Checked out Files in Document Library Will Not Check in

We recently moves our SharePoint Installation to a new domain, and now any documents that were checked out at the time cannot be checked in or deleted.
When anyone(the original person that hecked out the file, or an administrator) tries to check the file in or discard checkout it says the file is already checked in. 
If anyone tries to delete or modify the file it says that it is checked out or locked for editing.
We changed both domain and authentication types, so technically, none of the old users even exist anymore.
Thanks

As a test, can you try logging into one of the libraries with these files as an admin and seeing if you can take ownership of it via the document library settings.  From here try checking it in again and advising what happens.

  • How to disable check in/check out in a document library?

    We have a library but would want to use it as regular network folder. Users don't want to see the check in/check out option. Is there a way to disable that? thanks in advance.

    If you want to disable both check in/ check out context menu items in the document library then see the following link which describes how to add custom menu items to a document library via a hidden "content editor web part". Add that to your web part page and add the following to the "source editor"
    <script language="javascript">
    function AddCheckinCheckoutMenuItem(m, ctx, url)
    {return;}
    </script>
    This will override the core.js function which adds these items to the context menu.

  • Document Check in /Check out permissions in document library share point 2010

    Hi ,
    I have created a approval work flow for document templates library .I need to create a group to have upload,amend changes through check in and check out.The group which has all rights can upload documents and amend new  changes which  other groups
    cannot do.Could any one tell me how to do this.

    Hi .NET User,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to create a group that allows user upload document through check in and check out.
    I suggest you can create a group with contribute permission level to achieve it.

  • What's the function of "Manage checked out files" in library settings?

    hi there,
    can anyone tell the function of "Manage checked out files " in library settings? it seems the place to manage all the checked out files in that library. but i can't see any one there. thanks in advance.
    allan

    Hi,
    The checked out files page will only show files which have no checked in version. It is a way for a library administrator to clean up a document library. Imagine you created a new document that was only checked out to you and had no checked in version. It wouldn't show up in list views for anyone else. You have to go to that page to delete this document.
    If you want to see all the checked out files in your library, you can create a new view and filter the view by “check out to” column (“check out to” column “is greater than or equal to” give a value like character A)
    Hope it can help you.

  • Editing XMP metadata in Bridge for checked-out files?

    Our custom connector does not implement the WRITE_XMP_METADATA Capability because we do not want to change the XMP of a file in our DAM system without checking in a new file version.
    However, when a file is checked out through Adobe Drive, we would expect to be able to edit its XMP metadata in Bridge just like we can for local files.
    It looks like this is still not possible with Adobe Drive 3, i.e. if your connector does not implement the WRITE_XMP_METADATA Capability you cannot edit XMP for checked out files either.
    It seems weird that you can edit XMP metadata for checked out files with regular CS applications but not with Bridge. Is this something that is expected to be fixed in a future version?
    Thanks

    In our design, editing XMP data in Bridge and in regular CS applications is different, the former one will be routed to SetXMPHandler in you connector, in the latter case, CS applications take the normal file writting ways to embed XMP data in the file content.
    The purpose of this design is to offer similar user experience for normal users when they edit XMP data for AD assets and local file assets, they don't need to check-out files first.
    To address your issue, I think you can add some codes in SetXMPHandler to auto check-out files before real XMP operation, and check-in them before exiting the handler
    We will consider to make some enhancements for this part, that's, to allow editng XMP data for the checked-out files in Br, in the next release, thanks for this advice.

  • Uploaded document via windows application does not show in document library, but as checked out Document

    Hi,
    A windows application uploads document to a document library programatically. Although they get added to the document library but are not shown there. Only when I go to the "Managed file that have no checked in verison" I see all the documents.
    This happens even though I have set "No Versioning" in the library settings. This is probably happening because I have added a few custom columns to the library.
    How can I avoid this situation and get to upload document which can directly be seen on the document library rather than first taking control of the doc and then checking it in?

    Hi,
    When uploading files without filling in some required columns, the files would appear in “Checked Out Files” page.
    To avoid this situation, you can modify that windows application to force users fill in the required columns or just define default values for those columns.
    You can take a look at the link below for more information:

  • PSS File Checks Out but Will not Check In

    Everytime I check out a project from Version Control, then
    check it all back in for another person to work on it, the PSS does
    not check in unless I go into RoboSource Explorer 3 Manually and
    UnCheck it. Is there a fix or something I am doing wrong
    here?

    Hi Jeffrey. I think there may be a fundamental problem in how
    you added your project to source control.
    To quote MergeThis from another post: "Apparently, these
    files should not be included in any source control solution: CPD,
    HHP, LDB, and PSS."
    The recommended way to add a project to RoboSource Control is
    to upload it directly from *RoboHelp,* not from RoboSource Control.
    RoboHelp knows which files do and don't belong in RoboSource
    Control. Adding projects to source control directly from RoboSource
    is usually the cause of this error...and in fact there are a bunch
    of other oddities that also crop up when you do this, too.
    If you added your project to source control via RSC rather
    than RH itself, I'd recommend starting over and uploading the
    project from RH. Mind you, if you are dealing with a DB converted
    from the previous RSC, then that might be a different story.
    Cheers,

  • RSC says I have files checked out, but when I try to check them in it says they're not checked out

    We are using RSC 3 to control RH7 projects. At the moment RSC says I have hundres of files checked out, but when I try to check them in it says they're not checked out. And then it says "No files were found to CheckIn." What could be causing this?
    I tried refreshing and rebooting my (client) PC, and it didn't help.
    Thanks.

    I am no pro at this product but when you look in source control, who does it say has those files checked out.  Does that user match the credentials that you use to connect to source control.  The only reason I ask this is, when I first set this up for my Publishers, I used the default admin account to connect to RSC.  Then I created accounts for them and went to their workstations to change credentials.  I changed the credentials but they had checked out some docs before that and could not check them back in because they were still checked out as admin. Had to change it back, have them check projects back in and then switch credentials.  Hope this helps.

  • When do Workflows fire for a Document Library that requires Check In?

    I have a SharePoint Designer workflow that is set to fire if the item is changed, and this workflow is running against a Document Library that requires Check In.
    So, the big question is, does the workflow fire if the document is checked out, and the properties are modified, but before the document is checked back in?  Or, will the workflow only fire after the document is checked back in?
    I understand that a workflow is asynchronous, and that a document could be modified and then checked in, and the workflow might only fire after that. What I want to know is whether the workflow will fire if the document properties are modified but the document
    is not checked in for some time.

    The workflow will fire only when the user checks in the document.

  • Unable to add aspx file to document library using REST and JSOM in SharePoint Hosted App

    Hi,
    I am unable to add an aspx file to document library.  I was actually trying to create a WIKI page and upload to Pages library but that wasn't working so I tried simple document library.  It keeps failing with Access Denied error.  I have checked
    the blocked types and aspx is not included.  I can upload it directly from the browser so that shouldn't be the case.  I have read that it can be achieved with CSOM but I need this to work with a SharePoint Hosted App.  Here is my JSOM:
    factory = new SP.ProxyWebRequestExecutorFactory(appweburl);
        context.set_webRequestExecutorFactory(factory);
        appContextSite = new SP.AppContextSite(context, hostweburl);
        oWeb = appContextSite.get_web();
        oList = oWeb.get_lists().getByTitle('Documents');
        fileCreateInfo = new SP.FileCreationInformation();
        fileCreateInfo.set_url("mywiki.aspx");
        fileCreateInfo.set_content(new SP.Base64EncodedByteArray());
        fileContent = "<%@ Page Inherits=\"Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.TemplateRedirectionPage,Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing,Version=15.0.0.0,Culture=neutral,PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c\" %> <%@ Reference VirtualPath=\"~TemplatePageUrl\"
    %> <%@ Reference VirtualPath=\"~masterurl/custom.master\" %>";
        for (var i = 0; i < fileContent.length; i++) {
            fileCreateInfo.get_content().append(fileContent.charCodeAt(i));
        newFile = oList.get_rootFolder().get_files().add(fileCreateInfo);
        context.load(newFile);
        context.executeQueryAsync(function () {
            alert('yo');
        }, function (sender, args) {
            alert(args.get_message() + '\n' + args.get_stackTrace());
    If I change the file extension to "txt", it works.  Same with REST implementation, it works with "txt" but fails with "aspx".  Maybe what I am trying to do will not work using JSOM or REST.  Any suggestions?  Your
    help is always appreciated.

    Your code works fine in both my on-premises and SharePoint Online. I have given the app full control, so I suspect this is a permissions issue. I would check your permissions on your appmanifest. Must be something to do with publishing permissions. Try
    giving full control and work the permissions down.

  • Document library is not receiving emails

    Dear all,

    Check if any thing changed since it was working. something like permission or update
    Does the app pool account has access to pick-up \ drop folder
    How is IIS SMTP configured

    Do you see
    E-mail cannot be delivered because site is over quota or locked for editing. Site URL:
    http://YourSiteURL.
    Go to the SharePoint Central Administration > Application Management > Configure quotas and locks > on the Site Quota Information section >  set a limit (i.e: 5000 MB) on this setting:  “Limit site storage to a maximum of:”  >
    and then press “OK”.
    http://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/62365/sharepoint-incoming-email-not-working
    It's not working because SharePoint adds a header to the email message called X-Mailer: SharePoint Foundation 2010, and the incoming email feature will not accept emails with that header. This is apparently by design.
    To make it work I will have to write some custom code to either take the X-Mailer header out of the email messages while they're waiting in the drop folder, OR add it to the InfoPath form's code-behind to use a System.Net.Mail method to send the form data
    instead of the standard email submit option.

  • Itunes Library will not open!!!!!    itunes Library will not open!!!!!

    Hello,
    This is very frustrating that hundreds of people view these questions and only a few people answer. The issue here is that my itunes Library will not open. I'd sure like to know what is causing this and if it's gone forever.
    WinXP. Pro.
    I have many Mp3 music files under the same playlist names as in my ipod, i:e: Country,Jazz,Blues,Classic Rock, Alternative,vocal,light sounds,etc. When I drag new mp3 music files into my ipod library,then sync to my ipod, Itunes makes a backup of itune music files in their folder..I think. Anyway, those mp3 muic files are still on the Hard drive,but I can not open up my itunes Library. is it Gone????
    Sooooooooooooooo...I was slap-happy in upgrading my itunes software for my 80GB fith gen ipod for the kick of it. I downloaded the new updates.then tried to open my itunes library and it wouldn't open...I hooked up my Ipod thinking that may help open up the Library,but nothing.
    I tried the system restore,nothing. I uninstalled itunes,then reinstalled the itunes/quicktime download from apple. I clicked on the itunes icon on the desktop a few times and then a few times more,nothing. I guess I'm missing the itunes.ink file to open this up. regardless, I went to the Windows/Start/programs/itunes...nothing again. Windows Explorer/C:/ program files/itunes...nothing.
    I was afraid when I uninstalled the itunes software from before,it would erase the itunes Library,but the music is still on my hard drive,I just can't open the itunes Library. At this point,I should buy an external hard drive and transfer all my Mp3 files and the itunes music files/podcasts/photos,wipe the hard drive,reinstall the O.S. and start all over again.
    I'm guessing I am out of options with this itune Libray. Any suggestions? Thanks, Jim

    Still unanswered. I'm still trying to install itunes so I could use the library. I am removing Mp3 files from my hard drive to free up space,so if I ever do get the itunes setup,I'll have to remove the SYNC and do the manual so I ONLY transfer Podcasts into the ipod and not lose them becuase of the unchecked boxes.
    Ok, I uninstalled EVERYTHING that has to do with Itunes/ipod from the computer..Add/remove programs, serch all files/folders,Windows Explorer,Start>All programs,the Itune reference. Turned off all my Firewall,spyware,and anti-virus,,downloaded the new 7.5 version Itunes/ipod...saved to desktop,installed the new software...then NADA! NOTHING! I can click on the shortcut desktop icon, and all the other ways to click the software open, but nothing. peole on other sites reccomend Tag and rename and use the Winamp media Library,because of all the lack of personal customer support APPLE lacks. I guess I was a Big FOOL to spend my hard earned $350.00 for this ipod.

  • Download files from document library in zip file using javascript

    Hi,
    I am developing SharePoint Hosted App which needs to download all the files in the document libraries of SharePoint site in a zip folder where in that zip file each document library should be a folder, in that folder the files of that document library will
    be shown. Currently I am display all the document library in a table with check boxes as shown in the below figure. Now when user selects the check boxes and click on download button, the selected document libraries along with the files should be downloaded
    in a zip folder. This should be achieved through javascript. Can anyone share me the code to solve this problem.
    Thanks & Regards,
