Error to update calendar

there are several days for this problem. After I reinstall Windows Live Mail
software, I found that same calendars of my account disappeared. what's
more, when I sync the information, a note come out below:
Sorry, we can't sync your calendar because the web calendar service isn't
available right now. We'll sync your calendar as soon as the service becomes
available again.
who can talk me what is going on?
thank you!

There may be a temporary problem with the calendar server at
Live.com. It happens, so try again tomorrow.

Now this really is a long shot, which may have nothing to do with
your problem. However, I experienced the same problem several
weeks ago, when I tried to add family birthday reminders in
WLMail.

Have you created any personal calendars in WLMail (using the add
calendar option). If so, you could try the following:

Open WLMail, and select the calendar page.

Use your web browser and navigate to "calendar.live.com". Sign
into your calendar. Incidentally, it is important to use the
same live identity that you used, when you signed in via Windows
Live Mail.

Compare the local list of calendars with the web-based list of
calendars. Any discrepancy between the names of personal
calendars can prevent synchronization. In my case, I discovered
that I had two different birthday calendars with similar names.

The first one had been generated automatically from data in my
Contacts List. You cannot change that calendar name or add or
delete any entries.

The second one was a personal calendar in which, I had recorded
birthdays of those people who were not on my email contacts list.

I renamed the personal birthday calendar, which became my
"Personal Birthday List". Renaming the calendar resolved the
problem.

Thanks for your suggestions. My calendars have up to date. Yet there I found
that some of Chinese calendar isn't show in the Windows Live Mail but is OK
through Web browser. I don't know why.

So there is a Chinese calendar in your web-based identity - but
not in WLMail. That is very strange, particularly if you did not
create the Chinese calendar yourself.

Is there any possibility that the Live server could have recorded
an incorrect (Chinese) location against your Live ID? And are
you using an English language version of your operating system
(Windows or Vista)?

I really am guessing here, and there are no guarantees that any
of the following suggestions will work. However, inability to
synchronize the local and web-based calendars can be caused by a
mismatch between the calendar names.

Firstly, use your browser to sign into your identity at
login.live.com. Check the registered information (particularly
your location) and make sure the details are correct. Then, sign
out from your identity at live.com.

Next, sign into your web-based calendar at calendar.live.com -
and check that the Language and Time Zone on the web-based
calendar are correct. Also, inspect the content of the "Chinese"
calendar. If the Chinese calendar includes entries you need to
keep, move them to a different calendar. Then, try to delete the
Chinese calendar from the web interface - and sign out from the
web.

Finally, check that your local computer has the correct regional
settings (in Control Panel and also in WLMail). Reboot. Open
WLMail and try to synchronize the calendars again.

You are quite right. I checked today - and that certainly seems
to be recent development.

However, a User still cannot add, edit or delete entries from the
Live generated Birthday Calendar.

The OP has discovered that there is a "Chinese" calendar within
his Live identity on the central server - which is not visible
via WLMail. I have responded separately to that revelation.

If it's online and you don't see it in WLM, click on an existing calendar.
The dropdown list will have the item "Add hidden calendars". It will be
enabled if there *is* a hidden calendar, greyed if there is none.

As for the birthday calendar, I thought it worked with the Contact list and
pulls the birthdays from the Birthday field automatically?

That is correct.

If the Contact List associated with a Live Identity includes
birthday details, then Birthday calendar will pull the birthdays
into the calendar. That happens automatically. I believe it
also happens, if one of your contacts has recorded the birthday
in his/her "Live" public profile

But if your 80-year-old "Uncle Arthur" is not in your Contact
List (perhaps he doesn't have an email address), then you cannot
add Uncle Arthur's birthday to the calendar manually - via the
web interface or via WLMail.

Ah, but you can add Uncle Arthur as a contact, even if he doesn't have an
address. WLM is not going to check to see if the email address is there or
real... It'll just be a contact you'll never use. Fill in what ya want,
including birthdays and it's in there. I think you can define a category
within the Contact list such as "Non-Mail", for example.

It is just as easy to create a customised calendar in WLMail for
non-email birthdays. Enter each birthday, and set it to recur
every 12 months. That works OK (unless Uncle Arthur was born on
29th February).
