"Add an email account to Outlook Before setting up ICloud"

When I click the boxes in Icloud to sync the Outlook calander and Contacts I get the message "Add an email account to Outlook Before setting up Icloud" I have an hotmail account synced up into my outlook. Am i doing something wrong or is this an issue apple needs to fix.
I am running Windows 7 pro with 64bit and outlook 2010

johnfromfort dodge: I can't access your latest reply for some reason, but I'll respond anyway.
I'm using both the calendar and contacts with Outlook 2010 on two PCs & iPhone 3GS and it works fine. I had trouble at first getting it to recognize Outlook on my main PC, but when I installed it on my husband's, it worked the first time.
When I finally got it working on mine, I did get a mess of a calendar, but I just deleted what it imported, then replaced it with my backup. I was a bit worried what would happen when my husband's came back online, but it seems to be working great.
Sure, it took some time and frustration, but it's worth it. I've been waiting for a solution like this for a long time. Plugging my phone into iTunes on 2 PCs to keep everything in sync was a drag and that didn't always work seamlessly either.

I am getting account not verified when setting up icloud. I check my email and nothing shows up in inbox or junk. What am I doing wrong?

I am getting account not verified when trying to set up icloud on my iphone. I check my email and there is nothing in my inbox or junk. What am I doing wrong?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Put in a request for another verification e-mail to be sent to you.
Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
Also check your Mail rules and filtering, the verification mail may be going to a junk folder or even being deleted altogether. You may also wish to contact your mail provider to see if their spam filters are removing the email before it gets to you.

On trying to set up iCloud to sync with my outlook calendar I got this error msg 'No Outlook Email-Add an email account to Outlook before setting up iCloud'.

My hotmail email is the only email set up (via the connector) in Outlook. Can iCloud work with a hotmail address or do I need another one and if so do I just add another account/email the normal easy way and it will all work or is there something else I have to do?????

Make sure you are checking the email address you used to set up your iCloud account. Check the spam/junk folder as well as the inbox. If it isn't there, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage your Apple ID, sign in, click on Name, ID and Email addresses on the left, then to the right click Resend under your Primary Email Address to resend the verification email.

Why can't I email photos from my iphone5?

Why can't I email a photo ? It doesn't go through.

Are you sending an email using a return address of, say @xxx.com" but using an outgoing server from a @yyy.com service? If so, this is known as relaying. Many servers now reject such emails, as this method is often used by spammers. Depending on your email provider, you may be able to get around that by going into the settings for that email account and finding a place where you can enter a valid @yyy.com address along with a password. (You'll have to hunt around the settings to find this, IF the account allows for that.)
Example: A non-icloud exchange account: Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars - In the Accounts section, tap the account in question (e.x. yyy.com), tap the Account name, fill in the Username and password in the section that also includes "Domain Optional" where optional is in gray.
Example: For icloud, Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars - In the Accounts section, tap the icloud account, Tap (in Advanced), "Mail" then indicate emails you want to use in "Allow Sending From".
Doing so lets you continue using a return address of @xxx.com, but the server also gets the valid address and password for its service and forwards the email as it should.

Why can't I email photos direct from iPhoto?

Why can't I email photos directly from iPhoto, or even attach them to email?

I get a dotted frame outline with an exclamation
This is the source of all the problems. iPhoto can't mail the files because it cannot find them.
The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
What version of iPhoto? Assuming it's 09 or later:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

Why am I getting emails saying I need to renew my iCloud account?

Why am I getting emails saying I need to renew my iCloud account?
Is this legit?

Unless you signed up for iTunes Match or additional iCloud storage, there's nothing to renew; the basic iCloud account never expires. Forward any such emails to [email protected] and then delete them.

Why can't I email videos taken with iphone 4 from my mac

Why can't I email videos taken with my iphone 4 from my Mac? It says the video is to big or long but the particular one I am trying to send is only 1 min 16 sec long. I don't remember having this problem with my 3gs. I am trying to email them with my yahoo act, and I see this very same question was asked July of 2010, but their are no replies. It may be a very simple fix, but I can't seem to figure it out. Surly, I don't have to reduce my videos to 30 sec or less to get them to send. Can anyone please help a gal out?

Go into the Activity Monitor and Quit or Force Quit the Acrobat process.
