Hi
I had a power failure 2 days ago, my computer is running again, but now I cannot send email from my iPad using Cox or my gmail account. I am receiving mail in my Cox account but not my gmail account.It was working fine until the power failure. It keeps telling me, the user name or password for Gmail is incorrect. I have not changed anything. I don't know what is wrong. Can anyone help me? ThanksI agree, unplug and replug your router, then reset your iPad by holding down the sleep and home buttons, ignore the red power down slider, and wait til you see the silver apple. let it reboot and then try your connection.
Chances are rebooting the router will help. You may also need to talk to cox. They may need to reset something on their end. -

Why would I get a message saying "The user name or password for Gmail is incorrect" when I see no error?

The user name or password for gmail is incorrect. They are correct. How do I fix it?
When I try to get mail, it says. "username or password for gmail is incorrect". I didn't change anything and they are correct. How do I fix it? iPod touch 3 g
I google 'google captcha' every time but here is the link www.google.com/accounts/DisplayUnlockCaptcha
captcha is when you have to type in the characters or word that is written in a funny font. It is some sort of test to make sure you are a real person and not just another computer. -
My gmail account has stopped working on my iphone, saying the user name or password is incorrect, but both are definitely correct. I have tried restarting the phone, deleting the account and setting it up again, and checked that I can log on through safari. It had been working fine until this morning! Any ideas how to fix this?
Turn off 2 step authentication on your gmail account in a browser. It should work fine afterwards.

Tapping on mail brings up a banner saying: CANNOT GET MAIL User ID or Password is incorrect. Have to tap OK. How do I sign in correctly so updated email will show up?

Gmail error "The user name or password for Gmail is incorrect"
Starting the other day I am getting the above error when I try to access my gmail account on my iphone4 and I get the same error on my iMac. This is the 2nd or maybe 3 time this has happened. The last was exactly month ago.
Also keep in mind I can access gmail directly on the web using the same id and pw that is in iphone and mail app on imac. The last time in Jan I tried deleting and reinstalling my gmail account 4-5 times but with no luck, same error msg and gave up. A couple days later and it just started working again.
Any idea's on what could be causing this and is anyone else having similar issue with gmail?Update on this. I kept on getting this at intermittent times and I found I had a problem with forwarding.
I have a number of mailboxes being forwarded in different ways. One from a little used address was circular and, I think, when emails went to it the forwarding caused the Gmail alerts to block the accounts. I have fixed the forwarding issue and it all seems to be working fine now.
So big hint before wasting heaps of time on changing accounts and passwords etc. check your forwarding arrangements from other addresses and map them out to see if anything is circular. Unlocking captcha is a fix but might not be going to the root cause of the problem.
If I had done this I would have saved a couple of days fiddling about.
Hope this helps somebody save some time .

ARE YOU GETTING THIS MESSAGE ? Gmail error "The user name or password for Gmail is incorrect"
RESETTING GMAIL ACCESSIBILITY ALL DEVICES
IT’S A GOOD IDEA TO FIRST ESTABLISH ON EACH DEVICE THE Gmail Password
AFTER
passwords have already been established in all above devices
THEN GO HERE
https://www.google.com/accounts/DisplayUnlockCaptcha
take it from there
THEN WITHIN 10 MINUTES GO TO EACH DEVICE (iPhones,iPads) and sign in to Gmail

My iphone keeps coming up with "the user name or password for aol is incorrect" can you help pl?
I also have the same error message " incorrect paasword" for my email acct...when i updated my iphone 4 to IS0 7. I went to my carrier and was told to delete acct and then add it again. All that did was delete all of my contacts and notes for my email act. Since I have an I pad . The acct also was deleted from it. I backed up both on ICloud but now I can not do the restore because ICloud does not reconize my phone. ..... Please help.

We purchased a new iPad2 and registered it using a 'new' iCloud email/ID. We are unable to send email from the iPad and iPhone. The error is:>> Cannot send mail. The user name or password for iCloud is incorrect.
About ~20 hours later, this ended up solving itself. We can send email using the '.icloud' email from both the iPad and iPhone. Advise would be 'wait' before you start seeking alteranatives like yahoo, hotmail, etc. This definitely is a convenient way to keep all your 'cloud' information in a centralized place, including the common email...
