I have two PC's running Windows 8.1 Preview that are both having these two problems:
1. Aren't syncing their IE11 favorites and favorites sort order.
2. Stuck syncing the same files with Skydrive. Opening the modern Skydrive app shows the same files in the queue have all been "pending" for the last several days.
I reset all trusted devices on my account and then retrusted both PCs and still have these issues, so I then ran the Microsoft Account troubleshooter and it found these problems with the first PC:
I don't know what the first two errors mean, but the third one is probably because I disabled the Desktop personalization syncing.
I then ran the troubleshooter on PC 2 and got this midway through:
I opened the store (which opened normally) and waited several minutes but nothing happened. So I hit Next on the troubleshooter and it finished with these errors:
Again, I don't know what the first two errors mean, but the third one is probably because I disabled the Desktop personalization syncing.
My SkyDrive is stuck. I copied about 800 files to my SkyDrive folder. The sync started ok and I let it run all night, but was not even one-half done. I have tried reinstalling SkyDrive (now I have multiple SkyDrive program install folders), tired unlinking, and nothing seems to work. I either get the an endless status of "Processing changes" or "Downloading 2.8 MB of 2.1 GB, 679 files remaining."
I am not sure what else to try? There are 679 files in various directories that have the blue unsync tag--really too many to try and move out of the sync queue. I did try to upload several of those files with the web interface--they did upload successfully, but were not downloaded to the local SkyDrive folder.
When I try to uninstall SkyDrive from the control panel, I get a warning message that SkyDrive has already been uninstalled and do I want to remove it from the list--so not sure I am getting a complete uninstall.
The files are all iPhone JPM or MOV files.
Thanks for any help.

Photos from my Windows Phone 8 include GPS info when uploaded to SkyDrive. I would like to remove it from some. Is there a way to do that? I can't edit the exif data through windows explorer in Windows 8 because of security restrictions and I see no options in SkyDrive around this.
Even public links include the GPS info in their exif data despite not showing the bing maps link. For example, view the original of this photo:

If you download that file and view the properties in windows explorer, you can see that the lat and lon are still included as shown here:
