I just bought an iPad Air. Now my iPad cannot access any of my GMail accounts. I receive an error message saying that my password is incorrect.
I have reset my passwords several times, but I still cannot access my GMail accounts. What's wrong? How do I fix?
iPad Air Wi-Fi, iOS 7.0.4
Try resetting all settings...

Delete the email account and re-add it.
I did do a reset. No change; I cannot access any of my GMail accounts.
Thanks though for the suggestion.

This is extremely frustrating.
Can you go into gmail.com and sign in through Safari?
Yes. I can access my GMail accounts using my laptop.
I have same problem and have done same suggestions.
What is the solution?
Might add my Gmail works on iOS 7 iPhone 5. Is this a 5s/5c/iPad Air issue?
Problem solved. A combination of doing a lot of Internet research and speaking with a techie.
It seems the problems lies with Google and not Apple. Apparently, Google doesn't like you to access your Google accounts from too many mobile devices. (I was doing so at the time from three devices.) Once I re-initialized my old iPad erasing all data - and waiting about a day - my Google emails accounts worked fine on my new iPad Air.
Not sure why in the world Google does this, but that is the problem and what I wrote is the solution. It seems Google limits us to using only two moble devices.
Problem not solved. My old ipad 2 was wiped and reset to Gazelle a good week prior to activating new ipad. Done all these reset things for past two days, no result.
I had the same problem and fixed it. In my case it was because I have 2-step verification in gmail/google. This causes me to have to enter either a verification number or an application-specific password. I went into gmail settings on my main pc, security, appl-spec passwords, and generated one for the ipad's gmail, which I entered (once) into the ipad under settings, mailcontactscalendars, Gmail, Account.
Hope this helps
