Could not open password protected site.

iWeb 09 doesn't allow capital letters in usernames for password protected sites. My site had been built using 08 and it would not open. I republished using iWeb 09 and no caps and it now works.

Just alerting other users.

Microsoft office 2011 under Mavericks: can not open password protected files

I think that it all started with the installation of Mavericks.
I have a few Microsoft office 2011 files (excel and word) that are passord protected. Now, it's telling me that the file can not be opened due to an encrytion sheme that is not available in this country (I'm in Canada).
I've re-installed Microsoft Office, but that did not solve the problem.
Thanks

Same problem for me, I had two password-protected Word files and both won't open now. It started after i tried to add support for an additional language (spanish), but removing it afterwards did not fix the problem.

I have a password protected site in iweb, but how do I get my users to "sign out" so there not always logged in

I built a password protected site in iweb and its published through mobileme. How do I get users to "sign out" so there not always logged in

I wouldn't bother really - it would be best to concentrate your efforts now on finding another web host that you can move your site to because after the end of June this year, publishing to MobileMe won't be an option.
Have a look at GoDaddy, HostExcellence etc. and you can still password protect your website, but you just do this through your host/server rather than MMe.
Start looking now before it's too late!

Try and force your iPad into Recovery Mode
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.

Cannot publish new password protected sites to MobileMe using iWeb

Recently been getting the familiar iWeb error messages when publishing from iWeb to mobile me:
"There was an error updating MobileMe"
"An error occurred while publishing file '/Web/Sites/Sites.rss"
"Publish error: An unknown error occurred"
Did all the troubleshooting stuff detailed here - problem persists.
Today, tho', I've just noticed that these errors *only occur when I'm trying to publish a new password-protected site or trying to apply password-protection to an existing unprotected site*.
It works just fine when publishing a site which is not password-protected. It is also possible to modify an existing password-protected site without any trouble.
There's nothing odd about the passwords - all legal characters etc.
It would be better for me and my users if I could have password protection on my sites. Without passwords, I'm left relying on 'security by obscurity' - not ideal.
What can I do?

You could split up your single Domain file into several Domain files each containing a group of sites. You'll have to duplicate (via Finder) the Domain file usually located here:
...and then double-click one of the copies to open it in iWeb. Then delete the site(s) you don't need from it. Repeat the process until you have a more manageable group of Domain files each containing several (or just one) site(s). Note that this process is not easily reversible, i.e. merging Domain files.

Unable to open documents in Office (Word and Excel) - 3 authentication prompts followed by 'Could not open ...'

I am getting multiple authentication prompts when I try to open or create a new .docx or .xslx document from SharePoint 2010.
I tried this on different machines and on different browsers (IE and Firefox) and see the same behavior. I am the site collection administrator. I see the same behavior on other sites also. Other users are also seeing the same behavior.
If I download the document, I can open it without any issues.
The Web Application IIS authentication settings is NTLM and Client Integration is enabled.

Hi shankze,
According to your description, my understanding is that you could not open the documents because of the authentications.
Go to IIS, make sure that the Security TokenServiceApplication pool is started.
Please do as the followings, and compare the result:
Add your site to the Trusted Sites Internet Zone.
Go to Internet Options - Security - Highlight the Trusted Sites Check Mark - click on custom level - scroll to the bottom and in the user authentication section select "Automatic logon with current username and password."
Also, you can do via group policy in DC server.
More information, please refer to the link:

I hope this helps.

Named Pipes Provider: Could not open a connection to SQL Server [2]

Hi
I'm a complete sql/asp.net newbie and want to try this tutorial:
http://beta.asp.net/GuidedTour/
First I installed:
Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition Beta 2
systemsettings\software shows the "sql server 2005 express edition ctp (sqlexpress)" installed
mmc\service shows me the SQL Server (SQLExpress) is running
Following the guided tour I use the commandline, type cmd, and type in the commandbox:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\binn\SQLCMD90" -S "localhost\SqlExpress"
Instead of localhost I also tried computername.smallbusiness.local (thats my fully domain name).
However I always receive the error:
Named Pipes Provider: Could not open a connection to SQL Server [2]
Thank you very much for all your help

Typically I have found problems with connection strings as one of a few things:
1. Your instance is named different than the default. I labeled mine BrettSQLServer instead of the regular instance.
2. Your default storage of the your database has a user the system does not like and won't give it access.
3. You have ports blocked that SQL Server is trying to access.
1. Your instance should show up under 'SQL Server Configuration Manager'. Start>MS SQL Server 2008 > Configuration Tools> SQL Server Configuration Manager. You should see a left view panel where you can click 'SQL Server Services'. This
will show on the right all of your SQL services that are running. The most important one is SQL Server({Your SQL Server Name}). You will see column headers's displaying: "Name, State, Start Mode, Log on as, ProcessID" by default. If
you don't see a version of this you may have no installed SQL server properly and gotten SQL management studio but not the server. If you have the server and it's off or not running that is another problem. If your "LOG On AS" is a service account
is "NT ...." or something besides "Local System" that may be a problem. Without getting into the symantecs of protection suffice to say you log in with less than system, yes you are more secure but some built in functions for connections may not work.
2. Going off of rights of your 'Log On As' I WOULD USE 'System' NOT "NT Authority....". The reason is that you can access less things with 'NT Authority....' but yes you are more secure for that reason. If you are just trying to connect at home
to test non secure things I don't see the harm. If you are setting up a database for a multinational corporation than, Yes I would use a more secure account. If you need to change it while still in SQL Server Confi Manager: Right Click> SQL
Server(Your Version) > On 'Log On' tab > Choose drop down for 'Built-in Account' select 'Local System'. As extra steps make sure by some strange reason your database locales have this user by default(They should). MS likes to install database
as default to: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10.{instanceName}\MSSQL. If you go to this location by going: right click>Properties>Security Tab .. and you fail to see your user that SQL server is defined as you may have lots of
issues.
3. Turn off Windows Firewall during SQL installation. If you are scared of being attacked during this down window, disconnect your NIC and reconnect later. I have not added a port manually in a while but it is simply easier to just
turn off your firewall during install. Having your TCP/IP connection from SQL Server blocked is kind of bad if you need to connect to it that way later.
Problems most commonly encountered with SQL Server by users I have seen and I myself encountered a lot with full blown SQL Server Enterprise as well as Express versions of SQL:
Connection string DO not work for BIDS, ADO.net, Linq, etc...
Once you follow steps above just go {ComputerName}\{SQL Server Instance} as your connection name. That mostly always works. As a preliminary test you should install SQL Management Studio first before doing connection strings for a basic test
that it can access your server. When you first boot it up and click 'New Database Engine Query' it will display Server Type: "Database Engine" and a blank field or autopopulated field for 'Servername'. The {ComputerName}\{SQL Server Instance} almost
always works. If it works and you can connect, you know that you have access, if you don't start there first before getting into connection strings through .NET languages. I suggest just adding an easy alias, my local SQL box is simply called
'Brett'. Go again back to SQL Server Configuration Manager. On the left side click 'SQL Native Client ...' > 'Aliases' > New > type in whatever you want. Go back to the left pane click on 'SQL Server Services' ensure the service
'SQL Server Browser' is running and set to run automatic. Have fun accessing SQL Server with your alias.
Help I can't get FileStream to work and I ran 'spconfigure' in SQL and it still doesn't work.
Kind of annoying that more sites don't list that it is entirely in the Configuration manager and has zilch to do with setting the option if the config has it off. I am not a master of the sp_configure TSQL access method but I know during installs turning
it on fails to REALLY turn it on. Once again go to SQL Config Manger > SQL Server Services > Right click your instance > Select FILESTREAM tab > enable both check boxes. Restart SQL Server. Install Adventureworks 2008 and whatever
else failed due to filestream access levels.

Could not open

As part of a grant application I uploaded several pdfs that I created to the online grant server. I was previously able to open these files from the online server just fine but now I get an error message that says: "Could not open because it is either not a supported file type or becuase the file has been damaged (for example it was sent as an e-mail attachement and wasn't correctly decoded)." Others are able to open the files just fine using my password on another computer. I've already repaired my acrobat installation. Any suggestions? BTW I've tried to open then through both IE and GoogleChrome. Thanks!

The version is 9 pro. I tried to right mouse click to open, but that is not an option on the grant site. Most are simple pdfs I converted from word docs and the kicker is that others can view them on their computer through the grant site, but not me. I am able to view the original pdfs that I uploaded and at one time I was able to view them on the remote site. It feels to me like there is a preference that needs to be changed, or a setting in Adobe Acrobat that is not "turned on." I appreciate your thoughts.

Adobe Reader could not open 'A9R7D1F.tmp'

Greetings~
I have seen others with this issue, but none of their solutions have been able to fix my problem.
When attempting to open a PDF document from a web site, I receive the following error:
"Adobe Reader could not open 'A9R7D1F.tmp' because it is either not a supported file type of because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)."
This is limited to a specific set of computers. Others within the organization function appropriately. As such, it is not a web server or network problem. Here are the specifics of the offending machine(s): Windows 7, Internet Explorer 8, Adobe Reader 9.3.2. Note that other machines with this same specs function appropriately. I have confirmed there are no differing group policies and all are within the same subnet.
Here is what I have tried. After each item, the browser was closed and/or system rebooted. Everyone of these tests resulted with the same error.
Deleted all history in IE (cookies, temporary files, history, etc.).
Uninstalll Reader, reboot, re-install Reader, reboot.
Saved the PDF to the local desktop and tried to open that way.
Installed an older version of Reader.
Ensured the following Reader settings are selected: Display PDF in Browser, Allow Fast Web View, Allow Speculative Downloading in the background (which match machines that are successful).
Ensure IE browser settings are configured to "Automatically" check for newer versions of stored pages.
Ensure PDF document is smaller than allowable disk space limit within IE.
Can anyone help me with this? I am out of ideas!
Thank you.

If you are generating files with anything before %PDF, these files are faulty. It's never been allowed, but Reader used to tolerate it for compatibility with an obscure Mac format.

When i try to open a document in Adobe Reader, I get a "could not open" msg? Why?

When I try to open a document in Adobe, I get an error messsage: "Adobe Reader could not open 'whatever file it is' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)." This only happens on some documents, but frequently. Can anyone help?

Are these Word documents email attachments that you are saving using right-click and Save Link As? It's possible that your email website has changed and instead you need to click the image or use the site's button.
