ITunes, iPhone 3g 3.0, Gmail Contact Synch Won't Accept Password

That's it.
Gmail contacts, I can log in and out all day long to gmail.com, so I know my password is correct.
When attempting to configure iTunes 8 to synch my iPhone 3g with gmail contacts, the password and login credentials error, "The Google password or ID was incorrect".
This is the first time I've tried to sync the phone since I got a new computer, if that makes any difference.
Anyone?
I found a post online that linked to a google captcha unlock, and the unlock succeeded, but didn't change the outcome in iTunes.
I can't use the Exchange ActiveSync method to sync gmail contacts because there's already and Exchange account on the phone (but I don't use it to synch contacts).
Help!

I think I've figured this out.
Using another PC on a different network, which doesn't have a restrictive firewall, and the synch to Gmail contacts worked...
I didn't think it was a firewall problem, because in the original attempt, I even used Wireshark to sniff the network traffic for the synchronization traffic. I only saw http traffic to the google servers, and that's not restricted...so I must have missed something in the network trace, but my guess is that the firewall (a cisco 5500 series) was blocking the authentication traffic. Perhaps it uses imap or some other protocol besides http or https, which would have been allowed.
I also log all dropped traffic in a syslog, and didn't see any entries corresponding to the synch, but again, I may have missed something.
So, at any rate, it is now working and I'm pretty certain it was the cisco firewall policy that was the problem.

    *Hi Kyoki,*
    *Welcome to AD. Nice to have you here. Yeah it's very frustrating having your computer crash and losing your music. I hope once you're able to add your music back from your iPod that you'll keep it backed up on an external hard drive or DVD's/CD's... Were you able to contact Apple Support to assist with the password reset process?*
    Thanks

  • ITunes won't accept password

    I recently connected a new macbook to my itunes account. Now, when i try to login to my iTunes account on my older IMac, it will not recognize my password to access my account info. I can log on to buy things, but not to change my account info. I can authorize/ deauthorize. I have three of five authorized. ITUnes works fine on two of the three.

  • GMail won't accept password using Mac Mail

    I set up my POP access according to Gmail's directions, and can log
    onto the account fine on the web but it won't accept my password using
    Mac Mail. Anyone dealt with this before? Please let me know. Thanks.
    MacBookPro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Please disregard, I've figured out the problem. In case it could help someone else, when asked for the User Name, you have to include the "@gmail.com" where with Apple Mail, you don't have to.

  • I have an iPhone 5 and got my daughter an iPod Touch. I set it up using my apple ID so she could use my iTunes. Now we are having contacts synch issues and she is receiving some text message threads that I exchange with other iPhone users.

    What is the best practice here? I want her to have her own contacts, etc., but to be able to download music and aps from the store using my account, and to synch her music with my iTunes. Any suggestions? Thanks!

    - On her iPod go to Settings>iCloud  and turn off contacts and other things if you want.
    - On the iPod go to Settings>Messages>Send and Receive and add here own email address and delete the Apple ID email address. Also uncheck yur phone number if it appears. The only way to delete the phone number is to use an Apple ID not associated with the phone. You do that in Settings>Messages>Apple ID
    You can go to Settings>FaceTime>Yu can be reached at and add here email and delete the Apple ID.

  • TS1398 ipad won't accept password from iphone hotspot

    When connecting my ipad to the hotspot from my iphone, it asks for the password to the hotspot.  I enter the password and receive the message "incorrect password for 'my iphone'".  I have reset network settings, and tried changing the password on the iphone.  There is no problem connecting to other iphone hotspots.

    I have the same problem. I went to the apple store and they told me to Reset the iPad (That means every downloaded app will be deleted so they've advised me to back it up on my iCloud account or in iTunes account using my PC) I dont wanna do it since I can still use my BB Curve mobile hotspot. It connects to my ipad by disabling the password of the hotspot. I havent tried disabling the hotspot password on my iPhone 5 (I don't know how to do it) I haven't tried reseting the iPad yet but it might helpful to you.
