Has anyone installed Jan 22 iCloud Control Panel 2.1.3 for Vista?

I'm wondering if anyone has installed this http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1687 (post date on the link is Jan 22, 2014)? If so, did you do it independent of any other Apple updates (like iTunes), and did everything work OK?
I'm wanting to install it (in the hope that I will get bookmark sync working again between my Vista and iOS devices), but am reluctant to do so after the iTunes debacle earlier this week. As far as I can see, the iTunes update still isn't working right (I used System Restore to back out of it and am waiting to see when the coast is clear before trying again. (Yes, I did see links about manually deleting files and all that, but prefer to wait for update to be fixed)

OK - reporting back.
I installed with no problems and was able to open iCloud on my PC and check calendar, notes, reminders. Haven't yet checked bookmark syncing, will get to that when I can.
(I have Vista, IE9; have backed out latest iTunes update before installing this version of iCloud Control Panel)

  • Problem with Office 2007 whenever I install the iCloud Control Panel for Windows

    Sadly I have a Win7 laptop as my work hack and am using Office 2007.  Outside of work I use iCloud to sync calenders between various iOS/OS X devices however whenever I install the iCloud Control Panel for Windows Plugin my email no longer loads. Outlook starts fine and just sits there with an empty inbox waiting for mail to load.  I can't even open the iCloud Panel from within Control Panel either to set preferences!
    Unistalling the iCloud plug-in resolves this but I really want to sync my iCloud calender with Outlook and can't see any other way to do it, plus it worked before and then just stopped.
    Any assistance would be appreciated.

    I tired everything that was suggested in the forum.  Tried IE and firefox to no avail. When I tried computers in stores both worked.  A friend of mine who has the 32 bit setup got it to work. Several folks have stated it is the compatability issue with 64 bit.  As a last resort, I loaded safari on my home computer, and yep, it works.  Go figure, apple product.

    Si aun no funciona debes de deshabilitar el firewall y el antivirus

  • 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).

  • Icloud control panel not an option for me now what????

    We are running and exchange server XP Pro and Outlook 2003 is all I have at work.  I don't have access to Vista or Windows 7 nor outlook 2007 or 2010.  All want to do is transfer my yahoo calendars to icloud calendars.  From the searches I did I found I had to download the icloud control panel which I can't do becuase of hte software I am forced to run for work.
    Can anyone tell me if there is a way (besides opening each yahoo event and switching it on the iphone to an icloud calendar) to transfer my yahoo calendar to an icloud calendar??

    There is not, Vista or Lion are the minimum requirements, use Yahoo's sync services instead.

  • HT5622 How do I check what version of ICLOUD CONTROL PANEL I have on Windows VISTA HP?

  • When I try to install the iCloud control panel, computer says ínstallation failed'. Help!

    You must create an iCloud account using a Mac, or an IOS device. Once you have done that your PC can sign in and use it.

  • Cannot install ICloud Control Panel to Laptop using Windows 8

    I cannot install the ICloud Control Panel on our Laptop.
    Tried several times to install but get an error code at the
    very end of the install. Not sure why.
    Installed perfectly on another PC.

    I have the same issue on my new laptop running Windows 8.1. When trying to install iCloud Control Panel 3.1 it stops at 'Updating component registration' and displays the alert 'the process cannot access the file because another process has locked a portion of the file'.  Can anyone help?

  • ICloud Control Panel 2.0 instalation error on Win 7 x64bit

    just tried by Apple Software Update and manually as recommended and got that error is it because it's 32bit version of installer ?
    i have microsoft visual c++ 2008 as well as 2005 and 2010 installed for x86 and x64 so...

    These ones are typically caused by underlying problems on the PC that also often cause Windows Updates to fail to install. If we can fix the Windows Update trouble, we can usually get the iCoud trouble cleaned up en passant.
    Go into your Windows update and try to check for new updates. If updates install, stock up on the ones you're behind on, restarting the PC if requested to do so. After the restart, try installing the iCloud control panel again. Does it go through this time for you?
    If windows updates fail to install, go into your Update History and doubleclick the failures. What alphanumeric codes appear for you? Are they also 8007370B, or some other number? (If they're another number, what number are you getting?)
    EDIT: Changed references to iTunes to iCloud.

  • Why does the iCloud Control Panel say "Install Outlook to use Mail, Contacts, and Calendars?"

    I've just successfully installed the iCloud Control Panel on my PC (runs with Vista). Why does the iCloud Control Panel say "Install Outlook to use Mail, Contacts, and Calendars?" The Bookmarks (with Safari) and Photo Stream options are active, but the Mail (with Outlook), Contacts (with Outlook),and Calendars and Tasks (with Outlook) are not. I'm using Office Outlook 2007. I used to be able to synch my iPhone with my PC's Outlook through iTunes without any problems. Any help would be appreciated.

    I meant to say when in the control panel!

  • Why won't my icloud control panel launch

    I installed the iCloud control panel on my PC which runs Windows 7, it seemed to install fine, I restarted my pc but now the control panel will not launch.  If I try to uninstall the pgm it says I am still signed in, but I cannot sign out until I open the pgm.  Any ideas?

    Having the same issue and this link http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4194
    Resolution
    Update to the latest version of iTunes.
    I'm running iTunes 11.1 and iCloud Control Panel 3.0.
    Only way I was able to launch iCloud Control Panel is to kill taks Apple Push. There has to be a bettery way to lauch it.
