Mail can't access gmail account since 2 step verification

I can't get Mail to accept my password ever since setting up 2 step verification on Google. I asks repeatedly for my password which doesn't work. I deleted and set up my gmail again, and the problem persists. Oddly, I can send an email to other accounts with my gmail account but can't recieve any in the account. I went to Google settings and made sure all the right check boxes were clicked. Ideas?

You do not have to turn off 2-step verification. The simple solution is to obtain an application-specific password that you will use once to apply for Mail. Use the helpful steps as posted here by Cheesesilk:
Steps for anyone else stuck:
1. Go to Apple icon  (top left of screen) > System Preferences > Mail, Contact & Calendars
2. Delete your current gmail account by selecting it and pressing the "-" button
3. Add a new Gmail Account by pressing the plus and selecting Gmail
4. Type in your account details but when you get to the password stage, generate a new application specific password from:https://accounts.google.com/b/0/IssuedAuthSubTokens#accesscodes
5. Type that new password in (you can copy paste it)
6. Hit Setup and it shoud be now syncing up your calendar and mail account again!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It works!

Can't setup Gmail account - "Mail couldn't discover the account settings for the Mail server "

Since upgrading to Yosemite I can't add one of my gmail accounts.
It's my business domain which is hosted with GMAIL. It worked before the upgrade. Now adding the email address in 'internet accounts setup' I get the message "Can't setup Gmail account - "Mail couldn't discover the account settings for the Mail server "
Mail will not let me setup an email account directly in mail either.
There seems to be major problems with mail in this update.
Also SMTP keeps failing.
Yosemite is a disaster.

Try this. I saw this solution elsewhere on the boards here.
When setting up a business gmail account, something other than @gmail.com, when you try to add the account in Mail preferences, don't select Google as the account type. Choose, "Other." Fill out the name, email and password as usual. Worked great for me after having similar issues trying to get my business gmail account to work in Yosemite.

Can no longer access hotmail account since hacked

My hotmail account seems to have been hacked - sending spam to all in my contacts. Although I ve been able to reset my password and can now access the account from another device, I can't from my playbook. It doesn't recognise my address/password ( old or new) and after turning the device off and on again, has lost most of my contacts. I've tried removing my email account details and re-installing to no avail. Can anyone help pls?

You said that you removed the account and then re-added it. Have you rebootd the device before re-aading the account, if you have not done so, it is then worth a try

Try this first - 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.)
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.

"Firefox has stopped working" message shortly after accessing gmail account--Help?

Use firefox to access gmail account. Worked great until tonight--Nov 6th. Firefox autoloaded an update, then within 10 seconds of loading gmail account, I get a message, "firefox has stopped working", followed shortly by "A problem has occurred with firefox. Windows will close the program and notify if a solution is available". Nothing happens. If I reattempt to get into email or firefox, I get a "this is embarrassing message" with two options: restore or start new session--neither of which work. Please help.

I deleted my cookies and now i can't access gmail facebook and other sites

i deleted my cookies and now i can't access gmail facebook and other sites

Thanks, but I tried that and was directed to set up a new password which I did. But, it still wouldn't let me go to my existing Gmail. I was asked to set up Gmail account. I also tried accessing my Gmail from Yahoo. Failed. Someone suggested setting up another Gmail address so that when you logged on it would ask you which Gmail to open. This didn't work and only made the problem worse. Google Help is no help. I guess the only way to access Gmail is with my iPad, but it just isn't right!

Can't access other accounts

Suddenly I can't access other accounts in my Mac, everything works fine but when I choose to log into other user account it just remains in the progress bar and never logs in, even if I create a new user account it does not let me in (password or not). The information is intact but I just can log into the administrator account (no changes has been done in the accounts administration since they where created, everything happens in a sudden)

With 10.3.9 you would go System Preferences-> Accounts -> (click on an Account)-> Limitations, then either No Limits or Some Limits depending how they were originally set up.
You can adjust the criteria at this point.
You may want to try deleting an account that is least used and re-adding a different one in its place. This will give you an account to experiment with to see if it behaves as the other accounts you're having trouble with.
You'll likely be able to solve the problem by seeing what is different between this new account and your old ones.
Hope this helps. If so please let the Apple Discussion forum know.

Can't access hotmail account from browser. cerficiate untrusted

Can't access hotmail account from browsing, I tried to log into my hotmail account by visiting www.live.com and log into my account (add e-mail address and password) when sign in i get a message saying:There was a problem establishing asecure connection.( I get two tabs Details and Stop) I click on Detials I get another message saying: server Certificate Error. untrusted certificate,unable to determine the certificate origin, This has been disallowed by your administrator.. When i press on option Stop i get e message saying: refussing connection.This server has beed previously supporting HTTP Strict Transport Security. Due to SSL certificate warning/errors, a connection will not be made. Please could anybody help me.. I contact Vodafone they said it's microsoft issue then the latter said it's blackberry problem. i have tried everything nothing seems to work.. I don't want to register my hotmail account on my BB, but i want to access it through browsing as i do on my PC.. I will be really gratful.. thank you
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Ggggrrrr, i really hope that's wrong, i would also be moving away from BB sharpish if that's the case. Hoping someone cleverer than me can come up with a solution, the BB manual certainly doesn't help. Like the first poster I have tried getting vodafone to help and also hotmail, both without success.

HT1918 Can't access My Account! - "Failed to find service connection URL"

iTunes recognizes me, and I'm logged in. However, when I try to access my account, I continue to get an error message:
Connection Manager Failed Invoke: Failed to find service connection URL
I can't access my account!
I am beyond frustrated with Apple and their lack of customer support. Since iTunes is a free app, I was told it's not supported by their customer service (the fact that I spend a ton from the store doesn't seem to matter). My fault for not going with Amazon!
Anyway, I'm stuck!! Can anyone please help?

Not receiving mail from people with gmail accounts

Has anyone run into a situation where they stopped receiving e-mails from contacts with gmail accounts? I seem to get mail from all other mail providers, just not gmail - sending messages to gmail contacts also doesn't seem to be working. All was fine up until about 2 weeks ago.
Any ideas?

If IMAP for your GMail is still not working correctly, then setup a new email account under Settings > Mail,.... > Add Account > Microsoft Exchange.
Then enter the following
Email: your GMail address
Domain: Leave blank
Username: your GMail address
Password: your GMail password
Description: Up to you what you enter here.
Click Next
Server: m.google.com
Click Next and now you can select what services you wish to sync with your iPod.
Mail: On
Contacts: Up to you
Calendars: Up to you.
You should have your GMail account backup and running, on your iPod.
