ActiveSync mail/contacts/calendars removed after Active Directory account is locked out?
Hey guys,
Wondering if anybody has seen an issue like this. This is a new Exchange 2010 deployment (8+ CAS servers) and the devices are all iPhones/iPads running the latest version of iOS (7.1.2). The CAS servers are behind a load-balancer.
Basically when a users' Active Directory account is Locked in AD (either manually or by entering the wrong password) their ActiveSync Contacts, Calendars and all Mail folders (except the Inbox strangely!) will be removed from the iOS device within a few hours. So an account might get locked out at say 6pm, if left locked out by the next morning the ActiveSync account will still be setup on the device as normal, but everything is gone except the mail in the Inbox. If a user has an iPad and iPhone both will be blanked.
The behaviour is similar to what is documented here - iOS: How to mitigate a full sync or reload of Exchange account data - however the Exchange servers are not issuing HTTP500 errors as we have captured logging during the window where the device blanks itself.
Any thoughts would be appreciated!
Thanks!
Hello,
which event ids are shown in the event viewer from the DCs? Or maybe locally also some errors are locked that give some more details.
If this happens it sounds personally for me that Java is the problem. Have you already opened a call at

About the Mac
I recently updated to Yosemite and now I am having problems with the above mentioned apps, not opening at all.
I am unable to check to which version its update to, or even update to next version.You ran a defective third-party "utility" such as "CleanMyMac" or "MacCleanse" that purports to "clean up" "junk" files. What it really does is to corrupt the operating system and many applications.
The first thing you need to do is remove that software according to the developer's instructions. Never install it, or anything like it, again. Then see below. If you use any iWork applications, you may need to delete them and redownload them from the App Store.
If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS.* You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
If you use FileVault 2, then before running the Installer you must launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the FileVault startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) It will be nested below another icon, usually with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar and enter your login password when prompted. Then quit Disk Utility to be returned to the main Recovery screen.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode. All other data will be preserved.
*The linked support article refers to OS X 10.10 ("Yosemite"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later. -
Mail contacts calendars missing in settings after 3.0
After I upgraded to the 3.0 firmware, the mail contacts calendars section under settings is missing completely. Anyone experienced this or know of a fix short of wiping the phone?
I can confirm that what /Esnes/ suggested fixed the problem of having no Mail, Contacts, Calendars option in Settings.
I wonder what other options are m.i.a. due to apps being 'hidden' or 'tucked away' in a 'folder'? Has me curious.
Thanks, /Esnes/! No idea why contacts are sorted by Last, First by default... maddening! -

Removing Accounts From Mail, Contacts & Calendars
So, I have a problem with something that's just idly bothering me. Recently I've deleted my Twitter account and have no idea how to remove the account from the list of accounts I have linked with my laptop in the Mail, Contacts & Calendars. It's probably a really simple fix, but I'm not computer savvy in the last. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Open System Preferences > Mail, Contacts and Calendars, and choose the Twitter account in the sidebar. Then, below this sidebar, you will see a - button:
Press it and this Twitter account will be deleted -
After upgrading my ipad 2 to iOS5 I can't access mail, contacts, calendars option
Hi All,
Newbie here so please go easy!
My problem is that after upgrading my iPad 2 to iOS5 I can't access the mail, contacts, calendars option from general settings or even from the Mail program. This is therefore preventing me from setting up anymore than one e-mail account.
Do I need to do a system reset / restore? If so how do I do a system reset in particular?
Any help would be appreciated.Hi,
Thanks for reply. Sorry for delay in responding, for some reason I wasn't able to respond using my iPad so am using my iPhone.
The restrictions have not been enabled at all, so I assume that this should not really make a difference. I also have an iPhone 4 and have upgraded this to iOS5 but have no issues accessing the Mail, Contacts, Calendar option from general settings. This also does not have restrictions enabled therefore appears to have the same setup as my iPad but with no problems.
Sorry once again for the delay in responding.
Many thanks -
in setting-mail,contacts,calendars, all my accounts as well as Add Account shows in grey, non activated. Any suggestions?
Hey Jeremy,
From the Enterprise Deployment Guide:
+Important: When you configure a device to sync with Exchange, all existing calendar+
+and contact information on the device is overwritten. Additionally, iTunes no longer+
+sync contacts and calendars with your desktop computer. You can still sync your device+
+wirelessly with MobileMe services.+
+To change how many day’s worth of data is synced to your device, go to Settings >+
+Mail, Contacts, and Calendars. The default setting is three days.+

Hi,
Upgraded new Ipad2 to IOS5.0.1.Unable to open Contacts.... closes instantly. Also unable to access Mail,Contacts, Calendars in Settings.
Turned on iCloud and attempted to turn on Contacts (solution suggested elsewhere). Its asks if 'Merge Contacts'. Selecting 'Merge' crashes settings back to homepage.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.I have the same problem. This was a very expensive Christmas present to myself. I spent Christmas morning setting it up & updating the software only to find that clicking the “mail, contacts etc.” in settings sends me straight back to the home screen. Does anyone at Apple read these forums? Although I have been using computers for years, on a recommendation from an Apple user this was my first Apple purchase, at this rate it will be my last.What happens if "Restore" in iTunes is used?

Unable to enable option “Mail, Contacts, Calendars, and Tasks with Outlook” under iCloud 3.0 Control Panel.
Get following error when clicking checkbox to enable it under iCloud 3.0 Control Panel.
"Setup can't continue because Outlook isn't configured to have a default profile. Check your Outlook settings and try again."
Have tried the following:
Uninstalled / reinstalled iCloud 3.0 control panel
Removed all mail accounts from Outlook 2013 except MS account
Confirmed Outlook was chosen for “Always uses this profile” under Control Panel – Mail (MicroSoft Outlook 2013) – show profiles
Still get the same error when trying to enable the option under iCloud 3.0 Control Panel
PC is running Windows 8.1 (64 bit)
Outlook 2013 was just installed on the PC as part of new Office 2013 installationTwo more things:
First, sorry for the bad spelling, grammar, and all of that. English isn't my first language and I'm so frustrated at this point I'm not paying any attention to it. Sorry!
Second, after trying to repair again the icloud 3.0 through the Control Panel of Windows, guess what? It made Offce to crash again! Now I will have to install it again.

My Applications, Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Safari, Notes, Documents, & Data, Find My iPad, Because of Inactivity iCloud not open.
Habibullah Allah Yar
<Personal Information Edited by Host>These are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to Apple here, so I've asked the hosts to remove your email address, postal addresses and phone numbers from your post.
I'm not entirely sure what you are saying, but if those apps are crashing then have you tried toggling them 'off' and 'on' via Settings > iCloud ? And if that doesn't fix it then try closing them via the iPad's taskbar : from the home screen (i.e. not with any app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of each app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
You could also try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
If it's a different problem ... ? -
I updated my Mac to Mavericks and after that, I can't open the Mail, Contacts and Calendar preferences.
Every time I try, I get the following message:
"You can’t open Mail, Contacts & Calendars preferences because it doesn’t work on an Intel-based Mac."
I tried this workaround from the Mountain Lion thread (https://discussions.apple.com/message/21303574#21303574) but it didn't worked.
Further I deleted all files in the Library Preferences folder, but it didn't helped also.
Can anyone help me please?Hi Michael,
I had the same problem. And I found a fix.
I noticed that on a different system running Mavericks without any problems, the preference pane isn't called 'Mail, Contacts & Calendars' anymore, it's now called 'Internet accounts'. The fact that it's still called by the old name on your system, means it somehow wasn't replaced while updating to Mavericks.
So the cure is pretty easy:
On a different Mavericks system, go to /System/Library/PreferencePanes/ and copy the file InternetAccounts.prefPane. Take it to the system you're trying to fix, and paste the prefPane file in the same directory. Reboot, and it should all work fine. At least it did in my case.
Cheers

I'm trying to figure out how to NOT store my mail on the iCloud server. I was directed to first go to ""system preferences," then "internet and wireless," and then "mail, contacts, calendars," except I don't have a folder for "mail, contacts, and calendars." Why wouldn't it show up?
I'm on Macbook Air, OS 10.6.8Thanks, it was linked in iPhoto. After removing it from iPhoto I still got the same message when trying to delete the account from Mail. After rebooting, I was able to remove the account from Mail.

BB 10 device will not synchronizer mail, contacts, calendar
Hi,
I have a user (userA) who has a BB 10 device. One day it just stopped synchronizing mail, contacts, calendar items.
Basic Troubleshooting done:
- Re-Initialized user on Mobility 2.0.1 build 53 server, NO DICE
- Security wipe on device, then relaoded OS with BB link desktop software, then deleted user from mobility, restarted mobility server, re-added user back to mobility server, re-added account back to BB 10 device, NO DICE
More Thorough Troubleshooting done:
- setup spare IOS device for userA, works! (but not ideal as this is just a wifi ipad only)
- setup my account on the BB 10 device in question, works! (but not ideal as this is userA's device and not mine)
- setup userA on a legacy BB 5 device, so a BES 5 server, and a BB bold. It syncs her contacts and calendar items, but not her mail items!!! Separate mobility system. =/
- Used the dsapp to forcibly remove the userA from the mobility server's database after I have deleted the userA from the server, then restarted the mobility server, does not seen to help
- checked userA's folder list in the "Edit Device settings" section on the Mobility server admin web page and it is empty. It should have a list of folders that you can select to sync to the device, but it is empty.
- ran several GroupWise checks on the userA's mailbox. Contents and structure. Also did a Structural Rebuild on her GW account. Did not seem to help. And no errors of significance detected.
Concluding thoughts:
- I think that it is userA account that is messed up. The BB 10 device works fine with other accounts.
- userA account works partially on a legacy BB 5 device
- But the strange thing is that userA account works on an IOS device
Current Mobility server:
Mobility 2.0.1 build 53
Current devices on Mobility server:
216 devices (13 Androids, 15 BB 10's, 75 IOS ipads, 112 IOS iphones, 1 IOS ipod)
Please, if anyone has come across this please comment back.
I wish I could post screenshots of userA account on the mobility server, but I didn't see the option here.
Thanks.In article <[email protected]>, Aporzec wrote:

You've done most of the basics I would of done, a very nice and
refreshingly complete troubleshooting process you've done so far. So
the following you may have done already. I use a BB Q10 myself on two
different GMS systems and haven't had such a problem.
- In dsapp, am assuming you've run the General Health Check (7,1) as
well has recently run a vacuum.
- on the User's content checks, that they run error free.
- Make sure that the user GW main folders are still where they should
be, a Contents check with resfldr in the misc area does that trick.
- Are there any errors in the GMS logs? Not sure which on this would
end up under in /var/log/datasync/* also the POA logs when any of the
syncs are being attempted.
- confirmed that both the Mobility server and the POA aren't hitting
any memory, disk, or cpu limits (free -m, df -h, top)
- Any language other than English involved? If so are languages
consistant?
- Anything unusual about the user's mail box? Such as Size, over large
messages, lots of messages/folders, a recent name/id change
after that I'd be looking at the new GMS 2.1 that is finally available,
and then opening an SR.

ICloud Mail, Contacts, Calendar & Tasks setup error
I am trying to install iCloud on my PC (Windows 7 64 bit) and the installation seems to complete fine but after I restart and login and try to setup Mail, Contacts, Calendars and Tasks I get an error pop up on the screen saying the iCloud Control Panel Installation did not set up properly and that I need to repair it. When I click on reports it shows this error:
The iCloud Control Panel did not install properly. To repair it, you need to go to Programs and Features, select iCloud from the program list and click Change. When prompted, click on Repair. <a href="repair">Open Programs and Features…</a>
Error: 0x80004005: DataProviderRegistered
Error: 0x80004005: ZebraMapiCopySession::CanCreateZebraStore: CreateMessageService failed
Can someone please help me set this up successfully as I have been trying everything for a whole day now including repairing Outlook. There is no evidence that iCloud has been setup in Outlook before but it has previously so I know it can work together (I removed it some time ago when PhotoStream stopped updating).
Any help would be fantastic, thank you!This drove me nuts for a week. I tried everything, uninstalling and reinstalling both Outlook and iCloud Control Panel multiple times. But today I finally fixed it and everything is syncing perfectly again! You need to shut down your PC and restart in SAFE MODE WITH NETWORKING (so repeatedly hit F8 when it is booting up and select that option). Once the PC has started in this mode, open up the iCloud control panel, select the Mail, Contacts Calendars and Tasks check box, click Apply, and hopefully it should work (as it did for me)! Good luck!
