    Hello 10thCOMMANDMENT,

     

    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!

     

    After reading through your question, I understand that you are unable to get Gmail calendars to work on your iPod touch. When viewing your Gmail account in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars do you see this screen shown below?

     

    

     

    Add an email account to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

     

    If you enable Calendars from this screen, you should have your Gamil calendar available in the Calendar application. 

     

    Cheers!

    Hi Joe,

     

    Yes, I Do See & Have The Option Of Turning On/Off (To Sync Or Not To Sync) All Of The Categories Listed (except for the Reminders) In The Pic Of The Gmail Account Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars That You Have Attached In Ypur Reply To My Initial Question.


    I Have Them Turned On To Sync (except for the contacts, because I Use iCloud contacts); With The Received Message Of 'Account Saved Successfully'. Then, Approximayely Two Minutes Later, I Get A Pop-Up That Says "Please Re-Enter Password"; And Upon Opening That Gmail Account,

    I'm Greeted With This:

    2016-02-16 06.57.51-1.png



    Thus, After I Re-Enter My Password, I Receive Another 'Successfully Saved' Message.  Then, Approximayely Two Minutes Later, I Get This Final Pop-Up:

    2016-02-16 06.56.08-1.png

     

    Now Mind You, I Was First And Only Been Requested To RE-ENTER My PASSWORD, And iPod Touch 5th Gen. iOS 9.2.1 Response Is That I Entered The Wrong Email Address, To My Gmail Account That It Singled Out.

    Thanks for replying with this information. 

     

    To continue troubleshooting, I would suggest deleting your Gmail account from the iPod touch and then adding it back. It sounds like you are doing everything correct, but simply removing the account and adding it back fresh may resolve this situation. 

     

    1. Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
    2. Tap the email account.
    3. Tap Delete Account.
    4. Add your account again.

    Best!
