Visual upgrade is disabled

Hi,
I have a site collection that i've migrated from 2010 to 2013 and Im trying to run the visual upgrade from Site Setting > Site collection administrators > Visual upgrade, but both buttons are disable althought i'm site collection administrator
or logged in as farm admin.
Any thoughts?
Thanks a lot in advance

Visual Upgrade was to upgrade a site from 2007 to 2010. If you originally upgraded from 2007 to 2010 that may be why you are still seeing the Visual Upgrade Link. But in 2013 Upgrade is no longer done using the Visual Upgrade process. You
should now see a Site Collection upgrade link under the Site Collection Administration section of Site Settings. The page at that link looks like this:

Missing the visual upgrade option on SP 2010 site

I have a series of content databases that were upgraded from MOSS 2007. Most have not yet undergone the visual upgrade.
Today, I have been working on copying two of those sites to a new location.
I created two new team sites. These of course already had the visual upgrade.
I did an export-spweb of the two old sites. I then did an import-spweb of the two old sites into the new sites that I created.
The result is the two old style GUI in the new location.
When I took a look at the site settings (as a farm admin) I do not see an option to perform the visual upgrade on the sites.
I know that there are powershell commands that I can execute when the time is right.
I don't understand, however, where the visual upgrade option went.
Hmm - I just went back to the original sites that were copied and they too do not have the visual upgrade option in the site settings.
The top level site does, however, have that option.
Odd...

But export-spsite won't help.
1. These sites were being copied from one part of a site collection tree to another branch in the same site collection.
2. As I mentioned at the end of my posting, it turns out that the original sites had also lost their visual upgrade menu item - how, I do not know.
Because of these two factors - and maybe others - I was hoping there was a "simple fix" for this. But if there is not, then I just have to live wtih that.

Visual Upgrade in SharePoint 2013 is taking more time!!!

Visual upgrade from UI in SharePoint 2013 is taking hell amount (20+ hrs) of time. My content DB size is around 80 GB. Can you please help us how to reduce
this timing.
will running power-shell command makes difference?

Do not do this. Shrinking the database will, if anything, make it take longer. Removing content from the database by purging recycle bins etc. isn't a bad idea but 'Shrinking' in the sense of running ShrinkDB is a completely different thing. It's one of
those places where the lanugage used is very important.
Also, there isn't a visual upgrade in 2013, are you sure you don't mean the deferred site collection upgrade?

How to get log of Visual Upgrade in SharePoint 2010

I want to retrieve detailed information on visual upgrade performed for a SP 2007 subsite to upgrade look & feel.
Is there a way to find out info about who and when visual upgradation activity was performed?

HI Ripon,
here you are the path

SharePoint 2013 visual upgrade: Behind the Scene

Hello,
I recently migrated site collection from SharePoint 2010 to SharePoint 2013. But is not visually upgraded yet. I wanted to create evaluation site collection before actual upgrading. My questions are:
1) Will it create a new Web application?
2) Will it extend a the existing web application?
3) will it create only a new site collection? If yes, will the size of content database become double?
I am worried about the size of content database, as my DB is almost 50 GB and haven't much space left.
any help would be really appreciated.

Hi Rizwan,
Evaluation Site Collections is a new feature in the SharePoint 2013 upgrade story. Evaluation Site Collections lend site collection administrators the ability to try out the 2013 version of their site collection before actually upgrading the production site
collection’s UI and content.
An upgrade evaluation site collection creates an upgraded version of the site in a new, separate copy of the site that is running on SharePoint 2013. Unlike visual upgrade in SharePoint Server 2010, the upgrade evaluation site collection is a complete copy
of the site collection, separate from the original. Actions taken in the upgrade evaluation do not affect the original site.
Evaluation site collections have a default expiration period of 30 days. And the evaluation site collection will also automatically be deleted when its parent production site collection is upgraded.
More information, please refer to the links:

Visual Upgrade SiteDirectorySettings.aspx issue

After completing a SharePoint 2007 to 2010 migration I perfomed a Visual Upgrade on my site collections. I noticed that the Site Directory Settings page (SiteDirectorySettings.aspx ) in the site settings section is not
rendering properly. It looks like it is still trying to render using the old SharePoint 2007 look/feel.
Has anyone else noticed this issue?
Repo steps:
Database attach migration from 2007 to 2010
Perform Visual Upgrade
Go to Site Actions, Site Settings, choose Site Directory Settings under the Site Collection Administration grouping

Work around I have used for this is
Go to 14 hive/Template/Layouts directory
Put sitedirectorysettings.aspx file in edit mode.
Look for page directive (most probably the first line of the page) and attribute named
MasterPageFile with value "~/_layouts/application.master".
Just change that value to "v4.master" and save it.
refresh the sitedirectory page (http://site_url/_layouts/SiteDirectorySettings.aspx) and it should be using v4.master as master page.
After:
<%@ Page language="C#" MasterPageFile="v4.master" Inherits="Microsoft.SharePoint.Portal.SiteAdmin.SiteDirectorySettings,Microsoft.SharePoint.Portal,Version=14.0.0.0,Culture=neutral,PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c" %>
P.S.: I tried to use DynamicMasterPageFile attribute but it does not work as this property does not exists on page that inherits 'Microsoft.SharePoint.Portal.SiteAdmin.SiteDirectorySettings'. If anyone has idea to make it dynamic, please share with us.
Parser Error Message: Error parsing attribute 'dynamicmasterpagefile': Type 'Microsoft.SharePoint.Portal.SiteAdmin.SiteDirectorySettings' does not have a public property named 'dynamicmasterpagefile'.

How to update SP2010 sites that are missing the Visual Upgrade options

So, we are moving towards upgrading some SP 2010 sites that are currently using the old SP 2007 look and feel so that they have the new ribbon Visual Upgrade.
For some reason, some of these sites do not have the Site Actions > Visual Upgrade option nor do they have the Site Actions > Site Settings > Visual Upgrade link.
Does anyone know what can be done to make those available?
Thank you.

Even when I take a look at
http://myfarm/sites/Support/dept1/_layouts/prjsetng.aspx?Source=http%3A%2F%2Fmyfarm%2Fsites%2FSupport%2Fdept1%2FPages%2Fdefault%2Easpx
which is where the site actions > visual upgrade link should take the user, that page does not have the visual upgrade options on it.

SharePoint 2007 – 2013 migration List view webpart still shows 2010 look and feel even after visual upgrade run successfully in 2013.

I migrated one site collection from 2007 to 2013 environment. I did Visual upgrade on both 2010 & 2013 successfully. We have a strange issue with Listviewwebpart with group by functionality still shows 2010 look and feel.
If I manually edit that webpart and click ok the Listviewwebpart UI is showing the 2013 Look and feel. However I can’t manually update all the webparts because there are nearly
1500 subsites. I tried using console to update webpart but still not lucky
Following is 2010 look and feel in sp 2013 site:
expected look and feel should be as follows in sp 2013
Thanks, Ram Ch

Hi ramch011 ,
For your issue, you can force through an upgrade to the new user interface by using Windows PowerShell:
Verify that you meet the following minimum requirements: See Add-SPShellAdmin.
On the Start menu, click All Programs.
Click Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Products.
Click SharePoint 2010 Management Shell.
At the Windows PowerShell command prompt, type the following command:
$webapp = Get-SPWebApplication http://sitename
foreach ($s in $webapp.sites)
{$s.VisualUpgradeWebs() }
For more information, see Get-SPWebApplication

SP-2007 to SP-2013 Upgrade - Visual Upgrade?

Hi,
We will upgrading the existing SP-2007 application to SP-2013 using database attach method. The current SP-2007 application is using custom master page.
So the approach is, we will first upgrade from SP-2007 to SP-2010 then to SP-2013. I would like to know if I have to do Visual upgrade in 2010 environment before I take the SQL database backup of SP-2010 application, or I can do the UI upgrade
only once after I move to SP-2013?
Thanks,
Pat

I'm not 100% positive of the answer, but I think you would need to do that. More importantly I definitely believe you will have fewer issues if you upgrade fully at the 2010 level.

After Mavericks upgrade, I disabled iCloud / iCal connection. Now I can't make any changes to my calendar

I had multiple bad experiences with my iPhone using iCloud and when I upgraded, realized too late, that my computer was now going to be tied to the Cloud. After I recovered from the stress-induced, post-tramatic syndrome from my iPhone / iCloud experience, and verifying that I would not lose all my calendar entries, I disabled the Calendar connection for iCloud in System Preferences. Checked around iCal and nothing looked amiss.
Then I went to schedule a new event. Right click, the New Event window pops up and before I have the opportunity to type, a window pops up with this message: "There was an error saving calendar data. Calendar encountered a critical error while saving to the database, and recent changes may be lost. More information may be available in the console."
And left in my calendar is an entry called "New Event" that I cannot edit (I've tried using the menu as well as clicking). I tried deleting the event with this window popping up: "You can't change events in the "Home" calendar. Only the calendar administrator and any delegates with permission can make changes to read-only calendars. To make changes to the calendar, contact the calendar administrator."
Me, I'm the calendar administrator and sole owner & user of this computer. Theoretically, "Home" should be me, not, as I suspect, some evil remnant of the Cloud sticking around to haunt me.
Question #1 ??? How do I fix this without connecting to iCloud again
Question #2 What is the console and where do I find the information referenced?
Question #3 How do I make myself the administrator, especially when I thought I already was the administrator?
Thank you.
I'm on a MacBook Pro OSX Version 10.9.2

Nevermind. After digging around some more in the Support community, I tried restarting my computer. Problem solved. After the mess iCloud made of my iPhone, it didn't occur to me that the fix would be something so simple for my computer.

Best practice to secure database during patching/upgrade-Vault disabled

I have a highly confidential system and to protect the data in the DB, I intend to use Oracle Vault. In my company, we have centralized services and therefore, the oracle Unix owner and sysdba are owned by this group, not the application dba that "knows" the system (me).
The problem I have is what would be the best way to protect my data from the sysdba user during the window that Vault is disabled?
I thougth maybe I could un-mount and file protect the tablespace from the Unix oracle user during the upgrade process, but the tablespace could be outdated when I remount it after the patch. I am not sure how I might patch it seperatley. I am thinking I might export and drop the schema during the patching, then load it back in when vault is enabled again. This will work for a year or so, but I envision the databases getting too large to do this efficiently.
Does anyone have any thoughts on how I might protect the data in this scenario?
Edited by: user4714217 on Oct 20, 2008 11:06 AM for clarity

Hi,
I did not understood your question properly, but the thing which I understood is like you do not want any other user to access the database when your security vault is disabled.
At that time you can
1) Start the database in restrict mode (only a sysdba can do it).
2) Change the password/lock the user till the time your patching activity is going (any user with dba role can do it, so might be not so useful)

WLC Upgrade problems (disable unit)

Hello.
I am complete rookie in the wireless area. I have to implement a mesh wireless network and a WLC 4404 was given to me.
I started the WLC, configured a few IPs, country, etc, and then I rebooted the unit.
When rebooting I got this error, when services are starting:
- Starting LOCP: LOCP Key not found (error).    (after this the WLC stops and I can´t do anything more)
I then decided to upgrade the image via CLI, while pressing the ESC button on startup (from 5.1.151.0 to K9-6-0-182-0.aes) and getting the following menu:
    Boot Options
Please choose an option from below:
1. Run primary image (version 5.1.151.0) (active)
2. Run backup image (version 5.1.151.0)
3. Manually update images
4. Change active boot image
5. Clear Configuration
Please enter your choice:
I chose option 3, put some IPs and before upgrading it stated the following:
You have entered:
IP address     : 192.168.1.1
Netmask        : 255.255.255.0
Gateway        : 192.168.1.10
Server IP Addr : 192.168.1.10
Is this Correct (Y/n)? y
!!! WARNING updating using .aes or unapproved files will disable this unit !!!
So the WLC doens´t boot and I can not upgrade to an .aes image, but all images are .aes.
Any ideias on how to upgrade the RTOS of the WLC to 6-0-182-0.aes, or on how to boot it normally with the original image?
Thanks in advanced,
Joao Ribau
P.S. - does anyone know of a good doc on mesh networks?

I think (emphasis on the word "think") I may know where the problem lies.
You said "implement a mesh wireless network and a WLC 4404" but the firmware you are using is 5.1.151.0. This version is for standard LWAPP/CAPWAP and not a valid Mesh firmware.
Hope this helps.

Visual Upgrade to 2013 - Missing Site Templates for ITTEAM and PROJSING

I've been working on Upgrading some old WSS 3 sites to SharePoint 2013. I Have been able to get all of them imported to SharePoint 2010,and then have imported them all to my Sharepoint 2013 server. Now at the to of all of my sites is the Experience
all that SharePoint 2013 has to offer. Start
now or Remind
me later tag line. I Click the Start Now option and it goes though its Checks and comes back with:
Missing Site Templates
The following sites are using templates that are not yet supported after upgrade:
http://<site>/it/Projects - ITTEAM#0
http://<site>/it/webservices - PROJSING#0
I understand that those Fab 40 Templates are no longer available to create in 2013, though what can I do with the Existing content that I have? Seems wrong to Leave it at the 2010 Visual Representation.
For this one Sharepoint Site I could recreate the 2 Webs. Though on another Sharepoint site there are 123 sub sites with the sa,e two templates. I can't Abandon them. Is there a way to convert them to a new template first? How can I do the Upgrade
and keep my content? If I have to use a new template for new sin sites, I'm fine, I just don't want to lose what I have.
Thanks!

Hi Scooter,
For upgrading Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 to SharePoint 2013, you can refer to the steps as below:
1.First upgrade:
Upgrade the content to Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007
http://www.fpweb.net/support/microsoft-sharepoint/tutorials/wss-to-moss-migration/
2.
Second upgrade: Upgrade the content to SharePoint Server 2010 Products
If your environment is SharePoint 2007 32 bit, you need to upgrade your SharePoint 2007 32 bit to SharePoint 2007 64 bit firstly.

http://badarinathanagaraja.wordpress.com/2010/06/11/upgrade-from-sharepoint-2007-to-sharepoint-2010-environment/
3.
Third upgrade: Upgrade the content to SharePoint Server 2013 Products.

IOS 8.2 upgrade has disabled Safari

Since the latest iOS 8.2 upgrade on my iPad 4, my Safari has been totally disabled. It's completely frozen. Blank page, blank URL bar. I've tried wiping all history and cookies, and have turned off Safari and powered off the iPad. Still no joy. Are there any other solutions, and when is this going to be fixed, please?

Please don't double-post.
If it has NEVER been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures:
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, read this.
