Removing email account, but keeping contacts and calendar

I have a work email account setup on my iPad. I have changed jobs and would like to delete the old work account. Is it possible to remove the old email account, but preserve the contacts and calendar information?
Thanks

Same happening here. Contacts and calendars sync between 2 Macs OK using iCloud. iCloud syncing with iOS devices worked well until Monday afternoon 12/19.
Since then (3 days) mail, contacts and calendars in my iCloud account do not sync to iPhone 4 and iPad. Photo Stream OK.
All software is up to date. Wiped iPhone and started fresh. Still syncing is broken.
OmniFocus, Evernote, Gmail, Dropbox sync OK. Safari works too.
Attempts to delete iCloud from iPhone stall at spinning pinwheel.
Likewise attempts to disable calendar and contacts services stall.
Seems this problem relates to iCloud security on iOS gadgets.
Still out if sync.

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/...

My iCloud for windows is syncing email and notes with my MS Outlook 2013 on windows 8 but NOT contacts and calendar

Dear, I have downloaded and installed iCloud for windows and see that a user has been auto setup in my MS Outlookvia imap. I can now sync email and notes.I cannot sync icloud contacts and calendar with my MS Outlook, can you help me with this?

iCloud hosts the calendars on its server and your various computers read them from there. The protocol for doing this is called CalDAV.
Outlook for Mac has not been equipped with the programming for CalDAV and therefore cannot access iCloud calendars. Outlook for Windows evidently has and can.
This is something only Microsoft can rectify and you could send them feedback suggesting they do this with all convenient speed.
Outlook on a Mac can only access calendars living under 'On My Mac' and these cannot sync with iCloud. iCal can sync with iCloud provided you have 1-.7.2 or higher.

Mavericks can't sync contacts need to sync multiple family iPhones to same account but keep contacts in separate groups

Both my wife and son have iPhones and prior to mavericks I was able to sync contacts through iTunes and select which group of contacts synced with the phone so for instance my son would only see his contacts and my wife her own,but the imac would hold the master back up
I cannot see anyway to do this now as the only way to sync contacts appears to be through icloud.i can't find any support documents to explain what happens if I turn icloud sync on as all it says on iphone is merge contacts which presumably would then put all contacts on each phone
Does anyone know how I could achieve the desired goal?

1 person = 1 account
iCloud is for individual use, so if 5 people share the same account they will get all of the contacts (and calendar events) in the account. Kinda messy.
Give each person their own account in iCloud and their own user account on the Mac.
iTunes can still be shared with a seperate ID for all to use.
Syncing via iTunes has nothing to do with iCloud, and is no longer possible with Mavericks.

Removing Email account whilst keeping email messages

Hi,
I would like to remove an email account whilst keeping my old email addresses that arrived through that email account.
How do I ensure I keep all the old email messages?
Thanks

Ok I already have a mac account setup. I have all the messages from the original email account go into folders "on the mac". Does that mean the messages are safely stored on the MAC and when I delete the account the emails will stay in the folders?

E72: Removing Email account from a restore and lar...

I removed all my push mail accounts and went manual because my battery life is longer that way. I also purged my account from email.nokia.com. Recently, my IMAP mail from google stop working. I thought it was because of some corrupted data in the phone, so I tried removing and recreating the mailbox numerous times, reboot and all but nothing works. It simply doesn't get mails past a certain date/time.
I did a hard reset, shift+space+backspace+poweron and re-setup everything. I still encountered the same problem on my E72. So I did a restore using the Ovi application. Nightmare begins.
I restored the 'push mail' accounts which no longer exist because I have previously removed them from email.nokia.com. Now when I try to remove the mailbox, it says 'you need to connect to xx to remove it.' Obviously I cannot connect because that account no longer exists. And the 2 mailboxes spam me with prompts for passwords and neither can log on. I had to hard-reset again and setup everything from scratch thanks to this stupid problem.
I eventually traced the problem to 2 emails which are exceptionally long. People just reply and reply and reply until the mail became about 20 pages long. Let's say I have 30 mails in my gmail 1-30. Mail 10 and 15 are the long ones. If I sync, it will only retrieve 1-9, then get stuck there. If I go to gmail to delete 10, it will sync until 14 then get stuck there. When it is 'stuck', it just connects and disconnects right away, without attempting to retrieve my mail 16-30.
I tried again using pushmail. Push mail works with that large mail 15 probabaly because it is retrieved server-side.
Please advise. How to solve these issues? It is quite frustrating... I don't want to use google's gmail application because you can't save attachments with that. And PDFs all become text files in gmail app's viewer.

Open Mail on the old laptop and in the Accounts section of its preferences click on your email account and then on the "-" button at the bottom. Then go into the User/Library folder and delete the Mail folder to remove all the old emails.

TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Deleted an email account but keeps sending mail from it

Hi,
I have a problem, I just deleted all my e-mail accounts and created a new one but when i reply some of the emails keep being sent from the old account. I looked everywhere to find some setting linked to that old account but i can't find it. For example:
i had : [email protected] and now i have [email protected] and xxxx@(microsoft exchange adress) . com
and when i reply from the second one sometimes it's being sent from [email protected] and this adress isn't in my accounts anymore.
Thanks.

Hi,
Two places... Mail Preferences>Composing>Sending>Send new Mail from.

How do I delete an email account, but keep the email?

I have an email account from ISP that I no longer use. I want to delete the account, but I don't want to lose the email. How do I delete the account and save all of the email?
Can I create a folder and move all of the email from the account I want to delete to the folder? From what I've read so far the email would still be deleted from that folder.
This seems like it would be a common occurrence with a lot of people, so I'm surprised that there is not an solution from Apple. Apple indicates that if an email account is deleted you will lose all of the mail. There should be an option when you delete the account that asks "Do you what to keep all of the email from this account? Yes/No". If yes then the system automatically saves email to an archive folder or something similar.
Hopefully there is an easy workaround solution.

Create a new "On My Mac" mailbox and move the messages to it. Then delete the account.

Want to delete Exchange account but keep contacts

I had an Exchange account setup on my iphone but I want to delete it now. Problem is, I have all my contacts in that Exchange account. When I try removing the account, it warns me that all contacts will be deleted. How do I save my contacts so they arent deleted?

If you have your contact information available with a supported application on computer for syncing contact information with your iPhone via the iTunes sync process such as with Outlook 2003 or 2007, you can transfer the contact information to your iPhone that way.
When you enable over the air syncing for contact information with an Exchange account or with a MobileMe account, existing contact information on your iPhone is erases and replaced with the contact information available on the server. When deleting such an account on your iPhone, all contact information that was transferred to your iPhone via the over the air sync process is also deleted.

Removing Email Account - but not messages

I recently changed from provider V to C so I no longer want to get mail for V. Yet it does, every time (I see in Connection Doctor) and occasionally asks me for my V password despite having unchecked 'Include what automatically checking for new messages'.
I have also found if I uncheck ' enable this account' that the V messages are no longer available (of which there are 50,000+ distributed throughout 50 mailboxes).
I'd just like it not to check for V emails anymore.

Well, if all you want is Mail to not check for new mail automatically on this account, you can just turn OFF Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > Include when automatically checking for new mail.
That said, you can create custom “On My Mac” mailboxes, and move there all the messages currently stored in the account’s mailboxes.
Whatever you do, make a backup copy of the ~/Library/Mail folder first, just in case. You can do this in the Finder by dragging the folder to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down, for example (quit Mail first).
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder, i.e. ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder.

Can I remove sepia tone but keep crop and other tone settings?

I can't figure out how to remove the creative setting "Sepia tone" without resetting all settings on an image. Is there a way?

You may be able to Copy the latest settings (using the COPY button below the History Panel). Highlight the latest settings in the History Panel and click COPY.
In the Pop-up screen, select only those changes that you made after applying the Preset, such as exposure, etc by ticking appropriate boxes.
Then Click on History Step before the Sepia Tone step. Click Copy.
It may not work if some of your changes after applying the Sepia Tone altered any settings that the Sepia Tone also alters. You can find what changes the Sepia Tone Preset makes, by right clicking on it in the Presets panel. Export it to, say, your desktop and view its contents using a text editor. The Sepia Tone does change the Tone Curve, Converts to Black and White, and alters Gray Scale Settings among other changes.
So maybe if you experiment with the Copy and paste, you may get close to removing its effects.
Otherwise, I do not know of a way of removing it without also undoing all your post Sepia Tone changes.
Maybe someone else knows a way.

TS2776 Any ideas why my Outlook 2010 is syncing with iCloud for e-mail but not for contacts and calendars? I am not a novice user and have done all the obvious things. The situation is odd because the original calendars all came from Outlook in the first

I use iMac, iPad and iPhone but also an HP laptop. I have used Macs since 1986 so I am not a novice. I set up my iCloud account, moving from MobileMe recently and everything works fine on my Apple devices. The bizarre thing is I can see all my e-mail accounts via iCloud in Outlook but the contacts and calendars are not syncing in Outlook even though the original calendar material came from Outlook (the contacts data is all from the iMac). I've tried all the obvious things and read most of the articles on the Apple Support website. All the relevant boxes are checked on the iCloud dashboard on each device but I just wondered if I was missing something obvious. I'm sure some of you will have had the same expereince and solved it. Can you help me?
Thanks in anticipation!

HT4623 Lost of contacts and calendar

Settings>Emails, Contacts, Calendar>iCloud Account. Is Contacts and Calendar ON?
Check also in Contacts and Calendar apps if you have "Groups" or "Calendars" buttons. (Up left). If yes, tap on it and check inside.

Contacts and Calendar unable to sync

Yesterday my iPhone started having a problem syncing Contacts and Calendars. As far as I know, I changed no settings on either my phone or my computer to cause this to happen. I'm using a Mac with OSX Tiger, syncing through the USB cable with iTunes.
I first found that my calendars would not sync in either direction (iCal > phone or vice versa). The "Sync calendars" box was definitely checked, but when I tried to sync, it skips over the calendar sync process altogether (it used to display "Syncing calendars..." for a few seconds in the top of the iTunes window back before it stopped working, but not anymore).
I did a restore on my phone, losing my contacts and calendars that were already on there, and discovered that the contacts weren't syncing as well (despite most definitely being set to sync in iTunes), leaving me with a blank contact list. Other things such as Applications and Photos are able to sync perfectly fine. Here are things I've tried after reading some discussions, to no avail:
-Restoring the phone (both to a backup and as a new iPhone)
-Unchecking/rechecking "Sync Calendars/Contacts" boxes in iTunes, including experimenting with "all contacts" vs certain groups of contacts and calendars
-Resetting my Sync history in iSync
-Creating a new user account, with test contacts and calendar appointments (also failed to transfer)
-Hard resetting the phone
None of these seems to have helped the problem. It's as if my computer doesn't realize that I've checked the boxes to sync anything under the "Info" tab in iTunes.
Any ideas that I haven't tried yet? Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Thomas,
Did contacts and calendar sync in another user account?
Have you installed any software that takes over syncing on your Mac? Maybe software that would let you sync a Windows Mobile phone.
If the issue is happening in all user accounts, try reinstalling iTunes as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1224
If the issue is only happening in one user account, there may be an issue with the SyncServices folder which is described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1865
