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.

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.

I bought a used iPod touch and when I try to set up my iCloud account, it says that the maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this device. Is there a way around this?

I bought a used iPod touch and when I try to set up my iCloud account, it says that the maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this device. Is there a way around this? I thought I could maybe set up the account on my PC and go from there, but it won't let me do that. It is forcing me to set up on the iPod. Am I doomed to have no iCloud account because I opted for a used device?

See this previous discussion.

When i try to set up an email account it keeps saying invalid address

When i try to set up an email account it keeps saying invalid address, why is this?

Probably becaue you made an error in one of the required entries for the mail account. It is very easy to make an error. Rather than trying to find the error, many times it is easier to delet ethe account on the iPod and then recreate it.

What mail provider is it?
Have you Googled for: setup XXX email on iPhone
where xxx is the provider
You can try going to Mail>the accounts>Advanced and turn Use SSL on or off, the opposite of what it is now.

No Apple ID found, but when i try to set up a new account it says its unavailable - HOW can this be ?

I have been trying to set up a new account with my gmail but i have No success ... how can the Apple Id checker say one thing but when i try to create a new ID is says its taken .. ???

If you used your original welcome email, which contained a link to delete the BB ID, then you are supposed to be able to create a new BB ID with the same email address. If you used some other method to delete your BB ID, then you should find that email and use that method. If that does not work, then you will need formal support...which is only available via your carrier, who would need to escalate your case into RIM.
Good luck!

When I try to set up e-mail accounts the mail settings icon goes back to main screen. I have tried restoring and the same thing happens.

I have a new ipad2 3G and have a vodafone sim. Internet is working, but when I try to follow instructions to set up e-mail accounts (Settings/Mail Settings) it pops back to the main menu screen. I have restored and checked that restrictions are set to off, but still the same thing happens.

If you selected open a new Apple ID account, go back a step and enter use existing Apple ID.
You will have to set up a separate iCloud account or your iPads will mirror each other.

When I try to set up my ePrint account Ajax submit failed: error = 403, Forbidden

I am trying to set up my ePrint account for the 1st time and keep receiving the following error message:
Ajax submit failed: error = 403, Forbidden

Hi rwmcbur,
Sorry you are having trouble signing up for an ePrint account. I would recommend trying a different browser (i.e. Chrome, Firefox, Safari) or a mobile browser (iOS, Android, etc.) to see if that helps.

Error message on Iphoto when emailing says it doesn't recognize email password combination

I just purchased an updated Iphoto and it no longer will let me email photos because it doesn't recognize my username password combination. How do I fix that

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.

When i try to set a folder, it does not show up on the far left which doesn't allow me to enter any projects in the folder..

In trying to set up a folder, it doesn't appear on the far left but it shows up directly under other projects. Because it doesn't set up on the far left I can't put any projects in the folder.

Currently what I'm doing to set up a folder is go to "new" to create a folder but what I get is a folder that is directly positioned under a symbol such as a project and not out to the left of the other symbols.
Probably you get a folder directly beneath a project, because you have selected that project. But still you should be able to drag the folder to a higher level so that you can move projects into it.
If nothing else helps, switch to "Projects" View (by clicking on the prject icon on top of the Library Inspector) before you select "File -> New -> Folder" . That should create the new Folder at the bottom of your folder list, far to the left, and you should be able to drag projects to it.

When I try to create a new sync account using my email address, the response says it's alreay in use. I imagine this is a relic of my old foxmarks account. Is there a way to release that email account from the old version, or to reover the password?

I've gotten an iPhone, and downloaded the Firefox browser to it, and I'd like to sync the browsers between my iMac and iPhone. When I enter my email to create a new sync account, I'm told that it's already in use, but there's no option to retrieve my password.
Any idea how to get around this?

Try the options at https://services.mozilla.com/ and see if you can't recover the password.
