So how does Messenger work? I want to be able to use it like texting on the iPad or an alternative to that. Why did Microsoft erase it in W8.1? Does Skype do the EXACT same thing Messenger did? Why do I have to pay to write a message or do a call because I can just use google hangouts or something else?

Oh and sorry if this is the wrong forum for this post...Thanks

I have synced two accounts to Outlook 2011 (one which is a Microsoft 365 and the other is a BT Yahoo account). The folders from the Microsoft 365 account have synced correctly with Outlook however the folders for the BT Yahoo account have not synced at all. I wondered if anyone else has had this problem and/or had a solution.

Many thanks.

I have Windows 7.  Every time I try to log into Microsoft for this forum and every time I try to log in to my Outlook email, I am asked for my email address and password.  Every single time I get told it is the wrong password and then they have to send an email to my gmail account which often doesn't arrive and I have to keep asking.  When it does, often I type the code in and it doesn't work but even if it does, then they have to phone to give me another code.  When I type that in it tells me again that I don't have the right code and I have to keep going through this over and over until finally I get in.  I don't understand the reason for this or how to stop it.  Every time I try to log in I have to change my password.  Can't we use the same password for a while?  I can't even get a password to last 2 days.  It is very frustrating.  Thanks if anyone can help.

Recently I worked with Microsoft help to roll back my windows 8.1 update to 8.0 and reinstall 8.1. as a consequence I had to reinstall Microsoft Live essentials. When I reinstalled windows live photo gallery I realized I no longer had all of the tags and descriptions that I had so painstakingly applied. Is there any way to retrieve my old .pd6 file or re associate my lost tags?

I have been using a new PC with windows 8.1. When Photo Gallery is opened a lot of photos I downloaded from my old PC don't open. Specifically MIX and PDD. I have looked all over the web including Microsoft and can't find anything that tells me how, if it's possible to open these files. It's surprising because MIX is a Microsoft Picture it output.

We have three iMac computers and one macbook pro running outlook and a hosted microsoft exchange. two of the iMacs are running microsoft 360 while the other one and the laptop are using microsoft for mac 2011. We all have the same email address synced to our computers but the two with Microsoft 360 are not syncing with the other calendar and contacts. We can't see what the other add or take away. They are all syncing correctly otherwise. How can we get the calendars and contacts sync correctly?

Thanks!

I used my hotmail account relentlessly in college. I recently went back to retrieve a couple of screenplays I slaved over back then. I had emailed them to myself (I assumed it was a safe place) and they are all gone... I mean, I have ZERO email in my hotmail account. I just need confirmation... did Microsoft delete all of my years of email for some reason? Is there any way at all to get back some of my writing??

Thanks
