Can’t upload 30g music with 100g available

24. September 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: google, music files

Hello,

Let me first say I totally am sold on SkyDrive. Google couldn't handle my 2.7 mb file. Can't recall the size limit but most of my documents are pretty large. So I switched to SkyDrive...no problems. Manually reset my Surface Pro (mea culpa) and all my setting and software were back in no time.

Now I've run into a problem. I have 127 gigs (100g of which are purchased). I have 125 gigs available but was unable to upload my music files (30g). I tried copying the entire folder to the Sky Drive desktop app. I got a return message that I needed 2.7 gigs more. Can someone please give me some guidance on how to upload the music files? Or why I'm getting this message.

I'm working on a Windows 7 Pro PC using the SkyDrive desktop app.

Thanks,

Outlook.com Calendar Share Links Are Not Reachable (They’re Broken)

23. September 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: google, microsoft

Hi guys,

I've been asked by your colleagues on Twitter to create a separate thread for my issue. I'm going to paste this from the other big thread into here.

I've already given the (useless) mods all the info I was asked, so now I'd like to see Microsoft Support at work. I have no faith in getting this fixed in 2013, but hey... what the ****... wishful thinking. There's always Google, you know. And that works.

Hi guys,

So, I'm having the same problem as everyone here. I'm trying to add (subscribe) my Outlook.com calendar in OS X Mountain Lion (yeah, on a Mac) and the same problem occurs.

The Calendar application in Mountain Lion hits me with this error --

I tried to access the links via the web browser -- Google Chrome, Safari (which redirects to the default Calendar app, anyway -- and the same thing happened -- URL cannot be reached.

Now, I know I'm not doing anything major here, and am not alone in having this issue. It's clearly a problem between us all and Microsoft's servers. What are you, Microsoft, doing to fix it?

I mean, there's no official app for Outlook.com that I can use to get my Calendar stuff nor support for CalDAV as far as I know, so... what can I do? Don't tell me to switch to Windows 8, as this is not the point (and I already use it, just not on the Mac).

End quote

PS: I've already done the links reset thingy, so don't bother telling me that.

Why! Just why change things.

I have had the misfortune to have a past hotmail account live so I appreciate the need for security. However, if I was that worried about security, I wouldnt be using hotmail. So why are they making the same mistake as Google? I dropped google when they started to link everything together and became the ultra invasive replacement for microsoft. Going back to what felt like relatively safe hotmail I logged in today to find they want everything including my inside leg measurement just to let me log in. I dont want to give out my phone number, I dont want to link everything I own to a personal email account and I sure as **** wont provide more than basic information particularly in light of recent security scares. In the old days me mum used to say "if you havent done anything wrong you have nothing to fear". That was pre google. Now we are living in Orwellian nightmare world I feel extremely paranoid about giving more information to anyone that just patently doesnt need it. Google were at the top of my list of scarey companies for linking just about everything and trying to sell my data to just about anyone on earth. Now MS has done the same and I cant even properly access my sign in because its asking for masses more necessary information than I feel comfortable providing. I had this email address for a long time so its painful letting it go. Thanks a lot for the "allow" option on my private life or nothing choices. Wouldnt it be good for business and just nice to be the good friendly company for once now google went super invasive?

Outlook.com People continue the sync process in its background worker area to fetch the update from Google & Skype Contact ?

23. September 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: google, Skype

I don't think so.

I recently add my gmail account with outlook.com to sync my gmail contact in outlook.com - People.

After successfully sync, I update my one of google contact's mobile number. after 2 days, Its still not reflected in my Outlook.com - People

I have checked & it's updated in my Google Contact.

Even I changed my one of the Skype contact & it's also not yet reflected. Don't know how these services are working..

even there is no any such indicator or status or small app from microsoft where we can check the contact side by side.

Now, God (Microsoft) knows when that will sync & updated successfully. Instead if they provide the sync option to us, we can easily sync & take that in my Lumia. Now, I need to update that in two places

1) in Google 2) in LUMIA / Outlook separately because of this bad service sync.

So, we can't guarantee or trust of Microsoft Sync services as we had before.

Why is security number required for Hotmail?

18. September 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: Facebook, google, hotmail addy, microsoft

I've had the same hotmail addy for nearly 10yrs. The only problems I've ever had occurred whenever Microsoft would make alterations or improvements, and they were minor. Unlike Microsoft, Google, Facebook etc., who readily fulfill request for information regarding their users, I'm not the type that is involved in social media, nor do I engage in other risky online behavior, which is why I've sailed pretty smoothly for so long, so - Why do I need to submit my personal information (phone number) for "security purposes"?

Windows Live Mail will not allow google to open my legitimate links.

17. September 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: google, Windows Live Mail

Live Mail has changed - it used to work fine in combination with Google as my default search engine. For months, however, after opening Email, Live Mail will not permit sites to be opened. It does not matter if the source is Google (I have a vital Alert ongoing for research there). It does not work for Windows itself. Nor does it work for legitimate government contacts, reputable corporations nor for contacts from good friends, long on my contacts list.

What is going on. How can I remedy this? I have tried switching to Bing, and it is such a weak competitor for Google Chrome that I have gone back to Google. All I really care about is the answer to my question above: How can I remedy this?

Trying to setup Outlook.com with a custom domain…

12. September 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: BBB, google, Microsoft account, setup Outlook

I currently have email through two custom domains ([AAA].com & [BBB].com) that are hosted with Google. I'd like to switch over to using Outlook.com for my email. I previously had setup Outlook with the BBB.com domain at domains.live.com. I'd also like to use *** Email address is removed for privacy *** as my primary Microsoft account alias. When I logged in as *** Email address is removed for privacy *** to add this as an alias and switch it over to be the primary, I couldn't add it. The error given was something like "this account already exists."
I had assumed that because I already had the Outlook service setup for BBB.com, I wasn't going to be able to add that address as an alias and use it as my primary alias. So I shut down the Outlook service, and moved BBB.com back to Google for the time being. However, I still can't add BBB.com as an alias to my account.
Long story short… how can I setup *** Email address is removed for privacy *** as the primary account alias for my Microsoft account, as well as use Outlook.com for my email hosting? (I'd like to stop using Google completely, so I don't want to use forwarding or POP access to get the mail.)

I have tried everything that I know to do but I'm not getting notifications from Insanejournal or Livejournal

I really want to use outlook for my email and switch over from Google but this is making it impossible as I get a lot of mail from those services. Can you help me figure out what is going on? Any help would be appreciated!

Sending to recipients comes back to me; Receiving locks up at 3/4 mark

02. September 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: google, Verizon

I use WLM to receive/send emails from/to Google, Msn, Verizon, and my webpage email address.

Suddenly now, when sending either the email comes back to ME as the recipient (!!!) or it just SITS in the Outbox (MOST especially when I have multiple attachments). It worked well before this week.

Now, when receiving, I tell it to update all and send/receive all and it LOCKS up at the 3/4 mark.

I do not get error messages.

AAArrrrgggghhhh!

What is wrong? How to solve this problem?
