Troubleshooting Skydrive on Windows RT 8.1 - Sync Problems

So many Windows RT and Windows users still complaining about sync problems on Skydrive after more than an year of Windows RT devices were launched.

The problems are not new and Microsoft seems to be "blind" to users complaints.

I'm not different to thousands of users having this problem.

If you look for a solution on Microsoft community and Support Forums, you will take hours to find a link to a troubleshooter application for Windows RT 8.1 (easier to find for Windows 8.1). So, after I found it, I decide to make it available here:

TROUBLESHOOTING SKYDRIVE 

On the page of the link below, click in the linked word "troubleshooter" under the paragraph "Note" and you will download a (.cab) file. RUN IT !

>>>>   http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/skydrive/folder-file-sync-error-faq 

Here is what you will see on the web page clicking on the link above.

Note

• For help with SkyDrive in Windows 8.1 or Windows RT 8.1, see SkyDrive: FAQ, or run the troubleshooter.

ps: there's no guarantee that running this (.cab) file, your problems will be solved, but it worth to try.

Outlook is comming to Windows RT ! Who actually needs it ?

There's a bunch of news and articles about the soon release of Outlook for Windows RT.

Windows RT has a group of apps to work with email, appointments and contacts (including social a messaging system). In the beginning, the Mail application was so limited that it causes a huge rejection and many started asking for Outlook.

Despite the ability to manage multiple email accounts (using imap), Mail Apps missed many important features like select and manage multiple messages (delete, move, etc).

Many Improvements: A few months later, a new releases of Mail, Calendar, People and Messaging was released and I confess email got a huge improvement. It can't still manage tasks.

I still want Outlook RT, but I confess I could live without it once all my contacts, emails and appointments are synchronized between my Surface RT, Windows 8 Notebook, my Windows Mobile 6.5 Phone (yes...I can synch also using my old Windows Mobile Phone) and my Live.com account.

Everything is perfectly synched. I still want Outlook to use with POP email configuration (and not only imap) and also manage my tasks and the integrated environment offered by Outlook.

The live tiles are also a huge help to keep your eyes on new emails, appointments and messages in at a glance in addition to the real time notifications on the top left of your tablet.

I use my Surface RT Tablet primarily for business purposes, and then, for entertainment.
