Add birthday to people App.

I don't use FB, and besides Skype, I don't want any other social media related or synced to my calendar.

It is quite appalling that even the most basic characteristics such as adding birthdays or creating manually recurring entries of the calendar, as the last Thursday of the month, 2nd Wednesday of the month, every other Monday, etc..., are still impossible in Windows 8 native applications.
When it will be available again? Windows 12?

I am considering switching back on iCloud, because not having do not these basic features is simply not acceptable.

If MSFT is scratching their heads why WP 8 is at the bottom of the pool do not win market share, it does not take a genius to understand. Please, work on improving your sub by apps and stay focused on the customer experience...

  • Why can I not add a yahoo email account to "People" app?

    I'm trying to follow the instructions to activate the application of people to see all the contacts in my mail.  but when I try to add an account, the only choices are Hotmail, Twitter, Outlook and Google, none of which I use.  Sorry, but I use Yahoo and I'm happy with it.  So, I am correct that I can't add yahoo contacts to the people?

    I created a yahoo email link in the pane on the start page email and it works, but only to see and read the mail - I can't send mails (except in typing an address) because my contact list was not imported.  It seems so if I can only use it efficiently using the browser.  Which is OK, but not what I thought was intended... Did I something wrong?
    Thank you!

  • People app can't add Twitter, Facebook adds and other fine

    Hello

    I'm at my wit's end, and I hope that someone in the Windows 8 community can help me.  Here's the context:

    I already had my application of people connected with my Facebook accounts and Twitter on my old account Live.  I created a new account to Outlook.com, proceeded to add it as a user on my PC under Windows 8 and then registered in so that I could connect my Facebook and Twitter accounts for people App.  Immediately, the connection Twitter - after clicking "Allow application" - produces an error message "Unable to connect to service" on Windows 8, but on the list of allowed applications, Windows 8 Twitter is listed.
    Facebook and others are very well connected.
    I have tried several things to get Twitter to connect, including:

    -Deletion of all my apps connected both my old account Live AND my new Outlook.com account and then add just my while Outlook.com account that logged on to Windows.
    -Repair of the MetroUI
    -Uninstalling and then re-installing People, mail, calendar, etc apps.
    -Back to zero (not just refreshing) my installation of Windows 8
    ... and nothing seems to work.  I keep trying to add my Twitter account without success - I get prompt approval, connected to Twitter, click "allow" and then redirected to an error message "Unable to connect to the service" Windows 8 - but Twitter shows that approval has been granted.
    Does anyone have any ideas or experience with this problem?  Everything that I might be able to do to solve this problem?  It is a new installation of Windows 8 Pro with NO other apps installed.
    Thank you very much

    I just want to close the loop on that and let people know a workaround on how I managed to solve this problem.  First of all, until I do it, I just want to thank Microsoft Support to work with me on this subject for more than three hours on the phone before concluding that the problem was entirely at the end of Twitter.  In short, it is a known problem with a small subset of Twitter accounts and only Twitter can really solve this solution in "resetting" your account.

    Second, it must be clear that the problem is corrupt the credentials of the API from your Twitter account, which cannot be interpreted by the shell of Microsoft Services.
    I corrected it as follows:
    1 has created a new Twitter account.
    2 changed my Twitter handle on my old Twitter account to a placeholder.
    3. to change the name on my new Twitter account to the previous name, which was my old Twitter account.
    4 connected the new Twitter account to my Microsoft Services.
    5. related former Twitter account, on behalf of the placeholder, Microsoft Services.
    6 unplug the two Twitter accounts.
    7 rename the new Twitter account to another name, that you don't care, in order to free the name that you care.
    8 retrieve the former name of Twitter (original) with your original Twitter account.
    9. connect the original Twitter account to the Microsoft Services.
    And in fact.  This approach above worked for me; I don't know if the reset user name changes or refresh the Twitter API key assigned to an individual account, but I was finally able to connect the accounts after that I had made the change of name.
    Good luck!

  • people app rt of surface

    I have three questions with the people app.

    1. the app shows that my Microsoft and Skype accounts are added to the application. However, it seems that only my Skype contacts are there, when I try to add my Hotmail account, it is said that the account has already been added.

    2, I have READ THAT, you can send an email directly from the app people however when I select a contact even with a mail address it doe not give me that option.

    3. when sending an email from the mail application and try to get a contact address I select + sent me the application of people, but it said that its empty and does not show me the contacts that appear when I open the application directly from the icon.

    I would appreciate if someone can give me some advice in how to solve these problems. TKS in advance

    Hello line,

    You can try this: uninstall your e-mail application by touch for a second or two and then slightly swipe down - this puts a check mark on the tile and brings up a bar at the bottom of the page. The bar select uninstall, it will uninstall Mail, calendar, e-mail, and people (they are grouped). After that they uninstall make appear your charms and tap Settings, tap the start icon and select restart.

    Sign in the Surface, go to the store and reinstall Mail, this will reinstall Mail, calendar, e-mail, and people. When they are resettled first go to people (not Mail). If you use your Hotmail account as the Microsoft account to connect to the Surface, he should automatically be implemented, if not add it.

    When you add your Hotmail account to one of the four bundled applications it is automatically implemented in all four.

    I hope that this will solve the problem you're having with the app people.

  • How to load images in the 'People' app that has all my contacts and a lot of white sillouettes. Very frustrating! Rodcliff

    I tried every way I can think to get photos in this app and all the photos that I need are on the same computer, in 'Photos' photography only in that I can put my own photo account. None of the settings or the app command bar downstairs offer me the option. I'm stuck.

    Hello

    Thanks for posting your question on the Forums of community of Microsoft. We are here to help you with all your Windows questions or issues.

    You mentioned that you are unable to load the photos to the App to people with all your contacts in it and it is showing a white figure some of these contacts.

    What exactly are you trying to do? You try to set pictures to your contacts, showing the white figure?

    If you try to put photos of your contacts, showing the white figure in the people App, then I'm sorry to inform you that this can be done with the people App. This is because; the people App does not work like the other application to management of Contact where the contacts are stored in a local file on the computer. In People Soft, contacts are not saved to a local file. It is linked with the online account of that special person that you added to the App people.

    For example, if you add your Facebook account to the people App, all contacts that it will be shown in the people App, but they are not saved locally. It is just linked to your Facebook account. Thus, the image of a particular contact will change unless the account holder he spends his account.

  • Windows 8 people app does not connect to my Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn

    My app Windows 8 people will not connect on my Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn (all the social networks I joined).

    Details:

    Try to connect within the people app, and there are no errors, just get a synchronization «...» ", but nothing happens

    My login account is my hotmail, not the local account account

    My wife has a separate profile (also hotmail) and has no problem with the integration of the people/Social site

    Performed troubleshooting:

    Removed all accounts linked and added the

    Uninstalled/reinstalled people (and all associated applications) (after you have reinstalled the application, that it has been connected for about 5 minutes.)

    account type changed to level local and back to hotmail

    I bought this OS mainly for this function, if it does not work I need to talk to a refund (I'm willing to help out and try the suggestions, but it must work or go...)?

    It seems to have solved the problem...

    I removed all the social sites linked from my profile and the value of my account at the local level.  Then add a new user using my Hotmail address.  Connected, add accounts to my profile and people connects now to them!  Now, I just hope it remains connected...

  • People App "your password changed. Sign in with your new password'.

    I cannot synchronize the application 'People' in Windows 8. Whenever I start the application it synchronize for a second and then tell me "your password changed. Sign in with your new password'. I have not changed my password at all and it won't connect or sync with anything. Any ideas or anyone who deals with this problem? I tried to change the settings, uninstall and more but no luck.

    I had the same questions as everyone else ("your password was changed... ("error, only Microsoft app listed, adding Facebook didn't work, etc..).  I also used an e-mail provider.

    I tried to switch to a local account, restart and return to a Microsoft account.  It worked!  Microsoft and Skype both appeared in the people app immediately (Skype was not there before, but I had already installed the app) and I was able to add Facebook without problem.

    After the switch to a Microsoft account, I got a text asking to confirm my PC with a code.  I followed the instructions and did.  I have no idea if it was part of the original or not problem.

I have a lot of contacts in Outlook, and this account (my main account from Microsoft) appears under 'accounts' in the settings. When I opened this account however, it shows that E-mail as content to synchronize. I created an outlook.com account and added that the people app, and when I check the settings for that one, it shows emails, contacts and calendar as "content to synchronize. I've also added my Google gmail account and my Skype account, but the contacts of those who do not appear either. Under 'options' Google, Outlook and Skype are checked in 'display only those contacts '. On the homescreen in the lower right corner, it says that I'm connected to 2 accounts outlook, Skype, and Google. I tried to turn it back on the shelf, the people app and outlook without result.
