When I select Contacts, I have two options. When I open Outlook, on the left of that window are the various selectable views.i.e. They simply aren't there any longer since whatever happened when I put iCloud on my Windows 7 system. Honest to gosh.I swear iCloud is a code name for a virus Apple has unleashed on Outlook.Īll of my contacts in Outlook 2010 are gone. I think I'm just going to add the Outlook Exchange account to iCal on all your devices and forget about iCloud's calendar's function for now. My Outlook account is on a virtual Exchange server that is maintained by my employer and that others in my organization must have access to. This makes sense if you're just moving from MobileMe's iCal to iCloud's iCal, but if you have another calendar account in another location that you need to synchronize but maintain, you're in trouble because those appointments get absorbed then deleted, too. It transfers all your appointments to iCloud and then wipes the other calendars clean. I am not a techie by any means, but it appears to me that it is Apple's intent to have your iCal account on iCloud take the place of any other calenrdar accounts you may have. ics files to capture all the appointments. When I migrated to iCloud, iCal set up separate calendars for each Outlook category, so I had to export about a dozen.

You can just drag the file icon into the actual calendar grid on the Outlook window. ics file and then dragging the file into Outlook. The same thing happened to me and I was able to fix it by exporting the iCal calender to an. **second Apple ID was created with MobileMe so was prompted to and use it for iCloud. **main Apple ID, dukeweb) is my personal email addr, use for iTunes/store and

I fixed it by opening the iCloud applet, unchecking them and hitting apply (closed outlook before hand). But I also saw a new acct created ( iCloud) and upon opening it's tree, I found them there and in tact. I went to the "folders" view in my main outlook account and sure enough, the Calendar, Task, and Contacts were empty. Went to Tasks, they were gone, went to contacts, they were gone. I re-opened Outlook and ALL my appointments were GONE. iCloud showed finished integrating with Outlook. I logged in iCloud control panel applet with my Apple ID, checked the boxes for Calendar, Task, and Contacts. Q2 - I have two Apple IDs, is that the issue? I need to know how to sync using iCloud so that I don't lose my outlook appointments and my contacts and tasks don't get transferred to iCloud while being deleted in the main account's folders. I thought iCloud would "SIMPLY WORK" and it does not. Q1 - How and why this happens is very upsetting.
