Checkout files not opening in SharePoint 2010 sites?

In library, after clicked on Checkout file option, the file is showing green arrow that means file is in checked out mode but when clicked to that file to open for modification the file is not opening.
And without checked out if try to open the file it gives two options Read only or Edit and but when clicked on Edit option the file is not opening.
There are few users facing above issue.
Please tell me what I should do.

Can you confirm that everyone is using Internet Explorer?

Error : file not found in SharePoint 2010

I have a problem of error "file not found" in a site collection SharePoint 2010.
    I cannot access to home page, the page of list/library/permission,etc. All pages will appear an error "file not found"
    I can access to the page of "all content"
    I can access to the site setting page, but I cannot open the link on this page. For example, I select "quick launch" in "Look and feel" section, it will show an error "file not found".
    I think I must reset my master page, but I cannot use SharePoint Designer (forbidden in my application), I cannot open the link on site setting page, and I cannot open library page to check the master page
    I can access to mobile view, and all pages work well in mobile view, but I did not find site setting page
How could I check the master page? Or this problem has other solution?
Thank you in advance.

You might have referred an image or style sheet or some file from an invalid path. Check the error in detail, where you might be able to know which file or file path is not correct. Then recorrect it in the master page and then refresh the site.
UPDATE - Can you configure the web.config to display the detailed error? Make -
<CustomErrors Mode="Off">, CallStack="true" and
<compilation debug="true" />
Do an IISReset and then refresh the site.

Unable to open Office files on SharePoint 2010 sites on Windows Server 2008 R2

Setup: Windows SharePoint Server 2010 sp1 on Windows Server 2008 R2 (hosted on VMWare VSphere ESXi 5.1)
Secured using Domain SSL from GlobalSign.
Client OS: Windows 7 Professional 32bit & Windows XP SP3 32 bit
Browsers: IE10, IE9,IE8
Office: Office 2010, Office 2010 sp2 (both 32bit), Office 2007
Problem Description: Only recently, users started having issues with opening Office files (Word, Excel) on SharePoint sites. When you click on an Office file e.g. Word Document, it comes up with the option to select "Ready only" or "Edit"
and choosing either options and re-entering the login credentials results in the
application hanging. If you leave it for a while (about 5 minutes) sometimes the file opens and other times it gives the error "Could not open https://portal.com/XXX/XXX/Document.docx". Even when it opens, it's extremely
sluggish and can't do anything other than end it via Task Manager. Same with excel files.
This happens to all the users all different OS and browsers.
On XP Pro SP3 w/ IE8, when you click on the file, the login prompt keeps popping back up repeatedly and if you click cancel, the file loads up anyway but no way of saving back onto the SharePoint site.
IMPORTANT: One exception is when logged in as a Site Collection Administrator, it
works like a dream bizarrely!!!! Opens, Edits and saves back fine on the SharePoint site.
Have tried following:
1. Repaired Office 2010 Pro; Uninstalled/Re-installed Office 2010 Pro
2. Reset Browser, unticked automatically detect proxy settings.
3. Emptied OfficeOfflineCache on Client
4. Removed WebDAV from the SharePoint server
5. Added Antivirus folder exclusion (We use SEP 11) on the SharePoint Server
Note: PDF files opens fine for all users.
I would immensely appreciate if anybody has got any advice/pointers/suggestions. Desperately out of ideas at the moment.
regards,
Compter Sez No!

Hi,
According to your description, When you try to open a Microsoft Office document from a SharePoint 2010 site in a client application, the document opens slowly and you are prompted to enter your credentials multiple times.
This issue may be because of SharePoint Web Front End (WFE) server(s) has Antivirus software installed and the exceptions are not set correctly.
I recommend to remove the antivirus software or set the correct permissions for the antivirus software to resolve the issue.
To configure the antivirus exceptions, please follow the guidelines in the below articles:
KB943620:
Folders to exclude when you perform a file-level antivirus scan on a server operating system.
KB952167:
Certain folders may have to be excluded from antivirus scanning when you use a file-level antivirus program in SharePoint.
KB943556:
Recommended file and folder exclusions for Microsoft Forefront Client Security or Forefront Endpoint Protection 2010.
Best regards.
Thanks

PDF File not opening in browser for sharepoint 2010

Recently we have moved our web application from one server to another in Sharepoint 2010. Back up of entire web application was taken and restored in another server. But in the new server , the PDF files in the document library is not getting opened in browser.
it always open in browser
I have already made following changes but didn,t work
Set browser file handling to Permissive from central admin
Set "open in browser" in setting s of doc library
Set the doc library file handling property using $docLib = $web.lists["Your Document Library Title"] $docLib.BrowserFileHandling = "Permissive" $docLib.Update()
Added "AllowedInlineDownloadedMimeType.Add("Application/Pdf") in web app
Installed Adober eader in client machine
Even after trying all these, the PDF files are still opening in Client application(Adobe reader) but not in the browser
It would have been great help if anybody provide a solution for this. I have been banging head on this for two days

It would be handy if you didn't double post too.

To answer your question, you've tried most things that I normally see working, but there may be an extra solution here for you. The solution 2 Powershell that deals with updating the Inline MimeType may help.

Receiving an error when checking out Visio 2013 file from a Sharepoint 2010 site.

Receiving the following error when attempting to checkout a Visio 2013 file from a SharePoint 2010 site: "Sorry, we couldn't open 'http://sharepoint/folder/folder/folder/folder/file name". If you need to know the length of any of the folder
or file name, please let me know. I have checked answers to other questions but none seem to apply or the person responded that the answer did not work.

Seems that your Microsoft Office Document cache is corrupted. please try deleting cache folder :
Clear the Microsoft Office Document Cache by opening the Upload Center->Settings->Delete cached files.
Clear the Office File Cache at C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Office\14.0\OfficeFileCache.
Clear the Office File Cache at C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Office\15.0\OfficeFileCache.

Hi,
Can you download the attachment to local and open it? Does other types of attachment have this issue?
Please check the following settings:
Go to File -> Options -> Trust Center -> Trust Center Settings -> Attachment Handling -> Make sure "Turn off attachment Preview" is not selected -> Click "Attachment and Document Previewers" button -> Make sure "Microsoft
Excel previewer" is selected -> OK -> OK -> OK.

Time to engage in basic debugging. Alter your script to remove all the extra steps and generate logs as it goes along, then gradually re-enable each part so you can work out where it's bombing out. It doesn't sound like a problem with Reader itself, and as Claudio says we're not here to provide support for non-Adobe software.

Pdf file not opening on pushing fdf file with F key in Adobe Reader

Well i am a novice developer in case of PDF Development.
The problem which i am facing is:-
In our application a PDF document submits the data to server and server sends back FDF to client with f key as http path of PDF which is present on web server.
This all works well in acrobat professional 7.0 but in abobe reader 8.0 the PDF file doesn't open up on pushing FDF.
On debugging the problem i found out that if server sends response within 480 milliseconds then reader is showing the pdf otherwise it don't shows up.Since in our application it will always take more than this time because of several operation performed to serve the request posted to server,So the
PDF will never show up in case of reader.
I was unable to understand what make it special in acrobat professional that session lasts more than 480 milliseconds whereas in reader the session doesn't last that long.
I really need uregent help on this.
Thanks in advance for help.

It would be handy if you didn't double post too.

To answer your question, you've tried most things that I normally see working, but there may be an extra solution here for you. The solution 2 Powershell that deals with updating the Inline MimeType may help.

How to "Capture Multiple Levels" of a SharePoint 2010 site

Hello! I have an end user I'm trying to support who is trying to update her SharePoint site so she can print the .pdf format. Whenever she tries to "Get Entire Site she gets an authorization failure and it says Error: Nothing Done. We have migrated the site content over from the old intranet page into a SharePoint 2010 site. However, user informed me that she needs to have the ability to print the entire site content and she had been doing this using Adobe Acrobat X Pro. How do I correct the authorization failure message? I'm a SharePoint administrator so please let me know what I need to do on the back end to get this to work. Thanks!

I have seen the same error a number of times. I found that certain domains would not work and give me the error msg. and not allow me to capture a website into PDF format.
http://www.wisconsindot.gov/projects/index.htm generates the 'Authorization Failure' error msg. and will not create a PDF file.
http://www.dot.wi.gov/projects/index.htm and http://www.dot.state.wi.us/projects/index.htm both work fine and create a PDF file as intended.
Do you have an alternative domain you can use for the URL? If so, try that and let me know if it works.

Office Web Apps 2010 on SharePoint 2010 site running in SharePoint 2013?

We're in the process of moving a SharePoint 2010 site over to SharePoint 2013. The SharePoint 2010 site is using classic authentication, and it's not in scope to update this to claims-based authentication.
I'd like to continue running the site in SharePoint 2010 mode without upgrading it to 2013. In this case, can I continue to use Office Web Apps 2010 for this SP2010 site? I've already installed Office Web Apps 2013 on another server but just
read that it needs claims-based authentication.

If you want to use OWA once the site has been moved to 2013 you will need to change the web application to use Claims. OWA in 2013 requires that and will not work in classic mode.

Have you installed the java Runtime Environment?

Sharepoint 2013 site having NTML Crawl issue while crawling Sharepoint 2010 sites having FBA authentication

Hi,
We have Sharepoint 2013 search center site which is claim based with NTLM authentication set. we have Sharepoint 2010 farm also running which are FBA authenticated.
While crawling Sharepoint 2010 sites having FBA authentication from SP 2013 search center having NTLM auth. it does not give proper result.
Can you please help me what can be done here?
Thanks,
Prashant

Hi Prashant,
According to your description, my understanding is that the search cannot work correctly when crawling the SharePoint site which is form-based authentication.
Per my knowledge, the crawl component requires NTLM to access content. At least one zone must be configured to use NTLM authentication. If NTLM authentication is not configured on the default zone, the crawl component can use a different
zone that is configured to use NTLM authentication.
However, if crawling a non-default zone of the web application, URLs of results will always be relative to the non-default zone that was crawled for queries from any zone, and this can cause unexpected or problematic behavior.
I recommend to make sure that the default zone of the SharePoint 2010 web application to use NTLM authentication.
