New phone, can't get gmail to work

I'm having problems trying to put my gmail acct on my droid 2. I create a new acct with new password and then I get an error msg. The funny thing is I'll go to google accts and do exactly what they prompt me to do and I still can't enter it on the droid. Weirder still is after I log out online I can't re-access the new gmail account. Anyone else having this problem? Oh and of course, there is no one at google to talk to......

No it is not a stupid question. I tried every possible combination. I even checked the box on googles site about forgot user name. Google sent my user name to my hotmail address. then I went in and reset the password with my user name. So then I tried to set it up on my droid and kept getting an error msg. Went back to google online to login and got an error msg there. Great, by now I'm thoroughly frustrated so I thought I would create a new gmail acct to get it to work on the phone. Same thing happened. Gmail gave me an error msg even though I just created a new acct. So I can't log on my pc or phone and there is no one to contact a google to find out what is wrong.

If my iPhone 5c is not working and I have to trade it for a new phone can I get an IPhone 5s or do I have to trade for another 5c?

If my IPhone 5c is not working and I have to trade it for a new phone can I get a 5s or do I have to trade it in for another 5c?

A warranty or out of warranty replacement through Apple will be for the same model, same capacity, same colour.

Can't get gmail to work on iPad

I have 2 gmail accounts which have worked fine on my iPad for a while- 1 is personal and the other is professional. Recently, the personal one was hacked and I had to jump through all sorts of hope to get it work correctly. I set up the 2 step verification process which quickly complicated things even more and long story short, I ended up getting rid of that and basically deleting the account and starting over, using the same address. I thought I had everything squared away but for some reason, I still cant seem receive email on this account through the imap server. I have to log into google which is extremely annoying. Thank goodness, at this point my professional gmail account seems to be fine. I know the password is correct but somehow, iPad is not recognizing it. I am at my wits end and really don't want to have to give up this email address.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. The email associated with my apple id is also non functional, thanks for any guidance !

Try turning the email account off and then turn it on again. Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>select your gmail account>Off. Go to the mail app and then come back to the account in the settings and turn it on again.
If you can't find any other way for the iPad to accept the password, delete the email account and then add it back onto the iPad.

Can't get gmail to work on 4S

Hi,
No matter what I do I cannot set up my gmail account on my 4S (ATT). I've read the gmail threads on Google's website re this issue, and followed what their YouTube clip says to do re 2-Step-Verification for gmail on iPhone's (generates a password to use with the iPhone) but not even that works. Any ideas? (I really don't want to use to Google's iOS 5 app, but am for the time being. Would much prefer to use the mail setup program for gmail under the phone settings).
Thanks!

Phew! Found the answer elsewhere on the discussion forum - disregard my posting. Thanks!

Restored to new phone, can i get my contacts back?

My iPhone 3G was acting up so i took it to the apple store, there they told me i had software problems and needed to completly restore my phone and set it as a brand new one. All my music, videos, and pictures were fine but now i have no contacts. Is there a way that they were saved in my computer or am i going to have to collect them all over again?

Contacts are included in your iphone backup, but in your case it would not be a smart idea to restore your phone from backup after the geniuses restored it as a new device.
Are you not syncing your contacts with a supported application on your computer? If so, just sync them back to your phone. If not, you should be, for reasons just like this.

My iPhone has been badly damaged and I cannot get the screen to work. I want to do a backup to transfer to my new phone but the backup will not work because the phone is locked. Can I input my lock code to the phone via the computer to allow a backup?

Just to clarify, it only works when the phone is plugged in and charging. What happens when you try to activate it? Is there any error message?

Do this first:

Then whoever gets the phone just sets things up again using their Apple ID.

I just got a new computer with Windows 7 and all my songs were transferred to my new computer along with itunes. But I can't get it to work. I also tried downloading Quicktime and couldn't get it to download.

I just bought a new computer and had files transferred along with itunes to the new computer. I can't get it to work. It doesn't recognize the extensions for itunes. I also tried downloading Quicktime and couldn't get it to download.

iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I would start with:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

I have a pioneer 50 inch plasma   I purchased new from the company back in 2005.   I tried to hook up an Apple Tv to the pioneer receiver that came with the TV.   I can not get it to work.   The receiver has two HDMI inputs in the back.

I have a pioneer 50 inch plasma + I purchased new from the company back in 2005.   I tried to hook up an Apple Tv to the pioneer receiver that came with the TV.   I can not get it to work.
The receiver has two HDMI inputs in the back. However they say they are not for PC's. Furthermore they must be set up by going to the home menu.    I tried everything, but I can not get the receiver to talk to the Apple TV. I even tried a connector that uses an HDMI to the Apple TV that has the other side of the cable as 5 RCA cables. I could not get the receiver to see the Apple TV.   I have a newer TV in the house, it has no problem talking with the Apple TV. But this older system seems to be handicapped in its ability to talk with the newer Apple TV system.
My Email is [email protected]
Do you have any suggestions
Thanks
Bob

I could not access the Apple TV on the television.   If I put the Apple TV directly into by TV, I have an external sound system (entertainment system), therefore I worry that I would by pass the audio.
Thanks for taking your time to attempt to help!   Any more suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I have existing Exchange accounts setup on my iPhone and iPad to access my work email. I'm trying to do the same on my new iMac and can't get it to work. I have it setup the same as my iPad and it asks me for my password over and over...any suggestions?

Hi mwatts18,
As a preliminary troubleshooting step, you should reference the information in the following article:
OS X Mail: Troubleshooting sending and receiving email messages

I would especially suggest that you delete the account and re-add it, making sure that you are entering the correct password when you add the account. Thanks for being a part of the Apple Support Communities!
