Can you use the same Microsot Account on both a PC and a laptop?
I am asking because I can sign into my PC and my account via a web browser but i can't sign into my account on my laptop. It keeps saying I have entered an incorrect password and has locked me out.
I have always loved Microsoft...not so happy atm... I was happy with hotmail on my iPhone. I logged on to my microsoft windows 7 laptop and changed from my wonderful HOTMAIL to OUTLOOK. I thought - ok - i need to update my iphone settings/mail
wtih this new password. UGHHH... I was unable no matter what to get into it on the Iphone 4S. After internet searches, i deleted hotmail on my phone and re-entered info several times. Still say username/password issues... After giving up, days later, i
saw a post to access on safari. I did that. no luck. Then FINALLY, yesterday, i was able to get to my hotmail on Safari - they finally gave me those stupid letters/numbers in a combo and format i could actually read - sorry i am over 50 - and yes! I was
into email/hotmail now outllook on Safari. I could not access email - mind you - it brought me to the account settings and for the life of me i saw no where to click to get to mail. So i thought...let's change the settings on email on the phone and YES!!!
i got into email on my iphone through the mail icon, not safari. So i THOUGHT all was good until i went to my laptop. When i input the username and password i had JUST CREATED AND HAD FUNCTION ON MY PHONE....... now i get the same error on the laptop!!!!
it says: "That password is incorrect. Be sure you're using the password for your Microsoft account." HELP!!!!!!!!!! do i have to make a new password everytime i access on one device and go to another!!!???? HELP!!!! very frustrated..

I bought the university edition of office last month and I downloaded it onto my desktop. I know would like to download it on my laptop being that I am going to be traveling and will need my laptop to do school work. As I was trying to download it onto
my laptop today, I went to sign into to my office account, it is say it doesn't exist. So, I even tried going to go and create a new account, where there it told me that my email address was already in use. I still cannot access it, what do I need to do?
Skydrive suddenly stopped working today on my Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop - windows 8. It is still working on my Surface Pro. I get the message "couldn't find your skydrive folder" on my laptop but the local Skydrive folder is still there. Skydrive website
states that it cannot connect to my PC - laptop. When I click on reconfigure skydrive from the couldn't find folder message box there is a brief response. The skydrive icon appears for about 1 second on the task bar and then disappears. If I click on my laptop
skydrive folder, the items lose their syncing status icons and become normal folders without green ticks. I cannot restart from the skydrive icon in the task bar as advised as it is not visible anywhere except for the 1 second after clicking on the reconfigure
button. I have both windows 8 and desktop apps for Skydrive installed on my laptop. The desktop version takes me to my skydrive folder and triggers the above error message.
I have added a test file to my local skydrive folder on my laptop. It has not been synced to the cloud so the sync has clearly stopped working with my PC.
Restarting the PC makes no difference. Please help.
This was a problem about 6 months ago when I started using Outlook.com. I would have some emails not sync as being read on my iphone, when read on my laptop. I posted about this and a short time later it was all working great and has done so for about 6 months. Now in the last few days all of a sudden I'm getting emails not showing read on my phone after reading on my laptop again. It's not all of them , just every so often not syncing.
This is just annoying and the reason I love exchange sync is not having to go through things twice.
I'm using IOS native email on iphone 5, and WLM on laptop
Thanks

I have a HP desktop using Windows 7 and Asus laptop using Windows 8, both on the same Microsoft account. They were working just fine until a few weeks ago when I was primarily using the laptop. When I returned to the desktop the changed files only showed the old version.
Other than possibly adding a new folder, I have not done anything different. I routinely save files that I expect to use on both computers to the SkyDrive.
I did not install the SkyDrive, it had been on my desktop for sometime. When I purchased the Asus recently with Windows 8, I now had 2 computers and found it tremendously helpful to be able to work on files on both computes. This worked fine until several weeks ago. I use Outlook on both computers.
I am not sure which version is on either computer.
I recently got a new laptop, and with this laptop I had to make an MSN account. So I did. I'm trying to add a friend that has an MSN account as well so we can IM each other and neither of us are able to accept the friend request. Help??? This was so much
simpler before outlook. Microsoft Messenger came with home and office package for Mac!
As mentioned above.
Since I bought my Ipad. If I set password using Ipad I can not access my email through laptop and vice versa. If I reset password on lap top then Ipad does not recognise and accept new password. Can anyone advise? This has stopped me from using icloud
and other related accounts that I need passwords
I would like to be able to sync the mail accounts and contents on my desktop with my laptop. My primary interest is the mail, but contacts would be useful too.
I use Windows Live Mail on my desktop (OS Win 8) and on my laptop (OS Win7). I normally do all my work on the desktop, but use the laptop when traveling. My mail is primarily POP3 mail through my ISP, but I also have a separate POP3 mail account on a different server. I download all messages to my hard drive. [I do not care for web mail.]
Before traveling, I would like to be able to sync all the messages (in all the accounts) on my desktop (at least the Inbox, Sent, and the many archive folders) with my laptop. Then, when I return from a trip, do the reverse and sync those same Windows Live Mail folders with my desk top.
Note: I currently just have my laptop set to leave the messages on the server so I can download them to my desktop when I return from travel. That works, but means I do not have access to archive messages on my desktop while traveling and have to re-download, read, and delete the messages I reviewed on the road. In addition, I do not have a copy of the messages I sent from my laptop on my desktop. Continuity is all out of whack.
Is there some reasonably easy method of doing this? The two computers can communicate with each other over my home network.
Aside from the above, but related, my wife's mail is in Outlook Express on her desktop (OS XP) and I have her accounts on my laptop in Windows Live Mail so she can do her e-mail while we are traveling. Is there any way to do the same with her mail as I asked above? Her computer is also in our home network.
Thanks.
