Why won't mail stay synced with iCloud?

Every time I go into the settings for icloud and my email accounts the box for mail syncing is unchecked. So i check it again and as soon as i go out of that page and back in it is unchecked again. Why on earth is this happening? and how do i fix it?

Same here, can someone enlighten me why mail does not want to stay checked in the iCloud prefs? As soon as I check the box Mail & Notes, it says starting, I close the window, reopen it and it is deselect again. Drives me nuts!
I have one Apple ID, one account for as long as we had .mac addresses. Nothing weird or special. I must be missing something.
My iPad1 and iPhone4 and MacbookAir it functions as it should except on my iMac.
Running on both computers Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3 (11D50b) and the latest on IOS on the devices.
Another thing that has me baffled is the double addressing when I start a new mail.
It says from: [email protected] and next to it [email protected](icloud). Why?
I still do not see any features in this iCloud business at all. Syncing my iPhone and iPad over wifi via iCloud is horrible slow and takes hours. Syncing and backing up to computer is blazing fast because of the FIOS. I'm still willing to give it a try but these issues have me baffled. If someone has the answer please let me know! ;-)

Why won't Mail.app connect to iCloud mail?

I'm having a problem getting Mail app to connect to iCloud, iOS and iCloud web mail seem to be working fine with my @me.com/@iCloud.com address but Mail app on my mac is showing wh I try to add my account:
The iCloud IMAP server “p03-imap.mail.me.com” is not responding. Try checking the network connection, and that the server name is correct. Otherwise, the server might be temporarily unavailable. If you continue, you might not be able to receive messages.
Gmail has/is connected fine, why not iCloud?
Thanks!

My internet connection is fine, but it won't let me change my incoming mail server to the icloud address. What do I do?
When you set up an iCloud account, it should set the correct incoming and outgoing mail servers. Why do you wish to change the servers? What are they showing that you think is not correct?

Why won't my itouch sync with my windows computer?

So recently I updated from IOS 4.2.1 to IOS 5.0.1 and found my windows xp computer would not sync with my ipod touch as i kept on getting an error. Well i download itunes on my windows 7 computer and it worked fine. Now when i try to plug in my ipod touch in my windows xp itunes wont even detect the itouch. Anyone have a clue to why this is? I have looked on the requirements for itunes 10 and im pretty sure my laptop meets up to it. Is it a driver issue? or what? I had a lot of stuff on the backfile when it was in IOS 4.2.1 and i don't wanna lose my files. I will downgrade to a earlier software if i have to but please can anyone help me with my problem??

That is really not a good ideal since if your iPod crashes you will loose your iTunes purchased music since it is not on your computer and you only get one download of music.

HT1386 why won't my ipod sync with a song I just purchased on my computer?

Itunes shows that I purchased a song, but it won't sync with my ipod. The song shows up in my purchase history. How do I get it on my ipod?

Try:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
What happens when you try to sync?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
Do you have any Restrictions (Settings>General>Restrictions) set that would prevent syncing those songs?

Why won't my iphone5 sync with my itunes?

Awhile back my computer had caught a virus and I had to take it to my dad for him to fix it. Now before all that had happened my iphone5 had now problems syncing to the iTunes in my computer. Since I got my computer back, I was told that everything had to be dumped from my computer, so I had to download iTunes again back into my computer. But now my iphone5 won't sync with my computer. It claims that my phone is synced with another iTunes, and that the only way to sync it to my computer is to dump everything that is in my phone!! I don't understand how it can't recognize my iphone5! Its the same computer and the same phone, but i just won't sync! I don't want to erase ANYTHING from my phone!! I just want it in my iTunes so I can put it all in my new iphone6+!!!

If you've had the OS reinstalled on the computer then it's likely that it will be being seen as a a different computer.
See if the instructions on this page work : Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive
If you want to copy your content back from the phone then you should be able to copy iTunes purchases back via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases
For non-iTunes purchases (e.g. music copied from CDs), and if you haven't got it on your backup of your library, then there are some programs listed half-way down this page which should be able to copy it back : Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device
(I've asked for your post to be moved to the Using iPhone forum, where you've posted is for questions about the iTunes app.)

Why won't my iPod sync with new, empty library?

Had some problems with my laptop and had to reformat hard disk. Stupidly, didn't back up iTunes library. All the songs are still on the iPod but I can't download them to iTunes. Error message says iPod cannot sync with this library becasue it is set up to sync with another library (I assume that's the one I erased). Is there any way to download the songs on my iPod into a library on my laptop? Thanks for any help you can provide.

Connect your iPod to your computer. When you get the message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use our iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. The transfer of content sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:

Floola Mac & Windows
iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

Why won't my Ipod sync with my new laptops outlook calendar

I had no problem syncing my Ipod touch with my old lap top but when I tried to sync it with my new lap top (with windows 7 & outlook 2010) it won't sync with my calendar? New items don't appear, any ideas?

Why won't my ipod sync with iTunes?

I have a first gen iPod Touch, running iOS5.1.1
When I connect to iTunes, it is recognized, and I can manually sync. However even when syncing, no new music or photos move onto the iPod. It just rattles through the sync stages & nothing changes
I used to think this was a memory issue, but I still have 1GB free space & I am not trying to add so much that it will completely fill (as far as I can tell)
Any suggestions?
thanks

1 GB of free space is not much.
You must have a 3G iPod since those can go to iOS 5.1.1. A 1G can only go to 3.1.3
First verify your sync settings
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
Next backup and restore from backup via iTunes
Last, restore to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

Why won't my iMessage sync with my new phone?

I recently upgraded phones to an iPhone 6, but iMessage from my Mac doesn't seem to want to sync with my phone. If I send an iMessage using my Mac, it sends the message through gmail rather than using my phone number. I'm sure it's something simple that I'm missing, but I can't seem figure this one out.
Thank you in advance!

Hi,
In that case you will most likely have to Contact Apple Support.
The Mac version we know use the Serial Number as a way of confirming the Apple ID and Location are "you".
It seems likely that something about the iPhone is also used for it's registration.
If you did not "de-register" the original iPhone it may be it is rejecting the new one.
This will in effect be an Apple ID issue (although in this case it is your phone number) It is only linked to the iMessages server.
As an Account issue the "Fix" should be free. However you may have to ask to speak to a Level 2 person as Level 1 people are very Script led and try to place all calls as "software" or "hardware" issues that charged fro after Apple Care has run out.
Remember you are also entitled to 90 days of Apple Care with a new device.

TS2776 Any ideas why my Outlook 2010 is syncing with iCloud for e-mail but not for contacts and calendars? I am not a novice user and have done all the obvious things. The situation is odd because the original calendars all came from Outlook in the first

I use iMac, iPad and iPhone but also an HP laptop. I have used Macs since 1986 so I am not a novice. I set up my iCloud account, moving from MobileMe recently and everything works fine on my Apple devices. The bizarre thing is I can see all my e-mail accounts via iCloud in Outlook but the contacts and calendars are not syncing in Outlook even though the original calendar material came from Outlook (the contacts data is all from the iMac). I've tried all the obvious things and read most of the articles on the Apple Support website. All the relevant boxes are checked on the iCloud dashboard on each device but I just wondered if I was missing something obvious. I'm sure some of you will have had the same expereince and solved it. Can you help me?
Thanks in anticipation!

Why won't iPhone 4s sync with iMac 10.9.5

My IPhone 4S (8.0.2) won't sync contact list to my I-Mac (10.9.5)
I have tried to follow all the complex instructions in Help (which is written by programmers and not teachers) to no avail.
The IPhone shows up in ITunes; the correct contact list displays in ICloud; but the Mac is not picking it up.
Suggestions.
I want nothing to do with the cloud but am forced into it. I've only had the iPhone for eight months, but it has aged me 15 years.
Thanks!

Did that days ago with no success.
I have followed every instruction I can find, and even threatened both devices. Nothing.
I've had Macs for 12 years so am no novice.
Alas, I was forced to get an IPhone 8 months ago because a client wanted to text me, and my flip phone wouldn't cut it. It has been a source of continual aggravation. All I want to do is text, make phone calls, and occasionally go on the Net. No music, no photos, no e-mail, no games, no crazy apps, etc. Simple. Well you'd think so.
Genius Bar requires a 25-mile trip, so I turn to the communities first.

Mountain Lion Mail not syncing with iCloud

I have a gmail, yahoo mail, microsoft exchange, and apple email account. I can get all of them to sync on my iPhone, iPad, and iMac. However, for some reason only the Apple email shows up on iCloud. I deleted my account and signed out of iCloud on the iMac to hopefully restart but the iCloud mail on Safari is not syncing at all. If someone has a solution to this problem that would be awesome. Thank you.

Mine too is not syncing.
In fact it has become un-usable !!!!!
- When I delete emails from my exchange account, they are initially deleted but then are restored ?
- emails which contain invites to appointments, are not imported to Calendar
- drafts, which I save are not saved.
It is a complete pain, and is resulting in my having to look for another email client.
PLEASE APPLE SORT THIS OUT !!!!

Why won't my tower synch with iCloud

I upgraded my MacPro to Mountain Lion, so my tower should synch with my laptop and iPhone. Yet even though I have the setting in iCloud in System Preferences set for Contacts and Calendar, neither is pulling in the information from the other devices. Any suggestions of what to check?

Contacts.
First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.
This user tip might help you understand how accounts work with Contacts (Address Book).
Calendars.
First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.
