Office Professional 2013: Cannot sign into Winows account through any of Suite Applications.

8/21/2013 Approx. 11:40 PM Est. -

I have Office 2013 Professional. Outlook stopped syncing. I cannot sign into windows account for syncing through any of the office suite applications (Word, Excel, Outlook...) And my Windows SkyDrive will not sync either. Error message states " We are unable to connect right now. Please check your network and try again Later." It is obvious nothing changed on my network since I am posting this right now. I did the typical to attempt fix, shutdown> restart> performed back up...nothing works. Please assist. I use outlook on my phone an I am not sure if it has been impacted.

I am now able to sync and sign in. I noticed that after being able to sign into my Windows account, the desktop application Outlook synced my aol and my exchange account; it did not sync @outlook.com account automatically. Something caused the "Work Offline" widget to toggle to the Enabled configuration. After manual disablement of the Work Offline widget, the @outlook.com account synced. I still cannot sync gmail since 1 week ago. Gmail continues to sync sporadic sets of date ranges when first adding (re-adding) gmail. The current work around is to configure Gmail to download 1 month worth of email to outlook. Any other Outlook predetermined date range will sync sets of emails that stop years or months short of current date. Any Advise on this second issue?
