  1. Microsoft account and WIN 8 Phone.


    So to sum up the problem I am currently having, in simple words;

    I've had a XBOX console for a while now and my account has so far worked brilliantly. Although the email which was used to create my first account is very old and I am barely using it as we speak.

    Only recently I've got my first Windows Phone and registered under a new email which I now frequently use. The problem is that I can't seem to change the email for my gamertag (XBOX) to the one I am using now on my phone so the account can work properly
    on both console and phone.

    Additionally, when I attempt to change the email manually from my console, it gives me notice that the email I would like to switch to has already a gamertag associated with it, in fact the one I am using to create this topic with.

    If you could throw out any solutions for my problem, I'd be more than obliged as I am currently a little bothered with this situation.

    Thanks!

    :)

  2. Missing Win Phone 8 music in Music App in Win 8

    Hi,

    I am a Xbox Music Pass subscriber and downloaded the album "This is War" by 30 Seconds to Mars on my Nokia Lumia 920. I then connected my Lumia 920 to my desktop PC (Windows 8 Pro) and saved the music to the My Music folder. The problem is that when I go
    into the Music app on my PC, I do not see the artist or album listed. I have gone into the Charms > Settings > Preferences and set all of the options to On. The music is there in My Music in Windows Explorer. To make matters worse, it looks like all of the
    other music previously saved to the PC shows in the Music app but none of the artists that begin with a number like 10,000 Maniacs show there. Help!



    Thanks,

    Paul McDonald

    Microsoft account and WIN 8 Phone.

    The email on your phone has created a new Xbox GamerTag, which is why you cannot put the console's GT on the phone's email address. As this is what you want to do, you will want to move the phone's GT onto a third email address, then you will be able to
    move the console's GT onto the phone's email.

    Note: for security reasons there will be a 30-day waiting period between some of these steps.

    More details can be found at this link:

    support.xbox.com/.../switch-gamertag-to-different-microsoft-account

    For the purpose of clarification: the Microsoft Account is the email address you use for the Xbox Live profile.

    Let us know how you get on with this, or if you have any further questions.

    Microsoft Sudoku App

    If you are on windows 8 then this is why

    Win 8 = Windows 8

    WP = Windows Phone

    • Microsoft Minesweeper (Win 8)

      Microsoft Taptiles (Win 8)

      Microsoft Mahjong (WP)

      Microsoft Minesweeper (WP)

      Microsoft Solitaire Collection (WP)

      Microsoft Sudoku (JP) (Win 8)

      Microsoft Treasure Hunt (Win 8)

      Microsoft Mahjong (Win 8)

      Microsoft Solitaire Collection (Win 8)

      Microsoft Jigsaw (Win 8)

      Microsoft Sudoku (Win 8)
    These titles were delisted late last year but have still been playable for existing owners. That's set to end on April 5th, so you're on the clock now if you still have achievements left to mop up in any of these games. The Windows 10, MSN Games, iOS, and Android versions of these games remain unaffected, but not all of those support achievements. Since last we reported on this closure, Taptiles (Win 8) has been added to the list, while Microsoft Bingo will be closing on all platforms on the same day.

    Sync music on Win 8 phone

    Are you using the Phone app or the Windows Phone app for Desktop? There's two versions you can use to transfer music. You could also use Windows Media Player for transferring data. It's also fantastic for making playlists.

    pocketnow.com/.../how-to-sync-windows-phone-8-automatically
    is the link I found on how to auto sync music.

    You could also try the mass transfer protocol to drag and drop your music collection - this method does NOT work with DRM protected (like the Music Pass) music.
