Linking Microsoft Outlook and Icloud contact info

How do I link Icloud contacts and info to my new Microsoft Outlook 2010.

Outlook and icloud contacts and mail sync OK but calendar will not. Why?

I have Outlook 2010 on a Win 7 PC. iCloud syncs Mail and Contacts with my iP4 and Outlook without any problems but Outlook Calendar will not. iCloud set up procedure worked fine with Contacts and Mail. But when setup is run for Calendar, a message pop up says that iCloud Mail must be "enabled" in Outlook before Calendar can be synced.
iCloud Mail has been setup on iP4 and in Outlook. I can send and receive test messages to "me.com" from the iP but can't send test messages from the "me.com" account setup in Outlook. When I try to send a test message from Outlook mail account setup a dialog box asks for my "me.com" password which I enter but then asks me again and again until I finally give up. So, I think I've set it up but clearly, it's not been "enabled" to allow syncing with Calendar even though Contacts and Mail seems to work. BTW, Outlook navigation pane (left side) shows an iCloud folder in both Contacts and Mail but NOT in Calendar. Which shows, I think, that Calendar has indeed not been enabled.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Outlook and iCloud Calendar Syncing

My workplace uses an outlook exchange based email and calendar service, and i have to use this to manage my meetings and whatnot. Is there some way I can sync this with my icloud calendar in order to share it with other icloud users?

Hi - I had a look at the article, but that just says that they are not able to work together or sync.
Are there any third party solutions to this?
I just want to be able to see the tasks that I have in my Exchange account sync with Iphone (which is fine), but then also sync with iCloud.com (which I cant do - iCloud cannot see any Exchange related data I think).
Any work arounds?
Thanks
Neil

Ovi Suite 2 and 3 contact sync with Outlook 2007 i...

Hi all,
New user of an e71.
I have Windows 7 32 bit
Outlook 2007
I have tried both versions of Ovi Suite (2 and 3), and the contact sync is absolutely terrible. I have no confidence that I am getting the proper info at either place. It either munges the contact at the phone, or in Outlook.
A simple fix for this would be to follow RIM's lead, and allow OVI to choose (before the sync), which side wins when in conflict. (or stop the sync on each conflict,and allow us to choose the one which is correct)
Anyhow, after fighting OVI for over two weeks, I uninstalled OVI and tried PC Suite 7 for the first time, and it synced my contacts and all other notes, tasks, and calendar items like magic.
Love the GUI on OVI Suite, but I can't keep fighting this sync issue.

Outlook and iCloud, could they sync continually?

I just recently set up icloud on all my devices, I have an iphone and an HP computer. I use Outlook quite often and I love that it synchonizes with OneNote (a note taking program which is part of the Microsoft Office programs). OneNote allows me to create tasks inside of my notes, tasks which appear on Outlook, which then reminds me on my phone or my computer. However ever since I synced Outlook with iCloud this has not worked out. While Outlook and OneNote still sync perfectly, iCloud does not recieve any of the new tasks.
Is there a setting somewhere that will fix this? Is there anyway to keep uploading the Outlook calendar/tasks to iCloud?
If anyone has a solution I would greatly appreciate it!

Ah yes, forgot to mention that it looks fine on my iPhone and iPad. And by fine I mean it's identical to icloud.com/mail.

Data in my iMac address book and iCloud contacts do not match.

The data in my iMac address book and iCloud contacts are different. How can I get my iCloud data to accruately reflect that of my iMac address book? It appears to be an initial synchronization issue. New entries synchronize fine. Appears that initial entries in my Address Book are not showing up in the iCloud Contacts list. Hense, My iPhone coantacts don't match those in my iMac.
Is there a way to clean out my iCloud contacts on reload/re-sychronize it with my iMac Address Book?

Nuts isn't it. This seems to have been an issue snce dAY 1. iT FROSTS ME THAT THERE IS NO SIMPLE QUICK WAY TO UPDATE OR CORRECT the data in both programs simultaneously.. Thats why i decided to just put everytning into the i cloud address brook, and let the one other sit and rot.
then i got smart and said, why don't I delete the outlookaddress book files. and save on confusion.
result - both addresses books and their contents became invisible to outlook.!!!!!! and I can find no way to correct this...to go back to the imperfect world that was.
I did get the outlook contact s back from an archive - but any thing from icloud has become inaccessible from outlook. (fortunately i can get the vcard infformation directly from icloud. but I can't access it from outlook mail.... means no replying, forwarding etc - and a time swallowing nuisance..

Why don't my iCloud contacts sync on mini pad with iPhone?

Why don't my iCloud contacts sync on mini pad with iPhone?

When you add a contact to your iPad Mini, does it appear on icloud.com when you check from your computer?

My calendar on my iPhone and iCloud will sync between each other. But my iPad will not synch.

Icloud contacts sync with outlook contacts?

I have got my contacts in icloud but i cannot sync these with outlook contacts si i have two lists and the outlook list is not kept uptodate . How do i sync both and keep them synced. Also my sansung smart phone takes the outlook calender and contacts and i want to sync both systems.??

Tell iCloud what to sync.
Have you installed the iCloud control panel on the computer? Without that, nothing will sync from the computer to iCloud.

ICloud Contacts Sync with Outlook 2007

I have an iPhone5 and an iPad2. I have been using iCloud to sync Contacts between these two devices for a few days without any problems.
Today I installed iCloud Control Panel on my PC (running Windows 7 and Outlook 2007) to let me keep Contacts in sync between my iPhone5, iPad2 and Outlook.
Everything seems to be working correctly and Contacts are in sync between all three devices. However, in Outlook I see a message at the bottom of the window which says "Synchronising Hierarchy" - there is a rotating icon to the right of the message. This message has been displayed for the last 3 hours.
Does this indicate some aspect of sync is still in progress or is there a problem?
Thanks in anticipation of your help.

On his phone, sign in Settings>iCloud and enable Mail so that he can have his own email address. Then add your account in Settings>Mail, Contacts & Calendars and enable Contacts and Calendars. They will then appear on his phone alongside any syncing he has set up. This will keep your emails separate, or you can add Mail as well so that you can both access that if you want. You can add his account in the same way on your phone and enable any data types you want to sync.

How to sync both on my mac and icloud contacts

Why do I have calendars and contacts for both "On my Mac" and "iCloud"? I want them to sync together so I don't have to edit both. How do I go about syncing them as one?

On my mac calendars are intended to be private calendars that aren't synced, if you merely want all your calendars synced delete any calendars that are on my mac (or just uncheck them to hide them - make your default calendar an iCloud calendar) and just use iCloud calendars.
If you have any appointments in your on my mac calendars, double click them to edit and change the calendar to an iCloud calendar before deleting or hiding.

Difficulty keeping Google Contacts and iCloud in sync

I have an iPhone, an iPad, and a Gmail account. I'd like to keep my contacts consistent across all of them, but I'm finding this to be very difficult.
I followed the instructions on here which seemed to work for editing linked contacts. But there is a problem with this approach: when using my iphone, I can only add contacts on one of the two accounts (either gmail or icloud) but not both at the same time. If I'm in "all contacts" and click the add contact button, it will only add a contact in the account designated as "default account" in the iOS contact settings.
Is there a better way to keep all contacts synced?

Since you are using Google, you might consider not trying to add iCloud in the mix, and just sync your Google contacts to your iDevices. There are many web pages which will walk you through how to setup your Google account on your iPhone or iPad as if it were an Exchange account. Going that route, you can then select to sync your contacts over the air between Google and your mobile device. I used that for about a year, then I made the full switch to iCloud.I've debated about going back, but I haven't gotten that desperate yet.

Outlook 2013 and iCloud contacts and calendar?

What does it take to get outlook 2013 to access my iCloud contacts and calendar?
I can log into ICloud and see my contacts and my calendar. My iPhone works with iCloud just fine.
However, Outlook 2013 doesn't know iCloud has a calendar or contacts and I cannot access them. I have tried to add my iCloud contact file to Outlook 2013 but i must not be doing that correctly. I have tried to add my ICloud calendar file to outlook 2013 but i must not be doing that correctly either, In Outlook 2013, when I click on either the "Calendar" or "People" at the bottom of the Outlook screen, what comes up is blank, no contacts, no calendar items. I can long into iCloud and see the calendar and contacts just fine.
Surely, someone must know how to get this to work. I must not be adding the contact file or calendar file correctly in the Outlook 2013 Account Settings. I cannot find any place where it discusses these settings. I have tried to add them as https://www.icloud.com/#contacts or #calendar. That has not worked. Can anyone explain to me what I have to do to get these two products to communicate with each other?
Gary

I have to say that I have gone through this setup several times by removing the check items on the icloud control panel and rechecking them and it accomplished nothing. This time when I opened up the icloud control panel, the calendar item was unchecked. Don't know why. I checked it and it went through a process of moving a few thousand items into outlook. When I opened outlook, my contacts and calendar items were there.
Thank you for the guidance. I have contacts and calendar items available now. Great news.
