Kindle Fire and Microsoft Live Account

Hello magnificent skypers,
I installed/set up Skype with my Microsoft account. Everything is working fine on my PC as I use the "login in with a microsoft account" option. But this option doesn't appear to be available in the Kindle version of Skype. I haven't set up a Skype account directly and when I try to "unlink" my microsoft account in my profile, the option tells me I need to contact support. I assume I need to have a skype account? If so how do I tie this up with my subscription.. Thanks

Hi, Leigh3ann, and welcome to the Community,
Please try this:
Un-link your Skype account from your Microsoft account: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA12211/how-do-i-unlink-my-skype-account-from-my-microsoft-or-faceb... if you run into trouble, please see here: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA12209/what-should-i-do-if-i-can-t-unlink-my-skype-and-microsoft-o...
Download the Skype for Windows Desktop version of the software, where you will be able to sign on to Skype using your Skype account. The Skype "Modern" version permits a log-in only using a Microsoft account.
Kind regards,
Elaine

Windows 8.1 Deploy is trying to sign onto Microsoft Live account.

I have a few Windows 8.1 machines running through MDT2013 just fine. They boot to the desktop as Administrator and finish a few jobs and completes fine. Now I have a Motion tablet, set up the same identical way, but rather than booting to the desktop as
Admin, it stops at the logon screen with two generic icons to choose from - one a Microsoft Live account and the other a Local Account. I have to choose the Local account and type in Administrator and the password I've already put in the unattend. I only have
30 of these tablets, but I don't understand why they're not logging onto the desktop as the others do. The TS steps are exactly the same and so is the unattend. Any ideas?

Hi,
The full version of Windows 8.1 pro in this link is ok for you to do the clean installation.
http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/en_US/pdp/Windows-8.1-Pro/productID.288401500
The important notification just mean that if you would like to do the upgrade, only Windows 7 can be used.

Kindle Fire and Uverse App Update to new version

I use my Kindle Fire to watch live TV from my office up until this last week. Apparently Uverse did an app update and now the current version is not compatible. When I search for the updated App in the App store the only option now is the Kids Uverse version. When I click on the link from Uverse.com, the app says it is incompatible and cannot download. Is there a Kindle Fire version or a way to update the old one so it will work?

Kindle is Android compatible , so you should be able to side load the Uverse app from 1mobile market. http://www.1mobile.com/at-t-u-verse-130810.html Otherwise you will have to wait for Amazon Store to update their Uverse version.

Kindle Fire and Adobe Air plug in + Air 2.7 + gpu + landscape + full screen

Alright I got a couple of issues here.
First I was on air 2.7 trying to convert an app that is designed to run in gpu mode, in landscape orientation, and full screen, well this is a known bug on 2.7 and the work arounds I found did not solve my problems or I was not clear on implementing them.
Then I figured I go 3.1, surely that issue is fixed by now, run the app on my Kindle Fire and it tells me my air is out of date so it prompts me to go to the Amazon app store for an update except when I do it just takes me to the free app of the day page and I can't manually find the air app through the built in amazon app store, I see it on the web version but cannot download it, and if I am having this problem all the users will too so some solution like getting it off the android market and putting on the fire manually is useless.
It seems that there is no plug in available on the amazon app store that will allow the fire to run applications built in 3.1, is this true? I've seen a few posts regarding this. And if true, why and when will this be fixed? I wasted a day with this problem when I could have been doing some design.
Any ideas or suggestions are welcome.

A word of caution:
the Amazon Appstore checks for Kindle Fire support AFTER it accepts app updates. So a developer can unknowingly break KF support, and still get app updates accepted into the store!
Here is an e-mail I just sent to Amazon's KF team:
FYI, there is a significant loophole in your submission pipeline:
1) All my apps use Adobe AIR.
2) For the longest time, they were all compiled with AIR 2.7 so there was no problem. I got a bunch of downloads, including from Kindle Fire users.
3) A week ago, I updated most of my apps to AIR 3.1, and broke Kindle Fire support, without my realizing it, because I didn't know that the KF only supports AIR 2.7. Unfortunately, all the updates with broken KF support were accepted into the store!!!
4) Now I am getting users complaining that their apps no longer work on Kindle Fire.
What should have happened: NONE of the updates should have been accepted after it was realized by your review team that they broke Kindle Fire support, while previous versions worked fine on it and KF users downloaded them. Reviewing KF support separately, after the initial review/acceptance, is not a good process!
In any case, I have re-submitted all my apps with the release note 'Restored Kindle Fire support'. What I did was use 'captive runtime' for compiling all my AIR 3.1 apps, which normally means that the app will not require an external AIR runtime to function. Hopefully, this will work this time. If not, I am going to have to re-compile everything using AIR 2.7, which is a major drag since some of the features I depended on are part of AIR 3.1.

Metro Apps don't open on Local and Domain account. Works on Microsoft Live account. Windows 8.1 Pro

This is Happening on Three different computers.
All computers are Windows 8.1 Pro. This is a clean install.
When the computer is initially setup, I first sign on with my Windows Live ID and everything seems to work fine there.
After Joining the computer to the domain, none of the Metro UI apps will open, they open briefly and close.
Added a local account and found that it also does not work there.
Steps I have tried to resolve this:
Modified owner and permissions on registry Key: HKCR\AppID\{3EB3C877-1F16-487C-9050-104DBCD66683}
Changed owner to Local Administrator and gave full controll to Local Admin and Domain user account.
Ran DCOMCNFG and under Computers ->My Computer-> WinInetCacheServer Properties I went to the IDENTITY TAB and changed
it to the Interactive User.
That did not help.
Ran this command: "powershell
-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $Env:SystemRoot\WinStore\AppxManifest.xml" from elevated command prompt and also did not help.
I tried downloading the App troubleshooter but it would not run.
I also tried "wsreset.exe" and got an error saying: " Windows cannot find 'ms-windows-storePurgeCaches'. Make sure you typed the name
correctly, and then try again"
When Trying to open the app and it fails I get this error under Applications in Event Viewer:
"Activation of app winstore_cw5n1h2txyewy!Windows.Store failed with error: This app does not support the contract specified or is not installed. See the Microsoft-Windows-TWinUI/Operational log for additional information."
Anyone know how to resolve this.
We are looking to implement Windows 8.1 Pro to our clients pretty soon and need to get this resolved asap.
Thanks

Hi,
Did you mean that this problem only after you join the computer to the domain? if so, you may need to check whether you domain controller would install any program to your system. or you can contact domain adminstrator for further assistance.
In addition, run the following in a Command Window (CMD) to re-register the Store App:
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $Env:SystemRoot\WinStore\AppxManifest.XML

Kindle Fire and emails

Hello,
I may be in the wrong place here, but can anyone tell us how to SEND emails on our new Kindle fire? We can receive them fine. We have a desktop with XP and use Outlook Express; we are with BT Broadband. We thought we'd done everything correctly, but obviously not.
Many thanks.

If its the standard Kindle email you are using and are happy with POP3 set up try these settings. (Obviously user name and password are your own BTYahoo ones). You may have used this set up

If so just check the settings are the same as below.

Kindle Fire and Cisco Valet M10

I am having trouble keeping the connection constant on my Kindle Fire. I've re-entered everything manually. My iPhone and 2 other computers are fine. Please help!

There are times when your Valet Hotspot receives large frames of data, thus resulting to slow Internet connectivity. This is most common when streaming videos or playing online games. To resolve this issue, you can configure the MTU settings of your Valet Hotspot.
Here is the link to help you out in configuring the MTU Settings: http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?pid=93&login=1&vw=1&app=search&articleid=22400&userrole=Links...

AD FS and Microsoft live-id

Hi guys, I was wondering is it possible to have an on-premise adfs 2012 r2 server and configure/connect to microsoft sts as a claim provider so people with live id can logon to our environment.

Hi Dirkverhagen123,
To solve the claim provider issue in ADFS, I recommend you can post in this forum for more effective support:

Thanks for your understanding.

I am not seeing e-mail on Outlook and my Live Account. Any suggestions?

When I send/receive my mail is not coming through to Outlook.

Hi cotarica47,
Firefox is a web browser. Things like email and page contents come from the provider. It sounds like this may not really be a Firefox issue. You should consult the help documentation for your email provider. You'll probably be able to find a guide there on setting up your email account with outlook.
Hopefully this helps!
