Your camera roll backup to OneDrive may not be turned on automatically on the MS-Surface after all

- Swipe from the right, tab on “Settings”, “Change PC Settings”.
- On the next page in the left menu, tab on “OneDrive”, and check:
- Turn it on. If necessary, start OneDrive, give it some time, then check in OneDrive whether your photos from your Surface camera get uploaded:
- My automatic camera roll backup may have been off
- due to an initial problem setting up OneDrive on my MS-Surface
- due to a path that was too long
- due to the fact that, in spite of trying the instructions to change this folder, my surface seems to insist on synching my OneDrive to a subfolder of my user folder: That, however, is a post for another day…

How to connect an MS-Surface RT to the secure campus wireless
2014/01/29

- This worked on a 1st generation Surface, but with Windows 8.1.
- No problem getting onto the UNCC49er network, but the Surface/Windows 8 is not supported on the NINERWifi-secure yet. Specifically, loading the automated configuration tools provided when first trying to access the NINERWifi-secure, fails on the RT platform.
- I received seemingly conflicting instructions:
- The campus website
- has for devices that are not supported manual configuration settings.
- Another campus that uses the same secure wireless provider has these instructions for Windows 8.
- I could piece it together from there,
- including any translation to (there is none needed that I could see which BTW actually amazes me) Windows 8 RT.
- Maybe the following would have worked also, but I did not try it since I was already in the middle of the above steps:
- Swipe in from the right-edge of the screen, and tap Settings. (If you’re using a mouse, point to upper-right corner of screen, move the mouse pointer down, and then click Settings.)
- Tap or click the wireless network icon Wireless network icon. A list of available wireless networks should appear.
- Look for the “Hidden Network” option and then choose it.
- When it prompts for a SSID, type in exactly: NinerWiFi-Secure
- It should then prompt for username/password (NinerNET credentials).
- Say yes to any certificates warnings that pop up.
- The campus website
