Outlook 2010 SP1 Sync with the iCloud

He's right,

All he is saying is that iTunes is able to synchronize with Outlook using the main calendar and the main contacts so why isn't iCloud able to do the same?

That means that through iTunes they know how to access the main calendar on the main contacts so it should be the same technology in iCloud...

I'm a developer and it makes no sense to me... If you know how to access some parts of Outlook in a specific way, why would'nt you be able to access them from iCloud?

Because iCloud is not a sync system, it is a Dav server and Outlook for Windows is the Dav client, MS elected to implement Dav functionality this way, complain to them (and remember that in Outlook for Mac MS elected not to implement Dav services at all, so no iCloud in Outlook for Mac).

MS have their own system, it is excellent, it is called Exchange, if you want Outlook to function the way you say you do use Exchange instead of iCloud.

Surprise Surprise: Outlook for Mac is working fine with iCloud. Although it has no Dav service.

You are mistaken.

HI. Not sure if anyone here can help. I'm running windows 7 and outlook 2010. Can't get them to sync with Icloud. Here's an image of what I see.

Any ideas what could cause this? I have Itunes installed if that matters.

I'm sorry but I can't see the attachment or picture. Can you repost?

TFR, thanks for the look-see. Here's a repost

Not sure I mentioned this, but I did check to see if the add-in for Icloud is in Outlook. I also uninstalled the syn software for my old blackberry and then rebooted the computer.

do you happen to know if you are running on a 32 bit or 64 bit version of outlook. I'm running on a 64 bit version of Windows 7 and 32 bit version of office (because of some compatability issues with Office Communicator add ins in the past I was choosing for 32 bit- happy microsofting ;-) ....

TFR...On one machine it's 32. I have another that's a 64 bit processor.....so I'm guessing that's a 64. Can't check till later. On the 32 machine I'm running 7 home on SP1. On the 64, it's SP1 7 Pro.

I have found my solution! I puchased a $10 outlook Addin called CodeTwo Sync for Icloud.

It took all of 5 minuteds to download and intiate.

I can now sync my PC w/ outlook, my Ipad, and my Blacknerry (now that is diversity) and all through Icloud and Calendar & Contacts works PERFECTLY! I canlt believe I struggled for so long anf teh answer was $10.

i don't know who they are but they made a software that fixed my problem with Icloud & outlook.

And it can sync mulitple calendars & contacts.

Yes, yes I know the standard whine about 'why can't Apple & Microsoft GIVE this to me" and 'why should I pay $10"....well, you can whine but I paid the ten bucks and my life just got a whole lot better 'cause all my different devices now sync perfectly.

If I can afford the Ipad, the Blackberry and Outlook 2010, then I can spare the $10 to make them all play nice together.

You waited so long because you didn't read.

I talked about that in this thread on Jul 5th

No mistake. I have tested it fully.

This is wrong. iTunes can do it. Third parties like codetwo can do it. Only the iCloud Developers had no idea.
