Signing in to gmail using safari

I can no longer sign in to one gmail account on my ipad2 (there is no issue logging into my other gmail account) using safari. Nothing was changed, one minute i could access both gmail accounts with ease, the next only one, with no changes made to anything! Initially it looks like it will load, the wcreen flashes momentarily and then bounces me back to the log in screen. Does anyone have any troubleshooting tips?

Hi Eric, thank you for your suggestion; however, i had cleared the history earlier today, which didn't work. I signed in through a couple of browsers on my pc to see if there was any variability between the 2 accounts but there wasn't; and i opened and compared my 2 gmail accounts in safari on my pc to see if anything was different, one had the imap access enabled and the other didn't (the one i can't access from my ipad). i enabled it, cleared history again, and tried again - same thing, the account looks like it will load, it flashes on with a no new email (when there is as i sent some to myself!) and then it bumps to a please wait screen and then bumps right back out to the initial login screen. it's driving me nuts!

Why can't I sign into any website using Safari on my iPhone?

No matter the website, it will not recognize my password into the site. I don't understand. I can't sign into my school site, check my bank account, sign into paypal. Why won't it let me? I've double, triple, quadruple checked my passwords and they're all correct because I sign on my Macbook with them, but why can't I sign in on my phone? I even downloaded Chrome and they alll worked on Chrome on my phone. But I don't want to use Chrome Help me please?

I already looked at that discussion but cookies are enabled, and I never use private browsing. When I try to sign in it says that the login failed. It doesn't matter what website I'm on (except apple for some reason I can sign in on apple.com) it doesn't recognize my password. I've typed in everything correctly a dozen times. But Safari had saved my passwords before this started happening so the reason I know the passwords are correct is because I saved them on safari and would just go to the website sign in and my password was saved so id log in and it would work. But now it doesn't. And I don't know why. It works on my computer so I know the passwords are right. But why can't the websites on safari on my iphone recognize my passwords?

How do I get to gmail using safari?

When I enter www.gmail.con in safari it reverts to www.gmail.com/mail/mu/mp460#tl/inbox. I cannot get to the real web site.

I don't have a gmail account and I don't know what the "460" link is, but this is where that link takes me.
Clearing the history will do no good at all. It is the data that you have to clear in the cache if you having an issue trying to log onto a particular site, but if you don't want to clear the data, that is certainly your choice.

Can't use gmail in Safari - can get mail but not send or reply

I can't send or reply to emails in gmail when using Safari? Only get error message that it was "unsuccessful and try again." But then can't
even delete it or close it out - just keeps going back to that same error message. Have to quit gmail to get it back. Can receive all
the emails no problem.

Exact same problem here. IMHO, I think it started when Software Update installed the latest version of Java. Can't be certain about that though.
I AM able to send/reply via Firefox, however.
MacBook, MacOSX 10.6.8

I can't attach a file in Gmail using Firefox, I can attach files when using Chrome and Safari, so it must be Firefox.
I've tried all the other suggestions for making things work, but nothing works so far, and it started yesterday afternoon

Type mail.google.com in address of website area
Click Allow
Try to open attachment window now.
Restart FireFox and try adding attachment again.

TS3899 After upgrading to IOS 7, the only options Gmail gives using Safari or mail to attach files are attaching a camera roll file or draw a scribble. How can I attach a PDF or word doc? I was able to do so using IOS 6.

If you mean in Dock then you have moved the Safari application or the application is missing as in deleted.

Pasted image into gmail disappears when using Safari

Pasted image into gmail disappears when using Safari
I recently upgraded to Mavericks (after having a lot of seemingly unrelated trouble with my Macbook Pro (early 2011))
Since then, when I create a new message in gmail, and paste in a screen shot (captured with command-control-shift-4), the image shows up nicely. But after I hit send, the image disappears. It doesn't show up to the recipient, and when I look at my sent mail, it doesn't show up there either. There's nothing, no icon showing where the image should be, just empty space in the message. This seems to happen in Safari, but seems to works fine when creating the message in Chrome. (please, restrain yourself from telling me "Duh. Use Chrome." I know it's tempting, but my computer has some issues and Chrome doesn't always work.) If I create the same sort of message in Chrome, and then go to Safari gmail, I can see the image just fine. So it appears to be something about keeping the image attached to the content of the message while sending (vs. a viewing problem).
I know when Mavericks was installed, I had to install something in Safari for Adobe docs to show up again. Is there something I need to install so that images will stay attached to the content of gmail messages again?
Thanks

After you click Download (the attachment) from your Safari menu bar click Window / Downloads.
Right or control click the file in the Downloads window then click: Show in Finder
I'm not sure if you can designate another folder for downloading web based attachments to, however, instead of accessing your Gmail
account using Safari, you can set up the Gmail account from the Mail app on your hard drive. Mail preferences allow you to choose the
folder you want to use for downloaded files.
To add an account:
Choose File > Add Account or click the Add button in the Accounts pane of Mail preferences.
Enter information about the user.Mail searches for the information it needs to finish setting up your account. If it can’t find the information, continue to the next step.
Enter information about the incoming and outgoing mail servers, review the account summary, and then click Create.For information about options, click the Help button (looks like a question mark).If you don’t want the account to be active immediately, deselect the “Take account online” checkbox. You can take the account online later.
If you aren’t sure about the information to enter, contact your email service provider before you begin. When you talk with your provider, you can use the Mail settings “cheat sheet” available using the link below to record settings you might need to set up an account. If you’re switching from another application to Mail, use the cheat sheet to record information for each account you want to switch.

When using gmail on safari, there is white tie on the top

when using gmail on safari, there is white tie on the top and I don't know why it is.

Might be a third party plugin or extension causing this ...
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Security tab.
Deselect: Allow all other plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.
If it's not a plug-in issue, select the Extensions tab. If there are any extensions installed, turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test. If that made a difference, uninstall one at a time, quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the culprit.

Problems checking gmail account using Safari

Hi there! I am having problems checking my gmail account using Safari. I can get to the site, log in, but as soon as it starts loading the page, my safari just freezes. Does anyone else have this same problem? If anyone knows a solution, i would greatly appreciate a little help. Also, i've relocated to another country, so i don't have access to an apple support center. but i would really like to get this problem solved on my own. Thanks much!!
