Apple iCloud error #0x80004002 on Windows 10 1903 when syncing Calendar events

Hi Duke,

yes, I concur, it looks like the MAIL / CALENDER / TASKS Tickbox was coded inverted (at least for Setup) ...

It will be interesting to see what happens if they correct the coding and update iCloud …

I have the feeling that we will cross lines again here, since it might stop working again...

But happy to hear that it worked out for you too.

Cheers - Matto

Yes! Thank you for sharing! This worked for my calendar in outlook. Strange work around -but it worked!

I'm yet to get my contacts to sync in outlook though.

I can see the contacts in wondows people and if I use the windows mail although they aren't appearing on Outlook.

Ambi...Yay! Your suggestion worked for me! A few days ago my Outlook and iCloud Calendars weren't synching. I deleted my mail, contacts, and calendars from my computer and attempted to re-synch only to get an Outlook Setup Error that read: "Your setup couldn't be started because the iCloud server stopped responding." After much research online, uninstalling & reinstalling iCloud for Windows, I still was having the same problem. Spent 2 hours on the phone with Apple Support, they escalated to engineering, because they "weren't aware of this issue with Windows 10 1903 (Outlook 2013)...only Windows 7." Though support couldn't immediately solve my problem, they did suggest that I update my outdated (and never used) iTunes software. Not sure if that made the difference, but today when I tried the Outlook Setup for iCloud again (while waiting for Apple Engineering...they are supposed to try and resolve this issue over the next 5 days), the error message had changed to #0x80004002. Your suggestion was the key...worked like a charm. My contacts and calendars are back on my PC! I will pass your fix along to the Apple Support contact who is assigned to my case. Hopefully synching isn't an ongoing problem, but happy to have my stuff back!

Thank you, thank you. ~BWS

Hi Wndrwmn,

I am not sure what u mean, but if u refer to the three error messages mentionned by me and Duke,

then on below Outlook Setup Error report, you will find the "REPORT" button (bottom left).

By clicking on it, it will open a mail message (to noone) with the error report....

Am not sure if this is what you requested...

Cheers

Hi there,

interesting news,

I also have a Windows 7 PC - on which i have Outlook and three Profiles for which i am prompted at Startup to choose from.

And i have iCloud on this as well.

Works like a charm though - but yes, its Windows 7....

Seems they screwed up many things with Windows 10... lol

Matto, thank you for posting this response! I'd spent several hours last night and almost the whole day today trying to resolve this problem when I finally found your suggestion. I had uninstalled and reinstalled both Icloud and Outlook about 5 times each and kept getting this error message. I unchecked all 3 boxes, Icloud finished the installation process, reselected to connect to Outlook mail and calendars, and now Icloud and Outlook are playing nice together again. It also seems to have resolved a problem I was having when trying to enter start and end times (which was causing a lot of freezing, although I'd found a cumbersome work around). I was not looking forward to having to reenter all of my calendar data and now I don't have to, thanks to you. Thanks again.

Hi Marlene,

Great to hear that it still works - and am worried since MS or Apple still have not solved this issue...

and in all fairness, the KUDO's need to go to AMBIDEXTER - who initially found the workaround...

Have fun.

Hi,

I have exactly the same issue wiht 0x80004002 and the three errors on the Report. Does anyone have an update on this issue or a workaround?

And what is the MS or Apple bug report so we can hammer them!!

Nope.

Yup:

Yes, me too, w10 1903 with the latest update on a HP notebook...
