Done!

follow this link to get your calendar into Outlook.. I just did it. It took all of two minutes and my calendar was in Outlook. It's a temporary fix but it works.

iCloud: Share a calendar with others

I've called Apple and screamed at several people (literally) to get to someone who knew how to work around the issue. He also assured me that he's received several of these calls and Apple is working on the issue. I told him that Apple needs to start reading these posts because of the thousands of people who are affected and that we all feel that Apple is ignoring us. I'm hoping they come up with a fix soon, but in the meantime this workaround saves us all from the rollback/update/restore headaches we've all been experiencing.

Done this morning - for ref - here is my edited version of the post - lets hope these message illicit some response!

"When will iCloud for Windows support Outlook 2016?

The number of affected users appears considerable from the volume of posts on your own forums - let alone those independent of apple – and that number looks to be growing daily.

All are reporting identical issues and frustrations in syncing iCloud and Outlook (Calendar, Contacts…), and some threads have been running now since as early as August 2015. Nowhere in any of those threads – or in any other forum as far as I have been able to find – is there a response from yourselves (Apple). Indeed – the only indication that you are aware is in your documentation supporting the v5.0 release of iCloud for Windows where it simply states it’s not compatible with Outlook 2016!

As an industrial user of both the Apple and Microsoft platforms – and one who is part of a larger organisation where significant numbers of colleagues also rely on the interoperability of these two product sets, this issue is now having a material negative impact on our efficiency and productivity.

Before we are forced to look at alternatives, which in itself will cost significant amounts in time, effort and change if undertaken and executed, can you please at least indicate that you are aware, recognise and are working to address this issue. It would also really help if you could provide an expected timeline for a fix.

What I, and I believe most of those I see posting on the numerous threads on this subject, am most disappointed about, is the lack of communication from yourselves on this issue. Simply put – you need to communicate with your customers who just want to know you actually care about us!"

Just done, a second submission to the iCloud team feedback messages today. Does anyone read what we submit?

Howdy Besomdave,

Thank you for your feedback, and for encouraging others to leave feedback with iCloud for Windows and Outlook 2016 compatibility, we always appreciate it. Be on the lookout for an updated version of iCloud for Windows soon which will add support for Outlook 2016.

iCloud for Windows currently supports Outlook 2007 through Outlook 2013. Support for Outlook 2016 will be available in an updated release soon. If you use Outlook 2016, you can access iCloud Mail, Contacts, and Calendars on iCloud.com.

Have a good one.

The update hasn't worked for me...

Running Windows 7 and Office 365 so Outlook 2016 and the new update hasn't fixed anything. I still get the following error message every time i try to sync:

Any thoughts?

I've tried pretty much everything I can think of short of a complete operating system re-install.

Thanks in advance,

James
