iCloud integration causes Outlook to hang when ...

I've been working on integrating iCloud (contacts and calendar) into outlook (tried 2007 & 2010).  With 3 kids I have to integrate our home and work calendars if we expect to have any chance of remembering anything.

I thought I had found a solution, using the basic windows iCloud control panel and then using a free piece of software from CodeTwo - https://www.codetwo.com/sync-for-icloud/ - which essentially just keeps any of your outlook folders (contacts, calendar, etc) in sync with one of the iCloud generated folders.  One way either direction or Two way.

This all worked just fine... except...through process of elimination I found that once the iCloud control panel has generated it's iCloud 'pst' and Outlook is opening it; that Outlook takes an excruciatingly long time (minutes) to switch into the Calendar.  I don't see this behavior when switching to Contacts or back to Mail.  This persists even if I turn syncing for anything outlook related off at the iCloud control panel, presumably because the iCloud folders are still present in outlook.  It isn't until I remove them, that things go back to normal.

Curiously, I'm doing this on two different pc's.  One has normal Outlook (local files) and all works fine, while the other has an Exchange Server account, it's the one that's hanging.

Hi

Are you sure you have the latest updates for Outlook 2010 and 2007 installed? Do you have lots of appointments in your calendar?

And more thing. Are you sure the calendar has finished sycing with iCloud? Perhpas it is still in the processes of sycing and that's why it's slowing down the entire Outlook.

Yes, I do have all the latest updates.  I even ran a test where I exported all my appointments out of my calendar, then deleted them off the exchange server.  This still didn't help.

I was able to get a coworker to run the control panel on his work PC, and he did not see the problem.

Then, I added the exchange account to my home PC on Office 2007 (our exchange server can do this through the outlook web access server) and then the problem showed up there as well.

All I can figure is that there must be some key difference between my outlook account and his, although I can't imagine what that might be.  I'm not inclined to push our IT dept to investigate, it's just not worth the pain of trying to explain the problem to them, just to be told 'we don't support apple products'... i know, i know... just please check this for me.... anyway, not worth it.

I've since rolled everything back into a central gmail account (contacts, calendar) and am using that as the 'cloud' to keep things sync'd.  I'm using a relatively cheap piece of software called 'gsyncit' (https://www.fieldstonsoftware.com/software/gsyncit3/index.shtml) and it seems to be doing the job quite well.  In reality, this is no less integrated than iCloud since that required an extra service to keep things sync'd as well.

It's highly configurable, so i feel like I have much more control over what sync's to what.. no complaints so far.

thanks for the suggestions and attempts to help!

I have the exact same problem, im not using it into my personal computer, im using it in my work's computer, I used it for a time with outlook 2010 with no problem, I even preferred to use the icloud calendar over the excange calendar but after I did a reimage to my computer because something else was acting weird, I resintall everything and from then I started to get the issue you have.

I have tried everything, updates from microsoft, updates from apple, disabling, enablaing the add on but nothing seems to solve the issue, as soon as I disable the icloud add on from outlook the problem is gone.

Same constellation on my system. Same slowness when opening calendar.

I'm also running into the same issue: Windows 7 64 bit with Outlook 2010 (64bit) connected to Exchange.  I'm only using iCloud for Contacts.  As soon as I sign-out of iCloud, performance returns.

Same issue here...anyone found a resolution?

Using Outlook at work on a Windows 7 PC.  Using iCloud Control Panel to integrate my personal calendar.  Calendar now takes 4 - 5 seconds to open since enabling iCloud integration.

Is there a solution?  Or is this something we have to deal with?

I have the same problem in my office. Outlook 2010 and Windows 7. It seems to me that this problem started to occur fairly recently (over the course of the summer). Previously I did not have this problem.

I experience the same thing. Outlook 2010, Windows 7 Pro x64. I've been experiencing this issue since I installed the iCloud control panel app and tried syncing on my system that connects to Exchange Server (last March). I have another computer that does not connect to Exchange Server but connects to a POP server, no problems there with iCould syncing. I get around it by opening appointments in a separate window. A straightforward solution would be nice.

Same thing here, still no solution?

I have the problem both on WIndows 7 with Outlook 2010, and Windows 8 with Outlook 2013

Still no real workable solution (for me, at least).  My workaround is to maintain two open Outlook windows.  I keep one on Calendar at all times, and then use the other to move about Email, contacts, etc.  Kind of clunky, but better than waiting.

+1 for exactly the same problem. Has anyone found a true solution for this yet?

You will have more than one Outlook account in your profile (an Exchange and an IMAP account for example).

In Account Settings, try switching the default account to your IMAP account instead of the Exchange one, then test. I did, and that annoying problem went away.

I then switched it back to using Exchange Account as the default, and I haven't had the problem since.

Hope it works for you guys.

Tried this and it didn't work for me unfortunately. If I wait long enough (like 2-3 minutes) it eventually does switch to Calendar. However, that is nothing new.

I had to disable iCloud in order to have an acceptable response time when I navigate to my Outlook calendar. 5+ minutes was not acceptable. I don't have the time to try to make this work. It will be nice one day when software simply works the way that you are led to believe without having to jump through hoops to get it to work. I am running Office 2010 with Outlook on 64-bit Windows 7. Congratulations to those of you who were able to get it to work.
