Windows Live Sync users,
We sincerely apologize for the extended period of downtime yesterday. We discovered a serious problem in Windows Live Sync that could cause problems in rare cases for people who used Windows Easy Transfer. As a precaution, at 9:15 Pacific Time (UTC-7) yesterday we decided to stop allowing people to sign in to Sync until we could fix the problem. Early this morning, we released an update to Sync and began allowing people to sign in again.
The next time you use your computers that are running Sync, you’ll be prompted to update the program. This is a required update and you won’t be able to connect until you install.
If your computer was already running Windows 7 before this update, you’ll have to go to the Sync website to add your computer back to all the folders you’re syncing. We know this is a hassle and we apologize for this inconvenience. You’ll also see that your computer shows up on the Sync website with a new name—you can safely go ahead and delete the old computer from the website. Rest assured that your files and folders are safe.
We found this problem in Sync through internal testing, and although it was very rare, keeping your data safe is our highest priority. We wanted to be absolutely sure that this problem wouldn’t happen to anyone.
Thanks,
Eric Doerr

i\’m unable to use any of the windows live services like sky drive, photos, pretty much everything in the live area. all i get is a white page with hyper linked menus. pls fix this immediately. thanks.
What has happend to my mail page, it is just a big list of tons of things with email messages near the bottom which don\’t open. This is a disgusting mess.
I have given my friend permission to view my photos, so how does he get on to view them?
pourquoi avez vous fermé mon compte skydrive?????? j\’aimerai bien récupérer mes albums photos de ma famille!!! je ne comprend pas pourquoi, je vous ai déjà envoyé un message et je n\’ai toujours pas de réponse mon adresse email est far_mline@msn.com
The time date stamp on my email is always like 6 hours ahead of the time it really is. How do I fix it?
Yes I have not been able to view any of my emails for about two weeks and this is only on my work computer? it just gives me an error meesage "we can not open windows live, please try again later"? Do I need to update somenthing on my work computer? if so how do I do that?
Ok so why are u limiting the number of emails I send out? Because I might be a spammer? Come on! I FINALLY get around to checking my over 1000 emails (mostly junk) and answering my other emails to friends etc., and I get a message that I have reached my quota of emails I can send out! What the heck is this!???!!! Is this something new? Do I have to switch my email account over to like aol who doesn\’t limit the number of emails I send out?!

How do I communicate with someone from Windows Live?? I sent an email asking questions and cannot find a way to talk to a person via telephone about my problem. Can somebody call me at: 352-794-3272 or email me a telephone number to:paulann99@yahoo.com. Thank you Paul Williams
URGENT, URGENT, PLEASE CONFIRM I received an email claiming it was from the windows live team, stating that due to congestion my hotmail account would be deleted unless I confirmed personal details including my password, date of birth and country of birth. I think this is a scam and you should be on full alert.
I\’m having constant problems since you people transitioned to this "Windows Live" program… can\’t use my Outlook Express effectively – won\’t let me delete messages I don\’t want… Going to Windows Live through Window XP has numerous issues as well – it deletes my new messages even though I have not clicked to delete. I HATE WINDOWS LIVE and feel like a captive prisoner – it\’s terrible that you didn\’t give us a choice to transfer until you had worked out all the bugs… I\’m considering switching permanently to yahoo – THIS IS A NIGHTMARE

There were emails sent out with my name from my account without my knowledge to all my contacts. It was about an electric company sent from an email address similar to mine. I am running a full scan but don\’t see any problems so far. How does this happen and what can I do.

Windows Live Update will not install. I have all the current updates for Vista, yet when I download the new package, it installs, then rolls back. I have no ability to use MSN Messenger as it will not allow me to use the old version, and the new version will not install.
it has deleted all my contacts how do i get them back?
I am not feeling PC at all! I was just forced to start using the new windows live messengers which does not work. Please do not force me to use something before doing your homework.
I would like to go back to the original live messenger. I do not like the knew and how can I change it?
Well pissed off. How do I uninstall Windows Live from my mobile device (there is no uninstall option); a HTC running Win mobile 6.1? Syncing with Windows live deletes half my contacts and duplicates the other half that is remaining – i.e. one Outlook and one Messenger contact for each contact. Damn, what a useless piece of kit. This is the second time mobile Live has done this to me (how stupid am I?)!!! Never again. Syncing with Outlook is fine, but as soon as you add Win Live it screws everything up.
The update continues to hang up during install at around 61%. I unchecked all of the options and it now hangs up at 71%. I have Windows 7.0 and tons of memory. What can I do to correct this?
is snc down?
NO EN TIENDO PORQUE SE A CERRADO MI CUENTA SI LO UNICO QUE HECHO ES MANDARLE MENSAJES DE AMOR, CARIDAD, ANIMO ETC…….

The problem is still there. Everytime I try to send a link to a new photo album this message apears "Our server is having a problem. We\’re working to fix it as soon as we can, so try again in a few minutes."
it\’s time to make StEaK mixed with onion, chilly, paper, a little salt, mmmmmmmmm . . . can u smell smokes on the air . makes my stomach cryyyy . .
