Icloud wont sync mail?

Hi
I recently brought i new macbook pro, to go along side with my older Macbook pro (2009). However when i log into icloud through system settings on my new mac, it wont let me check the mail box
This is the error message
Mail cant be enabled at this time
Wait a moment and then try turning on Mail again.
Is this becasue i am running mountian lion on the new macbook pro and just lion on the old macbook pro, or is it more complicated
Thanks

Hi
Thanks for your answer. Im not totally sure how Icloud works though, with personal emailaddress and the @me address, but when I add Icloud to my mac, do I have to use the @me address, or do I use my regular apple ID which is my @gmail address?
When you say `assoiciated with`, do you mean the @gmail address which is my apple ID?

  • Why does iCloud not sync mail rules?

    This seems like a no brainer. When I view my email on my Iphone, I see all my Spam, which would already be dispatched to the Junk box on my desktop, had I looked there first. Why does iCloud not sync my Mail rules, and is there a solution for this?

    It is not Mac to Mac.
    Why not look up iCloud support, it was never offered as anything outside iOS 5 supported devices.
    Maybe if you would stop reading into things what isn't there.

  • Icloud wont activate mail

    Hi
    Ive recently changed my apple ID from a hotmail address to a gmail address. Ive changed everything that has to do with apple id, on both iphone and mac but when I set up Icloud mail account again on my mac, it tells me `cant activate, please try again later`. Everything else, notes, ical, pictures etc activates and syncs, but the mail wont.
    Does anyone have any clue to what I can do to make my mail activate and sync with icloud?

  • ICloud not sync mail

    I am having issues with icloud. I sync my email account from work, with Icloud but it does not synch all emails. I can send emails but it some times it does receive it but not synch with other devices such as Ipad or macbook pro. once I received an email from exchange server, in icloud I responded back but my response did not show in either the Ipad or Macbook pro.

    Hi,
    I suspect this is an IMAP4 Expunge/Compact bug which drives me crazy with my own mailbox (but only when I use the iPhone). Try this, and see if it helps:
    On each iOS device in sequence, but not simultaneoulsy (you might want to send your self a couple of messages to play with):
    1) Tag a mail for deletion or mark it as read.
    2) Kill the mail app used. This should cause the app to Expunge correctly.
    3) Check the status of the messages on the other device. If necessary, trigger a refresh by restarting the app completely.
    When you've done this, highlight the differences based on device.
    I say this drives me crazy, but the fact is I live with it. The craziness really impacts me based on time delay between accessing the box with different devices. It only happens with iOS, with other OS products, I always Thunderbird, and that does not have this issue.
    If you get so much mail that such an impact has a very real disturbance to your quality of life, perhaps you could try going out more, and talking to poeple?

  • Icloud not syncing mail

    Hi, can anyone help me ?  When I delete or file mail from my inbox on any device, it does not sync to other devices.  It was working until recently.  Any ideas ?
    Thanks
    Darren

    AFTER I asked the question, then the answer presented itself in a list of previously asked questions!  (And I had looked before too.)  It involves "Signing Out" of iCloud with the iMac, and with the iPhone.  Then I signed in again. It was scary (took a long time) getting the mail loaded again, but it seems to be working now. 

  • HT204053 iCloud wont sync devices

    How can iCloud sync my devices (for photos, etc) if both my iPad and iPhone were required to have different Apple ID's on initial setup?  My iCloud account names cannot be changed on my devices.  I'm confused on how to get my content synced via the cloud.

    Navigate to Settings > General > Restrictions (enter your passcode if required-this may not be the same as your screen lock code), scroll down to the section 'Allow Changes' and ensure you are allowed to make changes to 'Accounts'.

  • Icloud wont sync contacts from iphone

    Hi there,
    I recently updated to yosemite on my iMac and am having issues with my contacts....most of my contacts are showing up on my mac but the one I recently added to my iphone (within the past month) will not sync for some reason.
    Ii am also having a problem syncing my icloud on my Notability app - it will not connect to icloud and keeps telling me to check my mac settings.
    Any ideas?
    Thank you in advance!

    This user tip might help you understand how accounts work with Address Book.
    First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.

  • ICloud wont sync to my new iPhone 6

    Please can someone help me i have backed up all my phone on iCloud on my 4s,
    I have just got my new iPhone 6 and i am trying to back up restore back up on my new phone and it keeps saying
    Your iPhone cannot be restore because there is problem with your back up data!
    Please help me i don't know how to do it through iTunes i never plug my phone into my laptop.
    Please please help

    (Oops! I somehow managed to submit my post before I'd finished writing it.)
    Try deleting the presumably corrupted backup from the iCloud → Storage → Manage storage section in Settings, and then create a new backup in its place. If that doesn't resolve the problem, then you'll have to contact Apple Support.

  • I've just bought an iPhone 5S in the UK, seems like a big mistake. I have turned off sync to icloud from the phone for both my contacts and calendar, as told on itunes. However, iTunes still says they are synced from iCloud and wont sync to PC, Fix ?

    I've just bought an iPhone 5S in the UK, seems like a big mistake, but luckily by law we can return goods, which is exactly what is going to happen if I cant get this to work. This is my business phone, not having it functional can cost me money.
    I have turned off sync to icloud from the phone for both my contacts and calendar, as told on itunes. However, iTunes still says they are synced from iCloud and wont sync to my PC, why and how do I fix it so that it doesnt go to iCloud for anything ?
    The phone currently has no contacts or calendar information installed.
    PC is HP Probook 4730s running Windows 7, Professional, version 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 Build 7601.

    I'm happy you figured it out and just try to keep in mind that not everyone you talk to at support will give the same advice or have the same knowledge. Just like those who contribute to these forums. Sometimes Google is your best friend.
    I agree that Apple could probably make it easier, but as of yet prefer security over freedom. (sound famaliar?)

  • My pages documents on my ipad wont sync to icloud. Some documents have had the upload icon on them for over a month. It was all working fine but now I cant figure out what is going on.

    MY pages documents on my ipad wont sync to icloud. Some of the documents have had the upload icon on them for over a month. It was all working fine a month or so ago but I cant figure out why it wont work now.

    Why start a new and very similar thread to your other one which you have not responded to (have you read the replies?)
    I suggest that no response is made to this duplicate thread. 

  • How do I change my apple id on iPhone4 in iCloud?  In mail, contacts the apple id is correct and matches my new apple id.  I had to change my apple id when I upgraded to Mountain Lion in order to have calendar, contacts and other sync with iCloud.

    How do I change my apple id on iPhone4 in settings/iCloud and settings/mail,contacts,calendar?  iCloud does not sync with my iPhone4.   iCloud syncs fine with my iPad and my iPad has the new apple id in settings/iCloud.  I had to change my original apple id when I upgraded to Mountain Lion in order to have iCloud sync.  iCloud does not sync with my iPhone4.  My iPhone4 settings/iCloud shows my original apple id and will not allow me to change it.

    To change your iCloud ID you have to delete the account, then sign in with the alternate ID.  Before doing this, if you want to keep your data and move it to the new account, go to Settings>iCloud and turn each of your synced data to Off, and when prompted choose to keep the data on your iPhone.  When everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account, the sign back in with your other account ID and turn syncing back on; when prompted, choose merge.
    If all your data is already in your other account then you don't need to do this.  Just delete the account from your phone, selected not to keep the data, then sign into the new account, turn on data syncing and if prompted, choose merge.

  • Mail on iOS 5 and iCloud sync (Mails are not marked as read when I read them on my MacBook)

    Hello everyone,
    I am an iOS 5 and OS X Lion User in Germany and I have following question concering Mail on iOS 5 and iCloud.
    I have a MacBook Pro 13" with OS X Lion 10.7.2 and an iPhone 4 with iOS 5. I also have an iCloud account (I switched yesterday from MobileMe).
    When I receive a new e-Mail it will be pushed immediately to my iPhone an my MacBook. When I open this new e-mail on my iPhone, it is immediately marked as read on my MacBook. But when I open the new e-mail on my MacBook, it is not marked as read on my iPhone. I have manually to sync mail first.
    Does anyone know if this feature is not supported on iCloud and iOS 5? Thanks for your help!

    Add me to the list of people having this problem.
    I have 1 Gmail account a 2 Google Apps accounts and this happens with all 3. If I read a messaging in Mail.app, it DOES get marked read on my iPod Touch, though.
    If I read the emails on my iPod Touch, BlackBerry, or Gmail web interface, the read status does not get synced back to Mail.app unless I close and re-open it.
    Not sure if this is an Apple issue or a Gmail issue, but it's VERY annoying and somewhat defeats the purpose of using IMAP.

    I’m having a trouble getting icloud mail without my personal email. All icloud features syncs normally unless mail didn’t sync I am running mac ox 10.7.2 any ideas?

    I discovered that my cord was bad. I used someone else's cord and then it worked - that's how I was able to determine it was the cord, so I replaced it. (In case someone else has a similar problem.)
    BTW, I'm still having a problem syncing my iCal, so I posted that problem in the iCal forum. If you think you can help, please look for my message there.
