Outlook and iCloud

I have recently signed up to iCloud to use it to synchronise various stuff, not least my contacts.  As part of this process, I synchronised with my Outlook contacts, and have discovered that the process has deleted all my local Outlook contacts, and moved everything into the cloud.
I do not want this, and want to have all the contacts held locally in Outlook as well as in the cloud.
Can anyone tell me whether I can do this, and how it can be done?

Csound1 - thank you for your thought - I do want to use iCloud, but I do not want it to assume that I do not want to hold my contacts locally with no reference to my preferences.  I want my main storage location to be Outlook, which synchronizes to iCloud and Apple devices

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Windows 8 mail app, has my icloud account on but none of my icloud contacts depsite merging outlook and icloud on the icloud control panel... Help?? :)

    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.

  • 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. 

  • 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.

  • Duplicate entries using outlook and iCloud

    How to restore original calendar in outlook after getting duplicate entries using iCloud between an iPhone and a PC

    Good point.  Actually, even the wireless sync can cause the problem.  "Sync iCal Calendars" in the "Info" tab should be UNCHECKED.

  • TS3999 The calendar in Outlook (and icloud) doesn't print all the events.  Only a few items are printed.

    I joined icloud and now have 3 calendars in Outlook: Calendar in iCloud, Calendar (2) in iCloud and Local Calendar in iCloud.  When I try and print the calendar only a few items print.  Most of the items/events in the calendar on the computer are not on the printed calendar.  Has anyone else had that problem?  How do I get in touch with an iCloud support person? 

    Thanks Carolyn for the swift reply.
    Tried on both but unfortunately didn't work for me.
    I will create a new calendar called "Birthdays1" and will enter all birthdays again to see if that works.
    Problem seems to be only with the Birthday calendar so might be corrupted over time?
    Find it strange though that the Birthday calendar does appear correct and complete on my iCloud account online.

  • MS Outlook and iCloud.

    I hve been using outlook as my email program for years without any trouble.  Recently it stopped working and I get the message that my username/password or security settings are incorrect. 
    I can, go out to Icloud and get on mt mail program just fine but the Id & password I use on icloud is my Apple ID.  When I kkey the same information into my Outlook account I get the same message.  Has something changed recently to cause this problem?
    Thanks

  • 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?

    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

  • Linking Microsoft Outlook and Icloud contact info

  • 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!
