Mail won't sync to icloud from my imac

Can't get mail to sync with icloud from my imac. This is what comes up.
iCloud mail couldn't be enabled form the iCloud preference pane.
Open Mail and add your iCloud account from Mail preferences.
Have added it manually and still won't sync.
Anyone help please.

Calendar and Mail won't sync with iCloud.

They synchronize fine between iMac and iPad. Contacts, Notes and Reminders are the only categories that do sync with iCloud on my iMac. I am running the latest Mountain Lion upgrade.

Yes, my Calendar syncs with Google as well as on the iPad and iMac. Why shouldn't it also sync with iCloud?
Because it's a Google Service not an iCloud service, you can still sync it to your Mac and your devices, just not using iCloud.

Mail won't sync with icloud.

I have an iphone 4 32gb, Win 7 x64, itunes 11.02.26, ios 6.1.2, and Outlook 2010. Recently had to do a complete Windows reinstall from scratch, but everything was backed up and is up and running normally again.
The iTunes info tab for my iphone says that my contacts, calenders, tasks are being synced with my iphone over the air with icloud. The mail is not. Previously it was. The icloud control panel only says the 'contacts, calenders and tasks with outlook' being synced, but mail is not listed. Clicking on the message only unchecks the tickbox.
MS Outlook has my @me.com account installed and working and 3 other email accounts, and the icloud refresh button on the toolbar is working ok. The same mail accounts are installed on the iphone and work ok. My phone and Outlook can each access all my mail accounts seperately without a problem. At present I have left the mail tickbox unchecked on the itunes info page for my iphone. (I dont want to mess up the information on either unless I have to). There are no checkboxes for the contacts, calenders or tasks as they are using icloud. Under 'settings/general/icloud' on my iphone, Mail and calenders are both selected to ON.
When I try to log into icloud.com, I get a message that 'icloud encountered an error while trying to connect to the server', but the system status check shows no problem.
How do I get my mail to sync between outlook and icloud the same as calenders, contacts, tasks and bookmarks?

Why are my contacts taking so long to sync to icloud from my imac

I have allowed my iMac to remain on and Contacts remains "actively" syncing to iCloud, but the number of contacts is still far apart on iCloud (2037) Contacts on iMac 3848). This has been going on for several days.
Plus the speed of the iMac has dramatically slowed and it appears to go into sleep mode after a very short period of time.

Not sure what you are downloading, but it isn't a 4MB music file within 2 seconds.
Even if you could get a true 56K speed (which does not exist) for dial-up, each 4MB file would take you 10 minutes to download.
Most 56K modems are limited to around 40-50K at their fastest.
Your times for the 11 songs seems about right.
-- 11 songs @ an average of 3 minutes in length & 1MB/min = 33 MB total to download
-- 33MB @ 56K = 1h23m
-- 33MB @ 34K = 2h17m
You are probably getting between 30K and 42K of real download speed from the modem.

Mail won't sync all folder from Microsoft Exchange

I have been using Mail to connect to my office Exchange account from past 6 months and the experience has not been great so far.
Each day when I open Mail, it syncs only the folder which is currently selected and does not sync other folders at all. I need to synchronize multiple times and restart Mail multiple times to get this working correctly. And Mail also intermittently stops receiving mails with no error.
I tried it on both iMac desktop and MacBook pro and results were the same. Whenever I face this, I try to use Connection Doctor and Ping to monitor server and it seems to be fine.
Anybody else facing the issue? Any troubleshooting tips or fixing tips are welcome.
Thanks a lot for your time in advance.

Which version of exchange are you connecting to? How did you set it up?

TS3999 my icloud calendar from gmail syncs with my ipad and gmail but won't sync on icloud on my pc

My ipad mini and my gmail contacts are syncing but if I go to icloud.com not of my calendar events are listed. In the upper left corner it just says CALENDAR. My ipad mini is set up to sync with my gmail account and that seems to be working. I tested entering a new event on my ipad and it synced to my gmail calendar but won't sync to icloud.com apple account.

See Pierre-Yves 1 post: https://discussions.apple.com/message/23297197#23297197
This was driving me crazy. Sync between Outlook 2007 and my iphone was working perfectly on ios 6 - I primarily sync Calendar, contacts, and notes.
Then everything went bizerk with ios 7... All of a sudden nothing was getting syncronized, but rather multiple Calendars and Contacts showed up in Outlook 2007. Disabling Calendar, contacts, and Notes in my iphone's icloud settings did the trick. Now I have ONE Calendar and ONE contact list in Outlook, fully in sync with my iphone.

Computer won't sync with icloud

After installing Lion and enabling icloud on my macbook pro...it won't sync to icloud. I've logged in on the internet to see my icloud account and no new entries put in my calendar from my laptop are there. New enteries from my iphone 4s are in icloud (on line) - but are not synced to the computer or vice versa? What's up?

There's no need to do anything on the phone which is plainly working.
While in theory I agree with you 99%, I've noticed iCloud seems so glitchy at times, (new technology?) that I've seen enough strange things so I try to make sure I don't burn off an extra 4 hours of trouble-shooting because of one little step such as this.

Contacts on phone won't sync to iCloud

I have some contacts which I recently added to my iPhone; they resolutely stay on my iPhone and won't sync to iCloud (or my Address Book on my Mac). I have checked every setting I can think of, turned things off and on again, but nothing works. The only thing I can think of is that if I click 'Groups' in Address Book on the phone, this particular bunch of people come up under 'Gmail'. But how do I get them out of Gmail and onto iCloud?
Suggestions appreciated!!

Problem is resolved - I connected phone to macbook pro, resetting my sync settings to include sync via wi-fi, and ejected phone; for a while, nothing happened but after a while, the contacts newly entered on the macbook pro did finally show up on phone - so thanks for advice but problem is moot. And i am not so sure I would have wanted to delete all my contacts from the phone and trust the iCloud back up -- on the other hand the force- code contacts and re-set phone suggestions look like good ones.
Many thanks, anyway.

Mail won't connect to iCloud, goes offline

Mail has been problematic. Once a day it will not download emails from the servers, and all accounts will go offline. A restart of Mail solves this, but why does it happen? Aslo, Mail won't connect with iCloud, with the password not being accepted both in Mail and in the System Preferences. However, the password does work with accessing iCloud via browser. How would I fix this?

Apparently NO ONE knows how to fix this problem. I've scoured the posts on the Apple discussions and a lot of people have this problem, but no one can solve it. And ANY suggestions are always the ones that we all know how to try anyway. Never anything new. No one can solve the problem and obviously Apple doesn't give a rat! They never help either. I see a LOT of posts with a QUESTION, and no one answers them.

My iphone 6plus won't sync my calendar from outlook 2010. How can I fix this?

My iphone 6plus won't sync my calendar from Outlook 2010. How can I make this work again?

If you put information into one calendar and it synced to the other phone, then it sounds as if you are using iCloud, not Outlook. You need to check that. When I asked about the type of calendar, I was asking if this was your own Outlook, or were you using a work Exchange calendar. If you don't know the difference, I would say it is probably personal. If you look at calendars in the bottom center, are there more than one calendar listed? Do you see an ICloud calendar? Do you see an Outlook calendar?

My iPad won't sync my iCloud documents

My iPad won't sync my iCloud documents,neither will my computer, and I have everything checked and updated. From the "Document and Sharing" box to the password being rewritten a thousand times. I also have space in my iCloud memory. What to do? URGENT

Hello Modean,
It sounds like you have deleted and re added the iCloud account to your iPad but none of the iCloud content will sync to this one device. I have a few things to recommend for you. First, delete the iCloud account again from Settings > iCloud. Then close all the apps on the iPad:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that, reset the network settings on your iPad then retest the issue:
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including:
previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
recently used Bluetooth accessories
VPN and APN settings
From: iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1398
If the issue persists, I would next backup your device to iTunes, and restore it:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,

I've just bought an iPhone 5S in the UK, seems like a big mistake. I have turned off sync to icloud from the phone for both my contacts and calendar, as told on itunes. However, iTunes still says they are synced from iCloud and wont sync to PC, Fix ?

I've just bought an iPhone 5S in the UK, seems like a big mistake, but luckily by law we can return goods, which is exactly what is going to happen if I cant get this to work. This is my business phone, not having it functional can cost me money.
I have turned off sync to icloud from the phone for both my contacts and calendar, as told on itunes. However, iTunes still says they are synced from iCloud and wont sync to my PC, why and how do I fix it so that it doesnt go to iCloud for anything ?
The phone currently has no contacts or calendar information installed.
PC is HP Probook 4730s running Windows 7, Professional, version 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 Build 7601.

I'm happy you figured it out and just try to keep in mind that not everyone you talk to at support will give the same advice or have the same knowledge. Just like those who contribute to these forums. Sometimes Google is your best friend.
I agree that Apple could probably make it easier, but as of yet prefer security over freedom. (sound famaliar?)

IPad (4th Gen Retina Display Wi-Fi) (iOS 7.0.4) won't sync new music from iTunes (Windows). Only solution found was to uncheck "Sync Music" under Music tab, apply, then recheck "Sync Music" and apply. Any other solution?

iPad (Retina Display) (iOS 7.0.4) won't sync new music from iTunes (Windows). Only solution found was to uncheck "Sync Music" under Music tab, apply, then recheck "Sync Music" and apply. This is timely and aggravating. Any other solution?
I have also tried a hard reset. I have also gone into settings and checked "display all music".
Anyone know if the new update will have solutions to this problem?

Successful experience with Apple Care.
If anyone is having the same problem, there's a chance it's an issue with the Mobile Device Manager for iTunes. The key is to ditch the old/corrupt file and replace it via clean iTunes installation.
Here's the fix that worked for me:
1. Trash iTunes (uninstall); don't forget to trash it from your dock if you have it there.
2. Head to /System/Library/Extensions/ and trash file AppleMobileDevice.kext
3. Head to /Library/Receipts/ and trash AppleMobileDeviceSupport.pkg ( * this may or may not be there * )
4. Restart computer (& empty trash)
5. Download fresh & clean iTunes and reinstall.
Voila! The content is now properly recognized by iTunes, the capacity bar registers the correct amount and type beyond "Other", and now I can put music back on the iPad.

My contacts on my iphone won't sync to icloud. Any suggestions??

My contacts on my iPhone won't sync to iCloud. Any suggestions??

Yes contacts is on and the account listed is the iCloud account (@me.com)
When I go onto iCloud the only contact there is my @me.com email. This account was set up so I could use iCloud but I also have a yahoo account on my iPhone if this has anything to do with it.
