Does iCloud only support Outlook? If so why?

This is really bothersome for me, as I don't want to pay for Microsoft Office. Is there a way to sync to Windows Contacts (which comes with all post-Vista Windows OS's) instead? Also, can I sync bookmarks with Chrome instead of IE?

WARNING WARNING Before you buy Outlook or Office just so you can sync with iCloud, take a look at the millions who have had iCloud wreak havoc on their Contacts files. You can see them in the screaming rants with the vairous titles of "how to sync outlook contacts with icloud" or "Undo iCloud and restoreOutlook 2007 on my PC? How? "
iCloud DOES NOT WORK WITH OUTLOOK!
you might be able to coble somthing together but it will take you days, if not weeks.
Sincerely, Former recipent of iCloud destruction!

Why does apple only support mp4 videos?

It's not really a problem, i usually use my friends computers to convert my videos since mine is so slow.
But why does apple only support MP4 and MOV formats? Why not MPEG or DivX?
I know they cannot use WMV because it is a Microsoft format.
It's just sometimes when i convert videos, the audio becomes out of sync or iTunes complains it's not playable on my iPod.
I would just like to know why?
Thanks for your time.

If Apple chooses to go with H.264 or MP4 or whatever else they want to support, maybe it would be real nice if iTunes could automatically convert to those formats. So if I dropped my universally standard (and supported by most DVD players) DivX video clip in the library, iTunes would convert and format the video to an iPod friendly format.
So, let me see if I understand this correctly. You want Apple to pirate proprietary codecs from DivX and build them into iTunes QT access. Tell me, does this mean that Apple is working as your agent and you will be the one spending time behind bars or paying the fines. Or, are you saying that Apple should act as an agent for DivX and charge you for a version of iTunes with legal codecs installed. How about Windows Media? Want to double the cost? What about Real? Or maybe Apple should have different versions of iTunes -- one for you and one for the guy who lives next door who uses old Indeo files?
I have tried several 3rd party converters and they all suck.
Perhaps you should be more selective in choosing a converter or invest in a commercial product which is supported by the people selling it.

Does icloud email support the DMARC standard?

Hello,
Does icloud email support the DMARC standard? Some of the emails that come into my icloud.com should an unknown dmarc status in the headers. For example:
pass=?; dmarc-policy=(noPolicy); s=; d=
is contained in the header of some emails. I send the same email to a gmail account and it shows dmarc setup properly. Are their special rules for icloud for DMARC?
Thanks,

If I'm not mistaken, GMail is more robust in allowing you control over whether you automatically reply using the address to which a message was sent, to avoid inadvertently revealing your real or main address when dealing with mail from aliases, unless iCloud does that by default (I've only used this type of feature through GMail but was tending to my old Mac.com address and ran across your post...).

Is there a way to Move files to the iCloud thus freeing up disk space on my Mac? Or does iCloud only sync (replicate) files between my Mac and the cloud?

Is there a way to Move files to the iCloud thus freeing up disk space on my Mac? Or does iCloud only sync (replicate) files between my Mac and the cloud? I want to free up disk space on my Mac and assumed that the icloud would be a good way to do this, but having 'moved' 70Gb of files to the iCloud drive (I've upgraded to 200Gb storage) my Mac is still nearly full and I've realised that it seems to just Sync files just like dropbox.

So, the big question is did the Apple guys confirm that this is how the new iCloud drive should be working? I'm guessing, from your response, that this is indeed the case. Are they going to fix this anytime soon? I thought that this was a new function of the iCloud drive in Yosemite.
I just want an online storage facility to back up my photo & music collections. I did look at Dropbox as they have a good deal going with their Dropbox Pro, however this is still just a sync service where the Master files reside on your local disk drive - although I have read that there may be a way to work around this. Still not ideal.

Does Verizon FIOS Support Outlook 2010?

I just upgraded my computer to MS 7.0 o/s and to Office 2010. I am having trouble configuring Outlook 2010 to the same mailbox address I've used successfully for the last 5 years on Office 2003. Does Verizon FIOS support Outlook 2010?

Certainly they support Outlook 2010, just not automatically.

HT204150 Does iCloud make my Outlook 2010 slow?

Afer I fix iCloud to my PC, my Outlook get slow down. Once I open Outlook, it freeze for a while before I can send or receivee mail.Why?How can I fix it?
My PC current with Win7, the Outlook 2010 is one component of Office 2010 Stardard.
During my my Outlook 2010 freezing, it seemd to upload or synchro something. I am wondering why your iCloud alwalse need to synchro something everytime while openning the Outlook 2010.

I've been researching something similar.
In essence there is no "sync" at all. Outlook is configured to show its own default calendar, a representation of the iCloud calendar and an initial merge conflicts calendar.
If you put an entry into the Green calendar from Outlook you are changing the iCloud calendar in the cloud and the changes are propagated to iOS devices etc etc linked to the same iCloud account.
The blue (local outlook) calendar only shows up 'cos it's checked in My Calendars to the left.
Nothing you do in iCloud affects the Outlook default blue calendar, but changes made to the iCloud green calendar via Outlook work as you would expect.
So think of "parallel display of Outlook and Cloud calendar" rather than "synchronisation"

Does icloud only work with my .me account or can I add my other email accounts?

I have been trying for a couple of days now, looking thru settings and logging in ti the cloud from multiple computers but I cant find a way to add my other e-mail accounts to my icloud. Is it realey exclusive to the apple mail account?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
iCloud will only sync your iCloud mail. It does this because it is an IMAP email account not a POP email account.
If you want other email addresses to do the same thing, contact the provider to see if they can change your email account to an IMAP account. (This is what I did)

Why does iCloud not like Ed Sheeran and why is iTunes a liar?

So like everyone on here I'm sure, you've downloaded iOS 7. I had some difficulty but have it on my phone now and even through my cracked screen it's beautiful. BUT
Before I updated my iPhone, i installed the latest version of iTunes on my Macbook Pro. My first problem is after both devices were updated, my iTunes is saying it cannot connect to my iPhone because it doesn't have the latest version. I've quit and restarted iTunes and have restarted my macbook a couple of times but I keep getting that error message.
So that's my first problem.
The other problem is friggin iCloud on my iPhone! Most of my purchased music downloaded on there no problem. I didn't mind when it came to most of my music because i haven't listened to most of it. But it won't download Ed Sheeran's album which I listen to quite often lately. Soooo this is most definitely a problem.
I really hope someone can help me on here because I am NOT paying $19 for tech support. Thanks!!!

It is not Mac to Mac.
Why not look up iCloud support, it was never offered as anything outside iOS 5 supported devices.
Maybe if you would stop reading into things what isn't there.

HT1515 Is it possible to stream music in 24bit 96kHz or does it only support 16bit 44.1kHz ?

I would like to know what is the maximum capbilities of "airtune" to steam music via Airport Express.
What kind of DAC is inside Aiport Express? Is the optical output able to steam music in 24bit?

Does anyone know how or if it's possible to stream my music from the iPhone to iTunes via bluetooth or wifi? Essentially I want to share the iPhone's library with iTunes (I know one can go the other way).
Here's why: I'd like to stream my music at work to my computer's speakers without taking the phone out of my pocket. I obviously don't have my home music collection on my company computer. And I figure if I place the phone on my desk to plug it in and play through iTunes, I could easily walk off without the phone. That would be bad (out of contact) and potentially sad (stolen).
It seems right now the only bluetooth connection to a computer is for the remote application.
Wait until November. Airplay/Airtunes iOS 4.2 announced for iPhone to iTunes/iTV. If you want a BT audio stream now, you can add a dongle to the PC for headset streaming.
As far as WiFi file transfer iPhone to iTunes, you can't. There's talks on it but nothing concrete. Except JB.

Does iCloud still support MobileMe find my iPod

Hi,
I recently found out that my iPod 2nd Generation supports a feature called Find my iPod. I have it synced with my iCloud (MobileMe) account but everytime I go on iCloud my iPod is not there. Did Apple stop supporting this feature?
Thanks

I assumed that you had an iCloud account with an @me ID because you migrated your MobileMe account to iCloud. You have to have iOS 5 or higher to use iCloud and the Find My iPod feature. You'll have to update your iPod first. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972.

Does iCloud still support my lyrics?

I would like sometimes to be able to read my lyrics... On my matched songs in my library on my Mac they are still there, but when I listen/download a song frmo the iCloud both the album art and lyrics are somehow not there..
any clues?
Michael

iTunes store downloads don't contain lyrics, so matched content won't either. Album art should download, but some have notedd in cases it doesn't or at least doesn't immediately. I have most of my album art, but not all.
