How to remove a folder, option grayed out Remove GMAIL IMAP account from Outlook 2016 Remove just one attachment before AutoForward I would appreciate it.Ĭan't create NEW GROUP and add/remove a member from existing Group in Outlook You tried to help me once before on another problem.
I find talking to Apple is humiliating they deny any responsibility, blaming it on Microsoft software people. I am literally terrified it will once again erase all my contacts.
SO I would like to remove iCloud from my Windows 10 PC. I have no use for iCloud except for contacts. I am very, very frustrated with iCloud and Outlook contacts.
I decided to give iCloud another chance after hearing from others it worked just fine. A very long and very frustrating call to Apple got them back. When I deleted icloud the last time, it deleted all of my contacts. I really don't need the connection to my iPhone, either with contacts or calendar, but if the contacts worked properly it would be helpful. I made a new group email distribution and it put it in the wrong address book. It deleted two entire sets of contacts in separate contact folders. There is an entire set of duplicate contacts which appears and disappears. ex: I deleted a duplicate contact and iCloud deleted both of them. Outlook 2016 in Office 365 does not work well with iCloud. Thanks again for all the help!!!! You're terrific! I've attached a screenshot of my iTunes options when I plug in my iPhone & turn of iCloud Calendars. I hope this doesn't create duplicates, but I'll find out. The only disadvantages are 1) that I must do it manually, (but doing it once a day shouldn't be too difficult), & 2) I have to keep turning off & on the iCloud syncing with my iPhone calendars. In the meantime, I'll let you know if this works. I think I need to contact Apple to find out what that means. When I tried it, it said my phone had been sync'd with an old account & asked me if I wanted to use that one or my current one. This way, I think I can accomplish my purpose. So if I just sync Outlook calendar using iTunes, I can still sync my iPhone's reminders & contacts with iCloud. The only catch is that you must turn off iCloud Calendars sync on the iPhone for the option to appear in iTunes. If I go into iTunes, plug in my iPhone, & click "Info", there are separate options to sync Outlook Calendar & Contacts. I don't have to sync Outlook with iCloud at all. Right now, I can't find any options in iTunes, iCloud, or Outlook as far as syncing between iCloud & Outlook. Could you explain in simple steps where I go to get an iCloud backup & where I can get options to sync only calendar. I had no problem with using Outlook or Windows XP, but everything in Windows 10 seems to be difficult for me. I just signed in again using Google Chrome. However, it did not ask me if I wanted a backup copy. I was able to delete the tasks in iCloud. I don't know how to turn off sync in iTunes for Outlook (I do want to sync with the iPhone in iTunes, once I get rid of the excess contacts). When I connect my iPhone to iTunes, I don't have an automatic sync set up. Next thing I know is everything in Outlook copied to iCloud & to my iPhone. Something downloaded called iCloudSetup.exe. I'm not sure whether iTunes or iCloud was used. I've had so much trouble with Windows 10 & am thoroughly confused. It also duplicated certain recurring events, like birthdays & anniversaries.) (It seems that when I deleted or revised certain appointments in Outlook & then sync'd with iCloud, it picked up both the old deleted ones & the new ones. I can just copy Outlook.pst back to Outlook 2016 & get back everything in Outlook 2016.)Ģ) How can I then set up iCloud/Outlook, so only the calendar will sync?ģ) And how can I avoid duplicate caldenar entries in the future? My calendar has several duplicates, but only on past events.ġ) If I delete all the tasks & most of the contacts in iCloud, so that it's deleted from iPhone, will this also delete it from Outlook? (I have a backup because fortunately, I also have Outlook 2003 on a WinXP machine. I ended up with all my Outlook Contacts, Tasks, & Calendars in both iCloud & on my iPhone. The trouble is that I opened iTunes, connected my iPhone, & then probably clicked "Yes" on syncing everything. I don't want it to sync contacts, tasks, or anything else that's in Outlook. I need to set iCloud so that it only syncs with the Outlook 2016 calendar. I have a Windows 10 machine with Outlook 2016.
