Why when trying to set up my gmail, it keeps telling me imap username

Why when trying to setup my gmail account on this supposedly incredible iPhone 4S it keeps telling me that imap username and or password is wrong?  I have tried everything I was told and still same problem    PLEASE SOMEONE HELP  ME. 
I have been working on this for 2 weeks.  It used to work.  I don't know what happened!!!

I have done that I think.  How do I know if smpt is turned on?  When I try to create the gmail account, I put my first and last name, then I put my [email protected], then my password & then hit next, it then searches my account and another page pops up and on the top left it says IMAP and then I follow the directions from there.  I put in imap.gmail.com and then I put in the same info as the first page as in username and password, then I put in smpt.gmail.com and my username and password.  I know my username & password are 100% correct, then I hit next and that is when it pops up imap username and or password are incorrect.  What am I missing ?

  • I keep getting an error when trying to set up my gmail account

    Any ideas?  I have enabled my IMAP settings but can't get email.  Help!

    I just selected "add new account", clicked on Gmail, filled in the User name and Password and I was good to go.
    Very simple and I might add, much more stable than using Hotmail or MSN mail.  I continue to have trouble with outgoing mail failures with these two accounts, but Gmail just keeps cooking.

    You installed the Conduit spyware. To remove it, back up all data, then follow these instructions.
    If the instructions don't work, proceed as follows.
    Triple-click the line below to select it:
    ~/Library/Application Support/Conduit
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). From the Finder menu bar, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder…
    Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return. A Finder window should open with a folder named "Conduit" selected. If it does, delete the selected item.
    Repeat with this line:
    /Applications/Toolbars
    Now you're deleting a folder named "Toolbars". You may be prompted for your login password. Next, copy this line:
    /Library
    Select Go to Folder… again and paste. Don't delete the Library folder. Delete only the following items inside it, if they exist.
    Application Support/Conduit
    InputManagers/CTLoader
    LaunchAgents/com.conduit.loader.agent.plist
    ScriptingAdditions/ct_scripting.osax
    Close the Finder windows you opened. Log out and log back in.
    I've seen a report that Conduit may be bundled with a scam "utility" called "MacKeeper." If you installed MacKeeper, you should remove it according to the developer's instructions. It's worthless and causes many problems reported on this site.

    Not a solution yet, but received the following from one of the tech people I've been e-mailing back & forth with.
    "I'm sorry that you have been unable to submit your podcast. The podcast submission form is currently offline. When trying to submit the podcast you will receive this message "We are Currently Experienced Technical Difficulties". Once the issue has been resolved, I would be glad to inform you.
    Apple is currently working toward a resolution for the issue you have reported. You will receive an email after the matter has been investigated and further information is available."
    Who knows, maybe the problem isn't with my feed after all.

  • HT1553 I did the back up as instructed... Installed a larger hard drive and followed the restore instructions... Now I get a white screen with a folder icon and blinking question mark. When trying to set startup with new drive I get a bless tool error...

    I did the back up as instructed... Installed a larger hard drive and followed the restore instructions... Now I get a white screen with a folder icon and blinking question mark. When trying to set startup with new drive I get a bless tool error... Help!!

    If you have installed a new hard drive , you will need to have formatted it in Disk Utility correctly. This may explain your problem.
    Boot  into your 10.6 Install disk again at the top menubar > Utilities > select Disk utility and in there select your new hard drive, and select the tab Erase and choose to make the format as  Mac OS Extended Journaled. When that is finished look in the main window to make sure that the partition map scheme says GUID Partition Table.
    Now go to the Restore tab and reinstall from your backup.

  • When trying to set up my eprint account. I get an error message my email

    When trying to set up my eprint account. The error message is my email address is on file and I need to sign in, then when using my password, I am told I need to set up an account for the eprint center.

    The issue you're experiencing is most likely due to an old Snapfish account registered under your email address. ePrintCenter and Snapfish account information is stored in the same place and I've seen this conflict before. You will need to go to http://www.snapfish.com/snapfish/welcome, click the "Sign In" in the top right hand corner of the page and then click the "forgot password" link and enter the email address that is causing your problems, you should receive an email from Snapfish that will let you create a new password there. Once you've created a new password for Snapfish, try to Sign In on ePrintCenter (http://www.eprintcenter.com/) using your email address and the new password you created for Snapfish.

  • When trying to set up automatic  syncing , on my iPod Nano, I get a notice that I am synced to another unknown computer.  How do I get unsynced from this other computer ? Have I been hacked ?

    When trying to set up automatic  syncing , on my iPod Nano, I get a notice that I am synced to another unknown computer.  How do I get unsynced from this other computer ? Have I been hacked ?

    Well, most of what we can tell you is already stated in the message you are getting.  A phone can only sync with one library at a time.  You have apparently synced your phone with a different iTunes library in the past, or changes have been made to this library so the phone no longer recognizes it as the library with which it was synced.  To know which you will have to provide the information.
    If you bought them using the AppleID you use with this phone it may simply be easier to re-download them directly to the phone rather than sync them, though you will want to resolve that issue at some point.

    Hi smrkevin,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community.
    What version of BlackBerry Desktop Software do you have installed? If you do not have the latest version listed here: http://bbry.lv/ds97JW I would advise upgrading it.
    If you already have the latest version of Desktop Software, can you verify if you are running a Click to Run installation of Outlook? You can check this in Outlook -> Help -> About Microsoft Outlook. If you are using a Click to Run installation, you will need to install a full version of Microsoft Outlook to setup synchronization. For more information, see: http://bbry.lv/qDIoXO
    Hope this helps.
