I can't find a preference to keep mail on the server as it's deleted on individual devices. We have 4 Mac devices and a PC running W8 with the iCloud control panel. How can we keepthe mail on the server as it is deleted from the individual devices?

How do I keep mail on the server as it is deleted on individaul devices? We have 4 Apple devices and a W8 laptop. We sort and read mail on all of them, but have found that deleting mail on one deletes it on all of them.

Yahoo and Gmail both support POP if you wish.
All modern email systems are Imap (because it supports multiple and mobile devices)
I do not recommend POP under any circumstances, it can not be synchronized so unless you do not use Mobile devices at all (iPhones etc) it is useless.
Yahoo users (search this site) have endless problems and Gmail is highly non-standard. Expect a learning curve for that one.
Are you short of server space, why do you need to do this rather retrograde step?

Why do I keep getting a "you can not sign in because of server error" when I try to turn on my icloud control panel from my Windows 7 PC?
I'm able to log in from my browser, why not from control panel?

Hello, Sameh.tolba.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I would recommend going through the troubleshooting steps in the two articles below when experiencing this issue.

TS3988 where does iCloud Control Panel keep its error logs

I have a problem with my iCloud control Panel.
There is a small yellow triangle with an exclamation mark, indicating there is some sort of error, but there is absolutely no way of finding out what the error is. I have looked everywhere on my system for anything resembling an error log for iCloud Control Panel yet i havent found a thing.
Does anyone here know where it might be located and how i can find out what the error is to fix it

Hi, Korgun. Your short version is a little too short and your long version much too complicated for me to be certain I understand your situation correctly, but I'll take a shot.
Every volume (a hard drive, or a partition on a hard drive, or a CD, DVD, etc.) that has OS 9 installed on it contains an invisible Desktop Folder, and in that folder are all the items that appear on the desktop when you boot into OS 9, except your hard drive and the Trash.
The fact that you can't boot to either OS on your old drive suggests that its directory may be damaged, in which case it wouldn't be surprising if, in addition to being unable to boot to it, you also couldn't find some things on it. If that drive mounts normally on the desktop when you boot into OS X on the other drive, use the Repair Disk function in Disk Utility (open the copy of DU on the good drive after making sure nothing is running on the bad one) to try to fix the directory on the bad drive. Run the Repair Disk routine repeatedly until you've gotten two successive "Appears OK" verdicts. Assuming DU is successful, you should then be able to double-click the Desktop folder on the repaired drive and access all the files that are on that drive's OS 9 desktop.
If I've misunderstood your situation, my apologies, and would you please try to clarify matters?

How To Uninstall iCloud Control Panel for PC?

Hi all,
I'd downloaded and installed 'iCloud Control Panel'. I wasn't impressed by it, I attempted to uninstall it from the "Uninstall a Program" (from Control Panel). Just to find out, would there be any security loophole if we were to uninstall 'iCloud Control Panel'? Would there be any folder related to iCloud in the 'Program' folder within the C Drive that I need to clear/delete?
Also, is icloud.com the place to access the stored data?
Thank you.

You have to SIGNOUT first from ICloud. Then you can uninstall it by going to the control panel in Windows and then you have the one which permits to remove program. However, a lot and I mean of lot of stuff is left behind. I have done the operation a few times and I had to use GHOST to bring back my machine to a state before doing those operation. I bought a commercial uninstaller to help and even then there is so much &_?)))&&& left it is a shame. I had to go directly into the Registry to finally get rid of the ICloud Control Panel appearing despite the fact it let to nothing.
I wonder why Apple does not provide a true uninstaller to totally clean the machine.

I install iCloud Control Panel it says Application not found

I've installed iCloud Control Panel off every browser. Every time it shows up in the Control Panel with no logo in the icon. When I click it says "application not found". When I go to Control Panel/Networking and Sharing I get the same results.
I have no iCloud icon in iTunes either. Just iCloud Match. However before I found out my iCloud Control Panel wasn't working I seemed to be able to upload my music from my PC (windows 7 64) iTunes. I know because they showed up on my iPad. But then I have another problem. I can't set the ipad to download them all at once. I'm doing it one at a time and then it freezes. One at a time for over 3000 songs *****!
So how does this work? I have been searching the internet and forum for hours with no results. I see many ppl having the same problem but in the forum THERE ARE NO REPLIES ON ANY POSTS. Not even ones posted in 2011. Does any administrator read this stuff?

This is an Apple user to user forum, so the answer to your question is no, however as you are having a Windows issue it might help ypu to post in the Microsoft forums in addition to posting here.
Beyond that do the usual Windows things (start in safe mode etc) to troubleshoot.

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)

ICloud Control Panel will not open - Windows 7

I bought an iPhone 4s today and just installed the iCloud on my Windows 7 machine. When I first installed iCloud the iCloud Control Panel opened fine, but since then I cannot open it. I can click on the control panel icon but nothing happens. Same for

I have this exact problem, when I try to sign in to icloud control panel it just hangs. I read on one of the other forums that it is something to do with the user profile on the PC and using another user id sometimes works. Interesting thing is if I use the 'Guest' sign in facility on my PC it allows me to sign on to icloud control panel. Still trying to establish what is different in the 2 user profiles?

How do i remove the settings and preferences of the iCloud Control Panel?

I had problems with my Office 365 (Outlook 2013) and making it work with iCloud. I repaired the install of my office 2013, but the iCloud Control Panel keeps giving me an error as it thinks the icloud integration for Outlook 2013 is still installed....which it isnt.
I cannot revert to the setting i had with only Photostream active.
The only solution was to uninstall the iCloud Control Panel. I tried deleting some files from users->roaming->apple, which looked like preference files. But after reinstalling iCloud Control Panel, it immediately opened the old setting which it remembered somehow and uninstalling didnt deletet, stating the faulty Office connection is active...which it isnt.
Pity i cant even now use photostream, to have my images on my desktop. I know i should buy a mac..where you can jus simply delete preference files from the user library. But does anyone know how to really delete every install history of the iCloud Control Panel on a pc. So i can do a clean install and start using photostream again
Any help is much appreciated

thank you for taking the time to reply to my issue. was there something i did that caused this to happen and if so, can i undo it? a second problem has now surfaced; i cannot get my firefox to load. i tried the suggestion in an article on this site i.e., to bring up the Task Manager and end the process for firefox.exe so i can uninstall/reinstall the firefox application. this does not work for me. HELP! i'd much rather use firefox than explorer.

turn your ipad off by holding the sleep wake button for 5 seconds and slide to turn off then turn it back on and the apps should be finished and if the apps didnt finish just redownload them

How can I Use the iCloud Control Panel to pick a new folder

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.

I downloaded the iCloud control panel on my PC but can't sign in - message says "This apple ID is valid but not an iCloud account. I've tried the account set up several times but it keeps just spinning me in circles, asking me to sign in and then I get the same message again.

I can't contact customer support because I have a PC and there is a serial number of an apple device required.Can anyone help please?

You can't setup (create) an iCloud account using a PC. You must use an Apple device, a Mac or an iPhone etc. Once you have created an account you can sign in from your PC.

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."
