[UPDATE: to anyone coming to this thread for the first time: this odyssey begins with trying to sync Outlook to the iPhone and covers a good portion of that area; if that's your situation, I think you'll learn a few things that might be helpful. However, I eventually settled on buying a Mac and then had to figure out how to convert Outlook files to the Mac, which was another problem; I did find solutions and third-party software that worked. Good luck!]
Hello TiPb!
I just bought my first iPhone today, the 4S. I am trying to figure out the best way to sync Outlook 2010.
Previously, I have used CompanionLink to sync Outlook to Google, then my old device synced to Google for Calendar and Contacts and directly to a variety of e-mail accounts etc. I set the device to delete e-mail when deleted from the server.
So, I'm trying to understand iCloud and whether or not I need to use CompanionLink (and whether I need to upgrade CL, as well).
I just installed the iCloud control panel on my PC and I have the latest version if iTunes. But I haven't configured the iCloud control panel yet because I'm not sure which is the best option that will give me the best, most complete sync.
Also, I would like to cut the cord to google and not have my data on the web; however, I'm not sure if iCloud control panel sync stores it in the actual iCloud or just does a local sync via Wi-Fi when I am at home.
Thanks for your patience with a rookie!
