Mail, calendar etc. cannot be activated after logging in to iCloud

I'm running Yosemite (OS X 10.10 (14A388b)).
When checking my iCloud settings, I realized that Mail, calendar, contacts, reminders, notes could not be activated. I logged out from iCloud and logged in again. Same result. When trying to activate Mail etc. I'm getting messages like "Mail could not be activated. Try again."
Any ideas?

I have the same problem after upgrading to Yosemite. Actually I have 2 MacBook Pro`s both running Yosemite. 13`` Retina MBP has no problem signing in iCloud with all options (Notes,Contacts,Calendar etc) but the 15`` Retina MBP keep saying"setting up" and after a minute it stops, like yours. My iPad iOS 8,and iPhone iOS 8 and the 13``MBP communicate each other like a charm but not the other. Did you solve your problem.

  • HT4918 Okay, I can move mail, calendars, etc. but what about files (e.g. documents)?  How do I access them?

    Okay, I can see mail, calendars, etc from Mobile Me on iCloud but how to I acces (see) files (e.g., documents)?

    iCloud does not provide general file storage in the manner iof iDisk. If you have such files on your iDisk they are still there, and accessible in the same way as before, until Saturday when they will be deleted. If you have files on your iDisk which are not also on your Mac you need to be downloading them now.
    iCloud provides only syncing of iWork documents between your Mac and an iOS device - the latter, with iWork apps installed, is required.
    If you want general online file storage you will have to find a third-party alternative. This page examines some options:

  • Mail 3.0 cannot send email after clean install

    mail does not manage to send mail after leopard was installed via a clean install. It seems to work for upgraded machines, but unfortunately for me, I prefer the clean install.
    The problem is, that the SMTP-server simply rejects sending attempts from mail. mail then simply says "cannot send message using the server ...". I got suspicious when I entered a wrong password as then mail says that authentication failed (so the communication has to work somehow).
    So I worked on getting the server logs and they say the following:
    +Helo command rejected: need fully-qualified hostname; from=<[email protected]> to=<[email protected]> proto=ESMTP helo=<Core>+
    Seems like my computer send only the computers name as hostname and not the .local part any more. Systems which have been upgraded instead of a clean install do it "right" meaning they send hostname.local instead of just hostname which gets accepted by the smtp-server.
    So the question is, where is the problem here? I do not really know what would be the right behavior regrading the computers name and hostname but I realize that 10.5 differs here from 10.4 leading to the problem above. My workaround in the moment is using Thunderbird which is quite sad after buying and upgrading to the new system...

    I am running into the same issue. My insightbb account wont send messages. My yahoo account on the other hand, works fine. Heck, Mail wont even let me setup the insightbb account. Sometimes i can, but it rejects my username. I have to use thunderbird to send email from my insightbb account

  • Can not add any accounts to Mail, Calendar, etc.

    This is not an additional account issue.
    I can not add even 1 account.
    This is Windows 8 Enterprise.
    I opened Mail App.
    I logged in with MS account.
    I went to settings, Accounts.
    I clicked on "Add an account"
    The I get, "You've added all the accounts available for this app" , but I have not added any accounts at all.
    Any advice?
    I am trying to add ActiveSync to Exchange in the Mail app, since full Outlook 2013 is almost unusable on a 10" tablet.

    Did you use any proxy during the internal network? Please try to use other network to add the account in Windows Mail App.

  • Since I created an iCloud email account, nothing on my ipad2 syncs with iCloud on my PC and all of my prior information has disappeared from my gmail, notes, calendar, etc. Any ideas?

    Why is it that since I created an iCloud email account (my default email client is gmail), nothing on my iPad2 syncs with iCloud on my PC? Also, all prior content in Notes, Contacts, Mail, Calendar, etc. has disappeared.

    Okay, I see from the control panel for iCloud in Explorer that now I have to use Outlook as my mail client for Calendar, Mail and Notes. Why? Gmail is my client and everything used to work fine until I had to get that @icloud.com account.
    Also, I see I have to use Explorer as my browser if I want to sync Bookmarks. What's wrong with Firefox?
    Outlook is the only supported Mail/Contacts and Calendars client on a PC.
    And once more, Gmail has no connection with iCloud, you can continu using Gmail on the web or in Mail
    Why not say what you expect to happen and I'll tell you if it will.

  • TS4268 My iphone 5' FaceTime and iMessage always in activating. It also cannot be activated although I had sign in to my apple ID.

    My iphone 5 is running iOS 6.0.2. My iMessage n FaceTime cannot be activated after I accidentally disable it. After I enabled it , it is in activating and cannot be used although I had sign in to my apple ID. I had try many methods in the Internet but still cannot be activated.

    Common problem ; I am facing it eversince I shifted from 4 to 5. Only email id and apple id is working with imessage and face time and it is not getting activated on my mobile no. May be Apple takes care of it in next software update. Some people have suggested to add my mobile no in my apple id profile, some have suggested to assign the same details in my contact card and assign it as myself, reboot, restart, logout from apple id, change in location to US. Nothing works.......... its frustating.

    I use Touchdown from Nitodesk for my work email. Its a little pricey, but it works with your companys OWA (Outlook Web Access) portal. They do have a 30 day trial that they insist that you try to make sure it will work for you before you shell out any money for the app. It syncs the Calendar, notes, tasks, emails etc.
    It has a discovery feature that it will figure out what it needs to configure. All you need to provide is how you log into OWA (Username/password, website) and the program does the rest. It works very well for me.
    No I am not employed by Nitrodesk. I only use the program. There was no need to ask my IT people to set anything up for me.
    Give it a try, it might work as well for you too.
     One day I will have to give this app a try, I am just use to configuring my device to sync without a 3rd party app but I have heard that Touchdown seems to be the best thing going to setup a corp sync process..

  • I can record voice memos fine using the built-in iPhone 4 mic.  And my Bluetooth headset (Jawbone Era) works fine when I leave messages on voice mail systems etc. when calling on the iPhone 4.  However, I cannot record voice memos with my Bluetooth mic.

    I can record voice memos fine using the built-in iPhone 4 mic.  And my Bluetooth headset (Jawbone Era) works fine when I leave messages on voice mail systems etc. when calling on the iPhone 4, so it appears my headset mic is fine.  I can also use voice activated dialing, although it fails miserably interpreting numbers.  However, I cannot record voice memos with my Bluetooth mic.   I just get barely audible static.  Any suggestions?   Thanks.

    Hello, did you ever get an answer to your question? I just picked up a Jawbone Era and using on an iPhone 4s running 5.0.1. Seems to work fine on regular calls, but not on the built in Voice memos application. It worked fine on my older Jawbone Icon, but haven't tested on the 4s or iOS 5.
    Thanks!

  • How do I allow users to backup iPhone EXCLUDING Exchange data (no CONTACTS, Mail, Calendar, Tasks, etc) for BOTH iCloud and iTunes?

    We are EXTREMELY sensitive to corporate data and we wish to force compliance to our standards. We understand people need to back up THEIR data, but we are not willing to allow them to backup OUR data. We define OUR data to be any data that is entered into our Corporate Mail environment (Exchange 2007).  Is there a way to allow for backups to either iCloud or iTunes that does not back up Exchange Contacts, Mail, Calendar, Tasks, etc. ?
    We are using Mobile Iron which provides a way to disable BackUp via iPhone profiles being distributed, but we wish to allow people the ability to backup their content, again, just not ours. And we've seen some very similar threads.
    We have noticed that the backups do not backup Mail and Calendar items, but it does backup Contacts. That's the sticking point.
    Any help would be most appreciated. This is a major concern.

    OK, sounded like a good suggestion, perhaps it only appeared the data was being backed up, but in reality the connection was being made and the contacts were some how syncing back w/ the cached credentials restablishing sync with the server. That would not have explained why messages and calendar items didn't resync; but I was willing to take it for a test spin. Wiped device, changed password in AD (so that it couldn't sync), began restore, and after restore with AD password changed prior to restore, the two test Exchange contacts were regrettably on my phone. Further test the reasonable theory of maybe credentials are being restored and the only contact data is being actually synced to get the data back on the phone, I added a third contact.
    Now just to be belt and suspenders (to make sure something isn't happening at the restore where it get's the contact information at that exact window of time), I am wiping my again to see if the third contact (that's in my exchange contacts on the server) makes it to my device possibly during the sync, but I'm pretty sure what is happening is that he contact is making it "or being" some how categorized as "phone" data as opposed to Exchange data and being backed up there erroneously. For instance if you were to create a contact on an iPhone prior to establishing a sync relationship with the exchange server, it would take that contact and create that contact on your exchange server for you so that your "phone" data and your "exchange" data (as it relates to contacts at least) are in sync.
    If you grant this assumption, then, when syncing Exchange data, the "phone" data is being created. When the back up takes place, I believe there is no distinction or bifurcation of these two data types. Phone data is backed up with no rhyme or reasoning related to its history or origin of creation (i.e. where it came from), it's not a contact from Exchange, it's just a contact. I believe Apple needs to tattoo Exchange contacts in some fashion or provide a "transparency" kind of paradigm or model used for calendars, where you can see two sources intermingled in a view, but they are truly not (you just see all).
    Apple has indicated they understand the severity of this and are looking into it, but if anyone else has any insight or profiles not discussed on

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Unfortunately once all the 3 iCloud accounts have been created on your device, you cannot create any more regardless of what you do. You will need to re-use one of the accounts that you have already created or create your new account on another iOS device or Mac computer.

    Hi Timothy,
    The account cannot be validated error was due to a glitch on our activation server that has been fixed now.
    Please try using acrobat now and check if you are still facing the problem.

  • My ipad air was bought and activated AFTER September 1st and I downloaded pages, keynote and numbers. I then changed my Apple ID as the password no longer worked, these apps were also deleted I order to be updated. Now I cannot get the free version. Help?

    My ipad air was bought and activated AFTER September 1st (activated December 25th) and I downloaded pages, keynote and numbers. I then changed my Apple ID as the password no longer worked, These apps had to be deleted as I needed to update them. Now I cannot get the free version on my ipad. I have searched the internet to see if there is a solution, and I found a few but unfortunately none have worked. I desperately need these apps as my iPad is used for school. Is this an issue I should take up with the apple support centre or something? Please help! Thanks
