Hi, I am having a problem. Customer has a new iPhone 5.

I installed itunes 11 and have authorized iTunes on the PC and registered the Phone. She already had the apple id so it was smooth.

The problem is when synching the phone with Outlook 2007 the only option in iTunes is with iCloud. There is not option for choosing Outlook.

What can I do to enable Outlook and iClound synch? She really needs the contants and calendar from Outlook to go into the phone.

Thank you,

Victor

The article does not help because she does not want to sync mail. She wants to sync from Outlook into her phone the contacts, notes, calendar, etc.

I fixed the problem. I had to turn off iCloud from the phone and then in Itunes it finally showed the option to use Outlook which I did. Synced and now everthing and I mean everything is in there. Contacts, Calendar Items, Notes, etc..

Wow, welcome back to 2003 ActiveStink!!! Seriously, why couldn't you get iCloud to work? iCloud Control Panel will sync everything with Outlook. No need to use iTunes. That way you make an update on your phone and it is in Outlook and vice versa...there really isn't a need to sync using iTunes... iCloud Control Panel is not for mail only and you don't even need to sync mail.

Hello. I did not know this could be done. I always say options greyed out until I disabled it. How can it sync with Outlook while not being connected to the phone?

    • Free Software Foundation Europe pushes EU to force Google to allow AI uninstalls on Android by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels Users should be able to fully uninstall AI-based features from Android devices and be able to access interoperability functions, free from Google’s verification requirements, the European Commission has heard as part of an Android interoperability consultation under the Digital Markets Act. These measures were proposed by the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) last week when it submitted its documentation. The FSFE noted that Google had started silently installing AI models without telling users. It noted that the EU’s DMA requires companies like Google to allow users to uninstall pre-loaded software from their devices, but in the case of the AI models Google is installing, they reinstall if you delete them, contravening the DMA. To get Google back under control, the FSFE has told the European Commission that there needs to be improvements within the Android Open Source Project (AOSP). First, it said that users should be able to fully remove pre-loaded AI components from their devices, with companies being prohibited from silently reinstalling or reactivating them. Second, access to Android interoperability features should not be contingent on registration, authorization, or contractual relationships with Google. This pertains to Google’s attempt to force developers to register with Google, even to publish apps to alternative app stores like F-Droid. Discussing its submission, Lucas Lasota, FSFE Legal Programme Manager, said: Google is planning to roll out its Android Developer Certification in September 2026. This will force every Android app developer to register with Google before their software can be installed on certified Android devices, but it should affect those who have removed Google Apps from their device. The program is controversial because it entails the signing of contracts and payment of account fees to Google, as well as the handing over of the identities of developers. It said: The FSFE said that if the Commission’s draft measures remain unchanged, then Google will be allowed to make developers verify their identity. The FSFE believes that asking developers to register is contrary to the text and spirit of the law. In summary, the FSFE has told the Commission that no developer should need a Google account, a Play Store presence, or any agreement with Google to access Android’s interoperability features.
