Q: Outlook 2013 iCloud 4.0.2 Calendar Sync Issue

I am attempting to share several of my shared iCloud calendars to Outlook 2013.  Before the latest updates to iCloud for Windows and Office 2013 I was able to do this but now it doesn't work.  Outlook can still see the Calendars but new events created on either icloud or outlook aren't shared between the platforms.

 

I uninstalled iCloud for Windows from my computer and then checked to make sure the calendars had been removed from Outlook - which they had.  I then rebooted and resintalled iCloud.  After logging in with my AppleID I received a message confirming that I wanted my calendar and contacts put into Outlook.  It went through the process of copying everything across but when I went back into Outlook, instead of my iCloud calendars being listed under 'Shared Calendars' they were listed under personal calendars.  All the events were in there but it was not shared.  This means that once again my calendar events aren't being shared between iCloud and Outlook.

 

Can anyone explain how to resolve this?

 

Thanks

    I had a similar problem to @steve_proto's. After an update to iCloud for Windows, my iCloud calendars no longer appeared in Outlook 2013.

    I tried following the iCloud troubleshooting instructions on Apple's support page https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203521 but when I installed the latest iCloud for Windows, the check box for Mail/Contact/Calendar sync was missing, replaced by instructions that I should access mail and calendars via icloud.com. Outlook 2013 calendar sync with iCloud had worked before, but now my iCloud calendars were completely missing from Outlook 2013.

    My setup: PC running Windows 7, iCloud for Windows 4.0.2, Office 2013 installed over Office 2010.

    I think that the fact that I had installed Office 2013 on top of Office 2010 contributed to the problem. When I installed Office 2013, Office 2010 was not automatically uninstalled. Another issue was that Apple has apparently renamed "iCloud Control Panel for Windows" to be simply "iCloud for Windows." Most of the posts I found referenced the "Control Panel" app but all of the links sent you to an "iCloud for Windows" download page.

    Here's what ultimately fixed the problem for me.

    1. Sign out of iCloud for Windows
    2. Uninstall iCloud for Windows
    3. Uninstall Office 2010
    4. Control Panel->Programs and Features->Microsoft Office Standard 2013->Change->Repair
    5. Reboot Windows
    6. Install latest iCloud for Windows
    7. Sign in to iCloud for Windows

    => Now the check box is back, and iCloud for Windows prompts you for which calendars to sync with Outlook.
