Why is iCloud sync for Mail, Contacts and Calendar not in effect after Apple repair?

... and how to restore it on my iMac? My other 2 devices, MBook and iPhone sync fine.
Thanks a lot,
Raphael

Hi treetopguy2028,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on exactly what you are referring to when you say that iMessages does not sync. If you are talking about just iMessages proper (iMessage chat messages to other Mac/iOS users, not including SMS/MMS text messages from non-iOS phones), you may want to check that your Apple ID and phone number are correctly linked and configured, as outlined in the following article under the section labeled Use iMessage and FaceTime with multiple devices:
iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage - Apple Support
If you are referring to syncing all messages in iMessage, including SMS/MMS text messages, that would be a function of the new Continuity feature in iOS 8. In that case, this article may be more helpful (Note: Continuity requires iOS 8 on your devices and Yosemite on your Mac):
Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity - Apple Support

  • I'm using the icloud for my contacts and calendar. My contacts will not update when I sync my Ipad or Iphone with Itunes. Isn't the Icloud supposed to push to all devices

    I'm using Icloud for my contacts and calendar. The contacts on the Icloud will not sync updated to my Iphone and Ipad. My calendar does sync correctly. Why is this happening?

    Syncing contacts and calendar events over the air with an iCloud account has nothing to do with syncing with iTunes.
    On your iPhone go to Settings > iCloud.
    If Contacts is turned on for over the air syncing, turn it off. A warning message and prompt will be provided asking about what to do with the previously synced contacts with iCloud. Select Delete from iPhone. After all contacts are deleted from your iPhone, turn Contacts back on for over the air syncing. After all contacts are downloaded, confirm the contacts on your iPhone match your online contacts with iCloud.
    If so, repeat this with your iPad.

  • Why does the iCloud Control Panel say "Install Outlook to use Mail, Contacts, and Calendars?"

    I've just successfully installed the iCloud Control Panel on my PC (runs with Vista). Why does the iCloud Control Panel say "Install Outlook to use Mail, Contacts, and Calendars?" The Bookmarks (with Safari) and Photo Stream options are active, but the Mail (with Outlook), Contacts (with Outlook),and Calendars and Tasks (with Outlook) are not. I'm using Office Outlook 2007. I used to be able to synch my iPhone with my PC's Outlook through iTunes without any problems. Any help would be appreciated.

    I meant to say when in the control panel!

  • I had a MobileMe account before... after upgrading to iOS 5, should I keep my account info under iCloud (settings) AND under mail, contacts and calendars (in Settings as well) or only keep the info under the new iCloud setting section?

    That's not the correct port. It should be 993 for incoming.
    If you signed into iCloud from the System Preferences, it should automatically create the iCloud account for you in Mail. Sounds like it is an account you already had set up for MMe in Mail.
    Open Mail preferences, open the Accounts tab, disable that account in the advanced pane.
    Open Sys Prefs, open the iCloud tab, and sign out of iCloud. Then sign back in and see if a new iCloud account is automatically created.

  • Is there a way to sync my blackberry contacts and calendar with my iPad using iCloud?

    I still use my blackberry and am not giving it up so quickly...but in the months Ive been using my iPad it has definitely become an alternative at times.
    Therefore is there a way tp sync my Blackberry contacts and calendar with my iPad using iCloud?

    You three would do better to sync to google directly.  Google has a blackberry app that will allow you to sync your contacts and calendars.  The app isn't perfect, but it works reasonably well, especially if you're just using one calendar to sync.
    Then there's plenty of ways to sync those to your iPad using Google, including Exchange, or simply adding it as a google account.
    As for iCloud, there really isn't any supported or unsupported method to do what you're trying to do, at least at this time.  If there is, it would definitely be a hack and I would be wary of risking your contact or calendar data on it..

  • Mail, Contacts and Calendars in Settings crashes; Contacts app is blank

    First issue - since upgrading my iPad2 to iOS5, the Mail, Contacts and Calendars in Settings crashes. All other options in Settings are fine - only issues is with Mail, Contacts and Calenders crashing.
    Second issue - I am using iCloud to sync contacts, calendars, reminders, bookmarks. Everything (except Contacts) sync perfectly between my Mac (home), Win7 PC Outlook (work) and iCloud, but I am unable to see the contact data on the iPad. When I open the Contacts app I get the 2 page layout but it is blank with no data, no buttons, no groups and no formatting. After sitting at this blank view for a few seconds it crashes to the Home screen. I know the contact data is in the iPad as contacts can be found through Message, Mail and through the iPad Search. It has not however synced with any changed data.
    I have performed a hard reset numerous times, and restored the iPad. I have manually closed the Contacts and Settings apps through the task bar. I have also attempted to manually sync the contact data via USB with my Mac, but Contacts are still out of sync and crashes on launch.
    Any advice or solutions appreciated.

    Hi UTNick
    Seems like there is a few dramas with syncing through iCloud at the moement - hopefully Apple get this sorted with an update ASAP. Im using Outlook 2010 and didnt have any worries at that end, all the unsynced data and crashing was on the iPad. Good lesson in all this, make sure backups are in place - thanksfully I didnt lose any data either.
    I managed to fix my sync problems and crashing Settings. Not sure what the specific solution was but it involved -
    Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings
    Reset iPad to factory and then restore from back-up
    Turned off iCloud
    Reset my Apple id password
    Backed up all my contacts from Mac Contacts and then reimported them
    Synced my iPad through iTunes, syncing the contacts (with the option 'Replace everything on the iPad')
    Re-enbaled iCloud sync on the iPad
    The Mail, Contacts and Calendars panel in Settings no longer crashes, and all my data is again syncing perfectly across the Win7 Outlook 2010, the Mac Contacts app and the iPad Contacts app.
    It felt like a bit of a black-magic solution, and I'm still not sure what the underlying cause of my issues was. Fingers crossed it all hangs together until the next iOS update.
    Good luck!

  • Difference between Accounts in Address Book and iCal vs Mail, Contacts and Calendars Accounts?

    Trying to wrap my head around iCloud's capabilites right now.
    In System Prefs, there is the Mail, Contacts and Calendars setting. In there, I can set up syncing with contacts and calendars via a Google account there. However, when I open up iCal (aka calendars) and Address Book (aka contacts), they ALSO have their own seemingly independent syncing options.
    I'd ideally like to keep a copy of my contacts and calendars synced through Google and iCloud.
    What is the optimal way to do this?
    Thanks in advance...

    A) Contacts)
    1. Open www.icloud.com
    2. Open Contacts
    3. Mark All Contacts > CMD + A
    4. Click on the small icon in the lower left corner
    5. Choose Export vCard...
    6. Open your "Address Book" on your Mac and choose "File > Import"
    B) Calendar)
    At the moment there is no option to download/export all the data, but you could share the calendar back to your Mac by opening the www.icloud.com website, then...
    2. Open Calendar
    3. Click the samll "Share" button behind the name of every calendar and share it with your account.
    or
    Add your wife's account just temporary on your Mac (Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account), then
    2. Open "Calendar" on your Mac
    3. Wait until it finished synchronizing all the of her events
    3. Mark the Calendar by clicking on the name of your wife's calendar
    4. Open the menu "File > Export" + safe the file on your desktop
    5. Delete your wife's account again in Settings
    6. Open the calendar again
    7. Open the menu "File > Import" + choose the file from your desktop
    8. Choose your preferred calendar

  • 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/...

  • Best way to move Mail, Contacts, and Calendars

    I'm adding an additional server to my network to distribute some of my services and I would like to move the mail, contacts, and calendar services to this new server. It will be a ML machine running 10.8.5 with Server 2.2.1. I have these services already running on another server also running ML 10.8.5 and server 2.2.1.
    What's the best way to move the data between these two machines? Any suggestion are greatly appreciated!

    Mail: mailboxes from /Library/Server/Mail/Data/mail can be moved using command line
    - Note the correspondence between mailbox folder name(hexadecimal) and user name, can be extracted using Directory tool)
    - Also if u want to have the same username - hexa key maybe you should export the OD. Personally I would just rename old folder to new hexa key)
    - Do not forget to also check(mimic) the folder group/owner rights
    Calendar&Contacts: Use Export and Import.
    I honestly think this are the best ways (fast&clean).
    Also I think they are safe, mail 100% is transferred and for Calendar&Contacts I am not aware of any data that can be lost during export-import.
    (of course you can also replicate your server using DiskUtility create new image, and then deactivate unwanted services)

  • Syncing iOS 7 contacts and calendars to Gmail

    I am wondering if anyone can tell me what settings to adjust, to have my current iPhone contacts and calendar inputs added to my Gmail account online.
    Currently, I have gone to Settings > Mail, Contact, Calendars > Gmail > and i have the Mail, Contacts and Calendars selected.  But I do not see any of the contacts or calendar entries in my Gmail account online, via my computer.
    This will all be done an a Windows computer.
    Any help would be much appreciated. 
    Thank you in advance.  Any suggestions of third party apps to get this done, free or paid, would be appreciated as well. 

    Hey derpointer,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Thanks for the question.
    Follow the steps in this KB article to setup wireless calendar and contact synchronization with the BlackBerry PlayBook: www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB30052
    Unfortunately wired synchronization is not available.
    Let me know if you have any more questions.
