I want to get rid of iCloud. How do I get my Outlook back to how it used to be?

I realize it may be a wonderful thing for some people, but it's really not working for business application, and it doesnt integrate with Outlook very well.
I've used iCloud now for about a month.   I've weighed out the pro's and con's, and frankly, I found no pro's to continue using it.  My old Outlook calendars (work & personal), have now been changed to "work in iCloud" and "personal in iCloud".  Same as my contacts.  How do I get my contacts and calendars to NOT be in iCloud anymore?  
What do I have to do to get iCloud out of my computer, iPhone, and iPad?  I'm sure I'll need to uninstall it from my computer, and go through my phone and iTunes settings....  Can someone explain to me so I dont delete everything in the process?
I sync to my work PC on Windows 7, with Outlook 2007. 
thanks!!

sorry for the frustration, but this is not turning out to be very good for business application.  I have no error's using it other than it doesnt work with Outlook.  
There are a lot of qwarks that are extremely bothersome.  For example, today, I wanted to delete a contact in my work address book.  I cant get it to delete.  Tried to delete it three times, and then an hour later, it appears in my personal address book. 
Then my boss sends me a calendar invitation, and it doesnt appear on my calendar.  I received 3 emails saying he sent me a calendar invitation, but it's not there.  And everytime I get a calendar invitation, I get 3 emails about it.  2 from iCloud, and 1 from Outlook.  How do I move my "Calendar in iCloud" to a new Calendar that is not in iCloud?  I dont want to lose all my data.
There's more to it than just restoring the backup.  Everything is set up to go through iCloud now.  how do i turn it off and get it out of my phone and ipad, and everything? off my computer?

  • How to get rid of iCloud but save contacts (iPhone4)?

    I want to get rid of iCloud for good.  However, on my iPhone 4, if I turn off "contacts" under the iCloud settings, all of my contacts disappear, which makes perfect sense.
    So, how do I *save* these contacts, separately from iCloud?
    And on a related note, but probably a separate post:  How do I merge these saved iPhone contacts with my Gmail contacts?
    iPhone4
    OS 5.1.1  (I don't have space for OS6)

    I you just want to do contacts open settings>icloud and turn contacts off, you will be asked if you want to keep copies on your phone when you do.
    Alternatively you can use the delete account button, it will let you know that it is going to delete any icloud related content, after you tap delete you will be asked if you want to keep a copy of your info on your device.

    Uninstalling Software: The Basics
    Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash.  Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder.  Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space.  If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
    Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application.  In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
    Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder.  You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder.  You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder.  Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
    Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item.  Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder.  Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences.  Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab.  Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
    Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS.  Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
    If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term.  Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default.  You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, EasyFind, instead.
    Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder.  Usually with the same name as the program or the developer.  The item generally has a ".pkg" extension.  Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
    There are many utilities that can uninstall applications.  Here is a selection:
        1. AppZapper 2.0.1
        2. AppDelete 3.2.6
        3. Automaton 1.50
        4. Hazel
        5. AppCleaner 2.1.0
        6. CleanApp
        7. iTrash 1.8.2
        8. Amnesia
        9. Uninstaller 1.15.1
      10. Spring Cleaning 11.0.1

    You don't mention anything about the music files on your computer that were used to copy into iTunes. If you have moved those files to a different location on you PC you will get that error message from iTunes. This is because iTunes will look for the music files in the original location that they came from on your PC when they were copied. If this is the case you have to tell iTunes to look in the new location for the music files or move the music files back to the original location.

  • My iphone has calendar history for 10 years.  my icloud only shows about 6-8 weeks back.  how can i get icloud to show all the calendar events in the past that are on iphone?

    my iphone has calendar history for 10 years.  my icloud only shows about 6-8 weeks back.  how can i get icloud to show all the calendar events in the past that are on iphone?

    I encountered a similar problem when finally (and with much regret) I was obliged to migrate my MobileMe to iCloud last month.
    Many years of iCal history vanished without trace during this automated transition by Apple and iCloud then kindly synched the resulting vacuum back to iCal on my Mac.
    Fortunately, iCloud wasn’t able to decimate iCal on my other Macs because (1) they are still running Snow and (2) I had switched them off as a precaution.  Good job I did.
    My solution was to export my iCal data on one of those other Macs to a backup file – then I imported that backup file into my Lion-updated Mac’s iCal. That restored all the iCloud-deleted iCal data back on to my Mac and this was promptly synched automatically to my Calendar on iCloud.  So now it’s all there and showing.
    Perhaps you could do something similar?  In the meantime, be very careful not to let iCloud’s amnesia get synched to your iPhone (and other devices).
    Experience has taught me never to trust an “upgrade” until it is proven to be working correctly and always to keep in reserve another Mac with a properly-functioning system and all synching to it switched off...

  • TS3274 When I turn on my iPad I get this message:  "iCloud Backup  -  This iPad hasn't been backed up in 2 weeks.  Backups happen when this iPad is plugged in, locked, and connected to Wi-Fi."  It has rendered my iPad useless as I cannot even unlock it.

    When I turn on my iPad I get this message:  "iCloud Backup  -  This iPad hasn't been backed up in 2 weeks.  Backups happen when this iPad is plugged in, locked, and connected to Wi-Fi."  It has rendered my iPad useless as I cannot even unlock it, and it shuts down within a few seconds of turning it on.  Is there any way to clear this?

    Try this now.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • How do I get rid of iCloud on my Windows computer?

    So I downloaded the new version of iTunes onto my Windows P.C. After about a month of use, some crappy thing called iCloud mysteriously entered my computer.  I did not download it, nor did any of my family.  It was not there one day and the next it was.  iCloud stole all of my iTunes music, deleted the stuff not from the iTunes Store and then decided it would engrain itself into my computer so now I can't get rid of it.  I already looked at programs and it is not in there so I can't delete it from my computer.  I went to the iCloud website and looked around there and I couldn't even find my music there, let alone delete the dang thing.  iCloud also deletes the music I manually download from CD's; I download the music, it is in iTunes, then I exit iTunes and get back in and that music is gone.  This is very, very frustrating and strange.  Anybody got any answers? 
                                                                                                                   Thanks!  JG14

    Gotcha..on a few things. I get that it has to be downloaded (you would think). I didnt download it, but I did so click on the newer version of the itunes. I did have all my music backed up..and put it back rightly so where it belonged in itunes, when I reset. I went to iCloud and checked to see if I could actually sign in..nothing. What the? I do have an apple id account,(dont know if that matters), so Im assuming that I dont have an account with iCloud, yet there was this little cloud in front of all my music. Just within the last couple of weeks.  When I tryed to play a song, it would say downloading from store. When I plugged in my ipod to sync, it would ask me to reset. Along with my son's ipod. GRRR. I would have to click on any and every single one I wanted, to get it on to the ipod. Imported cd's disappeared completely when I logged out, along with any playlist I made..just like what happed with our friend JG14.  Very confusing ****. I agree with you, that it has to be some sort of download or sign in or something, but this really had me stumped too. I admit that things pop up, you might accidently click n them, with Itunes or whatever one gets for their device, but this was unreal. In my research, Ive discovered that there are quite a few complaints for this iCloud business, if your not connected to internet, you cant play your stuff. I know you dont have to pay again, but thats still a pain. Its easy to disable on a phone (apparantly). But really Csound1, to disable iCloud and risk losing what you ALREADY had?.. I already had all my stuff, before that unfriendly little cloud. maybe, Ive become electronically spoiled, I dont like having to re-download everytime. Yuck and Ick. Thanks for answering me btw.
