Cannot connect iCloud and Outlook 2013 for Calendar, Mail, and Contacts

I have to re-establish my Outlook so my iPhone 5 can get my Windows 7 emails. I have reduced my data to almost nothing, bare minimum and I continually get an "exceeded the maximum number of 25000 allowed events and tasks" message; any suggestions?

Hi engineer53,
I have an article for you that can help explain the source of that message:
iCloud: Limits for Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, and Bookmarks
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4489
In order to resolve this issue, you may need to turn off iCloud syncing for Outlook, adjust the number of events and tasks in Outlook, then resume syncing. Thanks for being a part of the Apple Support Communities!

Cannot connect to server on IPad for yahoo mail

I can't seem to be able to access my Yahoo mail from my IPad 3 anymore. Any ideas as to what's causing this? I have wifi through a Verizon wireless router and then I have a range extender as well but when I'm in the house I use the Verizon user name and password to access my mail and the intent. Connecting to the internet has not been a problem, although a game I play gets squirrelly and losing connection to the service, but that could be the game. Mostly, I just want to get my yahoo mail like I used to. Please help!

ICloud and Outlook 2013 - Wrong calendar is being synced, how to change?

Hi all,
I have iCloud installed and running Outlook 2013 on my Windows 8 computer and I'm having an issue with syncing calendars. I've looked all through the discussions and haven't seen an answer for my issue so hopefully someone can assist.
iCloud is installed correctly and under the iCloud section in Outlook, there is a calendar and it does sync with my iPhone 5 but it's the wrong calendar. It's not the main calendar that is up in my list of folders for my email account. I can't find a place to tell iCloud which calendar to sync with so I'm not sure how to go about getting the correct calendar - or both if need be - syncing with my phone.
Thanks in advance!

iCloud was built to provide a synchronization option and is claimed to work with Outlook. Unfortunately it has a basic flaw that makes it almost unuseable by anyone that receives invitations via email, therefore it doesn't do what is claimed.
I'm sure it works great with the other Apple products. And maybe Apple doesn't care to worry about Microsoft, assuming that people will blame MS for this failing and buy a Mac. That is a shame because, like it or not, Microsoft is still the 800lb gorilla in terms of office products.
Unfortunately you have entirely misunderstood iCloud, it is NOT a sync service, it is a subscription account that you can subscribe to with Outlook (amongst others). It does not sync your local calendar, instead you use the iCloud calendar.
It is Microsoft who chose this behaviour, not Apple (although this problem does not exist with Outlook for Mac), Microsoft chose to make that entirely incompatible with iCloud calendars and contacts, thus avoiding the issue

I use a Win7 PC with iCloud and Outlook 2010 for syncing my calendar and contacts. I can enter data in my Outlook Calendar and it will appear in iCloud, but data entered in iCloud does not sync back to Outlook. ICloud syncs to my iphone fine both ways.

I use Win 7 PC with iCloud and Outlook 2010 for syncing my Contacts and Calendar. They have stopped syncing...mostly.
Now, appointments I enter on my local Outlook (iCloud) Calendar goes up to iCloud fine. But, data I enter on iCloud directly does not come down to my local Outlook iCloud Calendar. If I reboot the computer, the iCloud data shows up.
Also, Contacts I try to enter on my Outlook (iCloud) Contacts goes up to iCloud fine, but does not show up in my local iCloud Contacts.
All syncing works with my iPhone.
I have signed out of iCloud on PC. I have stopped syncing and re-started. No change.
I have an .aplzod folder for iCloud. I have a separate Earthlink.net.pst email account in Outlook and a me.com.pst Outlook email account (which I don't actually use) listed under Data Files.
Any help would be appreciated. Curious that Outlook will upload to iCloud but not receive downloads unless I reboot. However, rebooting does not download the missing Contacts.

Hi Jim!
You've started off with some good troubleshooting steps, so let's see if we can take this a little further and figure out what the issue is with your iCloud contacts and calendars. I have two articles here that will help you troubleshoot this issue a little further, but the troubleshooting steps for both articles are exactly the same, so I will lay those out for you here:
Note: 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 (right-click) menu has also been disabled.
If you are having trouble with a PC (with Outlook 2007 or 2010) and iCloud Calendar, try each of these steps, testing after each to see if the issue is resolved:
Verify that you are using a Windows configuration that is supported by iCloud. For more information, see iCloud system requirements.
When enabling Calendars in the iCloud Control Panel, part of the setup process is to copy your Calendars data from the default Outlook ".pst" file to iCloud, and then remove the Calendars from the ".pst" file by placing them in the Deleted Items folder in Outlook. The Calendars data is then stored in the iCloud data set within Outlook so that changes can be pushed to and from Outlook by iCloud. Be sure you are looking for your data within the iCloud dataset within Outlook after enabling Calendars in the iCloud Control Panel. The deleted files can be seen by viewing Deleted Items within your Outlook Folder List. This is not iCloud removing your data; iCloud simply copies your data into the iCloud data set and then removes the local Calendars data by placing it in the Deleted Items folder.
Make sure your computer is online. Attempt to view www.apple.com and iCloud.com. If you can't connect to the Internet, your iCloud calendars and events will not update in Outlook. Click here for more information about troubleshooting your Internet connection.
Open a secure website to test if you are online as is necessary for iCloud Calendar. This also tests if the ports 80 and 443 are accessible. Outlook requires port 443 access to iCloud in order to push and pull updates to and from the iCloud Calendar servers.
Verify that your iCloud member name is entered into the iCloud Control Panel pane. See iCloud Setup for more information about setting up iCloud on Windows.
Completely close and reopen the iCloud Control Panel.
If you recently made changes in Outlook and they are not moving to your other devices or vice-versa, click the Refresh button in Outlook.
Turn iCloud Calendar off and back on:
Close Outlook.
Open the Windows Control Panel:
In Windows 8, move the pointer to the upper-right corner of the screen to show the Charms bar, click the Search charm, and then click the iCloud Control Panel on the left.
In Windows 7 and Vista, choose Start menu > All Programs > iCloud > iCloud.
Remove the checkmark in the checkbox next to Mail, Contacts, Calendars & Tasks, and click Apply. Wait a few seconds, then replace the checkmark, and click Apply.
Open Outlook and test to see if the issue has been resolved.
Ensure the iCloud Outlook Add-in is active within Outlook.
Outlook 2010:
Open Outlook 2010.
Click the File menu.
Click Options in the left panel of the Outlook window.
Click Add-Ins in the left panel of the Outlook Options window.
Look at the list of add-ins beneath "Active Application Add-Ins" and verify that the "iCloud Outlook Add-in" is listed.
For Outlook 2007, follow these steps to verify the iCloud Outlook Add-in is active
Open Outlook 2007.
From the Tools menu, choose Trust Center.
Select Add-ins from the left column.
Look at the list of add-ins beneath "Active Application Add-Ins" and verify that the "iCloud Outlook Add-in" is listed.
For additional information about managing Add-ins with Microsoft Outlook, see this Microsoft support document.
Restart your computer. This may sound simple, but it does reinitialize your network and application settings and can frequently resolve issues.

How do you sync iCloud (contact, calendar, task) to outlook 2011 for Mac? and how do you make seemless sync between iCloud to Outlook 2011 to Blackberry device or an iPad?

I have three device: Macbook Pro (OSX 10.7.5) for work; an iPad and a Blackberry for mobile. I used mail, iCal, and Address Book combine with mobileme (iCloud) to exchange data such as contact, calendar and task from my Mackbook Pro to my iPad but never to Blackberry. The problem is my boss was asking me to change to Outlook 2011 for Mac because some of the email that I sent from Mail did not appear in my client's Blackberry. So how do you sync iCloud (contact, calendar, task) to Outlook 2011 for Mac? and how do you make seemless sync between iCloud to Outlook 2011 to Blackberry device or an iPad?
Best regards,
W. Sasongko

Cannot connect to Exchange server (Small Business Server 2008) using Windows 8.1 and Outlook 2013

I am at my wits end. I have got a new PC running Windows 8.1 and Outlook 2013 simply WILL NOT connect to my work Exchange server. The REALLY annoying thing is that the Windows Mail client inbuilt to Windows 8.1 works perfectly! But I have to have Outlook
for the functionality. The issue appears to be that in Outlook 2013 on Windows 8.1, it tries to be clever and auto-detect the settings whereas Windows Mail allows you to input the server and domain names.
I have tried all the suggestions already on some of the boards - manual setup, etc - nothing works! Is it a compatibilityissue with SBS 2008 and Outlook 2013? Any help appreciated!

There's no issue with O'2013 connecting with Ex '2007. Also not clear about comments of "auto-detect" versus "....have tried all the suggestions ............ manual setup....". On the one hand your stating that only "auto-detect" is available and on the
other that you've tried "manual settings" (which definitely is an option in O'2013 for EX accounts).
This may have more to do with the fact that you're using a new computer trying to connect to the server which it may not be configured for - something your admin will need to address.
Given that your question is in reference to Exchange - you are likely to get a better/faster answer in the following forum which deals with Exchange server related questions:

Is iCloud compatible with Windows 8.1 and Outlook 2013 Ver 15.0?

I have rcently updated Windows to 8.1 and Outlook 2013 to 15.0. Now iCloud is not providing any info to the Outlook Calendar, Contacts, Tasks, Notes, etc. The error message I get is "The set of folders cannot be opened. The information store could not be opened." The info exists on iCloud and my phone.

What is missing is the iCloud (& iTunes) Outlook Add-in

Connecting Outlook 2013 for a local user

We’re having trouble connecting a users connecting a domain user’s Outlook 2013 to our Exchange 2013 server. The user has a domain user account, and an Exchange mailbox.
However;
The user in question uses a PC that is physically connected to the network, but isn’t a domain-joined machine. The user is using a locally-provisioned account on the PC.
The machine can query internal DNS servers, and has network connectivity through to the Exchange server.
The user can successfully log in to OWA, where everything functions as normal. The user wishes to use Outlook 2013 for archiving of PST files.
We are having issues creating a mail profile for the user, whether manually configuring or utilising autodiscover.
With autodiscover, the user enters her name, email address and password in the initial wizard in Outlook 2013. 2 of the 3 steps succeed, before ‘The action cannot be completed. The name cannot be matched to a name in the address list’ error window is displayed.
Is this because Exchange is having issues with the account being used to create the profile (the local user account on the PC)?
Now what’s really odd, is that when using Outlook 2013 away from the network (at home), with any PC, the autodiscover method succeeds. What is causing it to fail internally?
So, with the autodiscover method out of the window, we turned to manually configuring the profile.
The local name of the Exchange server is entered for the server name, with the user’s email address for the username.
In ‘More Settings’, the connection tab is configured to ‘Connect to Microsoft Exchange using HTTP’.
The URL used to connect the proxy server for Exchange, is the external name used for OWA. This is the same address used when the user is using OWA internally/externally, which works without issue.
Options ‘Connect using SSL only’, along with ‘Only connect to proxy servers that have this principal name in their certificate’ are selected with
msstd:<external FQDN name> being entered.
Basic Authentication is selected for the proxy authentication settings section.
The user is then prompted for credentials. The following formats have been attempted;
Domain.local\username
Email Address
[email protected]
The correct password is used, but nothing is accepted.
How can we get Outlook 2013 configured for this non-domain joined PC?
Many thanks.

The first problem is, if this Exchange 2013 then the server name in Outlook isn't really a server name, it is in actuality the ExchangeGUID of the mailbox.
Since you are trying to access the mailbox from a machine that is not on the domain you will need to make sure the externalURLs resolve properly internally. Meaning either the user can access them by going out to the internet and getting routed back
in (not ideal) or you configure them to resolve to the internal IPs on your internal DNS servers.
Please remember to click “Mark as Answer” on the post that helps you, and to click “Unmark as Answer” if a marked post does not actually answer your question. This can be beneficial to other community members reading the thread
Thank you for your reply.
As I mentioned, this machine can query internal DNS servers without issue. Autodiscover is working in a fashion, as the name of the mail server is hashed.
In an update to the post, I have exported a working profile from the registry of the machine for a domain user, and have imported for a local user. This actually works, but I'd still like to know the reason for not being able to configure it in the first
instance.

Hi Raghavendar,
Generally, when you install Lync 2013 in the computer with Office 2010, a Lync Meeting Add-in will be installed and enabled in Outlook 2010. Please follow these steps to check it:
1. In Outlook, click the File tab, click Options, and then click
Add-Ins.
2. Please take one of the following actions:
If the add-in is in the Inactive Application Add-ins list, follow these steps:
a. In the Manage drop-down list at the bottom of the dialog box, click
COM Add-ins, and then click Go.
b. Click to select the check box next to the add-in, and then click OK.
The New Online Meeting button should now be available in
Calendar View, and the Online Meeting button should be available when you create a new calendar item.
If the add-in is in the Disabled Application add-ins list, follow these steps:
a. In the Manage drop-down list at the bottom of the dialog box, click
Disabled Items, and then click Go.
b. Select the add-in, and then click Enable.
c. Restart Outlook, and then verify that the add-in is displayed in the
Add-ins dialog box.
The New Online Meeting button should now be available in
Calendar View, and the Online Meeting button should now be available when you create a new calendar item.
3. In Event Viewer, view the Application log to see whether an error was logged for Outlook, for Lync 2013, the Lync Meeting Add-in for Microsoft Office 2013.

I've searched nearly the whole internet but without a solution. Can anyon

Have you checked to see if you have a default profile designated for Outlook? You can set it as described at the bottom of this article: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook-help/turn-on-or-off-profile-prompt-HA1 02749211.aspx.

I was unable to integrate outlook 2013 either. Message may point us that those events are not available locally and possibly located at exchange of outlook.com server. I may be completely off base here, sorry if could not help.

I purchased a new Windows 8 PC. I have used and continue to use Outlook 2010 for my calendar. With my old Windows 7 PC and Outlook 2010, my calendar sinked properly with my Iphone 5. Now with the new Windows 8 PC, it does not. Help!

I purchased a new Windows 8 PC and I use Outlook 2010 for my calendar. With my old Windows 7 PC and Outlook 2010, my calendar would sync with my Iphone 5, but with the new Windows 8 PC and Outlook 2010, it does not, and I can't figure out how to snyc them. The emails from Outlook 2010 sync, but the calendar does not. Help! Thanks.

Easy solution for restoring lost calendar informaiton, thank goodness. On your iPhone, go to settings, then to iCloud. If your Calendar selection is turned off, turn it on. Your info should restore. If your Calendar selection is turned on, then turn it off. Choose to save calendars when asked. After it shuts the Calendar off, turn it back on. Your info should be restored.
Thank you to Apple support for walking me through this. Shame on you Apple for not just telling people about this easy fix rather than making us go through all of this pain and worry.

How do I wirelessly synch my Notes using iCloud among iPad, iPhone 5S and Outlook 2013 running on Windows 8.1

How do I set up my devices to wirelessly synch my Notes using iCloud among iPad, iPhone 5S and Outlook 2013 running on Windows 8.1?

Hey bwind,
You will want to first create an iCloud account, if you haven’t already:
Creating an iCloud account: Frequently Asked Questions
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4436
Next, sign in to that iCloud account on your iPhone and iPad, and turn on the syncing for notes:
iCloud - iPhone
http://help.apple.com/iphone/7/#/iph3c79652c
iCloud - iPad User Guide
http://help.apple.com/ipad/7/#/iPad995bbafe
Then you will want to download the iCloud Control Panel for Windows:
iCloud Control Panel 3.1 for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1455
You will find your notes in their own section on Outlook:
iCloud: Notes overview
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12081
On your Windows computer, your changes are pushed to Microsoft Outlook in the Notes folder of your iCloud email account. You can see your iCloud notes by expanding your iCloud email account in the Outlook folder pane (also called the navigation pane), then selecting the Notes folder in the email account.
Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.
