts, and I want to have just one folder where all my flagged/starred emails are collated. I don't want to be jumping between different accounts.

Notes stuck inside iPad - should sync with Gmail

I have been blithely taking notes on my iPad thinking they were syncing with Gmail, however, although the notes sync in the gmail account had been enabled, nothing has syncronized since March. Fortunately, I at least have a back up of the notes within the backup of the entire system.
So, I just noticed I have a problem because I just bought a macbook and iphone and want to syncronize across all three platforms. I should note that adding notes in icloud does syncronize. However, unlucky me, I had my notes in Gmail because the iOs configuration template led me to believe this was a viable option, and by the way, I seem to believe I have been doing this longer than iCloud existed.
So, here are my problems with notes:
1. This one is a nuisance but not a real problem: When I turn off the notes feature in the gmail account settings in the accounts template (the one that has the gmail logo on it) - all my notes disappear on the ipad. I was told that this is because the ipad believe this is syncronizing. HOWEVER, it is not, so Apple should have a warning prompt just like they do in their own icloud settings, presumably for their own icloud they believe it is synchronizing - so why a warning for one but not the other. If I knew they would be removed from the device when I turned the notes off, I wouldnt have done this.
NB: I had the same gmail account which was intended but failing to synch with notes correctly configured and doing all the good things it should when configured through the exchange template in Mail Accounts.
2. The real problem: After 5 hours with tech support and on hold -- I know, surreal -- the senior advisor told me to email the notes to myself, and that there was nothing else to do. I'm posting in the hope that there is something else to do, i would like to think I can migrate the notes ostensibly from gmail, but really only on my ipad to icloud or something. I have enough notes that this is reasonably annoying to accomplish one by one.

I fell your pain and no thereis no good solution to this nasty issue. However you can view your Outlooknotes on your iOS devices but I had to do a sync via PC iTunes and sync cable to each device (iPhone 4 and iPad 2) not a very good solution (no support for OTA iCloud sync, LAME!). Then when the Outlook notes arrive on my iOS device in the Notes app its under a separatefolder "From My PC". All notes generated on your iOS devices are in the folder [email protected] or iCloud folder. Further more if you go to your iCloud webpage you will only see the notes you generated from your iOS devices (if youhave Notes sync turned on) and you can't edit them nor can you create new notes from the iCloud webpage interface! Extremely sad and downright terrible migration from Mobile Me. These are simple text notes this should not be so difficult but Apple chose to treat them the same as email messages basically and made a flashy "Notes App" just like the new iOS 5 "RemindersApp" same thing.
If you’re like me and your looking to go away from your Outlook Notes and just want to put all notes into the Apple Notes then you need to use one of your iOS devices and manually cut and past the notes one at a time from your "From My PC" folder then create a new one on in your iCloud folder. This is also so darn ********! You should be able to select all do a copy then go to the iCloud folder and past,done (but you can't)! With hundreds of Notes collected over the years you’re not likely going to manually open each one select all, copy close and create a new note in the iCloud folder.... and by the way I'm not looking to load Evernot at this time so stop suggesting exporting my Outlook notes to Evertnote, this is not a solution to this issue.
Apple are you listening!?

Contacts no longer syncing with GMail

It is very frustrating when things that are working suddenly stop. Here's what I had working: GMail Contacts on web and Android in bi-directional sync with MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion OS X 10.8.5 and Contacts version 7.1. I use Contacts as a conduit to Entourage version 12.3.6 and that part of the chain is still working perfectly. However, the link between Mac Contacts and Gmail Contacts is broken. New contacts created in Entourage appear in Mac Contacts, but not in Gmail.
I've tried two different ways of syncing GMail, both the built-in way in Contacts and creating a CardDAV account. Nothing works. Whatever process the Mac OS uses to talk to GMail Contacts is broken.
I don't really understand the difference between CardDAV sync and the built-in way Mac Contacts syncs and if there are any benefits to one or the other. The built-in one worked perfectly until a few days ago. Its even more crazy that within the Contacts app, if I select "All On My Mac", I see one particular contact, but when I select "All Google", it is not there.
Any thoughts?

Thank you Csound1. I found a couple of other bits of info to compliment your solution. Remember that my overall goal is to sync GMail Contacts with Entourage, and Entourage is the source of most of my problems. [Believe me, I would use Outlook for Mac if it was half the program Entourage is, but alas, its terrible. No Projects module is a deal breaker.]
Anyway, contacts created in Entourage appear in Mac Contacts, but there's *something* wrong. They are missing the "Card" field. That is why they don't sync with GMail Contacts. Contacts created in GMail Contacts correctly sync across to Mac Contacts, both through CardDAV and the built-in check-box in the Account setup. I guess my work-around from here on out is to create all new contacts in GMail. This is kind of a bummer, but I'll get used to it.

DROID Razr M Not Syncing with Gmail

For the last day or so, my phone, which I've only had a couple weeks, hasn't been syncing with Gmail automatically. I've restarted the phone twice to no avail. It will sync if I trigger it.
I also noticed that my phone slipped out of 4G into 3G a day or two ago. After the first reboot, it went back into 4G, but the 4G indicator and bars are grey instead of blue, as is my WiFi indicator. My Twitter app isn't having any issues connecting and updating.

Hi thagrrrl79,
That's terrible! Let's get your phone syncing again. What isn't syncing on your phone? From what I am reading, I would recomment powering your phone off and pulling the sim card out. I would keep it out for 1 minute and then put it back in. It sounds like your phone just needs a soft reset. If you still have problems, please send us a private message with your contact info.
Thanks, BobbyS_VZW

Iphone sync with gmail caledar

My iphone can't sync with gmail calendar since three weeks ago.
In my iphone configuration I have as an exchange account ([email protected]) the contacts and the calendar on.
In the iphone screen exchange calendar I get the correct account ([email protected]), what did I touch that I didn't have to touch?
Desde hace tres semanas, no me sincroniza gmail con calendar.
En la configuración de iphone tengo como cuenta exchange([email protected]) contactos y calendario activados.
Y dentro de la pantalla de iphone calendario en exchange me sale la cuenta correcta ([email protected]), donde he tocado que no deberia de haberlo hecho?

Good grief. You quit way too easy.
Which part of this is over your head?
Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Select your Gmail account. If created as an Exchange account, Exchange will be available at the top left above Account.
There should be Mail, Contacts, Calendars below to turn on or off, and a Mail Days to Sync option if created as an Exchange account.

Mail won't sync with gmail

Mail app won't sync with my gmail account. I've tried deleting my gmail account and setting it up again, but am getting an error message that my user name or password is incorrect. My iPhone Mail app isn't syncing with gmail either - same error message. I can get into gmail through Safari. I sure would appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks.

that's a different issue. you said before that it didn't like the password. what it actually doesn't like is the number of simultaneous connections. quit Mail on all other computers/phones you use to access gmail and try setting it up in Mail on this computer again.

Nokia 6760s stopped sync with gmail

Hello,
Since 23.08.2013 my phone stopped syncing with gmail. I deleted the account on the phone and try to create it again, but without success. The message that shows ist "Unable to connect to server. Try again late." Can you help me with some ideas how to fix this?
Thanks in advance.

elinick, as there was an outage, is this issue resolved, now? Otherwise, please, let us continue there …
By the way, do you really want Nokia Messaging? If you enter a email address like [email protected], you are able to access the native (direct, without proxy) email client.

Iphone 4 s apts, disappear, it syncs with gmail, the apts do not appear on the iphone 4s, just gmail . Where did they go?

Help, my 4s calender syncs with gmail. the ical does not show any appointments anymore.
It use to. How can I get my appointments to show up on my phone?
They show up in gmail, but not on the phone.

Is there a fix for so the I phone shows the dates I make on the I phone?
The iphone should show dates when I make them, on the iphone, but it is not showing any appointments made with the iphone on the iphone.
The gmail has the dates, but the I phone does not have it.
I used to be able to see them both, it has been just a week or two. Do I need to relink the calenders?
It is the iphone that does not show the dates, gmail shows them.

Does Podcasts App sync with iCloud

The updated Podcasts App on my is much improved on my 4S and my first gen iPad.
No syncing issues... Now quickly and seemlessly syncs between the two even though iPad does not have iOS 6
My question is this ... Is my 2nd gen Apple TV podcasts app sync with iCloud?
Thanks in advance

Apparently it did sync only part for me although I have lost some entries within my lists within reminders when attempting to sync my mac and iPhone to iCloud simultaneously, no thanks to apple care.
Apple care set up my iCloud account over the phone and attempted to sync incorrectly resulting in this problem of mine. Since then Apple care have attempted to solve the problem but are not skilled enough to recover my lost entries from out there somewhere so i suggest you back up before syncing just in case you loose data also.
I suggest initially syncing only one device at a time to iCloud and to make sure you merge reminders when prompted.
Hope this helps.

Google apps sync with Pre2 failed

Hi
I was using google apps sync with my old Pre (1.4.5) and it worked fine.
Configuration is same as iphone. Just select Exchange EAS and use the manuel exchange settings to m.google.com
this synced all mails, calendar, contacts similar to an Microsoft exchange server.
However, I can't get it running on the Pre 2. It conncets but but no mails or calendar entries appear.
Any idea? Is this not supported anymore with WebOS 2. This would be a very big step back.
Best Regards
Joerg
Post relates to: Pre 2 p102ueu (Unlocked EU)

Hi, thanks for the info, do you know the name of this option?
BTW: It's a google apps company account and Pop and IMAP is disabled, so for webos1.4.5 the exchange option is working pretty nice. Would be great if I can enable this in webos2.0, then the sync limitations mentioned in other forum threads won't be there.

On your iOS device tap Settings > iCloud. Turn Contacts off.
Reset the device. Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Now tap Settings > iCloud. Turn Contacts back on.
