Setting up my Gmail account on the iphone!!!!

I keep trying to setup my gmail account. I input my username and password correctly, but then when it trys to verify it says CANNOT CONNECT USING SSL...DO YOU WANT TO TRY SETTING UP THE ACCOUNT WITHOUT SSL. I say yes and then it says it CANNOT GET MAIL. What do I do?!!!

do you have POP enabled in your gmail account?
login to gmail, go to settings in the upper right hand corner
click on "forwarding and pop"
enable for all mail that arrives from now on.
save changes.
try ipod again.

  • Trying to setup a gmail account on the iphone, keeps saying the password or user name is incorrect, what to do next?

    can anyone please help with the email setup on the iphone? Trying to use gmail as it comes up in the setup account option. Keeps saying the password or username are incorrect.

    Are you using gmail 2 step verification? If so you have to use an application-specific password.

  • HT201320 I'm having trouble setting up my gmail account on my iPhone

    I've put everything in correctly but it's still not working (i.e. incoming and outgoing servers)

    Just use the 'gmail' option when setting it up. There should be no reason to set up incoming/outgoing servers.  Google is killing support for Google Sync (i.e. Gmail set up as an Exchange account) for non corporate customers.

  • Gmail not working on browser or in setting up a gmail account

    I am new to using my MacBook and have been trying to set up my gmail account--says the password is invalid.  Tried to log in using Safari--no luck there either.  My password works on PC's.
    I have tried repairing the disk, updated computer--no luck.
    Is there another procedure before I get here.  I watched teh videos on Apple but no help there either.

    Are you trying to log into the same Google account on any computer?
    Are you logging out of Google?
    I remember giving a class once on how to setup a Google email account, it wouldn't let me make multiple accounts on the same machine, or from the same IP address when I switched machines.
    However Google search should work fine if your logged out.
    Only think I can thinkk of is you got malware on the PC and it changed the DNS settings on the router, working with the PC to divert your Google traffic elsewhere.
    I would reset the router, update it's firmware, make a new SSID and password, and then try with a single Mac, to work out the bugs, then the second Mac and finally roll up the PC last.

    Unable to Sync emails to car's HU over bluetooth. I am using iphone 5 and have set up a gmail account on it. Also, the basis notification settings mentioned on some site have been done.I tried doing the following still the email sync is not working.?
    Here's the step by step:
    1. Go to Settings --> Notifications --> Mail --> Select any of your email accounts
    2. Notification Center: ON
    3. Alert Style: Banners or Alerts (I've only tested it to work with Banners...)
    4. Show Preview: ON
    5. View in Lock Screen: ON

    Hi uneleashurself and thanks for your answer.
    Forgive my language but getting to talk to the Safaricom customer service is a real pain in the **bleep** - if you ever get to talk to them, that is.
    I've never got an answer to my phone calls in three years and their customer assistans in the shops usually have no clue about whatever it is you're asking them.
    I talked to a few of them in a couple of different Safaricom shops and they didn't know what I was talking about.
    Still, I believe Safaricom is not the problem as other people I know who have a BlackBerry on Safaricom haven't experienced this problem.

  • When I try to set up my gmail account to imap on iphone 4s it says it doesn't recognize my password for gmail

    When I try to set up my gmail account on imap on iphone 4s it says it doesn't recognize my password even though my gmail account works on my computer.

    Try it both with and without the @gmail part.
    At one time it was optional, now Gmail seems to want the entire username.
    If that doesn't fix it, sign out from your computer and and log in again, but type the password to verify it is really correct. There is no mystery to it, Gmail will work with the correct name and password.

  • I have an iPhone and iPad on the same account.  I gave my iPad to my daughter.  Can I set up a new account for my iPhone only so I can back up photos, etc, in privacy?

    If you set up a new account on your iPhone you won't have access to all the data associated with the prior Apple ID.

  • HT1277 why i cannot set up my exchange account into my iphone 4s.  everything that needs to input has been provided right, but error says cannot get email not connected to the srver.where seems to be the problem?pls help.btw,i have an outlook for macbook

    please help me find out the solution to the problem.
    My iphone 4S was not able to fetch mails from the server ( outgoing and incoming)
    I was trying to configure my exchange account and follow all the procedures correctly but am having trouble in sending and receiving mails as the error says " cant get mails cannot connect to the server?  where seems to be the problem?
    Have read from the support services that if you using a Pop3 account into another device which I did ( my email was configured via outlook for mac in my macbook) there might be a lock out problem and cannot get emails on the second device which is my iphone?  ( I want to set up my exchange account to my iphone so wherever and whenever i go i cant still access to my email easily. Please help.

    No one seems to be hearing what Big Q is saying.
    He can pair his iPhone to his Macbook, but cannot CONNECT. He's NOT asking for alternative solutions, like Wi Fi.
    I am able to both pair and connect my one one Macbook to my other one, but I can only pair but not connect my iPhone or iPad to either Macbook. So I have the same problem. But I can pair and connect my Macbooks to other Bluetooth devices, like my ancient Nokia cellfone, or my Bluetooth HP printer.
    It's irrelavent that I can instead use a direct USB cable or Wi Fi between my Macbooks and my iPhone/iPad - why can't I use Bluetooth? If Apple does not allow Bluetooth between it's Macbooks and other Mac devices, then why have Bluetooth at all? Does my iPhone have Bluetooth only so that I can pair and connect to my my non Apple mobile handsfree car kit, or communicate easily with the dreaded Apple enemy Samsung, or what?
    Make no mistake , I am a diehard Apple fan, but this Bluetooth non compatibility issue appears shortsighted and seemingly pointless. Why does Apple not just say why they created the non compatibility, or have a message on the Bluetooth setup programme which simply and clearly says "don't bother wasting hours of your time trying to pair and connect your iPhone to your Macbook, because we don't allow that anymore, reason being that............"?
    As a first time user of this Forum I am surprised at the intolerant and highhanded tone of some of the replies  to what is a legitimate question, that is obviously plagueing many, many other Apple users.

  • I tried to share a photo using e-mail and when I set up my gmail account I typed in the wrong user name and password.  Now i can't share photos using e-mail.

    I tried to share a photo using e-mail and when i set up my gmail account I typed in the wrong user name and password.
    Now I can't send a photo because i get an error message saying the user name and password do not match.
    How do i save a new gmail user name and password??

    iPhoto Menu ->
    Preferences ->

    Delete and recreate your email settings.
    Alternatively, use Apple's Mail for the job. It has Templates too - and more of them.

  • TS3899 How do you fix a gmail account on an iPhone 4G that stops downloading messages into the InBox?

    How do you fix a gmail account on an iPhone 4G that stops downloading messages into the InBox?  My gmail gave me a notice that said imap.gmail.com is not responding.  Can send emails out but cannot download new messages into Inbox.

    Hi! So I finally found a disk cleaning kit and tried it out. No luck : (
    The exact thing that occurs is:
    Put disk in. It does not show up. Cannot get it out.
    Turn computer on and off.
    Message comes up saying it cannot read the disk and if I would like to erase the disk or eject it.
    Then I eject it.
    That's the whole of the cycle.
    So do you think that just means it;s busted and no other way I can solve it but go with the external drive at this point?
    I appreciate the help.

    Make sure that your Apple ID is your email address and you do not have any other or old IDs associated with you. Go to www.appleid.apple.com and confirm this info. Make sure that the email address you are trying to sign up with is your primary one.

    having issue setting up email account on the iphone.  Going into settings mail, contacts, calendars...it goes back to the welcome screen.  How do I delete all email accounts and set up from scratch?

    I was having the exact same issue.  It was driving me crazy.  Just as a fluke, I tried logging in to my wife's account on the verizon.net website to se if I had a bad password or something.  As soon as I logged in on my computer, her account verified & installed on her iphone.  I have no idea why, but it worked.
