"Mail, contact, calendar " can't be opened anymore, why?

Hej together,
Some problems with the installation of my e-mail account, as I can't  get anymore in installation menue for "Mail, Contact, Calender" to put in my server, etc informations for the installation of the e-mail account...Can someone help a poor "fresh man" ?  thanks

Do you mean that it crashes or freezes when you try to open it or that it's greyed out and protected ? If it rashes or freezes then have you tried closing the Settings app completely and seeing if it works when you re-open it ? From the home screen (i.e. not with Settings '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 the Settings app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then you could try a 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 greyed out/protected then check that Settins > General > Restrictions > Accounts isn't set to Don't Allow Changes

  • Can't access mail, contacts, calendar tab will not open

    I can not access my emails.  I updated my password on my PC and tried to updated my password for my email account on my iPad but when I go to the account settings page and tap on "mail, contacts, calendar" tab it will not open.  I have the original iPad and every since I downloaded iOS 5 I have had all sorts of  glitches on my iPad... Frustrating...

    Hey Paul,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. There are two options to assist with the issue, Reset All Settings or backup and restore the device and setup as new.
    To Reset All Settings on the device: Settings > General > Reset All Settings
    If you need to restore your iPad, the following article will assist with this.

    You need to reset your iPad by holding down the home and also the sleep button at the same time till the Apple logo appears then let it wake up.

  • You can't open Mail, Contacts & Calendars preferences because it doesn't work on an Intel-based Mac.

    I updated my Mac to Mavericks and after that, I can't open the Mail, Contacts and Calendar preferences.
    Every time I try, I get the following message:
    "You can’t open Mail, Contacts & Calendars preferences because it doesn’t work on an Intel-based Mac."
    I tried this workaround from the Mountain Lion thread (https://discussions.apple.com/message/21303574#21303574) but it didn't worked.
    Further I deleted all files in the Library Preferences folder, but it didn't helped also.
    Can anyone help me please?

    Hi Michael,
    I had the same problem. And I found a fix.
    I noticed that on a different system running Mavericks without any problems, the preference pane isn't called 'Mail, Contacts & Calendars' anymore, it's now called 'Internet accounts'. The fact that it's still called by the old name on your system, means it somehow wasn't replaced while updating to Mavericks.
    So the cure is pretty easy:
    On a different Mavericks system, go to /System/Library/PreferencePanes/ and copy the file InternetAccounts.prefPane. Take it to the system you're trying to fix, and paste the prefPane file in the same directory. Reboot, and it should all work fine. At least it did in my case.
    Cheers

  • Mountain Lion: can't open Mail, Contacts & Calendars preference pane

    Hi guys,
    I downloaded Mountain Lion this morning and am loving it. But I'm having a problem that so far I can't find anything about here or elsewhere on the web: I cannot open the Mail, Contacts & Calendars preference pane in System Preferences. Instead I get 1 of 2 error messages. The first says simply that it couldn't load this preference pane (see attached pic), while the second says it cannot open it because this service is not available on Intel-based Macs.
    The weirdest thing is that I WAS able to open this pane at least once right after downloading ML. I know that it looks the same as this setting in the Settings iOS app, and I even unchecked some of the options for my gmail and exchange email accounts (chose not to sync notes, calendars, etc. with all those accounts since I just use iCloud now).
    I've tried restarting System Preferences, and my computer, multiple times... no luck. Any ideas?!?
    THANKS!
    P.S.- I've got a mid-2009 MBP that meets the specifications for ML.

    Unfortunately my above message does NOT solve my original Mail, Contacts and Calendars problem, which continues. Here's a pic of the other message I routinely received (below)...
    Is anyone else having this problem???

  • I updated to iOS5 weeks ago; but suddenly I can't open the mail, contacts, calendar settings and I am not getting any email to my iPad2 AND it keeps trying to connect and it is runnijng the battery down...any help?

    I updated to iOS5 weeks ago; but suddenly I can't open the mail, contacts, calendar settings and I am not getting any email to my iPad2 AND it keeps trying to connect and it is runnijng the battery down...any help?
    I already tried rebooting, and I tried hooking it up to itunes as well, no luck there either.

    Try to reset all settings.
    Settings > General > Reset > Reset all Settings.  It won't delete your data.
    When you say reboot, do you mean you pressed the home and sleep button at the same time until it restarted? 

  • 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 accidentally deleted my account under the Mail, Contacts, Calendars setting. How can i get the account back?

    In settings > Mail, contacts, calendars> account. i was trying to delete the email part, but i didnt know it also deleted the notes part. i really need the notes. how can i get it back? the email wasn't an iCloud account.

    If you don't have an Installer disk then you can't install without a purchase. Do you have the grey SystemRestore disks that came with your Mac? It's on that. No, iPhoto is not part of Lion.

    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 ... ?

  • 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?

      Hi
    I m not sure i m in the right comunity.
    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.

  • After updating to Yosemite, following apps not opening. App Store, Mail, Contacts, Calendars... About the Mac

    About the Mac
    I recently updated to Yosemite and now I am having problems with the above mentioned apps, not opening at all.
    I am unable to check to which version its update to, or even update to next version.

    You ran a defective third-party "utility" such as "CleanMyMac" or "MacCleanse" that purports to "clean up" "junk" files. What it really does is to corrupt the operating system and many applications.   
    The first thing you need to do is remove that software according to the developer's instructions. Never install it, or anything like it, again. Then see below. If you use any iWork applications, you may need to delete them and redownload them from the App Store.
    If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS.* You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
    If you use FileVault 2, then before running the Installer you must launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the FileVault startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) It will be nested below another icon, usually with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar and enter your login password when prompted. Then quit Disk Utility to be returned to the main Recovery screen.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode. All other data will be preserved.
    *The linked support article refers to OS X 10.10 ("Yosemite"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later.

  • Unable to open Settings Mail, Contacts, Calendars

    I'm unable to open Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars.  It just reverts back to the home page every time I click on it.  I've tried resetting everything, but I still have the same problem.

    Thanks, Plimosoll.  I also finally got to the Apple shop where they were very helpful, but lost some of my backup because I don't fully understand the system yet.
    I asked what the so-called Genius in the shop had done.  He told me he had done a DFU restore.  This is not explained in any of the documentation provided by Apple, but is easily found using Google.
    It's slightly annoying, as I tried to get this information from the phone help.  I was told that as I bought the Ipad more than 90 days ago it would cost me GBP25 to answer my question.  In the time that the person explained this, albeit cleary and politely, she could have just told me to Google DFU restore.  Still, I suppose that is how Apple has made so much money.
    Anyway this fix has opened up a whole new area for using my Ipad.

    Try deleting the Yahoo account stuff from the iPod and reenter the settings. Some users have had to reset their Yahoo password to get it to work. Many users have problems with their Yahoo account on the iPod.
