Unable to log in with Microsoft Account

I'm on Windows 7 Professional using the Skype desktop client. When I log in using my Skype name, I'm unable to see my Lync contacts. I was successful signing into my Microsoft Live account after several attempts yesterday. This morning when I booted up my laptop, I get an error that it cannot log in. If I sign into my Microsoft Live (Outlook) e-mail, I'm able to use the IM from the webmail client. This happens often with the desktop client. Any help would be much appreciated. This is so frustrating.

Try this:
Reset all Internet Explorer settings:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737
Open Internet Explorer. Go to Tools -> Internet Options -> Connections -> LAN settings. Make sure that the only option selected is “Automatically detect settings”.
Clear all Temporary Internet Files.
Open Internet Explorer -> Tools -> Internet Options -> General. In the section “Browsing history” press the “Settings” button and in the next window the “View files” button. Delete all files from the Temporary Internet Files folder.

Cannot log in with Microsoft account

When I try to log in to Skype with my Microsoft account, it keeps saying that there's a problem with my internet connection when there isn't. What gives??
EDIT: I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling and that hasn't helped.

What version of Windows are you on (XP, Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 )? Is it 32-bit or 64-bit?
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/827218
What is the version of Internet Explorer installed on your computer?
In Internet Explorer go to Help -> About Internet Explorer.
P.S. Please, don’t say that you are not using Internet Explorer. This is irrelevant. Skype depends on Internet Explorer.

Unable to log in to my account

Hi!
I have transferred my Home folder to a new, larger disk, then erased the original disk. (The system is on a different (SSD) disk, cloned from an earlier residence by using SuperDuper. Has worked flawless otherwise.)
When copying (using Sync) I dragged the icons for the whole volume in the Source and Target positions of the Sync window, not just the folder.
To erase the disk, I had to start from the system CD to unmount the OLD data disk, which I thought was not in use at all.
There were 3 partitions on that disk, one containing my Home folder.
Now when I try to restart, I get the message "You are unable to log in to user account <my account name> at this time … because an error occured."
I have earlier experienced the same in an attempt to install Windows via BootCamp, see here:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2803773?threadID=2803773&tstart=10
But this time, I have not (yet) removed any drives.
I can access everything on the Nehalem desktop machine via the MacBook Pro to which it is networked via the Internet router and from which I am writing this.
Hoping for your help - Hening.

It looks indeed like I should have known this on beforehand. I was not aware of that I should have used Migration Assistant. I thought it was OK to use SuperDuper to clone a startup volume.
Now that I have messed up, the history/scenario is this:
My system 10.6.7 and apps were on a HD, the Home folder on another HD.
Then I bought a 40 GB SSD, cloned the startup volume on to it using Super Duper. Seemed to work fine.
Later, I copied my Home folder to a larger HD using Sync.
And erased the HD that had contained the old Home.
That's when the trouble started, and I started this thread. Since I got no reply for some days, I started a new one
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3043638
asking how to repair permissions. Later, I remembered that I CAN log into my Me account from the MacBook! So I understood that it was not the Me account that was corrupted in itself, but the connection to the new system drive.
In the meantime, using root, I have created a new user account Me2 on the SSD so I can log in to my Mac. But I can not get access to the Apple-created folders in the old Home folder.
The scenario I want to end up with for the future is this:
As you advise, I will keep system, apps and Home together on the SSD - but only an "EMPTY" Home, with ALL data stored on an HD.
Could you please guide me what to do?
One particular problem is Mail. Mails are data that swell and may not have place on the SSD. And generally, I want to keep ALL data out of ALL these intricate procedures for ALL future...! And all in ONE place.
Is there a mail app that I can install in the apps folder, but which will accept that the mail boxes are installed on the data drive, and accessible all independent of all this permissions stuff, just like any other file? Thunderbird? I will try.
But first I need to get access to the mails which are already stored in my Me1 account...And right now I discover that from the new account, I can not access my data on the external data backup disk either!! So I absolutely need to get access to my Me1 account.
Sigh!

You may have been infected by malware that you downloaded and installed. The download was probably called "FlashPlayer.pkg". If you still have it please don't trash it quite yet. For the benefit of others in this community can you please upload it to http://www.virustotal.com. Once you have done that copy the ID and report it back here along with the exact name of the file that you uploaded.
If the results do not show anything in the status column next to ClamAV can you also upload it to http://cgi.clamav.net/sendvirus.cgi and in the description box include the keyword "macos". If you know the name of the site where you downloaded it from, that would also be useful. Then you should trash it so you won't be tempted to run it again.
A description of this malware along with instructions on fixing it can be found here: http://www.f-secure.com/v-descs/trojan_bash_qhost_wb.shtml
Thanks in advance and let us know how it goes.

HT4157 I am unable to log into the "View Account",

I am unable to log into the "View Account" on my iPad, I have tried to Reset the account but never get sent an e-mail. (I know what e-mail address it was originally setup with, but I did try all 3 just to be sure). I also not not able to reset the Subscription, for some reason that is not an option anymore - It was an option last week, I filled out the subscription to activate my connection, once I did the 3G went a way and that is when things started.
Just some other background - the same day this started, I received error trying to watch unrented movies on my iPad. When I tried to start watching, I received an error - "Unable to Open". I am not sure this is related or not.
I have since reset the entire iPad, (Reset all settings and Data) thinking this would fix the issue but no lick.
Network is AT&T
IOS is 5.1.1 (9B206)
64 GB
Any suggestions ?

I have had a similar problem trying to view my account with AT&T, it could be the AT&T server is down for viewing your account.

Unable to link Skype and Microsoft accounts

I am really confused here. I haev tried this on Windows, Mac and iOS no matter what I do cannot link my current/old SKype ID with my longtime Microsoft account. I've followed the KBs poste don this site and I am missing the step where I am offered to link my Microsoft account with my Skype one. E.g I will reference the iOS guide :
Logout of existing Skype ID
Choose login with other account
Choose Micrsoft account
Login with Microsoft account
Choose option for "Already using Skype?" <-- This option does not exist for me on any platform
Not sure why this refuses to work - has anyone else seen this? I had thought initially my Microsoft account TFA (two-factor auth) was throwing this off, and so disabled TFA but still got the same issue.
Then I thoguth that by using one of my aliases for my microsoft account it was not working properly, so I tried the explicit alias I have <username>@outlook.com but that did the same thing.

Ok, I got through the process... of getting back to Skype Community after merging, which is not as easy as it seems. Beware of that! When you merge your accounts, you won't be able to get back to your Skype Community profile due to the merging process that somewhat deletes your "standalone" Skype profile. Your Skype community profile is account-based, not info-based. So even if you will still be using the same Skype name and the same e-mail address, you won't be able to login to your Skype community profile if you created it using your Skype-only account refering to the same e-mail address has your MS one. You will need to create a new Skype community nickname using a completely different e-mail address (like a Gmail or another hotmail, outlook,... that you own). But, doesn't matter if you don't plan to come back to the Skype community, everything else will be fine.
Here's the real stuff! Here are the steps to merge your Skype account with your Microsoft account even if you don't get the prompt asking if you already own a Skype account when logging in with your Microsoft account.
0. Make sure to log out on any Skype app that could still be connected to the service with either of your accounts
1. Go to Skype website and login using your Microsoft account
2. Once on your personal profile page, select "Account Settings" at the bottom of the page
3. Beside your Microsoft account that is listed on the page, click on "Unlink" and complete deletion process of this "ghost profile" (shouldn't be any contacts saved on this profile if you didn't add any contacts in Skype with your Microsoft account)
4. Go back to any Skype desktop or mobile app, login using the "Sign in with a Microsoft Account" option
5. Then, you should be asked again if you own a Skype account, click "Yes", then enter your Skype login information to proceed with the merge.

I have 2 macbooks each with an account for me and one for my wife. I use one Macbook logged in with my account and my wife uses the other Macbook only loged in on her account. We both make regular time-machine back-ups each on a separate external disk

I have 2 Macbooks each with an account for me and one for my wife. I use one Macbook logged in with my account and my wife uses the other Macbook only logged in on her account. We both make regular time-machine back-ups each on a separate external disk. Is it possible to update her account on my macbook using her external disk without overwriting my stuff on the same Macbook and vice versa?

Time Machine does not do individual accounts. It records the complete drive. So if you were to use her TM backup on your Mac it would make your Mac just like hers. Both yours and her account on your MAC.
Just copy the missing files over from her Mac to yours. If there are differennt programs on each then they would need to be installed on both.

I have problem with skype sign in with Microsoft account. When I click on sign in with Microsoft account, in version 7 skype freezes and not respond and in version 6 it stays in loading and not respond. I tried to uninstall completely and reinstall, delete the share.xml and all of the available solutions. None of them have worked! It's worth to mention that I have no problem with Android version.

Can't login to Skype with Microsoft account

Hello!
My problem is I can't login to Skype (website and program both) with Microsoft account. When I try to login to Skype on website, it says: There is a problem signing in with Microsoft account. Please try again or sign in with Skype details instead.
Please help me, I tried so many things and nothing works...

And me. And I tried to reset my password by getting the "password token" emailed to me. Once received I clicked on the link to reset my password and it told me that my "password token wasn't recognized" and to enter it manually. I did that, going as far as to cut and paste the token, and it wasn't "recognized" again.
And when I was able to sign in, I couldn't get any new contacts, even though I knew they were presently signed in.
Bring back Windows Live!

Login to WebApi (MVC + WebApi) with Microsoft Account from Windows Store App

Hi
How can I access a WebApi Controller (ASP.NET MVC+WebApi) that is secured with Microsoft Account from a Windows Store App?
I have no idea how to login. I tried the LiveSDK but this gives me only access to OneDrive, Callender and so on.
Could someone please point me in the right direction.
Thanks
Guenter

Hi Guenter,
To be clear, you are using Microsoft account as login and at same time you have your own REST service for other functionalities?
Let's say if you login with LiveSDk, you should be able to get some access token, see this for more information:
Signing users in, after that use the token to access your REST service, as I understand REST service is a kind of http request, we can use HTTPClient to request data from the address.
I'm afraid there is no existing sample here but the only thing I found is HTTPClient sample:
https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowsapps/HttpClient-sample-55700664, you can use POST to send your token information to the server.
