Microsoft Account - Attention Required

[jwckauman]

My Microsoft Account is saying "attention required". When I click SYNC nothing happens. When I click the account, I get a Hotmail error with the 8007005 code. Any ideas?

I had that problem for about a month straight. I decided to flash another rom on my AT&T L920, which essentially erased everything on my phone, and my Microsoft account began to work after that--similar to a hard reset. So I think you know where I'm going with this one... you may have to hard reset your phone. If you do, be sure to backup all your info before the hard reset.

I'm having that issue today. I had this issue back about a year ago and found a solution to turn off the back ups for my text messages. That worked. Trouble is, my text back ups are turned off in 8.1 and now I'm getting this error.

I had the same problem but cleared it on my Windows 7 Lumia 800 by deactivating the Authenticator second security confirmation option which I have recently accepted as an extra security precaution when on pcs. My windows phone however did not like it.
.
As soon as I deactivated in windows live, the Attention required warning in my settings Windows live section disappeared and things started working again on my phone.

Hope this helps

RESET your microsoft account password then enter new password and sync it will surely work

I just upgraded my Lumia 520 from Windows 7 to 8.1. Under Settings/email+accounts, the Microsoft account says "Attention required". But pressing the alert gives no response. Now my calendar does not sync w/ my outlook calendar anymore. Please help.

Is your date, time, timezone, region correct?
