Um....I have a problem. I did the sign out, followed the prompts and told it to put everything back it seemed to do it, but now I have no contacts in Outlook!!! I somehow still have an iCloud calendar, but no iCloud option/choice for my contacts, and my normal Contacts folder is blank!!!
All my contacts are still on my iphone and ipad...how do I get them back to my computer?
I tried signing back into iCloud, then telling it to Refresh iCloud in OUtlook, but no contacts...
Help!!!

make a copy of the outlook.pst file just in case before you do above.
I have reverted back as well, worked great with mobileme but iCloud is terrible for contacts and calendar. I use google Calendar Sync for Calendars between Outlook, iPhone, iPad. Works great. Not sure how I'm going to tackle iCloud yet? I'm just using iTunes to sync outlook to my iPhone and iPad.

You can do what I suggested above but aparaently uninstalling iCloud Control Panel should put your contacts back to how they were? I can't be sure of that though. I've submitted to icloud now and sync my contacts through iCloud which I didn't want to do the way iCloud method, anyway this is all a massive can of worms lol. BTW if you want to sync your calendar items I have found the best way to do this accross platforms is to use Google Calendar Sync.
