Siri/Mail, Contacts, calendars 'my info'

In each of these settings there is another setting called 'My info'. When you initially get the phone it is set to 'none'. I accidentally selected a contact for this and now want to set it back to 'none'. Could anyone assist in how to do that?

If it is iPhone 4, Can I get the app 'Personal Assistant'? Isn't it the same thing?...
If the app you want is in the App store & your phone meets the requirements, yes.

Full Mail, Contact, Calendar synchronization with multiple devices, Possible?

Looking for the best solution to keep my Mail, Contacts and Calendars in Sync.
Hardware
iMac, PC, MacBook, iPhone, iPad
Software
Lion, Hosted Exchange, IOS, iCloud
I want to use Mac and my office requires a PC, whats the best way to stay in sync. Ive been partially successful at trying to sync my Hosted Exchange account with Mail, Contacts and iCal but it seems inconsistant.
Can someone help me with the proper setting to get this to work?
OR
Do I need to load Outlook on my Mac and IOS devises?
OR
Is there another option?
I have searched the forums and havent found a good solution detailed. Hope to correct that here.
Thank you for your replies.

I do this currently. If you look at my profile, you'll see my equipment. I also have a PC at work I use part time (for accounting only) set up as well.
On the iPad and iPhone, set up your iCloud by going to Settings -> iCloud and entering your username and password. Choose to sync all.
Set up your Hosted Exchange by going to Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Add Account... Choose Exchange as the option and enter the info.
For iCloud on the Mac, click the Apple icon -> System Preferences -> iCloud. Then sign in.
For Exchange on the Mac, click the Apple icon -> System Preferences -> Mail, Contacts, & Calendars -> Microsoft Exchange and enter the info.
For iCloud on the PC, you must be running Outlook 2007 or 2010 and have downloaded the iCloud Control Panel. Sign in and choose to sync with Outlook.
For Exchange on the PC, use Outlook. Add the account...

Default Mail, Contacts, Calendars options

What are the default Mail, Contacts, Calendar options? Nephew was playing with phone and changed a bunch of settings. Curious what are the default settings since I liked it the way it was.

http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=MobileMe/Account/en/acct21675.html
The contacts didn't seem to work for me. I'm syncing mine via iTunes still. The rest works well.
(That link was under setup and access on http://www.apple.com/support/mobileme/ )

Ios 5.0 crash on preferences mail, contacts, calendar

I hava a Iphone4 and have upgraded to IOS 5.0. Since then when selecting prefereces>Mail,Contacts, Calendars the Preferences Screen crashes. Result: I cant change email preferences anymore... any Ideas what to do?

this worked for me: (thanks to @fortbailey!)
(1) If your iPad/phone is syncing contacts with iCloud, turn it off. In Settings on your iPad/phone, Mail,Contacts,Calendars, Accounts, iCloud, turn off Contacts.
(2) sync your iPad/phone to iTunes.
(3) now select the ‘Info’ tab in iTunes for your iPad/iPhone. Ensure that ‘Sync Address Book Contacts’ is ticked. (You can revert to syncing with iCloud later, after this process is complete.)
(4) scroll to the very bottom section of the Info tab. Where it says ‘Replace information on this iPad/iPhone’, select ‘Contacts’.
(5) Sync again.
Now check Calendars on iPad/iPhone, this process ‘fixes’ the information of birth dates and they should now appear correctly.

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

Mail Contacts Calendars question ios5

in mail, contacts, calendars in the new ios5 there is a tab that says My Info. however it is not my name and it can be any random contact (ie: Mom) what is this about and how can i change it to my name?
thx.

Try double clicking the home button. This should bring up a single row of apps. Hold down on one of them until they all start to wiggle with the little red circle with a minus in it. Find the mail and contacts apps and tap on those red circles. It's kind of a force quit for the app. Then try to reopen your mail and see if it'll let you in.
You can also look up on the right of this screen and see if there's any answers in the 'more like this' box.

Have you attempted a restore?

Trying to limit number of emails showing but when I go to "mail, contacts, calendars", "show" doesn't appear as an option. What now?

Suddenly I have over 300 emails appearing on my ipad2. I know you are supposed to be able to change that by going to "Mail, Contacts, Calendars", then select "Show". Well, when I do that, "Show" doesn't appear as an option. Any thoughts on how I get "Show" back?

Tap the blue + sign in the upper right corner of the Safari toolbar to open a new tab. Then look in the lower left portion of the screen for the word "Private". Tap that to turn off private browsing.

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.

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.

Cannot Connect to Google Calendar in Mail, Contacts & Calendars preferences

I recently obtained a new Mac and am playing with Mountain Lion for the first time. I'm trying to add my Google Apps (custom domain, not @gmail.com) account to the Mail, Contacts & Calendars control panel. I was able to add Mail, Messages, and Notes without any issues, but it's refusing to connect to Calendars & Reminders. When I attempting connecting, it gives me an error...
A secure connection couldn't be established.
Click “Continue” to continue creating the account. You can edit the account later in Calendar preferences if necessary.
So I click "Continue" to... well, continue. Eventually, I've given this error:
There was a problem setting up the account.
Calendar couldn't discover the account settings for the CalDAV server “google.com”.
Just out of curiousity, I went into the Calendar app to directly add my Google account. Doing so also gives me an error:
Server with Secure Communication Unavailable
Your calendar account isn't on a server that can receive your calendar securely.
If a server isn't secure, others may be able to view your calendar information. To continue searching for your account on servers that may not be secure, and then set up the account if it's found, click Continue.
So I go ahead and click Continue. After waiting some more, I finally get the error...
No CalDAV servers were found for "google.com".
This message appears on the Account Settings sheet where you can add a CalDAV account. If I manually type in the Server Address here (https://www.google.com/calendar/dav/[email protected]/user//www.google.com/calendar/dav/[email protected]/user), Calendar claims it still cannot connect to a secure connection. This time, clicking Continue does add the account. (I'm assuming through a non-secure conncetion.) If I try to edit the Account Settings, it takes me to the Mail, Contacts, and Calendars control panel where Calendars & Reminders for my Google account is now selected.
I can only assume this is a weird bug with Mountain Lion, but needless to say, this is far from the "it just works" mentality I've been use to.
This was not an issue with iCal on Snow Leopard, which is what I'm coming from.

I was having similar issues and thought I would put down what solved my problem.
In "Mail, Contacts & Calendars" I didn't choose "Gmail" I used "Add Oter Account…" as previously mentiond.
Then I chose "Add a CalDav account"
Under User Name: I entered my entire gmail address
Under Password: I entered a new "Application Password" key as generated by Googles two step verification process.
Under Server Address: I tried to use just "google.com" and "www.google.com" neither of these worked - only errors. So I used the address as listed on Google Calender when clicking on settings for my main calendar. There is a link that will give you your calendars private address. I shortened it to:
www.google.com/calendar/ical/your_gmail_address_goes_here
Then it worked immediately!

Changing Mail, contacts, calendars name field

hello probable something simple but how do i permanently change the Name Field in the "Mail, contacts, calendars" setup.
I press details to enter my own but each time i do the name field is over-written with a previous owner or user of the mac.
Until this is complete i cannot sync contacts and calendars as i want to, using OS X Mountain LIon.

Go to System Preferences > iCloud
Sign out of the current Apple ID
Sign in with your ID.
System Preferences > Users & Groups
Change name for current User.
However, I HIGHLY suggest that you create a new User and move all your data to the new User or do an erase and install.
1) Move to a new User. See directions here:
Move your data to a new User or a new Mavericks partition**
2) Backup your data to an external drive using clone software. While booted from the clone erase the internal drive and reinstall OS X.
**(Fair disclosure: NeedHelp4Mac is my site. I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link.)
Both of these applications can be used to create a clone.
SuperDuper! http://www.shirt-pocket.com/

You will need an external drive to create the clone unless your internal drive is large enough to create a second partition large enough to hold all your data.

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 ... ?

Mail contacts calendars option freezes in settings list

For no reason whatsoever, my Exchange Server mail stopped syncing with my iPad2 yesterday. When I go to Settings, "Mail Contacts Calendars", the line highlights but then just freezes right there and I can never get into those settings (eventually the iPad just takes me back the home screen). I did a soft reset, then a hard reset with restore (same problem), and now I am doing a hard reset with no restore (basically wiping the unit clean, which is such a pain in the a$$ to get all of my apps back into the appropriate folders that I've created). Any reason why this happened? Any way to fix it in the future? I have an iPhone 3GS and the mail was still working fine with it. No changes were made on the server or on the iPad2 (I own the company and know that no one did any changes yesterday). It happened just out of the blue. Thoughts? Thanks.

I have been experiencing some major sync/push problems with mail, contacts and calendar between my Mac, iphone and ipad for over a month now. The problems are still being investigated by Apples technicians.
However, a couple of days ago I set up a new iCloud account, whilst my original one is currently being investigated and is practically useless.
The new iCloud account works fine. All devices sync properly and I can create, edit and delete entries from all devices.
This is clearly an iCloud issue. I was initially suspected of causing the problem. I am now in the clear. If your email is of no consequence I suggest setting up a new iCloud account. Mine is important so I am waiting for Apple to reset my original iCloud account so that I can use it again.
Since setting up the new account my ipad works fine and no longer freezes in settings.
Result. Hope it works for you.
