How do I install iCloud for Windows 7 using icloudsetup_exe Apple download that won't execute?

When I download the iCloud for PC application, Apple provides a non-editable file name icloudsetup_exe instead of a normal windows executable name such as icloudsetup.exe, so after double clicking on the setup file, Windows then asks what application to open this file with, instead of executing the setup file.  Has anyone figured out how to make this work?

Yeah, I use Windows on bootcamp for both my Imac and my Macbook Pro.
In fact, seeing as my Mac partition on my external hard drive was successful i.e. I installed and can boot from them any time I like, couldn't I just use the external hard drive's partitions' bootcamp assistant and install/boot windows on there?

  • Outlook 2010 won't open after installing icloud for windows

    Hi,
    Installed icloud for windows at work this morning after moving my MM account to icloud at home on my MBP.
    Installed ok but after ticking the mail, contacts, calendar and bookmark boxes on icloud for windows Outlook 2010 starts but won't open and stays on the "Processing..." for a long time before I close it.
    Also the icloud for windows control panel won't reopen except the time it opens after installation. I have tried removing it and rebooting but after it's installed, if you close the control panel it won't reopen although it's still running in Task Manager. Closing it in Task Manager and restarting doesn't make a difference.
    Currently I removed, rebooted and reinstalled and only have the bookmarks ticked and outlook works ok but the control panel still won't reopen.
    I am on a exchange server so don't know if this is part of the problem. Not real worried about mail but would like calendars working again.
    Very thankful for any help you can offer.

    I had the same problem after successfully moving from MobileMe to iCloud yesterday on my PC, ipad and iphone.
    Today I couldn't open Outlook 2010. An Outlook dialogue box for my MobileMe email account kept asking for the email password, and although I put the password in, it kept re-appearing.
    I turned off Norton spam temporarily, because I noticed Outlook was stuck processing the Norton plug ins at opening, and managed to open Outlook but the programme crashed every time I tried to access my email account settings (I thought I would try to delete the MobileMe email account).
    I then opened the Control Panel for iCloud and unchecked the Mail with Outlook box, which has enabled Outlook to work again. The @me.com email account was gone when I checked the email accounts. I never needed to use the @me.com email account anyway.
    How frustrating and such a waste of my time.
    Does anyone know what difference it makes if the MobileMe/iCloud email is not connected to Outlook? Does it really make any difference when you have your email accounts in the iPad and iPhone anyway?

  • HT6413 I keep getting a installation pkg error when installing icloud for windows 7 on my pc.

    I keep getting an windows installation error when installing icloud for windows 7.  I have tried installing manually without success.

    There is a very long way which is removing anything related to Apple including stuff in the registry.
    The short way is as follows. It worked for me.
    I have seen that in the forum EXCEPT the registry trick which is missing and does the different.
    1. Remove the Apple account from Outlook.  In my case a me.com account.
    2. Disconnect the connection to ICloud in the control panel of version 3.1.
    REBOOT and open Outlook to see that all traces of the email account and of ICloud are gone.
    3. Uninstall ICloud 3.1. I used REVO Uninstaller in Safe way mode. It removed some stuff in the registry from what I see; but not sure.
    4. Delete as much stuff as possible in the C \Program Files (x86) \Common Files \ Apple
    and C\Program Files\Common Files \Apple.  My computer is 64 bits.
    5. Go to the registry by typing regedit.exe or simply type regedit in the Start Box. Search for ICloud.  I deleted TWO entries related to ICloud. Otherwise, you will still see the ICloud control panel despite the fact that you removed 3.1.
    6. then I was able to install ICloud 4 immediately.  Upon restarting it asked me my email and password and added itseft to Outlook like it was before. Be aware that you address book in Outlook could be deleted, so do an export before.

  • Help I can not install iCloud for Windows 4.0.2

    Every time I try to install iCloud for Windows 4.0.2 I receive a error message. Then I try downloading the file install but still no luck. What am I missing? I am using Windows 7 Pro with all other updates installed Core i7 3770K,16 Gig memory,64 bit OS,Service pack 1.

    My machine at home actually states that I must use the older version for video to work, but for other installing this version has been a useful workaround for a number of issues, not necessarily limited to the video system, but also compatibility issues with other hardware and software.
    See also Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates in case you have any troubles pulling out the old software before installing the new.

    The solution is to delete /Library/Printers/hp/Frameworks/HPSmartX.framework and re-install the HP package once.

    You can, but you have to hack the iCloud.msi file, & once you do that you will only have access to Bookmarks, & mail thru iCloud.

  • Can I install Linux for Windows on my Apple Mac and afterwards use old windows programs as PageMaker on my new Mac. If yes where can I find Linus windows for Mac

    Can I install Linux for Windows at my new Mac and afterwards use old Windows programs as Photo Shop and PageMaker on my Mac? If yes where at the Internet can I find Linux for Mac and Windows?

    What is your definition of a "Linux for Windows" ?
    There is Linux like Ubuntu which can be installed on a Mac
    See the UbuntuForuns here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam
    And there is Microsoft Windows which can be installed and used on a Mac with Apples BootCamp http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/ or through Virtualization apps like Parallels, VMWare Fusion or VirtualBox.
    Windows Programs don't run in a Linux only in Windows.

  • How do I install Elements for Windows 7 PC with 64 bit? Get error message - file archive part missing

    We purchased Elements 12 and Premiere Elements 12 on September 7, 2014 and have tried a variety of things including searching through FAQs on the Adobe site, etc. etc. and cannot get our downloads to work. We are avid computer users and have never had problems downloading software before.
    From our account under "orders" - I have tried clicking on the Akamai download manager and the Alternate Download Method on for each application with the same results.
    We have a Windows 7 PC with a 64 bit operating system and Internet Explorer 11.
    On all attempts we get an Adobe screen with 2 links – 1 for a file ending in .7z and a 2nd file ending in .exe.
    I click on the first file and confirm the download completes at 100% (not paused, etc.) and is in the downloads folder for my user name on the PC.
    I click on the 2nd link for .exe and I receive the error message below – 2nd screen shot – “file archive is missing” all folders/files must be in same folder.
    So I see it’s a winzip file (as a winzip pop up folder had come up also) so I download the free version and unzip the files in the same downloads folder under my user name to try that.
    I click on .exe file link again and same message. I tried copying the files directly to the downloads folder (as they all unzipped into a subfolder called PSE 12 and tried clicking on .exe again but get the same message.
    For Premiere I tried the same and got same results on the 64 bit version download.
    I do not know how to access the software we purchased.
    Any help or advice is appreciated.
    Also - if anyone knows how I can contact Adobe for a full refund so I can just buy the boxed software instead - that would be helpful as well as that is not easy to find online either.
    Thanks!

    I get an error message saying that the quicktime installer will only work on 32 bit
    The QuickTime player works on 64-bit systems. (It's a 32-bit application, but it should run fine using the standard 32-bit-on-64-bit Windows-on-Windows emulation.)
    What's the precise text of your installation error message, dc? (There one or two different ones I can think of that might mention 32-bit)

  • How do I install iCloud on Windows Vista?

    I think the current iCloud can only be installed to Windows 7 or 8, so where can I get the earlier version from?

    Hi Nikpfost,
    Essentially a Intel Mac can run Boot Camp.
    This runs you through several steps including Installing Boot Camp.
    Burning a CD or Mac drivers for Windows (IS/Was XP based)
    And then installing a Service Pack 2 edition of XP and Then Installing the Mac drivers (drivers for the Mac hardware such as Trackpad, iSight etc.)
    This forum will have more on the Vista side
    http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1165
    Another option is Paraelles.
    This would still need you to do the Boot Camp and CD Burning bit to get the Drivers for the hardware.

  • How can I create icloud account which I tried and it has showing the message that multiple free accounts have been activated on this device how should I install icloud and I got from apple support if you have mac then create a new icloud account but I don

    How will have an option to create an icloud id

    Hello there, vishal274.
    The following Knowledge Base article provides a great FAQ that provides some great answers to some of the more common questions about iCloud, including yours:
    Creating an iCloud account: Frequently Asked Questions
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4436
    How do I sign up for iCloud?
    You can sign up for iCloud on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5 or later, or through System Preferences on a Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.4 or later. Just follow the setup instructions for your iOS device or Mac.
    You may need to verify the email address that you use for your Apple ID. See Frequently Asked Questions About Apple ID for more information.
    I had a free Find My iPhone account. How do I sign up for iCloud?
    Update the devices that you use with Find My iPhone to iOS 5 (iOS 6 recommended). When you're asked to enter an Apple ID during setup, enter the Apple ID you were using for Free Find My iPhone. Your account will be automatically updated to iCloud.
    I had a MobileMe account. How do I sign up for iCloud?
    To use your MobileMe account for iCloud, follow the iCloud setup instructions and enter your @me.com or @mac.com email address as your Apple ID. If you had an @me.com address, it will be reactivated for email when you sign up for iCloud. If you had an @mac.com address, it won't be reactivated for email, but you can set up a new @icloud.com email address to use with iCloud.
    Important: You will need a verified email address associated with your @me.com or @mac.com Apple ID to set up iCloud. To add a verified email address, go to My Apple ID (appleid.apple.com), sign in with your @me.com or @mac.com email address, and add a valid email address to your account.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.
