Just bought an ipad 3, having trouble setting up my gmail.

I've been trying to set up gmail on my ipad 3.  I know my username and password are correct, but it keeps telling me they're not.  The Google help site said to make sure IMAP is turned on, and I did that.  Any ideas?  I've tried all kinds of things from different sites.

I know nothing about Gmail, but are you familar with the 2 step authentication? Could that be the issue? I have seen it mentioned but have no clue as to what it is.
Maybe you can find some help in one of these sites

Sometimes when you are having problems setting up an email account on the iPad, you are better off deleting the account and starting all over again.

  • Greetings, everyone. I just bought an iPad Air and after setting it up, received the following email, which looks scammish to me.

    Somehow I didn't finish my question. It was: Greetings, everyone. I just bought an iPad Air and after setting it up, received the following email, which looks scammish to me.(Partially reproduced below.)  Or is it legitimate?

  • I just bought an iPad and want to set things so I can use Facetime between my iPad and my iMac.  How do I set up a new Apple ID for my iPad?

    How do I set up a new Apple ID iPad2 so I can use Facetime between my iPad2 when I'm on the road and my iMac at home? 

    All you need is the 99 cent Facetime for Mac application on your iMac.  Get it here:  http://www.apple.com/mac/facetime/
    Instructions for setting up your iPad are in Chapter 7 of the iPad2 iOS4.3 User Guide

  • Just bought a new iMac - having trouble migrating

    I have a brand new iMac, upgraded it to Yosemite.  Old iMac is also running Yosemite.
    I ran the migration assistant; successfully; I thought and my pictures, music, and documents are not there.
    I did cancel and restart the migration assistant a couple of times.  The applications did come across just fine, it looks.
    So I am thinking about deleting the user accounts and remigrating just the user accounts, because I don't think I want to
    migrate the applications again.  I am frustrated.  I am afraid I am really going to screw up this new computer.
    I have a time machine backup on the older computer.   I guess my question is:  If I delete the user accounts from the new computer and
    remigrate the accounts is there any chance it will work and not mess up the application migration that I appear to have successfully done.

    I found that this was caused by documents with names that started with an apostrophe.  When I renamed them and reran the migration assistant, it went great.

  • HT201320 I'm having trouble setting up my gmail account on my iPhone

    I've put everything in correctly but it's still not working (i.e. incoming and outgoing servers)

    Just use the 'gmail' option when setting it up. There should be no reason to set up incoming/outgoing servers.  Google is killing support for Google Sync (i.e. Gmail set up as an Exchange account) for non corporate customers.

  • Just bought an iPad 2 and plugged it in to my home PC and downloaded apps using my wife's iTunes account.  I then set up my own iTunes account on my  office PC, and none of the apps I downloaded in the new account appear on my iPad.

    I just bought an iPad 2 - I plugged it in to my home PC and downloaded a couple of apps using my wife's iTunes account.  Since I bought the device for work, I then set up my own iTunes account on my office PC.  The problem I am having is that none of the apps I downloaded in the new account appear on my iPad.  I can see them on screen #2 in iTunes and I know how to swipe to get to that screen.
    I've tried everything mentioned - I authorized my office computer (but not my home one - could this be the problem?).  I turned on home network file sharing.  Checked to make sure parental controls are off.  I'm not sure what to do next.

    When you installed iTunes on your work computer, then connected your iPad to that computer, it wiped what was on the iPad, then put the iTunes library (nothing) from the work computer onto the iPad. You can try copying the iTunes folder from your home computer over to your work computer, but since the apps were bought with a different account, they may not load or update properly.

    I am having trouble setting up my time capsule.  the amber light is flashing.  i have a Verizon FIOS network that i use for the internet (WiFi) and do not want to configure the Time Capsule to do that function.  I just want the Time Capsule to back up.

    Simple.. bridge the TC.. in the apple utility in the NAT and DHCP area.
    Plug it into the FIOS router.. you can turn off wireless in the TC if you want.. or use it.. it can work faster if you are nearby and can select 5ghz.. but up to you.

    i just bought an ipad air ... what's the default 4 digit code to unlock the ipad? i had not had a chance to reset it yet

    There's no default 4 digit code.
    You need to force iPad into Recovery Mode. Follow step 1 to 6 very closely.

  • Having trouble setting up my website. It's probably a silly mistake.

    So I've registered a domain and hosting plan with A Simple Orange which had a pretty good deal since I had a coupon for 20% off. I've tried using Joomla to manage my website, but I couldn't get the hang of it. So I'm trying out iWeb 09' now and just having trouble setting it up. I've gone to me.com and added my website and added the CNAME correctly I hope. Here is a picture. http://imgur.com/XI8Lw.png
    Next I opened iWeb and setup MobileMe in the preferences panel. I've tried publishing the information from iWeb to my website, but my home page doesn't change. You can see here at RyanSchefer.com that it's just plan

    No. Your CNAME setting is not correct. The CNAME and web.me.com are correct with web.me.com being your host. However, your domain name is incorrect - don't understand why you have put mobileme before it? You just enter either your domain name on its own so domain.com or you need to set up two separate CNAME entries, one being for www, CNAME, web.me.com and then one being @, CNAME, web.me.com. The @ stands for your domain name and the www is your sub domain.
    Try altering this and it should work okay.

  • Having trouble setting up network

    Hi guys,
    I just recently moved to a new house and am having trouble setting up the network with my airport extreme. There is a cable modem that is networked to the house so that every room has an outlet.
    I connected the airport to one of the outlets with my macbook and when I create network, I cannot connect to the internet wirelessly even though the macbook detects a network when I set it up with bridge mode. But hard wired through the router I can surf the web as I am doing right now.
    When I hit share an IP address, the internet does not work at all. It seems to work fine with my old netgear router, but would prefer using the airport.
    I've also reset the airport as well with still no luck. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

    Have you tried powering down the modem for 5 min and then turning on with the ethernet connected to the WAN port of airport extreme?
