Q: Impossible to add Google Account to iPad
Hi guys,
Had an iPad since the start of January and I have been trying ever since to get my Google Account to sync on my Ipad as I want my Contacts and Calendars.
When I use the settings app to add it, it shows me the page where I choose "Mail", "Calendars" etc for about a second and automatically closes before I can do anything, it doesn't add the account no matter how many times I try.
How can i workaround this problem?

I tried all of the suggestions (bar getting a different device) and managed to stumble across the answer elsewhere.
The issue is that my google account was not configured to use Gmail. Even though I have used it on iPad years ago, they now seem to check Gmail which crashed the settings app if the account does not have it setup.
Now I have reluctantly setup Gmail I am able to sync my Contacts and Calendars, and just switch of the Mail sync.
