TS3988 where does iCloud Control Panel keep its error logs

I have a problem with my iCloud control Panel.
There is a small yellow triangle with an exclamation mark, indicating there is some sort of error, but there is absolutely no way of finding out what the error is. I have looked everywhere on my system for anything resembling  an error log for iCloud Control Panel yet i havent found a thing.
Does anyone here know where it might be located and how i can find out what the error is to fix it

Hi, Korgun. Your short version is a little too short and your long version much too complicated for me to be certain I understand your situation correctly, but I'll take a shot.
Every volume (a hard drive, or a partition on a hard drive, or a CD, DVD, etc.) that has OS 9 installed on it contains an invisible Desktop Folder, and in that folder are all the items that appear on the desktop when you boot into OS 9, except your hard drive and the Trash.
The fact that you can't boot to either OS on your old drive suggests that its directory may be damaged, in which case it wouldn't be surprising if, in addition to being unable to boot to it, you also couldn't find some things on it. If that drive mounts normally on the desktop when you boot into OS X on the other drive, use the Repair Disk function in Disk Utility (open the copy of DU on the good drive after making sure nothing is running on the bad one) to try to fix the directory on the bad drive. Run the Repair Disk routine repeatedly until you've gotten two successive "Appears OK" verdicts. Assuming DU is successful, you should then be able to double-click the Desktop folder on the repaired drive and access all the files that are on that drive's OS 9 desktop.
If I've misunderstood your situation, my apologies, and would you please try to clarify matters?

    Hi,
    In the Finder use the Go Menu whilst holding down the ALT key.
    Select the Library that appears when you do this.
    Navigate to Containers/com.apple.soagent/Data/Library/Preferences
    You will notice that many of the items are Aliases (to the Originals in ~/Library/Preferences).
    But there are exceptions.
    Delete (Drag to Trash)  the com.apple.soagent.plist and com.apple.messageshelper.AccountInfoController.plist
    Restart the Mac (I have not worked out is SOAgent launches when the Mac does).
    Restart Messages.
    If this does not work navigate to ~/Library/Preferences
    In here find and Delete com.apple.ids.service.com.apple.madrid.plist
    This will need a Restart of the app.
    You will be asked Again for your Apple ID

  • How do i remove the settings and preferences of the iCloud Control Panel?

    I had problems with my Office 365 (Outlook 2013) and making it work with iCloud. I repaired the install of my office 2013, but the iCloud Control Panel keeps giving me an error as it thinks the icloud integration for Outlook 2013 is still installed....which it isnt.
    I cannot revert to the setting i had with only Photostream active.
    The only solution was to uninstall the iCloud Control Panel. I tried deleting some files from users->roaming->apple, which looked like preference files. But after reinstalling iCloud Control Panel, it immediately opened the old setting which it remembered somehow and uninstalling didnt deletet, stating the faulty Office connection is active...which it isnt.
    Pity i cant even now use photostream, to have my images on my desktop. I know i should buy a mac..where you can jus simply delete preference files from the user library. But does anyone know how to really delete every install history of the iCloud Control Panel on a pc. So i can do a clean install and start using photostream again
    Any help is much appreciated

    thank you for taking the time to reply to my issue. was there something i did that caused this to happen and if so, can i undo it? a second problem has now surfaced; i cannot get my firefox to load. i tried the suggestion in an article on this site i.e., to bring up the Task Manager and end the process for firefox.exe so i can uninstall/reinstall the firefox application. this does not work for me. HELP! i'd much rather use firefox than explorer.

  • ICloud Control Panel 2.0 for Windows 64 bit

    Does iCloud Control Panel 2.0 work with Windows 7 64 bit? If so can you give me the link to the direct iCloud Control Panel for Windows 64 bit.

    Download link for iCloud Control Panel 2.0 for Windows. There is no mention of 32/64 bit versions on the page so presumably this is a 32-bit program capable of running on all flavours of Windows from Vista SP2 upwards.

  • ICloud Control Panel 2.1.2 causes Outlook 2013 to crash

    Does iCloud Control Panel 2.1.2 support Outlook 2013?
    If not, when will it?

    Thanks all.
    Was checking to see if the issue Samorren has discovered in the following post might have been in play for you:
    iTunes 11.1.4.62 freezes while syncing with Outlook
    (Similar issues can hit iTunes and the iCloud machinery, because they both use files from Apple Application Support ... hence the quick check of your situation over here.)

    Hi,
    Are you running any Anti-virus software or do you have your firewall turned on? If so, disable them and try again. If that doesn't work, delete the iCloud account and then sign it back on again.
    Make sure you are running the most current version of the iCloud Control Panel:

  • Beware: icloud control panel DOES NOT WORK for icloud email

    Opposing evidence is welcome. Please comment.
    After dozens of hours, emails and chat sessions with both MS and Apple tech support (the latter escalated as high as it could go - "after this we have to refer you to engineering"), I was finally told by Apple Senior Advisor Ciara Ferguson that icloud control panel does not properly sync icloud mail with Outlook 365 (Outlook 2013).  After several months of working on dual systems I discovered that many (but not all) changes to folder names and filing of emails in various folders made in Outlook were not reflected on icloud and vice versa.   Ms. Ferguson has stated that icloud control panel "works better with calendar and contacts."  Obviously, this non-committal statement is grossly insufficient.  It either works or it doesn't.  It doesn't. 
    Allegedly, icloud control panel does work to sync other email (the example of an outlook.com email address was given) into apple devices.  This doesn't sound right to me either, since one can just add any POP or IMAP or Exchange account into a Mac device, so why would one need icloud control panel to interface?
    I remain stymied as to the actual purpose of icloud control panel, despite asking exactly that question of Ms. Ferguson on several occasions.  The Apple literature and its own setup screens suggest that it will sync email, contacts, calendar and notes with MS Outlook, but as to email, that is apparently untrue.

    I don't think so.  I'd like to sync photostream from two iPhones with distinct Apple IDs on our PCs and I don't see a way to do it.  It synced my wife's iPhone while she was logged in to iCloud control panel but not mine until I logged in (and disconnected her photostream PC syncing).

  • I downloaded the iCloud control panel on my PC but can't sign in - message says "This apple ID is valid but not an iCloud account. I've tried the account set up several times but it keeps just spinning me in circles. Can you help?

    I downloaded the iCloud control panel on my PC but can't sign in - message says "This apple ID is valid but not an iCloud account. I've tried the account set up several times but it keeps just spinning me in circles, asking me to sign in and then I get the same message again. This is getting frustrating and I really don't seem to be able to get help. I can't contact customer support because I have a PC and there is a serial number of an apple device required.Can anyone help please?

    You can't setup (create) an iCloud account using a PC. You must use an Apple device, a Mac or an iPhone etc. Once you have created an account you can sign in from your PC.

  • Icloud control panel does not install properly but only when trying to sync with Outlook 2010.  If I try to sync photos, etc. it works just fine

    Downloaded icloud control panel to Win 7.  Everything seems ok until you "apply" synching at the icloud control panel.  Then you get an error message that says "icloud control panel did not install properly".  Repairing in Windows control panel as suggested does not help.  If you do not try to sync Outlook data (2010) then it seems to work just fine.

    I was able to finally stop ITunes from crashing after many days of searching n restarting my computer many times.
    a) First I went to this site ->http://forums.techarena.in/guides-tutorials/1119812.htm that showed me how to disable DPE. Please make sure that u have good virus...etc.. protection first before doing this. I have Avast Internet Security. RESTART UR COMPUTER..
    b) I then uninstall ITunes by following this site ->http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923      RESTART UR COMPUTER..
    c) I then downloaded a beta version of ITunes. I happen to download beta 7 before the final of 10.5 version came out. Installed it. After installing I click on it n it said somewhere along the line of "this ITune ver. expired" I checked in my Programs n Features n notice that QuickTime was installed w that beta version.   
    d) Go online n download the final version of ITunes ->http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ ...... After u finish dling install that. After that's done connect your IPod, IPhone...etc... n click on ITunes, it should sync all the way.
    I was finally able to sync all thru the steps insteading of it crashing on me midway. Hopefully this will work for you. Good luck !

  • ICloud Control Panel does not recognize Outlook

    I installed the iCloud Control Panel but it doesn't seem to be recognizing Outlook.  In the Control Panel header, it says "Install Outlook to use Mail, Contacts and Calendars.  Outlook 2010 is installed and the iCloud Outlook Add-In is installed and running.

    I have the same setup as sceloglaux (Win 7 64 bit Home, iPhone 3GS, Outlook 2010).
    I tried a reboot, uninstall, reboot again, disable and close anything I can, then reinstall. Still the same problem.
    Athough I'm not sure if I got this message before:
    Outlook Setup Error
    Your setup couldn't be started because of an unexpected error.
    Clicking the report button brings up my profile dialog box, then I choose my profile and it just goes back to the error dialog. Try again does the same thing.
    sceloglaux - it sounds like you got it working. Care to enlighten us on what steps you took?
    Do I need to have an me.com e-mail account set up first? I don't want to sync e-mail, just calendar and contacts. I tried setting up e-mail in case that's the missing link, but I'm having trouble with that as well (separate thread, probably server issues).
    Thanks.

    You cannot see photos backed up in iCloud on your computer.
    Camera Roll photos backed up to iCloud are still in your Camera Roll on your iPhone.
    You need to regularly sync the photos to your computer. (then you can see them on your computer).
    -> http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1296
    then delete them from your Camera Roll.
    You can sync the photos you want on your iPhone back to your iPhone using iTunes.

  • My Photo Stream keeps turning off in my iCloud Control Panel on my Windows 7 PC.

    I have an HP Pavilion g6 and it runs on Windows 7. iCloud is already set up on it, as well as on my iPhone, but when I go to use the computer, I find the Photo Stream turned off (I am still logged into iCloud Control Panel.)

    No, I am not trying to use them both at the same time with Photo Stream.  I have not had iPhoto opened in long time and I'm not sure if I have ever opened iPhoto since iCloud went active.  I only use iPhoto when I want to make a greeting or post card.  I just opened iPhoto and clicked on Photo Stream (on the left) and it asks if I want to turn it on.  I just noticed that there is a option to click that says "No Thanks".  I never turned Photo Stream on in iPhoto, but never said no thanks either.  After clicking the "No Thanks" button, Photo Stream disappears from the left.  Maybe that will solve the problem.  I will need to give it some time to see, because it does not happen right away.
