So I have my Facebook account hooked up to my Outlook.com account, which means that birthday's of my friends are loaded onto my calendar on Outlook.com as well. This is all fine and dandy, however whenever I remove a friend their birthday isn't removed. I try to remove it manually but the calendar says that it can't do that.

Why is it birthday's aren't being removed when I remove them as friends on Facebook?

We just had to reinstall my OS, after which I reinstalled Windows Movie Maker 2012.  This is an app I use regularly but unfortunately, after this reinstall, I am unable to work with animations on all but the first video in my project.  When I try to hover over an animation nothing happens, and when I  actually click to select one I get an hourglass and the app hangs for several seconds, after which the animation still does not work.  I am, however, able to work with Visual Effects just fine.

 

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the application twice and I have no idea what could be causing the issue.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

UPDATE:

 

After performing additional testing I realized the problem is not just with Animations.  I tried to add another video to test and when I tried to play it, the whole app hung and I received a message saying something like "Sorry this is taking longer than expected.  Would you like to close Movie Maker?".

 

It seems like something is wrong with the app in general, not just with Animations.

I have to reset my Conversation Settings over and over again to Group messages by conversation.   It just doesn't stick for more than a week or 2.   It reverts back to Show messages individually.  I've this problem before, but it is much worse since going to Outlook.    I have 2 Hotmail accounts.  I run one in Chrome and one in Firefox so I don't have to sign in and out all the time to check my mail.   The problem seems to be worse in Firefox.    It is very frustrating especially when having an ongoing email conversation with a person and the message you want to look at again is found several  pages down in Hotmail as the group setting as reverted back to individual with me doing anything.

Any suggestions.   It seems like this is a common problem.   Found lots of posts out here on this issue.   Since it is an important one, Hotmail didn't do a very good job testing that the features we want were also available without problems when going to Outlook.

Thank you,

I have my emails categorized into folders, but with my moblies devices (iPhone, iPad) all of the folders appear to be empty therefore making my email useless. Is this a known error or something that will be fixed soon? The folders show up on my devices, but they appear to be empty. The only way I can see them is if I log in on a PC...
Everytime I wish to add a messenger friend on outllook.com (People->Manage->Invite on messenger), I receive the following error:

This page is temporarily unavailable
We're sorry, there was a problem showing this page. We experienced some technical difficulties retrieving the content.


No matter what I do this just don't go away. I tried several computers but no luck. This problem seems persistent. Can anyone help me troubleshoot it?
I need some support. I was going through my account and had accidently closed my account so I am using my friends account to contact someone that might be able to help me. Now when I try to do a password reset it says it no longer exists and I need it for xbox use. I tried creating a new account but it says email is in use. what can I do?
Why can I not overwrite the same documents on Skydrive?   

When I make changes to the same document, Skydrive automatically creates a new version of the same document, instead of letting me overwrite it and therefore just having one document.  As a result I have about five or six versions of the same document in my Skydrive folder. This can be very confusing and annoying when I want to consult that document, as it takes me a minute or two to figure out the correct version.

There should be an ability to overwrite the same document and therefore have only one version.  That would make things so much easier.

   Last autumn when I was traveling in Germany I was greatly distraught at not being able to access my *** Email address is removed for privacy *** address, which is my primary Hotmail account. What was especially alarming was that two E-mail addresses from hackers who had attacked my account in 2011 had never been deleted from the password reset link and security information, and thus I feared that codes being sent to me for regaining my account were being made accessible to hackers once again. The E-mail addresses for the hackers were *** Email address is removed for privacy *** and *** Email address is removed for privacy ***. HOW WOULD I PROCEED IN HAVING THESE TWO ADDRESSES AS WELL AS *** Email address is removed for privacy *** DELETED TO AVOID FUTURE SECURITY PROBLEMS?

 

   PLEASE ADVISE ME ON THE PROCEDURE FOR CONTACTING MICROSOFT SUPPORT AFTER THE BEGINNING OF SEPTEMBER? WILL ALL OF THE POSTINGS I HAD MADE TO THE FORUM BE DELETED IN SEPTEMBER?

 

   I AM ALSO BEING CONTACTED BY MICROSOFT FOR SECURITY INFORMATION FOR *** Email address is removed for privacy ***, WHICH, ALONG WITH *** Email address is removed for privacy ***, IS ONE OF MY ALTERNATE HOTMAIL ADDRESSES. MY HOME LANDLINE TELEPHONE NUMBER OF 301 725-1502 HAD BEEN ON FILE, AND I ELECTED TO HAVE A CODE SENT TO ME AT THAT NUMBER. I WAS USING A PUBLIC LIBRARY COMPUTER AND HAD TO RETURN HOME TO RETRIEVE THE CODE. IN THE FUTURE I WOULD PREFER TO HAVE MY ALTERNATE HOTMAIL ADDRESSES USED FOR SENDING CODES. PLEASE ADVISE ME HOW I SHOULD PROCEED.

 

   ALSO, IN THE FALL I WILL ONCE AGAIN BE OUT OF THE COUNTRY AND WILL BE ACCESSING MY E-MAIL AT PUBLIC LIBRARY COMPUTERS. WHAT MEASSURES SHOULD I TAKE TO AVOID ANY DIFFICULTY IN ACCESSING MY E-MAIL ACCOUNTS?

 

Thank you for your attention.
