I have iCloud setup within outlook. If I change a calendar event in oulook it is sending updates to invitees using my iCloud email address rather than my outlook work email address.

I just had the same thing happen! We have a strict "no personal email addresses" policy at my work, and this was pretty embarrassing. Any word from Apple??

Same here.. My girlfriend imported her calendar in iCloud from work and iCloud has send everyone in her appointments an email. Not funny....

I'm afraid that if she is deleting her iCloud calendar everyone will get a mail that the meeting is canceled. By the way she exported her work calendar to an .ICS file which she imported in Outlook at home. Then she copied the calender (no other way) to iCloud.

Apple I love your stuff but please do not mess around with this stuff or warn people better.. You can not send everyone in someone's calendar an email without let the user decide wether she wants that or not....

Will Google further for solutions...

Outlook will send invitations from your 'default' address, you can change the default to your work email but I am not sure how that will affect iCloud, do you know how to change the default?

We don't have iCloud email setup through Outlook, only calendars & contacts. Yet, somehow iCloud is taking the changes we make in Outlook and sending updates through @me.com.

Did you check what is set as your default mail address?

Again, we only have our work email set up on Outlook. The only email address Outlook COULD use is the work email, not icloud/.me.

You have iCloud setup in Outlook, iCloud has a .me address associated with it.

Last time

Did you check your default send account in Outlook or simply assume that it is not possible for it not to be your work address?

Of course I checked, like a said, there is only one account set up; my work email - which is of course set up as the default account.

Then I have no idea what is happening, sorry.

DO NOT sync iCloud with Outlook until this all gets sorted out. I have lost all my appointments and contacts on Outlook. The only way to get them back is to move them one at a time from icloud back to outlook. Then I will have to disconnect icloud some way to keep it from happening again.

If I am remembering correctly, this was normal for it to send with iCloud, since it is going through the iCloud calendar. Please feedback this and hopefully this is something that can get changed or adjusted.

Patrick,

If you mean it moves your events to an "iCloud section" from your default calendars, then that is the intended function. If they didn't delete the others, then you would have duplicate calendars and only the iCloud section will sync to iCloud.

Man I hope you are wrong. If they really designed it this way they have a serious misunderstanding about what is needed. Google sync solved this issue two years ago. I have been using it to seamlessly sync between windows, mac, and mobile devices with no problems and no duplications for 2 years. All my contacts and appointments are in the Google cloud as well as on all my devices. It even works great with iCal. If this is designed this way on purpose it is a poor design. It was even poorly communicated how it would work and impact your devices for offline work. I just tried iCloud to see how it worked. It has crippled all my devices for working offline. I am going to stay with Google Sync as soon as I can figure a way out of this mess.

You have 2 calendars in Outlook now (at least). one is Outlooks local calendar, the other is iClouds calendar, the local calendar does not sync to iCloud, only MS Exchange.
