IPhone and iPad iOS 5.1: Gmail IMAP attachments not downloading
I'm having an issue with Gmail (IMAP) not downloading attachments from myself! (I use Gmail to archive documents, etc). Same issue on my iPhone 4 and iPad 3, both iOS 5.1, using the default mail app with default "Gmail" account (IMAP) set up.
They *were* both working fine, then I erased both devices for a clean install. Set up the email accounts again, now none of my own attachments download on either device.
When I say not downloading, I see the attachment download box (dashed box with download arrow inside), and on pressing it, the attachment downloads (0 to XX kb), but then the download box just flashes back to showing the file size, and the attachments do not show. I keep pressing the download box but it flashes and nothing happens. Same with .jpg .png .doc .xls .pdf, etc.
BEFORE THE FORMAT:
All attachments downloaded correctly (as far as I can remember) before I had erased both devices.
NOW:
Attachments sent *from* me ([email protected]), via Gmail website, to me or anyone else, BEFORE formatting my iPad 3 and iPhone 4, do NOT download. However, if I then forward the email, including attachments, the attachments appear in the outgoing message preview! (so they're not corrupt)
Attachments sent *from* me ([email protected]), via Gmail website, to me or anyone else, AFTER formatting my iPad 3 and iPhone 4, DO download and correctly appear in the email.
Attachments sent *from* me ([email protected]), via iPhone/iPad, to me or anyone else, any time BEFORE or AFTER formatting my iPad 3 and iPhone 4, appear correctly.
Attachments sent from anyone else, *to* me ([email protected]), always appear correctly.
On a friend's iPhone 3G (iOS 4.2.1), adding my gmail account using the default "Gmail" setting (IMAP) works fine - all attachments download and show!
On a friend's iPhone 4 (iOS 5.1), adding my gmail account using the default "Gmail" setting (IMAP) replicates my problem - all attachments from me (sent before the format) do not download. (So it's not specific to my own devices!)
Gmail Exchange server (m.google.com) works fine: all attachements download and show correctly. Also no problem using Thunderbird IMAP or the Gmail web interface.
So it looks like it might be a problem with iOS 5.1, however it all seemed to be working fine before I did the erase/format... and new emails sent from me always appear correctly... actually that might explain why it was working before (as I was always downloading new emails, and not looking at archives).
So the only other thing that might have changed is some IMAP server setting? Could the headers or mail flags have changed somehow for older emails??
Any thoughts? :-/
I reproduced this problem over the weekend, on friends' iPhones (all running iOS 5.1). Opening their Gmail sent folder and trying to view an attachment sent from a while back (basically one that hasn't already been cached by the Mail app) failed to display. Exactly the same problem - download arrow flashes and attachement won't show / can't be opened.
I'm in the UK, but not sure if that affects anything.
Thinking this might be a bug in the Mail app in iOS 5.1, as earlier versions work fine.

I just recently got an ipad Air and some odd things are happening. I use Entourage on my iMac OS 10.6.8, and my iphone and ipad are getting emails into the junk folder and the email doesn't show up anywhere on my iMac. You can't label an email "not junk" on the iphone or ipad, so what do I do? So frustrated.

I signed on to iCloud, but it only shows the icons for Mail, Contacts, Calendar, Notes, Reminders, Find Phone, Numbers, Pages and Keynotes. Where's everything else ?
What you've outlined in this part of the post is all that icloud stores for you outside of the backup. If you want to restore from the icloud backup you will then have for all practical purposes a carbon restoration back to your device if you restore from the icloud backup.

Syncing your device with itunes will then enable you to remove whatever photos you wish to remove from your device deleting them with the computer and not the iphone. -

That's odd jway502, let's look into it. Are you not receiving them on the iPhone and tablet, or just on your Messages website? Did you check the native messages app? Do you receive them there? Is it iPhone to iPhone?

Ios 8.2 gmail IMAP password not correct
I Updated to 8.2 yesterday on both my iPad and iPhone. This morning both devices report my app specific passwords are incorrect. I cannot retrieve or send mail from only my gmail accounts in the mail app. I downloaded the gmail app and i can send and recoeve from there. I have already reset both devices, deleted gmail and readded the account in settings, unlocked my captcha, and turned off IMAP and turned it back on in my main gmail settings. I have also generated new app specific passwords to try. Am I missing anything to try or change?
Thanks,
BrianUpdate 8.2 has broken our Google Apps mail integration for my company. We are getting password incorrect errors on multiple accounts. Deleting the account, restarting and readding does nothing. Even removing 2 step verification does not fix the issue. Just wanted to give a heads up.

Hey Cnsjj,
Just make sure Automatic Downloads are set up for that publication;
Newsstand updates subscriptions only when using a Wi-Fi connection. If you aren't seeing the latest issue:
Verify that you are connected to a Wi-Fi network.
Check Settings > iTunes & App Store to verify that Automatic Downloads is enabled for that publication.

My iPhone and iPad keeps removing songs from their libraries.
Why do my iPhone and iPad decide, one day (and its always when you're traveling; the little bastards), to remove music from their libraries?
I'm looking at my iPad right now and it barely has a single album worth of songs. I know I can get the songs back from the cloud, but how do I get it so that I don't have to do that all the time?
My Mac keeps its music, so why do iPhones and iPads keeps removing them? I'm not doing anything special, just the "sync ALL my stuff to iOS" usual.iTunes match will stream them like pandora (just for example). If you toggle it on and off should help also from itunes on your computer with your music select store then update itunes match as well just to make sure your items are still on the cloud and matched. Once your music is showing on your device and you are connected to the internet should be able to play back with no issues, also you will see little clouds next to the songs that you can tap to download them to the device directly to play when you are off line or not connected to the internet.

My iphone and ipad are stil synchronized but Calendar does not sync with Outlook since I upgraded the PC to windows 8.1
You may answer in English, Italian or French...
Thanks for Help!!!All I had to do was complain. I synced my iPhone to the Windows machine, checked the other account at iTunes prompting (where no apps had shown up previously), reconnected the iPad, and 140 apps downloaded including the App Store. I have no idea why.

I am traveling to the Philippines next week and am confused on whether I need to buy a converter to be able to charge my Iphone (and Ipad). I was told I did not as the chargers were universal and automatically converted anywhere from 100 to 240v depending on what you plug into.
I would just like some more confirmations if any one has traveled internationally.
Thank you.No, but most international airports I have been to have convenience stores that sell the plug adapters. And there are always other shops with the adapters so it is easy to get exactly what you need after you get there.

I had no idea my iPhone and iPad were so connected. I deleted notes from iPhone as I had them on iPad. Well was I surprised to see they were gone from iPad also. Can these be retrieved?
Because it says it's incompatible when it can't be, I got hope. I get error messages all the time with my iPod and iPhone that it cannot sync and that 'this device is not capapble of connecting to iTunes' stuff. I literally forget that happened, plug it in again and it works, I later realize that iTunes made a mistake, they do that.

All of a sudden I am not receiving one of my gmails on my Mac mail account. I have a mobile me account, a cox account, a different gmail account and they all seem to be working. I tried deleting it and adding it again. No luck. Not sure what happened. I get the emails on my iphone and ipad just not coming in on my desktop for some reason. Any suggestions?
I actually deleted the account and re-added it as an IMAP account and it seems to be working. No idea why. My other account is still a POP account, but it never had any issues. Oh well. I'm getting them again on my desktop. Thanks for the response though!

hello. I can not configure my major mail account at Mac Mфail - other accounts such as Hotmail and Gmail are working great. Also, I am using that major account at iPhone and iPad with no problem. I had contacted mail provider - we had followed step by step all the settings,, they are correct, and I was suggested to use another mail program. Why, for God's sake I should use different programs for different mail accounts? Anyone, had the same problem?
it says - IMAP - Trying to log into this IMAP account is failed - Verify that username and password are correct
same for SMTP
