Error while trying to Switch to Microsoft Account.

I just recently formatted my laptop , after which i have been using a local area network and am unable to switch to my microsoft account. I have followed all the steps given in this link : http://windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows-8/microsoft-account-tutorial
But as soon as I go to "Your Account" and click on Connect to a microsoft Account it gives me the following error : " This service isn't available right now - please try again later."
I would really appreciate if someone could help me out with my problem.
thank you.

Hi,
Please follow the steps below to check the service named "Microsoft Account Sign-in Assistant" status.
Try to enable this service and have a try.
Please remember to mark the replies as answers if they help, and unmark the answers if they provide no help. If you have feedback for TechNet Support, contact [email protected]
Which steps? Anyway I enabled that service by going to manage. It still did not help. I think i shall probably re-install my windows 8.1. Thanks for the suggestions everyone.

  • Error while trying to add a calendar account

    Dear all,
    I've already added a public calender (ics) to my iPhone but now I need your help.
    I want to add the calender of my fellow (our both calenders are served by Exchange 2003). After filling out all the required fields (Server, description, user and password) my iPhone checks the account information and comes back and ask me again for user name and password.
    The error messages from the console are:

  • I finally got my iphone out of recovery mode, after 7.1.1 but now it won't accept my Icloud info and states "An error occrured while trying to save the Icloud account?" What do I do????

    I tried updating my iphone 4 to 7.1.1 and it went straight into recovery mode.... I finally got my iphone out of recovery mode, but now it won't accept my Icloud info and states "An error occrured while trying to save the Icloud account?" What do I do????

    Same situation. I installed iOS 8 beta 4 on my iPhone 5 and a few days later my iCloud account disappeared. My contacts and calendar entries are gone.
    My Mac Mini and MacBook do sync as they should with iCloud.
    When I try to log in to iCloud on the iPhone (the username shows "[email protected]" and password shows "required"), I put in my username and password and tap "Sign In", It says "Verifying" at the top and after a while checkmarks appear next to my username and password. Then I get an error message saying "An error occurred while trying to save the iCloud account". If I tap OK the message goes away, leaving my username and password intact (checkmarks are now gone). If I tap "Sign In" again I get a message saying " '[email protected]' is Already Added. This iCloud account has already been added to your iPhone". If I go back to Settings and then go into iCloud again it's not set up and appears as I stated at the beginning of this paragraph.
    Nothing works and the sync does not occur. Contacts are empty and Calendar has no entries.

  • HT204053 I have come across following error when accessing my icloud account " icloud encountered an error while trying to connect to the server" please help...

    Please help with below error...
    I have been trying to access my icloud account in laptop with windows 7 operating, but I couldn't able to log in to icloud which show following error " icloud encountered an error while trying to connect to the server".
    I have icloud icloud control panel.
    But I can access my same icloud account in another laptop with windows xp operating.

    My recommendation is to download Apple’s Safari version 5.1.7 for Windows to access iCloud.com. It consistently works for me!!!! To make things easier with Safari, I made iCloud.com its Homepage. I’m using it to access iCloud.com from all of my PCs.
    On my Windows 7 systems it appears that some add-ons are causing problems when you try to access iCloud.com with the 32-bit version of IE9, but the 64-bit version seems to work fine, more than likely because there are few add-ons that are 64-bit and the 64-bit version of IE9 can't be the default browser in Windows 7.

  • Excel service and OWA - getting ERROR while trying to open/edit Excel documents

    Hi All,
    We have configured SharePoint 2013 with Excel Service and OWA (Office Web Apps).
    After configuring, we are able to view/edit Word or PowerPoint documents from the browser (as OWA is configured). But we are getting errors while trying to open/edit Excel documents.
    We are not able to view/edit the excel workbook from the browser (through OWA).
    To open the excel in the browser, decision has to be taken at the farm level on what to be used – Excel Service or OWA Server? Is it possible to do setting at site collection level?

  • Error while trying to remove an object with dsrm command

    hello,
    i get an error while trying to delete an object computer with the command line tool, DSRM. i get this view:
    actually, it's a one of hundreds of commands, that help cleaning the active directory of the obsolete objects. it is saying : "Access Denied" (in french, accès refusé). i say that the account used to execute this command, is a member of domain
    admins group, and enterprise admins group too. so i cannot believe it's a mater of some missing rights... :/
    thanks in advance, for your help,
    regards

    Hi,
    I was able to reproduce your issue when using a non-elevated command prompt in a 2008R2 box. So please try to elevate your command prompt and your command will most likely go through.
    In addition to above, I'd suggest you look in to PowerShell instead, which in most cases is more effective.(and doesn't need to run in an elevated prompt to make AD-Changes)
    The same as above could be done with the powershell cmdlet Remove-AdComputer.
    Remove-AdComputer -Identity "Distinguishedname"
    Hope this helps you!

  • Trying to setup new iCloud in system preferences and get error message: "iCloud encountered an error while trying to connect to the server."

    Here's the sequence of events:
    Setting up a new iMac.
    Migration Assistant was aborted during setup and a normal setup was completed.
    Then ran Migration Assistant from the newly setup account.
    It ran fine, but put all the data in a new account called "user".
    Renamed "user" to a new name, renamed the home folder to a new name following these instructions: OS X: How to change your account name or home directory name
    Delete the account we originally created, so just have one account with the name we want and all the data, email. Works fine.
    Sign into the App Store with the account we share for purchases.
    Now, the problem:
    Go to System Preferences to setup iCloud with a new Apple ID
    Get this error: "iCloud encountered an error while trying to connect to the server."
    So I'm unable to setup iCloud for photo stream, FaceTime, etc.
    Internet works fine, we can get mail, etc.
    Rebooting doesn't help
    Ideas?

    never mind the problem is gone this morning.

  • Error while Installing Oracle Services for Microsoft Transaction Server

    I downloaded "Oracle9i Database Release 2 Enterprise/Standard/Personal Edition for Windows NT/2000/XP" and installed the personal edition. It did not install successfully and gave this error message:
    Error while Installing Oracle Services for Microsoft Transaction Server
    The specified key was not found while trying to GetValue
    - stop installation of all products.
    - stop installation of this component only.
    The installation of Oracle 9i Database was unsuccessful
    The Integration tools and client installed just fine from the same download. Why didn't the database install successfully? All the other components seemed to install just fine and the database appeared to be created - but I could not open it and there was not start menu option for DBA Studio.
    I am running Windows 2000 professional with Service Pack 3 on a 2 GHz Pentium4 machine with 512MB Rambus RAM, 32bit color graphics ATI All-in-Wonder card, about 40GB of disk space, a local peer-to-peer network via cat5 cable to another Win2k P3 machine, and Creative Soundblaster Audigy card. Do I need to adjust any network settings? Would it help or hinder if I installed MS IIS? WinNT has a Microsoft Transaction Server (MTS) but Win2k has COM+ instead; does that make a difference in terms of the installer looking for MTS? Do I need to configure COM+ in some special way / change settings?

    HI Salman,
    I am doing the following.
    1. I am installing Oracle 10.2.01 Database(Not Client) on my windows Xp laptop. While installation i Choose the custom option and Check the Oracle Windows Interface. In that i check the "Install Oracle Services for Microsoft Transaction server" checkbox. The installation goes on fine till 99% and when it tries to install the
    Oracle Services for Microsoft Transaction server it gives an error saying that "Microsoft Transaction server" was not found on the system.
    I had previously installed the same on my laptop and it was working fine. but after uninstallation when i try to re install i get this problem.
    If i go to the services.msc option in windows i still see the OracleMTSRecoveryService option even when i have uninstalled oracle. But when i try to start the services i get the following error
    Could Not start the OracleMTSRecoveryService on the local computer.
    Error 3: The system cannot find the file specified.
    Any help on how to resolve this issue will be highly appreciated
