I deleted iCloud from my Windows 8 PC...now having trouble getting my calendar and contacts restored...

how to restore Outlook contacts and calendar after deleting iCloud

You need to boot from an OS X installer disc compatible with this model's hardware or you must connect it by Target Disk Mode - Target Disk Mode - so you can re-partition and reformat the hard drive before you can install Mountain Lion on it or any other version of OS X. Here's the process:
Drive Partition and Format
1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
If you are preparing an external or a non-startup drive, then open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.

  • TS3276 I'm now having trouble getting mac mail to work on my mac. The mobile me account works great on iphone and ipad but it won't connect to my mail account. Password is correct. What else can I do? Using OS10.68

    HI,
    The Apple IDs from @mac.com and @me.com (Older MobileMe and more recent iCloud Names) are also Valid AIM Screen names.
    Any other sort of Apple ID is not a Valid AIM Name.
    A Google ID that is associated with Google Mail Account (And has "Talk" enable on your Google Settings) can be used in iChat as  Jabber Name/ID.  (Google Run  Jabber server).
    Jabber and AIM are different IM Services and it is not easy or straight forward to add Buddies from one Service to the Buddy List of another.  (As A Starting point consider it "impossible")
    iChat 4 and 5 have links to the registration page of @Mac.com here with a "Get an iChat Account" button in the add (Account) screen  (You select @mac.com or MobileMe and then press the Button - Choosing AIM and then pressing the button used to lead to the AIM registration page but AIM moved their page).
    Apple IDs can be any valid email (or an @mac.com or iCloud registration)
    Therefore you could make a Google ID into an Apple ID.
    However this will not be a valid AIM Screen Name the way @mac.com or MobileMe/iCloud ones are.

  • Should you get a separate iCloud account for each family member if you are sharing calendars and contacts?

    My husband got his first iPhone. We are now an Apple Family. We share contacts and calendar with our phones and computers. Is one iCloud account ok or should he get his own account? If he gets his own account, would it conflict with mine?

    3 accounts.
    1 for your you
    1 for your husband
    1 for shared purchases (the original if it already has purchases, as purchased content is signed with the Apple ID that it was purchased with, so it cannot be transferred to a different account).
    The individual account are for Messages, FaceTime, iCloud backup, bookmarks, etc...
    Settings -> iCloud
    Settings -> Mail (if you use your Apple ID for you mail)
    Settings -> Messages
    Settings -> FaceTime
    Settings -> Game Center
    The shared account is for purchases
    Settings -> iTunes & App Store
    Settings -> Music -> Home Sharing
    Settings -> Video -> Home Sharing

  • ICloud on PC has imported/exported massive duplicates in Outlook Calendar and Contacts?

    I am a PC Office 07 user:  Why has iCloud deleted (upon install) all of my current OUTLOOK data (specifically Calendar & Contacts), and then apparently imported copies from multiple old backup files (groups) --- creating massive duplicates (and in some cases 4 or 5 copies) of the old information?  If you can help me regain or show the current data only, and ignore the older groups of backup, etc., that would be extremely helpful.
    Before trying to utilize iCloud, everything was succint and fine.  Now, I have huge amounts of repetitive and outdated data on my phone and laptop PC.

    Same problem here. Just set up icloud to sync calenders to Ouloook 2010 and I now have multiple calenders including a conflicts calendar which just seems to duplicate everything, but the crucial 'default' calendar is now empty. Tried various things copying calendars around but no joy and can't see any documentation in Outlook or iCloud

  • Replaced iMac Hard Drive, now having trouble getting TM back working

    The drive on my iMac failed and was replaced. I used Migration Assistant to get data from my Time Machine backups (on 1TB Time Capsule) to the new drive--no problems! (Time Capsule is connected to my iMac by Ethernet as the wireless part of TC doesn't work anymore.) Now I'm trying to get Time Machine back working with this new drive and would like to continue from the backups I have. However, for several hours all it has done is cycle through Calculating Changes to Cleaning Up multiple times. When I look at the TM prefs, it knows the oldest backup was on Feb 28 before the drive starting failing, so I know it's seeing the backups on the TC. I believe I read that because of the new drive the first backup would be a full backup. However, for several hours all it has done is cycle through Calculating Changes to Cleaning Up multiple times.
    I've been reading through some of the discussions and the tips at top of page, but am still not sure what to do. Is there something I can do to get this working from where I left off, or am I just going to have to reformat the TC and start over?
    Thanks for any help/suggestions.

    On a Time Capsule, deleting a lot of old backups is an excruciatingly slow process.
    TM must delete the oldest backup, dismount the sparse bundle, compact the sparse bundle, then mount it again to see if it's made enough room. This can go on (as you see) for a very long time, even via Ethernet.
    Since Time Machine will never delete the last remaining backup, it needs twice the space of the data it's backing-up, plus 20% temporarily for workspace. So if your TC isn't 220% the size of the data on your system, the backup will (eventually) fail, and you'll have no choice but to delete the sparse bundle.
    On the other hand, if it's considerably larger than that, you can speed the process up a bit by manually deleting several old backups at a time, then compacting the sparse bundle yourself, per #12 in the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip,* also at the top of this forum.
    Click here to download the +Time Machine Buddy+ widget. It shows the messages from your logs for one TM backup run at a time, in a small window. That will show how much space it needs, and how much is currently available, so you can determine how to proceed.

  • TS3999 Help! Trouble with my calendar and icloud.

    I am having trouble with my calendar and icloud.
    Customers send me meeting invites and I can accept them no problem. But if they subsequently change the date or time I get an error message:
    Access to “appointment name” in “Home” in account “iCloud” is not permitted.
    The server responded:
    “403”
    to operation CalDAVWriteEntityQueueableOperation
    sometimes the time changes in my calendar, sometimes it doesn't, and my customers keep getting messages back from icloud 'accepting' the original date, not the changed date!!
    It is driving me an my clients crazy!  any help would be appreciated.

    I had a problem specific to the Calendar on web-based Firefox (PC) Was asked for a separate sign-in I'd never seen before which didn't work. I resolved this by signing out, signing in again.

  • ********Battery back to Normal - Deleting iCloud from iPhone

    ******** Deleting iCloud from iPhone helped ***********
    iCloud is indeed an excellent feature, no denying that. My 3 colleagues too had the same issue, ios5 with iPhone 4 on AT&T , we checked when on 3G( with wifi being turned off)  and nothing being running on the phone, the cellular data usage keeps increasing. Phone keeps sending and receiving data on AT&T for no apparent reason. They too deleted the iCloud account and the sending and receiving of data just stopped.
    ****** This draining of data happens only when connected to 3G ******.
    Turning off/ Deleting icloud account on my iphone helped in *my case*. I am not generalizing here but *if possible* give this option a try, One can always turn on/sign back in the icloud account back and continue using the iphone as before. Don't know if it's AT&T issue or iCloud issue.
    If and when this is fixed I do plan to move back to iCloud but for now I am glad I found the problem at least in mine and my other colleague's phone and the battery life of course returned to normal. If you are connected to wifi all the time you will never know this issue.
    These are the steps to check if iCloud is a issue:
    1. Turn off wifi and make sure you are connected to 3G (my case it's AT&T)
    2. Reset usage statistics to 0 bytes.
    3. check back usage statistics in 5-10 seconds. please note the the numbers don't refresh automatically.  Go back to "general" and then back to usage. Give this a try for 1-2 min. If indeed iCloud is the issue you will see the usage increase of the cellular data.
    4. Delete iCloud account( you can always sign back in and everything would work like before ) .
    5. Reset usage statistics to 0 bytes. You will see the data drain for 10-20 seconds max and then stopped completely.
    6. Reset it back to 0 bytes. And you will see it goes back up to 1 Kb and then stops completely.
    I was able to replicate this behavior in all the 4 iPhones I saw.
    Only option for me is to wait for apple to fix this hopefully in the next version.
    Best luck.

    its your contacts sync.  iCloud has an issue with contacts synching that drains the battery.  You will note that your phone has a spiraling synching symbol at the top of the screen next to the Wifi icon - indicates a constant attept to sync your Contacts.   Connect to iCloud and make sure it syncs and uploads all contacts to the iCloud.  Back up your contacts on your computer anyway or back up your iPhone data including your Contacts, turn off Contacts sync in your iCloud settings and allow contacts to be deleted off your phone.  Then turn iCloud sync for Contacts back on and allow it to merge data with the cloud.  BOOM - Fixed.

  • How do you delete icloud from your iphone

  • I would like to know how to DELETE icloud from my iMAC desk top. Would it automrically have synced with my wife's I pad, and other wireless devices, or is it all seperate

    Can anyone help me out ?
    I would like to get info on how to DELETE
    iCLOUD from my desk top MAC.
    Would it already have synced to the iPAD?
    Apple does not give any info on the iCLOUD,
    in a proper way to DELETE..for that matter,
    I can't even find "SETTINGS" on my Mac,
    let alone settings for iCLOUD.Any info
    would be better than what Apple gives up.
    Apple is useless when trying to get any information!

    You have to search with some patience and you will find all the informations on the Apple support pages and here in this forum.
    You find i Cloud in SAFARI at www.icloud.com and set as you like.
    Usually iCloud sincs all the devices which have the same AppleID.
    If you wish to use devices for different persons you need to give them different AplleID and on the MAC create different User Accounts. Each will be fully separate.
    Or you can go to settings (settings are to be found under the apple icon on top left of the screen) and from there open Sistem Preferences and iCloud.

  • How do I uninstall iCloud from my Windows 7 PC?  It isn't in the list of programs, but is in the list of Features and Programs.

    I hope someone can help me to remove iCloud from my Windows 7 PC.  For some reason I can't use it, because I can't login.  No matter what I do to reset my info, it won't allow me in.  I want it gone, for it is to much of a hasel.  It isn't listed in Features and Programs, but is in the liste in the Control Panel.

    I installed I cloud on my windows & Pro desktop PC.  I went into Programs and deinstalled the application.  WHen I open Internet Explorer.....Kaspersky opens a green surround window and takes me to www.icloud.com!   I no longer have the applications installed!
    If I close the window Kaspersky opened and go the the web address, and click on a button to download an audio interview, the site wants to ONLY dowload i-tunes version of the audio file.
    I deinstalled i-tunes and still the site only want to send me the i-turnes version of the audio file!!!
    I do not want to be constantly bothered by Kaspersky opening the green surround Internet Explore window and taking me to www.icloud.com.   I do not want to have web sites only offering to send me i-tune audio files.
    For both my I-pad Air and my I-pod Ver 5 I have gone into settings -icloud and gone to the bottom of the list and turned icloud off.
    My problem is in on my desktop PC.   I do not want to have Kaspersky generate the green surround window and take me to www.icloud.com.     
    Will someone PLEASE help me.  I so wish I had never installed Icloud.
    thank you.

    I would remove the email account from mail and then set it up again.
    If your are able to long I via owa though without the auto fill, then we already know the user name and password are correct.
    Let me know if that works.
