Help! Upgraded to Windows10...

eddyandme — Tue, 29 Sep 2015 01:11:11 GMT

...and, lost my email! message says it's not synced. Can anyone tell me how to sync it? Also, unable to set up favorites - the star (add to favorites), but then cannot find them! Should have stayed with 8, but was hoping 10 would be better -- wrong

I just recently upgraded and it's a pain in the b###! Your favorites are at the right side on your browser bar line. it's the icon with three lines=, I know it makes no sense to me either. Good luck!

I hate Cortana. Other than that, it's ok.

@eddyandme. Maybe if you log off and log back on, your emails will appesr.

I upgraded and had no problems, actually am so used to it I can't remember what the other was like. I had 8.1. The only issue is some sites won't allow emoticons unless I use IE instead of the Edge. I just have both in my bar. As said, the three little lines up in the right corner will allow you to use your Favorites - there is a way to click and import them all. Or, they will still be in your old browser, IE in my case.

I had no problems with e-mail. Maybe yours will just take a time to synch and move over.

Good luck, I was pretty scared but my son and my bosses told me to go for it. And I did. Actually love it.

The setting(s)did not install properly when you upgraded to Window 10. http://www.groovypost.com/howto/add-gmail-email-windows-10-mail-app/

If you need more help, go to your email provider and check the setting.

Does anyone know if the issue with iTunes not working with Windows 10 has been fixed? I've downloaded it but not installed it yet since I heard about the iTune issues. TIA

I refuse to upgrade! Heard too many stories like these about the problems. If your browser works fine as is, let it be. I'm still on Windows 7 and love it.

I've had no problems with iTunes. I upgraded from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10; my computer was a year old Dell; I've been using Windows 10 for 2 months now and liking it.

You can turn Cortana off. Just type "Cortana" in your task search bar and it'll give you Cortana settings and from there you have the option to turn it off (thus protecting some of your privacy).

I actually like Cortana.

I upgraded and then had to revert to Windows 8.1. I got stuck in airplane mode. No Internet connection. Cannot explain that one. I am not going to try again believe me.

Thank you for your response! I'm also on 8.1 so I may give it a go. If it doesn't work for me, I'll go back to 8.1. I have an HP laptop that is a little over a year old so hopefully things will work out ok.

Thanks, I email rocketmail yesterday and waited for a callback which never came. I'll try to contact yahoo today; if that d/n work, I'll just create a new email - which is a pain to change everything and my folders will be lost. Enough time wasted. But. thanks for your helpful advice.

Re: Help! Upgraded to Windows10...

eddyandme — Tue, 29 Sep 2015 18:50:56 GMT

Well, still no rocketmail, only a message they're still trying to sync. Signed up for hotmail and got message something went wrong and to try again later.....is this windows 10 a joke

I'd really think long and hard before upgrading if you aren't 100% sure. More often than not, when upgrading to another operating system, when you go back (or try to) you end up with some things being corrupted and some things lost, etc.

I did an operating sytem upgrade once and that was enough for me. I am totally glad for those for whom it has worked out well, as I'm sure it's not always a bad proposition. But where you might be stretching your luck is going back to the old OS. Just an FYI and maybe something additional to think about.

I agree, Chickenbutt, definitely something to continue thinking about! Only one computer in our office has been upgraded to 10 from 7 and I haven't used it too much. Of course, I don't have iTunes on my laptop at work (since against office policy to have personal stuff) so I haven't been able to test it there. I'm going to continue thinking on it . . . .

CAN'T BELIEVE THIS!!!!! Now I just got a message flashed on my screen that my Outlook email a/c is out of date (that's the one provided by Windows 10!).

So now I have no email whatsoever!!!

Thank You, Windows 10!

The software needs to be updated.

@bonnielu

Did you call Microsoft? # is online (afraid Q might remove this if I post it). They were unable to get my rocketmail back (were locked out) so after 2 1/2+ hrs, gave me a # to call for rocketmail to ask them to upgrade my email a/c and call them if necessary. Called that # got recording to leave a message...didn't; think I'll just assume my folders are lost and will have to use my outlook a/c. But, they should be able to get you out of airplane mode. Anyways, hope they can help you out.
