OneNote syncing to wrong SkyDrive account

21. October 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: , ,

OneNote 2010 just started syncing to the wrong skydrive account.  My previous notebooks would no longer sync so I closed and tried to re-open.  It turns out it could not because it was now linked to a different account (a new one recently setup for a different business).  It now, will only link to notebooks under that account.

 

I've tried unlinking sydrive from the system tray, and relinking.  SkyDrive itself shows the correct account, but OneNote still does not.

 

I've tried opening the Notebooks from IE into OneNote, nope.

 

I've clicked (Not XXXX?) on the Open Notebook page and it does nothing but refresh with the same, wrong, account.

 

How do I detach OneNote from the wrong account?

 

 

OneNote 2010 not syncing on Windows 7, skydrive and windows Phone 8

As of 18th September 2013 my OneNote 2010 Notebooks are not syncing to skydrive.

I first became aware of this when I opened the OneNote app (which seems to have vanished from the app store on Nokia Lumia 820) and found a single Notebook which I did not recognise and was empty, other than a link/folder labelled 'Quick Notes', a folder I was also unfamiliar with and was also empty.

Upon discovering this I went on to my PC and found that thankfully my Notebooks still existed.

 

I tried the Sync option as on the 18th I had tried to move my skydrive folder on my PC, so thought this might have disrupted things (I ended up putting the Skydrive Folder back where it was to begin with and believed that I had set it up correctly, as it was fine when I checked a few of my folders and content online.) evidently I am either wrong, or judging by the list of complaints/queries Microsoft is so busy modifying things, do deal with taking on board a mobile phone corporation as part of its make-up that it is causing problems for it's users. (Also Onenote is missing from Microsoft's list of options for reporting a problem, not to mention that selecting "Report a Problem" did NOT let me report a problem!!!!

 

Alas, they now refuse to sync to skydrive and when I try manually (as per instructions given by Microsoft, File Tab > Info> select link next to notebook > copy > paste into browser URL box > press Enter), skydrive refuses to acknowledge them, other that to tell me:

 

"This item might not exist or is no longer available"

"This item might have been deleted, expired or you might not have permission to view it. Contact the owner of this item for more information."

I am the owner of "...this item..."!!!!!

 

I would like and NEED my OneNote to sync from and to my PC as well as my Laptop and Phone.

 

Thank you for any assist.
