Unable to open Settings Mail, Contacts, Calendars

I'm unable to open Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars.  It just reverts back to the home page every time I click on it.  I've tried resetting everything, but I still have the same problem.

Thanks, Plimosoll.  I also finally got to the Apple shop where they were very helpful, but lost some of my backup because I don't fully understand the system yet.
I asked what the so-called Genius in the shop had done.  He told me he had done a DFU restore.  This is not explained in any of the documentation provided by Apple, but is easily found using Google.
It's slightly annoying, as I tried to get this information from the phone help.  I was told that as I bought the Ipad more than 90 days ago it would cost me GBP25 to answer my question.  In the time that the person explained this, albeit cleary and politely, she could have just told me to Google DFU restore.  Still, I suppose that is how Apple has made so much money.
Anyway this fix has opened up a whole new area for using my Ipad.

    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? 

  • 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.

  • System Settings - Mail Contacts Calendars - iCloud

    After switching to Mountain Lion, I have created a new Apple ID with @icloud.com domain. I try to set it in System Settings -> Mail Contacts Calendars -> iCloud and it works for Contacts , Calendars, Safari, Documents but not for Email. When clicking on the Email Icon the progress indicator is rotating and after few seconds an AlertView shows with message "Imposible to Activate Mail".
    Anyone has the same problem ?

  • Check SMTP SETTINGS:tap settings:mail, contacts, calendars: no respons, dead

    check SMTP SETTINGS (iPad1): tap settings: mail, contacts, calendars:  NO RESPONS! THE SCREEN FREEZES AND BLOCKS!!! I've aready done a hard reset but no actions when I tap settings: mail-contacts-calendars.  HELP !!

    Since two days ago, my battery indicator has been indicating 100% until the phone dies, which seems to be one of the symptoms you're describing.
    However, I don't use Push emails; my email client is configured to poll an imap server and has been that way since I got my phone over 6 months ago. To be on the safe side, I turned off Push anyway, but I'm still having the problem. Definitely 3.0 related as I've never had this problem before.
    Perhaps it's linked to an app? Personally I don't have a whole lot of them installed: Aurora Feint, fstream, twitterific, flixster, wikipanion, google earth, urbanspoon, STM Mobile, iDicto, Air Sharing, Facebook and Apple Remote. I've removed a few and will see how it goes.

  • Exchange Mail -  Settings Mail, Contacts, Calendars

    Hello. I am in Canada and have several email accounts set up here......Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars......
    I have my Telus set up as POP (I had to do a trick to avoid IMAP), 4 Gmail accounts and my iCloud account. They all work fine at home at other local Hot Spots.
    BUT for some reason when I am in the USA I can only receive mail most of the times but never am I able to send.
    Any one know why....and what is the fix for it?
    Thank You

    Having the same problem with mail on 4th gen iPod touch.
    There's a discussion going on over at the iPod forum on the same thing:
    http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1392
    Seems this is most likely a gmail SMTP problem with 3rd party mail clients, including Apple Mail and iPod, iPhone mail.
    Just browsed gmail forums and found this:

    Fingers crossed google are looking into it.

  • Settings Mail, Contacts, Calendars screen closes immediately? I have tried Restore and all software up to date... help!, Settings Mail, Contacts, Calendars screen closes immediately? I have tried Restore and all software up to date... help!

    When I go to Settings > 'Mail, Contacts, Calendars'  the screen closes immediately returning to the home screen? I have tried resetting the iphone - no change, I then restored the iphone completely - no change (all software up to date.) please help!

    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.

  • Settings - Mail,Contacts,Calendars - I just return to the home screen

    When I attempt to go to Settings - Mail,Contacts, Calendars, I just return immediately to the home screen
    I need to set a password on my email account - how do I go about this if I cannot get through Settings - Mail,Contacts,Calendars

    Problem alleviated by doing a factory restore.  This does seem like a sledgehammer to crack a nut.
    I really expected Apple software to be more robust than that.
    Thanks for all your suggestions

  • 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?

  • I cannot access my email options when in Settings/Mail, Contacts, Calendars

    When I go into Settings/Mail, Contacts, Calendars, all my mail accounts are greyed out and I cannot access them. Anyone else have this problem or know how to resolve it? Been going on for a month or so now.
    Thanks

    Well, you or someone had to enable restrictions. If you can't remember your restrictions passcode, you will have to restore your phone as a new device in iTunes to remove it. All data on your phone will be lost. Since the restrictions passcode is included in the iPhone backup, restoring from backup will merely restore the restrictions passcode.

  • My IPhone 4s will not let me edit my email accounts or add a new account; I can't click on them under settings - Mail,Contacts, Calendar

  • IPad 2 contacts will not open after IOS5, also Settings/Mail, Contacts, Calendar crashes out to home page?

    Hi,
    Upgraded new Ipad2 to IOS5.0.1.Unable to open Contacts.... closes instantly. Also unable to access Mail,Contacts, Calendars in Settings.
    Turned on iCloud and attempted to turn on Contacts (solution suggested elsewhere). Its asks if 'Merge Contacts'. Selecting 'Merge' crashes settings back to homepage.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    I have the same problem. This was a very expensive Christmas present to myself. I spent Christmas morning setting it up & updating the software only to find that clicking the “mail, contacts etc.” in settings sends me straight back to the home screen. Does anyone at Apple read these forums? Although I have been using computers for years, on a recommendation from an Apple user this was my first Apple purchase, at this rate it will be my last.What happens if "Restore" in iTunes is used?

  • Changing my info name in settings mail contacts calendars contacts

  • Settings - Mail, Contacts, Calendars

    When I go into Settings and select Mail, Contacts, Calendars the screen slides over but then it closes. I can not get to this feature. All the other under settings slide over to reveal its contents except for Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Can someone help me understand whats going on?

    You may need to do a "reset". You can do this by holding down the "Sleep and Home" buttons at the same time (and continue to hold them until you see the white Apple logo) then release the buttons. You will not lose anything on your phone. Let me know if this helps.

  • Can someone please help. I noticed that all my calendar events have completely disappeared :( I made sure that under settings "mail/contacts/calendars", that under sync it is "all events". Not working.

    Can someone please help. All calendar events have completely disappeared from my iphone. I tried troubleshooting. Made sure that in settings, the "mail/contacts/calendars", that under "sync" it was checked off "all events". But it was like that already. Nothing seems to be working. Are my events lost now? I'm stressing. Lol. Thank you.

    Check settings > iCloud > calendars.  Is it on or off?
