Email and Contacts missing in iTunes 11 for OSX Mavericks

I just upgraded my mac to OSX Mavericks. Prior to upgrading I had Mountain Lion. In iTunes, I used to be able to choose which email account I wanted to sync with my iPhone / iPad etc. After upgrading, this option is missing.
According to Apple : http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12117
Apparently I am expected to update this info on my devices using iCloud. Does anyone have any instructions on how to do this? Is there some other way I can update my devices ? Most of my email accounts are for work, and I think it may be a violation of my company's security policy, if I am supposed to upload my passwords etc to iCloud.

I found this other link: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5847?viewlocale=en_US
So if I use a non-icloud email address (eg: work email address, gmail, yahoo etc), that means I need to enter the passwords and settings on each iDevice I own?? Why would they do this? It makes no sense, and is so tedious.

    I have a family Apple ID associated with my iMac and iPad for iTunes and Apps and then two new iPhone 5s each which use a personal Apple ID for email and the family Apple ID for iTunes and Apps. Can I use iTunes Match on the iPhones given there are two Apple IDs "loaded" on the iPhone?

  • Missing past emails and contacts

    with the new security process, when i logged into my email account, it looks like a brand new account.  Everything is missing such as emails received/sent and contacts.  i need to get access to these emails.  thank you.

    Anything in Outlook is stored on the individual computer. It will not be stored on the website anywhere. You would need to Export all your emails and contacts from your old computers outlook program. Then take the file it creates and Import them to your new computers Outlook.

    Do changes/additions to the contacts list in Outlook appear on the iPhone?

  • The default account option in iOS for contacts is missing; while I have multiple account options for mail and contacts are turned on for iCloud and other accounts.

    The default account option in iOS for contacts is missing; while I have multiple account options for mail and contacts are turned on for iCloud and other accounts.  I previously was able to select between my Microsoft Exchange Contacts (work account) and iCloud (personal), but both those options are now gone.  I tried turning contacts for both off and on and rebooting, but it didn't help.  Any ideas?

    Just a guess but if the exchange account is from your employer, your employer may have installed a security profile to your device preventing you from adding or editing contacts in the exchange account by removing the Default Account setting.  You would need to check with your employer's IT department to confirm this.  You could also test this by adding a Gmail account and turning on contacts syncing with Gmail to see if the setting reappears.

  • My iPad opens my husband's email and contact. How do I change identities to me

    My iPad opens my husband's email and contact but not mine. How do I change the identity of my iPad

    I'm assuming you and your wife have different accounts and that hers has somehow been used in the setup of your devices/computers.  (If you are both sharing one account, then you should consider using separate ones for icloud, otherwise everything you do will be shared with your wife.  You can use the same account for itunes to share your purchases, unless you have already made purchases under separate itunes accounts, in which case you'll need to continue doing that.)
    On a device, go to settings>icloud and scroll down to the bottom of the page and tap delete account.  This will remove all icloud data from your device.  Then at the top of the page, log into **your** account and all your data from your account will download.
    Also, settings>itunes and apps stores, log out if it's the wrong account and log in using your account ID.

  • Need Icloud HELP!!! 2 email and contact account pulling from one ID

    My wife and I have the same apple ID and when I set up Icloud it insist on us recieving the same email and contacts even though hers is entered under her email???

    You can use the same iTunes.  The only minor issue is app updating.  Each purchased item is permanently associated with whatever ID was used to obtain it.  IF you choose to update an app from inside iTunes and your logged in to the "wrong" ID, it's necessary to log out/in to update the app.
    It's easier if you do your updating directly to the iPad and let it sync the updated items back to the iTunes library.  There is no need to log out/in but you do need to know the password.  In my case, both passwords are deliberately identical to make things easier for us.
    On the other hand, the sync operation does not care what ID was used to obtain the app.  All apps (and music and movies and TV shows) are synced without regard to the ID that was used for the purchase.
    Be careful with TV shows.  Apple offers a lower-cost upgrade to get all shows from a given year.  However, the dollar cost of the upgrade is based on the shows purchased with whatever ID you're currently logged in with.  Simple solution - get all shows from a specific series with the same ID.

  • Can't open email and contacts after changing email address in iCloud

    I changed my email address in iTunes and iCloud and now I cannot open email and contacts.  The beachball appears and after about 2-3 minutes I get a message that the program cannot open.  I'm ready to throw my iMac out the window.  It is only a couple months old.

    Back up all data.
    Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    Note: You need an always-on Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection to the Internet to use Recovery. It won’t work with USB or PPPoE modems, or with proxy servers, or with networks that require a certificate for authentication.
    When the OS X Utilities screen appears, follow the prompts to reinstall the OS. You don't need to erase the boot volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade, so make a note of those before you begin.

  • Lost my work email and contacts on my 4S

    I got a new Iphone at work and own the 3G for personal use. My work phone was all set up with email and contacts and I decided to bring in my personal contacts, music, etc to my new 4 S Iphone. All my work contacts and email are now gone.
    How do I get that information back?
    Also my phone has all of my kids friends phone #s in it because Itunes put them there. Is there a way to look at your contacts on I tunes and delete people you don't want on your phone. I need to delete 200 of my kids and wife contacts as they have come onto my phone.
    Thanks for your help!

    All iDevices can be synced with one, and only one, computer. If your 4S was set up at work, that's the only omputer you can connect it to. When you connected it to your home computer iTunes warned you about the on sequences of doing that. You went ahead, so it synced the 4S to your iTunes, erasing everything else.
    Sync it to the computer it was originally synced with.

    Hi, i didn't put a rescue email and i need the answers for the security questions cuz i forgot them

    If you can't remember your security questions / answers go to  Express Lane.
    select iTunes from the list, then iTunes store.        On the next screen select account Management.  There, select iTunes store account security and write that you would like to reset your security questions and / or answers.   You should get an eMail reply over the next 24 hours.

    How to Remove “Other” Data from iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch
    http://www.igeeksblog.com/how-to-remove-other-data-from-iphone/
    With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6/7, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

  • Calendar Sync not working - email and contact sync working

    Hi,
    my company's exchange activesync is working for email and contact but not for calendar. there is no single meeting in my iphone calendar. when invitation arrives, I get alarm and I can even see invitation on phone and can accept it. it then goes into calendar but gets removed soon after (after it gets sync with exchange I guess).
    I know that multiple issues like this have been discussed in this forum but could not find similar. My IT guy telling me that it is iPhone issue as it is only one global object and my email and contacts are working.
    BTW, other iphone users have same issues.
    Any comments? is this because of 2.2.1?
    thanks,
    Sam

    were you able to solve this? i too can sync mail and contacts but not calendar...
    so far i have recreated my SSL
    rerun the internet connection wizard
    tried it from my ipod touch running 2.2.1
    tried it from my dev iphone 3g running 3.0b5
    tested and CAN access everything via outlook and OMA
    can add an appointment via iphone, it appears in Outlook, but cannot add from outlook and sync
    have deleted every single appointment/event/anniversary then added one to check for corrupt.
    everything worked fine until a few days ago when the dev iphone had 3.0 installed on it... at first, the calendar was all i could get to sync, we had some interesting firewall setup that was causing confusion for a few things, in an effort to make life easier on the dev phone, the firewall was simplified (removed double NAT). but, in the process of removing and adding and removing and adding my Exchange info, i gained the ability to sync my contacts and mail, but lost my calendar.
    i do not think 3.0 is the exact issue, but i do think it may have caused some kind of problem with exchange or activesync which others have apparently been able to cause with 2.2.1.
    any verbose suggestions are appreciated... i've spent the last two days pulling out whats left of my hair and trying to find someone with a Windows Mobile or other Activesync device that's not iPhone/iPod to test looking for clues. thanks.

  • What version of iTunes for OSX.3.9?

    Hello all,
    It's been a while since I posted here, but so nice to see familiar names like Strider, Ron, Duane, MrTotes etc (incidentally Strider, your web pages on how the get the best out of OS9 were excellent for me back in 2001/2).
    My problem now is, I'm running OSX.3.9 and I've had an iTunes gift card for the last two years which is about to expire. I was hoping I'd have upgraded my computer by now but money is (always) an issue.
    I'm using iTunes 4 with a 2nd gen iPod (first one with the scrolly wheel I think). I wanted to use the card and download a bunch of songs, but I think I need a newer version that can support the purchasing of tracks. This one seems to have had the functionality fall by the wayside.
    If it's not possible to buy songs anymore in OSX.3.9 can I use my gift card with a friend's Windows machine, download the songs & transfer them via memory stick to my old Mac?
    1) The gift card has not been registered yet.
    2) I would probably need to make sure the tracks are DRM free before purchasing.
    On a side note, I picked up two minty fresh G3 iMacs last year for £20. One was a Sage G3 450, the other a Snow G3 600. I was so happy

    What version of iTunes for OSX.3.9?
    Click here for it.
    can I use my gift card with a friend's Windows machine, download the songs & transfer them via memory stick to my old Mac?
    Yes. Right-click the songs in iTunes and move them over as you would any file.

    I need help! I am not very tech savvy and I'm getting a message that registry settings for itunes cd burner etc are missing. I run windows 7 64 bit. Help please!!

    I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)
