Missing the visual upgrade option on SP 2010 site

I have a series of content databases that were upgraded from MOSS 2007. Most have not yet undergone the visual upgrade.
Today, I have been working on copying two of those sites to a new location.
I created two new team sites. These of course already had the visual upgrade.
I did an export-spweb of the two old sites. I then did an import-spweb of the two old sites into the new sites that I created.
The result is the two old style GUI in the new location.
When I took a look at the site settings (as a farm admin) I do not see an option to perform the visual upgrade on the sites.
I know that there are powershell commands that I can execute when the time is right.
I don't understand, however, where the visual upgrade option went.
Hmm - I just went back to the original sites that were copied and they too do not have the visual upgrade option in the site settings.
The top level site does, however, have that option.
Odd...

But export-spsite won't help.
1. These sites were being copied from one part of a site collection tree to another branch in the same site collection.
2. As I mentioned at the end of my posting, it turns out that the original sites had also lost their visual upgrade menu item - how, I do not know.
Because of these two factors - and maybe others - I was hoping there was a "simple fix" for this. But if there is not, then I just have to live wtih that.

  • How to update SP2010 sites that are missing the Visual Upgrade options

    So, we are moving towards upgrading some SP 2010 sites that are currently using the old SP 2007 look and feel so that they have the new ribbon Visual Upgrade.
    For some reason, some of these sites do not have the Site Actions > Visual Upgrade option nor do they have the Site Actions > Site Settings > Visual Upgrade link.
    Does anyone know what can be done to make those available?
    Thank you.

    Even when I take a look at
    http://myfarm/sites/Support/dept1/_layouts/prjsetng.aspx?Source=http%3A%2F%2Fmyfarm%2Fsites%2FSupport%2Fdept1%2FPages%2Fdefault%2Easpx
    which is where the site actions > visual upgrade link should take the user, that page does not have the visual upgrade options on it.

  • I am missing the Preview Builds option...

    My Windows 10 installations are all missing the preview builds option and the build versions are not updating. Do I have a group policy setting in the way?

    That seems actually like good design from Microsoft. I don't want a non-admin user to have any way of upgrading their PC - that should be solely reserved for admins.  And it's not like the option even appears for the user, so they won't know what
    they're missing.
    In the Modern UI, there's no way to elevate (I believe that's the word you're looking for) user's rights - you either have it or you don't.  So all one can do is show what you can access, and hide the rest.

  • In Bridge CS6, my "Tools" tab is now missing the Image Processor option.

    Hello!
    Two glaring changes were made in my system all by itself.  One is that in Bridge CS6, under the "Tools" tab, the "Image Processor" option is gone.  All that's left is Batch Rename and Cache options.  Does anyone know why this happened or how to restore this.  Also, whenever I double click an image, it now goes directly to Photoshop as opposed to opening in Camera Raw first like it used to.  All and any help is appeciated.  Thank you!!!
    Eric

    Curt, thank you for your response.  I did try that.  I unchecked then
    reselected all start up options and still nothing.  Any other
    suggestions? 

  • Drag n Drop in JTree - missing the visual effect

    Hi,
    I already implemented the D&D on Jtree (from a JList)
    I've implemented DropTargetListener and it works
    I've the visual effect of the Dragged object on the mouse
    I have an extended DefaultTreeCellRenderer witch I use for other things.
    My problem is how do I get the visual effect of the active tree nodes when I drag it over them ?
    thanks,
    Allen

    Drag and drop is not something you can just turn on and off im afraid. You have 2 choices:
    1. if the dragging and dropping only occurs over a single component such as your tree, you could probably make a simplified on with mouse [motion?] listeners. On a mouse drag it could check which node was under the drag point and keep that in a variable. On a mouse release it could look to see if theres a node there and if so make it a child of that node.
    2. Implement full drag and drop, subclassing the JTree and having both a DragSource and DropTarget assigned to it. Theres a load of interfaces to implement but its not too difficult. Youll also need to make a DataFlavor class to contain the node values. Its the more involved solution but would probably be better in the long run.

  • Whatever happened to the song upgrade option?

    There used to be an option to upgrade certain restricted or "protected" songs to unrestricted songs that can be played on programs like Windows Media Player. Did Apple just get rid of that?

    And it would seem the caution would be best to also mention a proper backup.
    I guess we define 'likely' differently - you make it sound like Lion has chronic issues for everyone... A full 10.7.4 did wonders for certain issues I couldn't find a way to rectify w/10.7.2 & .3 - that was an upgrade and now I'm just looking forward to new features that are only w/10.8.
    If the issues are derived from an in place update & migration or a corrupted combo update, it doesn't matter if the OS is old or new.

  • Will Apple add Places in Photos? I miss the geo-caching options we had in iPhoto and Aperture. Why was it taken away?

    I really liked the "Places" option we had in iPhoto & Aperture.  Are there any plans to bring this back in Photos?

    We hope so.  Be sure to tell Apple what missing features you'd like restored in Photos via https://www.apple.com/feedback/photos.html

  • When printing in Adobe, missing the Custom Scale option.

    Adobe Version 11.0.2
    Windows 7 64 bit.
    Doesn't matter what type of network printer I select.  When selecing to print a document, under Page Sizing & Handling, there is no "Custom Scale" option.  There is on other workstations. 
    Thank you.

    Very strange.  The only thing I can suggest is to update to 11.0.5.

  • I am missing the old view option

    I haven't used this in years, but it seems like there was an easy way to view the site structure form a hierarchal view.. ie: when I clicked on the button,I could see a graphical representationon of all the files and folders and how they linked to one another as well as any broken links, etc.
    How can I get that view in DW CS4... it seems to be gone.. darnit.
    Thanks,
    Tom

    It is there but well hidden. For good reasons - it has not kept up with some of the more recent design standards (see below)
    If you are comfortable editing the Registry in Windows - being sure to back up everything first - look for the following entry
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS4\Feature Management
    and then change key SiteMap from FALSE to TRUE.
    You may have to define the home page and the layout options in the site definition.
    Note: it does not do well with finding menus defined in css files and/or server-side includes.It was a lot more useful back in the (bad) old days of DW8.

  • Is Lightroom Creative Cloud (CC) the only upgrade option from LR 5.7?

    I currently have LR 5.7.  When I start LR a dialog box is displayed indicating that there is an upgrade available.  When I click the upgrade button it takes me to an LR Creative Cloud web page.  Am I to believe that if I want to upgrade, I have to subscribe to creative cloud?
    I really hope not!

    Thank you for your response JimHess,
    Please allow me to explain how I got to this spot:
    I have always done that method in the past as you described. But for some reason for me to receive this update of Lr5 to Lr6 (which now I see technically speaking is termed 'upgrade'), I was being directed to the page as the original poster of this thread indicated. I followed the directions by signing out then back in and had to Install Lr on to my computer. Confusing for me because I thought I could just update / upgrade from a current Catalog I have created and then follow suit as you instructed.
    Now I found the Catalog I originally updated and continued on again "File->Open Recent and choose your other catalogs" and it is working. Thank you. I now see my error by not opening the other Cats from the one that was 'upgraded'.
    Now, before I complete my other Cats with the upgrade I went to investigate the folder structure of the upgraded Cat and I see the title of my 'Cat' followed by '-2lrcat.lock' and the '-2lrcat.journal' so I have double of the files with the appended '-2' as the new to be used. Is this correct? If so what can I do with the original, can I delete?
    I am also seeing Adobe Lightroom CC 2015 no longer the LR version. Why?
    Finally, when I go to right click the Lr icon in my doc to select the Cat I wish to work from I am seeing more than I need to choose from and they are doubles. What can I do to clean this? Is it clearing the list and then going into the program from Explorer to select the newly created '-2lrcat.lock' and opening from there to start a new list for the icon in my doc?
    Thank you advance.

  • What is the best upgrade to MBP 13" 2010

    What's up!
    I going to the USA (miami in fact..) and i was wondering if some shopping to upgrade my MacBook Pro C2D 2.4, 4GB would be nice... i already have upgraded the hard disk to a 7200 RPM Seagate with 320GB
    I was thinking in two things.... but i wanted to know if there is going to be a real difference. i'm looking to spend 100 USD on the upgrade...
    One: A seagate momentus XT 500GB hard drive
    Two: An Corsair 8GB DDR3 memory kit
    I'm a light user... the most demanding software that i use is Valve's Counter Strike
    On AJA test software, my HD gave me 71,2 MB/s on it's tests
    Other sugestions are really welcome!
    Thanks from Brazil!

    My question is, there is going to be a real difference on the performance, load times, boot up?
    Remembering that i'm a light user...
    There are many variables, so no one can say for sure. That said, one way to get an idea whether more RAM will help or not, is to check Page outs and Swap used. First, use your Mac as you normally would, the longer the better (checking this right after starting up isn’t likely to show you anything). After you’ve used your Mac for awhile (again, the longer the better), go to Applications > Utilities > open ActivityMonitor > in the top menu at right, select All Processes in the drop down menu > near the bottom of the window click on System Memory. If Page outs is more that about 10% of Page ins, and/or Swap used is large, chances are good that adding RAM will help.

  • SharePoint 2013 visual upgrade: Behind the Scene

    Hello,
    I recently migrated site collection from SharePoint 2010 to SharePoint 2013. But is not visually upgraded yet. I wanted to create evaluation site collection before actual upgrading. My questions are:
    1) Will it create a new Web application?
    2) Will it extend a the existing web application?
    3) will it create only a new site collection? If yes, will the size of content database become double?
    I am worried about the size of content database, as my DB is almost 50 GB and haven't much space left.
    any help would be really appreciated.

    Hi Rizwan,
    Evaluation Site Collections is a new feature in the SharePoint 2013 upgrade story. Evaluation Site Collections lend site collection administrators the ability to try out the 2013 version of their site collection before actually upgrading the production site
    collection’s UI and content.
    An upgrade evaluation site collection creates an upgraded version of the site in a new, separate copy of the site that is running on SharePoint 2013. Unlike visual upgrade in SharePoint Server 2010, the upgrade evaluation site collection is a complete copy
    of the site collection, separate from the original. Actions taken in the upgrade evaluation do not affect the original site.
    Evaluation site collections have a default expiration period of 30 days. And the evaluation site collection will also automatically be deleted when its parent production site collection is upgraded.
    More information, please refer to the links:

  • What is the latest version of Jelly Belly for Samsung Galaxy S3?  I got missed on the last upgrade.

    My phone failed to receive the upgrade that was pushed in July.  Only received because I was having an issue with my calendar and stopped at Samsung kiosk at Best Buy in August to have it looked at.  The Samsung tech checked to make sure I had the latest software, only to find out I did not.  I was missing the latest upgrade.  When I called Verizon to find out why I did not received it as I should have, I was told that the upgrades get pushed out in batches and sometimes batches get missed.  How I can I make sure I'm not missing another upgrade?

        Catwoman279, thanks for the details. I've got the answers you need. For the most part everyone gets the updates as scheduled. However, in case you don't receive it you can reach out to us and we can push it to you. Have you since received the update on your phone?

  • Visual upgrade is disabled

    Hi,
    I have a site collection that i've migrated from 2010 to 2013 and Im trying to run the visual upgrade from Site Setting > Site collection administrators > Visual upgrade,  but both buttons are disable althought i'm site collection administrator
    or logged in as farm admin.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks a lot in advance

    Visual Upgrade was to upgrade a site from 2007 to 2010.  If you originally upgraded from 2007 to 2010 that may be why you are still seeing the Visual Upgrade Link.  But in 2013 Upgrade is no longer done using the Visual Upgrade process.  You
    should now see a Site Collection upgrade  link under the Site Collection Administration section of Site Settings.  The page at that link looks like this:
