Contact and Mail settings issue ?

Cannot open Contacts anymore after iOS5 upgrade. When I try to set Mail and Contact it crashes to the main screen. I did a complete restore but the problem is still there. icloud is not activated.
Also, when I try to sync the contacts with my computer, I get a message sayng that Contact is being used and cannot be accessed. Any idea on how to resolve this?

I actually discovered that the fix for the iPhone calendar not syncing correctly was either a recent MS update (We are using Exchange 2003) and or adjustment to Sites and Services in AD. So my fix above was not the fix after all. Some iPhone users during the last two weeks all of a sudden noticed their calendars were syncing and events were filled in.
From our Windows IT Admin when I asked them what they did:
“We ran Microsoft updates weekend before last, and we adjusted the Sites and Services part of AD so that our Domain Controllers are associated with their correct location (this change rendered RPC over HTTPS inoperable (it worked about 50% of the time prior to this change, based on which DC you authenticated against)).”

Outlook gets crazy. Duplicated mails and deleted contacts and mails.

Hi,
I work in an enviroment migrated from Notes 8.5 to Exchage 2010 SP3 RU2.
The Outlook client from a limited set of networks are losing their contacts and mails from their mailboxes 2 weeks ago or in the other hand the mails get duplicated several times.
The issue ocurrs with any versión of Outlook through Outlook Anywhere.
There are 2 weird events in event viewer that I have noted is event 2915 AD Access outlined in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2668900/en-us and some events 4999 Dr. Watson
like:
Informe Watson a punto de enviarse para el identificador de proceso: 3584, con los parámetros: E12, c-RTL-AMD64, 14.03.0158.001, M.E.RpcClientAccess.Service, M.E.Data.Storage, M.E.D.S.SearchFolderCriteria.CheckFolderScope, System.ArgumentException, a41b,
14.03.0158.001.
ErrorReportingEnabled: False
We have move those failed clients to another database to confirm is not a corrpuption issue.
We have activated diagnostic logging to try analize it without any succesful result.
Our antivirus provider has analyzed the servers and desktops without any possitve conclusión too.
The duplicates mails are not duplicates in the SMTP delivery.
We have enabled the mailbox audit for admin,delegates and owner with the only evidence that truly the mails are deleted by the owner.
The solution provided by kb2212449 has become unsuccesful because everything is fine. All the affected mailbox are configured properly with the parameters of AutomateProcessing to Autoupdate and AddNewRequestsTentatively to $True.
The mailboxes have been scanned with New-MailboxRepairRequest succesfully.
The server have the latest Updates from Microsoft.
Don´t hesitate to post any idea.
Best Regards
Guillermo

Hi,
How about keeping using OWA and see whether the issue still persists.
If the issue still occurs in OWA, I suggest we enable the Mailbox auditing logging to find who deletes the items.
Thanks,

How do we transfer contacts and mails from apple mail and address book to Microsoft outlook on my mac

How do we transfer contacts and mails from apple mail and address book to Microsoft outlook on my mac

From Contacts, anyway (the new version of Address Book) you can export to a .abbu file and import then into Outlook. I'm not sure about Mail as I only really use Outlook...

ICloud: I can't set a check mark at calendar, contacts and mail. Why?

iCloud: I can't set a check mark at calendar, contacts and mail. Why?

I'm afraid so. The iCloud control panel is only compatible with Outlook 2007 or later.
iCloud system requirements:

However, you should still be able to add your iCloud mail account manually in Outlook using the server information.

Outlook and icloud contacts and mail sync OK but calendar will not. Why?

I have Outlook 2010 on a Win 7 PC. iCloud syncs Mail and Contacts with my iP4 and Outlook without any problems but Outlook Calendar will not. iCloud set up procedure worked fine with Contacts and Mail. But when setup is run for Calendar, a message pop up says that iCloud Mail must be "enabled" in Outlook before Calendar can be synced.
iCloud Mail has been setup on iP4 and in Outlook. I can send and receive test messages to "me.com" from the iP but can't send test messages from the "me.com" account setup in Outlook. When I try to send a test message from Outlook mail account setup a dialog box asks for my "me.com" password which I enter but then asks me again and again until I finally give up. So, I think I've set it up but clearly, it's not been "enabled" to allow syncing with Calendar even though Contacts and Mail seems to work. BTW, Outlook navigation pane (left side) shows an iCloud folder in both Contacts and Mail but NOT in Calendar. Which shows, I think, that Calendar has indeed not been enabled.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Mail App and Mail, Contacts and Calendar Settings Crashing

After upgrading to 2.1 on 3G...
I posted a response to a post for Mail settings problem here http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1708101&tstart=0 but noticed that after restarting my phone now the Mail application crashes and in some cases the Contacts app if open more than 10 seconds.
I've noticed a few posts and possible fixes on the forums like updating the Region but none of those solutions worked for me. I'm hoping an Apple "Genius" would read this and offer a fix!

I'm having a similar issue;
I go into Settings -> Email, contacts, etc.
Then i scroll to almost the very bottom. I see the first two items of "Calendar settings", but if I scroll further settings crash and I'm shoved back to the homescreen. EXTREMELY frustrating since I'm in sweden and the time zone is london I think - all my meetings are pushed 1 hour ahead.
I have an iPhone 3G with the latest 2.1 firmware.

Cant get my Outlook contacts and mail set up without crashing...error message is "Apple Outlook DAV config has stopped working"

When I check the box to add Mail, Contacts, etc to iCloud, it goes through the setup about half way and crashes on the contacts. Error message is:
"Apple Outlook DAV Config has stopped working" Any suggestions? I can't get this stuff set up! Thank you

Hello Washit,
Sorry to hear that you are getting the error message "Apple Outlook DAV Config has stopped working."
I recommend following the steps in the section titled "Troubleshooting iCloud Contacts update or setup issues with Microsoft Windows (Microsoft Outlook)" in the following article:

Contacts and Mail: iMac upgrade perfect! MacBook Pro? kind of disastrous

Hello everybody. Seeking a bit of guidance. First, what I did:
iMac: I downloaded and installed the Mountain Lion upgrade. It worked flawlessly. I haven't discovered any issues at all. I was thrilled.
MacBook Pro: I downloaded and installed the Mountain Lion upgrade. I'm having very big problems with Mail and Contacts, and moderately big problems in some other areas.
Contacts - Despite logging in to iCloud in System Preferences and confirming all options to be enabled, Contacts will not load. It takes a long time to open, with a spnning ball for about a minute and a half or so, and then nothing happens. I deselected Contacts in System Preferences and then reenabled it. This didn't help. I then signed out of iCloud altogether (opting to delete anything that might be kept locally on the machine) and then logged back in. This didn't help. I then went into Contact preferences, and disabled and then reenabled my iCloud account. This didn't help. I rebooted twice. This didn't help. I repaired permissions. This didn't help. I shut it down for 8 hours because I was about to destroy it with a hammer at that point. This didn't help.
Mail issue #1 - Mail takes forever (okay, about 2 minutes to be more accurate) to load. My inbox loads correctly (verified with my iOS devices and my iMac) as well as other mailboxes. However, I can't switch between mailboxes without the spinning ball taking over. The application becomes unresponsive and has has to be forced to quit. For example, when I switch between inbox and sent mail, the application becomes useless and just hangs.
Mail issue #2 - Mail is no longer completing addresses when I attempt to create a new email. I am accustomed to Mail giving me a dropdown list to choose from after I type a few characters. During my efforts to troubleshoot Mail last night, I would type a few letters and in the middle of typing the address, Mail would freeze up and not allow me to continue typing. The "processing" spinning grey icon on the right side of the address entry box would spin and spin and spin like it was trying to find my address options, but eventually would just give up after about two minutes, at which point it would "release" and allow me to cotinue manually typing the address. I'm not sure exactly how that works, i.e. does that information come from history in Mail or from the Contacts app, but for whatever reason, it's not working.
System Preferences - Takes a long time to open, and then an equally long time to close. More spinning blue wheel time.
I hope I explained everything clearly. I wanted to make sure that if I'm asking for help from the community that I gave as much detail about the problems and what actions I have taken.
Thanks in advance to anybody who can offer any guidance.
Richard

You are definitely not alone. Have exactly the same issues on my MacBook Pro (early 2011 model) with 8GB RAM and 200 GB plus space on my HD remaining. Thought it was because a lot of apps were open but have the same problem when only running Mail plus, of course, some stuff that runs in the background all the time. But nowhere near the limit.
After upgrading yesterday Mail did a correct update of the database and was working OK the problem started this morning. One thing I noticed was that with Mail running (not properly but running) I used the send web page feature in Safari and noticed that in the dock the Mail app was loaded again and I seemed to have it running twice.
A new message window opened with the content filled but trying to enter an email address produced the spinning beach ball for like a minute and with every keystroke. Finally force quit and now it seems to hang each time.
Restarted the Mac a number of times without result.

UPgraded to Lion and can now longer access all my Entourage Contacts and Mail. What do I do. Desperate

All my mail , contacts can no longer be opened as Entourage is a PPC app.
What do I do to recover contacts and migrate to Apple mail.
Would really appreciate help. Very important to me

Download the 30 day trial of Office 2011 from Microsoft. You'll be able to open all your stuff from the antiquated version of Office and then move the info to Apple Mail.

Default email contacts and calendar settings lost

I have an Ipone 5. My default email account was playing up, now that mail is working I've lost my old emails, folders, contacts and calender. helllp please... I've tried deleting the email account and re-adding the account. but still the same thing happens only has new mail. This happened once before just can't remember what I did to resolve it.

Have you tried basic troubleshooting steps from the manual?
Page 34:
"If something is not working right, restarting or resetting iPhone will likely solve the
problem.
Restart iPhone: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears.
Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and
hold the Sleep/Wake until the Apple logo appears.
Reset iPhone: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the
same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
For more troubleshooting suggestions, see Appendix A, “Troubleshooting,” on
page 132. "

Will upgrading to iOS 4.1 delete my contacts and calender settings?

I tried to upgrade my iPod Touch 2g to 4.1 but iTunes gave me a warning message saying that upgrading will "restore" my app settings. Does this mean things like my calender appointments, contacts and bookmarks will permanently disappear from my device?
This might be an extremely stupid question but this is the first time im upgrading and id be very grateful for help

You will always get this warning, but restore anyway. You will be offered the option to restore from backup on down the line. There are always risks in a process such as this. If we didn't backup, we'd never update, restore, reset, etc.

Transferring contacts and Mail folders

I just bought a new iMac to replace my 8 year old MacPro and was advised here to install all apps with a clean install rather than migrate 8 years of content over to the new machine. I am about to do this but have another question: How do I transfer over my Contacts, Mail folders and Safari bookmarks? Thank you very much! Don

Peruse Pondini's Setup New Mac guide and seriously consider, as rkaufmann87 notes, migrating using the Setup Assistant on first boot. That ensures that your new machine mimics your old and retains eight years worth of settings.
