Google has strengthened its security and older operating systems are no longer directly compatible.


To connect your Gmail account on your Mac:


  1. First of all, delete the Gmail account.
  2. Then, you will have to create an application password: Google - Application Password.
  3. Finally, when you add the Gmail account in Mail on your iPad, choose "Other" and not "Google". Fill in your email address and application password.
