Why can't I access my gmail accounts?

I've just acquired a brand new laptop with a windows 8 operating system. FireFox will not let me access my gmail accounts. I have cleared the cookies and cache to the best of my knowledge but it is still giving me the following message...

Why can't I access my Gmail account after upgrading to YOSEMITE

Why can't I access my Gmail account after upgrading to Yosemite

Clear the cache and cookies only from websites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
It is possible that the cookies.sqlite file that stores the cookies is corrupted if clearing cookies doesn't work.
Rename (or delete) cookies.sqlite (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete other present cookies files like cookies.sqlite-journal in the Firefox profile folder in case the file cookies.sqlite got corrupted.

Why can I not get a gmail account on my macmnini?

Why can I not get a gmail account on my macmnini?
It tells me "unable to confirm account name or password.
But the same name and password worked on my ipad 2.

If you have a Gmail account and you've activated 2-step verification, you need to generate a new "application-specific password" in your Google account and enter it in place of your old password in the Keychain Access application.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.

Why can't I access my icloud account on iPad

Why can't I access my icloud account with iPad mini ?

On your iPhone iCloud is accessed automatically when you use the iPhone, I.e., contacts syncing, calendars syncing iCloud documents accessed, backups made, etc.
To enable iCloud functionality go to Settings > iCloud.

Hello, I can no longer access my gmail account through the mail icon. When I use the icon gmail tells me my password is invalid, however when I log in through Safari I have no problems. Any suggestions?

Hello,
I had no problem accessing my Gmail account through the mail icon until two weeks ago. I can still access my Gmail account through Safari, but when I attempt to access my Gmail through the mail icon, Gmail tells me that my password is invalid. Any Suggestions? Any help would be greatly aprecieated.
Thanks,
Frank

I see you are using LastPass. Could that add-on be interfering with your login?? You could try disabling it temporarily under Tools > Add-ons to test that theory.

HT1430 I can no longer access my gmail account on any of my apple products. I get an error message saying my user name or email address is incorrect.

I am unable to access my gmail account on my iPhone or my iPad three. I get an error message saying that either my user name or password is incorrect. I have deleted my account and restarted my iPad or iPhone but it still will not work. Can anybody help me please?

You can not merge accounts.
Apps are tied to the Apple ID used to download them, you can not transfer them.

TS3899 Why can't I get my Gmail account to work after my ipad reset?

Took my ipad to Apple store due to a software problem which was fixed by doing a reset. I then restored and backed up/sync'd my ipad in ITunes and iCloud. Now I can't get my gmail account to work on my iPad. It won't send or receive emails and I keep getting the message that my user name or password are incorrect, which I know they are not. The message is "the user name or password for imap.gmail.com is incorrect"... I tried deleting and re-adding the account, powering down the iPad but to no avail. I can log into to gmail on my computer so I know I have the correct password. Any thoughts or ideas? Don't really want to go back to the Apple Store again....

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

Why can't I access my gmail contacts from gmail app whilst on gmail; subtext: why do I need to sync with iTunes to access my contacts?

Why?

You don't. I don't sync my Gmail contacts through iTunes. The Mail app accesses them just fine. You just have to set up the Gmail account as an Exchange Account. The instructions are available in Google's help documents.

Why can't I access preferences or account settings for iChat

Let me start by saying I'm a newbie. I would like to use iChat. I set up a .mac account, a Google/Gmail account and an AIM account.
However, I cannot seem to log-in or use iChat using any of the accounts. I get to the Account Set Up page, enter the log-in info, get to the "Encrypted Chat" window, but cannot see any "Done" button that iChat says I have to select to start using iChat. Nor can I access any of the iChat account settings or preferences.
It doesn't matter if I'm on my wireless network (linksys WRt54G) or connected via ethernet. My firewall settings in System Preferences is open.
What am I doing wrong?
thanks in advance.

Hi,
Welcome to the  Discussions
I am a bit confused as to what stage you are up to.
I think it is the difference in the words you had used (and where you have used them) compared to how I tend to think about iChat
I would like to use iChat. I set up a .mac account, a Google/Gmail account and an AIM account.
I take this means that you have Registered Screen Names at the required places.
I get to the Account Set Up page, enter the log-in info, get to the "Encrypted Chat" window, but cannot see any "Done" button that iChat says I have to select to start using iChat.
I am therefore assuming this mean you are stuck in the Start Up Screens ?
Start Up Screens
You get a Welcome Screen First
A place to Add ("set up" in my speak) an AIM or Apple Screen name. It has a place to Add your First Name Last name details - which may be pre-filled from the Address Book.
This pic is from iChat 4 but should be the same in iChat 5
You need to use the middle Drop down to select which type of account you are using/setting Up.
The option to Enable Bonjour Chats is the next screen followed by the option to Set Up Jabber (Or Google) IDs
In iChat 5 there are optional items under the Text Fields to set up Server Names if different to the ending of your Jabber ID and the Server Port to use.
This is followed by a Video Snapshot option/Preview of Video Screen.
The Last is the Done Screen which tends to list the Names you are setting up.
If I have summarised correctly this is where you have got to then Open the Folder with the Little House iCon (Hard Drive/Users/(your account)
In here then open the Library one and the Preferences one in there.
Use either List View or CoverFlow (Also a List) an find anything that starts com.apple.ichat..... and ends .plist and drag it to the Trash.
Try setting up just one Name (You can add more in iChat Later).
If that does not work can you click though all the screen without adding any details at all ?

Why can't I access my adsense account from Firefox?

My website is on Firefox. It's getting ads on it from adsense, but I can't access the adsense account from Firefox. I can only get there from Explorer or Chrome. I'm also making almost no money, 87 cents, in several months. I feel that the adsense and the website are not coordinating. Could anyone give me some insight into this. I've spent hours and tried everything I know to work out the situation. Please help. Thanks. Mary Ann

hello mary ann, can you describe in a bit more detail what happens when you try to access the account in firefox (do you receive any error messages or does anything in particular not work?)
regarding the amount of money the adsense account is generating, we cannot help with that since this is a third-party service - you'd have to contact google's support about this issue.

Why can't I access my gmail from firefox?

I see there are many folks having this same problem. Why??? I'm using windows 7. It's only the gmail that I can not access. I can access other google pages, just not gmail. Very frustrating!

It may have to do with plugins, addons, and or cache and cookies. I use gmail and have no issues with it.
Please check if all your plugins are up-to-date. To do this, go to the [http://mozilla.com/plugincheck Mozilla Plugin Check site].
Once you're there, the site will check if all your plugins have the latest versions.
If you see plugins in the list that have a yellow ''Update'' button or a red ''Update now'' button, please update these immediately.
To do so, please click each red or yellow button. Then you should see a site that allows you to download the latest version. Double-click the downloaded file to start the installation and follow the steps mentioned in the installation procedure.
'''Try the Firefox Safe Mode''' to see how it works there. The Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.''
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4.0+ Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Don't select anything right now, just use "'Start in Safe Mode"''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shift key) to open it again.''
'''''If it is good in the Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.
Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
To clear cache and cookies do the following:
#Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
#Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
#Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
#From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
#Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.

Why can't I access my Blogger account and publish a blog? I get 'Bad Request Error 400" when I try.

When I tried this morning to publish my latest blog post the message 'Bad Request Error 400' came up on the screen. It seems other bloggers have been having the same problem today. I have subsequently tried to access my google blogger account through firefox but each time I do so the same message appears 'Bad Request Error 400'. What if anything do I need to do about it? Is the problem your end or is it a google problem?

I was re-decorating my blogger .. then I got the 'Bad Request Error 400' .. I re-formatted my computer, reloaded all .. I can now access my Blogger sites .. Don't know what the problem is/was, but I solved it by reloading my computer to Out-of-Box condition, and all is perfect now .. I have an alert set up for this Error 400 .. Masses of people are having problems daily ..
