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.

Outlook and iCloud won't sync since Windows 8.1 upgrade

So I've finally figured out my problem, but have no solution. The problem is that ever since I upgraded to Windows 8.1, Outlook "forgets" that the iCloud add-in is enabled. Every time I start Outlook, I have to manually go into options and re-enable the add-in. After that, syncing calendars and contacts to iCloud and my iPhone works just fine. In order to fix this, I figured out that I can set Outlook to run as an administrator. Works perfectly, as in now having the add-in enabled automatically. I thought this was the end of my troubles, but now Outlook no longer syncs with iCloud. Tried everything, and it just won't.I read on another thread that Outlook won't sync when you run it as an administrator. And sure enough, switching back to NOT running it as an administrator fixed the problem, in that it now syncs again. However, I'm stuck with re-enabling the add-in every time I start Outlook. Is there no other way to do this?

I don't use playlists. Maybe as a workaround you could try music software other than Windows Media Player, like Media Monkey
http://www.mediamonkey.com/
And see if you have better luck.
The free version of Mediamonkey should do playlists for you; what you get with the Gold (paid) version, mostly, is an mp3 ripper, but you can also install an mp3 ripper without buying it.

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.

Sync Outlook and iCloud

Hello!
PING to the server was lost imap.mail.me.com
Because of this I can not sync Outlook folders and iCloud?
What do I do?

You have to create your iCloud account on an iOS device such as your iPad (by going to Settings>iCloud and signing in with your Apple ID), or on a Mac running OS X Lion or higher. After creating the account, you can download and install the iCloud Control Panel for Windows on your PC from here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/pc.html (requires Vista SP2 or higher), then sign into your iCloud account, as explained here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/pc.html.

TS3999 Outlook and Icloud calendars : how to set up?

After a prompt from my PC I just installed the Icloud syn on my PC and allowed it to sync my Outlook calendar and contacts.
Instead of duplicating them as I thought they all have been sucked into Icloud. Totally unacceptable!!
Outlook is my work tool - the contacts are my work contacts. I want them in Icloud as well but not exclusively. All my day to day work is in Outlook!!
How do I get it back as it was. URGENT!!!

I don't mind keeping it as a duplicate - but my contacts and calendar have to be in Outlook.
For example, I just scheduled a meeting from an email for this afternoon using the meeting button - it went to Outlook. But it is pretty lonely in there now since all the other meetings are in Icloud.
If icloud works too then even better.

Working with outlook and icloud

I use a PC (windows 7) with Outlook 2007. I bought an iphone 5 and would like to work with the cloud.
My outlook is configured as follows:
I have two google-based account (one gmail, one google app)
I have a calendar which is synced with my calendar in google.
I woudl like to have the calendar visible in icloud, so I installed icloud for PC. However, I now have two different calednars - the default calendar and the icloud calendar (I deleted the Work/Home calendars as I didn't see the point to this distinction).
For some reason, the icloud calendar doesn't have everythgin from the defualt calendar. Also, new entries from accepting invitations go to the default calednar.
I read I can change the default to icloud (tools -> account settings -> data files), but when I tried that Outlook said that this would also change the default location for the e-mails and that the new location doesn't support multilingual unicode data.
I didn't want this to effect my emails, so I cancedled
So what should I do?

You should use Google services or iCloud services, they don't talk to each other and they do the same things (generally)
Choose one.

What you have experienced, though annoying, doesn't necessarily mean someone has hacked your account, though if you were finding that you were blocked because the sending limit had been reached that might indicate that you had been hacked.
What can happen is that when people receive emails which appear to come from their own address but they haven't sent they naturally tend to be concerned: however it's most unlikely that anyone has hacked their account, they've just been targeted by one of two common spammers' techniques: both arise because it's all too easy to forge the 'from' address on messages to be something other than the real one.
There are two methods. One is that the sender has forged the 'from' address to be the same as the 'to' address (so other people will see it coming from themselves, not you), presumably in the hope of confusing spam filters. It's harmless, if extremely annoying. Delete it (never ever answer spam or try to unsubscribe from it), and you don't need to be worried about it.
The other problem is that a spammer is forging your address as the 'from' address on a whole batch of messages. The first thing you hear about this is when you start getting bounce messages because the spam has been sent to non-existent addresses and is being bounced to you. There's no point at all in responding to it. It's infuriating but normally stops after a bit as they move on to another forged address.
There isn't really anything you can do about it: closing the account isn't really worth the hassle unless you are totally swamped, because you will have to tell everyone your new address. Apple can't really do any more than they already are about spam. However changing your password on general principles is a good idea.

TS3999 MS Outlook and iCloud not synching

I've updated a recurring event in MS Outlook, but iCloud won't update...even going to iCloud and making the change it doesn't update.
I've logged out of icloud, logged back in, tried updating again with negative results.

Explain mail and iCloud...sync all accounts?

Can someone explain if iCloud syncs your email addresses and email across devices? I have a handful of email accounts (work, personal, band, etc). I mainly use mail on my iPhone and my pc...never on my iPad because if I receive an email there, I won't have it on my phone later it I need access to it.
Does iCloud sync email accounts across devices? If so, how can I set this up to work?
To clarify, I want to open mail on my phone, receive new mail, close the mail app...then go to my iPad, open mail app and see the new mail I just received on the phone. Is this possible without having to do any forwarded with the me.com account?
Thanks in advance

I tried it all. Didn't work.
I also do have the same problem as described here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/21993223#21993223.
The iCloud mail configuration from within System Preferences > iCloud does not work. I can tick Contacts and Notes but the sync does not work either.
Really not sure what to try next.

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?
3rd Gen iPad, iOS 5.1
Thanks

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

How do i upload Pages documents and folders to iCloud and make sure they sync on all my devices?

Hi,
I'm new to iCloud and don't really know how to use it yet. I have a desktop Mac, a Macbook Pro laptop and an iPad. Currently all my Pages documents are on my desktop computer. I would like to upload them to iCloud and then have it set so that they automatically sync and I can access them on all my devices. I want to make sure I always have the most up to date version of a document when I open it on any device, without having to update manually. Can anyone tell me please how I do this? Can I keep them in folders (there are a lot of documents!).
Also, because I just upgraded Pages and was previously using Pages 09 it keeps asking me each time I open a document if I want to upgrade it to the current Pages. Can I somehow set this as default now so I won't keep having to say yes?
Thanks for any help!

To use icloud, enable it (using the same Apple ID) on all your devices. If you move a document that already exists to iCloud, it will automatically be available to all your devices. Ditto on new doc: if you save it to icloud when you name it, it will automatically be available to all your devices. If you make a change on one device, you'll be prompted on other devices to pick the one you want to keep,
One BIG proviso: pages 5.1, and Pages for icloud, are VERY BUGGY. Users here complain of corrupted files, lost data, the program hanging, etc. DO NOT user them for anything you care about.
Also, Pages 5.1, as exhaustively documented here, is a pale shadow of Pages 4.3. Nearly a hundred features present in 4.3 are not present in Pages 5.1, including such basic things as mail merge, bookmarks, meaningful Applescript and Services support. You cannot even set the default zoom, reliably export documents with links to a PDF, or view comments while editing (nor can you print comments). It is useless for page layout since you can no longer view a page spread, nor set alernating left/right margins and headers and footers. A lot of advance typographical support has gone missing, too. Non contgious text selection? Gone. How many pages in your document? You have to dig down in the little "word count" bubble (after turning it on) to find out. Why? As an early review put it, Pages 5 is an "unmitigated disaster."
To stop being promted to update, go to system preferences and uncheck "automatically check for updates."

Outlook and Driod will not sync with iCloud

After the migration from mobileme to icloud my mac email is working just fine, however that's it, I can't get anything non Apple to receive email.

Any help would be dearly, greatly appreciated!!!

Syncing Comcast Outlook and iCloud

I need to sync my Comcast Outlook Contacts onto my iCloud on my new laptop. First, how do I configure my Comcast Outlook onto the new laptop? Second, does the syncing happen automatically?

Correction to that - if I add something to iCal on my desktop, it does (eventually!) show up on Outlook. But not if I add it to my phone or icloud.com.
So Outlook will go outwards, to phone but nowhere else.
And will accept inwards from desktop, but nowhere else.
Completely illogical!

Outlook and iCloud - contacts & syncing

I have Outlook 2007 ... and am finding that recent contact updates are not updating into my iCloud account. Any suggestions on how to make the sync work again?

Go through the troubleshooting steps listed under "Troubleshooting contact update or setup issues with Microsoft Windows (Microsoft Outlook)" in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3998.

I am getting a sync error between iphone and Outlook 2007: ITunes could not sync calendars to the iphone because the sync server failed to sync the iphone. How can I fix this?

I have the "sync calendars" checked.
This happens about every three months and drives me crazy!
I have a 2G iphone on T-Mobile.

i use outlook for my work email, but my personal email is in gmail. besides work email, i do not use outlook at all.
i get my work email on my iPhone, but i do not sync calendars and contacts as i have to use an imap connection for work, and this does not allow for calendar or contact syncing.
i have seen a gmail/outlook sync tool, but i am afraid i do not use it so i can not offer any help with it.
