WP7 error “The Windows Live ID service is unavailable right now”

[Hammond]

While updating applications, I got this message "The Windows Live ID service is unavailable right now. Try again later" I am getting this message from the month now . I have approximately 21 pending update although each time I click update I am get this message Can any of you guys show me in the right direction? This is really very frustrating and I have no idea is it why this is happening

I think this will help you all you need to do is Just Log on to Hotmail/Live account then change your password

• On your handset, just go to Settings and then Email and Accounts
• Hit as well as hold on your ‘Windows Live’ account then click ‘Synchronies‘
• An error message will appear in red that says ‘Attention Required’
• Hit on the ‘Windows Live’ account after that enter the fresh password
• Synchronies once more and that must now fix the issue.

I would like to know what phone is it that you getting this error so that I can guid you better although all windows phone has the same setting

1. In the Settings just Scroll down to find email and accounts section.
2. This is the place where you can configured hotmail i.e. live.com ids.
3. Click in the one which is not working this will show the WINDOWS LIVE SETTINGS
4. Just check the server setting are proper this setting Varies as per different countries .

I hop e this will solve your problem. If not, just let me know if this solve the issue or not , if not I will guide you further.

i believe you required to reset your handset so that the live id settings can be remove. It is unfortunate that Microsoft has not been updated with wp7 os. Nevertheless, if you are prepared to reset the handset just take the back up so that you can restore it later in the mean time I will try to find what is the other alternative. Update me on the same.

This is the proper solution because I think that your account must be locked out, password wrong I have a friend had to reset his password after getting the exact similar message as you
