Guys, I fixed it.
Click here (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1455)to download a clean / separate install of iCloud Control Panel 3.0 for Windows.
Go to Windows program manager or what ever its called & completely uninstall your current iCloud Control Panel 3.0 for Windows. This is most likely the one you got bundled with iTunes 11.1 (was in my case).
Restart PC as per the removal process. Upon restarting install the downloaded iCloud Control Panel 3.0 for Windows. Go through the setup & your off & running.
In my scenario I just ticked everything to ensure I didn't accidentally delete any contacts / tasks / calendar items etc that may have been in one place but not another. I ended up having to delete 300+ double / triple / quadruples of contacts in the iCloud contacts within Outlook but now I'm totally sweet.
Good luck all 🙂
Didn't work... did an uninstall, restart, downloaded and did a clean install and restart of the icloud app. The icloud add-in was in the Disabled Application Add-In location. I enabled it, which moved it to the Inactive Application Add-Ins location. Then, activated it... once you check the icloud add-in to make it active Outlook crashes.
Dont know then. I should say i ran a registry cleaner at each stage but there was no items so clearly the uninstall was very accurate.
I had some issue. It is an incompatibility between iCloud Outlook addin and the Outlook feature "DEP - Data Execution Prevention". Knowing that the feature exist in Office since 2009, it is disappointing that Apple has not been able to provide a solution.
At the moment, the only workaround is to disable DEP: File - OPtions - Trust Center - Trust Center Settings - DEP Settings.
Hope it solve also the issue for you.
Disabling the DEP did NOT resolve the issue :-(
guys I solved the issue.
- you need to open Outlook as an Administrator
- go to "File" then "Options"
- "Add-ins" and "Com Add-ins"
- Locate "iCloud Outlook Add-in"
- Highlight it and note the exact location of the .dll file which is shown in the bar below
- whilst the Add-in is still highlighted select "Remove".
- select "Add" and go the location of the .dll file, the location of which you have noted, left click the file and select "OK"
- then re-tick the "iCloud Outlook Add-in" and "OK"
- re-start Outlook and the Refresh button should reappear
enjoy it. :-)
What is going on with apple all of a sudden. did they take idots pills over there?😕😢
Thank you for your post. How do you "open Outlook as an Administrator"? I am the only user on my computer. In the users section of the Control Panel I am the Administrator. I noticed that when I try to turn the icloud add in on or off, I get an error saying that I must first sign on as an administrator. I would appreciate your suggestions.
To open Outlook as an Administrator go to: C:/Program Files/Microsoft Office/Office12, scroll down until you see Outlook (just Outlook, or Outlook.exe), right click it, and select Run as Administrator.
The location of the Outlook depends on the version of Office. Office12 is Office 2007, Office10 is Office 2003, and so on... Hope this information helps.
@kkn1006, this was very helpful. Thank you very much for posting.
Thanks for the tip! Steps were clear, to the point, and ultimately solved my problem!
BIG THANKS!
Thanks for posting - however unfortunately I followed it to a tee and it didn't work.. Do apple monitor solutions and then cause another bug because, as I understand it, they don't like us using outlook?
Charlie, it didn't work in my case as well untill I installed icloud in the original folder (don't change path when installing the program). It solved the problem in my case.
The steps provided by AlexDG83 worked for me in Outlook 2013 on Windows 8.1. I had also re-installed the iCloud plug in (as suggested by aeblong:download fresh, uninstall via programs and features, reboot, install downloaded version, sign in, set up). That alone didn't solve the problem, but I mention it here in case it was part of the solution.
In Windows 8.1, if you have outlook on your taskbar, you can run as administrator by:
If it's not on your task bar, simply right click the tile in your start menu or search for "outlook" and right click on the result. Both will bring up a menu with a "run as administrator" option.
It appears this issue has been around for quite a while. Really sad that Apple and Microsoft can't come up with a solution that doesn't involve extraordinary workaround steps to make this work.
