Mail, Contacts, Calendar and other Things1

I am planning on doing a fresh Yosemite install on my 2011 iMac. When I purchased the iMac, I migrated everything over from 2006 a MacBook. The iMac has run sluggish ever since and, and in order to correct this, formatting my iMac HD and installing Yosemite is my only option. Some questions linger however. I know I need all my s/w keys to my 3rd party applications, which I have. However, my concern is with recovering my email, my contacts and calendar. I use iCloud and Dropbox to sync things with my other digital devices such as iPhone & iPad. I don't have email go to my iPhone so it resides on my iMac.
Can anyone tell me if my existing contacts, calendar and email will populate in the apps on my iMac in Yosemite from either iCloud or Dropbox?

In case it's not obvious, you absolutely must back up all data before upgrading, regardless of iCloud or anything else.

Error enabling "Mail, Contacts, Calendars, and Tasks with Outlook" in iCloud 3.0 Control Panel

Unable to enable option “Mail, Contacts, Calendars, and Tasks with Outlook” under iCloud 3.0 Control Panel.
Get following error when clicking checkbox to enable it under iCloud 3.0 Control Panel.
"Setup can't continue because Outlook isn't configured to have a default profile. Check your Outlook settings and try again."
Have tried the following:
Uninstalled / reinstalled iCloud 3.0 control panel
Removed all mail accounts from Outlook 2013 except MS account
Confirmed Outlook was chosen for “Always uses this profile” under Control Panel – Mail (MicroSoft Outlook 2013) – show profiles
Still get the same error when trying to enable the option under iCloud 3.0 Control Panel
PC is running Windows 8.1 (64 bit)
Outlook 2013 was just installed on the PC as part of new Office 2013 installation

Two more things:
First, sorry for the bad spelling, grammar, and all of that. English isn't my first language and I'm so frustrated at this point I'm not paying any attention to it. Sorry!
Second, after trying to repair again the icloud 3.0 through the Control Panel of Windows, guess what? It made Offce to crash again! Now I will have to install it again.

Mail, Contacts, Calendar and App Store Not Opening in Yosemite

After 24 hours of buggy overall operation several of the apps stopped working. Specifically Mail, Contacts, Calendar and App Store do not launch. I had same problem with Omnifocus but was able to restore it after a fresh download.
I have tried the standard methods -- (multiple) restarts, Repair permission, fsck -fy, etc. but now need to appeal to "higher power" for help.
I am assuming that without App Store, there is no way to re-download and install Yosemite. So my first question would be -- how to I get Yosemite without App Store? I need to sort this out for future updates as well, including the inevitable 10.10.01
Until that is fixed, I'd also like to know if there is a work around for getting Mail, Contacts and Calendars are restored.
Help!
I am on mid 2010 Macbook Pro 15" 2.66 with 8 GB of memory, 256 GB SSD (OS) and 500 GB Hard Drive. (Data)

Update - Checked Messages, it too does not load.
Strangely -- Safari and Preview are both working fine.

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:
Get help using iCloud Contacts
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,

ICloud Mail, Contacts, Calendar & Tasks setup error

I am trying to install iCloud on my PC (Windows 7 64 bit) and the installation seems to complete fine but after I restart and login and try to setup Mail, Contacts, Calendars and Tasks I get an error pop up on the screen saying the iCloud Control Panel Installation did not set up properly and that I need to repair it. When I click on reports it shows this error:
The iCloud Control Panel did not install properly. To repair it, you need to go to Programs and Features, select iCloud from the program list and click Change. When prompted, click on Repair. <a href="repair">Open Programs and Features…</a>
Error: 0x80004005: DataProviderRegistered
Error: 0x80004005: ZebraMapiCopySession::CanCreateZebraStore: CreateMessageService failed
Can someone please help me set this up successfully as I have been trying everything for a whole day now including repairing Outlook. There is no evidence that iCloud has been setup in Outlook before but it has previously so I know it can work together (I removed it some time ago when PhotoStream stopped updating).
Any help would be fantastic, thank you!

This drove me nuts for a week. I tried everything, uninstalling and reinstalling both Outlook and iCloud Control Panel multiple times. But today I finally fixed it and everything is syncing perfectly again! You need to shut down your PC and restart in SAFE MODE WITH NETWORKING (so repeatedly hit F8 when it is booting up and select that option). Once the PC has started in this mode, open up the iCloud control panel, select the Mail, Contacts Calendars and Tasks check box, click Apply, and hopefully it should work (as it did for me)! Good luck!

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

I recently got 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

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

IPhone 4S contacts, calendar and notepad all missing? Help!

My contacts, calendar, and notepad have all gone missing off of my iphone 4s. My contacts should have backed up to iCloud but when I logged in through my computer it was empty there too. My calendar was syncing to gmail and is still in my gmail account but not on the phone. Does anyone know if there is some sort of system error or is it just maybe my phone? How can I get my contacts back and make my phone start recognizing my gmail calendar? I didn't make any changes to my phone before this stuff disappeared and to top it off the button on the top of my phone is broken and I can't turn my phone on and off. Earlier in the week I did the latest software update but it's been a few days since that. Help please!

Hello Bonnie1213,
If you are not seeing your contacts and you are using iCloud, then check in Settings > iCloud to see if those options are turned on. If you are not using iCloud but another account that offers those type of syncing services, then look in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and find the account that you do sync with and make sure those options are turned on.

Have you attempted a restore?

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?

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.

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.

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?

Dear Al
Thanks for your reply.
I have just found out what's wrong. I went to the 'more info' section of my Chitchat application and it took me to a link where it explained that Yahoo Chat has ditched chatting with the Java protocol and chatters can now only chat via the Yahoo Messenger protocol, which is Yahoo Instant Messenger with Voice. Unfortunately Yahoo doesn't provide a platform for Yahoo Voice for Macintosh computers. Though the original link I went to provides another link to a thing called 'Adium' from which a Mac can access Yahoo Chat's new protocol, although it's not fully developed yet.
Oh...and thanks so much for letting me know about the Java update release. I did not know that I have to upgrade my system first to recieve the latest update information.
Regards
Tina
