It does all this without asking your permission once you check the sync contacts and calendars checkboxes in the iCloud control panel and press Apply - not surprising, given that the whole point is that "it just works." Whether it does what you want it to do is a whole different matter. pst file from backup.)Ĭonsistency not being an Appleverse virtue, it copies all of your calendars into a parallel set of iCloud calendars while leaving the original alone. (Wonder no more - the answer is, uninstall iCloud and then restore your. Install it on your Windows/Outlook system, and it takes your carefully organized contacts, moves them into a single iCloud contacts folder, and leaves your old Outlook Contacts folder empty - and you wondering how to reverse what it has done. While Apple's iTunes software has won Advice Line's prestigious Software Most Likely to Crash My Computer Award for five years running, its worst offense is forcing me to reboot when it gets in a bad mood - which proves, among other things, that bad moods are contagious.
