I am trying to link my MS Outlook with iCloud, but since installing Office 365, I get the message "Your setup could not be started because the iCloud server stopped responding"
No problems connecting with anything other that Outlook.
Appreciate any ideas.
I had the same problem with iCloud and Outlook 2010. Try downloading and installing Microsoft Easy Fix 51044. That solved the problem for me.
MAPI error fixed. Simply delete all items for downloading and let it run.
Once again, thanks for the answer.
The 51044 Easy Fix did the trick. Make sure to scroll to the bottom of the page where the fix is posted and click “download” in initially didn’t get it to work because the first file listed isn’t the “Easy Fix” doh.
I started from this posting: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/250532269
and followed it through MS technet.
Sorry - Windows 7 SP1
I have the same issue with the same Windows Version.
I should have asked here earlier - it would have saved me a lot of time and hair tearing.
Thanks - that worked.
Oops. Spoke too early. Now getting error MAPI 0X80040604
You star - I spent hours trying to sort this out yesterday.
One question - how did you find that solution, particularly since Microsoft aren't supporting quick fixes any more
Microsoft Easy Fix 51044
It worked for me too.
MS Easy Fix 51044 - Windows 7 (64-bit) with Outlook 2010 (64-bit)
Thanks for the tip!
Icloud setup could not be started
