We now know Mavericks removed sync services allowing the calendar in Outlook to push appointments to iCal which could be sync'd to other Apple devices (iPhone, iPad, etc).  In iTunes 11.1.2 the selection page was also removed forcing us to use iCloud.  Without sync services there has to be a way to sync directly from the calendar in Outlook to iCloud.  On PC's there is a download called the iCloud Control Panel - looks just like the iCloud panel in Systems Preferences on my Mac.  This will allow you to sync an Outlook calendar directly to iCloud.  My question is, on my Mac if I install this iCloud Control Panel will it work the same way as with a PC using Outlook?  If not, there doesn't seem to be a way to sync calendars from Outlook.  In the iCloud panel within SYstems Preferences on my Mac there isn't a selection for which calendar you want to sync to iCloud - I assume this applies on to the iCal.

[BTW with the aid of Apple Care I was able to recover back to Mountain Lion in order to maintain sync'ing as before the Mavericks install.  However, I notice if I install iTunes 11.1.2 even with ML, the selection page disappears thus necessitating using iCloud.  For now I am sticking with iTunes 11.1.1.  At some point I will need to update - hopefully this sync problem will be solved by then.]
