Can't open Sharepoint Online site in Sharepoint Designer 2013

Hello!
I am trying to open a Sharepoint Online secure site in Sharepoint Designer 2013 (v15). When I try to open the site in Sharepoint Designer i get an error stating: 
"Server error: The version of Microsoft SharePoint Foundation running on the server is more recent than the version of SharePoint Designer that you are using. You need a more recent version of SharePoint
Designer."
I used to have the preview version installed, but I uninstalled it and got the latest version I could find (version 15?). I checked the SharePoint version on the server (/_vti_pvt/service.cnf) and it says: 
vti_encoding:SR|utf8-nl
vti_extenderversion:SR|16.0.0.1706The public site I have has the same version and it opens just fine in SharePoint Designer 2013. Are there any new versions of SharePoint Designer 2013 available that I have missed? My SharePoint Designer is up to date via Windows Update.I am running the designer on Windows 7 Ultimate x86.

I had the same issue today. Here what I have found.
I was using different credentials for my different SharePoint site in SPD 2013. When I try to access my new SharePoint online site (Which has different Account) the SharePoint Designer directly show me  
"Server error: The version of Microsoft SharePoint Foundation running on the server is more recent than the version of SharePoint Designer that you are using. You need a more recent version of SharePoint Designer."
then I changed my Account Credentials by
Open SPD 2013
1)click File
2) Click Account
3) Log out from current user name
4) sign in by using the same credential  as your new SharePoint Site.
DONE!
I think this error is not useful as it (this error) is not about which version of SharePoint you are using but more about Account credentials.(At least for me) Hope that helps.

    I would like to know if this is feasible with a SharePoint online site.
    If feasible, how can I resolve the below exception I am getting while using the code.
    “The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden”.
    Thanks,
    Thanan

    Hi,
    Actually what I am trying to achieve is the two things.
    1) By using only the user's name, need to upload/download from/to the document library of SharePoint online site using the CSOM. (i.e., achieving Single Sign On / Windows Authentication)
    2) I need to achieve the above only by passing the document URL; not by hardcording/ configuring the document library name in the windows application.
    Can anyone pls help on this now?
    [Below code is working fine. But need to arrive the solution whereas the above 2 conditions are not violated.
    using (var clientContext
    = new ClientContext("https://yoursiteurl.com"))
               string passWd
    = "password";
               SecureString securePassWd
    = new SecureString();

  • Cross domain call to Azure ASPX from SharePoint Online Site Collection

    We have a ASPX page hosted on Azure that is creating a Zip of documents from a SharePoint Document Library against IDs that we are passing it through query string. Next we are flushing this ZIP as a download response to the client
    browser so that user can save it somewhere on his machine. This is working as expected.
    Next we are calling this ASPX from our SharePoint Online Site Collection. Sometime it takes time to create the ZIP & return to the client and therefore we want to implement a Progress Image showing something is happening at the server. We
    have used window.open() method to call this ASPX and at the same time we are showing up the Progress Image. But due to same origin policy we are not able to track any window specific events in Internet Explorer to close the Progress Image when the response
    returns to the client.
    Please suggest a suitable workaround for this scenario. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you in advance!
    Jitendra

    Hi Jitendra,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to call a aspx page hosted on Azure from SharePoint Online site and implement a progress image to show the progress happening at the server.
    In your scenario, if you want to call the aspx page on Azure to create zip and return to the client, the better way is createing a web service and call it in clinet side. You can add the progress status in the custom code and then judge the status to
    show correponding progress image.

    Hi,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to set security group as admin of primary and secondary site collection using PowerShell command in office 365.
    I suggest you can use the command below to set the group to site owner, then it will have the site collection admin permission.

  • Cannot connect to SharePoint online to create SharePoint App in Visual Studio 2013

  • Can not open some web site

    Can not OPen some web site such as www.studioclassroom.com

    It opens fine on my iPad using Safari. What happens when you try to open it?

  • I can not open some internet sites with my ipad

    since i download new apple software 7.2 i can not open some internet sites with my ipad! it lets me open only english sites nothing else...

    Try a soft reboot and see if that helps.
    1. Press and hold power + home button until screen goes off and apple logo appears.
    2. Once the apple logo appears release both buttons and let the phone reboot.
    This helps clear temporary files. I assume you've tried deleting safari from multitasking?
    You could always try using a different app top browse the internet.
    VPN is another solution as it has helped me out before.
    Hope this helps.

    All I can suggest is that you open that file on the MBA and save it as a new file, then see if you can open the new one on the iMac.

    Hi,
    I check this issue in my environment, but cannot repro this issue.
    Please check the following path to click the right cpl file:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office15\MLCFG32.CPL
    If that works, you need check this registry path to see if it points a right path to the .cpl file:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Control Panel\Cpls

  • How to export SharePoint Online sites in an offline format that can be accessed without SharePoint?

    Details:
    Non-techie needs to archive SharePoint site and apps content into one convenient file. 
    1. Currently SharePoint calenders, contacts and tasks synced to Outlook and exported to an Outlook .pst; 
    2. Document libraries to a folder in file system; 
    3. SharePoint Online 2013 microfeed cannot sync at all (correct me if I'm wrong). 
    4. Pages also not really exportable.
    Migration between O365 plans and tenants I can use .wsp but still limited to 50MB export and needs site collection settings access.
    Ideally able to access these content offline (no security implications here).
    Anyone know of a simple way?

    Hi Tian-An,
    SharePoint contents (e.g. document files, list items, pages) are stored in SQL database, it may if you want to use the contents without SharePoint environment, I think you can click "Open with Exporer" from library ribbon and then copy them to
    the file system(e.g. a network dirve fileshare), note that the library columns value would be unable to be copied/exported; for the list items you can click "Export to Excel" button form list ribbon to export list itmes to
    excel file, or as you have done with connecting to Outlook.
    And we have a dedicated Office365 SharePoint online forum, I would recommand you post there for getting a better assistance redarding this SharePoint online contents exporting.
