Outlook 2003 old Data File can't be removed and can't set up up iCloud sync with Outlook

I had an issue with Google Calendar Sync after installing iCloud so I tried to remove my iCloud install. When I go into Outlook 2003 it shows a Data File that exists with the iCloud name, but when I click on remove it comes back with "Äre You Sure....", I click yes and then an error states "The Requested Operation Failed." Then I try to click on the Settings Tab and I get the error "Än Unknown Error Occured, error code 0x8004011c". The Open Folder tab is grayed out. If I click on the E-mail tab, no iCloud email exists. Hence something is lingering but I cannot get rid of it.
When I go into the iCloud Control Panel the Mail, Contacts, Calendar and Tasks with Outlook is not ticked. If I try to tick it and then apply the changes, it goes through the set-up for a few seconds and then returns an error box entitled Outlook Setup for iCloud with an error message Outlook Setup Error with a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark inside of it. The options are "report", "try again" and "cancel" - all which are useless and don't do anything.
Anyone have any ideas on how I can remove this Data File that supposedly exists within Outlook. I have searched the c: drive and there is nothing by the name it states.

Sorry...I have been looking at this for too long. It is actually Outlook 2007.
I actually have already removed the calendar, tasks, etc from Outlook as your last paragraph outlines, but it doesn't help.
I have hoping to avoid the uninstall / reinstall, but I was leaning the same way.
Thanks for your response. Let me know if you think of anything else.

How can I set up iCloud sync with Outlook 2007 using Hotmail account?

Hi,
I installed iCloud PC control panel. I tried to sync my contacts and calendars from Outlook (2007) to the cloud but I gets this message: "Add an e-mail account to Outlook Before setting up iCloud". I have an Hotmail account synced up into my Outlook via Outlook Connector. Can iCloud sync with Hotmail accounts?
What should I do to get my calendars and contacts synchronize to the cloud. Does Outlook 2007 can be synced by the cloud too?
How can I set up iCloud sync with Outlook 2007 using Hotmail account?

I found a way to fix this, it did the trick for me:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3109623
All you have to do is include a new e-mail account [email protected] (set it as a default) on Outlook with the options that are showed in the thread I linked and you should have the calendars and tasks syncronised. It works perfectly with ipod touch, ipad and Outlook 2010 on windows 7.

My iPhone 5 is in recovery mode but i want to save my pictures and videos! is there any way i can do that? i have a back up from 2 days ago and i don't have my iCloud sync with my photos

is there any way i can do that? i have a back up from 2 days ago and i don't have my iCloud sync with my photo

When restoring from the backup, whatever is included with the backup from two days ago should be restored which includes photos/videos in the Camera Roll at the time of the backup along with all other data included with the backup at the time of the backup two days ago.

Outlook 2010 Data files have reached maximum size and can't delete.

This is the message I get whenever I try to send/rec mail.. it is also the message that I get when I try to delete any messages, whether from inbox, sent items, or deleted... just seems locked up. This is not enterprise or Exchange server this is from my
wife's home office. I have been playing around with this for hours, and still get the same message and still dead in the water.. Please help! I am running windows 7home.
I was attaching the photo.. but won't take it until verified. "The Outlook data file C:\Users\Owner\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook\Outlook.pst has reached the maximum size. To redude the amount of data in the file, permanently delete some items that
you no longer need. You could also consider using the new Outlook data file (.pst) introduced with Outlook 2003 that provides greater capacity for storing items and folders.
Thanks,

Hi,
You can try compacting the data file:
Go to File tab -> Account Settings -> Account Settings
-> Data Files tab, double click on the data file -> Under
General tab, click on the Compact Now button ->
OK.
This will reduce the size of your Outlook data file. Then you can test if any items can be deleted from the .pst file.
More information about the size limit for both (.pst) and (.ost) files in Outlook, please refer to the kb below:

ICloud sync with Outlook deleted recent and upcoming appointments

I recently decided to enable iCloud Sync on my iPhone, and more recently I also enabled it on Outlook. It had been a while since I synced my phone to my computer, but the result ended up being that when I enabled iCloud Sync in Outlook, it deleted all appointments I had scheduled since I last synced to my computer.
Is there any way to get these back?

Be aware: iCloud sync with Outlook can mangle calendar.

Hey Apple, this is really unfriendly behavior! Not warning of the irreversible changes that will be made in Outlook is irresponsible, to say the least. Syncing calendar data with iCloud does the following:
1. Creates a new calendar named "Calendar in iCloud".
2. Transfers all existing calendar data to the new calendar, removing it from the original calendar "Calendar".
Why is this a problem?
1. "Calendar" is still the default calendar for new entries and it is not synced.
2. Entries for "Calendar in iCloud" don't appear in the ToDo Bar.
3. If you accept an outlook invitation, it is created in "Calendar" so it is not synced.
4. If you sync with Google Calendar from Outlook, as I do, the first sync will wipe out all Goole Calendar entries because it is syncing with "Calendar".
5. I haven't found a way to reverse this mess.
Thanks for the new features.

I also have the same issues regarding the poorly designed calendar integration and synch. I now have two calendars, Outlook and iCloud. iCloud doesn't see the Outlook calendar events automatically and copying them over to the iCloud calendar, resends invitations. No apparent way to change default email account to work vs personal email. Without this, Calendar invites get sent using personal account instead of business account. Very frustrating. Pretty dumb to miss this obvious use case.
Like others have said the duplication of events is also a pain. While the desktop synch required you to connect PC to phone, at least it worked without all these dumb issues. I seriously considering returning to connected synch. Very disappointing; not a real solution to keeping multiple devices in synch, in fact in many ways it makes it worse.

Email type set to work after sync with Outlook 2003

I just spent a while going through my mail contacts on the iPhone setting them all properly - 'home' email if it was a personal address and 'work' if it was their work address. It appears that all email addresses show as 'work' ones when you start out. I just came up and connected the iPhone to the PC for it to update Outlook, and now all the Contact email types are all back to 'work' again on the iPhone.
Does anyone know how to avoid this?
Thanks,
Tom

I had this happen to me on numerous occasions. I never was able to figure out where the numbers went to, so I started using google sync which uses PUSH through(Microsoft exchange). Its free and it works well because it always keeps a copy of my contacts on my gmail account. As I add them to my phone they are sync'd and stored in my Gmail contacts. I love it especially when I have to restore my iPhone or something to that nature. All I have to do is put the account info back into my iPhone and two seconds later all my contacts are back on my phone. Plus you do not have to sync your phone with Outlook every time you get a new contact... Hopefully everything works out well for you!!!

ICloud sync with Outlook issues

My problem is this:
I use Outlook 2013 and iCloud Control Panel ver. 3.0 (latest). The whole sync process completes fine but when I open Outlook I notice that not all folders/subfolders have been synced plus contacts have not been synced with pictures as in the past. I have re-done the process couple of times, every time deleting any previews Outlook data but without much luck. Any thoughts?

ok...
From experience, I can tell you the two calendars are both default calendars with iCloud. 'Work in Cloud' probably doesn't contain any of previous inputs because your iphone probably defaults to your regular calendar.
For me, I was able to get a good understanding by looking at the icloud calendar at icloud.com and the outlook calendar side by side. I recommend doing so, and playing around with things so you can figure out how they work.
With Outlook, you are going to have locally stored stuff (like Contacts), and your cloud-stored stuff (like Contacts in Cloud). That is why you are seeing two different sets of data. It looks like you dont have any locally stored contact, which is fine. All of your contacts are in iCloud (or...Contacts in Cloud), which should correlate to your iphone. again, it might be best to just pull up icloud.com, and put it side by side with outlook. it helped me get a good understanding of how it works.

ICloud sync with Outlook 2007 on my Win 7 PC fails.

Outlook Connector is linked to my Hotmail account. The email still arrives every day, so I asume that this is OK.
iPhone 4S iCloud settings are: Contacts "On", Calendars "On", Reminders "On", Bookmarks "On". The Account is my Hotmail account. WiFi is "On" and it sees my home WiFi.
I have iTunes set to:
"Back up to this computer", which I assume means my home PC.
Sync Contacts with Outlook is checked.
Sync Calendars with Outlook is checked.
Sync Notes with Outlook is checked.
The Home PC is a new HP 64 bit running a Windows 7 OS.
iCloud fails when connected. An error message appears: "Outlook DAV Config is not responding".
I have removed Windows Mobile Devices from the PC.
How do I get this iPhone 4S to sync with my home office PC?

Maybe you can try this way:

ICloud syncing with outlook mac

Hi,
Has this been sorted out. I would like to be able to create or view a meeting or contact on my Mac(Outlook 2011), iphone, ipad or icloud(any computer) and have it automatically sync with the other devices in this list?
Can anyone point me to a solution or is this still not working.
Cheers
David

Microsoft have still not added support for the industry standard CalDAV and CardDAV protocols iCloud uses.
See: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2648915
The solution is to use the Apple provided Mac applications (Mail, Address Book and iCal) which are fully iCloud compatible and supported.

Icloud sync with outlook 2010

I have been syncing my iCloud email account with Outllook 2010 for months using the IMAP settings of p05-imap.mail.me.com
Today I am unable to connect... several different devices which have used the same settings... on multiple wifi's... Is the IMAP server down?

http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12081
Key points of this article:
- To use iCloud Notes, your iCloud account must have an @icloud.com email address.
- You can see your iCloud notes by expanding your iCloud account in the Outlook sidebar, then selecting the Notes folder for the account.

HT4191 Since 'upgrading' to ios6 notes no longer sync with outlook

Why does Apple always make life harder everytime I let them upgrade IOS? Why don't I trust my intuition and stick with the IOS I've got used to? It took me a while to discover that Notes on iphones are associated for an inexplicable reason to an email account and that it defaulted to my gmail account. I then set it to default (for new notes) to an account called 'on my iphone'. Magically IOS 5 synced these notes to my Outlook. Perfect. I 'upgrade' to IOS 6 and Notes 'on my iphone' no longer sync with Outlook (quite apart from now finding the new itunes a nightmare to use).

Apple doesn’t routinely monitor the discussions. These are mostly user to user discussions.
Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

Fixing iphone sync with outlook

There are multiple threads about problems snycing iTunes with Outlook (iPad, iPhone etc.). This affects Outlook calendar and contacts, often creating multiple contact lists and false calendar entires, often pre-fixed "ModGrp" or ModCal". After multiple tries I think I have figured out what you need to do: here's what worked for me, I hope it works for you.
First the cause. If your PC/Mac has crashed with Outlook open you probably have bad data in Outlook. Most software is fault-tolerant to this but not iTunes (my seventh software to link to Outlook and the only one not fault tolerant, so I'm certain it's an iTunes problem). I have written this for solving contact problems with explanation afterwards for calendars (you'll change item 6 and read the footnote). Read the instructions first so you know what you're about to do. You will have to rename a folder and delete your iPhones history but otherwise that's about it.
1)    Download scanpst.exe from Microsoft, instructions are at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/272227. Print this, you'll need it at step 5
2)    Close both Outlook and iTunes
3)    Got to C:\Users\[Your username]\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\
       In File Manager use Folder Options from the Tools menu and select Show hiden files and folders from the View Tab, if you can't see this folder
4)    Rename the folder \SyncServices as \SyncServices.old or something. Once you have finished you can delete this folder
5)    Use scanpst.exe (step 1 above) to fix your Outlook file. Instructions for this are at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/272227 noted above
6)    When scanpst is complete and has closed, open Outlook and go to your contact list. Select each ModGrp and hit Delete, then confirm deletion
7)    Be sure not to delete any contact lists that you want to retain, then close Outlook
8)    Open iTunes with your iPhone/Pad/iWhatever plugged in to USB and select iPhone/iPad/iWhatever
9)    Select your iWhatever in the Devices list on the left and select Preferences from the Edit menu at the top
10) Click the Devices button in the dialog box and click Reset Snyc History, just in case. Click OK to close the Dialog Box
11) At the top of your iPhone Device window click the Info button (second from the left right at the top)
12) Deselect Contacts, Calendars and Mail options so iTunes doesn't sync with Outlook in any way
      You'll get a prompt to remove contacts/whatever lists from your iWhatever device. Choose the Remove Contacts button
13) Hit Apply or Sync (bottom right of iTunes). This should have cleared iTunes of bad ModGrp sync lists and iPhone contacts etc.
      Next we'll restore these from Outlook
14) Reselect to sync with Outlook Contacts, Calendars and Mail - the options you deselected in step 12. Hit Apply or Sync
      The above should restore all the valid contact and other data from Outlook onto your iPhone etc
15) Once sync has completed reopen Outlook and check the bad MdGrp lists have gone. Unplug iPhone and check you don't have multiple ModGrp lists
I haven't had calender problems but my understanding from posts to this forum is that in step 6 above, you may have to export the appointments calendars from your calendar and then delete the calendar. It's much more involved than having a contacts list problem.
If you choose to tidy up aftwards, go back to steps 3 and 4 and delete the backup .old folder as iTunes created a new one when you opened it at step 8.
I have run the above three times now and it works every time. Since every tenth or so time I open iTunes it causes my PC to lock, usually with Outlook open, so I expect this to be a frequent event. iTunes is well documented as a digustingly bad piece of software and seems to be the penalty we pay for having an iPhone, which actually works. Maybe when Apple adopts Flash I'll buy an iPad and double the number of times I have to run it, but not otherwise. iTunes and Flash are the two main reasons I have not bought a Mac or iPad.
Have fun.

Hi, to remove dummy '_ModGrp' entries, rather than crashing the 'Suppr' key on your keyboard, you can use this basic VBA macro (launched for instance from Excel).
It will recursively remove all '_ModGrp...' folders
Sub RemoveFolders_Click()
    Dim oOutlook As Outlook.Application
    Set oOutlook = New Outlook.Application
    Set objNameSpace = oOutlook.GetNamespace("MAPI")
    Call CleanFolders(objNameSpace.Folders)
End Sub
Sub CleanFolders(objFolders As Outlook.Folders)
    For i = objFolders.Count To 1 Step -1
        If Left(objFolders(i).Name, 7) = "_ModGrp" Then
            objFolders.Remove( i )
        Else
            If Not objFolders(i).Folders Is Nothing Then
                Call CleanFolders(objFolders(i).Folders)
            End If
        End If
    Next i
End Sub
