Iphone not receiving/sending gmail

Why am I getting an error message stating "Cannot Get Mail" The user name or password for "Gmail" is incorrect," even though my username and password are correct. I've deleted the account and recreated it and reset everything numerous times. Any suggestions?

1) Visit this link.
2) Enter your name, Gmail password, and the supplied Captcha phrase (the string of nonsense letters provided on the page)
3) There is no step three -- after doing this, the iPhone or computer you're working from will have no problem at all accessing Gmail's IMAP server
It's a problem with IMAP and this re-enables it.

Problem Using Apple MAIL to receive/send gmail

I set up MAIL to receive/send gmail yesterday. It seemed to work fine. However, in trying to send e-mail this morning I keep getting an error: cannot send using pop.gmail or smpt.gmail or whatever...I have deleted POP accounts I had (carolina.rr.com) because I no longer have that service. Should I set up MAIL with a POP rather than an IMAP??? Does it make a difference which formula I use? MAIL is v.2.1.3.

Klaus1, I followed those instructions for an IMAP set up. It worked fine yesterday. However, this morning when I tried to send e-mails from MAIL it said it couldn't send them via gmail server. I went into Preferences and made sure that all POP in/out servers were deleted (carolina.rr.com via timewarner) so there could be no confusion: Just the IMAP info remains. I have two e-mails parked in the outbox because everytime I try to send them I get that same error message.

My mail account is not receiving my gmails. I am getting them on my iphone and ipad. Not on the desktop anymore for some reason. Tried deleting account and adding it again. No luck. Suggestions?

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!

My iphone will not receive/send calls or texts when my computer is on? Help?

Recently I've noticed my iphone is having reception problems while I'm in my apartment. I've noticed that when my computer is on, my iphone will not receive or send any texts or calls and has problems connecting to the internet. This is a pretty new development, I've had my phone for years with the same computer and no problems before. Any ideas?

Your computer and iPhone 4 are two seperate elements really using different connections.
i.e your computer will probably use your router to connect to the internet where as your iphone uses your mobile phone carrier to send and receive texts and calls.
So its pretty difficult to judge how they can effect each other. You try resetting your router, but ive never heard of anything like this happening before...

Try this - Reset 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 - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

I am not getting the verification email ... i changed from yahoo to a gmail for apple id...have sent it several times and I'm not receiving in gmail

Did you check your gmail account to see if it is working OK?
Are you sure you didn't make a typo when you entered the gmail address as a change?

TS2621 iphone not receiving mail, but ipad is

About 9 hours ago, my iPhone stopped receiving mail. I starting trying to figure out what was going on with my email accounts, but then I heard my mail notifications happening on my iPad in another room. Sure enough, my iPad is receiving mail, but iPhone is not (for the same email accounts). Not sure why this suddenly happened after more than one year using the email accounts on both devices.
I tried resetting my iPhone (multiple times). I tried deleting my email accounts from the iPhone and re-adding them. Still no luck. Any help, please?
Thanks.

Boa noite, tente fazer isto, apague o e-meil novamente, depois feche o aplicativo MAIL, ai depois adicione o e-mail do Yahoo, abra o aplicativo MAIL, e espere sincronizar.

IPhone Not Receiving OS-X Maps LInks

I'm not really sure where to post this but I think it's more of an iOS issue than OS-X.
I get nothing on my iPhone when I send a set of directions via the "Send to Johns iPhone" share options in OS-X Mavericks. It worked fine on my old iPhone 4s but has since stopped when I upgraded. Any ideas how to fix this?
Hardware: Mid-2009 MBP running OS-X 10.9.2. iPhone 5s 64gb VZN running iOS 7.1.
Thanks, John

Are you sure "Johns iPhone" is associated with your iPhone 5S? Might it still be associated with your iPhone 4S? Is it true that your iPhone 4S was also called "Johns iPhone"? If not, this is certainly not an issue.
If both iPhones were called "Johns iPhone", change the name of your new one at Settings > General > About > Name and end this issue. It may take a while for your MacBook Pro to see the new name. Rebooting may help.

Gmail POP - iPhone not receiving new emails

I have my iPhone setup to retrieve my Gmail through POP. Everything has been working great until last week, when the phone quit receiving new messages.
I was able to create a IMAP connection and it worked fine, but that's not how I want to retrieve my mail.
I am able to temporarily correct the problem by creating a second POP email connection. Once it's created and retrieves mail, the original account starts working again. I can then delete the new account. I've had the problem 3 times and so far this has corrected the problem. Simply disabling the new account and re-enabling when I need the fix, doesn't work.
When it's not working, there are no error messages. I just as if there's just nothing to retrieve.
Has anyone else seen this problem or know what the cause might be?
Thanks.

It happened again. Any ideas?

Messages not receiving/sending?

After some googling and unable to find the answer, I feel this is my last option.
I have a iphon 4s(running on ios7.1.2) with skype installed. which version, im not sure. One of the older versions at least, as I refuse t updat to this new **bleep**ty system in which photos are uploaded to a website.
Over the past 2-3 days I have been unable to send any messages off of my phone(Unless i send somehtign off of the pc, it seems to trigger them into sending) and for some odd reaosn, I am not getting the last 10 messages or so that Ive sent or I have recieved in chats.
I did this mornign update the newest version and it made it work correctly, however once reading about the photo privacy problem I quickly went back to the old verion.
My ipod touch(4th gen) seems to run skype better than my phone at this point, and as I rely on skype to talk to people, this is a huge issue that i need to resolve for when Im out.
Is it i need to update to ios8? I have not done so yet due to hearing about lag issues on the iphone 4s's. I no, not only have lost a majority of my old chats which i like to read through, but still not resolved the issue.
Any solutions would be great, Id honestly like to try and avoid updating skype because i disagree wiht how theyre handling the sending photos.
Any solutions would be ghreat, thanks c:

Lg Lucid 2 not receiving/sending picture messages

I have had my LG Lucid 2 since November of this year. I have almost never been able to send or receive picture messages. I switched to Verizon from T-mobile for connectivity and customer service issues and am not particularly impressed. I have followed instructions in the troubleshooting guide and am still having the same problem. I have removed the Hangouts app and prefer to use just the native messaging app on the phone. Incoming picture messages display as an image saying "download" that never downloads. Outgoing picture messages never go through with the exception of one time in early December. Yes, my data plan is on. Yes, I have cropped the images to be smaller sized. Yes, I have restarted my phone. No, I do not use signatures. Any suggestions/help are greatly appreciated as this is extremely annoying.

Midoriko, we're here to ease your frustrations. It's important to us that you're able to send and recieve picture messages on your device. First, let's make sure that WiFi is disabled OFF in Settings>Cellular data>WiFi OFF. You will then need to power your device off/on and test the picture messaging feature. Keep us posted.

Why is my iPhone not receiving MMS from blackberry's?

I am able to receive picture messages from other iPhones but when a blackberry user tries, it never comes through. Is this a carrier issue or an issue with my iPhone?

I've been having the same problem! It's both sending and receiving though. I can send and receive pictures from iPhones right away. But when I send a picture to a blackberry, they receive it hours later ... always overnight (even if I sent it in the morning). Same with receiving a picture from a blackberry, I wake up and have received the picture they sent hours ago. Also, I have only had this problem since I updated my phone. I would say its the blackberry, but the blackberry owner I'm trying to send to hasn't had problems sending/receiving to other updated iphones.
