Outlook sync with icloud stopped working

MAPI was unable to load the information service when it was working fine for months, just happened today.

C:\progra~2\common~1\Apple\INTERN~1\APLZOD.DLL

So now my icloud has all my tasks, calendar and contacts and my outlook has been wiped. How do I sync and get them back?

icloud said the sync was completed but it does not work.

Try app specific passwords.

Apple ID -Two-factor authentication

Outlook for Mac, or Windows?

Based on what others have posted, as of today, you need an app specific password for all non-Apple applications.

Oh yeah, there is that.

windows.

Try app specific passwords.

Apple ID -Two-factor authentication

I'm sorry but I don't understand the two factor stuff.  I followed the directions to get the app specific code but had no idea what to do with it.  I'm using Outlook on a PC and it worked great.  Then bingo they're gone.  Now I'm afraid I have it all screwed up trying to find the disappearing contacts and appointments!  Help!

where are we supposed to enter the app specific password for Outlook 2010 Windows....the iCloud add in auto installs (are used to) into outlook and became a taskbar on the ribbon....

Enter it where you normally would enter the password.

I assume you do not use MS Office Outlook ....(software).  If you did you would know there are no passwords for add-ins in Outlook.  Ill repeat, for all of those in these forums who keep repeating the issue is not with app specific passwords....we are using an product called iCloud for Windows which allows syncing of calendars and contacts from outlook to icloud....and vice versa.  There is no such place is MS outlook for one to enter a password.  I love how we keep getting the responses to read up on two factor auth and app specific passwords.  Its okay if you do not know the answer....it really is...but please stop directing us to useless links.  If you do know....tell us where in Outlook we enter such password......"where you normally would enter a password" doesn't fit the bill.  We aren't MAC users....we use Windows....and in Outlook the only passwords you enter are for the email POP account.

I'm glad to see this.  I thought I was the nutty one.  I sure couldn't find the place I "would normally enter a password" for my calendars and contacts.  Still I wish I could find a way to get my syncing back.  It is working on the Windows 10 calendar and contact, but I really want my old Outlook to work again.  I like the format much better and it updated instantly.

Yeah IM still working on the issue....after persuing around it appears most trying to help us think we are using an "app"....the young folk do not realize that there exists desktop software you actually install and use instead of just "cloud" apps on phones.

It appears this all started late may to June judging by the posts ....either a Windows update or an iCloud for Windows update broke it.  I am experimenting with a few things...I'll keep you posted.  Those trying to help all of us apparently never heard of the iCloud for Windows add in....that aided in their confusion....

I'm not calling anyone nutty.  I just hate being somewhat computer literate among those who really are computer literate!

Bev, what version of Outlook are you using...2010...?

So it appears...after some research that outlook 2010 home edition is not supported by the latest version of ic loud for Windows....per their site...System requirements for iCloud - Apple Support

It shows at bottom of page:  Outlook 2010 Personal Edition isn't supported.....which is dumb.  I am lucky enough to be able to get a copy of Office 2016 professional for 10 dollars....I am going to try that...

Some people said they tried downgrading icloud for windows to version 4....I found it on the web....installed it and verified I was running version 4 but it was not compatible with the new two step authorization. 

My issue was I was running Outlook 2003....so I have no idea why it stopped working....but I have updated iTunes (which must be done apparently)....have latest version of icloud for windows and am installing outlook 2016....Ill update you.  If it doesn't work for me....I'm out....just gonna have to do without calendar syncing with outlook....maybe its their attempt to get people to use the web app outlook like the younger folks are clamoring for....I'm 41 and have been using computers since before most of these helpers have been alive.....lol
