Why can't get gmail account to set up on iMac
This morning I can't seem to get emails to download on my IMac. I deleted the account and tried to reinstall and it still gives me the same message. I went to the google account and made sure the server (IMAP) was entered correctly. It worked fine until this morning.
You are not alone. There seems to be a hiccup on the gmail servers.
Not much we can do but wait for it to be sorted out.
If you need to check your emails, try to get in through Safari. It will still ask for your password, but at least it won't be rejected this way.
If the link is not displayed in your browser, try this: https://mail.google.com/mail/?tab=wm#inbox

I've been asking everyone I can think and no one seems to know the answer - very frustrating but my god, it's only a gmail account - why can't i send mail from the laptop? someone told me I would have to pay $90 for an application that's missing on my macbook air, I say gmail is free, why do I have to pay for it and they hang up on me - guy at apple store doesn't know what the problem is, it guys at work are being snobby about the type of phone i have - i only want to send mail from my gmail account and i am unable to do so from the laptop - i don't know why i'm bothering to put this here because no one has an answer

Why can't my Gmail account on Mail go online when I turn off SSL?
I need to turn off SSL for my avast! antimalware to scan my messages. This worked fine before, but just recently my Gmail account stopped going online whenever SSL is off.

Can I use a gmail account to set up my child's IPhone?
Can I use a gmail account to set up my child's iphone? He already has a gmail account I don't want to set up an icloud email address. My husband and I could use our gmail addresses.
You can use any email address that you like as an Apple ID - it doesn't have to be an icloud one.
My only suggestion would be to use an address that you know you will have access to for a long while - like the gmail one - so you don't have to worry about changing the Apple ID in the future.

I did not know my kids had set up an Itunes account for me with one user name and password. then i got an i phone and set it up with a different email address and new password. how can i get my accounts to merge so i can have all of my music on my iphone
Quote: "You cannot merge two or more Apple IDs into a single one. You can, however, use one Apple ID for iCloud services and another Apple ID for store purchases (including iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match). See “Using one Apple ID for iCloud and a different Apple ID for Store Purchases” above for details." See also Apple ID & iCloud FAQ: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4895?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
You can set up your iCloud account on your iOS device under: "Settings > iCloud" and a other account for store purchases under "Settings > iTunes & App Stores". Unfortunately merging accounts is not possible but you could transfer all of your music manually via iTunes from your Mac or PC. -

Can't setup Gmail account - "Mail couldn't discover the account settings for the Mail server "
Since upgrading to Yosemite I can't add one of my gmail accounts.
It's my business domain which is hosted with GMAIL. It worked before the upgrade. Now adding the email address in 'internet accounts setup' I get the message "Can't setup Gmail account - "Mail couldn't discover the account settings for the Mail server "
Mail will not let me setup an email account directly in mail either.
There seems to be major problems with mail in this update.
Also SMTP keeps failing.
Yosemite is a disaster.Try this. I saw this solution elsewhere on the boards here.
When setting up a business gmail account, something other than @gmail.com, when you try to add the account in Mail preferences, don't select Google as the account type. Choose, "Other." Fill out the name, email and password as usual. Worked great for me after having similar issues trying to get my business gmail account to work in Yosemite. -
New phone, can't get gmail to work
I'm having problems trying to put my gmail acct on my droid 2. I create a new acct with new password and then I get an error msg. The funny thing is I'll go to google accts and do exactly what they prompt me to do and I still can't enter it on the droid. Weirder still is after I log out online I can't re-access the new gmail account. Anyone else having this problem? Oh and of course, there is no one at google to talk to......
No it is not a stupid question. I tried every possible combination. I even checked the box on googles site about forgot user name. Google sent my user name to my hotmail address. then I went in and reset the password with my user name. So then I tried to set it up on my droid and kept getting an error msg. Went back to google online to login and got an error msg there. Great, by now I'm thoroughly frustrated so I thought I would create a new gmail acct to get it to work on the phone. Same thing happened. Gmail gave me an error msg even though I just created a new acct. So I can't log on my pc or phone and there is no one to contact a google to find out what is wrong.

How can i get an account itunestore in mexico??
if any one knows how can i get an account in mexico.
i've been looking and mexico dont appear in the list of countries of itunes store..
tks.
MACBOOK Mac OS X (10.4.8)Sorry, but as scapesuiter said, there is no iTunes Store for Mexico, and no indication if or when one will be set up. So unless you have a legal residence in a country that does have an iTunes Store now, and have a credit card issued and billed to an address in that country, you will not be able to use the iTunes Store.

Why can I get several HD channels in HD on my rooftop antenna, but the not on Fios?
Why can I get several HD channels in HD on my rooftop antenna, but not on Fios?
E.g. WABC, WNBC, WLIW and WNET come in at least 4 HD channels via my rooftop antenna but only one WLIW (non-HD) on Fios.
Bummer.
I can switch from the RF to HDMI sources but I thought with all of the channels I could at least get the ones I watch.
I'm located in Northern NJ USA, about 10 miles (line of sight) from NYC.Rumplestiltskin wrote:

I assume you get the NJ versions of those channels?
Networks pay for exclusive programming rights within specific markets. Cable operators are only allowed to offer a specific set of local channels within their designated media market (DMA). If you aren't considered to be in the NYC market, then you aren't supposed to receive those channels.
Like many in the DC area, I can pickup the Baltimore locals with an antenna, but I as I live in the DC DMA, those are the only channels I receive from Verizon, Comcast, DirecTV, etc. Note there are circumstances where a customer might fall between two markets, living in an area with overlapping DMAs; in that case, the provider can choose to offer two different sets of locals. Verizon FiOS does do that in some areas.

I have £16.50 on my account, when i go to purchase a song Itunes wants me to purchase it through a credit card? why can i use my account money?
Assuming you were not buying a gift for someone else - gifts cannot be purchased using a credit balance - another user in the forums posted this as the reply from the iTunes Store when this issue was brought up. Perhaps it will help you. If problems persist, contact the iTunes Store:
http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
Regards.
I'm sorry you weren't able to make a purchase using your store credit. To purchase items on the iTunes Store with your store credit, your account information in your user profile needs to be corrected. I'll walk you through this process to get you back up and running in no time.
1) Visit the My Apple ID website at: http://appleid.apple.com
2) If the site is not displayed in your preferred language, click the Change Language link in the upper-right corner, type the name of your language in the field that appears, then click the Save button.
3) Click the "Manage your account" link.
4) Type your iTunes Store account name (which is your Apple ID) in the Apple ID field, type your password in the password field, then click the Sign In button.
5) Click "Addresses" in the column on the left. If you have multiple shipping addresses, remove any out-of-date or duplicate addresses by clicking Delete. Also, make sure the state or province field is filled out correctly for each address. To edit an address, click Edit. Edit all of your shipping addresses and make sure the appropriate state is selected in the State drop-down menus.
6) Now click "Phone Numbers" on the left. The area codes should be in the area code fields and the phone numbers should be in the phone number fields. If an area code is missing, or if it is in a phone number field, your account information may not save properly.
7) Make any other necessary corrections, then click the Save Changes button.
8) Click Log out in the upper-right corner. When you make your next purchase on the iTunes Store, you will be asked to review your billing information. At this point, you can change your information or simply click Done at the bottom of the screen to proceed. Once you click Done, you should be able to purchase on the iTunes Store using your store credit. -
How can I sync my various email accounts into an iCloud account. Example. I have an embarqmail.account. How can I get it to sync with iPhone, iPad, iMac so that I don't have to read or review eMails on all 3 devices. Thanks
You need OSX 10.7.2 or higher in order to access icloud. The mobile me account is now defunct (it closed down more than a year ago).

I downloaded pictures onto my iPhone from computer twice by mistake now when i uncheck/sync then check and sync again i keep getting two lots of pics..how can i get just the one set again? thnx
You're welcome.
All photos transferred from your computer are stored in the iPhone's Photo Library regardless if you select a single album or folder of photos to be transferred or multiple albums or folders. The photos on the albums or folders of photos include a pointer to the original photos stored in the Photo Library. The photos are not duplicated taking up double the storage space. This way you can view the photos in an album or folder of photos only by selecting the album or folder, or all photos in all albums or folders by selecting Photo Library.
Makes more sense when transferring multiple albums or folders of photos which cannot be changed when transferring only a single album or folder of photos.
The same applies with iTunes and music playlists. A song can't be in a playlist unless it is in the main iTunes library. Placing a song in a playlist does not duplicate the song. -
