What's going on with mail, adress book and the iCloud in Mt.Lion?

I am having troubles here since updating to Mt.Lion that are quiet annoying. Mail is not able to read adresses anymore from adress book. Usually if I type in a letter in the adress line, if would show me the adresses starting with this letter. Not anymore... just an annoying spinning wheel.
I remember that I said "YES" when iCloud asked me, if I want to put my adresses in the iCloud right after the update to Mountain Lion. Maybe that was a mistake. But even after putting back all adresses in "local" it doesn't work. 
Any ideas? Anyone with same experinces?
Thanks for your help.

Here is the latest update from Apple for anyone who is interested:
FWIW, the percentage shown has increased since yesterday.
My totally wild guess is that they are doing some sort of server overhaul ahead of the announcements everyone is waiting for today. All I will say is that I am glad I don't rely on it.

  • What is going on with CBS Channel 2 and 502

    What is going on with CBS Channel 2 and 502?   The audio went out mid-day.  When it came back the picture is now a postage stamp?  I called and was told Verizon is having trouble with CBS.  It is now  9 hours latter and the picture is still a postge stamp? (5.1 AC3 digital )
    Any fix soon? 
    Thanks

    You didn't identify where you are.  Channel 502 (WCBS in NY) was fine when I checked in VHO 5.
    Also did you try a STB In-home-agent fix, set top box auto correct?

    Hi
    A. iMovie'08 to 11 are not the tools of choice if one aim to do a DVD as they all discard the quality of the picture by discarding every second line in it. NO way around this due to that it happens between Event's and Project's so as soon as it is being edited - Quality is lost.
    B. I use iMovie HD6 or FinalCut
    C. if iM'08 to 11 is a must - THEN DO NOT - Share to iDVD - BUT - "Share to Media Browser" and as Large (or ev. Medium)
    THEN DO - Save as a DiskImage and see that this plays OK and ALL SOUND
    D. if added audio from iTunes - then instead in iTunes - Collect all needed Audio into a NEW PlayList then BURN this as an Audio-CD (.aiff - NOT .mp3 or other) - Then use the Files on this CD in Your Movie Project's (I do)
    E. I only use .aiff audio - 48kHz 16-bit (miniDV tape Camera) or 44.1kHz Audio CD - NEVER .mp3 or .wma or other file format - ALL is converted first into .aiff - ALWAYS ! - I have very few problem with Audio in my projects in iMovie or FinalCut !

  • TS4363 I have upgraded to Mountain Lion 10.8.2 with Mail 6.2 and the "Use Autodiscovery Service" checkbox can't be found. Any ideas?

    I have upgraded to Mountain Lion 10.8.2 with Mail 6.2 and the "Use Autodiscovery Service" checkbox can't be found in Preferences. Any ideas?
    Cannot connect to Hover mail server unless I login to my webmail and then the messages magically load in Mail and then it goes offline again.

    Let it go... these DL's take forever, depending on the spped of your connection and the traffic on the servers.
    If by morning it is still sitting there restart and the DL should pick up from where it left off.

  • What's going on with Mail this morning?

    Is anyone else having problems accessing Mail? I can't access it on iCloud.com or my iPhone. (Not at home to check my laptop.) My internet connection is not the issue; that's working fine on my work computer and on my phone. I'm not getting any password error messages. On my iPhone I'm not getting any error messages, but nothing happens and email won't come in. On iCloud, I get the following error message: "Cannot load Mail. Help Apple improve iCloud by reporting this problem." No problems accessing my Calendar or Contacts, just Mail. Any suggestions on things I can do to fix it, or is this an Apple issue with servers or something?

  • ICal, Mail, Adress book and more crashes upon launch

    This morning I tried to open iCal, it crashed immedialtly. A window opened asking me to restore my window. Did'nt have time to click yes, the app is gone.
    I trashed preferences and plists, restart computer, no amelioration.
    Then tried to open Mail after restard and it does the same thing (it was working fine before retart). It offered me to retore window then it closed.
    Same with Adress Book.
    Then I opened my system preferences, click on Mail, contacts and calendar, System prefs crashes.
    Tried to open iCloud in syst. prefs, it also crashed (all other items in syst. prefs do not crash).
    Repaired permissions (just in case) but everything still crashes.
    I have no clue to what to do next... can someone help me with this?
    Thank's

    Create a new User go to System Preferences > Users & Groups > "+" (make it an admin acct) and test the apps in this new account, if they work the problem is isolated to your User and not systemwide.
    If the issue is limited to your user account Did he have you try try starting up in Safe Mode and test.
    (It will take more time to startup in Safe Mode because it runs a directory check.)
    If your apps functions correctly that way, go to System Preferences >> Accounts >> Login Items, and remove them. Boot normally and test. If not Copy & paste this is your "Go" menu hold the option key and choose Library
    Then go to/Contextual Menu Items and move whatever is there to the Desktop. Then do the same with /Library/Contextual Menu Items. Lastly, moveUsers/yourname/Library/Fonts to your desktop and restarting.
    Log out/in or restart, if that sorts it start putting items back one at a time until you find the culprit.

  • What is going on with firefox? Off and on during the last week there are problems.

    Ever since I downloaded the new firefox I keep getting a message saying "oops there is a problem"
    What is going on?

    Hi there harely95,
    I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    Issue not resolved
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
    Contact Apple Support.

  • What's going on with my wireless keyboard and mouse power status?

    My iMac (Nov. 2009) came with the wireless keyboard and mouse. When the original batteries wore out, I started using rechargeable batteries and that has worked fine. This is Energizer recharger, not Apple's. I've used and recharged them for well over a year now. When my batteries are freshly recharged, my iMac tells me I have something like 75% charge.
    Earlier this week I'm being told that the batteries have 100% charge. They've never been 100% charged, even when they were new. I haven't charged the batteries for several weeks either when suddenly I supposedly have 100% charge.
    What's going on?

    This is a change that occurred with the 10.6.7 update. Everyone suddenly has 100% charge when other tools report less. Either it's a bug or they adjusted the scale by which it's measured. Some users report that the percentage starts to decrease after the battery is more depleted.
    There's a widget you can use in dashboard in the mean time. Located here:
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/status/mightymonitor.html
    We'll wait and see if this is a bug or intentional.

  • Need help with Mail address book and calendar.

    Hello,
    I am a new Mac User. I just purchased my first MacBook. My goal is to switch totally over to Mac for both home and work. I was able to get the mail program to pull down my exchange mail, however it does not appear to have taken in my address book.
    My goal would be for my machine to totally sync up with my mail, and calendar the same way that my iPhone does. Is there a way to do this?
    If I can't get my contacts and calendar to "sync". I will not be able to use my Mac at work.
    Any help or assistance would be greatly appreciated.
    Regards,
    Jason

    I do not believe you can sync your data between Outlook and Address Book and iCal. You can transfer data using a third-party utility, Outlook2Mac. However, you could integrate with your Outlook account using Entourage, one of the Office 2008 applications. You would have to purchase Microsoft Office 2008.

  • What is going on with Flash Player 9 and sound?

    I'm getting really upset and fed up with this. No matter what
    I do I can't get sound with the Adobe Flash Player 9. My computer
    is working perfectly fine; there is nothing wrong with the sound on
    any other program that I use. There is some glitch with the current
    flash player that keeps me from playing any kind of sound. Either
    tell me where to find a patch for the player or tell me how to fix
    it.

    Please follow the instructions on the following two FAQs:
    Enabling Flash Player in Internet Explorer 9
    ActiveX Filtering in Internet Explorer 9
    Those usually help fix people up.

  • Please advise what might be wrong with my WIFI connection and the app store!

    When trying to download apps via the apple app store, it will take ages to pop up with the password box, and then will just time out eventually after giving the me "waiting" icon.
    When I disable wifi and connect over 3g the apps will download fine. It cant be anything wrong with the internet connection because my work iphone connects fine and downloads apps without problems (albeit on a diffrent ios version - mine is latest), this phone also goes through the same router.
    I've tried forgetting the network AND resetting the network settings i've even restored the entire phone via itunes to factory settings but to no avail - does anyone have any ideas at all - as i'm pulling my hair out!!
    P.S - One other thing to add is: once the app has been downloaded with 3g it will work flawlessly with the wifi connection on the phone, its purely just a download issue with the app store!!

  • Is anyone else having issues with mail not appearing on the iCloud server?

    My iCloud account is not accepting emails from trusted and regular colleagues. Does an IP address link into my iCloud account. It was suggested to me by another ISP that it does and it may be corrupted. I have never heard of this but at this point I am frantic. My livelihood depends on the internet and to not be receiving emails means I am not receiving checks. HELP... I have an iMac running on Lion (blech and I heard the newer are worse) and I have my macbookpro running on Snow Leopard which is the best running of my OS. My iPad is iOS 6 because my iPhone iOS 7 and that is NASTY as well.

    I'd also post on the iCloud forum, you can locate it by clicking https://discussions.apple.com/community/icloud

  • 2011 Macbook Pro suddenly says no space available on start-up disk (plenty available) and USB drawing too much power (only charging phone). What's going on with my computer? No longer able to charge my iPhone 5.

    Hi, all.
    Two days ago I was using my computer, a 2011 Macbook Pro, and suddenly got the error message reading "Your Mac OS X startup disk has no more space available for application memory. To avoid problems with your computer, quit any applications you are not using. Closing windows and removing files from your startup disk will also help."
    I was only using Google Chrome, nothing was running in the background, and I have 443 of 449.25 GB available (this is after clean-up I conducted after receiving the error message, but probably cleaned up less than 25 GB), so there should be no shortage of space. However, the message kept popping up and I deleted a few files and eventually it went away and hasn't reappeared.
    However, last night and then again this morning I have been getting the error message that my USB drive is pulling too much power and has been disable. All that was plugged in was my iPhone 5 on the charger and my computer is also on its charger, so I don't know why this would be an issue, either. I have always charged my phone this way and never had a problem until today.
    I haven't been able to charge my phone since. What's going on with my computer?

  • HT1338 What's going on with iCloud (MobileMe)?  I'm able to sign in here, but I can't access mail on my Macbook Pro, iPhone, or work computer.  I always get an authorization error (user-id or passwork wrong).  This has been going on for almost a week now.

    The single download means that you won't be able to redownload it from the store without paying, either on a computer's iTunes or an iOS device - it doesn't stop you from copying the audiobook to your other computers or syncing it to your iOS devices, you just can't redownload it. (I believe that they are all supplied to Apple by audible.com, so I assume that it's them requiring the one-time download.)
    You can download audiobooks on your computer's iTunes and sync them to iOS devices, you do not have to buy them directly on the device (if you do then you can copy them back to your computer's iTunes library by connecting the device and using the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases menu option on your computer's iTunes).
    What you are doing to sync them should work i.e.
    - connecting the iPad to your Mac
    - selecting the iPad on your Mac's iTunes
    - selecting its Books tab and selecting the audiobooks that you want to sync to the iPad and syncing/applying that selection.
    You should then get an audiobooks option in the Music app on your iPad. If they aren't appearing there  then do they show in Settings > General > Usage > Music on the device - if you have audiobooks on the iPad then they should be listed there under an 'audiobooks' heading.
    By 'restart the iPad' do you mean 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.
    You could also try closing its Music app via the iPad's taskbar : Force an app to close in iOS.
    And do a soft-reset and retry syncing.
    I assume that music and other items sync ok ?
