Problem adding gmail account with Exchange. Please help?

I have a 4s thru AT&T. I set up a mail account using GMail's server, then entered my gmail info, and it worked. However, my emails were not coming to the iPhone until I opened the mail app. In other words, I didn't hear a ding and alert that a new Gmail had arrived. Messages were NOT being pushed.
So I read up on this, and eveyone said to set up gmail via the EXCHANGE account,(not the gmail account) under Settings>Mail>Add Account>EXCHANGE now instead of gmail). If I set up my Gmail via Exchange, then I should get messages pushed.
So I did all that, and for the server, I entered m.google.com. This setup is covered all over the place and looks easy. However, when I am done, and try to open/send anything, it says Cannot Get Mail. The connection to the server failed. Postitive that my names and passwords are right. No typos anywhere.
Gmail connects me fine when I add account via gmail. But Gmail will not connect when I add account Via Exchange.

It should push by default, as Gmail is an iMAP account that supports push. You could go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Fetch New Data and confirm that Push is set to On.
I have see a number of posts recently, however, about Gmail push not working for people. Suggest you search these forums or Googles support forum to see if there's a solution.

Iphone deleted all phone numbers when synced with Exchange, Please Help!!

We recently received new Iphones for the Administrative staff and thought that like other Smartphones we've used in the past that syncing with Exchange would be a breeze. After doing a bit of research everything pointed towards it being a very simple process, this is the process I followed:
Open up Itunes with Iphone connected
Click your iPhone in the "Devices" section on the left
Click the "Info" tab
In the Contacts section, check "Sync contacts with" and select "Outlook"
Click "All Contacts"
Click the "Sync" button in iTunes lower-right corner
Click "Merge", so that your contacts on your iPhone are preserved
This seemed to work but there is one major problem, all of the contacts on the Iphone and the ones imported into Outlook no longer have any phone numbers associated to them. The contacts were all synced into Outlook/Exchange no problem with their respective emails but with no phone numbers at all. Unfortunately the computer which had the backup of this Iphone was recently decommissioned so I have no backup of the phone in its previous state.
Is there any way to recover the old phone numbers/contacts on the phone without having a backup of it in its previous state? I have tried the "Import Sim Contacts" button in the settings on the phone but it doesn't seem to actually do anything. There are over 100 contacts on this particular phone, some of which the phone numbers will be very difficult to retrieve again.
I have to say that I'm not very impressed that the most popular smartphone out there can't even sync with the largest email platform in the enterprise world properly. If anybody can help me retrieve those numbers some how I would be extremely appreciative.

This is the first I have heard of it... but I'm only one person.

Does the Iphone actually support 2-way sync with Outlook properly or will it erase all of the numbers on the phone every time?
If you are syncing directly with Outlook, there are options in iTunes to determine which set of contacts takes priority when duplicates are found. Personally I do not use this. I have my device set up to sync directly with the exchange server so all changes are made directly on the server.
Personally I would recommend against using Outlook as the intermediary. You will get much more consistent and reliable results if the iPhone syncs directly with the exchange server and no worries if the end user has not synced the device in days/weeks/months.

Problems adding gmail account

I am unable to add my gmail account to the Mail accounts. Ipad says the password to gmail is incorrect, but it is not. It works fine on my laptop. Any ideas?

This is what I did... Log on to gmail account on a laptop or computer. Go to Google-> accounts. There will be a list on the left side, click on Security. Scroll to the "connected applications and sites" and click on "Review permissions". That should take you to a screen which makes you enter your password. After you login with password, you will be taken to a page which has a box to enter a application name (for you to remember what it will be for-ie. iPhone 5S Gmail). Enter a name, click "generate password", then enter that password into the iPhone mail account password area. You will only have to do this once & do not need to remember the password for the future, as it recognizes the device now.

When opening my Outlook 2010 with new added e-mail account with Exchange Server, I have to click manually on my standard e-mail account for checking mail

When opening my Outlook 2010 with new added e-mail account with Exchange Server supplied by my employer, I have to click manually on my standard e-mail account for checking mail. Do I have to upgrade my Microsoft Office 2010 or how can I make my Outlook
2010 check all my four e-mail accounts without manually click on my accounts?
Sincerely

Hello Ketil,
Good Day...
Seems to be the Issue is Syncing emails, now I would recommend you to Remove and Add the Account and try and check if the emails are getting synced automatically.
Hope this is with Single User. If it is with Multiple Users then we need to check the permissions assigned.

I do not use or have not signed up for a MobileMe Account but I am getting duplicates in my iCal for some reason. All discussions I read are pointing to the MobileMe being the problem but it is not. Please help me. There must be another reason.

If you are the original owner of the phone and know the Apple ID and password that were used to activate it originally, and if you have an existing backup to restore from, you can force it into recovery mode (which will completely erase it) and restore it as explained here: If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support. When you do you will encounter activation lock, and will have to provide the ID and password used to activate it originally in order to activate it again. If you can't, you won't be able to activate and use it.

cont contact apple server error please help with ipad touch 4. im just fed up with apple please help me because why is it only apple with these kind of problems?

If you mean updae server
Update Server
Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem
Otherwise what server are you talking about

How do or can I switch gmail account to exchange?

I have a 3rd generation iPod Touch. I updated to iOS5 this summer, but some programs/apps got very slow, but the biggest, consistent problem is the Calendar app. I'm thinking perhaps this could be related to email and gmail. So here are my questions about email settings.
I want to try switching my "gmail" account to "exchange." Is this a good idea, would it help with push capability and perhaps be better for calendar too? Will it conflict and be a problem to have 2 "exchange" accounts or will they cause problems with each other?
I have 2 email addresses / accounts that get email on my iPod. They are both @gmail.com addresses set as IMAP.
One is set as: "Gmail" with Mail, Calendars and Notes "ON." This account is my main account and in the last couple of months, my email no long "pushes" to the device (i.e. it won't show up in notifications center, or download at all until I go to the inbox screen). When you go to look at the settings of this "gmail" account there is no slide bar about mail folders to push, it's just not there.
The 2nd is set as "exchange" with "Mail" only turned on. (I read an article way back that said this is the way to have 2 email addresses that stay separate but can be checked on one device.) This email account does "push" new messages as there is a slider bar that has this option turned on.
So the questions are above and here to:
1. Can I switch a "gmail" account set up on iPod Touch to "exchange." If so, how do I do this? Will I lose all data (email, calendar, notes) and info currently downloaded to the device? Will it all come back if I make a change?
2. Will this work with the 2nd "exchange" gmail account? Will it keep the 2 email addresses separate with different inboxes and folders as they are in gmail? Will there be any conflict or corruption or funky problems having 2 "exchanges"?
3. Any sense of whether "exchange" is better for gmail calendar functionality too? I have a horrible time with the Calendar app simply not working, it freezes, it shows everything blank but when I quit and reload it sometimes comes back and all my data is there. I've downloaded other calendar apps (Week Calendar and CalenMod) and they also have problems so I feel it's got something to do with how the wifi sends info to the device.
Thanks!
iPod Touch 3rd generation, iOS 5.1.1. Syncs to MB Pro running OS 10.6.8.

Okay, thanks for the article and the heads up that exchange is going away soon. But that article is talking about setting up a "gmail" account in settings which is what I have already and push doesn't seem possible this way. Is there another or better option to have 2 separate email gmail accounts fetching and pushing data to one device?

Hi, did you set it up as POP or IMAP?
It's normal that all eMail on the server will download to the computer you setup a new account on.

When I check my email on my iphone it disables my PC outlook account with error 0x80042108 - HELP

When I check my email on my iphone it disables my PC outlook account with error 0x80042108 - HELP
If I modify the seetings for retrieval - Push etc it fixes the PC problem until I check my email on my phone again when it once again holds the email account open. Is there a setting where it will check for mail and then stop the connection?

If you are using an Exchange or IMAP account, that's the way it works. Exchange and IMAP synchronize fully between the server and all clients. If you want to keep a particular message unread, then flag it as unread after you read it.

Hi Veronika,
The <jsp:usebean> is used for only javabeans not EJB (Enterprise javabean). You said that you have deployed SpellCheck.jar to the JRun server. So that must be an EJB. Where are you accessing this EJB from in your JSP? ARe you doing it inside the projsp.SpellCheck javabean? If yes, can you post some code from the javabean.
Cheers
