ICloud and office outlook

Will Apple ever make iCloud compatible with Office Outlook?

Wrong it is a complaint on Apple. It is also a complaint on Microsoft.
I also understand that we are dealing with several different OS's. Lion, OS5+, and Exchange. I wish I could tell you what version of exchange but I am sure it is the older one. I am hopeful the company will be updating the exchange server soon but I have no say in that. My iPhone and iPad work seamlessly with it. Granted I had to be able to tell them where to find my server but I cannot do that in Apple Mail for Mac so therfore it doesn't work.
But let's get back to the main issue that is an issue by Apple and Microsoft. The fact is Apple wants people to use Apple Mail not Outlook. Microsoft wants people to use Windows on a PC then Microsoft products wherever possible. There is no reason either Apple or Microsoft want this problem fixed bottom line.
Personally I am a fan of Apple, Csound no need to try and come to defend Apple. All companies make mistakes. Maybe I am holding my keyboard wrong when I am trying to enter the information and the Bluetooth doesn't have the antenna strength. (Sarcasm) But I do see the problems they are having with the corporate world and no just using only their products is not always the answer. They are either going to have to work better with the corporate world or they will have to work better with the software that the corporate world uses.
So again I have shelled out $2650 for a bunch of stuff to convert to Apple that will not work but would all work with my old PC. I am not happy about this but I wouldn't go back to a PC either. This issue will not be resolved until Outlook either updates to support iCloud Contacts or Apple updates iCloud to support Outlook fully.

Answers to Problems With Icloud and Office 2007 Outlook?

My computer has a Windows 7, 64 bit operating system and Microsoft 2007 Office, which includes Outlook 2007 where I do most of my mail and keep my daily calendar and all my contacts. I wanted to sync my iphone 5 calendar with Microsoft's Office 2007 Outlook Calendar. I followed the instructions but it has never worked and Icloud put my original Outlook Calendar and Contacts in the deleted folder for Outlook and substituted folders called Contacts1 and Calendar1. Unfortunately, the sync with my iphone does not work properly. It did the very first time after installing icloud and itunes but thereafter all it does is upload stuff to icloud and additions made in my Office 2007 Outlook calendar since the first sync do not get transferred to my iphone calendar. After numerous attempts to make this work I decided to just forget about trying to sync with icloud so I deleted it from my system along with itunes and now i am left with the icloud calendar1 and contacts1 in Outlook 2007. I am unable to transfer my icloud calendar entries back to the original Outlook 2007 calendar the same for contacts. Can anyone tell me how to do this so I can delete the icloud folders contacts1 and calendar1 from Outlook 2007? Thanks.

Try to export them as .pst files from within Outlook (http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook-help/export-contacts-HA102919759.aspx). Then disable iCloud syncing and import the .pst backups back to Outlook.

Issue with iCloud and PC Outlook 2007 Contacts

Hey,
So I finally managed to update to iOS 5, and it's fun playing around and learning the new things, but I already got issues. Minor, but still a nuissance.
Once synced, My Outlook Calendar became duplicated, and with the slide down tab started showing double notifications.
My bigger issue is with how it's syncing with the Contacts. It emptied the Main Contact folder into an iCloud Contact folder; fine. However, the Contact Cards would sync perfectly with the original Outlook Calendar, insterting birthdays and everything. Now, any NEW birthday that I try to add to a new contact, it won't show up on the iCloud calendar, without selecting "show birthdays". I find this redundant since it now makes double birthday reminders when for those already saved from before the iOS upgrade.
Why is this happening? Why can't I just continue using the Outlook Contact cards the same way, and have them load the same way? Why can't I just add them to the iPhone contact slot, and have them show up WITHOUT selecting the birthday calendar?
Thanks.

Win 7, Outlook 2007 iPhone 4S
The major issue after reading 100's of posts is this. iCloud sync creates new contacts and calendars (populated with the Outlook current default contact and calendar info then deletes the folders-check outlook trash to recover). This works if you never use Outlook because Outlook is always using the default folders for lookups, saving, etc. and the data from those folders have been deleted.
- double clicking on an email address never finds anyone b/c its in the icloud contact folder
- accepting a calendar invitation works...but puts it in the default calendar which iCloud never looks at.
- reminders can't be used in the non-default calendar on the PC.
I think...if MS allowed you to select which file your default contacts, calendar were in...independently from your default email pst...Outlook could perform in sync with iCloud. Nutty implementation by Apple though.
I'm restoring everything back to the way it was...in addition now I'm also getting duplicate appointments on the iPhone (home, office).

2013 Home and Office Outlook - Pop email incoming email disappear

I have Microsoft Office Home and Business 2013 (current updates) using the same email POP account for over three years.
For weeks, I’ve seen incoming email disappear. My Desktop Alert shows new email incoming then it disappears from the inbox.
I know these emails were sent to me because my co-workers have emails that show me cc’ed that I did not receive.
Where are these disappearing emails going or are they being rejected?
I was forced to perform the 8.1 upgrade, no impact on Outlook
I checked and have all Office updates current
I’ve checked my other device’s email apps and those emails were not located there.
I’ve checked my Outlook Options: Conversation clean up: added
/checked – Do not move unread messages
I have Disabled all:
Add-ins,
Rules and Alerts, no folders
No security add-ins
Not sure on - View and manage Microsoft Office Add-ins

This may be caused by different reasons, but the most likely reason is on the custom setting. To help you investigate what happened to your messages, we'll walk you through a step-by-step process to eliminate possible causes of your missing messages:
Step1: Check web server - Please check your web serve to see if those missing messages are out there.
Step2: Search all messages - Try to search the messages that are missing. Remember to click
All Mailboxes button before searching.
Step3: Check junk mail setting - They are probably set to delete mail rather than send it to the
Junk E-Mail folder.
Step4: View filter - Please check your View filter
to see if you have set any filter rules to the incoming mails.
Step5: Forwarding settings - Please check in Account settings dialog to see if you have changed the default deliver location of your account.
Please follow above steps to see if you can find your missing data.

Hello raffeph,
I was looking into what may be casing this issue and found a bit of info that may be helpful. In an article called iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Calendar found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3999
I recommend starting here:
Turn iCloud Calendar off and back on:
Close Outlook.
Open the Windows Control Panel:
In Windows 8, move the pointer to the upper-right corner of the screen to show the Charms bar, click the Search charm, and then click the iCloud Control Panel on the left.
In Windows 7 and Vista, choose Start menu > All Programs > iCloud > iCloud.
Remove the checkmark in the checkbox next to Mail, Contacts, Calendars & Tasks, and click Apply. Wait a few seconds, then replace the checkmark, and click Apply.
Open Outlook and test to see if the issue has been resolved.
Ensure the iCloud Outlook Add-in is active within Outlook.
Outlook 2010:
Open Outlook 2010.
Click the File menu.
Click Options in the left panel of the Outlook window.
Click Add-Ins in the left panel of the Outlook Options window.
Look at the list of add-ins beneath "Active Application Add-Ins" and verify that the "iCloud Outlook Add-in" is listed.
For Outlook 2007, follow these steps to verify the iCloud Outlook Add-in is active
Open Outlook 2007.
From the Tools menu, choose Trust Center.
Select Add-ins from the left column.
Look at the list of add-ins beneath "Active Application Add-Ins" and verify that the "iCloud Outlook Add-in" is listed.
For additional information about managing Add-ins with Microsoft Outlook, see this Microsoft support document.
Restart your computer. This may sound simple, but it does reinitialize your network and application settings and can frequently resolve issues.
All the best,
Sterling

ICloud and Office Mac 2011 Sending Mail

Whenever i send an e-mail in Outlook 2011 with my iCloud account as the default, I get an error message that says 5.7.0 No AUTH command has been given.
How do i fix this problem?
Harry Goodell

Hi Chiefgse,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. It sounds like it may be a settings issue. I would review the settings for the account to make sure they reflect the settings in this article:
iCloud: Mail server information
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864
SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
SSL Required: Yes
Port: 587
SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
Password: Your iCloud password
Note: If you receive errors using SSL, try using TLS instead. SSL is required for both IMAP and SMTP connection with iCloud. POP is not supported by iCloud.
For more information on how to use this information with your email application, consult your application's documentation.
Cheers,
- Ari

ICloud and Outlook Mail on the iPhone 4

I just downloaded iCloud and my Outlook Mail does not synch up. I do not use a "me.com" address, I use a "verizon.net" email address. Right now I have to delete on both the iPhone as well as the Outlook inbox on my PC. In other words, if I delete on the phone, it does not delete in my inbox and vice versa. Is causing me much time to open and delete e-mails twice. Must I have a "me.com" email address? I use Windows 7 and Microsoft Office 2010.
Thanks.

Must I have a "me.com" email address ?
Yes.

Can I sync my iCloud calendar with Outlook 365? I upgraded from Office 2010 and now it doesn't sync.

I upgraded from Outlook 2010, and now it doesn't update in Outlook 365. Thinking I can't do it, and it's a pity, cause I want it all to integrate on phone and on desktop. I'm running Windows 7 and Office 365. The iCloud app works fine with Internet Explorer, but I can't get the calendar to update. Any suggestions?

Can't I just set up Exchange as one of my calendars in ical?
Only if you're running Snow Leopard and your employer will allow access (different than iPhone/mobile device access, so most likely not), but not needed - keep reading.
Is it really true that I have to choose between syncing Exchange with work server OR syncing iCal with personal Macbook?
No. It was true, but with the v3.0 software that changed - you can now sync your Exchange contacts and calendar over the air, and your Address Book and iCal via iTunes over the docking cable.
What is the best work around for this?
None needed. When you set up the exchange account, and choose to turn on syncing of contacts and calendars, you will be prompted to remove all other data, or keep it on the iPhone. Choose the keep option. Note that in that case, your personal data will not be uploaded to the Exchange server - the iPhone keeps them separate (although you can choose to view them in a merged fashion).
I have this set up on my phone (Exchange calendar along side personal and other calendars from iCal). Same for contacts. Works great.

I had a similiar problem, with my multiple devices. I open iTunes and when all devices were connected I went to the info section on each device. Under info I checked the sync calandars. Under that I click all calanders. I then did the apply in low right. I then did the sync function and it fixed it for me. You have to do this for each device.
I also checked the device (ipad,Iphone) themselves and change the calander selection to NO Catagory. Hope this helps.

I have set up iTunes and iCloud with my iPhone 4S but have not been able to get information from the manual for transferring contacts from Microsoft Office Outlook to my phone contacts. Is this possible and, if so, how are the contacts transferred?

I have set up iTunes and iCloud with my computer and my iPhone 4S but have not been able to determine whether contacts on Microsoft Office Outlook can be transferred from the pc computer to the phone. Is transfer possible using iTunes or iCloud or other method to transfer the contacts. If so, what are the steps for making the transfer successful.

Thank you Thank you!! Quickest response EVER on a help community!! Awesome!!

After updating to iCloud and setting up iCal sync the program deleted all my Outlook events and cleared them from my office's server. How do I now sync my still existing iCal events back to Outlook for syncing with my office.

How can I get my Outlook information that was moved to iCal back onto my Outlook calendar for syncing with my office's exchange service?

Problem solved I think. I exported my iCloud Calendar file in Outlook to Google Calendar which in turned re-populated my Outlook default calendar. This was picked up by the exchange and sent to all computers in the office.
I had hoped that iCloud, and its calendaring abilities, would remove my need for Google calendar to serve as an exchange between my iPad, iPhone and Outlook on PC (and with it connection to my staff). However, it seems that iCloud is simply not to that point yet. Hopefully Apple will begin to implement some of the processes Google Sync utilizies, specifically the ability for Sync to keep a PC running Outlook and an Android based phone in near-real-time sync. It seems that as of yet Apple has not considered the cross-platform issues of the iPhone being in wide-use in business/commercial settings with PCs running Outlook (and said PC being networked to staff, coworkers, etc...).

Am trying to connect my icloud to my outlook account. Icloud says I have two versions of Outlook running. I installed Outlook 2013 but Outlook 2010 is a trial version and I can't seem to be able to delete it without deleting all of Windows Office 2010

You will have to remove one of the two versions, which one is your choice.

Hi petro_jemes,
Just a little claritification, you need to add the value to the variable "[string]$ou", and also change the language in the variable "$emailbody" in the function "Get-ADUserPasswordExpirationDate".
I hope this helps.

Try going through the troubleshooting steps listed under "Troubleshooting on Microsoft Windows (Microsoft Outlook)" in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3999. In particular, make sure the iCloud Outlook add-in is active within Outlook.
