Syncing Gmail as Exchange connection broken

Just upgraded two iPhone 3GS's to iOS 4 and the Exchange synced accounts for Gmail quit working. I get an error "Connection to the server failed."
These are accounts that have been working forever under iPhone OS 3.x. I'm also seeing other people reporting the same problem via Twitter.
I can work around the problem by using the Gmail connection but I can't sync contacts with that one. I need my contacts back....
Any help?
Thanks,
Steve

Same problem, I upgraded my 3GS this afternoon. I deleted the account, tried to add, but again could not connect. However, I tried again and was eventually succesfull. However, it does not look like gmail is "pushing". Also, if I manually "fetch", the header is downloaded immediately, but it takes a while before the body is downloaded. Many of my e-mails I can't get the body to disply at all.

  • Sync iCal - iPhone - Exchange 2007 broken after MobileMe Calendar upgrade

    I need to keep contacts and calendars in sync between my work pc (XP, Outlook 2003, Exchange Server 2010), my home Mac (10.6.6) and my iPhone (3GS, iOS 4.3). Until recently, that worked fine by the following (roundabout) way: PC syncs with Plaxo online via Outlook add-in; Plaxo syncs with Mac; Mac syncs with MobileMe; MobileMe syncs with iPhone. However, the recent upgrade to new MobileMe calendar breaks this workflow, at least for calendar syncing, because Plaxo cannot synchronise with the new CalDAV cloud-hosted calendars. Can anyone suggest another way of getting this to work?
    I thought MobileMe for PC might be a solution, but while it can show MobileMe calendars in Outlook, it can't synchronize them (and it seems not to work with Windows XP). A while back, I tried using Google Calendar as the focal point, but found Google Calendar Sync for Windows created a lot of duplicate items, lost items and general mess.
    PS The office network doesn't run Exchange ActiveSync and does not allow a vpn connection from Mac or iPhone.

    Hi JWilson@ch,
    So I thought I was the only person doing that crazy workflow to get everything synced. I do it exactly the same way.
    I stupidly upgraded to the new MobileMe last year when first invited, and spent the next few days working out how to get it all back and working. I have been happily syncing everything the old way since then.
    My major concern now is that I just received an email from MobileMe today saying I have to upgrade now as they have stopped syncing the old calendar! I haven't checked this yet (I will in a sec), but if I have to upgrade, that means I lose everything that has worked so well since MobileMe started.
    My crappy work Blackberry is useless for mirroring my Outlook calendar, so syncing my work onto the much more user friendly iPhone had been a saviour. Now I have all of my work and personal appointments in the same place, and I never miss anything.
    What to do now? Is there another way to get my PC calendar onto my iPhone, apart from the Exchange Activesync option which my office also doesn't support.
    I'll hold out as long as I can...

  • Exchange connection broken after update?

    Used to use exchange to connect to work e-mail from my razr maxx.  Phone made a forced update today and now I cannot get my exchange e-mail to connect (Connection to Server Failed).
    I've looked around the internet - only real suggestion I've found is to delete & re-add the account.  I've tried to do that a number of times, but when it tries to set up, it can't connect to server.
    What do I need to do?

        Kosenga, Exchange email is such an important part of a smartphone and I want to make sure yours is working correctly. The next software update will include some enhancements to Exchange, but you should still be able to connect now. Which software version do you show in Settings, About, Software? The next step I recommend is completing a factory reset http://bit.ly/PfOnz8.
    Please let me know if you need further assistance after this.

  • Sync Zone can't connect to Gmail

    Hi,
    My Sync Zone can't connect to my Gmail Account. Domain name is [email protected]. All is proper set up but it fail atthe connection.
    Is anybody having the same issue?
    Does it exist any alternative to synchronize contact and calendar with my Xperia Ion?
    Thank you for your help
    Ju!

    This could be caused by a firewall blocking PC Companion from connecting to the internet. If you have a firewall installed, make sure it's set to allow PC Companion.
    If your internet connection goes through a proxy you may also have to enter your proxy in PC Companion. Click PC Companion settings at the top right and then go to proxy settings.
    If you use MS Outlook with MS Exchange you could also synchronize directly with MS Exchange from the phone. Go to Settings -> Accounts and sync in the phone and add a new account with your settings (you get these from your IT-department).
    You could also try the 3:rd party application MyPhoneExplorer from www.fjsoft.at.

  • Mail for Exchange 3.0.50 - doesn' t sync Gmail any...

    I have been using successfully Mail for Exchange v. 2.9.158 on my Nokia N95-1 to access Gmail and Google Calendar. Yesterday I have upgraded to Mail for Exchange v.3.0.50 and now I am facing the following problems: 1.When running Full Resync Mail for Exchange has forced the set storage destination for message to be changed from Memory Card to Phone Memory When I tried to make Full Resync with Mail for Exchange it at the end it forced to switch from using Memory card for storing messages to Phone memory. According message has been displayed stating that Memory card can not be used to store emails and therefore it switched to Phone memory. However at that moment there was enough extra space on both kinds of memories , and that one on Memory card was larger than available space on Phone Memory. I do not want to use Phone memory to store my emails as N95 Phone memory is so small. So then after Mail for Exchange finished a synchronization cycle I have switched again to Memory card option as a destination of all my messages - and Mail for Exchange has created MfE on Memory card too. I made few attempts, by disabling Email sync and then running Full Resync again, the result was the same/ After that I started to experience problem with synchronization that I never had with version 2.9.158. 2. Synchronization of email except starting Full Sync and few cycles afterward doesn't work anymore and provides on each synchronization cycle an error message "sync failed. If that continues please contact your administrator". When I switch storage to Phone Memory, however, evn with such message sync work. When I switch storage to Memory Card then after sync cycle there are all IMAP folders in place but all empty. My configuration setting now set as following: Connection Exchange Server: m.google.com Secure Connection: Yes Access Point: DTAC-Internet Sync while roaming: No Use default port: Yes * Credentials Username: [my email] Password: [my password] Domain: [empty] *Sync schedule: Peak sync schedule: Every 15 minutes Off-peak sync schedule: Every 15 minutes Peak start time: 08:00 Peak end time: 17:00 Peak days Mo. Tu, We, Th, Fr In case of conflict erver Wins *Calendar Synchronize Calendar: Yes Sync Calendar back: 6 months Initial Sync: Keep items on phone * Tasks Synchronize Tasks: No * Contacts Synchronize Contacts: Disable Initial Sync: * E-mail Synchronize Email: Yes E-mail address : [my email address] Show new mail popup: Yes Use signature: No Signature: None When sending mail: Send immediately Sync messaged back : 1 day How I can resolve it problem?

    UP!
    I have absolutely the same trouble.
    When I sync gmail for the first time everything goes clear. After that I CAN recieve NEW mail on my phone on next syncs. I mean NEW is the mail, that haven't been read before with any other client.
    But if I read this mail on other client, say in browser, the synchronization doesn't work anymore. I recieve no mails from that point.
    Regards.
    P.S. went back to 2.9.158, everything works well

  • Connecting to gmail through exchange

    On my IPhone 4S I connect to google using the exchange connection to google.  It works great and picks up mail, calendar and CONTACTS!
    On my new Ipad I tried the same exact settings and it fails to connect to my google gmail account.  All the seetings appear to be exactly the same as my phone.
    HELP!

  • TS3398 I have lost my contacts that were entered into my iphone in addition to those that are synced from my exchange account. Iphone is only showing email addresses, no contacts with phone numbers.

    Two days ago my phone locked up and when I could access again, my contact list was only a few names and email addresses.  ALL phone numbers wiped from the phone.  I have been using google sync for three years to sync contact and calendar to gmail and then sync gmail to iphone, and it has been seemless.  I would think this was the problem, however the contacts and phone numbers that were added directly the phone are no longer on the phone either....which point to a phone problem.
    I went home, to update but ended up having to "restore" from backup, which I did.  The contacts were visible for less than 24 hours, but then disappeared again the next day.  I have tried forums for google sync as that would solve a large amount of the contacts, but I still can't seem to find a solution for the other contacts added directly to the phone.
    are there any new glitches/issues with the iOS 6 that cause this problem?
    phone is 3GS.
    thanks.

    Do the numbers still exist in your google contacts?
    Google recently terminated support for new configurations of gmail using Exchange Active Sync for unpaid accounts. In theory, existing configurations will continue to work, but there have been some problem reports.
    I've seen several mentions of the problem you describe in the last few days and so far, they've gone unresolved as far as I can tell. The root cause may be in google's termination of AES support.
    Facebook contact sync may also be a suspect.

  • Sync ICal with Exchange

    Hi
    I have the following problem. my Ical doesn´t sync with exchange calendar any more. only syncs till june 2010. Iphone sync still works (with the same server address etc.) both ways. I deleted Ical and calender cache and created the exchange account from the start. but that did not help.

    Hi,
    I'm having the same problem. All my Macs synced fine with the companys MS Exchange Server 2007 until the Mac OS X update was installed, which was released by Apple in mid Dec. 2010. The update was needed to support the new MobileMe calendar, which was also released by Apple at that time. Since this update all iCal installations on all of my Macs are not able to connect to the Exchange Server any more.
    The sync of Addressbook and Mail with the Exchange Server still works. So does the syncing of my iPad and iPhone with Mail, Addressbook and Calendar of the Exchange Server still works. Only the iCal of neither of my three Macs doesn't sync any more. Well the sync with me MobileMe calendar and my devices works perfect.
    I'm sure that the update is the cause of the sync issue with Exchange, because each of me Macs stopped syncing and showing the exclamation mark beside the Exchange Server account in iCal after updating the system with the MobileMe Patch. Clicking on the exclamation mark shows a message saying the at this time iCal is not possible to sync with the account. Looks the same as when there is no internet connection to the Exchange Server - only difference is, that there is a connection to it because Mail and Addressbook can access the Exchange Server.
    I've already tried to delete the Exchange Server account in iCal and set it up from the scratch. But this only deleted my old calendar entries I had form the time when the sync still worked.
    I hope someone from Apple reads this reply and has an answer to this problem. I was searching the Net since this problem accrued to me. I'm sure, that there is no system failure which causes the problem, because I have it on three Macs.
    Greetings

  • Simultaneous sync with two exchange servers - will it ever be possible?

    I fully understand that this is not possible at present (one has only to try to get a very clear pop-up message). I also understand that nobody can predict (or is willing to say) what is coming in future releases. My question is whether or not simultaneous syncing with two exchange servers is even theoretically possible. I don't undertstand exchange/ActiveSync well enough to even know if it's in the realm of possibility.
    If not, I'll try to find another way to do what I want (Gmail for calendar and contacts and work for mail, calendar and contacts) - I am open to suggestions. If it is, I'll have to figure out how important one (or the other) is to me for now and wait for the day when I can have my cake and eat it too.
    Thanks.

    I'm not sure if this is an ActiveSync limitation, but it might be since I don't believe accessing more than one Exchange account via ActiveSync with a Windows Mobile device is supported either, and ActiveSync and Windows Mobile are Microsoft products.

  • Syncing Gmail Calendar and Yahoo Mail

    I'm thinking of getting an iPhone. Is it possible to sync my Gmail calendar and both my Yahoo and Gmail mailbox?mail

    Yes.
    You can access a Gmail account as an Exchange account with the iPhone's Mail application which provides for Push access with received messages and syncing Gmail contacts and calendar events over the air.
    Yahoo supports accessing a Yahoo account as an IMAP account with the iPhone's Mail application but Yahoo doesn't support IMAP account access with an email client on your computer. You can access a Yahoo account as an IMAP or POP account with the iPhone's Mail application.
    You can access both accounts at the same time.

  • Sync Contacts from Exchange

    I am an IT admin and I am supporting a user who has an iPhone. We have the phone configured to sync Mail, Contacts & Calendars from our Exchange server. This has worked fine until today. Today the user reports that only 500 out of 3000+ contacts are synced to his iPhone.
    I have an iPod Touch which I have also configured the same way and have not had any problems. However, I don't have nearly the contacts that this user has.
    Any ideas why the contacts would not be syncing correctly today?
    Thanks,
    Jack Leininger

    Not sure why this has happened - it may have occurred when not connected via a wi-fi network when cellular reception was low.
    I suggest turning Contacts off on the iPhone for over the air syncing with the Exchange account. This will remove all contacts from the iPhone's address book. Follow this by turning Contacts on.

  • Outlook 2013 Won't Sync Consistently with Exchange 365 Server

    Hello,
    I have a Win 7 Pro laptop running Office 365 Pro Plus, and Outlook 2013 is part of that package.  For some reason, Outlook isn't syncing to the Exchange 365 server.  Even though it says "Connected" at the bottom, and that "All Folders
    Are Up to Date", I'm still not getting a full sync.  Example: I can delete a message from my inbox on my Win 7 computer, yet the message doesn't delete from the Outlook Web App, or my iPhone or iPad.  Or, I can delete a message from my
    iPad or iPhone, and it will delete on Outlook Web App but not on my laptop running Outlook.  In other words, my Win 7 PC running Outlook is the odd man out.  My iOS devices and the Outlook Web App always seem to be in sync.
    I did notice that at the bottom of the message list in my inbox in Outlook, there's a link telling me "there are more messages on the server".  I click that link, and it takes a few seconds for my inbox messages to update.  Once they
    do, I see messages I've already deleted before.  This tends to improve the sync function as well, but only temporarily.
    I did try to repair my profile by going to File --> Account Settings and then choosing Repair.  That didn't really seem to change anything.
    I also tried running a full Office 365 repair in Add/Remove Programs, but that didn't fix it either.
    I have downloaded and installed all of the latest updates from Microsoft Update.  Not really sure where else to look.

    Hi,
    Since Office 365 is different from Exchange On-Premises, I suggest asking Office 365 Forum for help so that you can get more professional suggestions. For your convenience:

  • How do  transfer my contacts from gmail and exchange to icloud?

    How do i transfer my contacts from gmail and exchange to iCloud?

    No it won't. As far as i know there is no ways to have contacts synced with both Google and iCloud at the same time. Linked card concept is just a means to help you organise cards representing a same identity.
    When you make changes to a card, it will push the change to the account that this card is synced.
    Hope this help.

  • Hotmail and Gmail as Exchanges

    Hi, I have configured hotmail and gmail as exchange accounts so to sync or use my google contacts on my iPhone 4S (5.1.1).
    Latetly when I try sending emails using gmail they are being sent via hotmail exchange instead of m.google.com. I don't remember until when this was working but was working atleast before 5.1.1.
    Currently I have my hotmail account disabled/inactive (by switching off mail) to make my gmail work as it should be.
    Will appritiate your help in addressing this issue.
    I have deleted both accounts and setup from scratch one after another and issue still remains
    Thank you,
    Ravi.

    Try to remove Hotmail account
    *** Power off iPhone ***
    Power on iPhone
    Add Hotmail account and test.
    I had the same exact problem after updating to iOS 5.1.1. I called into Apple Care (2-3 hrs) and went to the Genius Bar (2hrs). They all claimed it was my fault for forwarding email accounts. One suggested solution was to restore and setup as new, yet the problem still occured after I let them restore the iPhone. Some how I believe in iOS 5.1.1 the active sync is messed up. Everyone instead of taking ownership of the problem all says it's Hotmail's issue or Gmail's issue. Why is it not Apple's issue who wrote the code for iOS 5.1.1? Prior to v5.1.1 they didn't have a Hotmail (Exchange) setup. It was setup via smtp/mapi. The simple reboot inbetween adding/removing accounts works. (IMHO, this sounds like an Apple iOS issue to me.)

  • Mail.app to Exchange connection issues...

    Hi Everyone,
    First off...I'm new to the "Mac world", but well versed in the Windows environment...
    I'm having trouble getting Mail to work with my Exchange account. At first, I couldn't send email (but received fine), I still get occasional "connection" errors, but not too concerned....yet
    The problem I'm still having is after receiving emails, and reading them, they show up as "read" on my PC within seconds of opening them (I'm running a PC & Mac side by side to get this problem sorted out), but any deletes or filing in different folders from the Mac DO NOT get reflected on the PC.
    I know the problem is not my Exchange server (I set it up for our office) because I'm able to connect all the following devices & configurations to it:
    iPod Touch (with 2.x software)
    Assorted Blackberries
    Windows Mobile 6.x devices
    Outlook Web Access
    both local & remote Outlook connections (either via OWA, or VPN connection)
    I've tried playing around with the various account settings in Mail, but none seem to have any impact... I've even deleted & re-created the profile, and have the same results!
    Any help is appreciated .... thanks in advance!

    Hi, help me please to resolve my problems with Mail.app via Exchange. I can sent mail no futher than the Exchange name space. But I can't receive any mail at all. No SLL, IMAP/SMTP by default, all settings are correct in all layers of my account. It's absolutely true. I have no more ideas how to sync Mail with Exchange. May be I need to configure the Exchange but how? Could you send me Exchange'screenshots to [email protected] with IMAP layer and others you decide they necessary? I will be appreciated for any support. Thanks in advance.
