Icloud control panel windows 2.0 - selective sync?
Does anybody know if it's possible to only sync iCloud Contacts into Outlook, and not contact, calendar and mail. I specifically only want to sync contacts wiht Outlook, this way my contacts are all stored in the cloud, but available in Outlook and my iPhone. I don't want mail and calendar syncing to my work laptop. This used to be possible with icloud control panel 1.x but now with 2.0 it's all or nothing sync. Really *****!
I was also disappointed by the "all or nothing" approach, but there is a sort-of workaround: when you install ICP 2.0, it asks whether you want to merge "all things" or "some things" to the cloud. You choose "some" and then you get a list of contacts/calendar/tasks. Uncheck the calendar box. Then the iCloud calendar appears empty in Outlook, and your contacts will still sync.
But beware there is a bug in ICP 2.0 which makes it difficult to send mail. See this other thread about that:

ICloud Control Panel 3.0 for Win8 syncs bookmarks with Safari removed
Is it true that iCloud Control Panel 3.0 no longer syncs bookmarks with Safari for Windows? According to http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4759 Safari for Windows is no longer supported, only IE, FF and Chrome. I need a work around if this is true.

Unlikely..
To enable iCloud on your Windows PC (Windows 7 or 8 required), first set up iCloud on your other devices, then install the iCloud Control Panel for Windows

Undoing iCloud Control Panel Windows XP Workaround
At least 3 sites discuss the same procedure to to make iCloud Control Panel for WIndows run under Windows XP.
I followed the directions and discovered that the resulting code didn't work for wireless printing from iPad to my Brother HL5370DW printer. It crashes the printer, which must be shut down and restarted.
How can I back track and remove the changes made to iCloud.msi making it a modified iCloud?
Changes made: VersionNT>=600 changed to VersionNT>=200.
Rerunning iCloud.msi did not produce table with VersionNT and its value 200. Instead it shows VersionNT and in the next column 'VersionNT not supported'.
Help appreciated

Icloud control panel (windows PC) won't log in
Hi,
I am trying to log into the iCloud Control Panel on my Windows 7 PC. I always get an error that says "You can't sign in because of a sever error". How do I find out what that error is and why it won't log in?
(BTW, I am going to the control panel so I can figure out how to change the photostream, which appears to be interfering with Windows Live Photo Gallery. My PC always shows an "I" drive under Computer>Other, which is labelled the Photostream System Folder).
Thanks,
MikeHere we are in 2014 and they still havent resolved the issue .. not impressing at all ... **** poor deisgn ... think these geeks wouild have figured it out by now

Photostream checkbox not available in iCloud control panel: Windows 7 PC, 64 bit
Photostream checkbox in iCloud control panel is not available to be checked. I've uninstalled & reinstalled maybe 4-5x now. Also tried switching from Chrome to Explorer 9 for downloading to see if that might help. Also have deleted everything Apple on my PC, & started from scratch. The very odd thing is, it used to work just fine. At some point within the last 2-3 months, there must have been an update that was installed, and I can no longer access the checkbox on photostream.Tech help could not figure out a solution either.

iCloud 2.0Hey RuiEVG,
Thanks for the question. The following resource outlines troubleshooting information for using iCloud contacts on a Windows PC. It may be that your version of Outlook is not supported:

Check the system requirements
Make sure that your PC meets the iCloud system requirements.
iCloud Control Panel doesn't support Outlook 2010 Personal Edition.

Icloud control panel Windows XP
Can someone PLEASE tell me how to connect my iPhone 4s to iCloud through my Windows XP computer? What I find at Apple is a control panel for Windows Vista or Windows 7, which I do NOT have. I want to download/upload pictures using PhotoStream.
Uniquer2, Just want to give you a huge thanks as people like you make communities slay alive. You made it possible to run it on win xp. thanks!! I did you last suggestion but only downloaded the 32 bit versions of the files, ran the icloud.msi and everything is working! THANKS!!
DOOOHHHHH!!!! I didn't realize it only syncs with Outlook 2007. I am still on 2003, I am poor. Wonder what I can find out there from FOSS which is like Microsoft Outlook. Thunderbird? Maybe there is a way to sync it somehow with my Gmail online? Who knows, just want to make sure I have my 2,000+ contacts backup'd up in multiple places as a fail safe. Been collecting em since I got a Palm Pilot back in 1997!! Everything is still with me, LOL. (It was a biiiatt**** going from Palm Sync to Outlook let me tell you, then into iPhone BUT well worth it.) -
HT201317 I am unable to check photo stream for the icloud control panel. windows 7
Does anyone know what causes this and how can I fix it? I have been driving myself crazy. It has worked before, but suddenly it is not.
If you're trying to add photos to photo stream on your PC, you drag them to your photo stream uploads folder (normally My Pictures\Photo Stream\Uploads).

Since last update I dont have my stream pictures on my PC, and I notice in the icloud control panel appears unmarked but if I marked save and close, next time I check is unmarked againg
Hi Amish,
I should have mentioned that I have signed out of the iCloud Control Panel several times and no syncing occurs.
Thanks for your response anyway. I appreciate your feedback. -
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,

I have downloaded the latest version of icloud control panel to a PC with Windows 7. My "master" data is always on my PC. With other synch software I always select "One Way Outlook to Device". I synched icloud with Outlook and it has trashed my Outlook with duplicate contacts. Is there a solution. Is there selective synchronisation available?
Make sure you don't have any notes that have no content or subject or this can prevent syncing with Outlook. If you do, delete them.
If you don't, try unchecking "Mail,Contacts,Calendars & Tasks with Outlook" on the iCloud control panel for Windows, choose Delete at the prompt (the data will still be in iCloud), restart your PC, then go back and check this setting again. (Your iCloud data will reappear in Outlook after a brief delay as it redownloads.)
Then create a new note on one of your iOS devices and see if it appears in the Notes folder in Outlook mail after a few minutes. -
What do I do to get Notes to synch to my Windows 7 Outlook. Before I began synching my IPod and IPhone to my PC with the ICloud and synched by cable, the synching was fine. There is no mention of notes on the ICloud control panel but the ICloud is selected on Outlook notes.

I checked my iphone and icloud is set to share my Photo Stream but from my computer with icloud 2.1.2 the Photo Stream option is greyed out and I can't select it. What to do??
Some people have fixed this by uninstalling iCloud (control panel>uninstall or change a program>iCloud>uninstall), restarting the PC, then download and reinstall the iCloud control panel for Windows: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1455.

I have one windows vista PC with Microsoft outlook with two calendars and two contacts ( family and work in each case). My wife syncs her ipad 2 via icloud and I am about to buy an iphone but as much as I have tried I cannot find out how to sync from one set of calendar and contacts (family to my wife's ipad) and separately the other calendar and contacts (work) to my iphone via icloud (or any other way efficiently) off the same PC. Although I have found lots of these similar sorts of issues on the forum, to my surprise I have not found this exact issue and so I have not yet found the solution. Any help appreciated!
Hello desert_dweller5,
It sounds like you art trying to access a Shared Photo Stream, but you do not have one of the devices to enable your Apple ID as an iCloud account. The following article provides information on how Shared Photo Streams work:
iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486
The article states that for privately Shared Photo Streams to work, the recipient will not only have to have an Apple ID, but it will have to be an iCloud account:
Friends and family with iCloud accounts can view your photos in the Photos app on any device using iOS 6 or later; on a Mac in iPhoto 9.4 or Aperture 3.4 or later; on a Windows PC with Windows Vista or later and iCloud Control Panel 2.0 or later installed; or on a second generation or later Apple TV with software version 5.1 or later installed. They can also view your photos on the web if you enable Public Website in the settings or options for your Shared Photo Stream.
Since you do not have an iCloud account and just and Apple ID, your friend can share the photo stream as a public website so that you can view it, as stated in the same article:
Can I share with people who don't have an iCloud account?
Yes. If you enable Public Website in the settings or options for your shared photo stream your photos will be published to a website that anyone can view in an up-to-date web browser.
To be able to change an Apple ID to an iCloud account, you would need an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5 or later or a Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.4 or later as stated in the following article:
