sin saber q la cuenta de hotmail era la misma para xbox live de microsoft, edite mi cuenta de xbox y cambie toda la informacion, asi q perdi todo acceso a mi cuenta q tenia de hotmail, como hago para recuperar mis correos que ahi tengo, me son muy importantes.
I just received an email claiming to be from Microsoft saying there is a the new agreement that users should read.  If I continue to use hotmail, supposedly I automatically agree to the new terms.  There is a hotlink in the email that supposedly leads to the new agreement.  Is this a legitimate email from Microsoft?  I am hesitant to click on anything in an email due to all the phishing schemes out there.
I received a text message proporting to be Microsoft giving me a password reset 7 digit code.   I also received a "Twitter" reset request in my hotmail account. Since I never requested a password reset and do not have a twitter account, what is going on?

AFTER VERIFICATION,A MESSAGE WILL BE SENT TO YOU AFTER WHICH YOU ARE ADVISED TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORD IMMEDIATELY
I have just read the changes to the Microsoft Services Agreement.  I only have a Hotmail account and occasionally use Bing.  Does this mean I have a services agreement?  I don't recall signing anything when I originally signed up for Hotmail.  Is my user name and password for Hotmail the user name and password for Microsoft?  I appreciate any input.  Thank you.

I have a question about the new Microsoft Services Agreement in October 2012:

 

"The Microsoft branded services require that you sign into your Microsoft account periodically, at a minimum every 270 days, to keep the Microsoft branded services portion of the services active, unless provided otherwise in an offer for a paid portion of the services. If you fail to sign in during this period, we may cancel your access to the Microsoft branded services. If the Microsoft branded services are canceled due to your failure to sign in, your data may be permanently deleted from our servers."

Does Windows Live Mail do this for me automatically (sign me in)  when I download and read my mail offline?  Or, do I have to actually sign-in with my username and password occasionally?

 

Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 - upgrade and install problems
I downloaded and installed the Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 Trial Version (which worked fine). 
After my trial was up I upgraded to Office for Mac University 2011, while the apps worked fine the main dictionary disappeared from Word Excel etc so spelling errors were not picked up. When I checked the spelling options the "Hide spelling options" checkbox was ticked and greyed out

I followed the instructions in the post "Dictionary/Spell Checker Issue" post, however when I reinstalled Office for Mac University 2011 (without uninstalling office first) I had a number of errors when opening documents. E.g:
- excel: the file could not be accessed 
- outlook: could not change to that identity an unknown error has occurred in outlook

Obviously I should have removed Office for Mac University 2011 before the new install but this was not stated in the article.  Below are some links on removing and reinstalling  office for Mac 2011. Do not do a "complete removal" unless you want to loose all your identity data (eg outlook emails)

I then removed Office for Mac University 2011 per instructions below and reinstalled. After this my Word Excel and Powerpoint worked fine but my Outlook would not open and I got following outlook errors:
- could not change to that identity an unknown error has occurred in outlook
Identity could not open with this version of Outlook for Mac
 After several installs I found a useful site that resolved problem by providing instructions for upgrading  Office 2011 to Service Pack 2 (SP2), I can't recall the site but to do this you simply open Word Excel or another office app that does not have errors, then click "Help" then "Check for Updates". Once the new update SP2 update had been installed my outlook problems disappeared and I had full access to my Outlook identity, archives and emails

  1. In the Finder, under Devices, click the hard disk where Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 is installed.

  2. Open the Applications folder, and then drag the Microsoft Office 2011 folder to the Trash.

  3. Close the Applications folder, open the Library folder, and then drag the following files to the Trash.

    • Internet Plug-Ins/SharePointBrowserPlugin.plugin

    • Internet Plug-Ins/SharePointWebKitPlugin.plugin

    • LaunchDaemons/com.microsoft.office.licensing.helper.plist

    • PrivilegedHelperTools/com.microsoft.office.licensing.helper

    Note  In Snow Leopard, you also have to delete all Office 2011 receipts in /private/var/db/receipts/. (Snow Leopard moved receipts into this hidden directory, only available by “Go to Folder” in the Finder, or from the command terminal.)
  4. On the Finder menu, click Empty Trash.

  5. Restart your computer.

  6. Install Office for Mac again.

How to completely remove Office for Mac 2011   Article ID: 2398768   - Dont do this unless absolutely necessary as can delete all your identity data and email 
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2398768 

I installed the 14.2.3 Office update.  It installed fine and is running without error.  However, when I check my console, I am getting a regular error posting from 'com.microsoft.SyncServicesAgent' claiming that the file it is trying to use isn't found.  That is correct because it is trying to use a test identity I created while trying to undo a failed installation Office 14.2.0, I have checked .plist files and can find no place where this identity is listed.

How can I get SyncServices to stop looking for this identity?
