I activated iCloud. It made the mess many of us experienced: "local data" wiped out, doubling entries, etc.
But there is a specific issue I can't understand: I define a new appointment/activity and set its reminder; whern I save it, Outlook says something like "Unable to set reminder, because the folder doesn't support reminders" (ore something like. I've the italian release).
So... no more reminders?
iCloud-OTHER, Windows 7, Outlook-iCloud synergy
Me too reminder/alert issue! Plus getting an iCal for a random calendar entry (recurring but not the only one.
Any answers out there?
Thank you for the link.
But in the end I decided to keep iCloud. The only drawback that hurts me is the lack of reminder popups in Win7 (btw outlook allows setting reminders even if the message says the contrary...) but I have the iPhone and/or the iPad always with me so... tolerable problem.
check ou the last item on this link: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4861?viewlocale=en_US
In my oppinin apple made a mess with reminders/alerts names and behavior. Things could be easier.
Anyway, apple regards the outlook message as a falase positive and states that oulook will still give us the alerts. I just installed iClound on outlook, so I don't know if that is true. Anyway, even if alerts are kept, two things are very annoying: 1) alerts are set to none by default when creating a caledar event in the icloud calendar from outlook (I used to use the 15min default on other calendars). This means that everytime I want a reminder for a calendar event, I have to remember to go and set it. 2) Having this idiotic message pop up everytime I create an event with a reminder will be a pain.
I'm going to try to stick to iCloud for now, but if this things start to annoy me too much, I'll just go back to using google calendar sync on all my PC's with outlook and google ical dav on all my apple devices and macs.
Hope Apple fixes this and improves icloud soon.
Update: the alerts on Outlook still work, despite the annoying message. You just have to remember to set it.
Yes they work, but it is too early to give all this stuff the ultimate judgment. Btw, another difference between before and now is that a doubleclick on the alert in the alert window doesn't open the itcorresponding em. Before it happened.
Very annoying message, watch out for reoccurring reminders that are checked in the phone... I think there might be a bug where the reminder gets turned off, or is the wrong time.
check your Com addins in Outlook and make sure ICloud add in is on (check Marked)....
I have set the reminders in Outlook Cloud Calendar, but they do not pop up. Any other suggestions?
No more outlook reminders with iCloud?
