Setting up GMAIL Account only for calendar access

I wanted to ask the Board Members if they had any experience with this, before I mess up my Z10.
I need to access a Google Calendar, and add its contents to my calendar on the Z10 constantly updated. Otherwise I use the Link software with USB with Outlook 10 and use the BBLink Calendar account on my device. Right now I don't link Gmail with my Z10 and I don't intend to.
As I tried to set it up, it seems that Google wants to access my device, set up an email account, sync my contacts. I stopped the setup and did not move forward.
I have the leaked OS 10.2.0.1371, which is awesome, BTW and and I have the add Subscribed Calendar option in the add new account settings, but I was unable to do so after I tried www.google.com as the server address or the link google provides in the calendar setting option..
Is there any way to add a GMAIL account with syncing the mail, contacts, just getting a 1-way sync of a calendar?
Alex
Solved!
Go to Solution.

During the setup process, you may be (depends on your OS level) presented with several different screens, some will appear to come from GMail, and others from BlackBerry. One of those may make statements about wanting to authorize the set up calendar, contacts, and emails...but that particular screen will not provide any options but to accept or cancel. This screen is actually just informative...saying that you must accept if you wish to be able to use ANY of those, but that screen does not actually configure any of them. When you accept this first screen, it will proceed to other screens, one of which is where you will actually choose which of the functions you wish to integrate (calendar, contacts, and/or email)...simply slide to OFF those you do not wish to enable.
Good luck!

2 gmail accounts, how can I access both of them?

I just got the Droid. I have 2 gmail accounts, one for work and the other personal. How can I view them both? I added both accounts and have 2 icons. But both icons are currently showing work emails.
Thanks for any help anyone can give me!

If you have both accounts set up, once your in your default gmail account, click Menu (the spot with 4 horizontal lines) and then touch "Accounts". This should bring up a screen allowing you to select the account that you want to view.

Unable to set up gmail account

I have opened an email account with gmail on the Google website. I have tried to set this gmail account to open in my Mac mail, but it will not receive emails and is telling me that port 110 has timed out. Is anyone able to help? Thanks

Hi, so you set it up as POP instead of IMAP?
If POP, is the 2nd method here how you did it?
http://email.about.com/od/macosxmailtips/qt/et_gmailosxmail.htm
Also...
Gmail send but not receive...
Here are two steps that have come in handy in related situations
1) login to gmail on your computer or device via a web browser
2) once logged in successfully, go to this URL to unlock:

How do I set my Gmail account to store/ sync 3G's Address and calendar ?

HELP
Well the worst happened... I upgraded my wife's 3G to V2.1 from 2.0.. I conscientiously made sure the iPhone data was backed up before I ran the upgrade ( iTunes 8 told me it was... and I believed it...) and it all went swimmingly.. that is until I opened her contacts and calendar and then DOH! all empty.
If I understand correctly ( what I should have known before) the contacts and calendar on the 3G must be synched with something to be preserved... *I was not warned of this possibility at any time during the process before it wiped the data... DOH! nope.*
We do not use the Mac Address Book or iCal on Tiger or Leopard. We do not use Outlook/Exchange as of yet. My wife uses her G-Mail account.
Can G-mail be set to store Address Book and calendar information so this does not happen again.. if so HOW?
*I will probably be sleeping on the couch for a week as it is.......*

there is currently no support for syncing your google contacts or google calendar, unless you port them though iCal or Address Book which you can now do in Leopards latest update. You could try that, you should find the option for the address book in its preferences and the calendar under accounts.

Set up gmail account in Apple mail and it only defaults to Pop. How can I get it to allow me IMAP?

I have multiple gmail accounts. Just set up a new one and configured it exactly as I have the others in gmail (enabling IMAP). But when I set it up in Apple Mail, it automatically sets it up as a Pop account. I cannot find a way to set it up manually...there is no check box that I can find to do this in the set up window. I have repeated the steps several times and it always defaults to Pop. So...how can I set it up as an IMAP account?

Got it...have to hold 'Option' button down after putting in name and password and it changes to 'Continue'.

TS3988 Help - How do I manage to remove an IOS device, in this case an IPhone 4S, from my Apple ID account? I want to use this account only for my IPAD

Hi,
I have managed to initially set up our two IOS devices - my wifes IPhone 4S and my IPAD 2 - in a not so smart way.
I used the same Apple ID account for both devices.
As such it worked, however after a few days we decided to have two different Apple ID accounts, one for each device.
I made a new Apple ID account for my wifes Iphone, and kept the old account for my IPAD.
This is as well working now with both these accounts, however I have found out that my wifes IPhone is still registered under my account.
This I will like to have rectified and cleared, i.e. I want my wife's phone cleared from my Apple ID account, so that my Apple ID account only contain information related to my IPAD 2.
My wife's Apple ID account for her IPhone 4S works fine and we do not need to change anything for this account.
However, how can I clear/edit my own account, so that it only contain information about my IPAD?
For example, when I use the Apps "Find My Iphone" I can see that the system is trying to locate both my IPAD and my wife's IPhone 4S, when I have logged on with my Apple ID account no. This show that one way or the other both devices are registered under my Apple ID account.
I will appreciate some assistance to tell how to rectify this matter,
Regards,
Morten

Setting up gmail account on iPhone.

Hi, I have a new iphone and I'm trying to set up my gmail existing account. I'm using the same gmail password that I'm using to access my gmail account on my Mac Book laptop, but my phone keeps rejecting the password. I don't have any other passwords so I'm not sure of what to do or whom to ask for advice. I'm hoping there is someone clever and helpful out there in Apple Land who can point me in the right direction. Many thanks, your answers are very much appreciated. Martina.

Copied from Google Support:
Invalid Password Prompt. If you see an error message that reads "Invalid Password", it's likely that you'll need to unlock your account by solving a short CAPTCHA. Go to https://www.google.com/accounts/UnlockCaptcha and, if asked to, fill in your email address, password, and the letters in the CAPTCHA box.

No Print by Email from Gmail Account Only

M127 LaserJetPro successfully prints from every email except the gmail address the account is registered to. Email from others show up in the collections list, but nothing from the gmail account.
The printer is set to "open to anyone" in device settings, and if I switch to "Allowed senders only," the gmail account shows up in the allowed list.
I have triple-check for the correct printer email address, I have made sure to send plain text with no signature or attachment, but still noting.
Any ideas what to check next?

Hi lamarche,
Welcome to the HP Support forums. I see that you were having difficulties sending an ePrint job from a Gmail address.
Are you still experiencing this issue? I have checked with HP’s Cloud Services and I know that just recently there was a minor service disruption with Gmail being able to successfully send print jobs to any of the HP ePrint printers but it should now be resolved.
If you are still experiencing this issue, please call HP’s Cloud Services at 1-855-785-2777 if you live in the USA/Canada region. If you live outside the USA/Canada region please click here to find the Technical Support number for your country/region.

Can't set up gmail account in 10.7.5 Apple Mail

Mail on my daughter's MB deals with her Yahoo account splendidly. But when I tried to add her gmail account, it balked. I accessed gmail via the web and turned on IMAP and save changes, then I added the account. The response was that Mail couldn't access gmail because either the username or password was wrong. So I tried the same whole routine, except this time setting it up as a POP account. Same lack of joy. I shut down and restarted. I repaired permissions. I even found a seemingly smart person on another thread who asked the other person with a similar problem to do a Lookup in Network Utility. So I did, and what I got from that effort (below) looks to me like the computer can find gmail without any difficulty.
So I'm lost. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Lookup has started…

Is your daughter using 2-step Verification on her gmail account? If yes, then you need to create app-specific password to be able to use mail application. More info and how to on Google documentation page.

Is there a way to sync gmail accounts, contacts and calendar to my android phone through iCloud?

I have an iMac, a MacBook Pro, an iPad, an iPod Touch, and an Android phone. I can get iCloud to sync all my mail, calendars, and contacts across all my Apple devices with no problem. Does anybody know if there is a way to get my Android to sync my calendars and contacts from iCloud?

I set up manual accounts with my iPhone 3G. You can try to enter the server accounts for iCloud manually on you Android device and try it out.
