ICloud and Outlook 2010

So I installed the iCloud Control Panel on my Windows 7 PC and every time I select "Calendar" in the navagation menu in Outlook, I receive a notification that Outlook is "Preparing Calendar for First Use". The problem is, I get this notification EVERY time I select "Calendar". It also mucks up Windows Authentication because now I have to enter in my network credentials each time I select, "Calendar". (Which I shouldn't have to.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled bot Outlook and the iCloud Control Panel and the behavior still persists. If I simply ininstall the iCloud control panel, Outlook goes back to working fine (no authentication prompts or calendar notifications) Any ideas?

iCloud Control Panel 1.1 (March 7th 2012 rrelease)
(ALL software is up to date and fully patched)

Hi,
This was happening to me with Outlook 2007 and the iCloud Control Panel (CP). I spent days trying to get it sorted out and as usual once it worked I wasn't completely sure what exactly fixed it.
This is what I did:
1. Ensured Outlook 2007 was completely up to date with Windows Update.
2. Unchecked everything in iCloud CP.
3. Logged out of iCloud CP and when asked I removed all contacts, calendars on my PC.
4. Uninstalled iCloud CP.
5. Redownloaded and reinstalled iCloud CP.
6. Logged into iCloud via iCloud CP.
7. Checked Mail, Contacts and Calendars.
8. Didn't get the error message and now I can see all my contacts and calendar stuff from iCloud in Outlook 2007.
HTH.

I use a Win7 PC with iCloud and Outlook 2010 for syncing my calendar and contacts. I can enter data in my Outlook Calendar and it will appear in iCloud, but data entered in iCloud does not sync back to Outlook. ICloud syncs to my iphone fine both ways.

I use Win 7 PC with iCloud and Outlook 2010 for syncing my Contacts and Calendar. They have stopped syncing...mostly.
Now, appointments I enter on my local Outlook (iCloud) Calendar goes up to iCloud fine. But, data I enter on iCloud directly does not come down to my local Outlook iCloud Calendar. If I reboot the computer, the iCloud data shows up.
Also, Contacts I try to enter on my Outlook (iCloud) Contacts goes up to iCloud fine, but does not show up in my local iCloud Contacts.
All syncing works with my iPhone.
I have signed out of iCloud on PC. I have stopped syncing and re-started. No change.
I have an .aplzod folder for iCloud. I have a separate Earthlink.net.pst email account in Outlook and a me.com.pst Outlook email account (which I don't actually use) listed under Data Files.
Any help would be appreciated. Curious that Outlook will upload to iCloud but not receive downloads unless I reboot. However, rebooting does not download the missing Contacts.

Hi Jim!
You've started off with some good troubleshooting steps, so let's see if we can take this a little further and figure out what the issue is with your iCloud contacts and calendars. I have two articles here that will help you troubleshoot this issue a little further, but the troubleshooting steps for both articles are exactly the same, so I will lay those out for you here:
Note: When using iCloud Control Panel 2.0 and later, iCloud Calendar event descriptions in Outlook 2010 do not support text formatting (bold, italics, or underline), HTML, images, or attachments. The contextual (right-click) menu has also been disabled.
If you are having trouble with a PC (with Outlook 2007 or 2010) and iCloud Calendar, try each of these steps, testing after each to see if the issue is resolved:
Verify that you are using a Windows configuration that is supported by iCloud. For more information, see iCloud system requirements.
When enabling Calendars in the iCloud Control Panel, part of the setup process is to copy your Calendars data from the default Outlook ".pst" file to iCloud, and then remove the Calendars from the ".pst" file by placing them in the Deleted Items folder in Outlook. The Calendars data is then stored in the iCloud data set within Outlook so that changes can be pushed to and from Outlook by iCloud. Be sure you are looking for your data within the iCloud dataset within Outlook after enabling Calendars in the iCloud Control Panel. The deleted files can be seen by viewing Deleted Items within your Outlook Folder List. This is not iCloud removing your data; iCloud simply copies your data into the iCloud data set and then removes the local Calendars data by placing it in the Deleted Items folder.
Make sure your computer is online. Attempt to view www.apple.com and iCloud.com. If you can't connect to the Internet, your iCloud calendars and events will not update in Outlook. Click here for more information about troubleshooting your Internet connection.
Open a secure website to test if you are online as is necessary for iCloud Calendar. This also tests if the ports 80 and 443 are accessible. Outlook requires port 443 access to iCloud in order to push and pull updates to and from the iCloud Calendar servers.
Verify that your iCloud member name is entered into the iCloud Control Panel pane. See iCloud Setup for more information about setting up iCloud on Windows.
Completely close and reopen the iCloud Control Panel.
If you recently made changes in Outlook and they are not moving to your other devices or vice-versa, click the Refresh button in Outlook.
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.

ICloud and Outlook 2010: "Your setup couldn't be started because of an unexpected error". Any ideas?

Hi,
It looks like iCloud has a problem with Outlook 2010 - when syncing calendars. I repeatedly get the rather vague error message above when I launch the set-up, then the iCloud control panel hangs. If I wait long enough I get "The operation could not be completed".
Anyone else getting this? Seems to work find for contacts, BTW.

Icloud and outlook 2010 sync

Hey there,
at the office we use outlook 2010 and icloud control panel to sync between our calendars and our iphones to work together. the problem is when we sync outlook calendars with icloud it creates another calendar in outlook (besides the local one).
so when we get an invitaion through email our local calendar gets it (and doesn't sync with icloud and the iphone)
and when i add another meeting on my iphone it goes to my icloud calendar in outlook and not to the local one.
any way to make the local calendar on outlook to be the icloud one? or any way to merge and sync them both?
anyone?

iCloud is a seperate account (in Outlook) and it will not be the default account so invitations etc will not go to it.
The workaround is (a) dump iCloud and use Exchange or (b) dump Outlook.

Hi nprguy,
It sounds like an earlier version of the BlackBerry® Desktop Software installed on your PC may be conflicting with this installation.
I would advise uninstalling both versions of the BlackBerry Desktop Software then reinstalling the latest version.
The following KB articles should provide more information on the issue.
"The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable" when uninstalling BlackBerry Desktop Manager www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB10220
"Error 1316" InstallShield error is encountered when uninstalling or upgrading the BlackBerry Desktop Software

I just upgraded to iOS7 and started using icloud with Outlook 2010. My calendar reminders are only randomly showing up which is very frustrating. They show up on my phone however. Any suggestions on a fix?

I just upgraded to iOS7 and started using icloud with Outlook 2010. I dealt with switching over to only using icloud for my calendar, but now my calendar reminders are only randomly popping up which is very frustrating. They show up on my phone however. And under my calendar on my main page it doesn't show any appointments coming up. Any suggestions on a fix?

Hey Csound1,
Looks like we found a solution, it's Mickey Mouse but it works. After talking to two Apple Senior Advisors, this is the fix they came up with:
The first advisor after exploring it for awhile, came to the conclusion the way to get my calendars back local On my Mac with the alerts as I had then was to import the saved .ics files with my my 'dangerous email alerts' being removed then me manually re-adding them. I said that was a no go.
The second advisor, after speaking with me for awhile and trying a few things that we'd tried before said he'd do some work on his end and call me back. A couple of hours later he phoned back with a fix that I guess will have to do, his solution:
I had to go into Calendar-preferencs-accounts and create a Gmail calendar, quit and restart Calendar, I created a calendar in the gMail account. Then I was given the option in Calendar under File-New Calendar to create On my Mac local calendars. Next was to create local calendars with the same names as my iCloud calendars. Now I had to un-check all calendars but one, put Calendar in month view, command-click all the events for the given calendar and drag them to the new local calendar of the same name. I then had to repeat this for each of the calendars and for all 12 months of the year.
I'm not done yet but it seems to be working. As I said Mickey Mouse but doing the job. It seems creating another online calendar account was the only way to get the local On my Mac option, active again. What a pain in the a** this has been, I will repeat it again
iCloud is EVIL.

I purchased a new Windows 8 PC. I have used and continue to use Outlook 2010 for my calendar. With my old Windows 7 PC and Outlook 2010, my calendar sinked properly with my Iphone 5. Now with the new Windows 8 PC, it does not. Help!

I purchased a new Windows 8 PC and I use Outlook 2010 for my calendar. With my old Windows 7 PC and Outlook 2010, my calendar would sync with my Iphone 5, but with the new Windows 8 PC and Outlook 2010, it does not, and I can't figure out how to snyc them. The emails from Outlook 2010 sync, but the calendar does not. Help! Thanks.

Easy solution for restoring lost calendar informaiton, thank goodness. On your iPhone, go to settings, then to iCloud. If your Calendar selection is turned off, turn it on. Your info should restore. If your Calendar selection is turned on, then turn it off. Choose to save calendars when asked. After it shuts the Calendar off, turn it back on. Your info should be restored.
Thank you to Apple support for walking me through this. Shame on you Apple for not just telling people about this easy fix rather than making us go through all of this pain and worry.

Sync my iCal in between iPhone and Outlook 2010 on Win7

Hi,
I have an iPhone4 running iOS5.1.1 (as of today) and an iCloud account.
My iPhone calendar (iCal) is synched with iCloud calendar.
My business PC is running Win7 and Outlook 2010.
My compagny has selected Google Enterprise to provide all the mail services.
As such, I have a Google deamon running on my PC to sync my emails in between Google GMail Enterprise and Outlook 2010.
Please notice, that, due to security rules, I can not symply enter my Gmail Google Enterprise IDs on my iPhone to get it synched with GMail...
As such, to get at least my professional calendar on my iPhone iCal, I was using a cable connexion in between the PC USB port and the iPhone, and running iTunes sync.
I though it was paintfull, and I though iCloud was able to do so.
As such, I installed iCloud Dashboard and my PC and started to configure it to sync my Outlook 2010 calendar (at least) with iCloud.
I successfully entered my iCloud AppleID, and arrived on the configuration of the sync.
Despite all the tests I run (connected from the office or from home), I not able to get it working as I am always getting an error message from iCloud dashboard:
"Your configuration can not start as an unexpected event"
Any clue on what's going on?
Any idea on what I can test more?
Best Regards
Arno

yes they were set to the same timezone - which puzzled me a lot...
I lost a lot of sleep, but I can now say that I have solved the problem...
What I did was, that I un-installed microsoft office (desperate I know!) - then ran a sync with the iPhone choosing to overwrite the Calendar in the phone - as there was no calendar present - it deleted what was on the phone. Then I re-installed Microsoft office, by doing that, I didn't loose anything because the user files was still present including mail setting etc. - resynced the iPhone - and now it works...
Just can't figure out what went wrong in the first place...
thank you for your answer

TS3999 I installed ic;oud on my iphone 4s and my pc laptop ruunning windows 7 and Outlook 2010, my new calendar information is not syncling? Thoughts?

I installed iCloud on my iPhone 4S and PC running Windows 7 and Outlook 2010. My calendar is not syncing when I put in new information. Solutions?

I would say that you would want to look into the "Exchange Mode" for GMail. That would allow your iPhone to sync calendars, contacts and email with GMail just fine. Doing the same with your outlook should also then sync those same with your PC using Outlook. I've done teh iPhone side of this, but I since I don't run Lookout for my email client, I'm not sure how that will work on the PC side.

Icloud and Outlook 2013 email won't sync

The email address will not sync - error it throws up:
Task 'Synchronizing subscribed folders for [email protected]' reported error (0x800CCC0E) : 'Outlook cannot synchronize subscribed folders for [email protected] Error: Cannot connect to the server. If you continue to receive this message, contact

Hope this is enough info to assist.

TS1347 Syncing Icloud with Outlook 2010

I just upgraded to Outlook 2010 from 2007. Icloud was working great with Outlook 2007. I now get an error message when trying to open contacts in icloud in Outlook 2010 with the followin error: error-mapi was unable to load the information service. The error is followed by a long file name ending with ......\aplzod.dll, followed by Be sure the service is correctly installed and configured.Any fixes out there?

Here's what worked for me:
My me.com e-mail was set-up as IMAP, so there was nothing to lose by deleting the account from Outlook.
I went to the iCloud control panel, unchecked that I wanted to sync the following with Outlook:
Mail with Outlook
Contacts with Outlook
Calendar and Tasks with Outlook
Click Apply.
Next go to Control Panel > Mail > E-Mail Accounts, selected your "@me.com" email account, and click the Remove button.
Next, go back to the iCloud control panel and re-check each of the three checkboxes that you unchecked earlier. The iCloud control panel will go through its steps to sync with Outlook all over again.
Voila! For me, the problem was fixed.

Synching on Windows 7 (64 bit) between Palm desktop (6.2.2) and Outlook 2010

I have recently purchased a new laptop with Windows 7 (64 bit) and Outlook 2010 which I use for email, contacts and calander. I have managed by a miracle using bluetooth to synch between my Tungsten E2 and Palm desktop and know that there are no tools, as yet, to synch between my E2 and Outlook 2010. Would it work as a two stage process i.e.
1. synch desktop and outlook
2. synch desktop and E2.
If so how do I do step one?
Thanks
Pepper
Post relates to: Tungsten E2

In PD 6.2.2 there is a PIM conduit switcher. Have you tried this?
Another option I can think to try is to export your data in a format compatible with Outlook, .csv or .tab and then import into Outlook.
Chapura makes a program called pocket copy. It is a one time transfer of your data from PD to Outlook.
They have a program called Pocket Mirror but is only compatible with 32 bit versions.
Here is a link to their site.
