Hi Milena,
I am just wondering if you read my comment above, and if you have anything else for me to try?
Thanks.
Hi PL,
Apologies for the late response.
As a matter of exception, as we do not offer support for our free tools, our Customer Service technician will contact you via email.
Hi Milena,
Thank you very much – I followed your instructions and now I have my CodeTwo Sync panel back in Outlook 2016. However, after a completely clean install of the CodeTwo panel (1.4.0.0) and a clean install of the iCloud Control Panel (5.2) I am still experiencing the original problem:
A one-way sync from my Outlook Calendar to my new (starts out blank) iCloud Calendar results in continuously creating new events – if I don’t stop it there can be many copies of the same event on a single day. It doesn’t happen to all events – just to some. Maybe only to events I’ve created since moving to 2016? I’m not sure.
Any ideas?
Hi Milena,
Thanks so much for your help. I was actually running the latest version of iCloud as well as version 1.4 of the control panel. But just in case, I completely uninstalled iCloud and removed the codetwo add-in from Outlook 2016. Then I reinstalled the latest iCloud panel and configured it for use with Outlook calenders, etc. Then I re-installed the codetwo software using your link above.
Now my problem is that even though the installation seemed to work, Outlook is not showing the CodeTwo panel. Nor does it appear in the list of Add-Ons. It is not even showing there as disabled – it does not appear at all.
I made sure I had quit outlook before installing the CodeTwo software, and even rebooted before installing the CodeTwo software to make sure. I don’t see any uninstall for CodeTwo.
Any ideas?
Hi,
If CodeTwo Sync for iCloud is not listed on the Add-ins list, please follow these steps to add the C2SyncForiCloud.dll file manually:
1. Open your Outlook 2016.
2. In Outlook, go to File>Options.
3. In the Options window, go to the Add-Ins section and click the Go… button. Make sure that in the Manage field you selected the COM Add-ins option.
4. In the resulting window, click Add and select the C2SyncForiCloud.dll file.
The default location for this file is:
C:\Program Files (x86)\CodeTwo\Sync for iCloud\C2SyncForiCloud.dllor
C:\Program Files\CodeTwo\Sync for iCloud\C2SyncForiCloud.dllLet me know whether it helps!
Hi,
I also bought the program several years ago, but I’ve recently started having a strange problem. I am syncing between a calendar on Outlook 2016 and a new iCloud Calendar using a one-way sync from Outlook->iCloud. Everything works EXCEPT some calendar events that were created automatically via meeting requests keep getting duplicated over and over. Keep in mind that this is a one-way sync so the iCloud Calendar gets filled up with copies of these events.
Because of this, I can’t use the product at all! Is there any way you can suggest something for me to try? Note that all other calendar events are syncing as expected.
Hi,
Please update the program to the newest version (1.4), which you can download here: https://www.codetwo.com/sync-for-icloud/download?sts=5999.
The issue with meeting requests synchronization you are describing has been fixed in version 1.3.3: https://www.codetwo.com/sync-for-icloud/history?sts=5999.
As for using Outlook 2016, please also make sure that you are using the latest version of iCloud for Windows: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204283.
Hello,
I bought the programm about two years ago and I like that everyone now can benefit from your software. But after reinstalling it the configuration icon is not showing in the outlook menu. I read all FAQ and knowledge facts (e.g. deactivatet add-on, trust center, default profile etc.) but nothing helps. Without this icon I can’t configure the sync to icloud. I’m using Outlook 2007. Any idea whats happend here?
Greetings Peter
Hello Peter,
Please remove your current installation completely as per this KB article: https://www.codetwo.com/kb/uninstall/?sts=5999 (remove all CodeTwo-related folders from your computer).
Then, download CodeTwo Sync for iCloud version 1.4 from this website: https://www.codetwo.com/sync-for-icloud/download?sts=5999 and perform a fresh installation (during the installation, Outlook must be closed).
Keep in mind that removing all CodeTwo-related files results in removing cached data with information about already synchronized items so duplicates may appear during the first synchronization.
Let me know about the results!
