Why can I not use iCloud on my laptop I used to but not it tells me an error and I think it's telling me I must have at least Microsoft office 7 or later on my laptop I thought apple was in competition with Microsoft ,should I get an iCloud app on my IPad I have an iCloud mail account that I set up when it was working. Help please.

For the iCloud control panel on your pc, Windows 7 or 8 have to be installed. (System requirements)

There's no iCloud app. If you have an iCloud mail account, this feature is already installed on your iPad. Just go to Settings - iCloud to see what's enabled there.

thank you I take it outlook 2007 is part of office because I do use outlook for my emails as this replaced hotmail.



I have tried again but just keep getting the error message, the sad thing is it use to work.

Did you already try to remove iCloud from your PC and reinstall it?
Also turn off your computer and on again. See if this helps.

Your iCloud account can also be accessed through any browser: www. icloud . com (without spaces)

In any case, you could send feedback to Apple (screenshot).

If you need to access it urgently, open a browser on your PC and enter the address I posted before.

If you set up iCloud on your iPad, you can read emails there as well.

Yes thanks I have just tested that I sent an email from my laptop and it was received in my iCloud on my IPad plus I have added the iCloud account to my outlook and it received it there also so that's got to be it for me ,thank you for all your advice.
