Icloud is useless unless you have Outlook on a PC

Do not have updated Outlook on my Laptop. So most of icloud will not work on computer.
Only thing icloud is good for. Is to download itunes on iphone and PC. I founf Gmail to be more usefull for contacts and calenders than icloud.

I don't think Apple spends a lot of time making iCloud work with a PC. After all they really want you to use a Mac or a iPad or something Apple. I agree, that iCloud being accessed only really well through Outlook which I bet most do not even have is only really done for enterprise users and nobody else. I tend to use a browser on my PC when I need to access iCloud. Sad to say this is more of a issue with a closed eco system then anything else. I have similar problems accessing my Microsoft account from my Mac too. So it goes both ways. Both companies deal with compatibility to their own stuff first and make it barely compatible to the others. Its a token gesture I guess.

    I have an Ipod 5 and you can not listen to music unless you have headphones plugged in

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.

  • You can't send a message on behalf of this user unless you have permission to do so

    Hi,
    We are on Exchange 2010 SP2 with multiple domain name. All works ok. We need to be able to use other domains while sending email. For example, i have a default reply address set for [email protected] along with other addresses i.e [email protected] etc on
    policy. I am receiving emails and can reply only using [email protected] I get the following error if i try to send email from [email protected]
    [email protected]
    You can't send a message on behalf of this user unless you have permission to do so. Please make sure you're sending on behalf of the correct sender, or request the necessary permission. If the
    problem continues, please contact your helpdesk.
    Users should have the ability to choose an address as they need rather that fixing to a single 'set as reply address'. I am sure it is possible. Can some provide some help/direction?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Byron,
    Looked like a workable solution but could not get it to work. I am getting NDR with permission issue. I have created the distribution group with email address. Added the user in it. Given the user Full access and SEND AS permission. 
    Hi, I'm not sure what issue you are running into, but you can definitely give a user Send As permission for a group and then send as the group. I just verified in my test environment.
    To assign the Send As permission, the easy way it in AD User and Computers.
    Enable Advanced Features from the View menu first. This allows you to see the
    Security tab.
    In ADUC, find the group and open the Properties.
    On the Security tab, Add the user.
    With the user selected in the list, Allow the Send as
    permission.
    There may be a bit of lag time before that begins to work as Exchange may have cached some AD permissions, but it definitely works.

  • Can I print my calendar from iCloud if I do not have outlook?

    I would like to be able to print my calendar, from iCloud but am using Comcast for email and do not have Outlook.  Is this possible?

    which device do you use your iCloud calendar on?
    You should be able to print it without Outlook.

  • ICloud not syncing when  you have to turn it on

    Has anybody noticed that iCloud is not syncing on items that you have to specifically enable it for? Apps that have it on by default (such as Infinity Blade 2) work just fine, but Apps that you must turn it on to get it to sync do not (Cut the Rope Experiments, Zombieville USA 2, etc.)

    No, what I am saying is that the ones that have it on by default seem to work properly. The ones that you have to go in and enable the feature do not seem to save to iCloud once that option has been enabled. I've ran into several:
    Don't save to iCloud (Have to go in an toggle the setting)
    Anomaly Warzone HD
    Zombieville USA
    Cut the Rope experiments
    DO save to iCloud (Setting is on by default)
    Bards Tale
    Batman Arkham lockdown

  • Apple TV is useless unless I have internet service?

    Is this true? I can;t even use it without internet?
    This is beat.

    The only reason you'd need the internet, aside from downloading upgrades from Apple (which is recommended), is so you can download things directly to your ATV from the www instead of xfrg them from your computer. You'll also have to use wires (yuck) to hook up your 'pooter to your ATV since you don't have a wireless connection. So, that kinds of *****, yeah, but if you don't use the net for anything....why don't you have internet? That's kind of odd you're asking this since you'd have to be online to ask this question, unless you're using the internet at work...you sneaky bugger, you!
    Anywhoo...good luck and I hope you enjoy your ATV - please let us know how it is sans www since I think you're the only one here that doesn't have it.

  • HT1338 the mac won't stay on unless you have it plugged in

    hi everyone my baby dropped some water on my mac air in swich it dryed the mac is charge at full but will not tun on with puting the charger on at all time sometimes when it gors uo it says time is june 2008

    Hopefully your MacBook Air is stilll in warranty or you have Applecare? If these problems are persisting after the MBA has had time to dry out thoroughly you need to make a complete backup and then get an appointment to take it to the Genius Desk at the nearest Apple Store or an Apple Certified Repair facility. I would not risk further damage by continuing to attempt to use it.

  • How can I make it to where you are not aloud to delete the history unless you have a password? Public Fox does not work because they can simply go to "Show All History" and delete from there.

    Alot of people use my computer and I would like to make it to where you are required to have a password to delete the history. I tried public fox but you can simply delete the history by accessing "Show all history". So public fox doesn't work.

    Sorry, Firefox doesn't have a password feature for browsing history, and I haven't seen an extension for that.

  • What is the process for changing iCloud id's once you have already set up a shared one with your spouse?

    When originally setting up iCloud, on both our iphones, my husband and I used the same email address (mine). What a big mistake! We really only wanted to share the same id for purchasing in itunes, not sharing everything else (or so i now figured out). If we want to give him his own iCloud id, what exactly is the process? Will he lose all of his contacts and have to input them all again, or can he restore a backup from his iTunes on his computer? I hate having all of his contacts on my iPhone, and vice versa, but i have messed up his phone before trying to do this and I am freaked out about doing it again. I just want to be sure of the process before I try again. Any help would be appreciated.

  • Don't do latest secuity update unless you have to....

    Not trying to scare anyone, but I just had a huge scare, thought I'd warn others.
    I'm a senior in college, about to graduate. I stupidly updated my computer on a whim. After trying to restart, my Mac was frozen on the grey screen for a half an hour and the blue screen for 20 mins. Scared the crap out of me - I have so much important stuff on my Mac!
    Luckily, it restarted and I immediately ran Backup and put files onto a USB card. Just a warning
    On a side note, my Mac has been SLOW for about 3 weeks. I'm actually wondering if it's possible I got a virus through iChat. My friends PC got infected and was sending messages to everyone on his buddy list. My Mac has been acting funny ever since. Any thoughts?

  • Is it still the case that the Muse CC Forms widget will not work properly unless you have Business Catalyst?

    I am looking into options for our next office website redesign.  We will definitely need a forms function.  I downloaded the Muse CC free trial and went through all of the tutorials.  The video on the forms (Contact Form) stated that the forms widget would not work or would not work properly if you do not have Business Catalyst.  I'm hoping that has changed since the video was created.
    Is this still true that you need to purchase the Business Catalyst product for Muse CC form widgets to work correcty??? 

    Piruki have you tried utilizing the Previous version option within the Creative Cloud Desktop application?  You can find additional details under the install Previous version section of CC desktop lists applications as "Up to Date" when not installed - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/aam-lists-removed-apps-date.html.

  • Ikea won't let you download their kitchen planner unless you have Foxfire version 3.5.7 or older. Is there a safe place to download the old 3.5.7 version?

    When you hit the "Install" button it swings you back to make you agree to the terms again. The program never gives you the option to "Run" or "Save" it.

    Works for me if I start a Windows version of Firefox 4 or Firefox 6 (Aurora) via Wine on Linux. So the Firefox version doesn't seem to be the problem. I can't test it on Windows, but does work on Linux with Firefox 4.0.1 if I override navigator.platform to Win32.
