Calendar, Contacts, and Reminders do not recognize valid accounts

I have had this problem ever since I moved from MobileMe to iCloud. I have valid email accounts that I can send and receive mail to/from with no problem. When I bring up iCal, Contacts, or Reminders I get a message telling me to provide the password for one of the email accounts. It returns an error saying the login is invalid. HOWEVER, there is nothing wrong with the login information in the account description. It works fine with Mail. I deleted the account and re-added it and Mail found the server account no problem. But iCal, Contacts, and Reminders say that they cannot validate the account against the server.
What server are these apps trying to connect to? What is different about how mail uses the account info as opposed to iCal, Contacts, and Reminders? And why do these apps recognize my other accounts but not this one in particular, even though they are set up identically in every way?
Thanks in advance.

They are different servers, that is the difference.
Change the password for whichever account is referenced when this happens "I get a message telling me to provide the password for one of the email accounts. It returns an error saying the login is invalid.

    mposoff,
    iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Calendar - Apple Support describes, among others, how to make copies of your calendar data. After completing a backup of your calendar data:
    1. Open the Calendars Folder in your ~Library Folder, and move any any files with "Cache" listed in the name field to your Desktop.
    2. Open the Preferences Folder in the ~Library Folder and move the com.apple.iCal.plist file to the Desktop.
    3. Log out/in or restart and open Calendar.
    If those three steps not successful, go back to iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Calendar - Apple Support and follow the appropriate steps in order.

  • ICloud 3.1 only syncs Outlook Mail, not Calendars, Contacts or Reminders

    When I launch iCloud 3.1 on my Win8.1 PC, the program shows Outlook Mail, Calendars, Contacts and Reminders as an option until iCloud completes loading. When it completes loading, it only shows Mail as an option. The other 3 disappear from the window. My iCloud syncs with Outlook 2013 mail perfectly. The other items don't sync. Can anybody help me?

    Same here. I don't mind having my personal appts in the company outlook calendar, but do not want my email sitting in Outlook and on the the company servers.

    I cannot delete this account because I do not have a password and it is not a valid account anymore. How can I remove this account from my iphone 4s ?

    Just because it is an 'old' email doesn't mean it's not a valid Apple ID account.
    Is the email that is showing one of your old email accounts?  If so, did you ever edit your Apple ID and change the primary email of your Apple ID to a new email, or did you simple create a totally new Apple ID?

  • How can I get missing contacts, notes, calendar dates and reminders that are just on my old iphone onto the iCloud for transfer to my new iPhone upgrade?

    Dear wise & wondeful people:
    How can I get missing contacts, notes, calendar dates and reminders that are just on my old iphone onto the iCloud for transfer to my new iPhone upgrade? Half of my contacts, notes, ect. were on my iCloud so have happily moved to my new iPhone but the rest are completely resistant. For example, on my iCloud I have 14 missing contacts starting with the letter A alone, however they are happily viewable on my old iPhone 4S and won't budge over into the iCloud.
    There are also 3 notes missing yet still acessible on my onld iPhone 4S, the list goes on.
    Your help would be most appreciated. Thank you so much.

    I already tried rebooting, and I tried hooking it up to itunes as well, no luck there either.

    Try to reset all settings.
    Settings > General > Reset > Reset all Settings.  It won't delete your data.
    When you say reboot, do you mean you pressed the home and sleep button at the same time until it restarted? 

  • HT204053 I just changed my  Apple Password and icloud does not recognize the password.

    I just changed my  Apple Password and icloud does not recognize the password.

    To change it on your iPhone you have go to Settings>iCloud and delete the account, then set it up again with your new credentials.  When you delete the account from your phone it will delete any data you are syncing with iCloud (such as contacts and calendars) from your phone but it will remain in iCloud.  Provided your are signing back into your existing account and not changing to a new account, it will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.

  • Can 2 iCloud accounts share same Calendar, Contacts, and Photos? (family)

    iPhone #1 (Husband)
    iPhone #2 (wife)
    iMac (Both)
    We do not want to share the same email or reminders... email is personal, but we would like to share photos, contacts, and calendars. Can two iCloud accounts be shared with the same iMac and by doing so the iMac syncs the two accounts in Calandar, Contacts, Photos and merges the two accounts to the one program resulting in both phones containing the same Calendars, Contacts, and Photos???
    Any ideas, tips, tricks, or suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks!

    I posted pretty much the same question on the forum a week [How to share contacts in iCloud?] and did mention that there the subscribe functionality for Calendar (replacement of iCal) works fine, but the issue with Contacts is becoming more critical (as Apple gave up the MobileMe support)... I did increment the count of 'I have the same question' hopefully increasing sight of Apple support team...

  • How can I sync my new iPhone 4S to calendar, contacts, and photos on my MacBook?

    Just bought my first iPhone after 2 years as an Android user. My 2008 MacBook would never talk to the Android, but now - they tell me - I can backup my phone onto my computer and share contacts, calendar and photos with the computer.
    I've plugged the phone into the computer but the computer's Finder doesn't show it. And the phone indicates it's charging but doesn't show any way to swap data.
    I feel like I'm missing something really basic ... but what?

    All of this is handled through iTunes. You must have iTunes installed on the comptuer. Also, you will not be able to see any files in Finder, as the iPhone does not give you access to that information. The only time you will ever see anything from the iPhone in Finder is if you have photos in the Camera Roll.
    After you download and install iTunes, you would set up syncing your device with specific apps on the computer, to handle calendar, contacts, and photos. You might want to start out by thumbing through the User Guide here: http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
