Why cant I enter access contacts or mail settings on my ipod touch

Just got a new ipod touch and after the initial connection and loading itunes and iOS 5.0.1 I cannot access or add contacts or mail settings. What do I do to fix this?

If I go to contacts for a split second the + sign is there and then it goes. Also on Mail,Contacts, Calendars in Settings opens and then in a split second goes back to desk top. As I lost my earlier ipod touch had to change password to gmail but cant change it on my ipod as  cant get to settings! Help please?

  • TS3988 I cannot access my e-mail settings on my iPad

    I can no longer access my e-mail settings or add additional accounts on my 3rd gen IPad.  The mail works fine (send and recieve).  I can see the names of all three accounts and my subscribed calendars.... but they are all subdued.  tapping dragging and shaking all seem to do nothing but frustrate me more.  I have tried to access them, on WIFI, on Cellular and even offline in Airplane mode without success.  I have tried re-booting and connecting to iTunes and trying without any luck.  I am hoping for a simple setting solution, but have had no luck with the Apple support web page.  I welcome anything short of erasing my iPad.

    My post led me to similar questions.  The solution was found in an unrelated problem when a forum member suggested going to "General" and then "Restrictions".  There I found"Accounts" and it was set to "Don't allow changes".  A simple click and I was up and running.  I was going to delete, but hope the post will help another.

    Just tried my online banking, the page doesn't always load and it won't show my account names or passwords.
    It looks like none of my log in information for any sites I use often will show in Firefox.
    I can't even access my e-mail to see if I'm getting answers to this problem.

    Turn OFF the restriction to allow changes to accounts you've set in Settings > General > Restrictions.

  • The contacts and calendar data on my iPod touch will not sync with my Mac

    I have a 2nd generation ipod touch, and an iMac running iTunes 8.2.1.
    I have been away from my mac for a few months and have entered a lot of contact and calendar info into my ipod touch.
    Now, when I try to sync the contacts and calendar data on my ipod touch with my mac, the data will not sync to my mac.
    Similarly, for the last couple months, the contact and calendar data on my ipod touch has not been able to sync with my mobileme account.
    I cannot afford to lose the contact and calendar data on my ipod touch.
    Can anyone kindly inform me how to fix this syncing problem without losing such data?

    why does the apple logo randomly pop up on my new ipod touch 5g?????

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:

    i cant change my email under settings on my ipod touch it wont even let me click on it any ideas?

    To get reid of the Restrictions passcoe you have to restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod.  You should do that anyway since the apps and music (if any) on the iPod do not belong to you.  They did not transfer with the purchase of the iPod hardware.

  • Can I overwrite contacts in Address book with my iPod Touch contacts?

    I'm an idiot - I somehow managed to delete ALL of my contacts in Address book. I don't use Time Machine (not enough external HD space) so I can't restore that way.
    I did happen to sync my iPod Touch shortly before I deleted everything so my contacts are fine there. Short of re-typing everything into Address Book, is there a way I can tell iTunes to overwrite my contacts with the ones from the iPod touch?
    It's the only place I have my contacts - and because I enabled Google sync, it deleted all of my Google contacts too! HELP!!

    If you sync, the contacts will be copied back into Address Book on your Mac. You should get an error message that pops from iSync (a warning about changing more than 5% of your data), which you should Allow.
    In case you're worried, I have tested this (backed up my address book, then deleted the contents, then synced and my contacts were restored from my IPT).
    Hope this helps...
