Windows 8.1 RTM SkyDrive tries to open before network proxy process is done

11. September 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: error message, network proxy, SkyDrive

Every time I log in with Windows 8.1 RTM I get a SkyDrive error message that it cannot get a connection. I suspect the PC has not authenticated through the corporate proxy and thus it cannot reach the MS server. Later on I have no problem. How can I stop or at least delay the SkyDrive attempts to connect?

My contacts disappeared and appears in blank page. I also receive error “Sorry, something went wrong. Please try again, or refresh the page.” when accessing People, SkyDrive and Outlook.com Messenger.

Same issue here: Been working for months and then suddenly all contacts disappeared with blank page. Get error Sorry, something went wrong. Please try again, or refresh the page.

If you continue to have this problem, please report it to Microsoft.

Running WXP with IE8 8.0.6001.18702IC. Also get initial error when selecting Skydrive that tells me I am running the wrong version of IE! There is no other for XP. If I click on continue with out updating Skydrive files appear. Calendar and Email works without error. Windows Phone shows all contacts as normal.

Messenger has also stopped working within outlook.com telling me that I have been logged out of Messenger. When I click on "Login" , the page refreshes with same error.

SkyDrive not syncing

10. September 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: SkyDrive, syncing

SkyDrive is not syncing on my PC. It acts like it is constantly syncing, but does not upload all of my files. Certain folders sync OK, but the others don't. Often times a few files will sync inside of a folder, but the rest of them will not. (They are small files, too; MS Word Docs) I also have trouble when I upload a file to a website from my SkyDrive folder. It appears with files and folders that I have deleted over a year ago.

I tried uninstalling and re-installing, but it didn't seem to help at all.

I have Windows 7 Pro.

Thanks

Hi all,

I need some help with my Skydrive please. I'll try and explain this the best I can.

I have my family photos on Skydrive. They're organised into yearly folders and then months within the folders.

When I log into Skydrive on a PC, or the Skydrive app on my Windows Phone, I can see all of the folders from 2003 through to 2013.

However, when I go to photos > albums on my Windows Phone or Surface RT I can only see some of the files, the rest just aren't there.

I was hoping that someone would be able to help.

Thanks in advance.

Hotmail e-mails lost

10. September 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: hotmail, SkyDrive

Hello,

I recently discovered that all my old e-mails have gone.

The suggestion to recover in this thread, and others, have failed so far.

My few files on Skydrive seem to be still there, so I don't understand why my e-mails have not been automatically backed up to my Skydrive space.

So, how do I recover several years worth of e-mails?

Thank you.

SkyDrive is replaced with a folder icon

10. September 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: folder icon, SkyDrive

I have both SkyDrive and SkyDrive Pro installed and synching properly on my Windows 8 machine. However, the SkyDrive icon looks like a folder while the SkyDrive Pro icon is as it should be (blue cloud). What happened to the icon for SkyDrive and how can I restore it to the original icon?

How to close Sky Drive account?

10. September 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: OpenOffice, SkyDrive

I have really messed up SkyDrive by giving two different addresses and receiving two different codes. At this time of life, maintenance of SkyDrive is too difficult for me; I do not understand how it works.

How do I close my SkyDrive account yet have all my documents returned to Word and/or OpenOffice? I just don't care to learn to deal with SkyDrive right now but _need_ the documents saved in private format in SkyDrive.

Please advise in as simple terms as possible.

Thanks for all your help. This is really a great group of folks to turn to for guidance. In my eighth plus decade, SkyDrive if too difficult.

Thank you all for your help and advice.

Can we backup files using SkyDrive using an old computer running Windows 98?

09. September 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: backup files, SkyDrive, Toshiba Satellite, Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition

Because, I have an Old Laptop called the Toshiba Satellite 2595CDs Laptop at my House that is running Windows 98 Second Edition which is piece of junk and I still don't want to get rid of it, because it still works, so I need to find a good use for that computer to get it to work with SkyDrive even when its an Ancient Laptop from late 1999.

I have uploaded photos from my camera roll into Skydrive on my ipad. Then when I view them online on my desktop, I do not see where they are extracting text. How do I turn this feature on?
