I have SkyDrive on my office computer (Windows) and my home computer (Mac) to sync all of my files. It works on the Windows computer, and it also worked on my Mac until recently. I chose the settings for starting SkyDrive when I start my computer, but
now it doesn't do that anymore. When I try to open SkyDrive from my applications, the little cloud appears at the top of my computer screen only for a few seconds then disappears. It stays gray the whole time instead of turning black. When I try to click on
the symbol while it's there for a few seconds, the only options are: "Report a problem," and "Quit SkyDrive." I have tried moving the SkyDrive app to the trash, emptying the trash, restarting the computer, and then reinstalling SkyDrive, but the same problem
still occurs. I read forums that suggested this for uninstalling SkyDrive for Mac:
To remove the SkyDrive client from Mac, you first have to unlink the account associated to it then drag the SkyDrive client to "Trash." The unlink account option is in the "Preferences" window:
1. Click on the SkyDrive icon in the status bar (at the top right corner on the screen)
2. Click "Preferences..." to open the preferences window
3. Go to the "About" tab in the preferences window
4. Click "Unlink SkyDrive" at the bottom of the screen
5. A confirmation dialog will pop-up saying that your local SkyDrive folder will stop syncing with the cloud, click "Unlink SkyDrive" to confirm, then drag the SkyDrive client (installer) and folder to the "Trash."
This doesn't help me though, since SkyDrive won't work well enough to show a "Preferences" option. Does anyone have another suggestion for how to solve this problem?
