Cannot Open Previous Document Versions SharePoint 2013

Having a issue where opening a previous document version is not working in SharePoint 2013.
Have tried:
Multiple document librarys/documents (new ones too)
Multiple Site Collections
Multiple Web Applications
Multiple User Accounts
Multiple Computers / Versions of Word
Multiple Users
It makes no difference.
Cannot find anything in the logs, word just says:
Could not open 'https://site.domain.com/site/site/_vti_history/2/Library/test.docx'
Have tried with a versioned PDF document and it downloads OK.

Hi,
You mentioned this works fine externally. Internally are the sites HTTPS or HTTP?
If it is HTTP, what does the AAM map look like? If it’s HTTPS, where does SSL terminate on the NLB/TMG or on the servers?
You mentioned you tried on multiple web applications, did you try and create a brand new one using just a server name as the URL?
If so what was the behavior?
You should be able to find the error message in the ULS logs.
Check all the servers, maybe it’s an unexpected server. Also make sure that verbose logging is enabled.

Credential Pop up while opening word document in SharePoint 2013

Hi
When I open office documents from SharePoint library, it is asking for credentials. Even if I put my credentials, pop up window will not go away. I have IE 11 and SharePoint 2013.
I have put this site in trusted site zone. User Authentication - Automatic logon with current user name and password.
I have clicked on Remember my credentials. I can see my saved credentials in credential manager.
The thing is, I was able to open word document without asking for password before. But recently, I have changed IE settings to be default level for some other reason, and since then it is asking me for credentials.
I looked online so many articles, but nothing has helped me yet.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Cameron
Thanks for your response. Yesterday night, when I tried to open documents from sharepoint site from my home, it didn't ask me for credentials. I was using same laptop which I used in the office.
Again, today in the office, It started asking for credentials when I open office document.
The only difference is internet connection is different between my home and the office.
Not sure what could be the issue.
Thanks

Opening/Saving documents from SharePoint 2013 in Firefox/Chrome bypasses Check Out and Check In

My clients have an Office365 installation with SharePoint 2013.
When I navigate to the site in IE and click on a checked-in document, it opens in Microsoft Word with a message
Server document To modify this document you must check it out
with a Check Out button alongside.
However, if I navigate with Firefox or Chrome and click on the same link, it just downloads the document to the browser's default download location. If I then open the document in Word, there is no
Server document warning and it is entirely writeable and it's also lost its link to the document library.
Is the work-around for this that one cannot use Firefox or Chrome with SharePoint, or is there some setting in these browsers that will bypass the download and load the document directly into Word?
Thanks
Edward

Does anyone have a better fix for this? We are attempting to launch support for a second browser - Chrome - but because of the issue with Office 2010 on the clients, the protocol handler from Chrome fails to connect the requested document directly
to the MS Office app, but rather downloads the file. IE Tab is not an option because it then defeats the purpose of having Chrome altogether since it simply uses IE8's engine. IE8's performance with large lists on SharePoint 2013 as well as the
HTML5-based functionality is simply dreadful which is the primary driver for an alternative browser.
We are aware installing Office 2013 on a machine fixes it, but that is not an option due to the current licensing.
Hope for Chrome 31? Firefox seems to work fine in our testing, but the organization wants to go Chrome instead of FF.

Cannot open Excel documents in Sharepoint 2010 Enterprise

We keep having this recurring issue where sharepoint will not allow users to open Excel documents. They receive the error:
"Unable to process the request. Wait a few minutes and try performing this operation again".
I did some research and it turns out that a simple reboot causes the issue to subside, but it comes back again.
Any ideas?

Can I find out who has opened a document in Sharepoint 2013 document library?

Is it possible to use PowerShell you find out who opened a certain document in a library in a users MySite? Or can I interrogate the audit logs?
I also have Harepoint installed, but I don't know if this works to a MySite document level?

Hello Alex,
Just save the file with .ps1 and run with Powershell.
you just need to enter the URL and Path as per your liking.
$rows=@()
$url ="https://SP2013.com/"
$site = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSite($url)
$webs = $site.AllWebs
foreach($web in $webs)

foreach($list in $listCollections)
if ($list.BaseType.ToString() -eq "DocumentLibrary")
$dList = [Microsoft.Sharepoint.SPDocumentLibrary]$list
$items = $dList.Items
$files = $dList.CheckedOutFiles
foreach($file in $files)
$wuse = $file.DirName.Substring($web.ServerRelativeUrl.Length)
#Write ($web.Url+ "`t" + $wuse+"`/" + $file.LeafName + "`t" + $file.CheckedOutBy.Name + "`t" + $file.TimeLastModified.ToString()+"`t" + "No Checked In Version"

Word 2013 slow to open documents from SharePoint 2013

Hi all,
Word 2013 running on a Windows 8.1 client is take 2 or more minutes to open a document from SharePoint 2013. Excel takes less then 10 seconds from the same site in SharePoint.
I have remove all proxy configuration from IE, clear the Auto Detect Settings. Added the URL's to the intranet zone and disabled all IE addons. I have also performed a reset on IE, reinstall of Office and tried a number of workstations. All have the same
issue. The document just take forever to open.
Checking with Fiddler, I can see 3 requests hit the SharePoint server then nothing... after a few minutes the document opens.
Any ideas?
Cheers
Craig

Hi Craig,
For troubleshooting your issue, please take steps as below:
1.Open IE, go to "Tools > Internet Options > Connections > Lan Settings" and uncheck "Auto Detect Proxy".
2.From the File tab in Word application, select Options and then click on Advanced and then in the Display section of the dialog, check the box for
Disable hardware graphics acceleration.
3.Edit the registry at HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Word.Document.12\shell\Open and deleting the ddeexec key.
Also please have a look at the article:

Word Viewer will not open documents from Sharepoint 2013 in IE11

I've run into an issue while trying to open documents from SharePoint 2013 after upgrading to IE11. My organization uses Word Viewer with the compatibility pack and all other Word documents (local files, intranet hosted) will open with no problems. When
trying to open a Word document from SharePoint the Word Viewer will open, but the file does not. We have verified that all Windows Updates are installed. We have tried opening SharePoint in Compatibility View and Enterprise Mode. We have re-downloaded the
latest version of Word Viewer and reinstalled it along with the compatibility pack. If we open the SharePoint site in Explorer view and then open a Word document it will open in Word Viewer with no problem. Excel and PowerPoint documents open from SharePoint
with no problem. This is only affecting Word documents with Word Viewer. When using the full version of Word the documents open fine. Within SharePoint we have tried activating the site collection feature "Open Document In Client Applications by Default"
but it made no difference. We're completely at a loss how to make this work as there doesn't seem to be much information specifically pertaining to issues with Word Viewer.

Hi Victoria.
1. The PCs do not have Microsoft Office installed, nor are we using the Office Web Apps. "Word Viewer" means the Microsoft Word Viewer application available here (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=4) that is available
free for read-only viewing of Word documents.
2. There are no errors when I open Word docs in Word Viewer. The Word Viewer application launches after clicking a Word document link in Sharepoint, but there is no file open in it. When that happens the IE11 Sharepoint window on the taskbar is flashing
yellow, but when I click back to it there are no messages or alerts to click on.
3. This issue does occur with all Word documents (.doc, .docx) in SharePoint. However, it does not occur when opening Word documents in the Word Viewer when they are local files or through IE11 from a non-SharePoint website like our local intranet.
Those files will open with no problem in Word Viewer.
4. I will try to get a screenshot, but we are working on creating images for deployment and I don't currently have a machine configured the same way. I'll work on reconfiguring one and post a screenshot.
Thank you for your help!

Saving/Opening documents to SharePoint 2013 from within Office 2010 applications

I was hoping that Office 2010 would work nicely together in terms of saving to and opening documents from SharePoint 2013. Alas, I was disappointed and somewhat surprised to see that opening/saving documents in SharePoint from within Office still
involves copying, pasting and hacking the URL of the document library in the Save or Open dialogue box. I was fully expecting that Office 2010 would have display some sort of SharePoint navigation so you could view your sites and document libraries in a similar
way to folders. A mature document management system this ain't!
Anyone have any advice on how to improve the Open/Save to/from SharePoint experience in Office 2010? I'm open to the idea of Office add-ins whether third party or official Microsoft.
Thanks in advance

Thanks for the reply, but that's from within SharePoint, not Office?
An example scenario: I create a new document or receive a document, I'm in the document, and I want to publish the document to a document library in SharePoint. At the moment I would have to save the document, load up SharePoint, navigate to the document
library and then go through the upload process.
I should really be able to, from within Word, select File - Save to SharePoint (say) and then be able to navigate to the document library I want to publish to. Really basic DMS stuff that I'm surprised isn't there!
Similar thing to opening a document. I should be able to Open from SharePoint, navigate to the document library via some sort of navigation box, and open it.
Thoughts appreciated.

I cannot open my document in pages 5.0.1 that I created in same. Computer tells me that I need to have a later version of pages. What do I do?

You're running an older version of Pages, perhaps in a folder called "iWork '09" in the Applications folder, or else on your Desktop. Quit it and launch the one at the top level of Applications.

Webclient does not open previous added versions of bqy documents

We are running IR/ workspace 9.3.1.3.0401 on weblogic.We have an odd behaviour in opening previous added versions of bqy documents.
case:
import a bqy document.
add another version of this document (make it obvious and simple only a dasboard with a "1" and "2" in a text label should be enough. for this test)
open the bqy as/ with IR webclient. (make sure this action opens the last added version.
till so far no problems
the open the previous version (File> Open > Document> (open as interactive reporting web client/ Version (choos the first or previous version) )
It does NOT open the previouws version but the last posted version.
strange is it?
I opened a case at Oracle for this.
(trying the same document with ihtml does not give a problem., it shows whichever version you ask for)

Oracle confirmed this is a bug.

I cannot open iCloud documents on my MAC I went to preferences etc and it did not give me access. My error says I need an updated version of numbers but I have the latest version

Mac OSX 10.4
Processor 3.06
Numbers 2.3 (554)
I cannot open iCloud documents on my MAC I went to preferences etc and it did not give me access. My error says I need an updated version of numbers but I have the latest version

You cannot access iCloud on a Mac running Mac OSX 10.4. Are you sure, the system version is correct?
If you are running iWork '09 (iWork 09 9.0.1) on your Mac with Numbers 2.3, you must at least have MacOS X 10.5.6 installed.
if you want iCloud support for iOS apps, you need the iWork 9.3 update,see: About the iWork 9.3 Update
And this update requires OS X Lion v10.7.4
Is your iMac compatible with Lion or later?

Just updated Pages to version 5.1 on App Store but Pages doesn't show that it's updated and cannot open a document

I just updated the software in Pages to 5.1 on my iMac OS (Mavericks) but the Pages Application is giving me an error saying that I cannot open a document recently updated until I perform a software update!
When I am in Pages and to go About Pages it still shows Pages 4.3 (1098)

You have 2 Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5.1 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong one.

Cannot view InfoPath Form on SHarePoint 2013 since I removed SkyDrive for Business and installed OneDrive For Business

I removed SkyDrive for Business and installed OneDrive for Business on my laptop. After that, I had problems opening a Word and Excel document in a SharePoint site (SP2013). After installing Service Pack2 from Office2010, this problem is solved.
But I still have the same problem with InfoPath. Whenever I click an InfoPath form (I have InfoPath 2010 on my laptop),...
... I get the error "cannot display web page".
When I change the URL
ms-infopath:ofe|u|http://intranet.water-link.be/samenwerken/awwit/Autorisaties/Gebruikersbeheer/2015-02-25%20Aanvraag%20gebruikersbeheer%20voor%20Stephanie%20Geeraerts.xml

I can open the InfoPath form and read it.
Any ideas about how to fix this ? I already tried to restore the Office 2010 via Control Panel - Install Programs but without any success...

Hi Gert,
As I understand, you can’t open InfoPath form in SharePoint 2013 unless you change the URL without “ms-infopath:ofe|u|”.
There are some reasons which maybe cause this issue, and you can try to do things below:
Access CA -> General Application Settings -> Configure InfoPath Form Service -> Check the two options in User Browser-enabled Form Templates.
Go into the registry by typing regedit from the Run line and rename the SharePoint.OpenDocuments.5 key (ex. SharePoint.OpenDocuments.5.old) under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.
In library settings, click "relink documents to this library".
