have tried everything but when i try to add my gmail account to my ipad2 it says the username and password are wrong even though i can sign in with the same username and password on my main computer i have tried adding manually and through exchange but still wont work any ideas?

There are a couple of possibilities, so let's try the easy stuff first. Several Members have had this problem and, on a number of occasions, the solution was simply that, by default, the iPad capitalises the first letter of what it thinks is a new sentence. So, if your password is all lower-case, check carefully as you type it in that the iPad isn't automatically setting the first letter to a capital. If it is, then backspace and cancel the Shift key before typing the first letter.

If it's not that problem, get back to us; we have some more ideas!! But, as I said, let's try the easy stuff first...

Good Luck

thanks for your reply have done that and still saying its incorrect

Is 'Settings', 'General', 'Restrictions', 'Accounts' set to 'Off'?

If it's 'On' this will prevent you from adding a new email account.

Don't worry - plenty more ideas if that one doesn't work....

Wow - it's windy up here in the NE of Scotland, hope it's not too bad with you...

Tim

Aargh - it should be 'On' - ie. allow changes...typo

they are set to off and cant seem to set them to on maybe it just me

When adding the GMail account, use your full GMail address "username@gmail.com" for the user ID, user name, whatever.

You can also try adding your GMail account as an Exchange account. This will let you sync you contacts and multiple calendars. Instructions below.

Setting up Google Sync with your iOS device : Mail, Calendar, & Contacts - Google Mobile Help

have tried always putting in the full address and have tried to add it through exchange still no luck

I'm out of good ideas. Next.

I had a similar problem when i tried to help my brother submitting gmail account to his ipad2 this morning
I went crazy cause there was nothing wrong with anything but it just kept saying 'wrong password'
I tried his gmail account to my iphone there and what the hell it didn't work on my iphone neither
I came to think that this could be a network problem so i turned my iphone's hot spot on and hooked his ipad to it
And guess what it worked
This may sound strange though the problem was the name of the AP
I changed my brother's AP name which was consisted with alphabet, underbar and some numbers to just alphabets
Try this

Ok, it late at night for me, so I'm probably just slow. What is the AP name?
