Why Didn't SkyDrive In Windows 8.1 Change To OneDrive

Feb 21, 2014

I just formatted and installed Windows 8.1 Pro

Then I installed OneDrive 17.0.4029.217

But when I right click in the taskbar on the cloud icon, it says "OpenSky Drive in Explorer" and there were no Windows updates pertaining to OneDrive I had to manually install the above thinking it would change the name of the SkyDrive folder in the left pane to OneDrive but it didn't

OneDrive And SkyDrive In Windows 8.1?

Sep 14, 2014

I have been using Windows 8.1 desktop (Dell 8700) for a little more than 6 months. I am very happy with its performance. The computer is very fast. But here is one hitch. As all of you might know that the original SkkyDrive was converted into OneDrive during Microsoft auto-updating process. OneDrive is the one supposed to be used.

Right now, I see both SkyDrive and OneDrive folders in the computer (even in my Windows 7 computers). There is no SkyDrive in "Uninstall program". So I could not remove the SkyDrive folder. Just "delete" SkyDrive folder" does not work either. Because of this problem, I was not able to study how to use OneDrive.

What is interesting to me is that SkyDrive seems to be still active and OneDrive, dormant. For example, c:UsersusernameOneDrivePicturesCamera Roll is active. The Camera Roll folder in the SkyDrive shows all pictures taken today with iPhone. On the other hand, OneDriveCameral Roll folder has a few old pictures.

how to get rid of the SkyDrive and force OneDrive as an active Cloud storage?

Apps / Software :: OneDrive / SkyDrive Won't Sync?

Jul 16, 2014

I have three machines running Windows 8.1 Update 1 and for some reason one of the machines does not like OneDrive. When I first boot the system the OneDrive Cloud appears in the tray. However, as soon as I hover the mouse over it to see the sync status the Cloud Icon goes away and I think I get the SkyDive 1000 error in the Event Log. I don't know what I did to screw it up on this machine

Dell :: Upgraded To Win 8.1 - SkyDrive And OneDrive / Both Labels Under File Folder

Apr 19, 2014

I had upgraded to Windows 8.1 after purchasing Inspiron 660s with Windows 8.0.

Under the Files Folder / Favorites group SkyDrive listed as a favorite. However, at the same level as Favorites, there is a OneDrive folder.

Under Windows 8.1, should not there be only OneDrive listed everywhere? Did something go wrong in the upgrade to 8.1?

Why Windows 8 Video Smoothing Didn't Work

May 8, 2013

I Stream a video on Windows Media Server at (5 Frame per second), and play it using an application on Windows 7 and Enable Frame Interpolation, it was played in 25 FPS

But when I do that on Windows 8, it still play in 5 FPS, and Frame Interpolation didn't work.

When I play the video stream in Windows Media Player 11 on windows 7 and enable Video Smoothing, it works and played on 25 FPS, but in Windows Media Player 12 in Windows 8 it didn't work also.

The Codec used in the video is (Windows Media Video 9)

this line of code enables frame interpolation on decoder

hr = pReaderAdvanced2->SetOutputSetting(i, g_wszEnableFrameInterpolation, WMT_TYPE_BOOL, (BYTE*)&checkedIfSmooth, sizeof(BOOL));

it returns (S_OK) on windows 8. but nothing happens.

Windows 8 Asking For Password But Didn't Enter One On Installation

Aug 12, 2012

I installed windows 8 release preview on my Samsung Slate yesterday. When it asked me to enter a password, I didn't and continued. After the installation was complete, the system asks me for a password. I press enter but it says the pw is incorrect so I tried all my old passwords but to no avail. I cannot reinstall it because I'm unable to change the boot order from bios to my 32GB USB thumb drive as it is not letting me.

Accounts :: Didn't Get Security Code During Update To 8.1

Dec 1, 2013

I just did the update from 8 to 8.1. One of the screens asked how I wanted to receive the security code.

I took the default option of a phone call.
I didn't get the call, so I changed it to the email option, and checked the email on another computer.
I didn't get the email either, so I clicked on "I can't do this right now".

So how do I get the code, and how do I do it later? Other than that it looks like the update went ok. I don't know why it came up with the system recover option turned off, and I had to change my setting so that I didn't have to enter a password at start up.

Windows 8.1 - OneDrive Folder On PC?

Aug 22, 2014

What is the purpose of the OneDrive Folder under C:UserMynameOneDrive? I know I can save files directly to OneDrive (in the cloud) or I can move/copy stuff to the OneDrive in the cloud. OneDrive then Syncs the cloud stuff to the User OneDrive folder. What's the point? Just a backup or does Windows 8.1 use the Synced information on the local machine (C:UserMynameOneDrive) to speed up processing and then Sync it back to the Cloud? I think I like it but just want to understand what is going on. Is there a "white" paper or something that explains in a little more detail, some link. Also, does it then make sense to include the OneDrive folder in the Library so that it gets backed up using Windows 8.1's File History function?

How To Get To Select Preferences For OneDrive In Windows 8.1

Aug 15, 2014

I see the App for OneDrive on the Windows 8.1.1 Start Window but I don't see any "Select Preferences" in a drop down menu that is referred to in a CloudDock article "7 OneDrive Tricks You Didn't Know About".

Can I/Do I need to install the Desktop App in addition to the Windows 8.1.1 App shown on the Start Screen? The OneDrive Desktop Support page says all I get is the ability to work share for Office if I install the Desktop App in Windows 8.1! Is the Select Preferences Obsolete with Windows 8.1.1?

Apps / Software :: OneDrive Windows 8.1 Sync Doesn't Work?

May 19, 2014

Whenever OneDrive tries to automatically sync its files (or manually too), there's a pop-up on the desktop saying: OneDrive Sync Engine Host - OneDrive Sync Engine Host has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Please close the program.

I have googled it a lot and tried the CMD command posted as a solution, but it didn't work unfortunately.

maybe fully reinstall OneDrive as it is a standard feature of Windows 8.1 Pro...

Apps / Software :: Disable OneDrive Sync Engine From Starting With Windows?

Jun 27, 2014

is there a way to completely disable the OneDrive Sync Engine process from starting up with windows? I can't find it in the startup menu. Sometimes when it loads it will lock up my computer for about ~5 mins until anything becomes responsive. I was able to grab a screen shot of the process loading in the notifications. I just would like to disable OneDrive 100% if possible (running Win 8.1, update 1) as I do not use that service for anything.

OneDrive Files Available Online Only

Jul 21, 2014

I've just worked with a friend set up his new Windows 8.1 Asus desktop. When we open the OneDrive folder using File Explorer, next to each file it says "Online only". On his old Windows 8 computer, it says "Available offline" next to each file. Is there someplace we need to change a setting to make the files available offline on the new computer?

SkyDrive Won't Sync In Windows 8.1

Oct 22, 2013

SkyDrive was working decently for me until recently. These last 2 weeks it stopped syncing. It won't sync my files and folders.

But, when I save a word document directly from Word 2013 to SkyDrive it is synced.

Cannot figure out what is the problem, checked all settings locally (my notebook) as well as online. I have Windows 8.1 (x64) RTM with all the lastest updates installed.

How To Stop Other PC Users From Seeing Onedrive Fold

Apr 6, 2014

I really like the onedrive PC feature from Microsoft. It allows to upload my work files seamlessly. But I do not want other PC users (different user accounts on the same computer) to access that folder. I know they might not be able to view the files but I also don't want them to see the content inside the folder.

Can it be done with the same old 'folder permission' settings? If yes, how to do that?

Apps / Software :: Sky / OneDrive Not Syncing?

Apr 2, 2014

Until the other day my drive was working perfectly. Since then I have made no changes to the system, but syncing has stopped. The drive icon constantly says checking for changes and then appears to crash. It has also started "finding files" and i am unable to change options to view online of offline while "setup is being completed" the trouble is it never completes... I can add docs etc from the web and it will sync on other PCs but my win 8.1 tablet refuses to play ball. I have spoken with Microsoft and they want me to pay for the solution (maybe). I have tried the troubleshooter but no luck.

OneDrive Files Will Not Open In Word For Editing

Jul 20, 2014

I recently downloaded OneDrive onto my two computers.

Computer #1
Desktop 2007 Dell with Windows Vista, Word 2007, &
IE 9.0.8112.16421IC

Computer #2
Laptop Acer 2013 with Windows 8.1, Word 2010, &
IE 11.09

On my old desktop the files can be opened in Word for editing with no problem but on the newer laptop my files will not open in Word for editing, only in Word Online. Editing this way messes up the formatting.

Tablets :: OneDrive Doesn't Have Option To Use Files Offline?

May 21, 2014

Just bought a Windows 8 tablet, and not knowing anything about it. Specifically what we were trying to do today was sync his documents from his desktop to the tablet. OneDrive seemed the easiest way to do that, so I installed the OneDrive app on his desktop and logged him in on the tablet. And there were the files. But the problem is, they're on the cloud, and he wants to be able to access them offline.

Through googling, I discovered that there is supposed to be an option in OneDrive to "make all files available offline," supposedly accessible through the Charms bar, under Settings -> Options. But alas, I followed all the directions everywhere, and that option was not there. I took an appropriate screenshot:

Similarly, there is no option to "make available offline" when I access options for individual documents within OneDrive (by swiping up or down).

Why is this option not where it is supposed to be?
