Setting Up iCloud for PC - HoldsworthJordan Tutorials

is there any way i can get iCloud with windows XP? it is the only that i am having trouble with

[HoldsworthJordan]

@wolfjlf88 I do believe Apple banned iCloud for Windows XP - I aren't too sure why, but Apple do like to stay up to date with everything they do, and with Windows XP support phasing out at the moment, Apple might be looking to focus on those newer OS'.

@HoldsworthJordan I finally figured out all the outlook stuff after 4 hours, but now I'm trying to figure out how to link my hotmail accounts. I have 2 hotmail accounts, that I have already set up in my outlook, but they do not show up on my phone. So I tried adding them as a 'Microsoft Exchange' on my phone, and all inboxes are empty! I am getting so frusterated!!!

@kahsindra On your phone you should add you hotmail accounts using the 'Other' section, rather than Microsoft Exchange. Whats more, you will probably find difficulty in adding other email accounts if you have an Exchange account set up. (Don't ask, Apple tend to make life difficult). Take time and if all fails you might just have to use your iCloud email from now on :)

All of the options show up for me, but the top one 'Mail' I cannot click on it...I've searched everything I could possible think of on Google. Any ideas ? :(

@kahsindra Do you have Outlook installed on your computer? The Mail feature was designed to integrate with only particular Mail clients and I do believe the website states:

"Outlook 2007 or 2010 is required for accessing iCloud email, contacts, and calendars. Safari 5.1.1 or Internet Explorer 8 or later is required for accessing bookmarks."

Do you have this application?
