Question asked on Mar 6, 2014

I've been having a huge problem and even the technical support guys I use are stumped!

I have a calendar in Windows Live that has always sync'd with my calendar on my iPhone-apparently because the calendar on my phone was set up as an Exchange account/calendar. I am now using Outlook for Mac and we can't get the calendar to sync with either the phone or WLM calendar. However, Apple have advised that if I can get Outlook on my Windows Vista machine (the one I use WLM on) I can then sign into my ??? (icloud or exchange account)?..go to icloud control panel and somehow sync them. Basically, the calendar that I want is sitting under my Exchange (heading) on my iPhone-I need it to sit under "icloud".

I don't mind not being able to use the calendar in Outlook (if it doesn't sync with anything)-I understand Outlook for Windows does more stuff than Outlook for Mac)? but I'd like to be able to access my (current) Exchange calendar on www.icloud.com so that I can start to use that calendar so that I can have access to my calendar on both my Mac and Windows PC.

Does anyone know what I am talking about:). If yes, you are a star!

I have yet to explain to my tech guys what Apple have advised and hope they understand. They were thinking I might have to rely on using my Windows Live calendar (via the "Live" website) on both computers but I really don't like that website; it's not as user friendly or smooth-operating as the icloud.

If you know what I am on about and can break down what I need to do step by step, I'd be grateful!
