    SkyDrive Offline

    Yes. From the Desktop right-click SkyDrive folder and there's an option to move it in there (new with 8.1).

    100% Typing 8.1 Bug for sure with type cover or virtual Keyboard

    Not happened on mine. Do you have key sounds enabled? Does it make the click noise for those keys?

    How do I sync my windows 8 desktop apps to my surface pro?

    I can't remember if it's 8.1 specific, but in the Settings for SkyDrive you can enable sharing of apps between devices under Sync Settings. I think 8.1 should be out this week(?). You'll need both devices to be signed into the same SkyDrive account I assume. Much the same as having multiple iOS...

    ADOBE HACKED: 3mil accounts & source code compromised.

    Somebody's in for a sacking. On the plus side, at least the user info was encrypted. And not mine.

    Just bought a microSDXC card and it's not working with my Surface!

    You'd have to REALLY need 128GB to pony up GBP500

    If you go into the Updates screen, there's an option to View Details (or something similar) and it'll list all the updates that are applicable.

    SD Card Always Disconnected After Windows Unlocks

    Mine did something similar until I reformatted it as NTFS (think it was exFAT before) and it's been fine since.

    Phone connection to original Surface but no internet

    First thoughts are that your new phone supplier doesn't allow tethering. Test the Surface with a phone that you know works, and vice versa, to see if the problem is the Surface or the phone.

    Surface 2 is superior to Surface Pro 2, except for one big thing

    8 or 8.1? Browsing in 8.1 is much improved (but still not perfect).

    Did You Know That Hiding Under Kickstand of RT is a MicroSD Card Reader?

    I had a friend who swore blind his didn't have a slot. Had to put him right on that. Surely it's shown in the Getting Started guide that everyone reads ;)

    Refreshing 8.1 Beta?

    I think I got an SMS advising I'd added the "new" device. All apps downloaded/arranged themselves on the homescreen as before (there's an option somewhere in PC Settings to back that config up to SkyDrive, so it must have just grabbed it all back from there). Some apps understandably needed me...

    No Pop3

    To be fair, how old is POP3? There probably are some valid use-case scenarios, but I don't think I've seen anyone use it for over 10 years.

    Homegroup Printer Drivers

    Not 100% sure, but on the PC the printer is connected to/shared from, view the printer properties and look for the drivers tab. Should be an option to install additional drivers. You'll want to install 32 bit drivers in there for your Surface to be able to install.

    Refreshing 8.1 Beta?

    I did the full wipe the other day (Outlook.com finally let me change my primary alias to one I wanted, but Surface kept displaying the "old" one and it was really bugging me). Had no issues, everything worked just fine.

    External Keyboard and mouse on SP

    What do you mean by "splitter"? I've not got a Pro, but I'd have thought any connected USB hub would allow both devices to be connected. There was a link to one custom designed to fit the SP on here somewhere I think. Bluetooth is the way to go though.

    New Member with Q's

    Welcome and all that. If you're running IE11 on another machine, the Favourites will sync across. Not sure about importing them, they just synced across for me. For SMS I use a mobile phone.

    Gmail account in Mail App

    Does it give any error? What sort of "trouble"?

    Got the wedge mouse and keyboard

    I've had the Wedge mouse for a while and it's pretty good. Downside being the right-click needs to be more precise than I'd like and that the power button keeps getting pressed by accident in the bag. My Wedge keyboard arrives today - I get a good price as I'm in the trade :) Will see how I go...

    Considering Buying RT 64 GB

    You'll get a UK charger. But the 3-pin UK attachment bit to it connects to the actual charger with a standard connection (I forget the exact name, but the figure-of-eight type plug (looking end on) that's common for portable appliances). You can do what I did and just buy a cable with your...
