ICloud Control panel absolutely doesn't work

So I downloaded iCloud Control Panel on my PC with Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and it doesn't work. It doesn't recognize that I have Microsoft Outlook, even though it's Outlook 2007, It doesn't merge the bookmarks and I can't activate Photo stream because this option on iCloud Control Panel is all grayed out. Here is a screenshot: http://img64.imageshack.us/img64/3097/icloude.png
So what can be blocking iCloud Control Panel? I don't use any antivirus software, so that's not a problem. I also tried to use the iCloud control panel in my sisters notebook and it works perfectly.

ICloud control panel for Outlook not working

The panel of iCloud tomsyncronise on outlook doesn't work. It not appear in control panel.
Thank you

I don't really know what you mean by 'tomsyncronise'. Are you saying that you can't check Outlook from the Control panel? Did you install Outlook 2007 or 2010? The Control panel does not support Outlook Express.
or are you saying that the Outllok checkbox is missing from the Control panel?

Icloud Control Panel 3.1 not working in Windows 8.1/Outlook 2013

Every time I start the Icloud Control Panel, I get the message: "Repair the Icloud Control Panel to use Icloud with Outlook". I have Outlook 2013, and windows 8.1 pro 64 bit. Needles to say contacts are not being sincronyzed between Icloud and Outlook. Contacts and mail sinc does not work also in itunes.
Repairing the Icloud control panel does not solve the issue. If I say repair later, then this is what I get:
Any ideas?
Thank you.

Solution to iCloud control panel 4 sign-in server error under windows 8.1x64

Potential solution for icloud 3.1 and 4.0 installation and iTune store sign-in, all showing errors or sign-in errors due to server error.
My setup is Iphone 4S upgraded to ios8, ipad Air still on 7.1.2, windows PC on Win8.1x64 and with icloud 3.1 working fine till I tried to
upgrade/install/re-install 4.0 icloud control panel after upgrade to ios8. See end of message for other alternatives I had tried.
This worked for me.
There seem to be some programmes that is conflicting with Apple's, so download this free program autoruns suggested by Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
Run the program and choose the the "Winsock Providers", any other programme that shows up here except Bonjour (which is used by Apple) may be conflicting with the sign-in.
Uninstall those potentially conflicting programs
Inside autoruns->Winsock Provider, right click on the conflicting programs and choose delete. This would stop the conflicting program to start up
again. Reboot the computer
Install icloud control panel, sign in
If works, reinstall those conflicting programs again and all back to normal, with iCloud control panel working
If doesn't work, my mojo not strong enough and you need to google for more help.
Other activities I googled, tried and failed
a) Adding Apple icloud program and services into the windows firewall
b) Uninstall version 4.0, re-install 3.1 (about 10 times)
c) create a new Apple ID to sign in
d) Sign out of icloud from my devices (iphone and ipad)
e) switch to Android devices

You need to edit the MSI installer and change the Launch Condition to allow iCloud Control Panel 3.1 to be installed on Windows Server 2008 R2.
First, download Orca, an MSI editor. You can get it from the Windows SDK. (Download and only check the box for "Development Tools" under Native components during installation, then go to C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1\Bin and install Orca.msi)
Launch Orca and then find the iCloud(64).msi to edit.
If using Apple Software Update, browse to C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Apple\Apple Software Update and open iCloud(64).msi in Orca.
Or download iCloudSetup.exe and use a zip program (7-zip) to extract the MSI from the exe and open it in Orca.
In Orca, select the LaunchCondition table and look for the condition "(VersionNT >= 601) AND (MsiNTProductType = 1)". Change the number 1 to a number 3 so the condition should read "(VersionNT >= 601) AND (MsiNTProductType = 3)". Save and exit Orca.
Then double click on the msi and it should install successfully now.

ICloud Control Panel not staying resident

I have installed iCloud Control Panel on 3 different PCs, each running Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium. I got everything working, while my wife was at work, and I wanted to show her how she could snap a picture and it would show up on her PC. I had set it up for her phone on her computer and my phone for both my laptop and desktop. I initially tried using her phone (iPhone 3GS), which has been having peculiar problems (which is an entirely different issue). I took a picture with her phone and after several minutes of nothing, I decided to show her on my phone and computer, since I KNEW that was working. I took a picture with my phone (iPhone 4). Again, nothing popped up on my computer. I finally realized that the iCloud Control Panel was no longer working on my desktop. I then went to my wife's computer and it was no longer working on her desktop. The laptop still had the control panel interface open (as opposed to only showing up in the taskbar at the bottom right of screen.)
Has anyone else experienced iCloud shutting itself down?

From the searches I did I found I had to download the icloud control panel which I can't do becuase of hte software I am forced to run for work.
Can anyone tell me if there is a way (besides opening each yahoo event and switching it on the iphone to an icloud calendar) to transfer my yahoo calendar to an icloud calendar??
There is not, Vista or Lion are the minimum requirements, use Yahoo's sync services instead.

TS4403 Icloud Control Panel for Vista?

I understand that Icloud control panel 2.1.2 works for Windows Vista. When I try to download from Apple, it provides me with Control Panel 3.0, which requires Windows 7 or 8. How can I download Control Panel 2.1.2 that will work with Vista? Ultimately my goal is to automatically sync my contacts between gmail, ipad, and outlook on my PC.

I uploaded icloud 2.1.2 to a free file hosting site. I have it saved on my back up HDD. Here is the file link

ICloud control panel works with 1 ID but not with another

I don't get what the issue is. I can't get the iCloud control panel to work with my itunes/iCloud ID. I am running Windows 7 home premium 64-bit. I logged in with my wife's iCloud account and it worked, logged out and tried to use mine and nothing. It just sits there and the little circle next to "sign in" just spins.
I downloaded the newest update for the control panel and tried it again. Hers works, mine doesn't. This has been going on for about a year and is really annoying.
It is just on the control panel, my iCloud credentials work fine everywhere else (iCloud website, here, iPhone, iPad), so I know that is not the problem.

Here's one way to simplify some of this code. I know that this has nothing to do w/ the original question, but nevetheless, it's an itch that I feel I have to scratch...
public class ssnBoard extends JFrame implements ActionListener,
    Runnable
    JPanel pane = new JPanel();
    JButton[] numberBtns = new JButton[10];
    Font bigFont;
    Color[] numberButtonColors =
        Color.MAGENTA, Color.red, Color.pink, Color.blue, Color.yellow,
        Color.green, Color.yellow, Color.blue, Color.pink, Color.red
    JButton clear = new JButton("CLEAR");
    JButton cancel = new JButton("CANCEL");
    JTextField RutgersIDField = new JTextField("", 6);and this
        for (int i = 1; i < numberBtns.length; i++)
            pane.add(setUpNumberBtns(i));
        pane.add(setUpNumberBtns(0));
        clear.setFont(smallFont);
        Color c10 = Color.white;
        clear.setBackground(c10);
        clear.setForeground(Color.black);
        clear.addActionListener(this); // register button
        pane.add(clear);
        clear.setFocusable(false);and of course this:
    private JButton setUpNumberBtns(int i)
        JButton myBtn = numberBtns;
myBtn.setFont(bigFont);
myBtn.setBackground(numberButtonColors[i]);
myBtn.setForeground(Color.black);
myBtn.addActionListener(this);
myBtn.setFocusable(false);
return myBtn;

HT203687 iCloud Control Panel 2.0 won't work with Windows Vista 64

I can't believe that the iCloud Control Panel 2.0 suddently doesn't work any more with Vista 64. I have been synching my Outlook contacts with iCloud for many months with no problems. Now I get the message "Repair the iCloud Control Panel to use iCloud with Outlook", and multiple repairs, removal and reinstallations of the Control Panel do not solve the problem. The bulletin at support.apple.com/kb/TS4445 describes the problem exactly, and says "Apple is investigating the issue". I hope so. This must affect millions of Outlook users.

Hi, I came across the same problem and was not able to open any iCloud folders on Outlook, and iCloud was continusly asking to repair the iCloud Control Panel. Got the issue fixed by following the steps on the link http://somanytips.com/fix-icloud-error-repair-the-icloud-control-panel-to-use-ic loud-with-outlook/

Beware: icloud control panel DOES NOT WORK for icloud email

Opposing evidence is welcome. Please comment.
After dozens of hours, emails and chat sessions with both MS and Apple tech support (the latter escalated as high as it could go - "after this we have to refer you to engineering"), I was finally told by Apple Senior Advisor Ciara Ferguson that icloud control panel does not properly sync icloud mail with Outlook 365 (Outlook 2013). After several months of working on dual systems I discovered that many (but not all) changes to folder names and filing of emails in various folders made in Outlook were not reflected on icloud and vice versa. Ms. Ferguson has stated that icloud control panel "works better with calendar and contacts." Obviously, this non-committal statement is grossly insufficient. It either works or it doesn't. It doesn't.
Allegedly, icloud control panel does work to sync other email (the example of an outlook.com email address was given) into apple devices. This doesn't sound right to me either, since one can just add any POP or IMAP or Exchange account into a Mac device, so why would one need icloud control panel to interface?
I remain stymied as to the actual purpose of icloud control panel, despite asking exactly that question of Ms. Ferguson on several occasions. The Apple literature and its own setup screens suggest that it will sync email, contacts, calendar and notes with MS Outlook, but as to email, that is apparently untrue.

I don't think so. I'd like to sync photostream from two iPhones with distinct Apple IDs on our PCs and I don't see a way to do it. It synced my wife's iPhone while she was logged in to iCloud control panel but not mine until I logged in (and disconnected her photostream PC syncing).

When I try to set up Icloud control panel in Windows Vista, I get "your setup couldn't be started because the Icloud server stopped responding. I've tried loads of fixes suggested on the net but none worked. Can anyone help me please?

Icloud control panel does not install properly but only when trying to sync with Outlook 2010. If I try to sync photos, etc. it works just fine

Downloaded icloud control panel to Win 7. Everything seems ok until you "apply" synching at the icloud control panel. Then you get an error message that says "icloud control panel did not install properly". Repairing in Windows control panel as suggested does not help. If you do not try to sync Outlook data (2010) then it seems to work just fine.

I was able to finally stop ITunes from crashing after many days of searching n restarting my computer many times.
a) First I went to this site ->http://forums.techarena.in/guides-tutorials/1119812.htm that showed me how to disable DPE. Please make sure that u have good virus...etc.. protection first before doing this. I have Avast Internet Security. RESTART UR COMPUTER..
b) I then uninstall ITunes by following this site ->http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923 RESTART UR COMPUTER..
c) I then downloaded a beta version of ITunes. I happen to download beta 7 before the final of 10.5 version came out. Installed it. After installing I click on it n it said somewhere along the line of "this ITune ver. expired" I checked in my Programs n Features n notice that QuickTime was installed w that beta version.
d) Go online n download the final version of ITunes ->http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ ...... After u finish dling install that. After that's done connect your IPod, IPhone...etc... n click on ITunes, it should sync all the way.
I was finally able to sync all thru the steps insteading of it crashing on me midway. Hopefully this will work for you. Good luck !

TS3989 My Photo Stream works and I have iCloud control panel installed. The photo stream sync is selected, but when I go to the my photo stream folder on my windows PC there are no photos in the file.

My Photo Stream works and I have iCloud control panel installed. The photo stream sync is selected, but when I go to the my photo stream folder on my windows PC there are no photos in the file.

mlvov,
I did as you said and went to the icloud control panel on my Windows 8 Laptop to be sure I was looking at the correct folder for my photo stream. All my "shared" albulms pushed to my Laptop and are up-to-date with the exception of the "photostream" album. If I create a "shared stream album" and place photo's in it on the phone; I can see the photos on my laptop. I dont get it. I had a iphone 4s and had zero isues and now with my new nifty iPhone 5s it doesent work.
What am I not doing correctly.
Thanks,
iPhone, 5s, iOS 7.0.2

Photostream to my Windows 7 computer has stopped working. When I open icloud control panel, photostream has become unchecked even though it has been previously checked. I check it again but when I click options, nothing happens. I click apply and close, but next time I open the control panel, Photostream has become unchecked again. What can I do?

Lisaglenoak:
When I first downloaded iCloud to my PC a little while back, Photo Stream initially worked. I was able to check/uncheck both boxes available to me, as well as click the Options tab to the right of Photo Stream. I could make changes, click "Apply", and everything was fine and dandy.
Within a day, I opened the iCloud Control Panel, and despite how many times I would uncheck Bookmarks, it didn't matter. I would click "Apply", and it would automatically ask me to sign in again. When I did this, Bookmarks would be checked again. Additionally, Photo Stream was grayed out; I was unable to check the box (which was unchecked), and I was unable to go to Options.
Somehow, I managed to get my iCloud Control Panel "unstuck", and currently, it is working fine. There are 2 steps that I did to accomplish this. The 1st step listed below may be the crucial element for those whose reinstallation of the program has not succeeded, in and of itself. It is a change that I haven't come across as a possible part of a solution to this problem; I just happened to stumble upon this whilst searching my PC for possible fixes to the problem.
Step 1: Find your iCloud File Folder. (On my PC, I clicked the Start button in the lower left corner, then clicked All Programs, and finally scrolled down to where all the folders for various "things" are.) Click the Folder and a sub-list will appear, with items such as Calendar, Mail, etc. Right-Click the iCloud Program icon, and at the bottom of the list that appears, click on Properties. At the top, there are 5 tabs. Click the Compatibility tab, and you should see, at the top, the following words: "If you have problems with this program and it worked correctly on an earlier version of Windows, select the compatibility mode that matches that earlier version." Following these words is a dropbox underneath "Compatibility Mode", and for some reason - I have no idea why this is - the box was initially checked to run the program in compatibility mode for "Windows XP (Service Pack 2)". (And from what I understand, Windows XP is not a compatible Windows Edition for iCloud, so I have no idea why this box was checked.) If the box underneath "Compatibility Mode" is checked, than it is running iCloud in compatibility mode for any number of earlier Windows' Editions. Uncheck this box, click the "Apply" button, and then click "OK".
Step 2: Find your PC's Control Panel. (On my PC, I clicked the Start button in the lower left corner, and then clicked Control Panel in the list to the right.) In the Control Panel, click Programs. Under Programs and Features, Click "Uninstall a program" (and bear with me here, because you are actually not going to uninstall iCloud). Now, scroll down the list and find "iCloud". Double-click the "iCloud" icon, and a panel with 2 options should appear: "Repair" and "Remove". Check the "Repair" box, which will reinstall the same iCloud Control Panel, replacing missing or damaged files. ("Remove" will just .. well ... remove iCloud from the computer - or, if you prefer, uninstall the program.) Click Next, and the repairing process will begin and end. And that is it - you're done. Task Completed.
Well, in the end, this worked for me. Photo Stream was no longer grayed out. I could permanently uncheck Bookmarks (finally). The Options tab for Photo Stream would open. Anytime that I clicked the "Apply" button after checking/unchecking boxes, it wouldn't ask me to sign in again (only to come back to a Control Panel that looked just like it did before I made any changes to it.). And, I created a Shared Photo Stream on my phone using photos from my Camera Roll (to test the program), and the Shared Photo Stream appeared on my PC's Photo Stream in no time. Hopefully, this will work for you too (regardless of the Windows Edition you are currently using). ~ Brian
