This i so silly. It is an Apple application and should be fixed by Apple. How hard can it be?

Send feedback to Apple

Already done of course.

Then you have done all you can.

I know I have and that is not the problem. The problem is the lack of feedback from Apple and I expected a more professional behavior. We are not discussing a trip to March, only for them to fix a small glitch in their app.

But we are not Apple, we are Apple users, as are you. What can we do that you can't?

There is another thing you can do.  If this is not fixed by Nov. 11th, don't buy the iPad pro, buy the Surrface Pro instead and start informing Apple of your displeasure of them not continuing to support products you use.

Something I am doing as of that date.  My phone is up for replacement next year, and that will be a non iPhone also, and when that purchase is done, and if done by enough users, will send a money loss to Apple in response to their lack of customer support.

Apple can stop this by fixing their software.

Nobody here cares what phone or tablet you buy, good luck.

I have a desktop and two laptops all running WIN 10 with Outlook 2016 and ICLOUD. What I have discovered is that ICLOUD must be installed on OUTLOOK 2013 and must be Revision 4.1. Once installed Outlook 2013 can be removed and 2016 installed. Outlook 2016 will get the profile created in Outlook 2013 and enable ICLOUD. Do not allow ICLOUD version 5 to install as it will kill the operations in 2016. ICLOUD version 4.1 is available on a couple of download sites, but be cautious of extra programs being installed. Apple does not seem to make version 4.1 available anywhere that I can find. I subscribe to Office 365 and therefore have the ability to install either 2013 or 2016 versions or both under my contract.

In the case of my desktop it was not a major problem since I had ICLOUD 4.1 on Outlook 2013 which was later updated to 2016. I did not allow ICLOUD 5 to install as I heard about all the problems with 2016 & Ver. 5. This brought me to the conclusion that ICLOUD and Outlook could communicate properly.

I recently setup a new laptop and installed Outlook 2013 with ICLOUD 4.1. I uninstalled Outlook 2013 and installed Outlook 2016. All is well with the system.

Through trial and error I have found that if you have Outlook 2016 and/or ICLOUD 5 installed, you must remove completely with a cleaner program as both leave residual files and register entries which will prevent any clean installs of subsequent Outlook or ICLOUD.

I'm not sure if Apple monitor these forums.  Doesn't seem to be the case! I have 9 Apple devices at home, but I am FORCED to use Outlook 2016 at work. I need  a common Calendar and checking icloud.com doesn't work for me and is cumbersome and a very unelegant solution.

Come on Apple.  This is a problem that must be addressed. There must be millions of people worldwide like me who are avid Apple users but need to use both Mail & Outlook

prior to installing latest windows 10 update my icloud settings were working ok other than wouldn't let me install apple update v 5.0. having installed W10 update an hour ago my email accounts still work via imap but icloud calendar and contacts do not saying the information store can not be opened.why is this a problem? c'mon Apple and Microsoft. stop blaming each other and fix it please.

"iCloud install/upgrade error 2343

Every time I want to upgrade I receive this message.

I don't want to go back to Office 2010 and neither to Windows 7.

I also hope Apple will fix this bug.

They do not, there is a separate Feedback line available for that purpose.

Actually they do monitor them, they just don't post in them.  Join developer beta and accidently post something beta in the wrong forum and you can see how fast they respond, in seconds by deleting it and emailing you.

This not a developer forum.

And I never said it was.  I only said if you post something IN HERE THAT IS FROM BETA, they will delete it FROM HERE.  If they were not monitoring this forum, they wouldn't see it to delete it.
