Not able to open office documents from SharePoint site using Forms auth on a Mac with Office 2011

I posted the same question on the Mac Office forum (http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macoffice2011-macstart/not-able-to-open-office-documents-from-sharepoint/7fba517b-ebd1-4e90-a54a-c70c5f035146?tm=1418836613595) but figured it's probably more
of a SharePoint question so I'm going to try here as well.
We just discovered an issue where a user logs into a SharePoint site using Forms based authentication. When clicking on an Office file they get
'Sorry, this site hasn't been shared with you' message:
The user can download the file and can also open the file within the browser (Office Web apps). This SharePoint site is on a Web app that uses mixed authentication (forms for external partners) and Windows/Kerberos for internal employees.
When logging into this same site as an internal user I am able to open the file just fine.
I checked the 'Microsoft Document Connection' settings and selected and deselected 'Enable Basic Authentication' and neither helped.
I also tried to add the site URL under 'Microsoft Document Connection' -> Add connection -> Connect to a SharePoint site. When I put the site URL in and click 'Connect', I get an error saying that 'Only connection to SharePoint or OneDrive
servers are supported' message. If I try the same thing as an internal user using Windows/Kerberos authentication I am able to connect to the site just fine.
Any ideas??

Hi Szamir,
As you are using Form Based authentication to open the documents from SharePoint site, I recommend to check the things below:
Make sure that the user has permission to view the documents in the site.
Please select "Sign me in automatically" when you sign in the login page.

I am getting following error while opening Excel document from SharePoint site.
This issue appears when we open Excel document from Windows>> Run using below mentioned command:
Excel.exe "{File Name}"
If once I go to Excel back stage and browse for the SharePoint location, then this problem disappears.

Hi Amit Bansal,
Thanks for posting in MSDN forum.
This forum is for developers discussing developing issues involve Excel application.
According to the description, you got an error when you open the document form SharePoint site.
Based on my understanding, this issue maybe relative to the SharePoint, I would like move it to
SharePoint 2013 - General Discussions and Questions forum.
The reason why we recommend posting appropriately is you will get the most qualified pool of respondents, and other partners who read the forums regularly can either share their knowledge or learn from your interaction with us.
Thanks for your understanding.

The issue happend more than 1 year, if you can share something insight that will very helpful. Thank you!

Not able to extract performance data from .ETL file using xperf commands. getting error "Events were lost in this trace. Data may be unreliable ..."

Not able to extract performance data from .ETL file using xperf commands.
Xperf Commands:
xperf –i C:\TempFolder\Test.etl -o C:\TempFolder\BootData.csv –a process
Getting following error after executing above command:
"33288636 Events were lost
in this trace.

This is usually caused
by insufficient disk bandwidth for ETW lo
gging.

the buffer size.
Doubling these values would be a good first at

Please note, though, that
this action increases the amount of me

See "xperf -help start"

I changed page size file but its does not work for me.
Any one have idea, how to solve this problem and extract ETL file data.

I want to mention one point here. I have total 4 machines out of these 3 machines above
commands working properly. Only one machine has this problem.<o:p></o:p>
Hi,
I consider that you can try to use xperf to collect the trace etl file and see if it can be extracted on this computer:

Unable to edit document from SharePoint 2007 using Office 2013 and IE 11

I am getting the following error when I try to edit a document from SharePoint 2007: "Edit document
requires a Windows Sharepoint services-compatible application and Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or greater". I am using Windows 7 with Office 2013 and Internet Explorer 11. Troubleshooting steps that I've tried so far (that haven't worked) are as follows:
1) repaired Office; 2) switched from 64 bit version of IE to 32 bit version; 3) moved the owssupp.dll from C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office14\ to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office15; 4) tried removing old versions of Office (but
I still need to use Office Communicator 2007 r2 and couldn't figure out how to get rid of the Office14 files from Program Files); and 5) running SharePoint in IE compatibility mode. Please advise...thanks!

Hi,
It seems you installed mixed version Office2007/2010/2013 on your client machine?
I would suggest you remove all Office 2007 and 2010 version, and reinstall Office 2013(include Office Tools->Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Support component) on your machine, and make sure "Open SharePointDocuments class" add-on is enabled
from IE11, then check if it could fix the issue.
If above works, please test again after installing the Office Communicator 2007 r2 on your machine.

Not able to open XMind files from IE in read only mode

I have configured my SharePoint Farm to support .xmind file types
Below are the steps I have done
1.
Added an entry in DOCICON.XML
    <Mapping Key="xmind" Value="xmind_file1.png" EditText="XMind Mapping Software" OpenControl="SharePoint.OpenDocuments"/>
2. Added an entry in htmltransinfo.xml
    <Mapping Extension="xmind" AcceptHeader="application/vnd.xmind.workbook" HandlerUrl="" ProgId=""/>
3. Added a MiME type 'application/vnd.xmind.workbook' in the Inetmgr.
Now, xmind files are getting detected, but I am not able to open xmind files in read only mode from IE.
Xmind files are working perfectly from Mozilla, but my client wants the xmind to be working perfectly from IE.
Need a help on this issue....

Hi Aries,
   Please find the screenshot below , while I am trying to open the xmind file in read only mode. It is redirecting the user to a blank page...
Also please find the extract from the fiddler when trying to open it after selecting the read only mode

Hi Rohit ,
I had copied these .class & .xml files under Myclasses -> oracle.apps.icx and oracle.apps.po and oracle.apps.fnd was same which comes part of the standard OA tutorial.
I copied same under Myprojects as well.
you have to decompile the class file into java file and then place it in Myproject directory , also copy all dependency files like BC4J components , and then
try to run from Jdeveloper .
Alternatively you can get the entire ICX folder and zip it and add it via library .

I am not able to open word documents

All of a sudden I find that I am not able to open my Word Application....any idea? Thanks in advance.

You need to take your machine to a local PC/Mac specialist and have them upgrade you to 10.6.8, create a backup plan etc.
iCloud is with 10.7+ only and for a 10.5 era machine I don't advise you to upgrade to 10.7, it's just going to have to pay a lot for all new versions of software on a older machine, some that are not even ready yet.
http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
10.6 will run all your present software, 10.7 will not, perhaps a few.
10.6 freshly installed with upgraded versions of your software and your files returned will fix you up great until you can buy a new 10.8 machine likely released after this summer.
10.5 users like yourself haven't been getting security or stability updates from Apple since July 2011, so it's likely you have been infected with the latest malware or something we can't fix for you.
Good Luck
Seek attention right away and backup your files off the machine as soon as possible.

I am not able to open the pdf attachments that someone sent me it comes up with a gray box saying adobe cannot open?

Make sure the pdf has the '.pdf' extension on the file name. I've seen this a few times and adding the extension usually solves the problem.
