IPad Can’t Connect to Gmail Server

Problem: iPad Can’t Connect to Gmail Server

This can be the absolutely worst problem to have, especially when you need to connect to your e-mail. Fortunately, this is a pretty resolvable problem, and often, it is user error that makes it happen.

Potential solutions:

• Public WiFi. Often, this problem occurs when connected to a public wifi because you have not accepted the terms of use. Simply open up Safari (or your preferred browser) and a page should pop up asking you to ‘log in’ to the public wifi. This solution should work once you are logged in.
• Home WiFi. Reset your router, and turn off and back on your iPad. This fixes most problems.
• Reset Things. Turn on Airplane mode. Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Turn off Airplane mode. Try to connect to the wifi again.

• Mail Settings. Sometimes, your mail settings can become corrupt, inaccurate, or something else, and you should go into your mail settings to check whether your they are accurate.
• Password Issues. You might have forgotten that you changed your password in Gmail, and now your iPad account is not up-to-date. Check your passwords and ensure they line-up correctly.
• Compromised Account. This is obviously the worst case scenario, but your account might be compromised. If you try to log in to Gmail from a computer, and you are unable to, you might have had your settings changed by someone else. Contact Google to determine how to fix this.
