Master Data Services Add-in will not stay enabled

Using Excel 2013 x64 with the 2012 MDS add-in.
The master data services add-in works but when I shut down Excel, the add-in is soft disabled and I have to re-enable it every time I start Excel. I've tried disabling everything and then just enable MDS and that doesn't help.
How can I troubleshoot this? I can't roll out 2013 to my users if this problem persists.

I have finally found a solution for this problem! Every time I opened Excel (unless I ran as administrator) I would have to activate the MDS add-in; this was time-consuming and annoying. It seems like there was no solution posted online anywhere! Well
after much aggravation, I have finally found a solution:
Fixing the Microsoft MDS Excel Add-In so it Stays Enabled
Press the Start button (Windows button)
In the search bar type “REGEDIT”
Open regedit.exe
A pop-up will ask permission for the Registry Editor to make changes to the computer, select Yes.
In the Registry Editor expand HKEY_CURRENT_USER
In the HKEY_CURRENT_USER folder, expand in the following order: Software -> Microsoft -> Office -> Excel -> Addins
Select Microsoft.MasterDataServices.ExcelAddIn
Double-click on LoadBehavior in the right panel
In the Edit Value popup, change the value to
Press OK
Exit the Registry Editor
The excel add-in should now be active anytime you open Excel. If multiple errors occur while using the add-in, the Load Behavior may change back to 0. If that occurs simply follow these steps so the add-in will be active when Excel starts up.
I hope this helps some of you avoid the long hours of trying to find a solution to this silly problem.
Cheers!

Outlook 2013 add-in will not stay enabled

Everytime Outlook 2013 (windows) closes the add-in for iCloud changes to disabled. The only way I can sync calendars etc, is to manually enable the iCloud Add-in EVERY TIME I open Outlook. What's up with that? It used to work perfectly. I have been through all the help screens and nothing works.

Hello EFBenzal
If you are using Windows 8.1, then check out the article below to resolve the issue of iCloud becoming disable within Outlook.
iCloud: Windows 8.1 disables iCloud updates in Outlook, or "The set of folders cannot be opened. The information store could not be opened" appears

Master Data Services Add-in for Excel Issue

I am trying to configure MDS in the Production server. I am running into isssues.
(I was able to do the whole process successfuly in my local system - Versions are same in the local and server - Only difference is local machine is windows 7 server is Windows 2008 R2)
I have installed SQL server 2012 Enterprise Version SP1. I am able to browse the MDS URL. User has got full permissions. When I try to access the MDS via Excel I get the below error.
Can any one help me please I have spent days on this withou any joy.

Creatve IR remote will not stay enabled (RM1500) SB audig

The RM500?remote control will not stay enabled in ENT. settings. After rebooting PC I have go to settings and enable it. Does anyone have any Ideas? Thanks.SBaudigy 4

@ Ok, 2.5 years later but here's the solution: in C:\Program Files (x86)\Creative\Shared Files\Module Loader\RC System there's a file called RCSystem.CFG
You can set default options here. You need to set:
RunAtStartUp=
SupportWinApp=
And there you go, it's enabled by default!

Add on will not stay installed

I have been having an issue with Firefox 20 not keeping add-ons installed. Namely, Ad Block Plus... it will install fine, but when I close the browser, the add-on is not installed anymore. I have to install it everytime I open the browser.

It is possible that there is a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.
Delete the files extensions.* (e.g. extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Profiles
New files will be created when required.
See "Corrupt extension files":
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Unable+to+install+add-ons
If you see disabled, not compatible, extensions in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left end side of the Search Bar ("Find Updates" button in older Firefox versions) to check if there is a compatibility update available.
If this hasn't helped then also try to delete the addons.sqlite file.
Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?
Some security software has virtualization or sandbox features that may cause problems by protecting and restoring files in the Firefox profile folder.
There are other things that need your attention.
Your system details list shows that you have two Flash plugins installed:
# Shockwave Flash 11.7 r700
# Shockwave Flash 11.6 r602
You should remove the older Flash 11.6 version

Excel Macro to click on publish button of Master Data Services Add-in

I am creating an excel macro to perform extra validation and defaults whilst the user is editing the MDS entity. It will be added as a workbook add-in. At the end of the macro I would like to be able to launch publish. The MDS addin is a ribbon.
Does anyone have an example of how I can simulate a click on the Publish button or what the call that the button does is?

Master Data Services 2008 R2 UI not responding - Cannot create model

I have installed and configured MDS 2008 R2 and am able to access the UI using IE 11 however it doesn't respond.
I can:
see the home page
access System Administration but do not have the ability to add a model
access User and Group Permissions but when I click on the green cross to add a user IE spins for a second but
nothing happens.
I have checked that 3.5 and WCF is installed. The same user is the the admin for the DB, the application pool and the web service. I have activated logging and no errors are showing. This has me stumped - any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks

VGrace, is this still an issue?

Reader add-on will not stay in IE 10

I recently upgraded from IE 9 to IE 10. I cannot open .pdf files in IE 10, although I can save them to my desktop and open them from there. Firefox opens .pdf files.
I went to manage add-ons in IE 10, and Reader was not there. I re-installed Reader, then opened IE 10 and Reader was in the add-ons. I tried, and failed, to open a .pdf file in IE 10, and got a pop-up that Reader was unable to update - looked in add-ons and Reader was gone again.
Running Windows 7, IE 10, Acrobat XI Pro, Reader 11.0.06

Is the Reader add-on also missing if you show 'All add-ons'?

Acrobat and Shockwave will not stay enabled.

Each time I boot up my pc, I have to enable Acrobat and Shockwave. Uninstalling and reinstalling these programs does not fix the problem. I run Windows 7 and IE 10.

Other add-ons remain enabled?
After you enable them, then restart IE10, do they remain enabled?
You do not accidentally start IE with no add-ons? (Just checking possibilities; something is disabling these add-ons.)

Upgraded to latest Firefox version and ZOOM will not stay enabled on my Win 7 64 home.

After I upgraded to the latest version of Firefox on my PC, I could no longer view the small type on the pages (i.e. my Verizon General Message Email Account). I had to constantly use the ZOOM feature to bring up the size of the printed page and there was no way that I could "save" teh optimum viewing size (like I enjoyed previously). When I exited a page (i.e. INBOX) and returned, it defaulted to a very small type.
I tried to sue the RESTORE feature, but that did not help. I would exit the Browser and return, to no avail. The print size was always too small to view. Even here I have to ZOOM in order to see what I have typed.
PLEASE HELP !!!

'''I am an intermediate user when it comes to computers. I was overwhelmed to try and do the recommendations here. SO I kept going back in time until I was able to perform a System Restorm--AND THAT corrected the problem. I hope that solves the problem.
Thanks to Cor-el for your efforts.

Firefox 11.0 Personas are not staying enabled after restart of FF11

After updating Firefox 10.0.2 to FF 11.0, both of my PC's personas that I have will not stay enabled after restarting FF 11.0. I have tried different personas on each PC and they also will not stay enabled after a restart of the browser. FYI, I am still using the same extensions that I had used in FF 10.0.2 and there all up to date in FF 11.0, it's just this persona issue that bug me big time.
I've tried all the Knowledge Base help suggestions, but none have worked.
Any one else having this issue? Any on have a fix that worked?
Help!

The installed personas and the currently selected persona is saved as a pref in the prefs.js file in the Firefox Profile Folder, so there may be a problem with that file.
See:

Master Data Services not available under shared feature while installing SQL server 2012

Hi,
I am trying to install Master Data Services but do not see the option to select MDS under the shared features when going through the SQL server 2012 installation. I have the SQL server 2012 SP1 (64 bit) install files. I have also installed SP2. I havent
found anything online about the issue.
Can someone please advise?
I have a screenshot of the installation screen which I will attach as soon as I am able to get my account verified. Thanks!

Hi Revees,
This might be a very naïve and also out of the original scope of the thread question.
We are thinking of going with the developer edition. We have 2/3 developers and some other testers and business users.
1) I understand that we need a developer license for each developer. But would we need a license for the business user. Can they have a sort of read access to the dbs?
2) If a developer has MSDN subscription, Would they need to purchase the license too assuming we purchase the developer edition of the software (and not download it using the MSDN subscription)?
Thanks for your assistance!

Cannot view Master Data Services Models with Excel Add-In, using MSSQServer 2014 Trial and Excel 2010 (non-trial)

I'm using using MSSQServer 2014 Trial with Master Data Services installed. I have connected to the MDS server with the Excel 2010 MDS Add-In.
Models are not listed in the Add-In's Explorer browser. When I open the MDS server with IE, no models are listed either.
I can view them locally on the server in IE.
There are no remote DB access issues.
Is it just that the 2014 Trial version does not supply this info remotely??

Was a Model Permission issue. Fixed here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff487055.aspx
Would be good if the interface would show some kind of alert to that fact.

TS3988 I am not able to open the settings icon from my old iPAD. When I try to select the settings icon it looks like it's about to launch and open however; it will not stay open. I am trying to transfer all my data from my old iPAD to my new 4th gen iPAD

Try a soft reset - press the home and power bottons and keep them pressed until the Apple logo comes on. Then see if you can access Settings.

Match Data dialog window in Master Data Services Excel Add-in

I click the Match Data button in the ribbon in step 21. According to the tutorial the Match Data dialog window should look like this:
However, the Match Data dialog window I have looks like this:
Am I doing something wrong? Or am using a different version of the Master Data Excel Add-in?
I use SQL Server 2012 Developer Edition version 11.0.3000. Master Data Excel Add-in 11.0.2100. Excel 2010. Both Master Data Services and Data Quality Services are installed. Integration between those is configured. I have a full Master Data ribbon containing
the Data Quality buttons, which indicates DQS integration is configured.

Hi Arjen,
I seem to be having the same issue i.e the Match

Don't know if you got anyhere with the issue recently.?
I'll keep digging.
