Cannot switch win 8.1 to micorsoft account

After upgrading my laptop to win 8.1, I am logged in as local user. When trying to log on with an online Microsoft account or as a new user, I get an error massage: "unfortunatky could not connect to Microsoft-service right now".
Can anyone help please?

Hi,
To first log on with your Microsoft account, we need to make sure that your computer is connected to the internet properly.
If there is any problem on connection, please update your network adapter driver from manufacture’s website.
Second, please check the status of service “Microsoft Account Sign-in Assistant” which control the logon event when you use Microsoft account. Make sure it can be started properly.
Please also reset your password of Microsoft account in Live website to check the results.
Also, please disconnect your Microsoft account when you login with the local account and then reconnect by following this article:
Change Microsoft live to a local account in Windows 8.1

  • I cannot switch between Yahoo Mail accounts, Firefox immediatley switches back to the default account

    I can open my free yahoo email account but I can not switch to my yahoo plus email account within yahoo email

    If that doesn't help, and if you haven't already...
    When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    (1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
    Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
    Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
    If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
    (2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
    * right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    * Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
    Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

  • IPhone 3GS stuck and I cannot switch it off. Screen shows an USB plug connecting to iTunes.

    My iPhone 3GS stuck and i cannot switch it off. Screen shows an USB plug connecting to iTunes.

    this usually appears when your iphone is not registered correctly with apple/itunes so plug it in to your computer and try setting it up if it gives you the correct prompt. if not try to restore and sync. usually tis problem appears when your iphone has no sim card or is not registered correctly. in this case you need to contact your carrier and set up an account. if you are trying to use it without a service or sim card then unless you go through some sketchy program of hacking it it is worthless to you without a sim or service plan. i have the original iphone1 i got from a buddy of mine i used as an ipod before getting an iphone4 and if i took the sim out this message appears. if you do have a sim and a service plan than there might be a problem with the phone reading the sim card you you can go into your service provider's store and request a new sim to see if that works.
    I am sorry if none of this is helpful for i have no other suggestions.

  • Cannot send email with any of my accounts on Mail 5.2

    I have a Mac Book Pro
    Mac Os X 10.7.4
    Mail 5.2
    I have many diferent email accounts (gmail, hotmail, prodigy.net.mx, etc)
    Some are POP, some are IMAP
    I have another computer, an iMac with older system and older Mail app. and used same setup for all accounts
    I can receive emails, but I cannot send emails on any of the accounts. I have quadruple checked all settings and all seems to be ok.
    All smtp connections appear as not connected, yet different servers, or email suppliers, this makes me suspect something else is wrong.
    Any ideas? Help would be appreciated.

    Just FYI, I've had the same problem for months now. I have been accessing my hotmail via the web, but decided to try the OS X Mail app.  I could get emails into the account with no problem but couldn't send.  I read all the blog and support entries and have tried everything they recommended, like changing my computer name to one word, without success.  Then last night, it just so happened that my broadband provider had to change out my wireless modem.  As soon as he plugged in the new one, some emails that had been in my outbasket for a month went through instantly and all of a sudden my Mail, both incoming and outgoing now work.  So I think people need to look at their router settings for the a solution to the problem. 

  • I have installed Mountain Lion 10.8.2 but still cannot get email from my work exchange account. I'd appreciate any help.  Thank you.

    You can go to the Apple online store and purcahse a copy of Mountain Lion.  This will give you a redemption code, which you can use to download Mountain Lion from the App Store.  Unfortuantely, I'm not aware of any other way to legally purchase it.  I have never seen Apple release Muontain Lion on DVD.
    In terms of Apple Service, they just need the serial number of the machine to check the purcahse date.  It is usually correct, to within a few weeks.  A quick Google search should give you the correct number to dial.
    I hope this helps.

    I would delete the account and try to re-enter it. Also, you have to let your firm's IT department know that you want to sync work email on your personal devices before they actually work.

  • I have two accounts and for both accounts I use the same emails. I cannot verify my email on my main account because of this. Help? Can I just cancel my other account to avoid confusion?

    I have two accounts and for both accounts I use the same email. I cannot verify my email on my main account because of this. Help? Can I just cancel my other account to avoid confusion? I am totally stuck now.

    By the sounds of it you have linked Email Accounts, if so this means that you will both recieve the majority of the same Emails, and if you do and you read them on your account (which is linked with your husbands) then they will appear to read on the both of them because they are linked. With the majority of Email providers these days they're Emails are (simplified) in the cloud you could say, meaning that if you read or delete shared Emails then it will do the same on both accounts rather than just the yours.
    I hope all that made sense, sorry that I couldn't be of anymore assistance.. If you havent already try googling your problem - you may find some answers on there

  • Where in gods name is the homesharing button, I see a little cloud that you cannot click on and tells you what account you have but thats is. There's an option for turning on and off homesharing, but no button to access the actual library of the other PC

    Where in god’s name is the homesharing button, I see a little cloud that you cannot click on and tells you what account you have but that's it. There's an option for turning on and off homesharing, but no button to access the actual library of the other PC. On either PCs. Both are logged in and both are registered for homesharing. however because apple keeps updating and moving things around for no reason there appears to be no way of accessing the homsharing button in the latest version of itunes. the website refers to " Once set up, all the libraries from your computers you've enabled Home Sharing on will show up in the SHARED area of iTunes:" well I have searched all over in the recent itunes versions and there is no "shared area" to be found.
    Please find the attachment of a screen cap of my itunes.
    If anyone can help by telling me where it has been moved to or if it even still exists that would be much appreciated.

  • How can I switch on my Apple TV speakers when it asks "multiple speakers" I cannot switch off my computer speakers and switch on my Apple TV speakers so cannot get airplay to work?

    How can I get my Apple TV airplay to work from my PC.  On the airplay symbol it says Multiple Peakers please choose but I cannot switch off my computer speakers and switch on my Apple TV speakers so cannot get airplay to work from my PC.  Everything is OK when using my Ipod touch.

    Don't use Multiple Speakers option and just choose the AppleTV
    What are you trying to Airplay? If it's iTunes content it's simpler to 'pull' the stream from the Computers icson on AppleTV by selecting the libarry and media.
    If you are attempting to Airplay the desktop you can't.

  • Cannot switch base units on Goods Receipt PO copied from Purchase Order

    Hi,
    I am wondering if there is a simple trick or setting for this or if we have to use a UDF/FMS...
    When using Uom for sales and purchasing, you cannot switch between Yes and No for base units on the target document(GRPO) when copying a PO to GRPO.
    For example, enter a purchase order selecting 'No' for base units and enter quantity 1 for item with Uom case(25 pcs in a case). 25 are ordered. If the warehouse receives 23 instead of a full case from the supplier,  they want to be able to enter 23 on the GRPO(copied from PO). They don't want the warehouse staff calculating what percentage to put in for quantity (23/25 = 0.92),  they would just like them to use the drop down box and change the base units to Yes and receive the quantity 23 units.
    Any suggestions?

    Hi,
    How often this would happen?  If it is very frequent, my suggestion would be considering it when you create PO.  You know, if you could change that option, the link between PO and GRPO will be broken.  It is not recommended.
    Thanks,
    Gordon
