Removing Accounts From Mail, Contacts & Calendars

So, I have a problem with something that's just idly bothering me. Recently I've deleted my Twitter account and have no idea how to remove the account from the list of accounts I have linked with my laptop in the Mail, Contacts & Calendars. It's probably a really simple fix, but I'm not computer savvy in the last. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Open System Preferences > Mail, Contacts and Calendars, and choose the Twitter account in the sidebar. Then, below this sidebar, you will see a - button:
Press it and this Twitter account will be deleted

"A secure connection couldn't be established" from Mail, Contacts & Calendars

While trying to sync with my Google Calendar account via the "Mail, Contacts & Calendars" preference pain, I am receiving the error message "A secure connection couldn't be established." The dialog windows goes on to offer that it can continue to try creating the account anyways. I instruct it to do so, however after processing for a while, this too fails. The final error message is "There was a problem setting up the account. iCal couldn't discover the account settings for the CalDAV server "google.com". My Google mail account syncs without problem.
I expect "Mail, Contacts & Calendars" to be compatible with Google Calendar. Am I missing something?

I played with this some more today and have worked around it for now. I launched iCal and went to add a new account there. I first tried leaving the account type as automatic and entered my Gmail account and password. That attempt failed. I next tried specifying an account type of Google, and that also failed. I finally gave in and set it explictly to CalDAV. I entered the settings for CalDAV as described by Google at http://www.google.com/support/calendar/bin/answer.py?answer=99358#ical and it connected fine and works. Now, what makes this interesting is that both iCal and "Mail, Contacts & Calendars" view the account I added this way as a Google/Gmail account, not as a manually added CalDAV account to 'some server.'

How can I Add Account in Mail, Contacts, Calendars

On my Ipad Mini, Under Settings, my "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" brings me to its main page. All of my accounts are grey, inactive. I can't select the Icloud, gmail or add account?!!
This also applies to my Facebook setting. Help!
Thanks.

Settings>General>Restrictions>Allow Changes>Accounts. Check that setting. If you restricted changes to accounts, those items will be greyed out and inaccessible.

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.

How to delete a calendar on iPhone when there are no accounts in Mail, Contacts

I have 3 calendars showing 1 Exchange and 2 Gmail. There are no accounts in Mail, Contacts and Calendars and when I deleted the accounts I did select remove all data. The mail and contacts deleted but not the calendar.
I have also tried sync with itunes only the calendar selected and checking the erase all other information box, however it simply adds the On My Mac Calendar for a total of 4 calendars.
Any suggestions are welcomed, I have tried a few other things that I read on discussion boards all with no luck, but keeping an open mind.
Thanks!

How do I change/add a new Default account to Settings/Mail,Contacts,Calendars/Contacts ?

I've set up my home PC and using MS-Outlook to harmonize email from several accounts. I want any Contacts added through the iPhone-4 to synchronize with a specific email account (e.g. it is Yahoo now and I want to change it to another.) However, in Settings-Mail,Contacts,Calendars-Contacts there is no button or other Edit feature that allows or enables change of Default Account. Any experience or ideas for me?

Wish i could call that a good try,... No my other email accounts don't appear in that Default Accounts list. So, I'm forced to delete those email accounts and reconnect them, EXCEPT when i do that any contacts in the iPhone will also be deleted and only available in a backup, which will probably cancel the new account set up,.. Want to try again?

Duplicate accounts in Mail, Contact and Calendar

I found that I have duplicate accounts in Mail, Contacts and Calendar. When I try to delete them from within those apps, System Preferences - iCloud is launched. Within iCloud there are no duplicates, so there is nothing to delete. How do I delete the duplicates in the individual apps?

Well, it looks like you’ll have to do some kind of Reset Sync Data in System Preferences > .Mac > Advanced, e.g. from the .Mac server to the PowerBook, maybe after quitting Mail and moving com.apple.mail.plist out of ~/Library/Preferences/...

Hey Jeremy,
From the Enterprise Deployment Guide:
+Important: When you configure a device to sync with Exchange, all existing calendar+
+and contact information on the device is overwritten. Additionally, iTunes no longer+
+sync contacts and calendars with your desktop computer. You can still sync your device+
+wirelessly with MobileMe services.+
+To change how many day’s worth of data is synced to your device, go to Settings >+
+Mail, Contacts, and Calendars. The default setting is three days.+

How do I remove an entire email account from mail if it does not allow me to click "remove mailbox"?

How do I remove an entire email account from mail if it does not allow me to click "remove mailbox"?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Unfortunately you can't delete accounts, you also can't change or remove iCloud addresses.

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.

I want to delete my gmail on my iPad, yet my iPad won't allow me to access the option. I went on my iPad settings Mail, Contacts, Calendars, although i cannot tap on iCloud, Gmail, or Add Account... How do i fix this?

I want to delete/sign out my gmail on my Ipad, but my ipad won't allow me to delete it.
Example:
I tapped on Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars, although I cannot tap on iCloud, Gmail, and Add Account...
how do I fix this?

Sorry, you said Gmail. If that's the case, you can try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
Try again to see if the problem persists.

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.
=(

Sys Pref panel "Mail Contacts Calendar" freezes

Sys Pref panel "Mail Contacts Calendar" completely freezes just by trying to open it. And I've discovered that If I remove my gmail account (from the mail.app) It works again. I've made 2 clean installs of Mountain lion and the problem stays.
If it helps I have set up icloud, twitter, facebook, gmail and my gmail adress is the same that I use for icloud as apple id.
Has anybody any idea.
Thanks.

This was happening to me too. I deleted the MobileMeAccount.plist file in my user's Library/Preferences folder and the Preferences window now loads and responds to input properly.

MacBookAir: system preferences internet & wireless does not show mail, contacts & calendars

I'm trying to figure out how to NOT store my mail on the iCloud server. I was directed to first go to ""system preferences," then "internet and wireless," and then "mail, contacts, calendars," except I don't have a folder for "mail, contacts, and calendars." Why wouldn't it show up?
I'm on Macbook Air, OS 10.6.8

Thanks, it was linked in iPhoto. After removing it from iPhoto I still got the same message when trying to delete the account from Mail. After rebooting, I was able to remove the account from Mail.
