Keep Skydrive in sync between Bootcamp partitions

13. November 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Uncategorized · Tags: ,
Hello.

I am a mac user with Windows 8 installed via Bootcamp.

I want to be able to use Skydrive between both my OSX and Windows 8 systems.

For that purpose, I created a 3rd partition on my internal HDD, in exFAT format, to store the Skydrive folder.

It works just fine in OSX. The files sync and all is good.

I can also access the files from the Windows 8 system. But the files don't sync.

So the problem is the following:

How do I sync my Skydrive with the Skydrive folder on my exFAT partition when under Windows 8?

Under OSX, I would simply tell the Skydrive app to look for the files on the exFAT partition.

But I don't find the equivalent option here.

Should I change the location (right click on the skydrive app)?

I want the older version of Windows Live Mail on my new Win 8 laptop is this possible?

I can't stand the stripped down version of Mail on Windows 8. I really hate Outlook.com even more. Windows Live Mail was a perfect option for me and others of my generation.

I really liked using Windows Live Mail on my Windows 7 laptop. When I purchased my Windows 8 laptop I tried to download Windows Live Essentials on it and got a message already downloaded, but I can't find it when I search apps. Is this referring to Mail already on the Windows 8 system. YUK!

Advice please!

Windows 8 Phone and Outlook.com duplicates entries in calendar and contacts

16. September 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: ,
Hi,

I am having problems with my Windows 8 Phone (HTC 8X) and Outlook.com. There are like 7 to 10 duplicate entries in Calendar and Contacts. I had this problem before and I solved it just deleting the duplicates. The problem is back. I can't do this every time. There is definitely a bug in Windows 8 Phone or Outlook.com. Can somebody help to fix this problem?

Thank you,

Original title: Live Mail Problem on Windows 8

 

I'm using Windows Live Mail on my computer that is running Windows 8; because, I like it better than the mail app that comes with Windows 8.  While most of my emails show up, I don't receive all of my emails.  However, the missing emails do show up on the Windows 8 mail app.  How do I fix this?
