Consolidating E-Mail, Contacts & Calendars with MobileMe and Exchange

OK, now that I have upgraded the software on my iPhone and made my ActiveSync connection to Exchange, I am a little confused. My e-mail is syncing between my office Exchange account and my iPhone, but I need to consolidate the Contacts and Calendars. BTW, I also have a MobileMe account.
When I try to turn on syncing for Contacts and Calendars, I am told that my previous Contacts and Calendars will be deleted. Seems like I don't want to do this. When I look at my e-mail, I can choose to look at either my Mobile Me or my Exchange e-mail. Will I get the same effect with my Contacts and Calendars? Or will they all be consolidated into one? If it's the latter, how can I protect the hundreds of contacts and appointments I already had in my phone before I got to do any of this ActiveSync-ing with Exchange?
Not sure if that's clear... let me restate... What I need is one set of Contacts and Calendars. If I can't consolidate the Exchange and my current iPhone content into one, it's OK. But if I have to consolidate them, what can I do to protect the items I already have in my iPhone?
I'm just not getting the concept here....
Also, I had a dotMac account that is now a MobileMe account. Now my iPhone shows that I have three e-mail addresses (dotMac, MobileMe and Exchange). Can I delete the dotMac account or should I just leave them all in my phone?
Thanks for any help!!

Anil,
Thanks for the information. We do have an OSS message open on this and they have as of yet not recommended any patches. I have also done a search and found nothing. Do you know how I can find that patch or perhaps the OSS note number? We will also update our OSS message.
Thanks,
Mike

I have my contacts synced with icloud and exchange. I want all of them to be synced via icloud, I have tried turning contacts off and then clicking merge but that doesn't copy all of them over. How do I transfer all contacts onto my phone and then icloud?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If you can't do this on a computer, which would be much easier using drag and drop, then you will need to share the contacts with yourself in order to move them to the iCloud account.

Deleting iPhone contacts & syncing with MobileMe

I had been syncing iphone contacts to a mobileme account and then wanted to instead sync them to another mobileme account (the main account in a family). This is a problem since you cannot delete all the contacts on the iPhone (I had 2000 of them.) and iPhone syncing with mobileme does not allow you to replace contacts on the iPhone with what is on mobileme. (iPhone allows only a merge which would duplicate contacts and add many I no longer wanted.) After considering the "solution" offered by a "Genuis" which was to reset the iPhone and start over which is a painful process to reorganize the apps and login all apps that require it, etc. Instead I developed the following procedure that worked great (This was with Mac OS 10.6.8 and IOS 4.3.5):
1) Sync address book on Mac to make sure mobileme is up to date.
2) Backup all the address book to an address book archive and/or select all contacts and save in a vcard file (File -> Export)
3) Uncheck sync of contacts in MobileMe (Apple -> System Preferences -> MobileMe -> Sync tab)
4) Select all contacts in Address Book and hit delete (Edit -> Select All, then hit delete)
5) Select all groups in Address Book and delete (select first group, hold shift and click last group, then hit delete)
6) Connect iPhone and sync. Go to info tab in iTunes and select Sync Address Book Contacts, then Under Advanced, check Replace Information on this iPhone - Contacts. This will transfer contacts (none) from Mac to iPhone which will delete all existing iPhone contacts. Click apply and then sync.
7) After sync, disconnect iPhone and verify there are no contacts on iPhone.
8) On iPhone, go to Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Accounts -> MobileMe (login if you haven't done so), turn on Contacts (to sync with mobileme)
9) In a few minutes, the contacts on the iPhone (none) will be merged with the desired contacts in MobileMe and the contacts in MobileMe should show up in the iPhone Address book - This completes the iPhone.
10) On the Mac, go to Apple->System Preferences->Mobile Me->Sync tab and recheck Contacts. Click Advanced, Reset Sync Data, select only Contacts and transfer contacts from MobileMe cloud to the Mac, and click Replace.
11) In a few minutes, all contacts and groups from MobileMe should show up in the Mac Address book and you are done.

Yes I did select merge.
Did it 2 times without anything happening on iPhone or MobileMe.
Third time it deleted my contacts on the iPhone.
Is there no option to tell it which direction to do the merge/sync?

Features of "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" under Settings menue are disabled

I'm having major issues with the "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" section of settings (in iPhone 5S). I have synchronized my phone with MS office Outlook 2013 for mail, calendar and contacts, it was running well. but problem arise when wanted to erase a account from iphone, I see all features in "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" is disabled and no features of mail accounts can be changed. I need to changed one of my email account but it can not be inputted in iphone, and hence the phone is not exchanging any email. . I am in great trouble. I not even able to delete any account from it. please help me.

I just got off the phone with Apple Support. Fantastic service! I love Apple.
Okay, this is what they had me do, and it fixed all of my issues:
Go to Settings -> General -> Reset -> Reset Network SettingsThis deletes all of your Wi-Fi settings and passwords, among other things, apparently.
The phone thinks for a while, and then restarts.
Go to Settings -> Wi-Fi -> and sign into your Wi-Fi network, as usual
That's IT!!
After that, I was able to delete accounts freely, set up a new account, change the options I wanted, and now everything works beautifully.
It's such a simple fix, and I wish I had thought of it on my own, but I never would've thought that all of these problems were caused by a need to flush out the network settings. Anyway, I hope this might help anyone else who runs into the same problem. Thanks for your help, pdroth.

I have the same problem with iPhone4, iOS5. The only workaround i have found was to disable the contacts and calender for the iCloud account. So much for being able to sync all my Mac products. At least with Mobileme everything but my windows products synced and worked OK.

Full Mail, Contact, Calendar synchronization with multiple devices, Possible?

Looking for the best solution to keep my Mail, Contacts and Calendars in Sync.
Hardware
iMac, PC, MacBook, iPhone, iPad
Software
Lion, Hosted Exchange, IOS, iCloud
I want to use Mac and my office requires a PC, whats the best way to stay in sync. Ive been partially successful at trying to sync my Hosted Exchange account with Mail, Contacts and iCal but it seems inconsistant.
Can someone help me with the proper setting to get this to work?
OR
Do I need to load Outlook on my Mac and IOS devises?
OR
Is there another option?
I have searched the forums and havent found a good solution detailed. Hope to correct that here.
Thank you for your replies.

I do this currently. If you look at my profile, you'll see my equipment. I also have a PC at work I use part time (for accounting only) set up as well.
On the iPad and iPhone, set up your iCloud by going to Settings -> iCloud and entering your username and password. Choose to sync all.
Set up your Hosted Exchange by going to Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Add Account... Choose Exchange as the option and enter the info.
For iCloud on the Mac, click the Apple icon -> System Preferences -> iCloud. Then sign in.
For Exchange on the Mac, click the Apple icon -> System Preferences -> Mail, Contacts, & Calendars -> Microsoft Exchange and enter the info.
For iCloud on the PC, you must be running Outlook 2007 or 2010 and have downloaded the iCloud Control Panel. Sign in and choose to sync with Outlook.
For Exchange on the PC, use Outlook. Add the account...

I updated my Iphone 3gs to last version of iOS and now I can't change my configurations of Mail, Contacts, Calendars.

Generally that is a sign that the iPhone had previously been jailbroken
or hacked to work with other than the original wireless provider. The update
has relocked the iPhone to the original wireless provider. You must
contact them to see if they provide unlocking and if you qualify.
If you can get that far, what does it say when you look at
Settings=>General=>About=>Carrier?

Your Settings app is crashing. Sometimes, the only way to fix this is by restoring the iOS software but hopefully it will not come to that.
1. Quit the app completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
2. Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
3. You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again.

Mail, Contacts, Calendar and App Store Not Opening in Yosemite

After 24 hours of buggy overall operation several of the apps stopped working. Specifically Mail, Contacts, Calendar and App Store do not launch. I had same problem with Omnifocus but was able to restore it after a fresh download.
I have tried the standard methods -- (multiple) restarts, Repair permission, fsck -fy, etc. but now need to appeal to "higher power" for help.
I am assuming that without App Store, there is no way to re-download and install Yosemite. So my first question would be -- how to I get Yosemite without App Store? I need to sort this out for future updates as well, including the inevitable 10.10.01
Until that is fixed, I'd also like to know if there is a work around for getting Mail, Contacts and Calendars are restored.
Help!
I am on mid 2010 Macbook Pro 15" 2.66 with 8 GB of memory, 256 GB SSD (OS) and 500 GB Hard Drive. (Data)

Update - Checked Messages, it too does not load.
Strangely -- Safari and Preview are both working fine.

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?
