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.

  • When I select Mail, Contacts, Calendars in settings the ipad will lock up and not display setting options.

    When I noticed my mail not being delivered to my IPad I wanted to check the settings and make sure there wasn't an issue.  When I click on the settings option nothing will display on the right side and the Settings screen will lock up.  I can restore the IPad to original settings and this will fix the issue, but I need to restore all my apps to this IPad.  Any suggestions of how I can delete the mail settings and set them back up?

    Try a simple Reset - hold down the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons together for 15 seconds - and try again!

  • IPad 2 contacts will not open after IOS5, also Settings/Mail, Contacts, Calendar crashes out to home page?

    Hi,
    Upgraded new Ipad2 to IOS5.0.1.Unable to open Contacts.... closes instantly. Also unable to access Mail,Contacts, Calendars in Settings.
    Turned on iCloud and attempted to turn on Contacts (solution suggested elsewhere). Its asks if 'Merge Contacts'. Selecting 'Merge' crashes settings back to homepage.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    I have the same problem. This was a very expensive Christmas present to myself. I spent Christmas morning setting it up & updating the software only to find that clicking the “mail, contacts etc.” in settings sends me straight back to the home screen. Does anyone at Apple read these forums? Although I have been using computers for years, on a recommendation from an Apple user this was my first Apple purchase, at this rate it will be my last.What happens if "Restore" in iTunes is used?

  • Can someone please help. I noticed that all my calendar events have completely disappeared :( I made sure that under settings "mail/contacts/calendars", that under sync it is "all events". Not working.

    Can someone please help. All calendar events have completely disappeared from my iphone. I tried troubleshooting. Made sure that in settings, the "mail/contacts/calendars", that under "sync" it was checked off "all events". But it was like that already. Nothing seems to be working. Are my events lost now? I'm stressing. Lol. Thank you.

    Check settings > iCloud > calendars.  Is it on or off?

  • My IPhone 4s will not let me edit my email accounts or add a new account; I can't click on them under settings - Mail,Contacts, Calendar

    Why does my IPhone 4S not let me edit my email accounts or add a new account? In Settings> Mail.Contacts, Calendars I can't select these items.

    Settings/General/Restrictions - enter the Restrictions passcode - Allow Changes to Accounts.

  • Settings - Mail, Contacts, Calendars

    When I go into Settings and select Mail, Contacts, Calendars the screen slides over but then it closes. I can not get to this feature. All the other under settings slide over to reveal its contents except for Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Can someone help me understand whats going on?

    You may need to do a "reset". You can do this by holding down the "Sleep and Home" buttons at the same time (and continue to hold them until you see the white Apple logo) then release the buttons. You will not lose anything on your phone. Let me know if this helps.

  • Mail contacts calendars missing in settings after 3.0

    After I upgraded to the 3.0 firmware, the mail contacts calendars section under settings is missing completely. Anyone experienced this or know of a fix short of wiping the phone?

    I can confirm that what /Esnes/ suggested fixed the problem of having no Mail, Contacts, Calendars option in Settings.
    I wonder what other options are m.i.a. due to apps being 'hidden' or 'tucked away' in a 'folder'? Has me curious.
    Thanks, /Esnes/! No idea why contacts are sorted by Last, First by default... maddening!

  • Changing my info name in settings mail contacts calendars contacts

    How canI do this

    Have you currently got Settings > General > Restrictions > Accounts (under the 'Allow Changes' heading) set to 'Don't Allow Changes' ? If you have then try changing it to 'Allow Chagnes' and you should then be able to add/change the email accounts

  • How do I change/add a new Default account to Settings/Mail,Contacts,Calendars/Contacts ?

    I've set up my home PC and using MS-Outlook to harmonize email from several accounts.  I want any Contacts added through the iPhone-4 to synchronize with a specific email account (e.g. it is Yahoo now and I want to change it to another.) However, in Settings-Mail,Contacts,Calendars-Contacts there is no button or other Edit feature that allows or enables change of Default Account.  Any experience or ideas for me?

    Wish i could call that a good try,... No my other email accounts don't appear in that Default Accounts list. So, I'm forced to delete those email accounts and reconnect them, EXCEPT when i do that any contacts in the iPhone will also be deleted and only available in a backup, which will probably cancel the new account set up,.. Want to try again?

  • I accidentally deleted my account under the Mail, Contacts, Calendars setting. How can i get the account back?

    In settings > Mail, contacts, calendars> account. i was trying to delete the email part, but i didnt know it also deleted the notes part. i really need the notes. how can i get it back? the email wasn't an iCloud account.

    If you don't have an Installer disk then you can't install without a purchase. Do you have the grey SystemRestore disks that came with your Mac? It's on that. No, iPhoto is not part of Lion.

  • Mail contacts calendars option freezes in settings list

    For no reason whatsoever, my Exchange Server mail stopped syncing with my iPad2 yesterday.  When I go to Settings, "Mail Contacts Calendars", the line highlights but then just freezes right there and I can never get into those settings (eventually the iPad just takes me back the home screen).  I did a soft reset, then a hard reset with restore (same problem), and now I am doing a hard reset with no restore (basically wiping the unit clean, which is such a pain in the a$$ to get all of my apps back into the appropriate folders that I've created).  Any reason why this happened?  Any way to fix it in the future?  I have an iPhone 3GS and the mail was still working fine with it.  No changes were made on the server or on the iPad2 (I own the company and know that no one did any changes yesterday).  It happened just out of the blue.  Thoughts?  Thanks.

    I have been experiencing some major sync/push problems with mail, contacts and calendar between my Mac, iphone and ipad for over a month now. The problems are still being investigated by Apples technicians.
    However, a couple of days ago I set up a new iCloud account, whilst my original one is currently being investigated and is practically useless.
    The new iCloud account works fine. All devices sync properly and I can create, edit and delete entries from all devices.
    This is clearly an iCloud issue. I was initially suspected of causing the problem. I am now in the clear. If your email is of no consequence I suggest setting up a new iCloud account. Mine is important so I am waiting for Apple to reset my original iCloud account so that I can use it again.
    Since setting up the new account my ipad works fine and no longer freezes in settings.
    Result. Hope it works for you.

    In the SETTINGS page, when i press MAIL,CONTACT , CALENDARS the page back to the initial page and do not open the page requested..
    Any ideas?
    Tks for the help

    A reboot should be enough to make it work.
    Just restart your computer.
    Otherwise, make sure you're an administrator - as if you're not, it could be that the administrator put a restiction.
