Windows live SMS?

I have an iPhone 3G, and it used to be able to send and receive SMS messages from windows live. So, if I wasn't on the computer, if someone needed to talk to me through messenger, they could just message my phone. And then for some reason, it stopped working. I don't know why, but I tried to fix it by re registering my phone at windows live and it took me to the "Set up SMS for Windows Live" section and I had to enter my number, and then it was supposed to send a verification code to my phone - but it didn't. Like I said, it used to work all the time up until a week ago and then it just stopped, so I'm not sure why it isn't working anymore =/. I know it wasn't because I added anything new because it was working perfectly one day and then the next day it wasn't working at all. I already tried to restore the iPhone and reset it with back up but it still doesn't work.

I don't know why, but I tried to fix it by re registering my phone at windows live and it took me to the "Set up SMS for Windows Live" section and I had to enter my number, and then it was supposed to send a verification code to my phone - but it didn't.
Since you didn't receive a verification code from SMS for Windows Live, this indicates the problem lies with SMS for Windows Live.
Since Windows Live is a Microsoft product, have you contacted Microsoft technical support?

Rookie needs help downloading Windows Live Mobile to her BB Curve 8310

How do I download Windows Live Mobile to my BB Curve 8310??
I've tried both the Hotmail Windows Live and the link to the Blackberry Live, but am not getting anywhere.
The Hotmail Windows Live link comes thru, but if I click on it nothing happens or I get lots and lots of black little squares.
If I clik on the try it link for the blackberry specifically, I get a page that just tells more information, but nothing to download.....??
If I go the software page, I get confused; nothing there that is specifically for the Windows Live Mobile??
Any suggestions?? Thanks in advance!!

Uploading photo to Windows Live Messenger 7.0.0

I have downloaded the new release of Windows Live Messenger but it will not allow me to upload a photo (jpeg) to use as my portrait - it says invalid file. It won't even allow me to pick one of the templated versions that are supplied. Does anyone know why?

I have received reply from Nokia regarding this issue. Referring to my previous post, I was advised to try the signing into Windows Live Messenger (WLM) through different connections, but not successful. I have already informed them the outcome. The second correspondence informs me that if I subscribe the WLM service for 30 days, then I need to pay a subscription fee to continue using. (The probability of the collection of subscription fee is made known to me during the installation of WLM on my mobile, however, there is no words of how much, how is the collectiong method is going to be from Microsoft)
Further research through Nokia website (http://europe.nokia.com/get-support-and-software/download-software/windows-live/faq) and links to Windows Live Mobile website (http://windowsliveformobile.com/en-us/popup4.html) shows that the subscription fee is no longer required, even if required, there will be an SMS to inform the user for continue use of WLM service. However, that is not the case for me. I have replied to Nokia Care informing them of the misleading and contradicting information they provided and got my third reply. It reiterates that there will be no subscription fees and if there will be any, there will be SMS notice. Nokia Care also asks me to seek clarification of this matter to Microsoft instead!
I was referred by Microsoft to seek clarification with Nokia after contacting them initially and now Nokia did the same. I seems to be sandwiched without any solution to my problem. Does anyone experience the same? What could be the problem? Any solutions? Please help, thanks!

Windows live for E51

i just updated the mobile firmware and i downloaded ovi but after i download it ,when i press on download app. on the moblie it opens my browser and the website for ovi, so how can i open the download app. and downlad windows live messenger PLS help!!!

Same issue. E51 with latest firmware v400.34.011.
Trying to install Windows Live Messenger from Ovi store and can't. Got the link via SMS. The Ovi page states "Windows Live", but the link downloads "Nokia Internet Services Support Package 1." The package installs OK, but there's no Live Messenger installation or download following up. Tried several times. Tried "Report the issue" link from the same download page and got "Internal Server Error", several times.
I'm doing all this from the E51 phone browser. I can download and use other apps, e.g. Nimbuzz.
Any comments would be appreciated.

E71 + Windows Live Messenger server settings

Hi all,
Any idea what the server settings are for Messenger/IM?
ie.
Under IM -> Settings -> Servers:
There is a field that asks for "web address". What should the input for this be?
Thanks in advance!

The Symbian S60 version of Windows Live Messenger from "Download!" rather cheeky charges you £1.50 (GBP) per month or the equivalent in your local currency, after a trial and as I recall is billed via premium rated SMS messages.
Its not free, and changing your handset may not help to bag some extra fee months. The service appears to be locked to your telephone number.
I personally would like it to be free, the fact that you mainly have to use data to talk to your IM contacts, means you have to pay twice.
Note to those who decided to charge: I'll refrain from using it until you make the S60 version always free.
Shunts...
I will mostly be communicating with a Nokia E72 Zodium Black
Nokia E72-1 with Vr 051.018.207.04 Software
If this post helped... Add some kudos!!

Windows Live Calender on Iphone time issue

I have a number of events set on Microsoft Windows Live Calender with time set in the GMT timezone. Apple is showing the times of these events differently despite having the same timezone. Any ideas on how can I resolve this?
When I enter windows live calender the time is correctly shown on my laptop but on my Iphone 4 this is incorrect.

Hi Slifer
Yes, I'm using the browse version of Windows Live Messenger on my iPhone 3G.
You can try on the www.MessengerGoneMobile.com:
1. Select your operator from the drop down list (after clicking download)
2. Select "Other" for Phone Make field
3. Select "Other" for Phone Model
Then you put your phone number and you'll get a text message with a link. Click Messenger on the MSN Mobile site to use Messenger.
If you're not in the UK just go to "uk.msn.com" or to "www.msn.com" and try the link there.
It really ***** that you can't download the Messenger application but that's because Apple doesn't want to compete with the SMS revenues of operators....... But that's really annoying because you can now get it on all BlackBerrys and Windows Mobile phones.......

ITunes for Windows 7 64 bit, Windows Live Mail Contacts not (all?) syncing

I have researched this as much as I can but cannot find a solution.
I had my iPhone 4 synced to my Window Vista Home Premium PC using iTunes just fine until January when the PC motherboard crashed. No data was lost and all contacts have been restored to my new PC with is Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit). My contacts are in Windows Live Mail (Windows Contacts) and I'm syncing via iTunes with "Sync Contacts with: Windows Contacts" selected.
However, not all contacts are syncing with my iPhone. In fact, I'm not sure they are syncing at all, although the sync function goes through. It may be that the only ones that sync are those that existed before the new PC (i.e., the Windows Vista contacts which were in Windows Mail). I have created new contacts on both the PC using the new version Windows Live Mail and on the iPhone since the crash, and would like to get them synced up.
Symptoms:
1) Some specific contacts on PC are not on the iPhone after multiple sync attempts.
I have so far positively identified one contact that did not sync. It shows in Windows Live Mail under Contacts, however it does NOT show up in my Windows username/Contacts folder!
2) One Contacts group on PC is not on the iPhone, although two others are (they probably were from before the crash).
I have so far positively identified one group that did not sync. It shows in Windows Live Mail under Contacts groups, however it does NOT show up in my Contacts folder as a .group file!
3) The same group as #2 also does NOT show up in the iTunes group list under "Selected Groups" on iTunes, but the other two groups do. (I do not use "selected groups" because that disables "all contacts" syncing, but the groups are visible grayed out on the list.)
4) As a test, I created a new contact on my iPhone, synced, and it shows up now in Windows Live Mail Contacts; it also shows up in my Windows username/Contacts folder.
5) As a test, I created a new contact in Windows Live Mail and it does NOT show up in my username/Contacts folder. I synced the iPhone again and it does NOT show up on my iPhone contacts.
OK folks, where are these missing contacts going and how can I get them synced?? Thanks!
PS: I have the latest iTunes 10.5.3.3, no updates are available. However, Apple Support/iTunes seems to suggest Windows 7 64 bit either "does not use Windows Contacts" (which seemed quite wrong until I ran the tests above), and also that Windows 7 64 requires iTunes 10.4.1, which I cannot install because I have a later version installed. I would have assumed the correct version installed for my OS when I installed iTunes on the new PC. iTunes runs fine by itself and in coordination with my iPhone other than the above issue.
PPS: This site seems potentially relevant, however is highly technical: http://liveunplugged.wordpress.com/2011/02/04/windows-live-mail-contacts-databas e/
but doesn't help with this problem.

I didn't get any help on this from the forum, but from studying around and experimenting with different approaches, I have come up with the following conclusions:
Under Windows Vista, Windows Mail synced its contacts with Windows Contacts [which are in c:\users\username\contacts]. iPhone via iTunes synced with Windows Contacts. Changes to either Windows Mail Contacts or iPhone contacts would always update each other. Life was good.
Under Windows 7, Windows LIVE Mail (WLM) does NOT sync its contacts with Windows Contacts. It puts them into a hidden database. If you have prior Windows Contacts and brought them along for the ride, they are still there in the folder but they are not connected to the WLM contacts database
When you first set up Windows Live Mail, you can import your Windows Contacts and they appear to be synced. (In fact, they are, but only at that single point in time.)
If you change any Windows Live Mail contact or add a new one, it does NOT change in Windows Contacts. It only changes in the WLM contacts database. It therefore does NOT sync to your iPhone.
Similarly, if you change a contact on iPhone or add a new one, it will sync with Windows Contacts. However, this does NOT update your Windows Live Contacts.
So, from what I can tell, here is what this means: to maintain a steady state, you have two choices:
Whenever you update or add a contact, add it in either iPhone or Windows Contacts [the Windows Contacts folder has a "New Contact" button], and they will stay in sync with each other. Then manually update or add it in Windows Live Contacts to keep those up to date so you can use them for e-mail. OR
Whenever you update or add a contact, add it in either iPhone or Windows Contacts, and they will stay in sync with each other. DO NOT manually update Windows Live Contacts, but realize they are not always up to date. If an address needed for an e-mail is not in there, manually retrieve it from your Windows Contacts or your iPhone and insert it into the e-mail. [Having done that, you can right click on the address in the e-mail and add it to your WLM contacts if you want.] Periodically, manually delete all of your Windows Live Mail Contacts and then re-import your Windows Contacts into Windows Live Mail and, voila, your contacts are in sync again! (Isn't that great, I mean really awful??)
NOTE: If you follow course #2, DO NOT import your Windows Contacts into Windows Live Mail contacts without deleting your existing Windows Live Mail contacts, or you will end up with a double set plus the new ones.
FURTHER NOTE: I obviously can't make any guarantee you won't lose data if you follow course #2. Be sure you have a complete backup before deleting your WLM contacts. However, I will say that after experiencing a double set of WLM contacts (by failing to understand the first NOTE above), it was impossible to pick out the new items [WLM will now show you the date of entry or modification of the contact, so you can't sort by date], so I deleted all of them and re-imported my Windows Contacts and had a complete set again.
AND ONE FINAL NOTE: I have not tested how any of this affects Windows Live Contacts used online outside of Windows Live Mail, because I do not use Windows Live online.
Please post further comments if you have any more information on this topic.

Songs don't show up in Windows Live Messenger after itunes 7.0.1 update

The topic line pretty much says it all. I've checked the settings in Messenger. I'm not sure the songs are supposed to show up in Messenger from itunes, but they always have and I like that feature.
Since updating itunes from 7.0 to 7.0.1 this feature doesn't work. I wonder why apple doesn't test their stuff before releasing it anymore. They're getting as bad as Microsoft anymore, which is a shame. I'm referring mainly to the larger problems with itunes 7 rather than my petty problem here.
Any help would be appreciated though. Thanks.

I had the same problem!!!!
in windows live messenger (msn 8.0) go 2 tool>options & make sure the show song information from WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER as a personal messeger box is ticked!
then sign out of the messenger, close it & itunes, then open up windows live messenger, sign in, then open itunes @ start playing ur songs!
this worked for me. hope it works for u.
good luck!

Can not view photos on Windows Live Skydrive - Just see gray boxes

After uploading photos I am unable to view them. All I see are gray squares. Have addressed this with Windows Live Skydrive Help and they have suggested optimizing Firefox. How, I am not sure. I do not have this problem with IE, but I want to use Firefox.

So how does one Optimize Firefox?

Just 'upgraded' to Windows Phone 7, now my contacts can't synch from the PC, and Windows Live has a 500KB limit? Is there a way around this nightmare??

For years I was happily plugging in my Palm Treo Pro, and having my contacts and calendar synch with my PC, WITHOUT the need for that information to be stored on the cloud, where anyone could get at it. When that died recently, I bought a used Windows 7
phone.
So far, it sucks. And it's not the phone that's the problem.
My main issue is that I have diligently exported my (over 5000) contacts from Outlook as a CSV file, and went to import them into Windows Live, only to discover that there's a 500KB limit. That's somewhere around 500 contacts.
ARE YOU SERIOUS?!? You really need me to set up 10 different files, to import stuff onto the cloud?
Please tell me there is a way around this limit, or (better yet) a way to synch directly with my PC, so I can avoid this whole Windows Live disaster?? I want to use Outlook. It's a Microsoft product!
Please help!

Hi,
I'm not sure about the Microsoft Account Contact limit, for this issue, you may post the question to Microsoft Community:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook_com
If you still have the contacts in your Outlook Client, I suggest you setup the Microsoft Account(Windows Live) in Outlook via Exchange ActiveSync, then move the contacts to the contacts folder of the Microsoft Account, let it sync, then all will be done,
you don't have to export and import the .csv file any more.
