Windows and Icloud Mail etc: Failing to initialise

Hi
TomParkinson2,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

Could you please help me with the below questions:

1. Are you aware of making any changes to the computer prior to the issue?
   
2. Do you receive any error message when the spinner stops?
   

I suggest you to follow the steps mentioned below:

Method 1: Uninstall iCloud application.


I would suggest you to Sign out from the iCloud account from the app, then uninstall the application.

1. Press Windows
   and R key together on your Keyboard.
   
2. Type appwiz.cpl and hit enter.
   
3. Select the iCloud application and click on Uninstall.
   

Method 2: Reinstall iCloud application.


Step 1:

I would suggest you to ‘Download
the latest version of iCloud’
from the apple website. Follow the Onscreen instructions and install the application. For more information, check the article on
Set up and use iCloud for Windows.


Step 2:

Once the installation is completed, tap on the Windows key on your keyboard, search for ICloud app. Right click on the app and click on
Pin to taskbar.

If you are using Surface PC, I would suggest you to follow steps mentioned in the Microsoft article about
Using Surface with iPhone, iCloud,
and iTunes.

Hope it helps.

Let us know if you got the help you needed by clicking ‘Yes’ or ‘No’.

problems with USB3 connections on Surface Book2

I have been trying to connect the video input device Intensity Shuttle with USB3 but the software will not recognise the device on the Surface Book2 15 1 TB. The connection is effective on a Surface but it is not powerful enough to capture more than a
few frames of movies. The device is picked up in the the device manager but this does not have recognition when the software checks for it. My IT support says he is having similar problems with the Surface Book2 with USB3 connections to printers and other
devices. There appears to be some modification to the USB3 connection in the computer. Can a work around be achieved. If I buy a video input with USB C connection is this standard and would it work in the routine way?
