ICloud for Windows 8 doesn't sync my contacts and calendar

Hi,
iCloud for Windows 8 doen't want to sync my contacts and calendar with the local Windows 8 programs.
Look at the first line:
What's wrong?
Thanks in advance for your help, and sorry for my bad English!

No, it's "Calendar" from Microsoft Corporation, and "Contacts" from Microsoft Corporation.
They are Windows 8 Modern UI apps, which are installed with Windows 8.1.

What is the best practice to move from Outlook 2010 to icloud. I want to sync primarily contacts and calendars.

I would like to move from Outlook 2010 (originally on Exchange) to icloud, however I read lots of bad experiences about this. Has anyone developed a good practice procedure for this? I primarily want to sync Outlook 2010 calendar and contacts with a cloud service and my iphone. I currently use a Dell latitude PC, outlook 2010, have upgraded to iOS 5 on an iphone 3GS (soon to be an 4GS).

I was trying to find the answer to this myself.
I found it.

I found that you don't need to create separate iCloud contact and calendar folders before installing this, it does that for you (in fact, you can't choose what these new folders are called, or where they go, but I guess you're unlikely to have anything else in your Outlook named "iCloud" before you start.)

TS1347 I had to get a new hard drive on my laptop PC. Now I am unable to sync my contacts and calendar from my iphone to the outlook software on my PC. Although they are backed up on icloud, I really want the information on my computer.

I cannot figure out how to sync my contacts and calendar from my iphone with my windows PC. The message during the itunes sync process is that information is being backed up to both the cloud and my PC. However the Outlook software remains blank. What can I do??

HT1296 I updated my PC from Windows 7 to Windows 8. I can no longer sync my Contacts and Calendar between my iPhone and my computer.

I updatedmy PC from Windows 7 to Windows 8. I can no longer sync my Contacts and Calendar between my iPhone and my computer.

Windows 8 is not supported at this time.

Apparently Sync Manager is turned off for syncing my contacts and calendar to using Blackberry Desktop Software - how can I switch it ON?

I upgraded to Mac OS 10.9 a few months ago.
Up till then I was happily able to sync mac Contacts and Calendar to my Blackberry Curve 9320 via Blackberry's Desktop Manager (for Mac).
Since upgrading the software tells me to that Mac Sync Manager is turned off. I know it isn't because everything else is syncing.
When I hunt through your support I find that there are solutions for this problem for other Mac OS versions but not for Maverick, so please tell me how I can once again use my business phone happily as I did before upgrading!
Many thanks
Janet

BlackBerry Desktop Software utilizes Apple's SyncServices technology in order to synchronize Contact, Calendar, Notes, and Tasks information to and from the Mac computer.
BlackBerry Desktop Software synchronizes information with the SyncServices database, which is synchronized with the desktop applications on the Mac computer (for example: Apple Address Book, iCal, Apple Mail, Microsoft Outlook for Mac). BlackBerry Desktop Software does not synchronize directly to or from the desktop applications on the Mac computer.
Mac OS X Mavericks v10.9 and later does not use SyncServices, therefore, it is not possible to synchronize Contact or Calendar information using the BlackBerry Desktop Software on these versions of OS X.
For more information on SyncServices and OS X Mavericks, see the following Apple Support article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5847
Note: BlackBerry Desktop software 2.4 is still supported for use with Mac OS X v10.6, 10.7, and 10.8.

ITunes won't sync my contacts and calendars

Hello all,
I'm having some trouble syncing my contacts and calendars to my iPod, because iTunes say's it doesn't have any available, and then it asks me to open that application.
This started after I forcibly shut down my computer.
I've tried replacing the information by deleting all of my contacts and calendars, and restoring using the Backup application, and I still got the same message asking me if I wan't to open iCal/Address Book.
Any solution will be appreciated.

2.0 GHz Intel Core Duo MacBook; 5.5G black iPod 30GB Mac OS X (10.4.8) Hard Drive: 60 GB; RAM: 512 MB

The most likely solution is to launch iSync
application ,and then in the preferences menu, click
on Reset Sync History button. This resets
configurations for the iTunes iPod sync process that
is dependent on the iSync system database system.
Is this the only way to do this? I am sic and tired of reseting my sync data as .Mac seams to have plenty of it's own issues. I use several computers Two for work and an extra at the office and one extra at home that I would have to then on the next sync accept all of the diolog boxes to get the most recent sync data on each computer. What a pain in the ... Not something that I want to do again as I have done it about 4+ times in the last month.

Upgrade to 10.7.5. See:
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

Suddenly won't sync all Contacts and Calendars

I’ve been syncing my iPhone 2G with Mail, Contacts and Calendar on Outlook 2007 via USB for over a year without any problems. I recently added a Microsoft Exchange email account to Outlook on my PC but I use it only for email. The Exchange email account is NOT set up to sync with my iPhone. The Calendar and Contacts I use are in an Outlook Personal Folder and not the Contacts and Calendar associated with the Exchange account.
Ever since installing the Exchange account, the iPhone does not recognize my original Contacts and Calendar and is not syncing them. Instead it seems to sync the Exchange Contacts and Calendar, which are empty so now my phone has not Contact or Calendar data.
I have tried replacing Contacts and Calendar using the iTunes/Info/Advanced option but that didn’t work.
In iTunes/Info/Contacts and iTunes/Info/Calendars I don’t have an option to select multiple contact lists or calendars to synch.
How can I get it back to syncing the Contacts and Calendar I actually need?
Thanks

I have the exact same problem and it drives me mad - thanks for letting me know if you find a solution. Here is what I will try: export all my contacts from where they are in the pst file in outlook then "try" to reimport them in the ost file (exchange). I noticed indeed that if I create a contact in the ost file, it does get pushed over to itunes.
But there seems to be no way of telling itunes which outlook data file to use in priority, and if you select it as default in outlook you wipe out the content of your mail file on the exchange server. Not great.

My iPhone 4s is not syncing the contacts and calendar to iCloud.

My iPhone is not syncing its contacts and calander to iCloud once its entered on the iPhone itself. It has no problem syncing information entered through iCloud though. Am I doing something wrong?

On the iPhone tap Settings > iCloud
Switch off both Contacts and Calendars then switch back on then reset the device.
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

Syncing Outlook contacts and calendar items to iCloud

I just upgrade my iPad 1 to iOS 5. Lots of fun stuff (although the upgrade process made me lose my application folder setup but this is not the subject of this message).
I currently have an Outlook mail connection with my iPad. It syncs all mails, contacts and calendar entries with my office server and my PC. Works great.
I had hoped that with iOS 5, I could have synchronised these same entries to iCloud.
But instead, I think that that you must store contacts / calander you wish to sync into the iCloud "account". If this is so, then I do not think that this would be a workable use case for me.
Any thoughts on how this could be accomplished?
Regards
Max

Kris,
I don't have an iPhone yet, but here is my best guess.
It's safe to assume you went into the iTunes options when your iPhone was plugged in to sync and you checked the options for Contacts and Calendars as you had the original sync occur. Have you gone back and confirmed both of those sync options are still checked? I know iTunes updates have goofed thing up before so I figured I'd ask...

Ipod Classic 80 & iTunes 9 syncing of contact and calendars no longer

Itunes 9 doesn't seem to allow my 80 gg ipod classic to sync contacts and calendars. It says I don't have and and would I like to open iCal/Address Book to create some. I did get one notice that itunes no longer syncs contacts on my ipod... it appeared so fast that I didn't get all of what it stated. Had something about would I like my contacts to be cleared from my ipod. Fortunately they are still on my iPod. Can't believe something as simple as syncing a little contact or calendar file to my somewhat recent ipod no longer is a feature. What up with that. Am I missing something

Having the same problem, and I found a temporary fix. In iCal select the calendar you want on the iPod (you may have to do this multiple times if you want multiple calendars on there) and go to File>Export... name the file as "iSync-whatever your calendar name is" (not sure if the iSync prefix is necessary, but that's what the synced calendars on the iPod look like).
For this next part you need to enable disk usage (a pain, I know, but hopefully this will only be temporary). Go to your iPod>Calendars and drag the .ics file you just exported in there. Then you can turn disk usage off (if you don't plan on doing this several times, if so then better just leave it on till a patch comes out) and eject it.
Hope this helps. I really hope they remedy this soon.

Yosemite OS 10.10 Broke Syncing of Contacts and Calendars

I just upgraded to Yosemite 10.10 on my Mac Book Pro and now my iCloud Contacts and Calendar do not sync between my MBP, iPhone 6, and iPad. My iPhone is on iOS 8.1 and my iPad is on 8.0.2. I updated a contact on my iPhone today and the change didn't sync to my other devices.
My Contact and Calendars have been correctly syncing via iCloud for quite a while, now, nothing works.
Apple - basic functions like this need to always work.

This would be a reason for me not to upgrade.

IPhone 6, manual sync of contacts and calendar with Google?

I usually prefer a manual sync of things like contacts and calendar with Google, rather than an automatic periodic sync. I don't change my calendar or contact list very often, so manual sync works best for me. I could do this with Android, but with iOS if I sync contacts and calendar with Google, and then turn off that syncing, iOS wants to remove my Google contacts and Google calendar events from my phone. So I seem to have no choice, either auto-sync, or no Google contacts and calendar events at all.
Does anyone out there know of a way to manually sync my Google contacts and calendar events when I want to?
How often does the Google calendar and contacts sync get done? Maybe it isn't an issue, if it only does a sync when I change my Google contact list or Google calendar?
Anyways, I really don't like automatic, periodic syncing to a web site happening on my phone if I don't need them to happen.
Thanks.

I can help you with your calendar problem.
You'll need to export your calendar from google into iCal, and then start making all your changes to your iCal calendar.
I wrote up the procedure with some screenshots here!
http://take-a-tech-tip.blogspot.com/2011/10/icloud-moving-google-calendars-to.ht ml
I hope it helps.
About your contacts, I'm not sure I'd be able to give you good instructions since I haven't done the whole procedure myself. I did however, have my Address Books contacts synced with Google.
This post might help you. It talks about moving Google Contacts to your Address Book.
http://take-a-tech-tip.blogspot.com/2011/09/iphone-google-contacts-sync-and.html
That should get your contacts from Google to your address book. Then, you can set up iCloud to have your contacts synced, and that should put them to iCloud. You can check by going to icloud.com and seeing if it worked. Then, I imagine you would have to disable the Google syncing with your Address Book (if I remember correctly, your computer will tell you it has to do this once you enable iCloud syncing for contacts).

Syncing email, contacts and calendars

Feeling a little overwhelmed with my problem as a recent Mac convert. Have tried to do research on this issue but have had no luck finding a solution that works for me. Not entirely sure this question is in the right category but here goes:
I have a personal gmail account and a home-business email through a domain. I am running MS Outlook 2011 on my Mac Book Air and using a Blackberry Bold 9900.
I want my Outlook and Bold to sync with my emails, contacts and calendars seemlessly. They are not. I have had nothing but problems with contacts that are entered in my BB then don't show up in Outlook. Or calendar invitations that are quadrupled in my BB because I added it to Outlook.
Does anyone have an elegant solution so that everything syncs between everything without dropping items or duplication?

Funny (not ha ha)....I've been working a similar situation for a few years now. I'm an IT guy, and my goal years ago was to sync my calendar and contacts with EVERY device I have (work outlook, home outlook (on 3 different systems) and whatever phone I've got). Apple had a GREAT answer.... their MobileMe solution. Was supposed to be great - a single place to sync everything together, BUT it didn't work right. So much that I ran from it when it would refuse to change things on just about any device. It would actually put all my contacts back if I attempted to delete them all. weird....finally dumped it.
So....round 2.
I started using my work Outlook (exchange) as my 'master', changing that, and letting all other devices be slave.
This worked for awhile, but got taxing to try and update from a single source. I would archive my data on a regular basis ' just in case'.
Anyway....after multiple device changes, etc. Here's where I'm at today - and working VERY well:
I sync all my devices with my work Outlook (Exchange). <---- key in this effort.
All my devices Outlook (exchange) at work, Outlook at home Windows (XP or 7 desktop), Windows laptop, MacBook Air (running SL, and now Lion), iPod touch, iPad, HP Touchpad and an iPhone. (I was Windows phone before and no difference). I've used 3 different windows phones, and now 3 different iphones. I can change data anywhere, on any device, and everything updates within a couple of minutes, since everydevice syncs with the master, the master updates and sends out to all other devices.
Now, for Blackberry, that would depend on if you sync wirelessly through a BES Server. If you do, again, everything would be the same and wirelessly sync everywhere.
If you sync using the desktop manager - makes it tougher, but still should work fine - it's just there is a time/entry delay because you can only change data you change on your BB with the rest of the network when you sync manually via cable (not the best solution). I did that for a few years, before smartphones hit the market. I used to used a Palm, or HP iPaq and would sync wired. What a pain.
This new solution has worked for me for a few years...very happy, and the end device shouldn't matter.
I'd like to hear more detail on what exactly isn't working.
Cheers.

How do I sync outlook contacts and calendar without deleting apps?

I have a second iPad. I wish to sync my Outlook contacts and calendar with my second iPad, however, upon doing so, I am prompted that I will be deleting the apps on the second iPad, which I suffered through yesterday (twice). Ideas on how to get around this? I am wondering how iTunes is not differentiating between the two iPads.
Any assistance is welcomed. Thank you.

Hi Bormond65,
Can you tell us a little bit more about your configuration? Are you using Exchange? Are you currently run Outlook for Mac (Office 2011) on your MacBook Pro? Or are you looking to migrate data from a PC to Outlook for Mac on your MacBook Pro?
