Could you please help fix an issue with sending photo album via windows live mail. I have a paid subscription to windows live mail (ie formally Hotmail and now outlook.com). have had this problem since Skydrive was changed to Onedrive. I have read all of
the other various past threads on this and similar issues regarding sending photos, emails, attachments, as well as issues with syncing, etc. I tried the fix-its associated with some of these threads and tried other solutions as well. The problem seems to
occur after sending the email... It gets stuck during the step of creating an album on Onedrive... ie it is unable to upload the photos to onedrive for sending... I was able to do this the very week before Skydrive was changed to Onedrive so I do not know
if there are some different settings, etc... But I think it is an issue on the Microsoft end because my father who lives out of state and has a completely different account, etc but also uses windows 7 called me for help with the very same issue... And a friend
of mine who also uses Windows 7 and windows live mail (ie outlook.com) is also having the same issue. I do hope Microsoft can resolve this issue. Thank you
Hi guys,
I save all my files to Skydrive these days and I have noticed that in the Win8.1 Skydrive app there are folders that were created for me, not by me (see screenshot: Pictures, there was one called Documents but I successfully deleted it after several attempts)
That's no big deal really, although I would like Skydrive to me organised the way I want it to be (the pictures folder reappears no matter how many times you delete it, heck even the documents folder gave up eventually!). The really odd thing I have noticed is this:
If you can't read that it says: "C:\Users\Enda\Skydrive\Documents is unavailable. If the location is on this PC, make sure the device or drive is connected or the disc is inserted, and then try again. If the location is on a network, make sure you're connected to the network or Internet, and then try again. If the location still can't be found, it might have been moved or deleted.".
I am connected to the network and all else checks out. The thing is I did deleted this folder. The default save location is set to C:\Users\Enda\Skydrive (and I don't need this function anyway as I manually save my files).
So why does the computer try to save to this location if the documents folder (which I remind you was deleted) is not set as the default save location?
I would like to point out at this point that this is no big deal. I can just hit OK and save to wherever. I am just curious.
Thanks in advance and please ask if you need me to clarify further,
eck
My Windows 8.1 PC and Windows Phone 8 apps that interact with SkyDrive cannot upload or download files. When I try this I get a few different error messages but I'm sure they're all related. I recently changed my Microsoft Account password, but this is the only glitch I've encountered. I also changed my display name from Eric F to Eric J F, but I can't imagine that had any effect.
The apps that are a problem are listed in my MS account settings under Account Settings/Permissions/Apps and Services. The various app error messages are:
Problem uploading to SkyDrive: An error occurred while retrieving the resource. Try again later.
Unable to retrieve folder properties on SkyDrive.
Cannot connect to SkyDrive.
I've tried the following with no success:
Logging in and out and restarting
Uninstalling and reinstalling the apps
Removing the permissions (from above) and reinstalling the apps
Creating new files and/or folders for the apps
Re-syncing the app licenses
Copying. pasting, moving, and deleting to and from SkyDrive works fine, so it's an app-related issue.
Any insights or suggestions are appreciated!
Ever since the launch of Skype (and Facebook) webchat integration into Outlook.com I am experiencing an issue where using the Skype messaging pane from the various tab views (Mail, People, Calendar, SkyDrive) while logged into outlook.com is only possible from the Skydrive tab.
In addition another issue occurs where connected facebook chat histories are only displayed in Calendar and SkyDrive view but NOT in Mail and People view.
Apparently switching my language settings in the according areas (Mail, People,Calender & Skydrive) from English (US) to English (UK) seems to be a workaround and skype integration then seems to work fine (the issue with the facebook chat history display remains though).
Please refer to the below private message thread for detailed information and previous analysis information (provided fiddler trace & screenshots):
Thanks & Regards
Serge
