Update: How To Sync iCloud Calendar With Windows 10 Calendar App
Some days ago I describe a solution to set up iCloud email in Windows 8 mail app. Setting up the iCloud calendar in Windows 8 mail app is not that easy and only ‘read only’ is possible. The solution is to subscribe to your own iCloud calendar in your outlook.com or Windows Live account. Syncing Google Calendar (Gmail) with Windows 8 mail app via ‘read only’ is also possible: Setting Up Google Calendar Syncing In Windows 8 Calendar App.
Here we are:
- Go to http://www.iCloud.com, login, choose calendar, click on the ‘WiFi’-like Logo next to the calendar you want to see in Windows mail app, choose public calendar, send link to your outlook.com or Windows Live email address
- Login to outlook.com or Windows Live account, go to calendar in the PC website view, click on ‘subscribe’, choose a calendar name and paste the iCloud calendar link
That’s it! Now you should see the iCloud calendar in the Windows mail app.
Updates:
- iCloud Calendar On Windows 8, 8.1, WP 7 And 8 Via Outlook.com Working Again
- iCloud calendar subscription in Outlook.com does not work anymore in every case or does not sync properly. It seems to be an issue of Outlook.com. In my case, only ‘all-day’ events are synced, all other appointments aren’t synced. There’s a big discussion on Microsoft Answers and it looks like Microsoft is not willing to solve this problem. The only solution will be the announced CalDav / CardDav compatibility of Windows 8 / 8.1 and Windows Phone 7 / 8.
- A workaround via Google calendar sync is described here. However, it only works if you used Google Sync on your device before January, 31, 2013, because Google discontinued Google Sync and therefore, the Active Sync support, too.
Stay tuned 😉

nothing……
Sorry, I pasted the wrong link above. I corrected it. Have you already check this link:
https://miapple.me/2013/01/26/adding-icloud-calendar-to-windows-phone-7-and-8-via-google-calendar-and-sync/
i know this method but i need icloud to live calendar:(
Update 01/25/2013: It seems that there is an issue in the iCloud concerning the subscription of ‘public’ Cloud calendars:
I checked my iCloud caledar subscription on outlook.com and on google.com calendar. In both cases the synchronisation does not work! This means it is an iCloud problem.
I’ll keep you updated…
Update 01/26/2013: Up to now I found a solution to get iCloud calendar synced via Google at least:
https://miapple.me/2013/01/26/adding-icloud-calendar-to-windows-phone-7-and-8-via-google-calendar-and-sync/
doesn’t work! icloud calendar doesn’t appear in live calendar
Did you send the link per email and then copied the link? Just copying the link without sending per email will not work!
i try but i don’t see the link but only the button to subscribe.

You gave up a little bit too early! Go back again to your email:
On iPhone/iPad: Touch and hold your finger on the button until the option button appears. Choose ‘Copy’….
On a PC: Move with the mouse cursor on the button, then right click on the mouse. Choose ‘Copy the Link’…
That”s it! 😉
I have already tried these two methods: (
Have been updated or added to the schedule 1 of 12 appointments. There is a problem with one or more appointments. This is the message in live calendar
Could you be a little bit more detailed? Did you manage it to get an iCloud subription in the Windows mail app or not?
Here you can see my setting up:

It must be ‘public calendar’.
I did just that 🙁

@Luca: Your screen shots look correctly. Therefore I checked my public iCloud calendar right now and I’ve got sync problems, too! It seems to be a recent general issue. Maybe we’ve have to wait for a while…
I will analyze the problem and come back with information as soon as possible!

I did this, but I can’t new events that I enter in my icloud calendars to show up in the Outlook.com calendar. The events that are already there will show up when I initially subscribe, but then no new entries will show up. Thanks!
That’s curious….
Maybe you chose another calendar in your iPhone/iPad/Mac, e.g. a local one which is not synced in the iCloud. Could you check this?
I pulled the sharing url from icloud calendar online and pasted it when prompted when I subscribed in outlook.com. Seems like I’m doing something wrong that most people don’t encounter, because I can’t find support for this particular problem anywhere.
Check this out: Send the link per Email and copy the link of the Email. So far I remember, I faced the same problem like you….
Thank you! That’s it!!
That seems to be very easy. But I still have a problem with the last step: Where do I find the iCloud calendar link? By sending the iCloud-calendar on my live account, I just get asked whether I want to join the calendar. But I can´t find a link in the email.
Thank´s for your answer
You have to choose ‘public calendar’ and not ‘private calendar’ on iCloud.com because ‘private calendar’ works only between Apple accounts. If you use ‘public calendar’ you’ll be able to send the link per email to yourself. After that, copy the link and put it in the mail app as described.
Cheers,
