• Cannot create a Microsoft account (already exists) and cannot use it (does not exist or is not available)

  Hello
  I need help - I installed Windows 8 Pro and I create a Microsoft account using my personal address (not a Windows Live) everything was fine and then I had a problem with the approval of the account and I made the decision to reinstall everything.

  When installing Windows 8 Pro back, I'm not able to create a Microsoft account because it says already exist and when I try to connect using it does not exist or not available, I used a local account and it works very well and also a new account from Microsoft and it works fine.

  The problem is that I am not able to use my official address as a Microsoft Account

  Could you please help me.

  Thank you

• Need to create separate Microsoft accounts for each user on Skype?

  We have a laptop family with a single connection from Windows, and we Skype to instsalled office. My husband and I have our own Skype accounts, and we've been able to connect to these separate accounts (not at the same time, but that's fine). Today, I opened Skype, and the interface was changed. I got my husband to open my session, but he said that I need to create a second account from Microsoft to connect under another user of Skype. I don't want a new account from Microsoft. I have enough accounts of various kinds, and I want a unique Windows connection for this laptop. I want different users of a Windows account to connect to Skype with Skype accounts that we already have in place. How to do this?

  I think I found my problem. I reinstalled Skype and realized that what I was watching was a Skype app, I had not seen before and not the Skype for the desktop application. I am connected to Skype for Windows under my own account.

  Sorry for jumping the gun and thank you to all of you who have been thinking about this issue.

• Error on the Surface RT when creating a Microsoft account

  When you create a Microsoft on Surface RT account, I get this message

  "someone tried to register for a Microsoft account on this pc too many times in a day - please try again tomorrow."

  Hi Anthony,.

  Creation of 3 Microsoft Accounts on one device, it is what is allowed for 24 hours. You should try after 24 hours. Someone would have created 3 accounts before you tried to create one, so you have been presented with this error message.

  Good day!

Change password etc. After several attempts can usually be connected but so annoying - try again now after 50 minutes. You have to go on another computer (apple!). What is going on. I want more convenience

  Hello

  I'm sorry to know that you can not connect to the computer. Let me try and help you with this problem.

  (1) you have an active network connected to the PC?

  (2) did you do with the last changes made to your computer before this problem started?

  (3) are you able to connect to Microsoft online account? https://account.live.com/

  (4) using an Internet connection wired or wireless?

  This happens usually if there is a network connection problem or it could be a temporary problem.
  
  First, if you are a using a wireless connection, please connect your PC to a wired connection and check if you are able to connect.
  If this does not help, you can reset the password and check that helps. You can connect to the Microsoft website https://login.live.com/ account and reset the password, and then check.

  Let us know the result. If you have any other questions, we will be happy to help you.

• How to find the name of Microsoft Account of Skype contact?

  Hello

  I would like to move some of my business contacts to Lync 2013 which basically supports adding Skype contacts, but he needs the Microsoft Account of this contact. How can I know the Microsoft Account a person in my Skype contacts list? I'm sure that one or other of the people on the list has decided to use his Account MS to connect to Skype, but when I open the page of profile suspects with the help of this option , I see not their Skype name.

  Thanks for your help

  As far as I know, the only option to add Skype contacts to Lync is using their email address. This must be the same address that contacts were used to create the Microsoft account.

  This e-mail address is not in their profile, so you'll need to ask them to provide you with this address.

  Also, Skype users will only see their Lync contacts when connected with its account of Microsoft. Lync contacts will not appear when you are signed in with the Skype name.

• I put a Microsoft account today on my laptop and now it locked me.

  I created a microsoft account on my laptop because it said I had to do to access Skype.  Now my laptop is asking for the password is not being accepted!  I have reset my password several times on another computer, but it made no difference.   It has my e-mail address and a box for the password and a blue screen and that's it?  Why I can not connect on?  It is not just or fair.  I am a novice and need to use my laptop looking for a job.

  Help, please.

  You have enabled authentication step 2?

  I suspect what happens is that you use always the global account password and not the built application password.  You will always get mail until you connect the device (which is a good idea in any case) and then you'll need generate a password (on the pc in outlook.com) and 'trust' of the mobile device. After what he should not do that.

  You must open a session and go here https://account.live.com/securityprivacy/overview to do.

  Alternatively, you can install the outlook application, so whenever you need an "access code", you can approve it directly on the mobile device.

• How to register the keys Windows and Office product for my Microsoft Account online

  Hi all

  I would like to ask for help about how I could save my licenses of Microsoft products to my Microsoft account online.  Recently, I created my Microsoft account and a friend told me that I can save all my keys/licenses so that in all cases that I lose my physical copies of the product (stickers) keys or the media(DVD's), I can just connect to my microsoft account and I can recover product keys and download the installers.

  The license of Windows 7 that I have on my laptop has been activated online already but I can remember, I have not 'save' in respect of accounts online from microsoft yet.  I also recently bought MS Office 2013 retail at a local store but I have not installed/activated it yet, it is also one of the several licenses MS I want to register all in my MS online account so I can easily view, retrieve the product keys and download installers if and when I need them.

  I'd appreciate any help that the community can provide since, after contacting the technical support of Microsoft chat a few times, the cat riddiculous officers could not understand my concerns and simply refer me to a link to the microsoft store and cut the conversations.

  If you guys need any clarification please let me know if I can give you more details.

  Thank you and hoping for an answer soon.

  If you purchased your licenses at retail, simply write down and store the product at a key in a safe place. You can create a text file and send it to yourself.

• Need to change the username on the microsoft account

  last year, I used my email to set up an account to Microsoft for laptop of my daughter (go to College).  Now, I need to use my email to set up a Microsoft account for me to use the features of 8.1 of Windows on a new computer laptop, I just bought.  For example if I want to use the mail on W8.1 client it forces me to set up a Microsoft account because I don't want to link this machine the software licenses for my daughter's account, etc..  HOW CAN I CHANGE THE USERNAME ON HIS ACCOUNT SO I CAN USE MY EMAIL ADDRESS TO MY NEW ACCOUNT GAME?

  If you connect to http://account.microsoft.com , you would be able to change your email address.

  One way would be to pass account to your Microsoft Account daughter portable Local account and then use create new Microsoft Account for her and connect with her

  However, you connect with your account in your PC and then your bet as you wish.

• Unable to sync the iPhone with Microsoft Account

  I am unable to sync my i phone on my microsoft account.  I use the same password with that I log into my email account.  I keep coming an error says thay I'm in the wrong user name or password.  Have I not a different password that I don't know?

  [Original title: iphon]

  Make sure that you use your full Microsoft Account e-mail address as your username and the same password allows you to connect to the Microsoft Web site account.

  If you have two-factor security settings on your account - the system this SMS you a special code when your connection somewhere new - you'll need to go to this website link above and create a unique password to synchronize your iphone (you need only do this once).
