I use Outlook 2010 on a PC and synch to my iPhone and iPad through iCloud. If I make changes to contacts, reminders, etc in Outlook nothing changes on my IOS devices until I close Outlook, switch off iCloud, then switch iCloud on again and restart Outlook. If I make a change on one of my IOS devices it won't synch to Outlook at all, no matter what I do. What do I need to change to make this work?
Thanks
Joanne
iPhone 4, iOS 6
Hi Joanne,
If your devices are not updating after you make a change in Outlook, this article may help:
iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Contacts

Specifically, check out the section "Troubleshooting iCloud Contacts update or setup issues with Microsoft Windows (Microsoft Outlook)" for troubleshooting. You mentioned issues with Reminders and possibly other data types, but the troubleshooting in this article may help with all data types so I would start there.
Cheers!

Hi Ari
Thank you for your help. I followed your advice and got the whole way down the trouble-shooting ideas until I came to the very last item regarding the iCloud add-in and discovered that it was disabled. I corrected this and now my syncing works!
Thanks so much
Joanne
Hi Joanne,
Great! I am glad to hear it's all working now. Thanks for the update, and have a great weekend!

I have to restart iCloud control panel every time I want to synch
