Beware: icloud control panel DOES NOT WORK for icloud email
Opposing evidence is welcome. Please comment.
After dozens of hours, emails and chat sessions with both MS and Apple tech support (the latter escalated as high as it could go - "after this we have to refer you to engineering"), I was finally told by Apple Senior Advisor Ciara Ferguson that icloud control panel does not properly sync icloud mail with Outlook 365 (Outlook 2013). After several months of working on dual systems I discovered that many (but not all) changes to folder names and filing of emails in various folders made in Outlook were not reflected on icloud and vice versa. Ms. Ferguson has stated that icloud control panel "works better with calendar and contacts." Obviously, this non-committal statement is grossly insufficient. It either works or it doesn't. It doesn't.
Allegedly, icloud control panel does work to sync other email (the example of an outlook.com email address was given) into apple devices. This doesn't sound right to me either, since one can just add any POP or IMAP or Exchange account into a Mac device, so why would one need icloud control panel to interface?
I remain stymied as to the actual purpose of icloud control panel, despite asking exactly that question of Ms. Ferguson on several occasions. The Apple literature and its own setup screens suggest that it will sync email, contacts, calendar and notes with MS Outlook, but as to email, that is apparently untrue.
I don't think so. I'd like to sync photostream from two iPhones with distinct Apple IDs on our PCs and I don't see a way to do it. It synced my wife's iPhone while she was logged in to iCloud control panel but not mine until I logged in (and disconnected her photostream PC syncing).

My icloud control panel does not enable the Photos check box. Cannot view photos on PC that are taken with iphone and ipad.
Hi Randers - thank you for the advice. I signed out of the account on all devices, however when I try to go into iCloud on the Mac to re-input my account details, I'm presented with the following error message:
'Could not load iCloud preference pane'. Is there something additional I'm meant to do to be able to load an iCloud account on the Mac? -
Downloaded icloud control panel to Win 7. Everything seems ok until you "apply" synching at the icloud control panel. Then you get an error message that says "icloud control panel did not install properly". Repairing in Windows control panel as suggested does not help. If you do not try to sync Outlook data (2010) then it seems to work just fine.
I was able to finally stop ITunes from crashing after many days of searching n restarting my computer many times.
a) First I went to this site ->http://forums.techarena.in/guides-tutorials/1119812.htm that showed me how to disable DPE. Please make sure that u have good virus...etc.. protection first before doing this. I have Avast Internet Security. RESTART UR COMPUTER..
b) I then uninstall ITunes by following this site ->http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923 RESTART UR COMPUTER..
c) I then downloaded a beta version of ITunes. I happen to download beta 7 before the final of 10.5 version came out. Installed it. After installing I click on it n it said somewhere along the line of "this ITune ver. expired" I checked in my Programs n Features n notice that QuickTime was installed w that beta version.
d) Go online n download the final version of ITunes ->http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ ...... After u finish dling install that. After that's done connect your IPod, IPhone...etc... n click on ITunes, it should sync all the way.
I was finally able to sync all thru the steps insteading of it crashing on me midway. Hopefully this will work for you. Good luck !

The link to iCloud control pannel does not work
The link to iCloud Control Panel for Windows is broken on this page:

ICloud Control Panel does not recognize Outlook
I installed the iCloud Control Panel but it doesn't seem to be recognizing Outlook. In the Control Panel header, it says "Install Outlook to use Mail, Contacts and Calendars. Outlook 2010 is installed and the iCloud Outlook Add-In is installed and running.
I have the same setup as sceloglaux (Win 7 64 bit Home, iPhone 3GS, Outlook 2010).
I tried a reboot, uninstall, reboot again, disable and close anything I can, then reinstall. Still the same problem.
Athough I'm not sure if I got this message before:
Outlook Setup Error
Your setup couldn't be started because of an unexpected error.
Clicking the report button brings up my profile dialog box, then I choose my profile and it just goes back to the error dialog. Try again does the same thing.
sceloglaux - it sounds like you got it working. Care to enlighten us on what steps you took?
Do I need to have an me.com e-mail account set up first? I don't want to sync e-mail, just calendar and contacts. I tried setting up e-mail in case that's the missing link, but I'm having trouble with that as well (separate thread, probably server issues).
Thanks. -
ICloud Control Panel does not sync more than 139 Images
Hello Forks,
i'm encountering a Problem with iCloud Control Panel v 3.1 running on Windows 8.1 Professional on a Lenovo Think-Tablet.
When I enable Photostream it downloads excatly 139 Images and stops after that.
On my Windows 8(.0) Laptop and my mac pro it's running fine tho.
I've tried everything i found on the forums so far:
-) deleted appdata
-) deleted Images Folder
-) reinstalled whole suite
-) logged out and in again
my Photostream contains ~600 Images
Any avice?hello,
so how is it possible that on my mac - on which i enabled icloud like 1 week ago - downloads 600+ images and my tablet, where i installed icloud 2 months ago downloads almost nothing?
//edit:
if icloud _would_ download at least the newest images, but it downloads anything in between my photostream -
Windows Update from COntrol Panel does not work??
Hello,
regardless if it is common way to do so or not: Does anyone have experience with the "Windows Update" functions in WE8S?
I tried them upon a customers request, and I've seen that I could not get it to complete successfully when choosing the option in
Control Panel. It either hanged during "Downloading..." or at the "Preparing to install..." screen - I waited for many hours. But when I using the "Windows Update"
app from the start screen, updates were installed without any problems (OK, 1 has failed, but the process has completed). Of course, both methods have different look, maybe it is not the
same...
As per Sean Limings' book it is no good idea to update systems in the field this way - shall I remove the functions from the system? What are you doing?
Thanks,
Willi K.Maybe it was because of the number of updates (in my case there were 85 updates pending). After I succeeded installing via the "Windows Update" app from "Start Menu", there where two more updates, and update now worked when called from
control panel (at least one of them, KB2973201 still stolidly fails to install). -
Icloud control panel photostream not working on windows
Using windows 7 i set up photostream to hsare the photos taken on my iphone/ipad. all worked for a while, but, have stopped now. Photo are not loading onto the PC. When i go to the control panel I also note the options buttom beside photostream is inactive (meaning i cannot check what folders have been set up). I suspect this came about during an update of versions as all was previosuly working just fine.

Photo Stream shows shared on iPad but when I access it on PC, Photo Stream is not clickable and can only access old photos that I shared from a month ago.
iCloud is neither compatible with nor available for Windows XP.

Officejet J3680 Control Panel does not respond to buttons, just make "beep sound"
Hi everybody, thanks for reading.
The problem is that my (brand new) J3680 control panel does not work until I press all the buttons, yes its weird.
Note #1: The printer works perfect when used through the computer (I am Linux user).
Note #2: Once I have pressed all the buttons at control panel the control panel (kind of) works.
Heres how this happens:
I plug the power cord
Now, the printers start and not even the Power button works, so I cant turn it off, each time I press any button it just do a “beep sound” and the LCD screen keeps the same
The LCD shows this:
0 Speed Dial
<One-Touch 1>
Now I have figured out what the LCD screen initialization means:
0: Thats the times I have pressed the “Speed Dial” button
Speed Dial: Thats the button I have to press to make the Control Panel works
<One-Touch 1>: This is the next button I have to press after the “Speed Dial” has been pressed
The printer then makes me press all the buttons (...)
I think this is kind of some “Control Panel button calibration", because the LCD respond perfect when I press the button the printer ask
The other problem is that I don't know how to finish this calibration or whatever this is, because I reach a point where I cant find the button it ask
The LCD ends showing:
1 Color Start
<Hidden 1+Black>
Where “1 Color Start” was the last button it asked me to press, and the <Hidden 1+Black> is the next one combination.
Note that “Hidden 1” is not “1” not “Speed Dial 1”, I have just tried that combinations, but does not work.
Please help I have to do this each time I turn on the printer to make the control panel work. Thanks a lot.

I have an apple ID which I use to sign into icloud for my iPad and iPhone.But when I use the same ID for setting up iCloud on my Macbook it says INCORRECT ID or password, try again. I tried changing my passwords several times but it does not work for the macbook.
You will have to provide the correct password to delete the existing account, if you have tried but are not getting the password reset email, contact Apple for assistance by going to https://expresslane.apple.com, then click More Products and Services>Apple ID>Other Apple ID Topics>Lost or forgotten Apple ID password.

I'm probably doing this all wrong. Just in case here it is again.
I'm having trouble signing into the iCloud Control Panel. None of the iCloud suggested fixes work. I'm using Windows 7 on a PC. Is there a simple fix out there?asdfjava-er wrote:
The book that I'm using said it wasn't necessary for this because it's supposed to just make sure everything is working properly--which it's not.OK, if you want to ignore my advice, so be it, but please don't complain that it is not going to work without even trying it yourself.

Now this is the part I don't get. The book tells me to go to http://localhost:8080/ch1/Serv1 even though there are no files/folders that have the name Serv1.
Do you understand what the <servlet-mapping> declaration in the web.xml means? It is roughly just saying the appserver that it should port all requests on /Serv1 to the mentioned servlet.
a couple others like/ch1/WEB-INF/classes/Ch1Servlet.class and /ch1/WEB-INF/web.xml. The WEB-INF folder is not public accessible, so forget about that part.
"Resource not found" simply means that either the URL is wrong (case counts!) or that the resource is actually not there. I.e. not compiled, not deployed, not loaded, etcetera. Reading the appserver's startup logs might also help.
