SkyDrive, Office 365, and Windows 8 with different user names

A few months I bought Office 365, put him on a victory. 7 computers and Office Open using a Gmail account for my user ID (do not have a live account). Office / Skydrive works very well. Just bought a new victory. laptop 8 and open a real account to connect to the new laptop. The Live username is my login Win 8. The skydrive on the default values of portable Win 8 new a account linked to the new Live user name empty Skydrive. How can I get the new victory. 8 portable by default to the original Skydrive with gmail (many docs in this Skydrive) username?  I am looking for a long term solution. Should I "Rename" the account Office 365 for the new Live account? Can I use the login gmail as my victory. Sign in now and all the future widows editions years on the road? Thanks a lot for your help!

If you use your ID gmail to access skydrive, it's already your microsoft account.  (a microsoft account is not linked to a particular area such as outlook.com, hotmail.com or live.com).  your @gmail.com can also be your microsoft account.

That said, you can use your id gmail for everything (the computer connection, skydrive account) and stop using the new microsoft account, you just created, or you can set up skydrive just to use your gmail account and continue logging in to your computer with the new microsoft account.

to activate the skydrive account, launch skydrive, reveal the charms bar (move the mouse to the lower right), click settings, click options, and then click the logout button.  next time you start skydrive, you will be asked to log in.  Sign in with your gmail id and your password.

  • Time machine access after a clean installation with different user name

    Hello

    I did a clean install upgrade to El Capitan in Yosemite. I chose a user name. How can I connect my new account to the old Time Machine?

    thx for your help

    Time Machine, please press the shift-command-C key combination. The windshield will show the mounted volumes. All snapshots should now be accessible. Select the one you want and search for files to restore.

    If you need to restore from a backup of the hidden user library folder, first select a snapshot, and then press shift-command-G. A go to the folder dialog box opens. In this document, you enter the path to the folder. The dialog box will help you by automatically filling parts of the path when you start typing.

    The path starts with the slash character ("/"). Enter that. The rest of the parts is separated by slashes.

    The next part is the date and time of the current snapshot. Enter a '2', and the rest of the date should be filled in automatically. Press the right arrow key to access the end of the path. Enter a slash to start the next game.

    Next is the volume name (usually "Macintosh HD" unless you assigned a different name.) Start typing, then jump to the end and enter a slash.

    The next part is 'Users', followed by a slash.

    Then is your short user name. It is also the name of your home folder, which is represented by an icon of the House in the sidebar of a Finder window.

    Finally, enter "Library", and then press return. You should now be in the library folder. From there, you can move like in the Finder. You can also select another snapshot of the same folder.

  • installed Office 365 on windows 7

    I installed Office 365 on my Windows 7 computer

    Now I opened Excel, create a new workbook and I do what I've always done, nothing more and nothing less.

    After changes to the workbook and other tasks, I close and save the workbook in my documents directory.

    Next time you start my machine, I go to my documents and locate the Excel file and double-click it to open it... so... nothing happens...

    All my files created with my new Office 365 are default opening with Office XML Handler...

    What happens?, could someone help me?

    Thank you

    Post proposed by the facilitator for the appropriate forum placed

    Looks like you've got your files incorrectly associated with the XML Manager.  To check, you are able to open your files correctly if you open Excel first and then use the "open" command to find and open the document inside the Excel already running?

    If Yes, then you can solve this easily.  Simply exit Excel, go to your Documents folder and find your last used Excel file.  Right click, choose "Open with" and choose "Excel" as an option.

  • 'The specified network folder is currently mapped using a different user name and password'.

    "The specified network folder is currently mapped using a.

    Connect using a different user name and password
    First, disconnect any existing mappings to this network
    share '.
    I got this message when trying to access a laptop on my home network. It's a laptop which came for years. The only change that occurred was the removal of a few videos to Windows Media Player. In fact, I was sitting near the laptop (laptop 1) that stores the video & audio files that I share on my network for years and an additional (cell 2) laptop computer on my network. I was simply remove a playlist via WMP and I witnessed portable 2 lose access to files I had shared for years with my home network. I don't even use WMP, I had just open trying to access the laptop 1 video/audio files to my PS3 system. I was clear an old list of video of WMP so I could add the extra avi files to the list that I had collected over the years. I wanted to not double many videos so I removed the videos in WMP list. Since then, I'm not able to share anything of my laptop 1 to the rest of my network. I did not like WMP before, now I really despise WMP. When I try to share a folder, right click, share with & click on homegroup (read/write), the option is not selected. Any solution would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

    Hello

  • "The specified network folder is currently mapped using a different user name and password", trying to connect to a remote drive.

    Original title: the specified network folder is currently mapped using a different user name and password.__To to connect using a different user name and password, first disconnect any existing mappings to this network share.

    I am trying to connect to a remote drive. I clicked to map the drive, entered the name of the drive, came the name of login/password for the computer turns on and then it give me this error message: the specified network folder is currently mapped using a different user name and password. To connect using a different user name and password, first disconnect any existing mappings to this network share.

    In Windows 7 Enterprise, I would like to point out that, if you map \\server1\share1 as drive letter X using "user1" and "password1", then try to map \\server1\share2 (a different share) as drive letter Y using the same ID "User1" and "password1" and you select 'connect using different credentials' in the dialog box connect a network drive and specify the id "User1" and "password1". you will get this error MESSAGE INCORRECT that says 'the specified network folder is currently mapped using a different user name and password'.

    The message is bad because:

    1. the specified network (action2 in my example) folder is not mapped at all, and

    2. the server (in my example, "server1") is already mapped (to a different and different drive letter share) using the SAME user name and password.

    The error message is wrong in two respects.

    This let me puzzled for a while until I realized that once you have mapped to 'Server1' using the credentials, you can map to different actions on the same server without re - specify the credentials.  It is NOT CLEARLY the 'Map network drives' dialog box, which leads to users (like me, and I'm a programmer by trade) trying to enter credentials again and this incorrect error message.
