How can i set up icloud control panel on a microsoft surface 2 with windows rt 8.1

How can I setup icloud control panel on a microsoft surface 2 with windows rt 8.1.

I apologize for semi-hijacking the topic of this thread from "Multiple iCould IDs with single AppleID. Possible?" 
Perhaps my reasoning for doing this was flawed, but here it is.  That thread was started back in June when the real details of iCloud were somewhat conjecture.  It is now about 14 pages long.  There are some recent posts to the thread, but for the life of me I can't tease a solution to my question above out of them.  I just may not be reading carefully enough.  If so, I apologize.
What I am looking for is more of a STEP BY STEP guide to setting up iOS 5 and OS 10.7.2 for a family in my situation with my needs.  I think I do represent a fair segment of users.
If the monitors of this forum think my thread should be tack on to the end of the above mentioned forum...by all means do so.
Honestly, If Steve were alive today I think he would not be happy with this situation faced by Apple customers.  Steve always said his guiding mantra for his products was..."It just works."  I honestly believe he meant that.  But, with regard to this iCould business...for normal pedestrian users like myself,  I would have to say, "It just doesn't work."

    I apparently moved or deleted my iCloud folder and keep getting this message Use the iCloud Control Panel to pick a new folder.  How do I do this?

    I have/had the same problem, just started this morning. I tried a system restore to a known good date. I still had the problem so I rolled restored the system to the latest.
    Thinking that it might have something to do with priviliges, I reviewed my user account and noticed it was set to "Administrator". On a whim, I switched my user account from administrator to "standard user" and I'll be... the issue dissapeared. I have no idea why. But I thought I'd pass it along.

  • How can I set up two control panels in two seperate monitors using Lookout version 4?

    I have Lookout version 4, and dual monitors and i am trying to make it so two seperate control displays come up at the same time upon opening in the different monitors.  The guy at tech support said it is not possible, so Iwas wondering if anybody has a possible creative solution to this problem?

    Run two instances of Lookout (not possible in LO6+)
    You would need to manual put each process on each display

  • How can I set up iCloud sync with Outlook 2007 using Hotmail account?

    Hi,
    I installed iCloud PC control panel. I tried to sync my contacts and calendars from Outlook (2007) to the cloud but I gets this message: "Add an e-mail account to Outlook Before setting up iCloud". I have an Hotmail account synced up into my Outlook via Outlook Connector. Can iCloud sync with Hotmail accounts?
    What should I do to get my calendars and contacts synchronize to the cloud. Does Outlook 2007 can be synced by the cloud too?
    How can I set up iCloud sync with Outlook 2007 using Hotmail account?

    I found a way to fix this, it did the trick for me:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3109623
    All you have to do is include a new e-mail account [email protected] (set it as a default) on Outlook with the options that are showed in the thread I linked and you should have the calendars and tasks syncronised. It works perfectly with ipod touch, ipad and Outlook 2010 on windows 7.
