ICloud Add-in Keeps Disabling Itself in Outlook 2013

I have installed and synced the iCloud add-in with Microsoft Outlook 2013 (32-bit) on my Windows 8 (64-bit) desktop. It has worked reliably for more than one year, reliably syncing data between my PC, "the cloud" and my iPhone 4s. A few days ago, I noticed that the add-in was not enabled in Outlook. I enabled it via "file", "Options", "Add-ins" in Outlook and it then worked just fine. However, each time I closed Outlook and re-opened it, the add-in had once again been disabled and had to be manually enabled again.
I have uninstalled iCloud, "repaired" Outlook, re-installed iCloud and the situation has not resolved itself. I have now gotten used to the hassle of manually enabling the add-in each time I open Outlook, but I would obviously prefer to get things operating properly.
An suggestions how to solve this issue?

I have had this issue on three separate PCs. It's maddening but I have found a solution that works (at least on my PCs). I fixed it with this tip I picked up in another forum. Here are the steps:
1 Connect to Outlook 2013 as Administrator (right click Outlook icon and select 'Run as Administrator')
2 Disable Icloud Addin (In Outlook Options)
3 Close Outlook and restart PC
4 Run Outlook 2013 as Administrator
5 Reactivate Icloud Addin
6 Close Outlook 2013
7 Restarted Outlook 2013 as normal User
Have had no issues since. This fix worked on both Outlook 2010 (one install) and 2013 (two installs) for me. My theory is that something done in the enablement step requires actual 'Administrator' instead of delegated 'Administrator' rights.
Happy trails, I hope it works for you too!

The icloud add-in keeps disappearing on Outlook 2013. How do I fix this?

The icloud add-in keeps disappearing on Outlook 2013. I go to Add-ins and add it back in but if I close Outlook and return later, the add-in is gone and I have to add it in again. I've tried adding it in as Administrator, but it still disappears. I have removed and reinstalled icloud but this does not help. How do I fix this?

Go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Settings. Then set up the iPod with your ID and media

ICloud add-in is not showing in outlook

iCloud add-in is not showing in outlook after I installed iCloud control panel. I don't see the refresh button in outlook so my contacts are not syncing. I'm using win 7 ultimate with outlook 2007. I even tried with outlook 2010 and iCloud would not even see that outlook was installed on the computer. I really looked all over the web but can't find anyone with a similar problem.
Can anyone help?

I had this problem and have just now solved it. Here is what I did.
My system is Win 7 Ultimate with Outlook 2013 64 Bit.
1. Unchecked the tick in front of "Mail, Contacts, Calenders and Tasks" in the iCloud Control Panel
2. Signed out of the iCloud Control Panel
3. Uninstalled the control panel
4. Rebooted
5. Access the "Mail" applet in the Windows 7 Control Panel
6. Clicked the "Show Profiles" button
7. Clicked on the "Add..." button and created a new profile
8. I set this "New" profile as the default one by selecting "Always use this profile" and picking the new profile just created
9. Downloaded the iCloud control panel and reinstalled it
10. Let the iCloud Control Panel do its thing.
11. Setup your me.com or icloud.com address when prompted
12. Start up Outlook
13. iCloud will start up and setup the Outlook System to work with iCloud
14. Problem Solved
15. Add all your other email accounts now

ICloud Control Panel 2.1.2 causes Outlook 2013 to crash

Does iCloud Control Panel 2.1.2 support Outlook 2013?
If not, when will it?

Thanks all.
Was checking to see if the issue Samorren has discovered in the following post might have been in play for you:
iTunes 11.1.4.62 freezes while syncing with Outlook
(Similar issues can hit iTunes and the iCloud machinery, because they both use files from Apple Application Support ... hence the quick check of your situation over here.)

My ipad keeps disabling itself

My ipad has disabled itself twice for no reason. Anyone else having this problem? I haven't put in the wrong password. It just disables itself.

Weird.
I don't want to give you false confidence but try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
Hopefully you're within reasonable distance of an Apple Store. If so, make an appointment and visit the resident "Genius." Otherwise, a call to Apple might be appropriate. You're beyond the time period for free phone support BUT the iPad is still in warranty so I don't know what you'll have to say to avoid getting charged for the call. 800-275-2273 in the U.S.A. and I think Canada.

Wireless keeps disabling itself on u330p

How does it come that my wireless is soooo baad on the U330p. It seems like i'm not the only one with that problem ? I have tried the settings you guys recommended to another guy in here with the same problem. But still it keeps disabling it self and i get the message that there is a problem with the wireless device or the driver. I even have the latest drivers.

Hi,
You should try to disable the power management functions of the WIFI adapter. Go to the Device Manager (Run > execute devmgmt.msc to open) > Network Adapters > right click on your adapter and Properties > Power Management tab > uncheck Allow this computer to turn of this device to save power. Then reboot, check if the setting is still unchecked.
Worked for me.
Good luck!

Is iCloud compatible with Windows 8.1 and Outlook 2013 Ver 15.0?

I have rcently updated Windows to 8.1 and Outlook 2013 to 15.0. Now iCloud is not providing any info to the Outlook Calendar, Contacts, Tasks, Notes, etc. The error message I get is "The set of folders cannot be opened. The information store could not be opened." The info exists on iCloud and my phone.

What is missing is the iCloud (& iTunes) Outlook Add-in

Add to contacts not working in outlook 2013

I am using windows 7, and outlook 2013.
When I receive an email, I right click on the name and email of the person. It shows me the "Add to Contacts" option. When I click it, a small window opens, but there is no save option....so basically, I click on add, but nothing happens. I am
able to manually open the address book and add paste the email id there....but not able to add to contacts
Nimsun

When I click it, a small window opens, but there is no save option....
Could you please provide a screenshot of the small window opened?
Meanwhile, please try to create a new mail profile in Control Panel > Mail and then reconfigure your email account to check if the issue will be gone. See:

Only One domain controller, Remote Registry service keeps DISABLING itself. Where in the registry could this be set?

This is killing my remote management. I have 4 server 2012R2 domain controllers. Only one of them is being affected with this problem. Almost everytime I check, the remote registry service is disabled again. It seems like there is a corrupt
group policy preference that keeps on attacking during a policy refresh, but I can't imagine setting a group policy to disable this service. It is needed for our remote management. Also the IP Tunnel service is also disabling. Another strange
artifact is that when I set a Windows Firewall policy to add an exception for remote administration in a group policy to my Admin workstation, it seemed to set a firewall rule in other computers to block remote administration. I can not figure out where
else this strange Windows Firewall rule Blocking remote administration could have come from. These may be related or they may not, but they are occuring on the same domain controller. I am able to set the RemoteRegistry service to enabled and to
start it (which I have done too many times now), but it constantly is being changed back to disabled. I am searching the registry to find any invalid entries or artifacts that may be affecting these two annoying effects, but I cannot find anything yet.
Any ideas? I need to know what policies will disable the remoteregistry service OR the IPTunelling service, or where in the registry this could be set to enact this during a policy refresh. Of course, any other ideas are welcome, I have spent
several days troubleshooting this, and need to conquer this by tomorrow if possible, thank you. James

Hi,
Please type
services.msc in RUN to open Services panel, navigate to the Remote Registry service. Then open its Properties and set
Startup type: Automatic. Then please check if this issue still exist.
In addition, please refer to mlippold’s suggestion (the last reply) in following thread and configure relevant
value in RemoteRegistry registry key, then check if can help you to solve this issue.
For registry items, please back up all registry items before all operations. That will help us to avoid some unexpected issue.
Remote
Registry Service stops automatically if we do not use it above 10 minutes
By the way, did you open Event Viewer and check if find any relevant errors?
If any update, please feel free to let me know.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Justin Gu

Notes in the iCloud preferences pane keeps unchecking itself

Notes syncing between my Mac and my iPod Touch is rather faulty. Sometimes a note will be duplicated and the two copies will be slightly different, and my iPod Touch can see both copies but my Mac can only see one; odd stuff. I checked System Preferences>iCloud and surprisingly found that Notes was unchecked, even though I could swear it was checked earlier. A day or two later, I checked again and Notes was unchecked again. Today, the same thing has happened again. Does anyone know what's happening?

I believe this issue has been resolved in OS X Mavericks.

I restored my ipad today and i put in the passcode and now it is not letting me in and keeps disabling itself. i have reset it twice already and nothing has worked.

i have been trying to unlock my ipad for over an hour.i restored it today and have been putting in the passcode and it won't let me in. the passcode is right.

TRY FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
1. Turn off iPad
2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
5. Release Home button.
ON COMPUTER
6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
7. Select "Restore iPad"...
Note:
1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
2. If you did not do step 4 properly, start all over again.

Outlook 2013 add-in will not stay enabled

Everytime Outlook 2013 (windows) closes the add-in for iCloud changes to disabled. The only way I can sync calendars etc, is to manually enable the iCloud Add-in EVERY TIME I open Outlook. What's up with that? It used to work perfectly. I have been through all the help screens and nothing works.

Hello EFBenzal
If you are using Windows 8.1, then check out the article below to resolve the issue of iCloud becoming disable within Outlook.
iCloud: Windows 8.1 disables iCloud updates in Outlook, or "The set of folders cannot be opened. The information store could not be opened" appears

Find My iPhone keeps disabling on its own?

Its a verizon iPhone 4S running 6.1.3. Find my iPhone under the iCloud settings keeps disabling itself. it doesnt even ask me for permission. It just randomly does it on its own. It usually turns off in a day or 2. I've seen it turn off in hours though. Could it be something I did? I've tried putting on restrictions and disable account changes but its as useful as a calculator on an english test. Has anyone had this problem?

I have a 4S as well, and am with Fido in Canada, and I'm having the same issue where my iPhone suddenly loses all of my calendar and notes information. My "find my phone" feature disables on its own as well. I still have my contacts, and everything is still on icloud when I sign in using my mac, but they are deleted on my phone. Maybe it is due to large gaming (or other RAM-eating apps). Whatever the issue is, it's certainly annoying!
I've tried just backing up my phone using iTunes instead of through iCloud, but it's not as good at keeping files up to date if I lose them. I never had this issue before iOS7. I would backup through iTunes, and sync all my devices so that I wouldn't lose most of the data. Now, the data isn't lost; it's just not STAYING on my phone. Get it together, Apple. I like you a lot, but I had higher expectations from you.

Calendar updates made in iCloud &/or iPhone are not syncing with Outlook 2010.

I have reinstalled software for iCloud & iTunes. iOS 7.0.4 - iPhone.
The iCloud add-in is not visible in Outlook & doesn't download with software - any suggestions on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

i had same problem. everything worked fine backing up iphone to macbook pro and Ical until IOS 5 upgrade, then selective entries on Iphone wouldn't backup to Ical despite repeated attempts. I did what you did, turned off calander iCloud feature so it backs up only to MacBook and it seems to have solved problem.
