Critical issues copy for Live Mesh forums
Last Updated: 12/15/2008
Issue: I've installed the Live Mesh for Mobile client on my mobile device, but when I try to sign in I'm told there is limited availability, and I cannot add my device at this time.
Workaround: In order to add your mobile device to your mesh, you must do both of the following:
- Click on the promo code link from your computer (not your mobile device).
- Visit www.mesh.com from your computer (again, not from your mobile device) and add that device to your mesh from the Devices page.
Note: Please make sure that your Country/Region is correctly set on your Live ID profile page (http://account.live.com).
Issue: I cannot delete Live Mesh folders using my mobile phone.
Workaround: Deleting Live Mesh folders from a mobile device is not supported. You must delete the folders from your mesh using your computer instead.
Issue: Deleting a file on your mobile device deletes it on every synchronized device.
Workaround: When you use your mobile phone to delete a file from your Live Desktop, you delete it everywhere. You can recover the file from the Recycle bin on your PC or the Trash on your Mac.
Issue: I cannot synchronize a Live Mesh folder, for which I have reader permissions, with my mobile device.
Cause: To synchronize a folder with your mobile phone, you must have creator, owner, or contributor permissions for that Live Mesh folder.
Issue: Live Mesh error reporting is not enabled by default.
Workaround: To enable reporting, connect the phone to the PC or Mac, navigate to the Settings menu, select Error Reporting and set it to Enable.
Issue: Copy and Paste is not enabled for Live Mesh Mobile.
Fix Status: Future builds may contain this feature.
Issue: Settings and credentials may be reset after upgrading the client.
Fix Status: The next release will contain a fix for this issue.
Issue: Unable to resolve file conflicts on mobile devices.
Workaround: Resolving conflicts from your mobile device is not currently supported. To resolve file conflicts use the Live Mesh Desktop.
Issue: During installation you may see the following message: “Cleanup of previous version failed, do you want to continue?”.
Workaround: Cancel the installation, turn off your phone, then turn it back on and start the installation over.
Issue: Synchronization stopped with your mobile device.
Workaround: If you exceed the storage limits of your mobile device, synchronization will stop for that folder on all devices until the space issue is resolved. Please Note: You must have at least 10% free memory on your mobile device for synchronization to take place.
