Help with Mobileme, iCloud, iPad, iPhone and MS Outlook 2010

Hello,
WHAT I HAVE NOW
I'm in a bit of mess and don't want to proceed until I can get some answers.  I have an iPad, iPhone and a PC (Windows 7).  I have a mobileme account also.  I also have iCloud Control Panel installed on my PC and recently bought MS Outlook 2010 to migrate from mobileme to iCloud and get this whole synching thing under control. Everything has been updated to the latest versions for iCloud.
I have an att.net email account (ran by Yahoo Pop3), live.com account, hotmail account, gmail account, mobileme account.  I have contacts in my most of these email accounts but there are many duplicates and info needs to be updated.  With iCloud and mobileme running, I have numerous calendars and can't get any of them synched.
WHAT I WANT
I would like to migrate from mobileme to iCloud and use the iCloud Control Panel and MS Outlook 2010 to synch my mail, contacts and calendars from my PC, iPhone 4s and iPad (version).  I only want ONE calendar and ONE contact list.  Can there be a MASTER contact list within Outlook 2010 instead of all of these contacts from various email accounts? If so, would I create a master contact list within Outlook 2010 and then go to the various web email programs and delete their contacts? How to I get these calendars under control with one Home calendar?
WHAT I HAVE DONE SO FAR
I started to migrate from mobileme to iCloud but stopped to install MS Outlook 2010 first.  I installed MS Outlook 2010 and got all of my email accounts imported even having to manually move the att.net (Yahoo Pop3) messages because the folders and emails within would not transfer from Windows Live Email to Outlook.  Currently having problems trying to get the contacts unduplicated and corrected but when I save a newly corrected contact, it disappears.  Are these contacts synching as I insert them and then disappearing?  Should I go offline to create correct this contact list?  What will happen when I add iCloud to the mix? Will I have to go back and correct all duplicates again? Can someone provide the order of these steps to take the least amount of time?
I know this is a lot but it's fairly complicated to me and I also have another person in my house that has a PC, iPad and iPhone for whom I have to do the same thing.  Trying to not waste time and do this the right way first. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I backed up everything and finally took the leap to migrate from mobileme to iCloud.  With a few glitches all seems to be working except that iCloud did not grab the updated and current Contact list from MS Outlook 2010 and seems to have an outdated contact list with only half the number of contacts.
Can someone help me get iCloud to grab the correct contact list out of MS Outlook 2010 so that it can be distributed to my iPad and iPhone also? Thanks!

  • Need help with wifi on iPad 2 and to some extent iPhone 4

    I have a few different wireless routers and no matter what I do or how I set them up, my wifi only iPad 2 has very erratic wifi speeds.
    I see the same thing but to a lesser degree on my wife's and my iPhone 4 (2 of them).
    I have a few year old Apple Airport Extreme and a brand new Cisco Linksys E3200.
    The Airport extreme has very little options, but on the E3200 I have tried all the different wifi options (mixed, G only, N only which I can't even connect too) and using both or just one of the dual bands.
    I am really at my wit's end here and two trips to the Apple store have yielded nothing.  First genius said to wipe the iPad 2 and set it up as a new device and the 2nd genius said buy a new router (which is why I purchased the E3200).
    Of course the apple store wifi it behaves flawlessly, but I suspect being an open network helps that...
    Anyway, my internet service is uVerse and I get wired Speedtests in the neighborhood of 10-12 Mbps, but on the iPad it never goes above 6 Mbps down.

    I have disabled QoS/WMM on the Linksys already...
    Thanks in advance

    No solutions anyone?
    I think I may have the same issues with my iPhone 4S running 5.0.1 too...

  • Stream DVD ISO's (with menus) to iPad, iPhone and such

    I have a collecton of DVD ISO's ripped with Ripit on my mac. I want to watch these on other devices (iPad, Apple TV, etc.)
    Does anyone have a solution other than converting them to flat video files (thus losing the menus and extra content)?

    Is it a movie DVD? To open a ISO image file, you need to run virtual drive to mount it first.
    I don't think iPad and iPhone would work with ISO since they don't have disc drive. Why not converting the ISO to SD/HD MP4 instead?

  • When trying to activate iCloud on iPhone and iPad I get "account not verified... check your email." Can't verify account on wither device

    when trying to activate iCloud on iPhone and iPad I get "account not verified... check your email." Can't verify account on either device.
    Can't verify device on website either.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Put in a request for another verification e-mail to be sent to you.
    Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
    Also check your Mail rules and filtering, the verification mail may be going to a junk folder or even being deleted altogether. You may also wish to contact your mail provider to see if their spam filters are removing the email before it gets to you.

  • TS3999 My Outlook Calender wont sync with iCloud/iPad/iPhone?

    My Outlook Calender wont sync with iCloud/iPad/iPhone? despite doing everything as per the support page. I keep on clicking the Add in but it wont "take"?
    It use to,  but no matter what I try nothing works. Using Windows 7. HELP!

    This step is not clear:
    "Open a secure website to see if you can access ports 80 and 443. Outlook requires access to port 443 to push and fetch updates to and from the iCloud Contacts servers."
    The link takes me to an Apple page but which has nothing to do with ports.  And there is nothing to explain what it is I am looking for, how to look for it, and how to change it if needed.
    Also, this step:
    "Open the iCloud Control Panel and make sure that you're signed in to the same iCloud account that you're using on your other supported devices."
    iCloud automatically set up a "[email protected]...." account for me so I see that one plus my original email used to open my Apple account.  And the apple products show my settings under both identities.
    Make sure the iCloud Outlook Add-in is active within Outlook
    This add-in is disabled because it doesn't allow Outlook to function properly.
    Thanks!

  • Only one of my earbuds on my bose headphones works with my ipad, iphone and macbook- if I hold them there the right earbud will work, but for the life of me, I can't get them to both work. Why is this? And is Apple doing anything about this?

    Only one of my earbuds on my bose headphones works with my ipad, iphone and macbook- if I hold them there the right earbud will work, but for the life of me, I can't get them to both work. Why is this? And is Apple doing anything about this? While Apple's headphones have (finally) admittedly gotten better of late, I still prefer the much more comfortable headphones & sound quality that Bose makes and that I spent the money for.

  • My Icloud on Iphone and ipad (7.0.4) stopped syncing to icloud on PC Outlook 2010

    I am not sure when this happened but I noticed that my notes, contacts, calenders , etc from my I-phone and I-pad all stopped synching through i-cloud to my Outlokk 2010.  I searched through the forum and seen some issues around this in 2011 with Outlook 2007 but nothig recent. 
    Can someone help?

    Hey there gronk49,
    It sounds like your Outlook is having issues syncing to iCloud. I recommend the troubleshooting steps from the article named:
    iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Calendar
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3999
    These steps will get you started, but there are additional steps to try if needed:
    Troubleshooting on Microsoft Windows (Microsoft Outlook)
    If you're having trouble with iCloud Calendar on a PC (with Outlook 2007 or later), try each of these steps, testing after each to see if the issue is resolved.
    Note: iCloud Control Panel does not support Outlook 2010 Personal Edition. When using iCloud Control Panel 2.0 and later, iCloud Calendar event descriptions in Outlook 2010 do not support text formatting (bold, italics, or underline), HTML, images, or attachments. The contextual menu (right-click) has also been disabled.
    Verify that you are using a Windows configuration supported by iCloud.
    Make sure that your computer is online. Attempt to view www.apple.com. If you can't connect to the Internet, your iCloud calendars and events will not update in Outlook. Learn about troubleshooting your Internet connection.
    Open a secure website to test if ports 80 and 443 are accessible. Outlook requires port 443 access to iCloud to push and fetch updates to and from the iCloud Calendar servers.
    Verify that your iCloud member name is entered into the iCloud Control Panel window. Learn about setting up iCloud on Windows.
    Close and reopen the iCloud Control Panel.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Regards,
    Sterling

  • I need help with a second hand iphone i purchased recently,i am having issues setting it up as it has is requesting for the icloud account that was used by the previous user

    i need help with a second hand iphone i purchased recently,i am having issues setting it up as it has is requesting for the icloud account that was used by the previous user

    Sorry.
    The iPhone is of no use until/unless the previous owner removes it from their account.
    You will need to find the prior owner or return the iPhone.

  • Only some of my photo's are syncing from iPhoto to my iPad, iPhone and Apple TV.

    Only some of my photo's are syncing from iPhoto to my iPad, iPhone and Apple TV.
    It may be my own fault due to learning Aperture and playing around with the locations of the Master Files.
    The thing I don't understand is that when in iPhoto all thumbnails of all photo's are able to be enlarged / edited etc. When a thumbnail is clicked on there is no gray triangle with an exclamation mark indicating that the link to the original photo can't be found. I would have thought this was ok for syncing to take place.
    When trying to sync through iTunes to my iPad for example (after some photo's have been synced) a window comes up saying "Some of your photos, including the photo “_MG_3820.jpg”, were not copied to the iPad “Mark Harlen’s iPad” because they cannot be displayed on your iPad".
    I thought this may be due to lack of memory space but my Apple TV (which has the same issue but not the same warning window) has over over 100 free GB's so that can't be it.
    When I did a test and re imported one photo that wasn't being synced to my other devices, that photo consequently was then synced so maybe it has something to do with the path through iPhoto to the original files.
    Is there any way I can re establish these links with out having to create an entire new iPhoto library from the originals (I have a lot of albums and have done a lot of editing etc and don't and want to have to do it all again).
    I look forward to you help and advice
    Mark

    Thanks for the advice but it didn't seem to work
    I've decided to try ditching iPhoto and orgainising, syncing my photo's to all devices from Aperture
    I have so far imported over 1200 photo's (relocating and renaming the master files as well) and find that when syncing through iTunes only 209 photo's are listed. The Projects/Albums are there but some indicate that there are 0 photo's in them when I know other wise (at least according to whats happing in Aperture)
    I'm starting to suspect it may be a computer problem
    Any thoughts?
    Regards
    Mark
    PS: Just after posting this I restarted my computer, went into iTunes and my Apple TV started to sync. It was now syncing 854 photo's not 209 as before.

  • My Airport wireless is working for my two MacBook Pros and my daughter's iPod, but our iPad, Iphone and other iPod all say they need to set up an Airport Base Station but do not have the proper software.  I'm not sure what to do to remedy this situation.

    My Airport wireless is working for my two MacBook Pros and my daughter's iPod, but our iPad, Iphone and other iPod all say they need to set up an Airport Base Station but do not have the proper software.  I'm not sure what to do to remedy this situation.

    This might sound like a silly question, but are you sure the iOS devices (iPhone, iPad, iPod touch etc.) are still trying to connect to the same network from your own Airport router, as the MacBook Pros are? If you tap Settings on them, is the network name next to where it says Wi-Fi, the right one?
    I've got a weird feeling that either in the past couple of days, a neighbour got an Airport device and hasn't set it up yet (causing your iOS devices to try to help), or that perhaps there's an issue with your Airport router and they're noticing it and trying to help out, while for whatever reason, Airport Utility isn't opening itself on the MacBook Pros like it normally should if there's a problem.
    If you open Airport Utility on one of the MacBook Pros, does it report any problems with your Airport device, and can you view/edit the settings on it?

  • I have my ipad, iphone, and macbook pro all synced together.  I receive all my emails on the macbook and iphone just fine, but don't receive all emails on my ipad.  Some go to Trash because it says they're improperly formatted.  What gives?

    I have my ipad, iphone, and macbook pro all synced together, which generally works fine.  I receive all emails from senders in my address book in my Macbook Pro and iPhone, but some end up in Trash on my iPad, with the message, "This message cannot be displayed because of the way it is formatted.  Ask the sender to send it again using a different format or email program.  text/plain"  They appear to be mainly from competing platforms, android, etc.  Is there a workaround for this problem?
    Thanks-

    Imap: google, hotmail, and more including icloud.
    If you want to use multiple devices - move to imap, I would even say "exchange", but Google does not support free exchange anymore, since January of that year. So Ironically  Icloud or Hotmail would be my choices right now.
    To find out more about what happens to you, search on Google "difference between pop and imap"

  • Permanent photo backup - iCloud, iPad, iPhone

    Hello.
    I just purchased 200GB plan on iCloud.
    I thought it would be the easiest way to backup the photos on my iPad Air and iPhone 5.
    Now while browsing trough some tutorials on the web - every site is saying that iCloud is not a photo backup solution - it only stores 1000 photos and deletes them after 30 days.
    Is this true? Then why would anybody need so large iCloud plans?
    Thanks.

    What you're referring to is Photo Stream, which only stored 1000 of the most recent photos.   With iCloud Photo Library, you can now permanently store your photos and videos on iCloud and sync them across devices.  It's still in BETA though, so it has some quirks and limitations.  With iOS 8.1, you can go into your iCloud settings and enable it.  If you do that, it will replace your camera roll with the iCloud Photo Library and begin uploading ALL of your photos and videos to iCloud. All of these uploads will count towards your photo storage plan, but they will be permanent, as opposed to Photo Stream.  As well as syncing across devices, you can also view them on the web at iCloud.com.   However, the Mac Photos app will not come out until some time in 2015, so right now there are limitations to what you can do with your photos.
