cannot add icloud public calendar to outlook

I work and live in a mixed Mac/PC environment. The PCs are Windows 7 professional with Outlook 2010. The Macs are Yosemite. I would like to be able to subscribe to a public icloud calendar on one of the PCs. We could do this a week ago.


Now when we add the calendar it crashes Outlook. Furthermore, I noticed that the calendar address no longer ends in .ics which Outlook requires.


The new icloud control panel crashed Outlook as well.


I tried joining the private calendar and it does not show up in Outlook either.


Is the new icloud interface not ready for prime time?

Any solutions or work arounds?


Thank you in advance for any help,


Debbie

My Mac's not yet on Yosemite, so Yosemite's not the culprit.

An iCloud calendar populated from an iPad that I previously shared with my Outlook 2010 client on Windows 7 without error caused Outlook to crash, when Outlook initiated a sync attempt with my subscribed calendars, today (13th November 2014). Removing the calendar subscription allowed Outlook to run without crashing. Re-subscribing using the iCloud-provided public calendar URL once again cause Outlook 2010 to crash.

My Windows 7 PC and Office 2010 are current with all updates as of 13th November 2014.

I have noticed that the URL for my public calendar does not end in .ics. Outlook needs this to add the calendar. I am going to try and add it manually and see what trouble it causes or if it fixes the issue for me.


Keep you posted.


Another thought is that 2010 is old at this point and I wonder if Apple no longer cares about this product.
