Skydrive sync engine stopped working in Windows 8.1

07. November 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags:
My skydrive has been syncing information between my 2 windows 8.1 computer.  My desktop was uploading 2400 files and downloading 2.  I went into the skydrive folder and deleted files that where duplicates.  I got a message saying that the skydrive sync engine has stopped.  Stop skydrive and find a solution or just plain stop skydrive.  I tried both and closed skydrive and restarted it every time.  I got the same message about 4 or 5 times.  I no longer get the message but all of those files are showing pending.  Is there a way to fix the sync engine or do I have to restore or refresh the computer which will take a day or 2.  Please help.

I am trying to use skydrive because i use office 365 and would be glad to have my files sync between my two computers but it doesn't work at all. My files are small and i don't use long names with strange characters. I only have pdfs power points and word docs. even though skydrive can't sync the files. I upload them on windows 8 then when i get home and turn on my mac (osx mavericks) it starts downloading the files, when it reaches 20% it starts again and again and...it drains my battery, congests my network and the files don't get sync. I am using lens than 100 mb and 20 files on skydive...even though no success! 

Please help!
thanx!

How to sync Outlook notes from an outlook.com account with an iPhone?

04. November 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: , ,
Hi!

I configured an outlook.com account on my iPhone (iOS7) and just learned, that are only the following assets available for sync:
Mails, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders.

Is it true, that I cannot sync my Outlook notes with my iPhone anymore (via EAS)?
Why would that feature have been disabled with outlook.com?

Thanks & Best,
Thomas

My Hotmail Account No Longer Syncs Up to My HTC One Phone (on Sprint)

01. November 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: , ,
For the last several days, my Hotmail account no longer syncs up with my new HTC One phone.  When I try to sync up, I get an Error message that says "Authentication failed.  Please check your address and password and try again."  When I go into the Settings menu and the Accounts and Sync option for MS Hotmail, I see a message that says "Sync is currently experiencing problems.  It will be back shortly."  Any ideas what's the problem?  Thanks for your help.

Skydrive sync takes too long

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

Okay, I've read the posts etc but wish to commence my very own question.  Skydrive has sync'd with my PC (Windows 7)  for the very first time a few weeks ago. I use it daily but it is a frustration that the smallest change e.g. text in a word document takes far too long to look for changes & sync and takes up massive processing time leading to system slowdown. This is also the issue on PC reboot, e.g. when Skydrive is looking for changes.

 

 

What gives me the opinion that sync takes far too long......well my experience with other competitor storage programs is better. I am a windows phone user, PC and Laptop and would very much like to stick with Skydrive but MS, please can you resolve the issue that when SD is looking for changes that it intuitively knows where to look and sync faster.

 

Please advise. 

SkyDrive in Windows 8.1 Pro constantly re-synching

31. October 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags:
Hi everyone,
I recently upgraded to Windows 8.1 and noted the changes in SkyDrive and locations.  I moved all of my files and folders from the partition and location I had them stored with the Win8 SkyDrive application.
All seemed to go well and I saw the folders sync'ing with the current online versions.  I have 22+gb of files and left it over night to finish (thank godness for unlimited internet),
When I checked in the morning it was still trying to sync 574 files.  I shows them as Pending then they upload, then completed but I noticed the number of files was still 574.  I scroll to the end and the file I just saw as completed is showing as pending again.  This has now gone on for several days with the same files syncing over and over again.
I am really concerned that the files may be lost or that the entire sync process will not complete.
Now all of the amended files are stuck in the MS Office upload centre.
 

Some calendar entries in Outlook 2013 not syncing to Outlook.com Calendar

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

Some calendar appointments (those received from a POP email address different from my live.com account) register correctly in Outlook 2013 (on Windows 8.1 Pro) but do not sync to my Outlook.com Calendar. Calendar entries made manually on Outlook 2013 calendar sync correctly, as do any accepted meeting requests received directly to my live.com email account (although meeting requests forwarded to my live.com address from my other account do not sync when Accepted but do register correctly on my local Outlook 2013 calendar).


My wife has the same issue with the same configuration on a different machine so the issue is not account related, nor is it related to a mailbox corruption.


Searching online shows others reporting the same issue (for some months now) but I have not found a solution. Please can you point me to a solution to this serious problem.

Outlook 2007 not syncronizing all folders of a Hotmail account (IMAP account)

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

Until yesterday all folders were sync´d fine. But today when the sync starts, everything it´s fine until the end of the process (91% aprox) when an error appears saying: can not connect to server imap-outlook.com. The issue seems to be only with Sent folder, as all other folders are sync´d ok.

Is there any issue with IMAP server? Thanks

Why won’t my live.co.uk email sync properly in Mac Mail with IMAP?

28. October 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: , ,
Hi,

I reported this issue a number of weeks ago

http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windowslive/forum/mail-sync/setting-up-imap-for-hotmaillive-on-mac-mail/778f0c03-f19c-48c3-a67f-c90e56a5bdcf?tm=1380152185673

I also came across a number of threads complaining about the same issue.

http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windowslive/forum/mail-sync/mac-mail-problems-syncing-inbox-with-imap-hotmail/fd9ce586-75b4-4a12-977c-b52019fba4e9

It was said that microsoft was aware of the issue and we're fixing it but the problem still exists.

When using a outlook.com email with IMAP the emails sync find.

With live.co.uk I have the problem of the emails not syncing properly as well as every time i send a email it appears in my inbox as I message sent to me from me.

Any ideas on a fix?

This issue is very annoying and has been occurring for at least a month

Kind Regards Dan

How can I get ALL of my Outlook calendars to sync to android?

28. October 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: , , ,
I have multiple calendars in my outlook.com account - personal, work, holiday, birthdays, etc. Only my primary (personal) outlook calendar is syncing to my android phone. How can I get all of them to sync, or do I just have to use one for everything if I want my appointments to show up in my phone? I  am just syncing the account to my phone, not using the Outlook app because I prefer to have a combines inbox with all of my various accounts rather than having to open multiple apps to check each one. Email syncs just fine and so does the main calendar, but the work calendar not syncing is a problem.
