Well. Christopher, I have been as sceptical as everyone about MS software, but facts are facts.
I was reduced to using only the iphone as Calendar with no backup anywhere for a couple of days, and with icloud showing only corrupt forms of the Calendar. So icloud was switched off in the iphone and working in isolation. Suddenly a major iOS upgrade appears.
Now the first symptom of all the issues I have been fighting with was the icloud/iphone display fault, first noticed last Friday, and it seemed to be my attempts to reconfigure icloud, itunes, Outlook and goodness knows what else that worsened things.
So when a major upgrade (a few days old?) was offered, I installed it. No problem there, but it raised the thought, what else has changed. Lo and Behold - icloud and the iphone were suddenly talking to each other!!
Now I do not deny that it is remotely possible nevertheless that MS software had done something (corrupt a file that Apple software is using in the Calendar or Contacts perhaps), but the logicians refer to "Occam's Razor" or as the modern pithier age puts it - K.I.S.S. Failed communication between two Apple systems suddenly corrects with a major upgrade of the software of one of them. Not a complex problem in logistics.
The one hole in the argument is that iCloud for Windows now won't install properly, but I have not yet got round to setting it up with reboots at each step (a patience-sapping exercise). And I have a backup for the phone calendar

Your problem isn't iOS, your problem is Outlook.
Outlook only abides by Microsoft's rules, especially if you are using an Exchange mail account.
Outlook can't even work properly with a standard IMAP account, without jumping through hoops.
The same problems occur with Windows.
One of the great things about macOS, iOS & Linux is that they all abide by the "open standards" that everyone agrees should be in place. Thats what makes interoperability so good. These providers all work with open standards and yet manage to support Microsoft's "standards.
Microsoft is not in that list. They still believe that they have a monopoly and can dictate things to the computing world.
That's not so any more.

My issues with transfer between iphone, iCloud and Outlook seem to have improved with installation of iOS 12 today, giving much food for thought!!I am not yet sure that all is well, but certainly icloud is now displaying what is on the iphone. If this stays stable I will reinstall icloud for Windows and hope to reconnect to Outlook properlyNick

The company is BYOD optional. My choice is between carrying a personal phone and a company phone or one for both purposes.My issue is calendars. I've been through this rodeo before and there is only one correct answer: your secretary owns your calendar and you show up when and where she tells you. If you don't get that you haven't had a good secretary.
Here is my issue. I have a lot of music and videos and podcasts on my computer at home. I have a lot of personal commitments on my calendar. My secretary will "own" my time during the day and realistically beyond that (travel for example). I don't have a problem commingling entries - if I don't trust a secretary s/he won't be my secretary.
Ideally I would plug my phone into my computer at home and sync calendar, music, videos, podcasts, ebooks, etc. Plug into my computer at work (remember that Outlook allows access delegations through Exchange so my secretary can schedule on my office calendar from her desktop) and sync there to move all my home calendar items to the office and office items to the phone.Constraints: no cloud. No iCloud, no Google Drive, no Google Calendar, no OneDrive. No cloud. There are too many security sensitivities to let data outside positive physical control. I greatly prefer using the Apple calendar app but I'll shift as long as it can be the default and launch things like Google Maps/Waze without too much trouble from addresses, and phone calls at least native and hopefully Google Voice.Has anyone gotten this to work? Ideas? If I can't do it my options are two phones or a 3x5 index card with my schedule on it.daveAnnapolis MD
