Sporadic gMail Connect/Sync Failure?

Occasionally TBird fails to sync/connect my gMail account. The symptom is a spinning "progress" indicator for the InBox tab and mouse pointer. Web check of gMail account shows new mail that should appear under TBird. Other connected mail services continue to work fine.
Possible that Android link to gMail and delete of messages from phone related to this issue?
PC reboot generally fixes.
I don't see anything in the "Error Console" that would seem related to the problem.
TBird version 24.3.0 under Windows v8.1
Thanks,
Bob

I would suggest turning off the phone and seeing if it truly is related. It most certainly could be and turning it off would certainly answer the question

Sync failure because itunes cannot connect to the sync server PLEASE HELP!!

HELP! I cannot get my info back into my iphone.
During sync I get an error message that says 'sync failure because itunes cannot connect to the sync server''
I have had this problem today so i restored the iphone and it has synched the ipod portion but will not sync calenders, contacts , email accounts or bookmarks.
The restore erased all of these and now i cannot replace them.
Thank you in advance for any help in solving this crisis.

I had the same problem (not from day one but within the past couple months). Anyway, I wish I had made note of everything that the quick-and wonderful-Apple support did when I finally decided to give them a call today-after getting tired of not being able to update calendars and contacts and not seeing any helpful info here-unfortunately, I continue that legacy (as I can't remember everything I had to do to fix-sorry) Ultimately involves creating a new user I called mine IPHONE...then doing some of this and that-and finally merging info and going to "Terminal" and typing in some code...then deleting some of the old files, Took about twenty-minutes on the phone. Sorry I didn't think ahead for others and write al this down...but just know the Apple people were great. I talked to a gal for about ten minutes very methodically trouble-shooting. When nothing worked she shifted me over to a real nice guy who calmly and politely guided me through all the steps to fix this annoying problem. I hate to say it, but just get on the phone and-if you have the same experience as me-you will get 5 Star treatment and your sync will work like a dream. Every time I have to contact Apple Support (which isn't that often) my experience is nothing but the best. Unbelievable customer service! Methodical, Personable, and truly knowledgeable! There is a fix and it works like a dream. Not that hard but you'll need customer service to walk you through it-as I can't (sorry I can't be of much help...) Good luck!

Help! Lost Gmail connection

My gmail had been working flawlessly on my iPod.. up until yesterday. It now says "Invalid Credentials." Any idea?
I am thinking this had something to do with my Internet Setting because I played with its security settings. Under "Trusted Sites" tab, I unchecked, forgot what it said, but I think it said "flounders" The name sounded strange and since I didn't know how it was added there, I deleted it. Now I am wondering it was one of gmail setting that I should not have deleted. Could anyone check their "Tools - Internet Options - Security - Trusted Sites" and see if the name "flounders" or something like that appear?
Thanks.

lost gmail connection!
Yes the same error came up too- quite randomly I lost connection on both my mac and ipod to gmail. It kept on coming up with my password. I entered it and it said that it was wrong.. So I went to gmail and changed my password...Groan now it doesnt work.
I recently updated to 1.1.3 on the ipod and then I read that it had something to do with IMAP? So I changed gmail to imap and it doesnt work either.
Only now I get the error message invalid credentials (Failure).
Im not one to fiddle with things if they work..but it seems that Gmail is G-poked!
I can log on using safari but its hardly as convenient.
I went with gmail because its meant to play nice with apple..my other email accounts work ok..
but they are pop.
Is there anyone that can help??!!!

Outlook to iPhone sync failure – Sync suddenly stopped working for calendar events but continued for contacts and notes.   Finally Fixed!!! SUPPORT TEAM – PLEASE SEE THIS – Complete explanation of cause and correction steps.

The issue: Outlook to iPhone sync failure – Sync suddenly stopped working for calendar events but continued for contacts and notes.   Finally Fixed!!!
SUPPORT TEAM – PLEASE SEE THIS – Complete explanation of cause and correction steps.
The cause: It is now clear what caused this problem. For years I had several “all-day” events in my Outlook calendar (birthdays, anniversaries, etc.). In May 2012 I decided to make some of them one hour events so I could add alerts to remind me of the event. I did this by dragging them in Outlook to the time I wanted and expanding them to the time slot desired and then adding the alarm.
The symptom: Syncing stopped working for the calendar but continued working for contacts and notes. I didn’t realize sync was failing until months later when I missed two very important phone calls, so when I noticed it the cause was not obvious.
The failed attempts: I’m head of a software firm and my calendar sync is a crucial to my business life so I took this on with a vengeance. From a quick look at events in Outlook and the iPhone I could see that the problem started in May 2012. Events before May were in both Outlook and the iPhone but events after May were only one or the other. Unfortunately I had changed several other things at the same time relating to other events so again the cause was not obvious. MANY calls with AppleCare proved them incompetent so my internal IT guys assisted trying many things. We tried a huge number of calendar changes and several versions of iTunes, iPhone OS and Office as well as both iPhone 4 and 5, all without success.
The fix: After 18 months of frustration, MANY hundreds of $ expense and MANY hours of wasted time I saw a blog that had a calendar sync problem and it indicated all day events were related. I changed the display of the Outlook calendar to the list view, added columns so I could see “all day” event check marks as well as times of events, sorted on the “all day” event column to move them to the top, and for all events that were “all day” events AND had a start and end time, I removed recurrence and then added the annual recurrence back…
After I fixed all events that had BOTH “all day” set and had a start/end time, I tried another sync. It synced for the first time in 18 months!
Problem occurred May 2012 – fixed Nov 2013

Hi, to remove dummy '_ModGrp' entries, rather than crashing the 'Suppr' key on your keyboard, you can use this basic VBA macro (launched for instance from Excel).
It will recursively remove all '_ModGrp...' folders
Sub RemoveFolders_Click()
    Dim oOutlook As Outlook.Application
    Set oOutlook = New Outlook.Application
    Set objNameSpace = oOutlook.GetNamespace("MAPI")
    Call CleanFolders(objNameSpace.Folders)
End Sub
Sub CleanFolders(objFolders As Outlook.Folders)
    For i = objFolders.Count To 1 Step -1
        If Left(objFolders(i).Name, 7) = "_ModGrp" Then
            objFolders.Remove( i )
        Else
            If Not objFolders(i).Folders Is Nothing Then
                Call CleanFolders(objFolders(i).Folders)
            End If
        End If
    Next i
End Sub

IPhone 4s Sporadically not connecting to 3g even though the 3g symbol is displayed.

Hi,
I purchased my iPhone 4s (Simfree) from the Irish online apple store back in November 2011.
Since purchasing I was having a very annoying problem where by the phone would sporadically not connect to 3g but would display all the characteristics it was trying i.e. 3G symbol with little activity circle. The quickest fix was to restart the phone which would work again for a few days until it would happen again.
From experience, it seemed to happen more when I went from WiFi to 3G. If I had to give a guess I would say it was like it just couldn’t make the switch from WiFi to 3g and resulted in no internet when on mobile data. Note: It always worked on WiFi no matter what)
I tried all the usual things like restoring the phone to factory settings and closing all apps running in the background before leaving WiFi but the problem kept appearing.
After months of trying different configs I think I’ve finally solved it.
I enabled “Data Roaming” from settings\general\network and so far so good. The strange thing is, I shouldn’t need “Data Roaming” turned on as I don’t roam. My wife’s iPhone 4 and my last two iPhones all had this function turned off by default.
I decided to post this as it was so annoying; it actually took away from owning the 4s when it should be a joy to own. I only hope this helps someone else with similier problems to my own.
Thanks,
Mark
PS: Remember to turn “Data Roaming” off when traveling or you could end up for some pretty big bills

my wife's iphone 4S has the same problem. All of sudden 3G data is no longer working and battery is draining very fast, to the point that you can see the percent points going down as you look at the phone.
I found a solution on this forum http://www.iphoneforums.net/forum/iphone-help-15/4s-data-not-working-3g-23911/ that seems to fix the data problem at least. Don't know about the battery problem as I have just applied the fix.
I read on the Apple discussion forum about a quick easy fix that the German T-Mobile is telling their customers to do to circumvent this Apple software issue. The phones affected are apparently only the 4S with OS 5.0.1 (9A405). This fix works for about 80% of the 4S phones that have this problem.
Go to:
Settings>Phone>Sim Pin>Sim Pin Off.
You may have to reboot the phone for the change to take effect. The change works on my phone. Good luck. And thanks for nothing, Apple.

Web Matrix FTP Remote Connection Error - "Connection Error - Failure to get file list from server. An entry with the same key already exists."

Does anyone have experience with this issue when connecting to a Linux FTP Web Server running a FTP Site?
"Connection Error - Failure to get file list from server. An entry with the same key already exists."
I cannot access the root directory of the ftp file server using Web Matrix 3. The site is .php based, and
is accessible when connecting with FileZilla or Remote Connecting via FTP with Visual Studio.
All sites have been deleted from Web Matrix, the user Application Data has been cleared and Web Matrix has been reinstalled.
Issue Persists....
Thanks in advance,
Justin

Turns out that the program leaves metadata in your app data folder that is not removed upon uninstallation of the software.
This is incorporated to communicate with a file that uploaded into the ftp directory when publishing pages.

Possible fix for Gmail not syncing after recent update

Hey all,
I've seen at least one person on the forums who's had issues with their Gmail not syncing after the latest update. I thought I would pass along my solution to the problem in case it worked for others. After I updated to the latest version of the iPhone software a couple of days ago, my mail accounts from Gmail were behaving strangely. For one thing, all of my saved e-mails on the iPhone were deleted. For another, it no longer received any e-mail from those accounts. Finally, I decided to test it out by creating a new e-mail account on my iPhone to sync with a disused Gmail address that I had not yet set up for IMAP on my phone. To my surprise, it worked perfectly! Then, after I checked the details of the new e-mail account with those of my existing accounts, I discovered that the incoming server port number was incorrect on the other accounts. It was 995 when it ought to have been 993. When I corrected the port numbers, all of the accounts synced perfectly. I hope that might work for someone else. It was at least worth a post on the forums, I figured. Have a wonderful St. Patrick's day, everyone!

Fantastic! Worked a treat - thanks!
Lucy

Technical Monitoring - DBA Connection red (failure)

Hi experts,
I have the following problem.
In technical monitoring I have one managed system, on which the DB availability check is not working.
The DB is a Sybase ASE 15.7
In solman_setup->system config the DB connection is configured well (green status).
Also if I open the dbacockpit of solution manager, I can see the DB of the managed system and the connection checks are working fine.
But in technical monitoring, I get the alert that the DB is not available and also that "DBA Cokcpit Connection Status" = failure.
If I go to the details of the alert, I also can't see the problem.
I did already remove and add the system more often. Further I also did remove the connection in dbacockcpit and created it again.
But now I don't have any further ideas.
Hopefuly somebody can help me.
Thank you

The problem is that my iphone isnt connected/synced to iTunes and i've forgotten my password so iTunes isnt connected either so can someone pls help me?
PLEASE HELP ME

Hi Someonewashere,
In the article you were coming from, there is actually a section regarding what to do if you have never synced to iTunes before:
If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer
If you see one of following alerts, you need to erase the device:
"iTunes could not connect to the [device] because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the [device] before it can be used with iTunes."
"You haven't chosen to have [device] trust this computer"
If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
Alternatively, place the device in recovery mode and restore it to erase the device:
Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.
iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode

Bonjour iTunes Wireless Sync Failure

Looking to see if anyone has experienced any iTunes Wireless Sync issues: Network setup as follows:
2504 Wireless Controller running 7.6.100.10 and three 1602 AP's set for LOCAL Mode running CAPWAP, and running a Guest WLAN and a User WLAN.
We use a wide variety of Mac products (iPad, Mac Mini, AppleTV, iPhones, MacBooks), and are now experiencing iTunes Wireless sync failures. I have mDNS enabled, mDNS is added to the WLAN's and the interfaces, multicast is tuned on, IGMP snooping enabled, multicast is enabled on the wired infrastructure....the weird thing is all the other Bonjour features are working. We can push desktops to the AppleTV, Stream Music, Print, share files, etc iTunes Wireless Sync is not working. I've been watching the mDNS browser and using the Bonjour Browser on my MacBook and I notice a two odd things:
1) I never see a a Layer 3 Multicast MGID Entry with the Apple Multicast Network (224.0.0.251) populate in the Multicats Window
2) I have the service enabled for ITunesWirelessDeviceSharing (_apple-mobdev._tcp.local.) in my mDNS profile but I never see any device use that sting. While watching the mDNS browser I do occasionally see the follwing: _apple-mobdev2._tcp.local. which is generated from the iPhone 5's. I copied the string and created a new service and added it to my mDNS profile but still no joy.
Any advice would be welcomed
Chad

Itry to sync my iphone 5 ,after saying sync succesful sync failure appears

after getting sync succesful a couple sync failure appears when trying to sync iphone 5 to car

I have re-authorised my computer, but not synced yet.
All Mozy did was to copy everything under C:\Users\Mark Moss\Music\iTunes\iTunes Music, to a backup folder of the same name on mozy.com. So when I restored my hard drive's data, the iTunes was put back.
Under C:\Users\Mark Moss\Music\iTunes\Mobile Applications on my (repaired) laptop, I now don't have any mobile apps listed (I guess I'd forgotten to back those up but in any case they're on my iPhone) so I'm concerned that if I replace my iPhone, I'll lose the apps, which I want to avoid.
