Can't access any email accounts in iPhone 4s. In Settings/Mail,Contacts,Calendars all my accounts including iCloud are grayed out
Also consider... Trying This...
Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... (But can take Longer..)
Release the Buttons...

May 7, 2014 9:06 PM in response to AnaMusicby jell33bean,Thanks AnaMusic; I did try 'reset' but this did not correct the problem. I do have 'restrictions' set but can't remember my passcode to check/change restrictions. I'm afraid I'll have to do a restore

To remove a forgotten Restrictions passcode you will need to either...
1) Restore the Device as New... See Section 6 here...
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
OR...
2) From a Backup created Before the Restrictions Code was set....

May 7, 2014 9:13 PM in response to AnaMusicby jell33bean,Yes, like a restore point on a PC. I will probably have to do that. I'm on my 8th passcode attempt; how many do you get and what will happen if I keep guessing wrong?

About 10 attempts... then you will need to use Recovery Mode > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

May 7, 2014 9:23 PM in response to AnaMusicby jell33bean,Thanks very much; my problem with restoring will be losing my contacts. I don't think my contacts have been backing up. I used 'iDrive Online' app to back up after iTunes was not finding contacts but the app also did not find my contacts to back up.

May 7, 2014 9:40 PM in response to AnaMusicby jell33bean,I was able to do iCloud back up but cannot now because iCloud is also grayed out in settings, just as my email. I have iTunes back up but I'm not sure any of my contacts have been backed up anywhere. Thanks again for your help.
