  • Cannot Set-up gmail in iPhone 5

    Hi
    This is Sunil Akella from Bangalore, Karnataka, India.
    I have recently purchased iPhone-5, and I am not able to set-up gmail account. A smart phone without personal email account is very embarassing to maintain.
    I connected to Wifi in my organization, and ensured I am able to connect to the internet and I followed below steps to set-up gmail account.
    1- Touch on Mail Icon
    2- Select Gmail
    3- Provided Name, email, Password and "Next" button.
    Now at this stage it pops-up a message saying " Cannot connect Using SSL.. Do you want to try setting up the account without SSL ? Yes/ No
    4- I selected Yes
    After sometime, one more pop-up message appeared saying
    " The IMAP server "imap.gmail.com" is not responding. Check your network connection and that you entered the correct information in the "Incoming Mail Server" field"
    I really don't understand, when I am able access any site from the Safari browser in my iPhone, why it says "check your network connection"
    I have ensured in my gmail settings : General-:>Browser Connection-> Selected the option : "Don't always use HTTPS"
                                                            Forwarding and IMAP/POOP -> IMAP Access : Status says- IMAP is enabled
    Please help me in resolving this issue.

    I bought an Iphone 5s and just tried to add my google calendar -extra easy to do in an old fashion Samsung, but in the iphone I got this message:
    Cannot connect using SSL. Do you want to try setting up the account without SSL, Y/N
    I click yes
    Then I got a second message
    The IMAP server “imap.gmail.com” is not responding. Check your network connection and that you entered the correct information in the “Incoming Mail Server” field.
    I clicked OK and nothing happened.
    Please help.
    I am starting feeling a bit disappointed.

  • Cannot set up gmail for iPhone 4

    Hi,
    I just got an iPhone (thru Verizon) and wanted to set up my Gmail account.  However, I keep getting an error message saying "Cannot Get Mail.  The use name or password for "imap.gmail.com" is incorrect.  I've triple-checked my account and password, and those are right.  What am I doing wrong?
    Thanks!

    i ran into the same problem today when i got my new iphone 4 S and trying to setup my gmail on my iphone 4 S. it was not working until i followed the video on youtube.com.
    you do not need to do anything besides follow the steps in the video and it worked for me.
    this is the video:

    SOLUTION:
    1) Settings
    2) Mail, Contacts, Calendars
    3) Add Account
    4Scroll all the way down on the list and pick Other (DO NOT PICK Gmail from the list - THIS DID NOT WORK for me)
    5) Add Mail Account
    Name: Your Name
    Address: [email protected]
    Password: Your Gmail Password
    Description: Your Gmail
    Incoming Mail Server:
    Host Name: imap.gmail.com
    User Name: [email protected]
    Password: Your Gmail Password
    Outgoing Mail Server:
    SMTP: smtp.gmail.com
    That's it! Good luck

  • Get Gmail on iPhone _and_ Macbook?

    I'd love to be able to pull my Gmail on my iPhone during the day and then download all the day's messages into Mail on my Macbook at night.
    Unfortunately, when the iPhone gets a message (using POP) it's marked as "downloaded" so that when Mail connects it won't download the message.
    Until Gmail supports IMAP, is there any other way around this? Other than using the Gmail web interface?
    PS. I did find that you can go into Gmail and temporarily "Enable POP for all mail (even mail that's already been downloaded)." That works, but it's a crappy solution.

    This is rather unusual, because my mail shows up perfectly on both my iPhone and my Mac...
    I receive all my mail to both, regardless of whether i opened the message.
    You may want to check to see if your settings on gmail.com for forwarding are correct.

  • Why do I get the message "iPhone Not Available" when trying to make calls from my Mac even when both devices are clearly on the same Wi-Fi network?

    I am using a mid-2010 Mac Book and the iPhone 6.  I can't imagine that it is due to the age of my Mac because if it was disqualified, then we would not get the option to use it to take calls.

    I get the same message and stating that both the iPhone and Mac must be on the same network, which they are.  I was able to call from my iPad through the iPhone on the same network I'm using for the iMac and iPhone.  I've tried several settings configurations on the iPhone but to no avail.

  • 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

  • Why  cannot I get stickies  to open or work?

    1. I am new to Apple - Iwould like to get Stickies to open AND work!

    Could you describe your issue in bit more detail?
    Would do you mean by "work"? Are Stickies not opening for you? Are you getting error messages? Is the icon staying on the Dock?

  • Why do I get "Cannot connect to ITunes Store" message on my IPad and IPhone?

    Why do I get "Cannot connect to ITunes Store" message on my IPad and IPhone?
    I have tried numerous times to connect to ITunes Store to update my current apps and continue to get this message.  Apple has determined that it is not a device problem or an Apple problem.  It has to do with ITunes.  Can anyone help?

    I am having no problems downloading from the app store today. I just tried it again. However, I read some of those other discussions as well and there have been times when the iTunes or App Store has been out of commission. Don't hold your breath waiting for Apple to acknowledge it because that is not going to happen. That is not how they operate.
    You can report it to them here ....

    Friend,
    When you set a Gmail account you just need to enter your email account and password. It is impossible you enter the right information but it says "wrong". Double check it.
    If you mentioned "iPhone ID" as your Apple ID, you can find it going to Settings>> iCloud. Check if you already sign in to. If not, sign in with your Apple ID and password. If you haven't created one, you can do it there.

  • IPhone Mail App cannot connect with gmail iMap server

    So my gmail address list or contacts seems to have been hacked and all my contacts who are still talking to me have told me so.
    So I changed my gmail password.
    No more complaints, and probably no more friends as contacts.
    But seriously, I have been able to get gmail (web) working with my new double authentication password(s). Also, my outlook for MAC is working using the special "generated App Password". (because Outlook cannot do the double authentication thingie)
    Ditto for the gmail app from google on my iPhone. (it works too)
    BUT
    I cannot get the iPhone Mail App to connect to Gmail.
    I have deleted (i thought) my existing gmail setup from my iPhone. When I try to re establish the gmail settings, using either the password generated by the MAC / iCloud keychain generator or the App password, I get the message "My Name" is already added.
    It looks to me that there is something in the iPhone that matches my gmail address, even though I deleted the account.
    Any suggestions before I call Apple for help?
    Thanks
    Barry

    I think so.
    Actually I think I need to get the App Password for Mail on my phone. It generates the app password and I enter it into the password in the gmail setup for mail.
    The problem is that when I hit next on that page, I get the message:
    "my name" is already added" and I cannot proceed.
    Before doing this setup I deleted my gmail account by tapping the email address and hitting delete in the Mail, Contact and Calendars setup..
    but, there is something hiding in my iPhone that remembers my old gmail password (I guess) and doesn't let me proceed.
    If I enter my gmail iChain password I get the same thing.
    If i do this in airplane mode (no connection to google) i also get the same.
    I talked to an apple care person who had me reset all my settings... still the same thing.
    I am trying to avoid a gull reset of the iPhone, but that may be in the cards.
    Going to go to the apple store and ask there, but i am not hopeful.
