Duplicate accounts in Mail, Contact and Calendar

I found that I have duplicate accounts in Mail, Contacts and Calendar. When I try to delete them from within those apps, System Preferences - iCloud is launched. Within iCloud there are no duplicates, so there is nothing to delete. How do I delete the duplicates in the individual apps?

Well, it looks like you’ll have to do some kind of Reset Sync Data in System Preferences > .Mac > Advanced, e.g. from the .Mac server to the PowerBook, maybe after quitting Mail and moving com.apple.mail.plist out of ~/Library/Preferences/...

I had a MobileMe account before... after upgrading to iOS 5, should I keep my account info under iCloud (settings) AND under mail, contacts and calendars (in Settings as well) or only keep the info under the new iCloud setting section?

That's not the correct port. It should be 993 for incoming.
If you signed into iCloud from the System Preferences, it should automatically create the iCloud account for you in Mail. Sounds like it is an account you already had set up for MMe in Mail.
Open Mail preferences, open the Accounts tab, disable that account in the advanced pane.
Open Sys Prefs, open the iCloud tab, and sign out of iCloud. Then sign back in and see if a new iCloud account is automatically created.

HT201320 I have just set up my email accounts, calendars etc on my new iphone5s, but seem to be stuck in 'Mail, contacts and calendar' section. How do I get back to the general settings page?

Solved! Turn it off and on again!

Difference between Accounts in Address Book and iCal vs Mail, Contacts and Calendars Accounts?

Trying to wrap my head around iCloud's capabilites right now.
In System Prefs, there is the Mail, Contacts and Calendars setting. In there, I can set up syncing with contacts and calendars via a Google account there. However, when I open up iCal (aka calendars) and Address Book (aka contacts), they ALSO have their own seemingly independent syncing options.
I'd ideally like to keep a copy of my contacts and calendars synced through Google and iCloud.
What is the optimal way to do this?
Thanks in advance...

A) Contacts)
1. Open www.icloud.com
2. Open Contacts
3. Mark All Contacts > CMD + A
4. Click on the small icon in the lower left corner
5. Choose Export vCard...
6. Open your "Address Book" on your Mac and choose "File > Import"
B) Calendar)
At the moment there is no option to download/export all the data, but you could share the calendar back to your Mac by opening the www.icloud.com website, then...
2. Open Calendar
3. Click the samll "Share" button behind the name of every calendar and share it with your account.
or
Add your wife's account just temporary on your Mac (Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account), then

3. Mark the Calendar by clicking on the name of your wife's calendar
4. Open the menu "File > Export" + safe the file on your desktop
5. Delete your wife's account again in Settings
6. Open the calendar again
7. Open the menu "File > Import" + choose the file from your desktop
8. Choose your preferred calendar

Removing email account, but keeping contacts and calendar

I have a work email account setup on my iPad. I have changed jobs and would like to delete the old work account. Is it possible to remove the old email account, but preserve the contacts and calendar information?
Thanks

Same happening here. Contacts and calendars sync between 2 Macs OK using iCloud. iCloud syncing with iOS devices worked well until Monday afternoon 12/19.
Since then (3 days) mail, contacts and calendars in my iCloud account do not sync to iPhone 4 and iPad. Photo Stream OK.
All software is up to date. Wiped iPhone and started fresh. Still syncing is broken.
OmniFocus, Evernote, Gmail, Dropbox sync OK. Safari works too.
Attempts to delete iCloud from iPhone stall at spinning pinwheel.
Likewise attempts to disable calendar and contacts services stall.
Seems this problem relates to iCloud security on iOS gadgets.
Still out if sync.

Best way to move Mail, Contacts, and Calendars

I'm adding an additional server to my network to distribute some of my services and I would like to move the mail, contacts, and calendar services to this new server. It will be a ML machine running 10.8.5 with Server 2.2.1. I have these services already running on another server also running ML 10.8.5 and server 2.2.1.
What's the best way to move the data between these two machines? Any suggestion are greatly appreciated!

Mail: mailboxes from /Library/Server/Mail/Data/mail can be moved using command line
- Note the correspondence between mailbox folder name(hexadecimal) and user name, can be extracted using Directory tool)
- Also if u want to have the same username - hexa key maybe you should export the OD. Personally I would just rename old folder to new hexa key)
- Do not forget to also check(mimic) the folder group/owner rights
Calendar&Contacts: Use Export and Import.
I honestly think this are the best ways (fast&clean).
Also I think they are safe, mail 100% is transferred and for Calendar&Contacts I am not aware of any data that can be lost during export-import.
(of course you can also replicate your server using DiskUtility create new image, and then deactivate unwanted services)

Mail, Contacts and Calendars in Settings crashes; Contacts app is blank

First issue - since upgrading my iPad2 to iOS5, the Mail, Contacts and Calendars in Settings crashes. All other options in Settings are fine - only issues is with Mail, Contacts and Calenders crashing.
Second issue - I am using iCloud to sync contacts, calendars, reminders, bookmarks. Everything (except Contacts) sync perfectly between my Mac (home), Win7 PC Outlook (work) and iCloud, but I am unable to see the contact data on the iPad. When I open the Contacts app I get the 2 page layout but it is blank with no data, no buttons, no groups and no formatting. After sitting at this blank view for a few seconds it crashes to the Home screen. I know the contact data is in the iPad as contacts can be found through Message, Mail and through the iPad Search. It has not however synced with any changed data.
I have performed a hard reset numerous times, and restored the iPad. I have manually closed the Contacts and Settings apps through the task bar. I have also attempted to manually sync the contact data via USB with my Mac, but Contacts are still out of sync and crashes on launch.
Any advice or solutions appreciated.

Hi UTNick
Seems like there is a few dramas with syncing through iCloud at the moement - hopefully Apple get this sorted with an update ASAP. Im using Outlook 2010 and didnt have any worries at that end, all the unsynced data and crashing was on the iPad. Good lesson in all this, make sure backups are in place - thanksfully I didnt lose any data either.
I managed to fix my sync problems and crashing Settings. Not sure what the specific solution was but it involved -
Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings
Reset iPad to factory and then restore from back-up
Turned off iCloud
Reset my Apple id password
Backed up all my contacts from Mac Contacts and then reimported them
Synced my iPad through iTunes, syncing the contacts (with the option 'Replace everything on the iPad')
Re-enbaled iCloud sync on the iPad
The Mail, Contacts and Calendars panel in Settings no longer crashes, and all my data is again syncing perfectly across the Win7 Outlook 2010, the Mac Contacts app and the iPad Contacts app.
It felt like a bit of a black-magic solution, and I'm still not sure what the underlying cause of my issues was. Fingers crossed it all hangs together until the next iOS update.
Good luck!

Why does the iCloud Control Panel say "Install Outlook to use Mail, Contacts, and Calendars?"

I've just successfully installed the iCloud Control Panel on my PC (runs with Vista). Why does the iCloud Control Panel say "Install Outlook to use Mail, Contacts, and Calendars?" The Bookmarks (with Safari) and Photo Stream options are active, but the Mail (with Outlook), Contacts (with Outlook),and Calendars and Tasks (with Outlook) are not. I'm using Office Outlook 2007. I used to be able to synch my iPhone with my PC's Outlook through iTunes without any problems. Any help would be appreciated.

I meant to say when in the control panel!

Iphone interface with Windows Live (Mail, Contact and Calendar)

I use Windows Live Free Download Client for my mail, calendar and contacts. (Just did not want to pay Microsoft for Outlook).
My iPhone does not interface with any of the above. I am not able to view my calendar or contacts on iphone. For contacts I have to go in a round about way of copying to Windows Contacts and then copying to iPhone.
Any easy solutions available or in sight ?

Hi, you just need to add your Windows Live Calendar as a new account. Go to Settings/Mail, Contacts, Calendars/Add Account/Microsoft Hotmail... and then add your Windows Live account and select the option to sync your calendar. Your Windows Live caldendar will then be viewable on your iPhone calendar (click Calendars in upper left corner to verify). You can now edit your Windows Live calendar on your iPhone and it will update on your Windows Live desktop client, and vice versa. Hope this helps!

Mail, contacts and calendars will not sync cuz some stuff quited...

Hey all! I posted this question in the iTunes section, but did not get any response, so I shall ask it here and see if I get a response. Whenever I sync my iPhone, stuff like MDCrashReporterTool and AppleMobileSync will "quit unexpectedly". Thus, my calendars, mail and contacts will not sync. I've tried stuff from downloading the Mac OS X 10.5.6 combo updater and installed it to reinstalling iTunes 8.0.2, but to no avail. Does anybody here have an answer or require more information? TIA!

On your iPhone, go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Select your MobileMe account.
Turn Calendars off for over the air syncing.
A warning message will be provided indicating this will delete all calendars and calendar events from your iPhone. You should also be provided a prompt to save the data locally on your iPhone. If so, save this data locally.
Follow this by turning Calendars back on for over the air syncing. You should be provided a merge prompt which you want to select.
Test if this resolves it.

Hello, lamonb.
This sounds like restrictions are enabled on your device. With this being enabled, you would not be able to make any changes to the settings that are set to be restricted. This article will explain restrictions and shows you how to disable this feature.
