IE11 favorites 'pinned to start menu' bug - not all of these sync between Surface RT and Surface 2

answers.microsoft.com/en-us/surface/forum/surf2-surfgetstart/not-all-of-my-favorite-websites-that-were-pinned/
Recently bought surface 2, originally pinned everything on Surface RT in windows RT, later upgraded to windows 8.1 RT
Noticed only some of my favorite websites that were pinned to start sync'd over to the Surface 2. They were also out of order, but still in the same section of the start menu
Didn't get anywhere on the other forums. Any tips here that might help?
How does the start menu sync work?

I'm pretty sure both of my surface's are already trusted devices.
I sign in to both of them every day.
First, the sync is not instant. There should be a way to force the sync... like a sync button.
I tested this by moving some pinned things around AND changing the start background and then waiting for the other one to catch up with the start menu changes.
The Journals / website pins to start are definitely bugged between the two devices. Not all of them sync. I'm now in the process of doing a work-around. Instead pinning them to a favorites bar folder AND the start menu... until this is resolved.
It's pretty annoying and hope that Microsoft is looking in to it.
EDIT:
More info about the bug. I re-pinned the website to start on the Surface 2 (which didn't originally sync over from the RT). Now when I move it around on the Surface 2, it moves the same website, but different name on the start screen on the Surface
RT.
So it is detecting that it is the same website pinned, but the names are not syncing over. It is like it is hidden, although it's not like there is a box missing... it re-organizes / collapses the order down to appear that it isn't missing multiple
boxes.
EDIT 2:
When working on the work-around, after adding the website to a favorite bar, then going to the device that didn't sync, opening the page, then re-pinning it to start on the bugged sync device, it will insert the pin in the exact same spot on that device,
even if you name it something else - you'd think it would go to the end, but it knows where it is supposed to go... even though the sync is bugged.
I ran the troubleshooter linked here, but it just made a log. I put the result in the other forum:

I am using Windows 7. I have Favorites on my start menu but it links to IE favorites. Is it possible to change the link to point to my bookmarks?

I want to replace the IE favorites on the start menu to reflect my bookmarks instead. Is this possible?

Firefox and IE store their favorites/bookmarks in a totally different way, it is not possible for the start menu to show the Firefox bookmarks.
One possibly workaround is to sync IE favorites and Firefox bookmarks. The Xmarks program, which is free for use on desktops/laptops, can keep the favorites and bookmarks in sync, so any changes you make in one is reflected in the other. It is available from http://www.xmarks.com/

Why will my icloud calendar not sync between my iphone and calendar on Outlook PC?

Why will my icloud calendar not sync between my iphone and calendar on Outlook PC?

I think I may be having the same issue In a round about kind of way. Just got an iPhone4S ... everything worked great until today when I started tinkering with the settings in my new phone and noticed my cloud was getting full and I had two iPhone back ups on there at 4GB a piece. So.... I deleted the old back up of the iPhone4 and after that is when I started noticing issues. The cloud on my phone can no longer authenticate itself , unable to tell me when the last back up was, and will not perform a back up at all. Furthermore I am unable to download apps or updates on my iphone4S, they all sit in "waiting" status....
I also must say that I purchased an iPad 2 and still have my original ipad in the house and active. Both back ups are in the cloud and both devices work fine independently and can download apps and back up fine as well. I'm pretty sure this may be the culprit concerning this issue and I too have no idea how to fix it. Please Help!!!

My Notes no longer sync between my mac and iPhone. I have tried everything.

My notes used to sync between my phone and my mac until a week and a half ago when it all of a sudden stopped. I have done absolutely everything that I have seen given as rememdies to this and nothing is working. I am thinking it is an issue with the phone, not the laptop. What now?

I have gone to setting and tried to unmark and remark Notes within iCloud and within gmail and any other accounts I can. I have tried relogging in to all accounts that have Notes marked on both the phone and the computer. I have tried resetting the network connection. I have tried moving the notes on the computer from one account to another to see if that changes anything. I have tried plugging the phone into the laptop and resolving things that way.
I normally have synced through iCloud and also through gmail. My iCloud storage is nearly full but I didn't think that that would be one of the effecting factors?
I am all out of ideas. It just stopped all of a sudden?

How does one do a two way contacts sync between an iphone and outlook? Most of the community has answered as this to be "always so", but it does not work! Changes made on outlook get done in my iPhone, but it does not work the other way around!

Note has stopped syncing between my ipad and my iphone. Can anybody help please?

Settings>icloud. Assuming you have already set up the connection to icloud (ID, password), then turn on Calendars on that screen.
If they don't appear, then log into icloud.com using a computer's browser and look at the calendars page. If empty, then you are not syncing calendars from your device to icloud. If there, then be sure Calendars is turned on in Settings>iCloud or System Preferences>iCloud.

Not all albums are syncing with between itunes match and iphone 5.. WHY!!!

Not all albums are syncing with between itunes match and iphone 5.. WHY!!!

First, disable iTunes Match on the iPhone. Open the Music app and let the content clear out. Now, in iTunes, disable iTunes Match while holding down the Option key (Shift for Windows). Quit iTunes, wait a few seconds, and re-open it. Turn iTM back on and let it complete it's scan. The songs that are "waiting" ought to get converted to "purchased," "uploaded" or "matched." Once the scan is complete re-enable the service on the iPhone.

Did Mountain Lion break calendar and note sync between the Mac and iPhone?

When I was running Lion, my calendars and notes synced properly between my Mac and iPhone (with notes going into Mail.app). After upgrading to Mountain Lion, the notes on my Mac were moved into Notes.app and my calendars appeared to be unharmed. I've recently noticed that neither my calendars nor my notes are syncing between my Mac and iPhone.
I use iTunes to sync my data (either via USB or WiFi) and have no interest in moving to iCloud. I have tried the suggestion of enabling iCloud sync on my iPhone, then disabling, as well as telling iTunes to overwrite the calendar data on my iPhone. Neither of these approaches has solved my sync problem.

I found a solution to my problem. Hopefully it helps someone else too.
I deleted the following file and folder:
~/Library/Calendars/Calendar Cache
~/Library/Calendars/Calendar Sync Changes/
When I synced my iPhone, I was presented with several sync conflicts to resolve. I resolved them and applied the changes immediately. Now my Mac and iPhone are in sync and I've confirmed that changes are syncing from my Mac to my iPhone (I'll confirm that it works the other direction tomorrow when I can look at my calendar at work).

Remove the iPhone from the list of devices in the car. Remove the car from the list of devices in the iPhone. Turn Bluetooth off on the phone and reset the phone. hodl the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and release. The phone will reboot. Turn the car on and put the radio into discovery/pairing mode. Turn Bluetooth on for the iPhone which puts it into discovery/pairing mode. The two should see each other.

URGENT: Sync between touch apps and Cloud not functioning properly

I'm having a lot of trouble with the SYNC between Photoshop Touch and the Creative Cloud ... firstly it is ridiculously slow (in a fast wifi connection) but most annoyingly it gets stuck at 60% then tells me the sync is complete, when it isn't ... this is pretty crucial now because I have no option to choose Dropbox or some other sync method ...

David_B,
I'm getting the same issue as this fellow up top. my email is juvezavala -at- gmail.com. Running Photoshop Touch on my Acer A500 Android tablet. Sync gets to 24% then sometimes 50% but then starts over at 'Sync process: 0% complete.'

Taskbar & Start Menu Bug: App Shortcuts set to Run as Admin don't open pinned/recent files in RaA

This is pretty self-explanatory.
Run in Admin does not kick in when launching a file via a Taskbar's pinned app icon, even when the pinned app has been set to 'Run in Admin' mode (under Properties -> Advanced).
The same thing happens in the Start Menu -- the app can be set (Properties -> Advanced) to Run in Admin mode, and the file does not launch this way.
Why is this a problem? Because if one is supposed to use accounts like MS asks, then running as a standard user after having a file created in an admin account, that user cannot alter the doc in any way -- no saves work. At least this is true for files not on the C partition. The only way W7 permits saves is to run an app in Admin mode.
(I've run into this countless times in the span of a few days with Notepad & PSPad.)
If the W7 team wants to insist that docs won't automatically run in Admin mode under these conditions (which they should!!!!!!), then at least give users a right-click context menu option to Run as Admin from the recent/pinned items list. Currently there is no such context menu option.
Thereby, all recent items / pinned items are rendered a useless feature.....
Still loving this OS.
a.k.a.

Sorry but this is not an answer. The answer to the question is that you cannot run pinned items with the same properties as the pinned program.
I'll use Visual Studio as an option here but I'm assuming this is true for any program.
Yes, right click on the pinned program and choose the Advanced settings and you can have it run as administrator by default. For SharePoint development for example this is great (and required). You have to run Visual Studio as admin on the local box
in order to deploy your solutions from within Visual Studio.
Even if you pin the program to the start menu or taskbar after you've set it to run as administrator it works.
What doesn't work are pinned files. Visual Studio will pin the last 5 or so solutions you've opened. This is handy if you're flipping back and forth between solutions and saves you an extra step when launching the program in that you can select it from the
context menu that appears attached to the taskbar icon.
However regardless of the setting of the pinned program, files launch in regular user mode and do not respect the "run as administrator" setting on the pinned program. I consider this a bug as it should respect the setting. And as nesmond mentioned, it makes
pinning solutions in Visual Studio useless if you need to run the program as administrator. So the best scenario you have is to pin it and set it to run as administrator but then manually open the file after launching. There is no way to have the shortcuts
that are pinned to run as administrator.

Start Menu Configuration not being saved using BootCamp in Windows 7

On a couple nearly identical MacBook Pros (ordered and built within the last couple months) I've encountered an issue where my Start Menu configuration is not being saved using BootCamp in Windows 7. Only the 64 bit version was tested, I don't have a 32 bit handy.
"Stickying" icons on the top of the shortcuts seems to hold, but changing the display to small icons, adding "administrative tools", menu displays from opening folders to showing lists, or even just telling it to not highlight newly installed programs are lost on a reboot. The changes do appear to work at first, but again, are lost on reboot.
Fwiw I'm using the machine in an Active Directory environment. If you need any additional information or further details just ask.

P55-A5312/Classic 8 start/Start menu icon not responding

I have a P55-A5312 laptop running on Windows 8. I have the Classic Start 8, and recently the start menu icon hasn't been responding when I click on it. It worked for a bit yesterday but now it isn't working again.
Two days ago, I tried a power reset. That did little if anything.

Sally, try reinstalling Classic Start 8.
