For everyone suffering by this incompatibility issue between Apple and Microsoft……………………..
I was reading up on the Microsoft support sites as well as corresponding ones on the Apple sites, but “Add-Ins” caught my eye.
On Outlook
- Go to File à Options and select Add-Ins
- Look for “iCloud Outlook Add-in”
o If this is under the “Active Application Add-ins” section, then I am sorry you are screwed. (pardon)
o I found it under the “Disabled Application Add-ins” section. (user the scroll bar on the right to go down the list).
o Use the Manage button at the bottom to move the `iCloud’ Add-in to the `Inactive’ section and then to the `Active’ section.
- Restart Outlook.
- It syncs up faster than before.
My environment:
- Windows 7 64-bit
- Outlook 2013
- iTunes 12.0.1.26
- iCloud window shows a (tiny) 4.0 on the top right of the window.
PS: There may be short-cuts to do the same activities listed above that some experts may know.
Hope this benefits some people out there. I’ll be back in this forum if this stops working for any reason.
Pradeep.
