Files don't open or will only open 'Read Only'. Server reboot resolves issue for 1 day
Greetings!
We have a SharePoint 2010 Foundation server that I recently inherited. I'm a novice at SharePoint, but let me cut to the chase.
Users have recently (within the last week) started experiencing a problem where if they open a file, it will error either saying that the file cannot be opened, or it will only open in read only. This occurs with Excel, Word, Power Point docs. They CAN however,
open and edit these documents in the browser with web apps. After launching the full office application, if they click 'Edit Document', it will appear to switch to editable mode, but the title bar will still contain 'Read Only' and they can't save changes
directly back and are forced to do a 'Save As'. The only thing I have been able to do to remedy this is to quiesce the server and reboot it. After reboot, it will work until something magical happens overnight and it's broken again the next morning. I'm trying
to hunt down what this magical event is but could use some help.
Note that after I reboot the server, users can access and modify normally, no rebooting of workstations or closing of any applications (including the browser that's already on SharePoint) for it to start working, so I believe we can eliminate an endpoint
issue.
Server Specs:
VMWare VM version 9 (VMTools up-to-date)
16GB RAM
250GB HDD
2x vCPU
Windows 2008 R2 (latest updates installed)
SQL DB Hosted remote on a SQL 2008 R2 server running on Windows 2008 R2. The SQL database is set up in a mirror configuration.
I'm sure I missed a lot of pertinent information but want to get something out there. Thanks in advance.
There are warnings that repeat every ~1hour and one critical that occurs daily. Under each error, I added notes of what I've done to remedy.
Warning, Event ID 14
The start address sts4://serveraddress/contentdbid={0d061a04-5c82-48e5-b381-e111d1926b8d} cannot be crawled.
Context: Application 'Search_index_file_on_the_search_server', Catalog 'Search'
Details:
The SharePoint server was moved to a different location. (0x8004fd12)
I found in central management that the content database is pointing to an old SQL database but the failover server is set correctly. I assume that is what is generating this but I don't know how to fix it.
Warning, Event ID 2138
The SharePoint Health Analyzer detected a condition requiring your attention. Drives are at risk of running out of free space.
Available drive space is less than five times the value of physical memory. This is dangerous because it does not provide enough room for a full memory dump with continued operation. It also could cause problems with the Virtual Memory swap file:
(SERVERNAME- C:\).
Examine the failing servers and delete old logs or free space on the drives. For more information about this rule, see "http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=142688".
I Resolved this already an hour ago, extended the HDD from 100GB to 250 GB and made pagefile 2x the RAM (it was set to 8GB, RAM is 16GB)
Critical, Event ID 6398
The Execute method of job definition Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPTimerRecycleJobDefinition (ID b71cb245-29cf-49d5-a157-2c04b881f15f) threw an exception. More information is included below.
The timer service was not recycled because the following jobs were still running: Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Usage Data Import
The timer recycle job was set to run no earlier than 6am and no later than 6am. I manually ran the job and it completed. I set the times for it to run to be 4am - 8am to give it time to run.
This was right after a reboot (barf of the errors below)

Generally when creating a Word file from either a Mac or Win7 pc and opening it on two different machines (either one first) it always prompts that the file is open and will be opened as read only.
However opening a CSS file does not prompt that it is already open on or from any machine which is causing code edits to be lost.
What we found from out testing:
- The file can be saved from one user to the server and WILL NOT PROMPT on other machines until the saving machine has the Dreamweaver program closed completely
- The file can be closed and Dreamweaver minimised to the launch bar but it still will not register on other machines that it has been changed.
- Also, until the Dreamweaver program is closed on the machines, it will continue to open it's saved version of the file.
Example Scenario:
- User 1 opens test.css (which is 2000 lines) and adds some code to the end of the file to bring it up to 2500 lines
- Meanwhile User 2 opens test.css as well (opens as 2000 lines as User 1’s edits have not yet been saved) and adds in code to bring it to 2300 lines
- User 1 saves his file and closes it - but Dreamweaver is still open.
- User 2 also saves his file and leaves Dreamweaver open.
- The server will report the size and last edit of the file the same as User 2 as he was the last person to save it (and if you open from the Win7 Machine it will show as User 2’s 2300 line version)
- If User 1 then open's the file again (from either the 'recent' in Dreamweaver OR clicking on the file directly in Finder...which version opens.... The version that User 1 saved! Not the true version on the server, but the version that User 1 edited and saved with 2500 lines in it.
- Same for User 2, he will open 'his' version with 2300 lines in.
Other information:
- Files are opened directly from the server
- Sometimes the users will save incrementally and re-open
- Most of the time users will save incrementally and keep the files open
- The users will never not save incrementally and just save when closing the file once finished
- The users are usually working on the files all day
- It is always the bottom lines of code that are lost. It could be a case of the two versions being mixed up and cutting off the newly added lines based on the line count (possibly).
It is as if Dreamweaver is holding a cache of the version locally and then only properly looking back to the server when it has been completely closed. It is very difficult to see how the server is causing such an impact on these files, there are very few logs which are giving any indication to the root cause of the problems.
Anyone know if this is a known issue?
Is there a way that there can be a featured implemented on the server that doesn't allow another user to open a file if it is already open on another machine?
ThanksYour server file handling has nothing, and really nothing to do with Adobe software. If files don't get locked for (over-)writing and/or lose connection to the program opening them, then your server is misconfigured. It's as plain and simple and that. Anything from "known file types"/ file associations not being set correctly, MIME types being botched, crooked user privileges and file permissions, missing Mac server extensions, delayed file writing on the server, generic network timeout issues and what have you. Either way, you have written a longwinded post with no real value since you haven't bothered to provide any proper technical info, most notably about the alleged server. Either way, the only way you can "fix" it is by straightening out your server and network configuration, not some magic switch in Adobe's software.

I have a MacBook Pro (purchased in 2011) with OS X Lion 10.7.4. I'm using Microsoft Office 2011 and cannot open older PowerPoint Files (non .pptx). It will always open the same .pptx file and then the machine hangs up and just keeps spinning.
Thank you - that all makes sense. It is, indeed, exactly what I did when I upgraded.
I'm also writing this on the machine that crashed a few minutes ago (I posted the crash in another thread). I got back with a 'safe boot' - as I have done a few times before.
I've also de-installed little snitch (and then done a safe-boot & then re-boot ) since that seemed involved. I de-installed Adobe flash, since that seemed to be a problem - I then re-installed the later, apparently fixed, flash. The most recent crashes don't seeme to have a problem with flash any more.
I've posted the various ( generally different ) crashes. I also posted a summary of the similar lines that turn up in most of the crashes.
Unfortuantely, I'm actually trying to use the machine to meet some urgent deadlines and all this is not making it at all easy.
I had had great hopes for 10.7.2 - I thought that the crashes must be pretty common, so would have a common aetiology. There do seem to have been some fundamental changes to the file sytem and to the video interface (that seems to cause problems to brand new iMacs as well as to my 2009 iMac). -
Word 2010 opening document from SharePoint as Read-Only
Hello,
I am investigating an issue in our environment (Office 2010 clients accessing SharePoint 2010 files) where documents will open in Word but as read-only and the option to edit the document is not presented. This can be reproduced by copying and pasting
a link to a SharePoint document into the IE address bar and hitting <Enter>. A prompt will appear to open/save, etc. Clicking open will open the document but in read-only mode and there's no yellow bar to edit the document. The second time we perform
the same task, the document opens with the Edit Document button available. The Office Document Cache Handler browser add-in is enabled. The issue is described exactly in the last bullet of the 'more information section of this MS KB article:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2661910.
"The Server read-only bar with the [Edit Document] or [Edit Workbook] or [Edit Presentation] button bar may be missing for other reasons when clicking on a hyperlink to a Office 2010 document stored
on a SharePoint site for the first time. Subsequent clicks on the link will render the Server read-only bar."
We have confirmed that using the OptimisticBHO registry value resolves the issue. However, the support article says that this issue occurs for "other reasons". Rather than deploy a registry hack to fix this, can someone elaborate
on what the other reasons are so that we can tackle the root cause of the issue? Is this a known bug, is the behavior due to some security update is there a SharePoint configuration setting involved, etc.? It would be helpful to know exactly why
the issue occurs so that we can plan the resolution appropriately.
Thanks,
Doug

I have an external hardrive for MAC, I needed to save something from my work computer so I can pass it on to my MAC, it requiered me to re-format my external HD and now when I connected to my MAC I only have "read only rights". How do I fix it? I run my Itnues from this external and now my library is gone. Luckily I have it saved somewhere else, which is not a problem, but I won't be able to write to this HD for right now. I can't see an option to give those permission back.

Unless what you have to transfer is enormous, skip the external HD altogether and use a USB flash drive; you can get them with capacities to 128GB. Format the flash drive as FAT32 or ExFAT as LowLuster suggests so it can be read and written to on both PC's and your Mac. -

Pdf file created in Word 2008 will not open in Acrobat 8.2.6 or any other Adobe program
I have created a 12 page newsletter in Microsoft Word Publisher 2008 and have done so many times before with no problem. Today, I have tried to save it as a .pdf file both in Save As and through the printer. Each .pdf file created in Word will not open in Acrobat 8.2.6, Photoshop C3, Adobe Reader nor any other Adobe software.
When I go to open it in Acrobat, my Mac gives me the spinning rainbow. If I try to click on the file, I get a watch and then Acrobat crashes or I have to force quit the software. I really need to convert this file and get it to the printer. Any advice???
Mac OS X 10.6.7
Word 08 12.2.8
Acrobat 8.2.6
Adobe Reader 10.0.0Here is a better example.
https://www.calcerts.com/PBR1.pdf
is the original PDF file that is uploaded by a user. Note that it is only 48kb in size.
I take the file, add a couple of watermarks and a footer for each page as well as a small image on the last page, add security on it and BAM, the file:
https://www.calcerts.com/PBR1_AFTER.pdf
is now 1.5 MB and it takes a LONG time to print.

Xpj file disappeared and RH8 now will not open
I was working in RH8 on Friday (4/29)and I clicked Save. The application (RH8) closed/crashed/disappeared (which occurs occasionally). I re-opened RH8 and browsed to the project and double clicked the xpj file. I received an error that RH could not find the file (remember however, I clicked on it to open). I was never able to get the file open even though I could see the xpj file. I loaded the project on a thumb drive and took it to another computer and received the same error.
I zipped the file just because I wanted to have a back-up. I should say that I was having problems with RoboServer 9 and took the project out of RSC 4/22 so that I could launch the WebHelp project on the intranet on 4/24. I have made several updates to the file and republished it for 4 days before the crash.
I opened RH8 and clicked open from the starter page. The application did nothing, well actually it froze and I had to go into Task Manager to shut it down. So I did the usual reboot and tried again. Same thing happened.
Next step was to go to the menu, File, Open...froze again. Now I can open RH by double clicking an xpj file (from another project because as I said the project was working on the xpj file disappeared.) However I still cannot open RH itself by using Open or the File/Open option and I have to do a Task Manager shut down.
First I deleted and re-installed RH8. Problem continued.
So, I delete CS2, and reinstalled the entire suite. Problem continues.
If I go into my zip file, you can see the xpj file and if I double click to open...it does open but no topics are in exist inside.
So then I took the version (from thumb drive) that I saved to use on another computer and double clicked the xpj file to open (because this is the only way I can open RH8). Now the error message says that the project is from an earlier version and is no longer compatible. I have version 8.0.2.208 installed and it says there are no updates.
HELP!
Make yours and Incredible Day,
Verlean
Message was edited by: VerleanI called the helpdesk and they repeated all the steps I had already done. I had held off from deleting the cpd file and xpj file because I knew there was about 60 hours of intense work that I would potentially lose.
I had restored my computer to several different days in hopes that I could go behind the corrupt file. It looks like the corruption occurred behind the 60 hours...boohooohoo!
However, deleting the cd and xpj and opening the hhp with RH* was the only soution that solved my problem. An yes I lost all the work.
To answer your question E was a thumb drive. I took my project off my computer when uninstalling and re-installing software. Just to be safe.
I think I may have found the source of my corruption. Almost all of my documents are imported from FM8 or 9. They have .css that I convert to RH .css. There is one FM style that in particular most often will not convert even after I manually change it. It will revert back to the FM_RED style from the FM .css. This styel is red text put in to highlight recent changes. I noticed in all the FM documents that the red text has never been changed back to black even after 2-3 years. I came to the conclusion that it was never changed because the FM doc would not allow it to be changed.
While in RH I can manually convert the color to black but I cannot map the style to any other RH style where it will convert. Sometimes it will let me manually convert...sometimes. There are over 400 topics with this FM_RED style.
So many issues....
So, this original corruption may have cause my search function to break. The published webhelp file looks for the search words, returns 100% but no results are returned. This is however not only "all" search items.
The problem seems to be in the whfbody.htm and length is "null" line 552. which I think means the search results are too large.
Any ideas on the search function or should I start a new thread?

Under File menu Open File will not open local files even those downloaded to the desktop by Firefox 5.
If I double click on HTML file it does open
Reinstalled. Same behaviour. Default Browser set correctly.
Permissions set correctly. Odd behaviour.Are you sure it hasn't imported?
Check for the track names (trackname only, not Album or Artist)) and see if they have a blank Artist and Album, because WAV files have no MetaData, so are kind of stupid as far as knowing anything about the Artist, Album & track id.
You can't search by 'Untitled' either as there is literally, no name at all, but iTunes does pick up the actual physical track name in Finder and uses that. As an example, if you renamed your Aerosmith WAV file from say 'Toys In The Attic' to 'Love Song' it would import the track as 'Love Song' as that's all it can go by.
There are a few iTunes AppleScripts that let you import from a file of WAV music, by looking at the enclosing Album in the enclosing Artist as that's how most PC progs create the WAV file structure.

Phase One files shot with C1 4 will not open with ACR
Hi, files shot with Capture One 4 will not open with ACR nor DNG. Extension is set to .TIF but only the small preview opens. If I shoot with Capture One 3.7 - no problem. Any ideas ?
Thanks,
GunterHi Gunter.
You would need to upload the file to your own web server or to a file sharing site like Yousendit.com and then post a link to the file here in the Forum.

File associations of Adobe products will not open cross platform.
I have an computer that suddenly can only open an .PDF file in Acrobat, and not in Illustrator. We have art files that are in PDF format, and Purchase Orders that are in PDF format. We would just drag the icon over the software we wished to open the file. In this case Illustrator for the art file and Acrobat for the P.O. As of today, PDF's only open with Acrobat and that's it. I know it's probably a setting I'm forgetting. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
By doesn't open I mean, if you drag the file icon over the Illustrator icon, you get the circle with the slash. Meaning this software cannot open this file type. To simulate what we see, think of dragging a file icon over an unassociated program like an image file over word processor program. It will let you know you can't open this file with that software. As for opening the file, yes it will. We just tested it, and it will open the file. I guess the only issue is that dragging the file icon over the program icon suddenly will not work. It's beginning to look like this might be a computer issue. However the only programs affected are the Adobe software. This one is strange, never seen it. The computer is a Windows XP machine with CS5 on it. The artist is used to using a Mac so the drag and drop is second nature, plus she checks in our graphic files against the accompanying P.O. A large percentage of which are Adobe acrobat files. It's just one of those irritating work around issues she shouldn't have to do, and will not have time once our busy season starts. Thank you for all of the help and have a great day.

File, edit, view, history, etc. will NOT open on menu bar how to fix
The file, edit, view, history, bookmarks, tools, help options on the menu bar will not open. This started to happen, intermittently, in the last few hours . . . and, now, seems permanent. I suspect an update. There are, also, other options which will not open. I cannot use my address book on webmail because of this and am in dire need of a solution.
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).
'''If Firefox is open,''' you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
* Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
'''If Firefox is not running,''' you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".
;[[Image:SafeMode-Fx35]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme, or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps in the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''

I work for an auditing firm and we have recently gone paperless with our audit documentation. We have our files saved on a server and multiple people can access the same file at one time. We noticed that Acrobat does not give an message notifying a user that someone else is in that file, nor does Acrobat make that PDF file a read only file when someone else is in it editing the document. Is there a way to notify someone that another user is in the same PDF file? Or is there a way to make a PDF read only when someone else is working with the document?
Hi ashleyr1936858
You can restrict editing of a pdf by setting the password, such that anyone who wants to edit the pdf would need to input that password. This would make the pdf a read-only file.
Here's a Link for more information : Acrobat Help | Securing PDFs with passwords
