But it works.Īfter that the above steps should work again. That's a royal pain because it means deleting and then re-syncing all of your iCloud documents and photos. The other option is to completely get rid of iCloud, reboot, and then do a fresh install. Since you've already done that, I don't know if you'd want to bother with doing it all again. Yes, I just completely repeated myself, but that's what I'd do (with the assumption that I missed something along the way). And then do another install of iCloud as admin, then signing in when running iCloud as a normal user, before installing the add-in again. If it were me, I'd try the above again, making sure that the add-in is first disabled from both the current user and from when starting Outlook as admin, and then removed as admin, and then reboot. I just had to go through the process again this past week, likely because Apple changed something (had to re-sign-in to both my iPhone and iPad, then when I booted up the computer it had the good old password issue). Re-open Outlook as the logged-in user and it should now be happy and show wish I knew what to say.This is fine because Outlook was started as administrator and is using the wrong credential cache The iCloud outlook add-in toolbar icon will say "wrong password" instead of "refresh".Manually add the iCloud Outlook Add-in from the file in %ProgramData%, typically: C:\ProgramData\Apple Inc\iCloud\Outlook\aplzod32.dll.Run Outlook as administrator, go to File / Options / Add-ins / Manage COM Add-ins / Go.Check the "Contacts and Calendars with Outlook" option, apply and close.Close Outlook (may need to reboot - feel free to try both ways).Now /remove/ the iCloud addin, still as Administrator.Run Outlook as administrator, disable iCloud addin as per 3&4 above.Disable the iCloud Outlook addin, close Outlook.Run Outlook, go to File / Options / Add-ins / Manage COM Add-ins / Go.Un-check the "Contacts and Calendars with Outlook" option, apply and close.Run iCloud setup as the logged-in iCloud user.That may sound overly optimistic, but looking at the steps in hindsight, they now make sense. This one is just five minutes, and hopefully it will work moving forward. Then this past week iCloud forgot its password for outlook synchronizing again, and I wasn't willing to uninstall and reinstall again, so I kept fiddling around until a new set of steps revealed itself. But that takes hours, removes all iCloud data from the system, and then re-syncs. In July this above fix stopped working due to an update and the only way I found to fix it at the time was to completely uninstall and reinstall iCloud, starting with manually removing the iCloud outlook add-in.
