Re: [apple-iphone] iCloud seems to have died

 

Yes, I rather thought that must be so, Christopher, though why would it transfer the same calendar twice, to different places?

More seriously (see other message in this thread) although it created those Calendars, it is not actually syncing information in them. No calendar or Contacts data is actually transferring either way between Outlook and the iphone, which is bizarre. As I say, it created them by sending data, but is not syncing them. A more clear demonstration of the incompatibility of Apple and MS software there could not be

Thanks for your reply

Thanks Dave

I have had thoughts of switching back to a simple itunes backup, syncing with Outlook, for a while. Today i have done it. I had two calendars on the iphone and both synced to Outlook via icloud. Today I saved both and imported them into Outlook then synced via itunes (Obviously I switched icloud off first).

Now, However, I have three Calendars in Outlook, not two, and I took good care to get rid of any redundant calendars during the procedure.

In Outlook, under "My calendars" I have a calendar which appears to be the one from the iphone. But also, under "Other Calendars" I have two calendars which appear to be the two from the iphone (i.e. one of them appears twice and can be displayed as two separate calendars). So far, sending test messages etc between them seems to confirm that I am not mistaken. Is this what I should expect? Any advice anyone?

I am NOT a fan of the cloud in general or of iCloud in particular. 

I sync the calendar on my phone with calendar in Outlook through iTunes. Although Apple has dropped support for other syncing they have not yet broken calendars. 

As a backup Google Calendar works across platforms as well.

good luck, dave

Have you tried the highest rated email app?

With 4.5 stars in iTunes, the Yahoo Mail app is the highest rated email app on the market. What are you waiting for? Now you can access all your inboxes (Gmail, Outlook, AOL and more) in one place. Never delete an email again with 1000GB of free cloud storage.
