Why doesn't icloud for Windows sync with Outlook 2016?

I have the exact same issue. I have a windows 7 machine running office 365 with outlook 2016. I cannot get my icloud calendar to work with outlook 2016. It tells me the icloud file needs to be repaired. I have tried to repair it and have also uninstalled it and reinstalled it with the same results. Is there a compatibility issue with outlook 2016 and icloud? Is it because I am using windows 7? Any advise on how to fix this?

Hi

Same for me. I am on Windows 8.1.

Upgraded to Office 2016/Outlook 2016 with some difficulty a few days ago. I have not been able to sync calendar or contacts with iPhone 5s since. (Not using iCloud although I noticed that the option in Outlook has gone and it is not in the add ins). I have also read that Notes and the sync has gone.

iTunes doesn't come up automatically when I plug the iPhone in either (I have got the command checked).

When I have the phone plugged in and it runs through the back up and sync sequence I see some Windows Installer messages flash up briefly.

Need some help please.

Does anyone have a way to sync iCloud with Outlook 2016?

I am running Windows 8.1 and upgraded to Office Premium, as a result I do not have access to my calendar or contacts in Outlook and I cannot reinstall Icloud for windows itself. I believe this is a known problem (a serious one) as contacting either Apple or Microsoft has them shifting the onus on each other. However, reading between the lines Apple simply has to create an update to Icloud for Windows which deals with both Windows 10 and the Office 2016 programs.

Same problem.

I just spent an hour with both Microsoft and Apple help and ... it's not yet supported. So, while my email syncs with Outlook via iCloud, the calendar function is not there yet, it seems.

Keep an eye on support.office.com to see when they fix the error/add the functionality.

We recently purchased a Windows 7 Professional device and Office 2016 and installed Outlook. We then installed the latest version of iCloud for windows and get the same "repair" message, which has not worked. After spending some time with Apple, a supervisor told me that they are working on an update for synchronicity with Outlook 2016, and that it should be ready late this week (around Oct 16-19). Hope it works for all of us!

I am seriously considering just abandoning crapple all together. There IOS 9 has caused havoc in my iPad. I can still sync with my iPhone and iPad but I use my pc more when it comes to scheduling and contacts. My loyalty is being challenge due their ignorance.

Here it is 10 days past what Apple told you and there is still no answer anywhere to be found! Apple is as bad a MS at solving issues and following their user forums. They say the squeaky wheel gets the grease but they must have one strong set of ear plugs not to hear all the cries from the wilderness!

I am having just the opposite..... Cal is fine no mail !

I have the same problem. I'm running Windows 10 and have just installed the new Office 2016. I can see emails, but the calendar and contacts are nowhere to be seen. I've tried everything so far but to no avail. Any suggestions.
