Setting up gmail on iphone or ipad

have set up gmail account on ipad or iphone. On borth devices I get a message saying imap username or password incorrect. Username & password work if I log onto gmail via internet. any ideas?

Your account has most likely been locked by Google. Google does this quite often when setting up mail on a mobile device to stop spammers. That link should have provided you with info on how to unlock your account. Google used to have a captcha unlock page. Look here:

Cannot Set-up gmail in iPhone 5

Hi
This is Sunil Akella from Bangalore, Karnataka, India.
I have recently purchased iPhone-5, and I am not able to set-up gmail account. A smart phone without personal email account is very embarassing to maintain.
I connected to Wifi in my organization, and ensured I am able to connect to the internet and I followed below steps to set-up gmail account.
1- Touch on Mail Icon
2- Select Gmail
3- Provided Name, email, Password and "Next" button.
Now at this stage it pops-up a message saying " Cannot connect Using SSL.. Do you want to try setting up the account without SSL ? Yes/ No
4- I selected Yes
After sometime, one more pop-up message appeared saying
" The IMAP server "imap.gmail.com" is not responding. Check your network connection and that you entered the correct information in the "Incoming Mail Server" field"
I really don't understand, when I am able access any site from the Safari browser in my iPhone, why it says "check your network connection"
I have ensured in my gmail settings : General-:>Browser Connection-> Selected the option : "Don't always use HTTPS"
Forwarding and IMAP/POOP -> IMAP Access : Status says- IMAP is enabled
Please help me in resolving this issue.

I bought an Iphone 5s and just tried to add my google calendar -extra easy to do in an old fashion Samsung, but in the iphone I got this message:
Cannot connect using SSL. Do you want to try setting up the account without SSL, Y/N
I click yes
Then I got a second message
The IMAP server “imap.gmail.com” is not responding. Check your network connection and that you entered the correct information in the “Incoming Mail Server” field.
I clicked OK and nothing happened.
Please help.
I am starting feeling a bit disappointed.

HT4352 Lost my remote. Can I still set up? Using iPhone or iPad?

The remote control is missing and I would like to set up home sharing. Do you have to have the remote or can you use iPhone or iPad?

You need the Remote unless the iDevices are already configured for the unit.
Sounds odd that you should have lost the Remote without even setting up the basics.

I no longer have the sync window on my computer where I can change the setting to sync my Iphone or Ipad

I used to have a window where I can choose what to sync on my windows laptop. Now when I open Itunes I get a window for music only so I can no longer sync my contacts, calendar, notes, etc. to my Iphone or Ipad What happened?

Assuming you're using iTunes 11, when the iPhone is connected to iTunes it will show at the top right just next to the iTunes Store button. Also by pressing Ctrl+S to Show Sidebar you will find the device in the same place it was in iTunes 10

Can't set up gmail on iphone

I am having trouble setting up gmail on my iphone

If you changed your password, and you have 2 step authentication turned on, you need to generate a new device specific password for the phone.

Setting up outlook on iphone and ipad

what are the settings I need to make for Outlook to sync calendars and contacts to my iPhone and iPad and not have duplicate entries.

Hello Kizzyk,
Instructions for syncing with iTunes 12 for Windows are found here.
iTunes 12 for Windows: Sync contacts, calendars, and other info with iPod, iPhone, or iPad
Note:
When you sync, iTunes determines whether your device or your computer contains the most recent information, and lets you choose the information you want to sync.
So if there is the same contact, for example, on both you can choose which to use.
Take care,
Nubz

Cannot set up gmail for iPhone 4

Hi,
I just got an iPhone (thru Verizon) and wanted to set up my Gmail account. However, I keep getting an error message saying "Cannot Get Mail. The use name or password for "imap.gmail.com" is incorrect. I've triple-checked my account and password, and those are right. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks!

i ran into the same problem today when i got my new iphone 4 S and trying to setup my gmail on my iphone 4 S. it was not working until i followed the video on youtube.com.
you do not need to do anything besides follow the steps in the video and it worked for me.
this is the video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gd37Edi0Phc
SOLUTION:
1) Settings
2) Mail, Contacts, Calendars
3) Add Account
4Scroll all the way down on the list and pick Other (DO NOT PICK Gmail from the list - THIS DID NOT WORK for me)
5) Add Mail Account
Name: Your Name
Address: [email protected]
Password: Your Gmail Password
Description: Your Gmail
Incoming Mail Server:
Host Name: imap.gmail.com
User Name: [email protected]
Password: Your Gmail Password
Outgoing Mail Server:
SMTP: smtp.gmail.com
That's it! Good luck

I use tripit on both my iphone and ipad. However, while tripit will sync with the gmail calendar on my iphone, it will not sync with the gmail calendar on my ipad, even though the setting are all in place, correctly for both.

I use the "Tripit" travel app on both my iPhone and iPad2. While I have no problem getting my Tripit info synced to the Gmail Calendar on my iPhone, I am unable to get Tripit to sync to the Gmail calendar on my iPad, even though the setup information (email address, settings, etc.) are exactly the same. I know that Tripit is installed correctly on the iPad, as I am able to go to that app directly and correctly see all of my info. However, even though I've set up the secondary "Tripit" calendar feed (to Gamil) on the iPad, it's not synchronizing and showing up. Is anyone else having this problem?

All I had to do was complain. I synced my iPhone to the Windows machine, checked the other account at iTunes prompting (where no apps had shown up previously), reconnected the iPad, and 140 apps downloaded including the App Store. I have no idea why.

Mail on my iPhone and iPad no longer works on wifi. If I turn wifi off I can connect over the cellular network. I have tried deleting my AOL account and setting it up again as a new account but I still have the same problem.

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.

Gmail push notifications very erratic on iPhone and iPad

iPhone 4S
iOS 6.1.2
iPad 2
iOS 6.1.2
The push notifications on my iPhone and iPad have become very erratic but ONLY for my gmail account. My work exchange account is working fine, in fact flawless.
Symptons: I will receive an email that I can clearly see on gmail.com, but will wait for my iPhone and iPad to notify me and nothing. I'l wait several minutes and still nothing. I wake my iphone and check mail and have to manually pull down to refresh my email. It's not all the time though, it's very sporadic. For instance, if I wait long enough they will eventually show on my lock screen, but it can be several minutes to a half hour or more.
I only noticed this the past few days and I'm almost positive that I just upgraded both my iPad and iPhone to 6.1.2 just last week. I am not sure if I can sum this up to "happening right after the upgrade to 6.1.2" or not. However, it does seem to be a strong coincidence that I just upgraded and now I'm having the problem.
I have both my iPhone and iPad notifications set up the same way for both my email accounts and both have always worked fine and both have become erratic within the last few days. I have not changed any settings. I notice this both when I'm on cellular and when I'm home on my wifi network.
Is this something others are experiencing? Strange that it's both my iPhone and iPad and no settings have changed.
Thanks all for any help you can offer.

I'm not sure if any of you use the gmail exchange support which WAS the only way you could sync email and calendar events and get push notifications for years. Well it's going away, actually it's gone for new sync users. For instance, you can not set up a new phone the way I have my phone set up if you are setting up a new sync account. However, google's article...
http://support.google.com/a/bin/answer.py?hl=en-uk&hlrm=en&answer=2716936
...clearly states that if you were an existing sync customer, you should have no problems. Well, I guess they are sort of trying to "push" people to the new CardDAV. I guess I'll bite and try it out tonight. I am a very old google sync user (iphone 3G, 4 and 4S) and have not changed anything, so from this article I should be fine. Well, I'm not.
I'll definitely try the "new" way and let you all know tonight (or tomorrow morning) how it's going.
Thanks again for the replies.
Support for exchange active sync was dropped by Google for free accounts on Jan 30 of 2013. Apple was prepared for that since November of last year, you can check date on that article.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4872?viewlocale=en_US
Since Gmail still using Card Dav protocol, it allows new devices to sync Contacts. Google mail account takes care of emails and calendars sync by itself. It does have to do with push (you dead on), cause exchange supports push on whole other level, but it has nothing to do with your case. The information that I gave in my first post still stands. It looks like you think you know more then all people that responded to you, but (sorry, still feeling entitled to my humble opinion) you will see your push fixed by itself. Even funnier if you will make some change and it will coincide with google server back online. You will come here and provide us with your "fix".
Perhaps it will be something like "I just changed show emails from 100 to 200."
@applenascent.
The way it works is simple. We do not realize, but google server actually knows what device is connecting to their server to pick mail. I had to replace my wife's ipad on Feb 7. Even when I restored from the icloud back up that for all intents and purposes made that ipad very similar - the account was still there, but simple gmail without exchange. Deleting account and re adding as exchange didn't provide solution. It just showed up as gmail. They even changed server name from m.google.com to google.com.
BTW it is quite possible that aTanasi's trick will fix the problem. I had to start running yahoo and gmail apps running on the background. I do not use them, but if there is a problem with account, like security kicks in harder, app is more capable to address that issue and informs me of what is wrong. I still find native mail app more pleasant, but thanks and credit to aTanasi.

IPhone and iPad linked to the same gmail id

I use the same gmail id for iPhone and iPad. I recently sold my iPhone 4 and upgraded to iPhone 4S. Both are tagged to different phone numbers. However when the person who bought the iPhone from me sends as SMS to his friends, both the sender's message and reciever's SMS are displayed in my iPad.
How can I delink the gmail account of my old iPhone? Will that stop this issue I am facing. Moreover under the current scenario, when I log into gmail to download or buy apps, is this accessible to the person with the old iPhone.
Anyone with solutions/ advise please?

How do I set up a Microsoft outlook email account on my iPhone and iPad?

How do I set up Microsoft outlook email on my iPhone and iPad?

The iPhone does not sync mail message with a desktop client. Only with the server. If bigpond doesn't have adequate server side mail filtering, maybe you should create a gmail account for yourself and set that up on the phone.
You can configure gmail to fetch the mail from your bigpond account. The server side filtering on gmail is excellent. I see very little spam and there are very few false positives.

Ok Apple users...Is there a way to delete e-mails on my Mac and not have to delete the same e-mails on my iPhone, and iPad...and vise-versa. I have the Cloud, and thought that everything would sync all of the time. If you know of a setting I need to adjust, please let me know.

Are you referring to @mac.com, @me.com or @icloud.com emails? Or some other email providers emails?
If the former, it should do that automatically. If the latter, no. iCloud does not (nor is it supposed to) sync non-Apple provided emails.

HT1459 Just bought a new ipod shuffle for my kid and cannot set it up because it does not show up in itunes. Also the charging light does not light up. what could be wrong, as i am able to see both my iphone and ipad on itunes on the same pc?

Just bought a new 4th gen iPod Shuffle for my kid. Problem is I cannot do the initial set up, as the device does not show up on iTunes on my PC. Also the charging does not light up. Any ideas on what could be wrong, as I am able to see both my iphone and iPad on iTunes using the same PC?

I also tried manually underlining a few things on the new iPad and when highlighting a paragraph, it would skip a few lines and the line would go through a few as well. Looks like a major iBooks glitch needs to be addressed here.
