Mail and Notes won't enable in Mavericks

Ok so here's what happened. My "Send to iOS" in Maps wasn't showing up. So I followed the steps to get it to appear. I turned iCloud off and back on. After turning it back on I noticed my Mail and Notes were not activated.
Mail tells me:
"Your iCloud Mail account could not be enabled.
Try enabling Mail again."
and Notes tells me:
"Notes can't be enables at this time.
Wait a moment and then try turning on Notes again."
Someone please help me figure this out. These two apps are a big part of my life.

Ok so don't ask me how, but they just started working this morning.

Mail and Notes problems in Mavericks

I've just installed Mavericks and I'm instantly having problems with Mail and Notes. To wit:
1) Prior to the upgrade, I had dozens of messages flagged. Now, almost no messages show up as flagged.
2) Some Smart Mailboxes now only display only a handful of messages, when before the upgrade some of those boxes contained dozens, if not hundreds of messages.
3) Now that Notes has been separated from Mail (I skipped Mountain Lion altogether) I can't get my iCloud notes to sync to the new app.
Any guesses or advice?
Thank you,
Jeff

Hello Oskar98,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing when importing video from your camera into iMovie. I was not sure of the exact steps you took to import the video footage, and I wanted to provide the steps to confirm you are following all the steps.
Try importing the footage from your camera by clicking on the link that refers to your camera type and following the steps in the related article:
To create movies in iMovie, you must import (transfer) your video footage from your camera to your Mac. You can import from most types of cameras, including:
iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch
File-based cameras
Tape-based cameras
You can find additional information about importing at the following link:

Mail and Notes stopped working on my Macbook after 10.8.5 upgrade iOS7 upgrade

Hello
I recently upgraded my system to 10.8.5.
I also recently upgraded my 2 iphones to iOS7.
Then i found out my Notes were not syncing on my macbook pro, but the sync works fine on both iphones and when i check the iCloud website, they are also updated.
Then mail also stopped working and after reading some posts on this forum, i understand that mail and notes are somehow connected (both using IMAP?)..
I can't configure my iCloud email account on the mail app, i get a "iCloud IMAP « p03-imap.mail.me.com » not responding" answer, whatever i do. I tried deleting the account, deleting all entries linked to the mail app in the keychain, changing my iCloud password to match new apple password requirements.... nothing works.
And all my other email accounts don't work anymore either. Mail just won't connect with any Imap or Pop server.
My internet works fine, I can access all those emails account via webmail interfaces.
Again, my iCloud works fine on all other iOS7 devices.
What's the problem??
Thanks

Mail.
Hold down the option key and go to Finder/Go, then select your User Library. Select Containers/com.apple.mail. Move the folder com.apple.mail to your desktop. You must move the entire folder, not just the contents.
Re-launch Mail and test. If the problem is solved, recreate any required Mail settings and import any emails you want to save from the folder on the desktop. You can then put the folder in the Trash. If the problem remains, return the folder to where you got it replacing the one that is there.

Hello, HenryWang2103.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
The Safari, Email and Notes applications are native to the iOS and is unable to be deleted. Since this is the case, they are either in a folder on the iPhone, on another page or Restrictions are enabled. You can also search for these Apps on the iPhone by touching the screen and sliding your finger down. Here is some information regarding these features. The information about folders is located in the user guide below.

Cannot activate iCloud Mail and Notes

Hello,
I just bought a new 13" Retina MacBook Pro with Mavericks. I set up my iCloud account and everything works except Mail and Notes.
Do you have any idea on how to fix this really annoying bug?

Migrated from @me.com (when iCloud was released). I tried to disconnect/reconnect and log in with @me.com. No success so far.

I can't type with Chinese Input Methods in Mail and Notes

Today I suddenly can't type/input any word or character in Mail and Notes
when the input method switches to any Chinese input method like Zhuyin, Yahoo KeyKey and Bopomofo.
Even the cursor won't move when I press the " ↑↓←→"
The keyboard just doesn't work from " ` " to "→" when it comes to Chinese input methods.
However,
the keyboard works well as soon as I switch to English input method and I can type English in Mail and Notes.
I can type with any Chinese input methods in Chrome, TextEdit, Reminder, iPhoto, Contacts,......etc..
Is there something wrong with Mail and Notes?
Could anyone help me solve the problem?
Thank you!

Thank you, Tom.
I have posted my issue there and hope for the best
btw,
I had the same problem (cannot input any word and move the cursor with Chinese input methods) in Evernote.
Evernote Support helped me solve it.
Here is how it works (for Evernote only).
Ticket # 16051-XXXXX
We believe that reinstalling the latest Mac version may address the issue that you reported. Please perform the following steps:
Quit Evernote from the elephant icon in the Menu Bar
Drag the Evernote application to the system Trash
Reboot your Mac
Download and install the latest version of the Mac client:
http://www.evernote.com/about/download/get.php?file=EvernoteMac
When you open the download, make sure to drag the Evernote icon into the Applications folder instead of running it from within the installer package.
Eject the disk image and delete the installer file before you runEvernote.
Let us know how this works for you.
Thank you.

Hi vichochile,
If you are having an issue with syncing your new iPhone with the information that is in iCloiud (and on your other devices) we should make sure that iCloud is set up correctly on the iPhone. See this page for directions -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Mail and Notes

My home email is RoadRunner which is not compatible with the iPhone at all .. tho there was a time when I could at least get my emails even tho I couldnt reply .. its a RoadRunner/ATT snafu over security. Then the incoming stopped and I decided I didnt need it, I have Gmail and my office's email, so I deleted it from the iPhone but didnt delete it from the iTunes iPhone Info page ... of course when I synched it reappeared so I deleted it from the iTunes Info page .. and lost all my NOTES .. a call to Apple Help resulted in me restoring a previous back up but not the Notes .. the Apple Tech seemed positive Mail and Notes are not linked .. well they are .. delete one and the other goes .. there should be some sort of warning, dont you think?
Tonite I am going to try TimeMachine and see if I can get back what I lost .. if I cant I have learned a valuable lesson .. never delete!!!!
Has this happened to anyone else .. if so did using a back up from TimeMachine restore the lost info?

Mail and notes request an icloud email address

Although I have set up an iCloud account a while ago I have yet not been using it.
After installing OS X 10.8.2 and IOS 6 on my MBA and iDevices I decided to have a look at iCloud.
I logged on iCloud .com and accessed to the main window. All but Mail and Notes were working.
Those two are asking me to provide an iCloud.com valid email address.
I do have a "me.com" email account, but it does not take it as it forces an icloud.com extension.
If I try to create an icloud address it refuses it as it says it's already being used.
I really do not understand the problem I am facing.
Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong, and help me have iCloud up and running.
Thanks In advance

Thank you for your help.
I start to understand the issue. My iCloud account is [email protected]
I did what you suggested and logged into iCloud with my "me.com" email adress. And Mail and Notes did launch. The issue is that I do not use this account in my everyday work.
Does that mean that iCloud Mail and Notes request an 'me.com' address to work. That seemms strange and confusing since the other services do accept the 'orange.fr' address.
Is there a workaround? I should not be the only one using iCloud with my Internet provider address.
Looking forward to reading your suggestions.
Thanks

I have an 8GB ipod touch and suddenly I'm able to access only the "sent" mailbox of Mail and not the other mailboxes. I turned on and off. I connected it to MacBook but still I can't access the other mailboxes.

- Try resetting the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Can you access the mail on another device?

When I disconnect my bluetooth keyboard, Safari and Notes won't open the onscreen keyboard

Hi, on iOS 7 when I've dismissed the onscreen keyboard because I'm using my Bluetooth one, but then disconnect my Bluetooth keyboard, I can't get the on-screen one to pop up again in some applications like Safari and Notes. Other applications such as Mail are unaffected.
I Googled this a lot but mostly what comes up are "x tips and tricks for ios 7" articles which don't have anything to do with the problem. The only relavent result that I found recommended I restart my iPad. OK, so I restart my iPad and now the software keyboard works in Safari... That's ridiculous! I don't even want to use my bluetooth keyboard if I have to restart the iPad every time for when I'm not using it!
This apparently affects all bluetooth keyboard models, I use a Logitech FabricSkin folio, but I also have tried it with my Apple Bluetooth keyboard with the same problems.
Tapping in the text area used to bring the keyboard back up, but no more.
Please tell me there is some alternate solution, or a gesture to bring up the keyboard, or something? This is probably the stupidest thing I've seen in iOS 7.
Thanks

I also have the same problem. If you turn off Bluetooth, the virtual keyboard won't come back, especially if you're using Bluetooth speakers as well. Heck, it even rebooted my iPad when I tried this.
I'm very tempted to dump my iPad + Logitech Keyboard if this doesn't get resolved in a timely manner.

Mail stops receiving mail and then won't quit

Since I upgraded to Leopard I have been force quitting Mail. It seems to be associated with .Mac. I open up the activities window and there is always some e-mail stuck receiving in there. When this happens, no more mail is received and the application won't quit. I notice that it also happens if I go to sleep or I switch users.
I have disabled all rules.
I have emptied all mailboxes.
I turned off growl notifications.
I have enough space on .Mac.
I have extended the check mail time.
Honestly, it is pretty annoying. Anyone having this issue?

do you have any other plugin or input manager or transfer of data from Mail to something else running with mail by any chance?
If yes, then you may want to disable and try again.
If no, then have you tried deleting and re-creating your .mac account and see if you still have the same issue?
If that does not solve it, have you tried logging in with a different user account onto your computer, and then setting up your .mac account in Mail and trying to send. If you get the same issues then it may hint at app/system related issues, if you send/receive without an issue then it might be a user specific issue.
If user specific issue I would repair permissions - applications>utilities>disk utility and repair permissions.
hope this helps
