The issue is on my Win 8 Pro for my laptop. The People App does not sync/link with Facebook or Twitter like it used to. I got them connected in my account online but no longer in the People App on the Win 8 Pro.

Hello. I am using the latest updates on Windows 8.1 Preview, and I have my SkyDrive set up so all my Visual Studio projects are in a folder in my SkyDrive. All of the following are true:

-The VS Projects folder where my visual studio projects are located is marked for offline use, including all subdirectories where my project is located.

-The initial download step is complete.

-I am using the preview version of VS 2013.


I am working my projects as I usually do; however, when I am editing a file, a box pops up randomly and says that the project has been modified outside the editor, and asks me if I want to reload it.

-I am not in fact editing the file outside the editor.

-This didn't happen with the old desktop sync client for SkyDrive for Windows 8.0 to Vista.


Therefore, this is a problem with SkyDrive, since for some reason, it is appearing to outside applications to be modifying the files when in fact the contents of the file doesn't change. This is a problem, because if I click "yes," I lose all work I have done since I last saved. I also don't know if it was legitimately modified by an outside program, or if it is just Skydrive messing with it. This is a bug and hinders the usability of not only Visual Studio, but other programs that detect when a file is modified, when used in conjunction with SkyDrive.


Is there any workarounds? Skydrive cannot be uninstalled in Windows 8.1, and the old Skydrive client doesn't install on Windows 8.1. Thank you!

Help! I am unable to login to outlook.com with alias email account whilst using a custom domain name.

How can I get my live mesh files back? I'm 86 years of age and not the most computer literate person.  My son had set me up with live mesh as a backup. My hard drive crashed.  When my son logged me into see where the files were we discovered  Microsoft got rid of Mesh and my data! WHY couldn't they have moved it to skydrive?  This is really inconsiderate of Microsoft.  We thought the data was safe and they really let me down
How can I get the Skype page to stop loading when I want my email. I load my Hotmail/Outlook email and Skype shows up. I want it to STOP.
Need to add a link to have someone opt out of getting emails if they wants. Send out group emails & would like to add that link. How is that done?

I have contact names and emails that are no longer valid that were migrated from other email accounts.  I cannot delete them, even though they have been deleted from the original email account.

 

Thanks
