Setup can't continue because Outlook isn't configured to have a default profile. Check your Outlook settings and try again.
I have Windows 7 Home Prem, 64 Bit, MS Office 2010 Professional Plus 64 Bit, iTunes 10.5, IOS 5.0.1 on 2 iPhone 4s and an iPad2. I can turn on Photo Stream, Bookmarks and Outlook in iCloud Control Panel. I can not turn on Calendars or Contacts. I get the error in the subject of this msg.
I have configured the Outlook PROFILE 6 different ways and it still does not resolve the problem.
What I did was install iCloud again - uninstall it properly so everything goes - reinstall iCloud in a separate directory and finally it worked. This may be all you need to do - but in case there are other things I did that helped see below.
This was after I had actually installed and reinstalled Outlook. In between I actually upgraded from 2010 to 2013 Outlook which I installed, uninstalled, reinstalled, repaired - as you have done.
I also absolutely cleared the Outlook calendar to remove not only repeating entries but all entries - put it in List View to do this. Some have said that recurring entries in Outlook cause problems.
I actually exported my Outlook email and imported back in under a different profile and deleted the Outlook profile - renamed my new profile Outlook - but that I don't think made much difference.
I believe that the clean install of iCloud worked. Also I had deleted the Sync file long ago - you can find it in Outlook if you look for your data files - there's one with an obscure name - I deleted that and moved it.
I got rid of the Outlook Config file - it's in Roaming, not Local - username/AppDat/Microsoft/Outlook/YOURPROFILE.XML - you can actually set profiles from the Control Panel if you go to Mail....

Can't get my Icloud to connect to outlook. Error message - setup can't continue because outlook isn't configured to have a default profile. Help! Can't sync my contacts or calender with my other devices. Email works fine. Steve
I've looked at the Microsoft support info and it doesn't reveal anything new. I looked up the eM Client software and have decided to give it a try. I've been using Thunderbird and Gmail for years, but the issue of keeping contacts in snyc accross platforms led me to try Outlook as supposedly compatable with iCloud. Thanks for eM Client tip. It seems to work well and I'll be testing it for the next few weeks. While I'd still like to be able to solve the issue with Outlook (I'm not used to being defeated by software), I've got plenty of other things to keep me busy and a working solution is the priority here.
Thanks for the tip! -
Outlook isn't configured to have a default profile
This is the latest error message in trying to get Outlook and iCloud to Sync. I actually had it working on Win 8 with Outlook 2010. The sync file was corrupted and I foolishly said Delete connection to Exchange - thinking I did not have an Exchange server. Since then the connection to iCloud did not work.
After upgrading to Outlook 2013 - 64-bit and uninstalling and reinstalling both it and iCloud and changing profile in Outlook 2013.
I still get an error message:
"outlook isn't configured to have a default profile"
This comes when I check Mail, etc. in the iCloud app on my Win 8 64-bit PC. The Outlook is also 64-bit.I solved this myself. I installed iCloud - so that I could uninstall it properly. Then I uninstalled it. Then I installed it again in a new directory. Then it worked. Phew!

When trying to sign in to Face Time, I continually get "Face time Activation" "Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again". I am able to access the internet via Safari, so my network connection seems to be working. What am I doing wrong, and how can I access Face Time?
Hey sklingen,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues signing into FAceTime. The following article may help to resolve your issue:
iOS: Troubleshooting FaceTime and iMessage activation
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4268
You may also want to reset your network settings:
Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Note: this will delete any network related settings (saved Wi-Fi passwords, etc), it will not erase any content from your device.
Thanks,

I can't use FaceTime because I always get the following message: "Cannot sign in. Check your network connection and try again." My connection is good.
Check your timezone settings.
I've seen numerous people passing with FaceTime & iMessage issues and almost always the problem was the time zone.
For some odd reason sometimes the timezone sticks to Cupertino and Facetime & iMessage won't work. -

I can not sign into iMessage since i updated my phone. Message pops up saying: "Could not sign in, please check your network connection and try again."
You can read through this:

Apple is aware of a problem with a number of users & has promised a fix is on the way. -
When I try to sign into my iMessage account, it pops up 'could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again'. I've checked my connection and it works perfectly. What can I do?
You could try going into settings then messages and seeing if you have it turned on. You will need to use your apple ID then, hope that helps.

Since I updated my software to 7 on my iPhone 5 today, I can not sign in to iMessage of Facetime?? I get an error message that says "could not sign in. please check your network connection and try again". My network connection is fine on every other device in the house including my husbands iphone that has not been updated yet? Anyone have this happen and have any solutions? I spent an hour on the phone with apple today and they said this is happening a lot and see if it resolves itself in 24 hours? Wow - thanks...
While we all have MacBooks in this forum not all of us use FaceTime. There's a FaceTime Support Community where everybody uses FaceTime. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer. https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_app_store/facetime_for_mac

Am from India. when i tried to turn on face time the error displayed is" Could not sign in. Check your network connection and try again". how can it be resolved?
If you are using someone else's WiFi they may have restrictions in place.
(cofee shop, etc..)
Have you tried connecting using at least more than one particular WiFi network ?
You might want to try googling for a bandwidth test site
verify you have reasonable throughput..
1 megabit up and 1 megabit down..
(bandwidthplace.com is what I typically use..) -
