I rely on my outlook!! Since the install, I went to the Apple store 3 times and have spent hours and hours trying to get it to work right. I upgraded to the IOS5 and the iCoud in October (I think it was) 2011. Of course, with the release of Windows 10, you might be more inclined to use OneDrive since it can sync data across virtually all mobile devices, including iOS and OS X. Now you’ll be able to sync data across your PC, Mac, iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch. If you have a Mac, make sure to update to OS X Lion 10.7.2. Install the iCloud Control Panel for Windows. Update Safari for Windows and Mac to version 5.1.1. Install iOS 5 on your Apple mobile devices. There’s some work involved in setting it up to work seamlessly between your Apple devices and Windows. To sync Safari Bookmarks and Reader Lists, you’ll need Safari 5.1.1 and above. To enable automatic downloads between devices and iTunes for Windows, you’ll need version 10.5. To sync your contacts and mail from Outlook, you’ll need 2007 or above. To sync IE bookmarks, you’ll need Internet Explorer 8 or higher. Launch it from there if you want to go in and select different syncing options.Īlternately, you can go to Start > Control Panel > iCloud. The iCloud Control Panel for Windows icon lives in your system tray. Click Merge.Īfter making your selections, click Apply. Here I chose Safari since I rarely use IE.Ī screen will come up asking if you’re sure you want to merge bookmarks with iCloud. There isn’t an option for Google Chrome or Firefox yet. In Bookmark Options, select either Internet Explorer or Safari. If you want to sync your bookmarks, click Options. Now select what you want to sync to iCloud and across your iOS devices. Follow the install wizard and when it’s done, make sure Open the iCloud Control Panel is checked. If you’re running Outlook during the install, you’ll receive a notification to close out of it before continuing with the installation. It only works with Windows Vista SP 2 and higher – Windows XP users are out of luck. First, download the iCloud Control Panel for Windows.
