Ipad freezes when clicking mail, contact, calendars

ipad freezes when clicking mail, contact, calendars

Still trying to figure out how to navigate these forum pages. For the last two consecutive days I have opened the default e-mail client on this iPad2 to find that the app will download all e-mail from my accounts and then freeze. I have to hit the power switch to shut off and then restart the iPad -the I can open my individual e-mails. Just like hitting control-alt-delete in the windows OS. Has the e-mail app been updated or something. I haven't knowingly changed anything. By the way , registering for forums is a pain in the butt - I ahink i have screwed up myz old user name and will attack that separately.
Augie
iPad2
Also - this happens once and then after that I can run it ok for the rest of my session. Power down and reboot then try e-mail and it freees, power down reset and it is ok. Has only been for the last two days.

HT1694 My hotmail access disappeared from my iPad. When I go to settings and click 'mail, contacts, calendars' the page freezes. It doesn't allow me to the account setting. Anyone have suggestions?

Your Settings app is crashing. Sometimes, the only way to fix this is by restoring the iOS software but hopefully it will not come to that.
1. Quit the app completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
2. Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
3. You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again.

Hi

I have a brand new Ipad 2
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.

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.

These are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to Apple here, so I've asked the hosts to remove your email address, postal addresses and phone numbers from your post.
I'm not entirely sure what you are saying, but if those apps are crashing then have you tried toggling them 'off' and 'on' via Settings > iCloud ? And if that doesn't fix it then try closing them via the iPad's taskbar : from the home screen (i.e. not with any app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of each app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
You could also try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
If it's a different problem ... ?

Gmail Mail/Contacts/Calendar Functioning with iPhone But Not iPad

I recently purchased an iPad Mini and input my "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" settings the same exact way as they are in my iPhone...
o Exchange account
o E-mail address is "[X]@gmail.com"
o Server is "m.google.com"
o Domain is left blank
o Username is "[X]@gmail.com"
o Password is correct
o Use SSL is turned on
o S/MIME is turned off
Nevertheless, when I launch the Mail app in my iPad Mini, I get the message "Cannot Get Mail: The connection to the server failed". Similarly, my contacts and calendar data haven't synced at all. I'm not having this issue on my iPhone so am a bit bewildered as to why I'm encountering it on the iPad.
Anyone know what's going on here? Thanks in advance!
Best,
Alex

Google discontinued Exchange support for free Gmail accounts as of 30 January 2013. Devices that were already set up wiht it will continue to work. However, as you've discovered, attempts to set it up on a new device will not. You will need to set up the account as a regular Gmail account.
To sync your contacts, you need to add a CardDAV account as well:

Hello there Alex,
Here is some good info to try and isolate what is not connecting correctly. From iOS: Unable to send or receive email found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3899.
If you are unable to send or receive email, try the following steps:
Restart the iOS device.
Tap Safari and attempt to load a webpage to ensure that the device has Internet access. If you're unable to load a webpage, try the Wi-Fi assistant.
Try an alternative Internet connection.
If your email is provided by your Internet provider, try connecting from the home network.
If your iOS device has an active cellular data plan, try to disable Wi-Fi: Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn off Wi-Fi.
If not, try a different Wi-Fi network.
Log in to your email provider's website to ensure that the account is active and the password is correct.
Delete the account from Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and then add the email account again on the iOS device.
If you're still unable to send or receive email, contact your email provider and verify the account settings are correct. You will need to gather this information (PDF).
Additional Information
Using more than one device to check the same POP email account may create a lock-out issue that is easily resolved.
Take care,
Sterling

I'm trying to off my email but when i go through mail,contacts,calendar it send me automatically to main screen. Any help pls??

I tried to restart so many times but still not working, now my email is open and everybody can check it. Pls help

I'm not at all sure about this - if it has any bearing is what I mean - do you have restrictions turned on?
Settings>General>Restrictions>On.... if you do have it turned on, that can prevent anyone from making changes to email accounts. But the way you describe what is happening - it sounds like the Mail, Contacts, Calendars Setting is crashing for some reason. "Send me automatically to the main screen" sounds like a crash - that is what apps do when they crash or quit unexpectedly.
I don't use restrictions and I've never seen them "in action" so to speak. I just assumed that if you had restrictions enabled, the setting is greyed out and "unselectable" if you will.
The only other things I can think of that you can try are to reset the iPad and then restore it if that fails.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
If the setting went bad, I know of nothing else to try other than to restore.

Trying to limit number of emails showing but when I go to "mail, contacts, calendars", "show" doesn't appear as an option. What now?

Suddenly I have over 300 emails appearing on my ipad2. I know you are supposed to be able to change that by going to "Mail, Contacts, Calendars", then select "Show". Well, when I do that, "Show" doesn't appear as an option. Any thoughts on how I get "Show" back?

Tap the blue + sign in the upper right corner of the Safari toolbar to open a new tab. Then look in the lower left portion of the screen for the word "Private". Tap that to turn off private browsing.

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.

Sys Pref panel "Mail Contacts Calendar" freezes

Sys Pref panel "Mail Contacts Calendar" completely freezes just by trying to open it. And I've discovered that If I remove my gmail account (from the mail.app) It works again. I've made 2 clean installs of Mountain lion and the problem stays.
If it helps I have set up icloud, twitter, facebook, gmail and my gmail adress is the same that I use for icloud as apple id.
Has anybody any idea.
Thanks.

This was happening to me too. I deleted the MobileMeAccount.plist file in my user's Library/Preferences folder and the Preferences window now loads and responds to input properly.

After upgrading my ipad 2 to iOS5 I can't access mail, contacts, calendars option

Hi All,
Newbie here so please go easy!
My problem is that after upgrading my iPad 2 to iOS5 I can't access the mail, contacts, calendars option from general settings or even from the Mail program. This is therefore preventing me from setting up anymore than one e-mail account.
Do I need to do a system reset / restore? If so how do I do a system reset in particular?
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
Thanks for reply. Sorry for delay in responding, for some reason I wasn't able to respond using my iPad so am using my iPhone.
The restrictions have not been enabled at all, so I assume that this should not really make a difference. I also have an iPhone 4 and have upgraded this to iOS5 but have no issues accessing the Mail, Contacts, Calendar option from general settings. This also does not have restrictions enabled therefore appears to have the same setup as my iPad but with no problems.
Sorry once again for the delay in responding.
Many thanks

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.

IPad freezes when searching (or after using) Contacts app

My iPad freezes when searching contacts and sometimes shortly after I've use the Contacts app. The behavior doesn't appear to be predictable, except that the freezing only happens while using or shortly after using the Contacts app. Are there any fixes for this?

No fixes yet for anything software wise.
Try a restart. Shut off the iPad by holding the home button and the top right button until you see the shutdown screen. Then turn the iPad on and try the contacts again. You can also try to reset the ipad's software to factory settings and restoring it.
Do a fresh backup first.

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?
