Why can't I get gmail on my iPhone 4 anymore?

I had to restore my iPhone 4 from a very old backup (Oct. 2011), and have been having problems with Gmail ever since.  I've enter in all of my gmail account info into the mail settings multiple times, and gone through the set-up instructions on both Google and Apple, and I keep getting an error saying my account name or password is incorrect.  I've signed in online to verify my user name and password and they are, indeed, correct.  Can anyone advise if they've run into this problem before, or what can be done to fix it?
Thank you!! ^_^

  • Why can't i get Skype app on iPhone 4s

    Hi
    My mum gave me her old iPhone 4s.  It's the first time I've had a smart phone so I am a bit new to it.  I tried to download Skype for iPhone, but it said my phone couldn't have it.  I had the same with BBC Radio iPlayer.  Some apps say I don't have the right operating system - I get that, but why do some apps just say my phone can't have a certain app?  Is it because I am wirth giffgaff and am not on a contract but have sim only and then buy monthly goody bags?

    ok, first, thanks to all of you for all the help so far.
    second, this is turning into a kind of nightmare!
    i decided to try using my mum's new macbook to use iTunes to update my iPhone.  first, it didn't have iTunes installed so i had to install it.  now i have done that, and tried to update my iPhone but i just get a message on my mum's computer saying i have the most recent version of 4.2.1 and there will be another update at a certain date (can't remember it.) eh?  what's that about?  i'm not tech-savvie and am completely flummoxed. i thought i'd update it to a newer version. how can i update my iPhone?  all i want to do is get some basic free apps! 
    also, i hear what you're saying, and it seems the phone must be an iPhone 4 not 4s, but the box etc all say 4s.  another weird factor.
    i'd really appreciate some help, please. 

  • Why can't I get sound notification for my email anymore?

    I am no longer able to get sound notification for send or receive email nor can I get sound notification for incoming phone calls.  What happened and is there a correction?

    Before doing anything else, is your ringer switch in silent mode?  I'd try toggling the switch a few times to make sure it's working.  The phone should vibrate when you move the switch from on to silent.  If it doesn't then the switch may be broken.
    Next make sure the volume for notifications is not off.  Check the Sound settings for this.  Changing the volume there should also cause your (phone) ringtone to play.  If it doesn't then there is something very wrong.
    The only other thing I can suggest if the above doesn't help is doing a hard reset of the phone.  Hold power and home buttons down until screen goes dark and Apple icon appears, then let go.
    If that doesn't work, then the only other thing you can try is doing a Backup and then a Restore in iTunes.  If that doesn't work, then there's a hardware problem.

  • Why can't I get my iPad and iPhone to sync my iMessages.  The iPad comes up with check connections

    I have tried to sync my iPad with my iPhone.  I follow the steps and when I go onto iMessages on the iPad it won't let me sign in it keeps coming up with to check connection and try again

    Hey there Dora,
    It sounds like you are unable to sign into your iMessage account becuase of an error message telling you to check the connection. I recommend these troubleshooting steps from the article named:
    iOS: Troubleshooting FaceTime and iMessage activation
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4268
    If you see "Could not sign in, please check your network connection and try again" when signing in to your Apple ID
    To resolve this issue, follow these steps.
    Update to the latest version of iOS.
    Verify that you have a data connection by going to www.apple.com in Safari. You can complete Apple ID activation using Wi-Fi or a cellular data connection. If you need help connecting to Wi-Fi, follow these steps.
    If you're using Wi-Fi, make sure that your local Wi-Fi network is using the recommended Wi-Fi settings.
    Sign in to your account and ensure that the primary email address and alternate e-mail addresses have been verified. If verification is pending, follow the instructions in the email Apple sent to that email address to complete verification. Or remove the e-mail addresses from the account.
    If your Apple ID isn't an email address, you can change it. The Apple ID that you're using to activate FaceTime or iMessage must be an email address. Find more information on how to change your Apple ID.
    Tap Settings > General > Date & Time. Make sure that your iPhone is set to the correct time zone. If Set Automatically is on but the wrong time zone appears, turn Set Automatically off and choose the correct time zone, date, and time.
    Enable iMessage and FaceTime while connected to a different Wi-Fi network (in a different location) if a cellular data connection is not available.
    You can see that you've activated FaceTime and iMessage with your Apple ID by following these steps.
    Tap Settings > FaceTime > You can be reached by FaceTime at:
    Tap Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You can be reached by iMessage at:
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • Why can't I get swiftkey for my iphone 4s?

    I love my phone but not so much the keyboard.
    I would really love to use swiftkey but it seems that Apple doesn't allow 3rd party keyboards?
    Is this true?
    Is it likely to change?
    Any alternatives or advice very welcome.

    You are correct, it is not available for the iPhone. You can make suggestions to Apple at www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html. This is their feedback page for users to make suggestions.

  • 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.

  • If you registrate one Apple ID for each iPhone/iPad, you'll get 5GB on iCloud for each Apple ID, right? I have two iPhones and one iPad  with the same Apple ID, why can't I get 5 GB fo each of them?

    If you registrate one Apple ID for each iPhone/iPad, you'll get 5GB on iCloud for each Apple ID, right? I have two iPhones and one iPad  with the same Apple ID, why can't I get 5 GB fo each of them?

    Actually, everyone missed one point, when a device is priced, the cost of icloud storage space for that device is also included in it that is why they are able to give you 5gb each for each user ID, in nutshell there is nothing free coming with apple device purchase, it is paid for.  What they are trying by giving only 5gb per user ID irrespective of the number of devices used is pure broadlight looting, they take money from you when you buy each device and give you nothing, This is a case of goods and services bought but not fully deliverd ie apple can be suied for discreminatory treatment towards it's users. I wonder why no one tried this yet in America where everyone sue everyone for petty things..... there is no one to take up this issue? . if tim got any love for the guys who shell out money for the devices his company makes, he should be implimenting this as priority before someone wake up from sleep and sue him.

  • Why can't I get firefoc 6, I had it on my old computer and now I can not find it to download

    I updated to firefox 6 and have since gotten a new computer and now can only download 4.0. Why can't I get at least 5.6 update?

    You likely had FF 3.6 instead of 6. At the moment, FF 4 is the latest version. If you wish to rollback to an earlier version, you can download your preferred version for your OS here:
    http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/
    FF 4 is the latest and greatest. If you are not experiencing specific problems that force you to roll back to an earlier version, you will probably want to stick with FF 4.
    If you do roll back, you may want to back up your profile for safekeeping:

  • Why can't I get a straight answer re: Multi Room DVR and HD Boxes

    A rep that I spoke w/ on the phone and the website tells me that the HD set top boxes are not compatiable w/ the Multi Room DVR. But they are working on it. A rep I chatted w/ today told me they definitely WILL work together. Why can't I get a straight answer?? And what IS the correct answer? I want to switch to FIOS and I really like the Multi Room DVR option, but I don't want my 1 of my 2 main TVs to be w/o HD. And since the Multi Room Box is HD why wouldn't it be compatiable w/ the HD boxes??
    Does anyone know what's going on w/ this?? Thanks!

    Joe01880,
    And that info is out of date, whether it is on Verizon's website or not. If you have the latest level of the IMG (1.6), then, as confirmed one post above yours, that the HD STB is now supported, and works. This has been posted in multiple posts on multiple forums, so I believe that it is accurate. But I do not have the 1.6 level so I cannot confirm that personally, I can only repeat what other posters in this and other forums have said. For example:
