How to enable categories in iCloud Outlook contacts and search option to include contacts notes?

So, I've seen various threads about iCloud not supporting categories as we know them in Outlook.  Categories are kept in iCloud contacts (in Outlook) but they just don't work as they did when contacts where in Outlook's PST folder.  I haven't seen that someone has found a solution to work this out without having to create groups one by one.  The other problem though is that when I search iCloud contacts in Outlook, I type in a keyword and the contact with the supposed keyword in its categories does not display if the contact has more than one categories linked to it.  Prior to iCloud I was able to pull up contacts by typing in a word in the search bar.  For instance, I'd type in a keyword of one my categories and Outlook would display all contacts that contained the word I searched (be it if the contact contained the keyword in its contact fields, categories, or notes).  Now, when I search a keyword, iCloud does not pull up the contact(s) with the specific word  if the contact has more than one categories linked to it.  It also appears that iCloud contacts in Outlook does not search keywords that are in the contacts' notes.  Does anyone know how to get these features to work?  I basically need iCloud contacts to be able to search contacts  along with their categories and their notes and display all contacts that contain the word I typed in the search bar.

Hi there,
I would recommend taking a look at some of the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.

  • How can I change my icloud email details and password on icloud

    how can I change my icloud email details and password on my iphone 5s tried all day without success, I have changed my apple ID and password thats okay.
    Joan

    To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted.  If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

    how can I add email (via outlook client) to share options of preview app

    You can't.  Apple's share button only supports Apple Mail (as specified by launching Apple Mail, choosing preferences and choosing general.).  Maybe Apple will open this up to other apps in future updates.

  • How do I get the iCloud to save and sync and upload info from both the devices on my account. Right now I can only do one

    How do I get the iCloud to save and sync and upload info from both the devices on my account. Right now I can only do one

    You must put each device on the Verizon cloud.
    Not both lines on one.
    Go and set up a my Verizon account for the second line and you will have Verizon cloud service on that line.
    Oh the term "icloud" is a trademark of Apple Inc. Verizon is not Apple.
    Good Luck

  • HT2623 How do I delete my icloud email address and create a new one?

    How do I delete my icloud email address and create a new one?

    You can't, except by creating a new iCloud account.  But you can create an @icloud.com email alias address to use that will receive email in your current inbox (see http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2622).  (Note: alias addresses cannot later be used to create a new iCloud account, nor can they be moved to another account or be reactivated should you ever delete them.)

    A lot more information about your hardware and software is needed.
    BOILERPLATE TEXT:
    If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
    such as your platform (Mac or Win),
    exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CC", but something like CC2014.v.2.2) and of Bridge,
    your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
    the type of file you were working on,
    machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
    what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
    what error message(s) you receive,
    if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
    if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
    a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too,
    etc.,

  • Can't get to settings to turn on wifi because "sign in to icloud" pops up and asks for pw which does not work because i can't get to wifi  ?p

    can't get to settings to turn on wifi because "sign in to icloud" pops up and asks for pw which does not work because i can't get to wifi  ?

    The problem is I cannot turn on wireless setting.  The "sign in to icloud  -- enter appleid password" popup will not go away. when i enter the pw and click ok, the same balloon pops up again.  If I click "cancel" it pops again. Since I am not on the internet (because I cannot turn the ipad wireless on) the sign in to icloud obviously will not work.  Vicious circle.

  • How Can I have the MB display (1280X800) and a  1440 x 900 ext not in miror

    How Can I have the MB display (1280X800) and a 1440 x 900 ext not in miror mode ???
    I have a Lenovo external display :
    H19-inch (483-mm) viewable image size
    Optimum resolution: 1440 x 900
    Tilt stand for viewing comfort adjustments
    16 x 10 aspect ratio
    Analog attachment

    I just bought a wide screen display that also uses 1440 X900 resolution. In mirror mode mine also only allows a maximum of 1280 X ???. I think may be a limitation of the GMA 950 graphics chip set. I never use it in mirrow mode so it doesn't bother me. I prefer extended mode. That way I can keep more windows open and visible.
    I use the question mars because on mine I can use 1280 X any of the resolutions that go with it.

  • HT204053 My husband and I both have iPhones but we only have one iPad. We use the same apple ID because we also share the same email address. How would this work with iCloud because we don't share the same contacts?  Thanks Elainecontacts

    My husband and I both have an iPhone and we share an iPad. We also share the same email address so how would this work with iCloud because we don't share all the same contacts?
    Thanks

    An icloud account is designed to be used by one user.  That user can have all his/her devices synced with the same Apple data (email, contacts, calendars, notes, reminders, etc.) .  When two people use the same account, then problems usually occur when one user edits data that the other user doesn't want changed on their device.  You can continue sharing the same ID for the itunes account in order to share the purchased music, apps, etc.  itunes accounts and icloud accounts are different.
    It's by far better that each user has his/her own icloud account.

  • ICloud , Outlook 2010 and Windows 8 synchronization issues

    Everything was working fine under Windows 7.  Outlook 2010 and IPad Contacts and Calendar were syncing perfectly.  Once Windows 8 was installed problems arose.  If I entered or updated a Contact or Calendar item in Outlook 2010 it synced perfectly with iCloud and the IPad.  However, if I entered data for a Contact or Calendar item on the IPad, it found its way to iCloud but did not update the item on Outlook.  I've tried reistalling iCloud software with no success.  Any ideas???

    I have exactly the same problem with Windows 7.  The Sent folder has lots in it on icloud and my other devices, but is empty on the Outlook client on my PC.  The sent folder is a "special" foder for iMap and is permenantly selected for syncing.
    I switched off the iCloud mail in the control panel and then added it again with now luck.
    Did you manage to get it working?

  • In e-mail how do I make a contact and can i import my contacts from my old pc to my new imac

    How do I make a contact in the e-mail program and can I import my e-mail contact list into my new iMac e-mail

    If by, "the e-mail program," you mean, Apple's "Mail" application, you make contacts by inputting them into the "Address Book" application. It's a separate application.
    Since I have no idea what you mean by, "my e-mail contact list," I can't recommend a method for transferring contacts to your "Address Book."
    You need to provide more information to get the answers that you need.
    What's the name of the e-mail program that you want to use, i.e., Mail, Outlook, Entourage?
    "New iMac e-mail," is not specific.
    What's the name of the e-mail program that you were using on your PC, i.e., Outlook, Outlook Express, etc.?

  • HT204053 I turned on cloud to back up my contacts and it erased all my contacts except A and B, how do I get them back?

    I turned on the cloud to back up my notes, calendar, contacts etc.  When I turned on contacts it asked if I wanted to merge, which to me means combine, but when I went back to my contacts all of the A contacts and B contacts were there, but nothing else.  How do I get them back.

    Sorry but I'm a bit confused about what you're asking.  You seem to be indicating that you have an iCloud backup as well as a backup on your computer but it isn't clear to me what you are trying to do with them.  Can you explain this?
