IPhone Mail, Contacts, Calendars iCloud and Macbook iTunes settings what a mess!

So I have been having some trouble with my iCloud settings and my iPhone lately and tried some changes and have discovered many more issues that make no sense to me.  I have an iPhone and a Macbook Pro.  Before I set the settings for each device separately so if I made changes to my email passwords I would have to manually update this info on both devices.  Later I noticed on iTunes there was an option to sync the settings, so I selected this option and completed the sync.  I have found that this does not work at all.  When I make a change to either device it does not update on the other.  For some reason the iPhone keeps losing passwords for random accounts for no reason, the info is on the desktop and works fine on mac mail and even when entered on the phone it will ask for it again a week later. 
So I decided to wipe all mail accounts from the iPhone and start fresh and transfer the settings from the Macbook to the phone.  Well this created a new problem.  I have two Apple ID's. When I go to turn on all of the on/off settings for this account through mail,contacts and calendars settings, the switch will work but they will not show the blue on icon...no problem at least the information is on the phone.  On my second Apple ID I experience the same problem but now the option to sync reminders has disappeared.  I performed another sync and still the iPhone is missing passwords for random email accounts, ones that worked before do not work now and ones that did not work work, constantly changing.
In an attempt to see if some other settings needed to be changed I opened the iCloud settings on the iPhone and found that nothing existed, which is strange because under Mail, Contacts and Calendars that account is listed.  Now when I input my primary iCloud info into the iCloud settings on the iPhone it asks me to deactivate the settings from the came iCloud account listed under Mail Contacts and Calendars????  They are the same account and should be sharing the same settings!  So now when I go into Mail Contacts and Calendars this Apple id is listed twice and naturally neither of the settings transfer to the Macbook!
All I wanted to do was to make changes to a password for an email account on one device and have that information updated on the other...sync as they say.  Now I have found out that the iCloud accounts listed under Mail Contacts and Calendars are not associated with one another...it's all a mess to me!
I am reverting back to manually entering account information for emails and iCloud accounts on both devices because the sync option seems to be faulty to me!
Oh yes I am using a Macbook Pro with Mountain Lion 10.8.2 and an iPhone 4S 64GB with iOS 6.0.1

  • System Settings - Mail Contacts Calendars - iCloud

    After switching to Mountain Lion, I have created a new Apple ID with @icloud.com domain. I try to set it in System Settings -> Mail Contacts Calendars -> iCloud and it works for Contacts , Calendars, Safari, Documents but not for Email. When clicking on the Email Icon the progress indicator is rotating and after few seconds an AlertView shows with message "Imposible to Activate Mail".
    Anyone has the same problem ?

  • Sync iPhone 5 contacts to iCloud and/or MacBook Pro

    I've been trying to sync my iPhone 5 contacts with iCloud, but nothing works.  I have manually backed up my phone both to iCloud and to my MacBook Pro (OS X 10.9.2) but my contacts still haven't appeared in the cloud.  Help is appreciated!

    It's probably because your contacts do not belong to the iCloud account.
    Open the contacts app on your phone and tap Groups.  Do you have any non-iCloud accounts listed, such as On My iPhone, Gmail, Yahoo or an exchange account?
    Also go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section).  Do you have the Default Account setting there, and if so, what is selected as your default account?

  • Problems: iCloud Control Panel 2.1.1 not allowing sync of contacts, calendar, remainders and notes

    I just installed Outlook 2013 today. Initally it was showing contacts calendars from my iCloud. Then i got a message that I could not have two outlooks on the computer and I needed to remove one of them. I did take off outlook 2007. Now the control panel does not give me an option to sync with outlook at all. It just tells me that mail contacts calendars reminders and notes are avilable at icloud.com.
    I hope to be able to get control panel and outlook to talk nicely again soon.
    any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I have a similar issue. I installed Office 2013 yesterday. iCloud 2.1.1.3 I thought was working - I could see the Add-On in Outlook and my contacts were showing correctly under people but it showed in the iCloud control panel that my email for icloud was not connected. I tried removing my iCloud account from Outlook with the intent to reconnect it via the iCloud Control Panel. Bad idea apparently--anytime I try loading the iCloud Control Panel it crashes office. I have reintalled the control panel, tried the office repair, tried enabling / disabling the add-ons, tired a seperate test Outlook profile--nothing works- I am no longer able to integrate the icloud features into Outlook.
    I am using Win 7 x64 SP1 with Office 2013 x32. iCloud Control Panel 2.1.1.3
    Update: I tried rolling back to a restore point from yesterday to at least get my contacts functioning again. No Luck- the accounts are there again but they are not connected and can't be opened. iCloud Control Panel still crashes Office/Outlook as seen above anytime I try to open it

  • Missing Mail, Contacts, Calendars

    I went to add another email account and was unable to because Mail, Contacts, Calendars is missing in the Settings area. I am new to the iPhone family, so I'm not sure about what to do. Yes, it's jailbroken, I added my gmail account with no problem after jailbreaking it, the settings were there. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated. BTW, I have owned the phone for about 48 hours.
    Thanks!

    Yes, it's jailbroken, I added my gmail account with no problem after jailbreaking it, the settings were there.
    Bingo.
    Try restoring your iPhone with iTunes - probably best as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup to get rid of whatever the jailbreaking has done.
    If the same occurs after jailbreaking your iPhone again, you should probably reconsider.

  • After upgrading to iOS 5, I lost my contacts, calendar entries, and Notes on my iPhone 3GS (3 years old). How do I retrieve them? My last backup/sync to iTunes acct was Sept 18 but yesterday's backup bombed due to lack of space on my C: drive.

    Yikes! After upgrading my iPhone 3GS to iOS 5, I lost my Contacts, calendar entries, and Notes (100+) on my iPhone (3 years old). How do I retrieve them? My last backup/sync to iTunes acct was Sept 18 but yesterday's backup bombed due to lack of space on my C: drive.

    This happened to me too but it was really all there.  Go to your calendar, click on calendar in the upper left hand corner, click on show all calendars, click done in the right upper corner.  Everything should show up!!!
    I was super thrilled.  Hope this works for you!!

  • I updated my Iphone 3gs to last version of iOS and now I can't change my configurations of Mail, Contacts, Calendars.

    I updated my Iphone 3gs to last version of iOS and now I can't change my configurations of Mail, Contacts, Calendars.

    Generally that is a sign that the iPhone had previously been jailbroken
    or hacked to work with other than the original wireless provider. The update
    has relocked the iPhone to the original wireless provider. You must
    contact them to see if they provide unlocking and if you qualify.
    If you can get that far, what does it say when you look at
    Settings=>General=>About=>Carrier?

  • I am not able to upload all the contacts into icloud and get into my new iphone 6

    Hi I am trying to sync all the contacts in my old iphone 4 to iclud.
    and so not able to sync only my contacts i think i got all my photos synced.
    can any help me in that.

    Hi Kinnera2740,
    On the old phone go into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.  Are there any email accounts listed here?  Such as Google, Yahoo, Hotmail, etc?
    If so, tap on each of them and check the 'Contacts' option.  If it is turned on, this means that contact syncing is enabled for that account and that your contacts may already be synced to that mail account.
    Also check Settings > iCloud and look for the 'Contacts' option.  Is it enabled?  If so, then it is possible that some contacts could be synced to your iCloud account as well.  You can check to see which contacts are in which account by going to the Contacts app on your old phone and pressing the 'Groups' button in the top left corner.  You may see several groups here.  Uncheck all groups and then check each group one at a time to check and see how many contacts are synced to each account.  You may need to add the same mail accounts to your new phone and enable contact syncing to have the contacts from the mail servers sync down to the new phone. 

  • Settings Mail, Contacts, Calendars screen closes immediately? I have tried Restore and all software up to date... help!, Settings Mail, Contacts, Calendars screen closes immediately? I have tried Restore and all software up to date... help!

    When I go to Settings > 'Mail, Contacts, Calendars'  the screen closes immediately returning to the home screen? I have tried resetting the iphone - no change, I then restored the iphone completely - no change (all software up to date.) please help!

    I have the same problem with iPhone4, iOS5. The only workaround i have found was to disable the contacts and calender for the iCloud account. So much for being able to sync all my Mac products. At least with Mobileme everything but my windows products synced and worked OK.

  • Mail, Contacts, Calendar not available on iCloud Control Panel on my Win 7 PC for Outlook sync

    I have loaded iCloud Control Panel 4.0 on my PC (Win 7 64)
    The iCloud Drive, photos & Bookmarks is available to be switched on/off but Mail, Contacts, Calendar etc not available. Instead just a message on top that says you can access Mail, Contacts, Calendar, and Reminders at iCloud.com.
    How do I setup iCloud so that the Calendar & Contacts on my OUTLOOK 2010 are synced with my iPhone &iPad?

    Hey RuiEVG,
    Thanks for the question. The following resource outlines troubleshooting information for using iCloud contacts on a Windows PC. It may be that your version of Outlook is not supported:

    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3998
    Check the system requirements
    Make sure that your PC meets the iCloud system requirements.
    iCloud Control Panel doesn't support Outlook 2010 Personal Edition.
    Thanks,
