outlook 2013 will not display contacts or calendar that shows up in people and calendar apps from windows 8.1

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

I am using windows 8.1 pro and outlook 2013.  the mail app and people app are showing my contacts and emails auto-fill the correct way. Outlook 2013 on the desktop is not showing any contacts in address book. The above mentioned check box is clicked. My email for the mail app and outlook and people are all the same. I just loaded the. Windows 8.1 and the computer is new and all windows updates are recent.


Why won't outlook 2013 pull in my people contacts and the calendar from the Microsoft windows 8.1 pro calendar app?


Neither are pulling into the outlook 2013???  this is incredibly annoying. All my emails are synced but my contacts and calendars are blank in outlook.


Please fix and tell me how.

Windows Live Mail Problem is Back

11. November 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: ,
I previously posted my issues with Windows Live Mail (http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windowslive/forum/livemail-program/windows-live-mail-2012-not-working-for-2-days-can/a091d06e-ad2d-4ec3-92c4-8f9d7b736ac4)

After a new hard drive was installed and Windows was completely reinstalled, Windows Live Mail worked for about 1 day. Then, after some Windows Updates installed, it stopped working again.

I can't help but think that this is related to a Windows update, but, since no one else seems to be having the same issue, I am mystified.

Specific issues include:
1.  Clicking on the sign in icon causes the box to pop up, but it is empty. (ie, no username and password boxes, etc.)
2.  I monitor 6 email accounts. Clicking on an account in the left sidebar does not lead to that account showing up in the main panel. (Sometimes nothing happens, sometimes I get another random account instead.)
3.  The dropdown arrows on the left panel do not open/close the individual email accounts so that I can see/hide the folders within each account.
4.  Send/receive does work, but if I read and delete a message, it does not decrease the unread message count.

Before my hard drive installation, I uninstalled and reinstalled WLM more times than I can count.

Does anyone have any ideas how I can make this work? I really like WLM, but if I can't get it working within the next few days, I'm going to have to try something else.

online but fails to sync after resume

Hi,

 

I am using Skydrive the desktop client on a Windows 8 tablet (Samsung 500T).  The skydrive client appears to be connected and reports my local skydrive folder is up to date yet it does not sync new changes unless I exit and restart the desktop client.  It appears to happen after Windows 8 resumes.  All internet and other applications work fine.  The skydrive client will appear as if it is connected and monitoring changes but it is not.  This has gone on for quite a while now and now I always exit/restart every time I resume when I know it is out of sync.

 

The desktop client used to work fine.  I can't say what has changed other than new Windows updates.  I don't know if skydrive client has updated recently either.

 

What can I do to assist in figuring out the problem.

windows live mail won’t start

06. August 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: , ,
HI. Pulling my hair out here.
Windows Live Mail (v11) suddenly refused to open, after working fine for over a year. It just sits at the opening screen with the circle and says starting. In task manager, wlmail.exe is open under processes, but not under applications. Have tried the following:

• set mail to offline in IE
• went to control panel and fixed Live Essentials and rebooted.
• removed all messages from the mail folder
• updated all Windows updates
• installed Live Mail 2012
• fixed Live Essentials again
• MS checked authencity etc - all ok
• ran fixkey.reg as per one of your support pages
• fixed live essential again
• Switched off the router and tried offline.... the same
Still would not open from my workplace, but it did open when I was home (no internet/network at home).
• then copied mail back and it would not open again
• fixed live essentials again
STILL WILL NOT OPEN

WHAT MORE CAN I DO ..... PLEEEEEEEEZE???

SkyDrive (native to Windows *) does not sync

05. August 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: , ,

After hours of work, SkyDrive does not sync.

 

I've reinstalled it completely many times.

I've applied all known Windows updates.

I've emptied my SkyDrive multiple times and gotten all my docs in SkyDrive.

I've restarted my computer.

I've restarted SkyDrive.

I've forwarded log files to Microsoft.

I've done everything recommended by Microsoft except making changes to the registry. 

 

SkyDrive won't sync existing or new files. 

 

 

Windows Live Mail – Catagory bug

18. July 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: , , ,

I am running windows 7 Premium version 6.1 *Build 7601: Service Pack 1),

and use Windows live as my email tool: Windows Live Mail Version 16.4.3508.0205 *

I have downloaded the latest windows essentials,

I am current on all  Windows updates

 

My PC:

2.40 gigahertz AMD Phenom 9750 Quad-Core

8192 Megabytes Installed Memory

NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT [Display adapter]

ST375063 0AS SCSI Disk Device (750.15 GB)

 

 

I have several hundred contacts, so I have set up categories. 

 

 

I use my Hotmail as my mail email default program, though, I do have other email accounts in Widows Live:

 

I have found that the category tool does not work the same each time I log on. when I add my category to my email TO:  box and hit the "+" sign, I get only a few, the first 8 to 10 names in my category ( my category has 48 names) 

If I reboot, and then I find that it only shows the last 8-10  of 48 names in my category, different than the first time I logged in?

 

When I  check the contact list the category shows all 48 names.

 

I have read thru all the comments in your forum and I do not seem to be alone in this issue.

 

I have also tried your suggestions of uninstalling, and reinstalling the Windows Live tool, as well as using the "repair" process in the uninstall/Change box in Control Panel.

 

I have also found that if I use the Admin, Task manager, and shut down windows live, on occasion, it will resolve the issue, but only for a little while.

 

I use this as a business tool, and am very frustrated, this seems to be getting worse, not better.

 

 

Thanks for any help

David

Cannot install Windows Live Essentials 2012 – Error 0x80040c2a

17. April 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: , , ,

I installed on my desktop and noticed the version was different on my laptop. so uninstalled on the laptop.  Have made several attempts to install and never got as far as being able to select which items I wanted to install.

 

This is Windows 7 Pro x64, it's my work laptop so I can't go do Windows Update with it, but I couldn't when I installed the previous version.  It's almost up-to-date with Windows updates.

 

There wasn't a Windows Live folder in c:\program files, or c:\program files\common files, I did remove the various Windows Live folders in the appdata folder.

 

The error was 0x80040c2a 'WaitForCatalog'.  No problems downloading other things this morning - Internet seems quite zippy.

 

Frustrated, off to see if an altenative IMAP client exists.
