Why did iOS 6 update affect Gmail? Cannot receive Gmail at all now

Immediately after applying iOS 6 update, my iPhone can no longer receive Gmail. Deleted and manually readded account to no avail.
Sending and receiving fine on iPad and desktop. Please help!

The OP is correct, I have done many tests.  With IOS6 there appears to be a dns issue in some cases with IOS for both ipad(2) at lease (my wife won't let me upgrade here v1) and the iPhone4s in my case.  Pretty easy to diagonse, I wish Apple would fix it.
1.) I use a Juniper 5GT wireless firewall and all of my other devices (many apple, ipad, MBP, iMAC,3 ipods etc) are fine: Not ipad2 or iphone4s running IOS6
2.) after upgrade nothing worked.  narrowed it down by messing with dns (I have my own dns server)
3.) Strange thing; dns works over MiFI (Verizon) and Carrier
4.) confirmed that it is a dns and not network issue.
-down load free tool called ping-scope-lite.   (obviously you need to turn off wifi to do this)
  http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ping-scope-lite/id431500107?mt=8
turn on wifi
- ping Level3 dns server 4.2.2.2 or Googlesdns servers 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4 these worked.
-now ping by name google.com or ipchicken.com
   - try others; same result.
Apple did say that they would give me another iphone 4s: I just wasn't sure that would fix my issue.  I tried downgrading to 5.1.1 but I got an error saying my device wasn't able to do so (tried even blocking itunes from contacting Apple)  I whis this could be fixed.  I did even have it working using my own dns server but now I can see that my phone over wifi isn't even trying to make a dns request now.

  • I did IOS 5 update as per onscreen instructions and lost all my data, photos ,music , everything. Thus is the worse experience . Now iTunes crashes on startup.

    I use iTunes for my iPhone 4 and iPad 1 . When I did the ios5 update on my iPhone iTunes reported that threvwas a problem , tgatvsone of my data did not get copied . Well none of my data got copied , ios5 got installed ok but I lost all my photos , music , books , apps. What a horrible situation. I cannot get iTunes to run . It crashes after about  45 seconds , reports that something is preventing it from running . I repaired iTunes with a fresh iTunes 10.5 file but to no avail. Oh , and iTunes installed all my apps on my iPhone . Mean apps that were for my iPad and iPod touch. It installed about 300 apps on my iPhone. This is insane . That **** IOS 5 is a ruinous upgrade. What do I do ? I can't sync my iPad any longer no iTunes. I don't know.......

    The passcode is defintely doing its job, denying access to your personal info from unauthorised users. The way I look at it is if there was another way to bypass the passcode then whats the point?. You would then have a passcode just for show, that didn't protect anything. Anybody and everybody would have access to all your data.
    I understand your frustration in regards to losing data, thats one of the worst things that could happen with devices now days that hold so much information. I do not believe the issue was your fault but your colleagues. In saying that it would have been wise to make frequent iTunes back ups or enable automatic iCloud back ups as that is what they are there for.
    As already explained this is a user to user forum, Apple does not comment or review the information. If you believe Apple should have another way to protect their devices or another way around this issue then please provide them with feedback here:

    All the best.

  • Why did I ever updated IOS 6? I want IOS 5 back!

    Why did I ever updated IOS 6? I want IOS 5 back!

    The youTube App is gone because Apple's license to use it has expired.
    YouTube is still accessible on the iPad via Safari (or any other browser) at http://m.youtube.com/
    Sign in at this site and your favorites, etc. will still be present. Save the site icon to the iPad Home screen and you will have a replacement for the youTube App.
    There is also an iPhone youTube App in the App Store which works on the iPad as well as the Jasmine App.

  • Did IOS 7 update.  Can't find my rented movies that downloaded from iTunes.  I downloaded to watch later, they don't come up as rented

    Did IOS 7 update.  Can't access downloaded movies I rented from iTunes.  Matter of fact they don't even show they are there & Rented.  How do I get to watch movies I paid to rent?

    It seems to be a common problem many Apple TV users are experiencing.  I was able to restore to factory settings, update software and reconfigure the Apple TV settings,and then could view one program.  However, the solve is only temporary and it is a lengthy process. I'm hoping Apple support can provide a permanent solve soon.

  • Why did an iphoto update removed iDvd from share button?

    Lion os x 10.7
    Why did an iphoto update on 2-20-13 remove iDvd from share button in iPhoto?  Can you recoup the iDvd button on iPhoto?
    Thanks for any assistance.
    JN

    Because iDVD is not longer supported or offered by Apple.  So now you have to export any iPhoto slideshows at the large or medium size to your hard drive, place it where you will be storing QT movie files and then drag into an open iDVD project window being careful to avoid any drop zones in the menu window.
    If you place the file in the Movies folder you can acces it and iPhoto photos via the Media pane in iDVD.
    In iDVD follow this workflow to help ensure the best quality final product:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the  File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option.  This will separate the encoding process from the burn process. 
    To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

    I recently did a system update and installed Yosemite on my Mac. Now I am unable to open CS5 at all. The error message I get is this: "To open Adobe Photoshop CS5.1, you need to install legacy Java SE 6 runtime." I have tried downloading this and it still gives me the same mess

    In the details it is mentioned that it is an outdated version of Java.
    Is this a security risk that i need to live with to get CS5 to run with Yosemite?
    Also i need to reject messages from Java in the future about updates, or not?
    thx for any input

    The phone is in restore mode and the picture is telling you what to do. Connect the phone, by cable, to iTunes in the computer you normally use for syncing, and retore the phone.

  • I did the recent update on my ipad 7.0.4 and now it keeps freezing up and can not use it. Tried reboot and works for a second then freezes right up again. Anyone else have this issue or know a fix?

    I did the recent update on my ipad 7.0.4 and now it keeps freezing up and can not use it. Tried reboot and works for a second then freezes right up again. Anyone else have this issue or know a fix?

    Madmonkey,
    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
    Gaylefromnewhope,
    Seems like you tried this all ready and it didn't help.
    Next might be to reset all settings.
    Settings > General > Reset > Reset all Settings
    Note that when you do this you will not lose data but you will have to enter all passwords again.
    If that doesn't help you might tries a restore of your iPad using iTunes on the computer you normall sync with. Do a backup and save all data first. Or
    Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

  • Using mountain lion operating system, downoaded iphoto 9.4 update, aperature 3.4.3 update and still cannot access photo stream.  now what??

    Using mountain lion operating system, downoaded iphoto 9.4 update, aperature 3.4.3 update and still cannot access photo stream.  now what??

    With Aperture, you should be able to use Photo Stream now, but you need iPhoto 9.4.2 > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1608
    After updating iPhoto to the latest version, open System Preferences > iCloud and tick Photo Stream. Finally, you will have to turn on Photo Stream on iPhoto and Aperture choosing Photo Stream on the sidebar of both programmes

  • Why did iOS 7.x update affect iPad2 WiFi connection badly?

    After updating to iOS 7.x my iPad 2 has very weak WiFi connection. It only works at home from about 1 meter distance. Other devices find the connection without problems. In other places (office, areas with public free WiFi networks) iPad does not find the WiFi network at all. Seems this problem is only with iPad2, newer  Apple HW does not seem to have the same problem.
    I have tried all fix ideas I've managed to find, even resetting back to factory settings. I have also installed all available updates to the operating system. Nothing works. Any idea what has been changed in the iOS sw that affects the WiFi this way? Any fix expected from Apple?

    After updating to IOS 7.1.1, the Wi-Fi on my iPad 2 behaved normally.

  • Why did the latest update (31.1.2) delete database files for primary email account in profile?

    After restarting TB to apply the 31.1.2 update, all of the database files for my primary email account were apparently deleted. Restarting TB again got it to start syncing with the IMAP server again, but it has to download around 100,000 messages again because of this. Was this a design decision or is there a problem with the update itself? And why did it only affect my primary email account and leave the other 4 (much smaller ones) unscathed?

I always keep the Deleted folder and the POP subfolder from Hotmail accounts disabled since it is merely duplicating content in other folders. When re-checking the sync settings because it was taking so long, I found that the POP subfoler was selected for sync again.

  • Why did 8.0 update delete my photos?

    Why did the new 8.0 software update delete all my phots except the recently added 180 photos and how do i get all my old photos back!?

    Both,
    Photostream has gone including all photos (875), but the update notes from Apple never said they would go and be deleted.
    Camera Roll - I had photos in there from 2012 and quite a few from 2013. They are not there and the only ones start from February 14 unto present.
    I have restored using a backup from before updating to iOS 8 but they are not there. Not in collections or anything.
    It is frustrating and disappointing. They are in my iPhoto on my Mac but thats not the point.
