Selecting Icloud And

Registered
The 12-core is the "home base" for my family's Calendars to our iPhones, iPads, laptops and eventually the soon-to-arrive Mac Mini. Recently, Calendar on the 12-core hasn't been updating through iCloud (but the other devices have). When I try to go into iCloud or Mail, Contacts & Calendars in the 12-core's System Preferences, System Preferences crashes. When I check the Console what I get is:

So far I've tried:
• Repair disk permissions with OS X Disk Utility
• Repair disk permissions with Tech Tool Pro 6.0.8
• Reinstall OS Mountain Lion from saved source (10.8.2 & then Software Update to 10.8.5)

The account info is missing for something; either for the whole iCloud account, or for Notes part of it.

Can you re-enter your iCloud account details and password in System Preferences please? That may force it to have the correct details.

And if it's still happening, something has also wrong permissions. At least your Notes database on iCloud or on your local drive.
 
Is there a place other than System Preferences > iCloud that I can re-enter my account details? When I try to select iCloud or Mail, Contacts & Calendars in the 12-core's System Preferences, System Preferences crashes.

I'm pretty sure this is only a problem on the local drive because everything else (including logging in to iCloud via a browser) works fine.

Thanks.
 
I have App Store and iTunes, and can make purchases without a problem. I don't use Mail, I just log onto a browser for that. Usually, if Mail gets clicked on by accident or if it's activated by Safari, Mail usded to just open up with a new message that I'd just delete and close the app. Since you've mentioned it, I opened Mail and it gives me the "Welcome" screen and prompts me to go through the setup. I'm reluctant to go through the process because I'm not sure of how the POP thing works and I don't want mail GBs of mail content downloaded on this computer.
 
If only Mail was more user-friendly in that aspect.
What happens when you open Notes?

Can you also copy from Console (/Applications/Utilities) the logs from when System Preferences crash when you go to iCloud settings?
If we can find why Sys Prefs crash and fix that then maybe the issue will stop from happening.
App Store and iTunes Store accounts are separate from iCloud account.

Did you do the repair disk permissions thing with DU while you were in OS X (or in single-user mode)?
