IPhone 5 no longer syncing mail accounts - why?

I sync my iPhone 5 at least once a day.  However, in the last couple days I receive the dialogue box that advises the mail accounts cannot be synced due to the iPhone using them.   And instructs me to turn the accounts off, in the iPhone.
This is a first.  And I don't know why.
And, with reluctance, turned the mail accounts off - though not Gmail as there was a warning that I would lose calendar data.
Is this issue another outcome of the "upgrade"?
How can I make syncing revert to normal service?
Thank you

Because they are discontinuing this phone...you can get the iPhone 4S, 5C, or 5S now. (Depending on your country).

    error message after trying to sync iphone:  iTunes could not sync mail accounts to the iphone "iphone because an error occurred remapping record identifiers.  What does this mean?   how do I fix it?

    You can either setup your mail account settings manually or sync your settings to your phone. If your mail accounts are already setup on your phone, there is no need to have this box checked in itunes.

  • How sync mail accounts between Mac and iPhone!!

    Hi,
    May a trivial and stupid question but never found an answer!
    How easily sync mail account information (preferences of each mail account) between mac's (Mac Mini and Mac Book Pro) and iPhone?
    Sorry to say that but it's so easy in Windows!! Just check the option box in itunes!!
    For now, I use iCloud, define to sync mail and connected with same account on all my mac and iPhone ... nothing happened!
    Oh yes, sorry, I have three accounts out of 13 who appear!!! But WHY?
    I red somewhere that the account information (password) must be saved in keychain ... ok ... but how do I change that for all account?
    I tried to remove one and recreate ... no success ... doesn't appear.
    Why is it so complicated to have that working as the Mac is so user-friendly?
    I also try a search on Apple site ... no explanation!
    Some one with a clear and simple "How To" to share?
    MANY THANKS!

  • How do I sync mail accounts from my laptop to iPhone?

    Hi,
    I just got an iPhone 4S, iOS 7. I have Macbook Pro, with OS X 10.9 (Mavericks), iTunes 11.1.1.  I have email accounts already set up on my laptop, and I'd like to copy that information to the iPhone, and keep them in sync.  I searched for info on how to do this, but much on the pages I found refer to a previous version of iTunes, which had some "sync mail accounts" section, which is no longer there.  How do I do it now?  Do I have to manually set them up again on the iPhone?  I read somewhere that you "use iCloud" but there were no details.
    thanks,
    Rob

    I should have written my question better.  I didn't mean: connect to one account from multiple devices. That I understand -- IMAP, etc.  I want to sync the configuration of those accounts.  So, I set up 4 email accounts on my laptop, and then push the setup/config info to the iPhone so I don't have to type in the addresses and passwords again.  I have a lot of accounts and some of them change passwords frequenty.  It would be nice to not have to type on that iPhone screen.

  • Sync mail account Iphone with imac

    Since I have latest Itunes I cannot sync anymore my mail accounts from my
    Imac to my Iphone. Before you could select a checkbox sync mail account
    and now i disappeared. Bug in Itunes?
    Best regarsds,

    It seems apple has removed the info tab in itunes in the iphone page attempting to force mavericks users to rely on icloud. It was a great feature of syncing the mail accounts between the iphone and the mac. I dont know why apple is going around pulling out many such great features that used to make its software more friendly than that of its competitors. If this continues, apple might fall from high up the tree.

    I've rec'd a few errors related to syncing Mail, but none have had this specific wording. If you haven't already, try quitting Mail before syncing. Also, make sure that you're not in your Settings areas on the iPhone before syncing. Hope this helps!

  • Itunes could not sync mail account ... because the iphone canceled the sync

    Hello
    I get the error "Itunes could not sync mail account to the Iphone "........" because the iphone canceled the sync
    Calendar, Bookmarks, Music and Video are Syncing ok
    Strange !!
    Any Idea ?
    Best
    Cyril

    i had a similar mail sync issue with a pop3 business account. i think the issue was i deleted the account from my iphone instead of removing it thru itunes. this was causing the canceled mail sync error with any changes to my syncable mail accounts to my iphone. so, i went it and re-added that pop3 account and it solved the problem. it now syncs everytime and allows me to make changes to which accounts i want on my iphone....which wasn't happening before.

    Can anyone help me to solve this issue ? relly its a major problm

    iTunes is running into a conflict between mail account information already on your iPhone and the accounts you are trying to sync.
    Connect your iPhone to your computer. In the Advanced section under the Info tab, check the box next to "Mail Accounts". This will replace the mail account info on your iPhone with the accounts you are trying to sync.
    If this does not work, then reset your sync history by opening the iSync application, going into the preferences, and clicking Reset Sync History.

  • Syncing mail account settings on iPhone 4?

    I'm getting my iPhone 4 replaced today and was going thru a sync. Everything is working fine as I use iCloud however...when I went to plug in my iPhone and over to "Info" and down to "Sync Mail Accounts" it won't let me check mark the box for syncing mail account settings.
    I want to sync the mail accounts (not messages or anything) just the mail account settings so that I won't have to manually put them in on the new phone.
    Ideas?

    User error:  I had enabled the selection to dis-allow changes under the password lock  and restrictions options then disabled the passcode lock with still stopped me from making any changes to my email account settings.

  • Can't get past Syncing mail accounts

    Hello,
    As it says in the subject line, my iPhone won't get past Syncing mail accounts. If I deselect the mail account in iTunes then it syncs. I have looked this up and it seems that most people are pointing to a dialogue box that is hidden behind iTunes that needs clicking on but there isn't one with me.
    I think that the reason behind the weirdness is that I have just swapped over the hard drive in my computer. I made a clone of my old one using Disk Utility then swapped it over. It synced once without a problem but since then it gets stuck on syncing the mail accounts. This is not the first time I have swapped a hard drive but it's the first time something is misbehaving because of it.
    Also, my iTunes library is located on an external hard drive (this is the reason for swapping the internal drive - to get more space) and so was not located on my internal anyway. Having said that, the iPhone apps are located on the internal (there doesn't seem to be a way to change that option) and there was some weirdness with an app that wouldn't sync but I have since deleted.
    Sorry for the rambling - any help or advice would be much appreciated.
    All the best.

    I think I get it.
    Since my mail accounts were set up fine, there's no need to continue syncing them with iTunes, unless I change mail settings.
    I haven't changed, so I should be fine unchecking "Sync selected Mail accounts".
    If I do change my mail settings in the future, I can do this independently on the iPhone.
    I'm still not sure why this turns into an endless sync - but I can live without re-syncing and "do it myself".
    Did I get that right?
    Thanks, Damon!
