I cannot access my email options when in Settings/Mail, Contacts, Calendars

When I go into Settings/Mail, Contacts, Calendars, all my mail accounts are greyed out and I cannot access them. Anyone else have this problem or know how to resolve it? Been going on for a month or so now.
Thanks

Well, you or someone had to enable restrictions. If you can't remember your restrictions passcode, you will have to restore your phone as a new device in iTunes to remove it. All data on your phone will be lost. Since the restrictions passcode is included in the iPhone backup, restoring from backup will merely restore the restrictions passcode.

  • I want to delete my gmail on my iPad, yet my iPad won't allow me to access the option. I went on my iPad settings Mail, Contacts, Calendars, although i cannot tap on iCloud, Gmail, or Add Account... How do i fix this?

    I want to delete/sign out my gmail on my Ipad, but my ipad won't allow me to delete it.
    Example:
    I tapped on Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars, although I cannot tap on iCloud, Gmail, and Add Account...
    how do I fix this?

    Sorry, you said Gmail. If that's the case, you can try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
    Try again to see if the problem persists.

    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.

  • 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.

  • Cannot access yahoo email account when I have been able for 6 years.

    I am unable to log into my yahoo email account on my Mac OS X. This is very sudden. I have been able to for 6 years. I CAN access on a PC. I have never had this problem. I have never set up the mail program on Mac OS X.

    No, it will not affect anything but Safari. I do this regularly anyway (in my case with Firefox because I prefer it over Safari). The cache remembers websites you've visited and, when internet connections were slow, then that was handy because the browser would reload the page from memory instead of reloading it fresh. With faster internet connections today, it is no longer of the same importance - it does speed up things a bit initially, but I haven't noticed any difference. Cookies are set by every site you visit - the only ones you might want to keep are cookies from your bank, financial institution, etc so they remember your machine when you log in. Other than that, they are a marketing tool and completely superfluous. And history is again something the computer remembers that you've visited a site before.

  • I recently changed my aol password and now I cannot get mail.  When I go to settings, Mail, Contacts, Calendars the accounts portion is grayed out and will not let me open.  How do I fix this problem?

    I recently changed my aol password and right after I changed, I cannot get mail.  I get a a pop up block that says, Cannot Get Mail, the user name or password for AOL is incorrect, settings, OK.  I go to settings as suggested but the account area is grayed out and will not let me open.  Need help on how to fix this problem.  I tried sync with my PC and that did not help either.

    It sounds like you might need to contact Yahoo! if you aren't able to setup your email account as a new account after deleting it. 
    I found some links on the Yahoo! website that might help:

  • New iPad2; can't send email. Exact msg is "CANNOT SEND EMAIL. Check the settings for the outgoing servers in Settings Mail,contacts,calendars

    Email was set up manually (gmail). Pls help

    And you can receive email? You set up your Gmail account using the "Gmail" option and not the "Microsoft Exchange" option, right?
    Are you sure that the Internet connection you're using allows IMAP support?
    Also, I think you need to enable IMAP in your Gmail settings as well.

  • 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!

  • My email account has disappeared overnight.  Now a screen appears with several email options and I cannot access my email.  What happened?

    Why would the way I get my email change overnight?   I used to be able to access it immediately upon touching the mail icon.  Now a screen appears with several email account options.

    Does the account still show on the right-hand ide of Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars - and if it does if you tap on it and select it is Mail still 'on' for it ? If it's 'off' then changing it to 'on' should get the account to show in the Mail app again.

  • Nnew to iPad, I think I have set up my email but when I open mail it simply asks for new account or to edit my account. How do I get to the in box?

    I am new to iPad and have set up my mail account but it will not let me open the in box. Any suggestions

    How did you set it up - manually in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars , or by syncing via your computer's iTunes ? And what happens when you then try to open the Mail app ?
    There is some help on setting up email accounts in the iPad manual which can be downloaded from here http://support.apple.com/manuals/ipad

  • 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.

  • Cannot add a new email account, and hence icloud account. When i go into Settings - Mail, accounts, calendars,  the option to add a new account cannot be clicked (ghosted). I also have iCloud Settings ghosted (unclickable). Cannot change in itunes also.

    Cannot add a new email account, and hence i have no way of creating an iCloud account (very frustrating). I had the same problem with iOS 4.3 but i had no email account to create as i set both up when i bought the iPhone 4. After adding a company email and a gmail account (both wok perfectly) i noticed that the option to create more email accounts had been ghosted (unclickable). This didn't worry me at the time. However, iCloud needs me to create one in here so i can access the cloud which i desperately want the ability to do. When i go into Settings -> Mail, accounts, calendars,  the option to add a new account cannot be clicked (ghosted). I also have iCloud in the iPhone Settings ghosted (unclickable). I have same problem in itunes on Mac OSX. Surely restoring isn't the solution as i restored my iphone when changing from iOS 4.3 -> 5. Please help?

    Go to
    Settings,
    General,
    Restrictions, type in your Restriction Password,
    Accounts, tick Allow Changes.
    Press the back key a few times till you're back in Settings, you should see iCloud is now highlight able, now go to Mail Contacts and Calenders and add your email account as per norm.
    Hope this helps.

  • Since the update to iOS 7.0.2 I have only access to my email when there is a new massage. As as massages have been read my name turns light gray and I cannot access my email anymore.

    Since the update to iOS 7.0.2 I have only access to my email when there is a new massage. As as massages have been read my name turns light gray and I cannot access my email anymore. I have 2 other email addresses and they work properly.

    I am in the same predicament...any resolve?  Other than possibly taking it into the shop?

  • I cannot access my email. Please help!

    I cannot access my email. The email button takes me to a tree of options.. Icloud, aol, exchange, outlook, etc. when I choose icloud it asks for my username and password then it says I am already established. Well, that's great, now, how can I move forward with checking my email? And how come this happened all of a sudden??

    Reboot your iPad.  Press and hold BOTH the power and home buttons at the SAME time for about 10 seconds until the Apple Logo appears, then let go of both buttons and your iPad will restart.  You won't lose any data or settings.  See if mail operates normally when your iPad comes back up.
    If it doesn't, I've found it best to delete your mail accounts and reenter them.
