I Cannot configure mailaccount. iPad crashes as soon as i tap email,contacts and calendar in "instellingen"

While sync with Link should work it is buggy and is an afterthought to the whole BB10 system. I recommend using an Outlook.com account, installing the Hotmail connector in Outlook, and then syncing the Outlook.com contacts and calendar to the BB10 device. I say Outlook.com because it uses Exchange Active Sync which is the most reliable sync to the device.
I used to sync with Link as well but the Outlook.com wireless sync really is far better.
As for the original question I don't know why it's not recognized. i see this reported on the forums all the time.

"contacts and calendars cannot be synced" I just want my music, I already have contacts and calendars.

I got an iPhone 5c a little under a month ago, and haven't been able to put music on it since then. iTunes keeps trying to sync contacts and calendars, which I already have in place on the phone (via iCloud). However, when my I plugged my moms brand new 5c up to put music on it, it worked perfectly! I've compared our settings, and everything is the same. Please tell me what to do! I have the latest updates on both devices, and iTunes.

With my fingers crossed I uninstalled the updated iTunes that led to the problem. Then went to the iTunes.com site to download the full version. After the install was finished I connected the iPod and it detected and synced the iPod without any further issues. I don't get the error, Contacts and calendars cannot be synced on the iPod "%1$S", any more.

My wife and I share an Ipad.   We each have our own email address and calendar.   What is the best way for us to backup both accounts (we currently only have 1 ICloud account)?   Thanks for any help!    Alan

My wife and I each have our own email address and calendar. These are on one IPad.   The Ipad has a single ICloud account.
What's the best way to backup both Calendars, etc?   Does ICloud automatically back up every account on the same IPad? (I checked ICloud, but I could only find my stuff.)
Thanks for any help!

First, you need to understand that there's a difference between "syncing" and "backup". Backup is the saving of content and settings, where syncing is the bidirectional transfer of content for an account to a web-based server (like iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, etc.)
If you see your calendar in your iCloud account, that implies that you have set up your iCloud account to host (sync) your calendar, and perhaps contacts, email, and notes. An iCloud account can only sync one user's information at a time so it is intended to support a single user. You can have more than one iCloud account, and you can even have more than one iCloud account on the same device (but one has to be primary, and the secondary iCloud has limited capabilities), but a single iCloud account only supports a single user's content.
Backup is the saving of your device's content and settings to use in case you need to recover these things, but you can't see the contents of your backup (just the size and device name). You can backup more than one device to iCloud and you can backup to iCloud or you can backup to your computer, or both (one at a time though, you have to choose).
So, if your wife has her own email and calendar she can certainly do that in parallel to whatever account(s) you have for email and calendar. But if you have only one iCloud account then only one of you can use it for email, calendar, etc. But the backup of these accounts is really just a backup of the device's settings that link the device to these accounts. For example, if she uses Gmail then the backup of the iPad only backs up the fact that your iPad is set up to use her account, it does not backup the account itself (the content of her account is saved and preserved on Google's servers, not your device's backup).
Does that make better sense?

How do i get my new ipad to pick up my iphone phone/email contacts? it has synced with my husbands Iphone email instead. Thanks

During the set up process of the ipad it has picked up all his email contacts and not mine although Ive successfully set up my email its just got his contacts for some reason. How do I get rid of his and sync mine from my email accounts instead?

Here's some more info about the router settings:
iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
You should be able to get into the setup of your router by typing the IP address into your browser.
Depending on your router security setup, you might need the MAC address of your iPad, to allow access to your network, if the so called MAC filtering is active.
You can also check the name of your home network if your click on the AirPort icon on your desktop of your MacBook.
And here's a Wi-Fi assistant to get you going: http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/assistant/wifi/

HT1692 Have recently installed itunes and outlook on a new computer. Have multiple email accounts set up in Outlook tho only use contacts and calendar in relation to one of these. Cannot sync itunes with the correct contacts and calendars, Help!

My new computer is 64-bit running Windows 7 pro, SP1 and Microsoft Office 2010 Pro Plus 32-bit
My phone is a 4S runing iOS 6.1.3
Very frustrated now that I have recently installed itunes and outlook on this new computer. Everything worked perfectly ok on my laptop which was also 64-bit Windows 7 and running 32-bit Microsoft Office 2010 Pro. I have multiple email accounts set up in Outlook tho only use contacts and calendar in relation to one of these. Cannot sync itunes with the correct contacts and calendars, when I sync the calendar and contacts are empty. Not sure if there is any way to point itunes to particular address books and calendars.
I have installed and uninstalled itunes 3 times and thank goodness have a backup
Can anyone help please?
thanks in anticipation

I had my home computer set up to sync to work's Exchange server. It worked well, but I didn't like seeing work email messages and other programs trying to sync with my default Outlook folder, which was then the Exchange (& work related) .ost file. I know there are various ways to manage those problems using filters, view, subfolders, etc., but it was a hassle for me. I think it could work well for many other folks.
For now, I have published my work calendar and subscribed to that calendar on my home computer. So I have view only access to my calendar on my home computer (and I can add/edit calendar items on my iPad (or Outlook Web Access) when away from work). This is not quite what I wanted, but it may work.
It almost makes me long for the days when I used my Windows Mobile Treo to sync back and forth between exchange at work and outlook at home (but had many sync conflicts as a result).

I have updated to lion. Set up an iCloud so contacts and calendar are shared between iMac iPhone 4s and iPad 1. But iTunes is telling me to update the software on the iPad and iPhone, but it just gets stuck contacting the software server. What should I do

I have updated my iMac to lion so I can use iCloud to share contacts and calendar between iPhone 4s and iPads 1. Somehow it seems to have worked although still not sure how to move stuff in and out of iCloud. iTunes is telling me to update the software on the phone and iPad. When I try to do this it just gets stuck with a box saying connecting to software update server. This has never happened before. I cannot update or restore either the phone or the iPad in iTunes although I have synced the info. What should I do?

Something went wrong with the update, this can and does happen with every version of iOS.
There is nothing wrong with the update.
Simply restore the device via iTunes on the computer.
If iTunes is stating it will take hours to update, that indicates an extremely slow Internet connection and is likely the reason the OTA update failed.

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!

Recover lost contacts and calendar from iPad

Hi All.
My dad has an iPad 1 which he uses for work, in particular the contacts and calendar. Earlier this week he said he switched it on and it was as if the iPad had lost all its settings. There was no WiFi to home router and all his contacts and calendar were missing. He re-setup the WiFi but cannot get his missing contacts and calendar back. He had made some major changes and additions since his last sync with the pc and Outlook so a re-sync will not be good enough. Looking around online, others have had the same problem and some people say that the data is still there. There is also mention of a programme called Dr Fone which apparantly scan the iPad and can recover this data. Has anyone tried this or can anyone suggest another way of getting this data back? Its really important.
Thanks
Dean

Why is my iPad not syncing contacts and calendars?

I am baffled. When I look at the settings on my iPad it says that it is set to sync these things with my computer. When I plug it into iTunes, I get the message from iTunes that my settings for contacts and calendars are being automatically synced with iCloud, and that syncing through the computer may generate double entries. However, it is NOT syncing automatically. My iPhone was syncing, but does not have the latest entries on my computer calendar. Can someone tell me how to get both devices to sync automatically? Also, how soon should the syncing take place when a new entry is made? Thanks, Barbara

My contacts and calendar events disappeared from my iPad! How can I retrieve them??

My contacts and calendar events disappeared from my iPad. Can they be retrieved?

BlackBerry Desktop Software utilizes Apple's SyncServices technology in order to synchronize Contact, Calendar, Notes, and Tasks information to and from the Mac computer.
BlackBerry Desktop Software synchronizes information with the SyncServices database, which is synchronized with the desktop applications on the Mac computer (for example: Apple Address Book, iCal, Apple Mail, Microsoft Outlook for Mac). BlackBerry Desktop Software does not synchronize directly to or from the desktop applications on the Mac computer.
Mac OS X Mavericks v10.9 and later does not use SyncServices, therefore, it is not possible to synchronize Contact or Calendar information using the BlackBerry Desktop Software on these versions of OS X.
For more information on SyncServices and OS X Mavericks, see the following Apple Support article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5847
Note: BlackBerry Desktop software 2.4 is still supported for use with Mac OS X v10.6, 10.7, and 10.8.

Syncing iCloud with contacts and calendar in MS Outlook 2007, will get message that "the set of folders cannot be opened. The information store could not be opened."

I install the iCloud Control Panel and information is uploaded from my Outlook Contact folder to iCloud. ICloud folders are created and syncing process between my iPhone, iCloud, and Outlook works for a while (day or 2). Then, when I open Outlook after a day of 2, I get the above message that "The set of folders cannot be opened. The information store could not be opened." The only resolve that I have found is to uninstall the iCloud Control Panel, the reboot my Windows computer, then reinstall the iCloud Control Panel and resync contacts and calendar to icloud. This is getting to be very cumbersome to use this feature. What is the cause of the problem that it keeps on disconnecting to iCloud?

I have also fixed it by uninstalling and then reinstalling iCloud, but as you have experienced, the problem recurs without reason. Apple would/could not help as they say that the problem is with Microsoft's Outlook and that I should talk to them. Microsoft's techies won't help without me paying some £200 as I have a Professional - a student's - version of Office 2007. This is scandalous. It is obvious, from the many who have reported the same problem n this forum, that Microsoft should look into this urgently and create a fix

Ever since upgrading to iTunes 11.0, I can no longer sync Contacts and Calendar from my iMac (10.7.5) To my iPad2 (6.0.1) via Wi-Fi. I believe All my settings are correct. Device is recognized and sync From iPad is possible.

Ever since upgrading to iTunes 11.0, I can no longer sync Contacts and Calendar from my iMac (10.7.5) To my iPad2 (6.0.1) via Wi-Fi. I believe All my settings are correct. Device is recognized and sync From iPad is possible. Tablet is past warranty, so TechSup won't help. Any suggestions?

Thank you Meta, but I could not get the calendar and contact sync with Gmail to work. Apple support already suggested to use Google or a Windows PC. Maybe I should actually reset and try my old Windows PC. Seriously, ... can this be the solution after a Mac OS update for pure Apple users?

Lost my contacts and calendar since update and statesThe iPhone cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the iTunes library (additional 1 MB required).e

I lost my contacts and calendar, and photos since the iOS update and and it states that my iPhone cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the iTunes library (additional 1 MB required). Also it shows that I am over capacity on my Capacity ruler but how do I unload some of that stuff so that I can increase my capacity and perhaps get this synching to work again.
So frustrating!!

On your iPhone go to settings>general>about and next to "Available" if you dont have much space then you will need to delete stuff on the phone to make room to take photos by deleting stuff on the phone.
In terms of syncing change what you are syncing and decide what you would really want and not want on your phone which would make what is syncing to the phone smaller.

My hard drive crashed, and I got a new one. How do I get my contacts and calendar from my Iphone back into outlook?, my hard drive crashed, and I got a new one. How do I get my contacts and calendar from my Iphone back into outlook?

My hard drive crashed. I have all my contacts and calendar in my IPhone. I now have a new hard drive and am trying to get my contacts and calendar into the reinstalled outlook on my desktop but can't sync. Suggestions? Thanks

Well, let's hope that nothing was jiggled out of place when you were installing the new hard drive. Your optical drive may just be out of alignment or the disc you have is "dirty." Get a lint-free cloth and some rubbing alcohol, then clean the disc as thoroughly as you can starting from the center and working outward in a concentric circlular motion. See if that helps. In particular clean the inner portion well.
If this does not help, then you have a problem. You have opened the computer yourself. That action voids all support from Apple. If you take the computer in for service the store may refuse to service the computer. This is not related to your now expired warranty.
