Not able to open SharePoint 2010 Site in SharePoint Designer 2010

Hi all,
I have SharePoint 2010 Environment and when I try to open the site in SharePoint Designer with the regular URL (https://xyz.com)
some time i am getting error "'The server sent a response which SharePoint Designer could not parse. If you are trying to connect to a Microsoft SharePoint Foundation server, check with the server's administrator to make sure Microsoft
Foundation is installed properly" and some time its work fine and open the site without any issue... but when i try to open the site with the internal URL like (http://Servername:Port) it work perfectly.
Even i am not able to open the custom workflow in SharePoint designer whenever i am able to open the site with my regular URL (https://xyz.com) and getting error "Failed to load the configuration file for the workflow", but with
the Internal URL (http://Servername:Port) i am able to open that workflow without any issue.
Please suggest!!!

Hi NaveenKSah,
According to your description, my understanding is that you got an error when you opened AAM url of a site with SharePoint 201o Designer.
Please try to add <remove verb="*" path="*.asmx" /> after <httpHandlers> in the site web.config file, compare the result.
Note: before changing the web.config file, please make a backup for the file.
More information, please refer to the link:

I hope this helps.

Not able to open SharePoint workflow task in Outlook

I have InfoPath forms in a forms library on SharePoint and associated workflows that were created in SharePoint Designer. The workflow includes regular tasks and approval tasks. I have full permissions to everything in SharePoint. I would receive tasks in
Outlook and be able to open them without any issues. Suddenly, I can no longer open them. Other users who receive these tasks are still able to open them. I first get the message "Could not open 'https://sitename/-layouts/formResource.aspx?templateFile=https://sitename/Workflows/WorkflowName/TaskName.xsn'.
When I click OK, I get the message "Outlook cannot open a new form. To open the file, access to the following form template is required: https://sitename/-layouts/formResource.aspx?templateFile=https://sitename/Workflows/WorkflowName/TaskName.xsn".
Any suggestions on how to resolve?

Found some solutions that might be what you're experiencing. Be sure to read all the way to the end for a couple differrent fixes:

Unable to open Sharepoint site with Designer "Folder name is not valid"

Hi all,
I'm using SharePoint 2013 with SharePoint Designer 2013, but currently I'm facing a weird behaviour.
I can open my preproduction SharePoint portal with SharePoint Designer 2013, but when I'm trying to open my production environment, I'm receiving the error "The folder name is not valid". Even it doesn't ask for credentials.
Anyone knows what is happening?

There are few other options people used to solve this issue. refer to the following posts if you haven't so far. hope it helps.

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.

Can't open sharepoint site with sharepoint designer 2010

Hi there,
We've installed SP Foundation + SP Server 2010 and set up some sites.
when we tried to open it with SP Designer 2010, it fails and gave us some errors.
opening SPD through site actions :
unable to open website. possible causes:
1. the web server may not have sharepoint server installed
2. the web server may be temporarily out of service
3. if you are connecting through a proxy server, the proxy settings may be incorrect
4. an error may have occured in the web server
opening sharepoint site through SPD:
the folder 'http://mysp.domain.com/site/default.aspx' isn't accessible. the folder may be located in an unavailable location, protected with a password, or the filename contains a / or \.
the thing is ... we have no problem with sharepoint designer 2007.
any idea?

Hi p.andrew,
If you want to open the site use SPD, you should enable the Client Integration for the web application at first.
Here are the steps:
1.
Go to this location : “Central administration” > “Security” > “Specify authentication provider”;
2.
Select the Web Application which you want to edit use SPD (SharePoint Designer 2010), and click the “Default” below the ‘Zone’;
3.
Select the “Yes” radio button
in the Client Integration section, and click the ‘Save’ Button;
4.
Close and re-Open the IE;
5.
Try to Open the site using SPD.

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

Thanks in advance for support
Kristen Stewart.

You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version, 10.3 or later, is for Intel Macs only, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.0.1.152 is for Lion.
* Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC Macs, you need to go here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. Flash Player 10.1.102.64 is the one you download. More information here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
(If you are running a PPC Mac with Flash Player 10.1.102.64 and are having problems with watching videos on FaceBook or other sites, contributor Texas Mac Man suggests the following solution which fools the site into thinking that you are running the latest version:)
Download this http://www.steelbin.com/FPforFBPPC.zip to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.

MAC's not able to open a form

I created a form in LifeCycle Designer in 2009 and revised it in 2010. The form was distributed through Acrobat Pro on a PC. When the link is available on a website folks with MAC's (version 10.1.3 are not able to open it. Is this a common issue? Do I need to redo the form again in Designer and then bring it into Acrobat Pro X to distribute it? The only ones haveing problems witrh the form are on MAC's.

The default PDF viewer on the Mac is the Preview application. It does not support XFA-based PDF forms, which is what LiveCycle Designer creates. It has lousy support for forms created in Acrobat as well, so it should be avoided for PDF forms. The PDF viewer on the Mac with the best support for PDF forms is Adobe Reader/Acrobat, and the most recent version/update the better.

I am not able to open my file! Captivate 5

I don’t know who else to send this to right now, but I have been working on a project that is DUE. I am not sure why, but I am not able to open the file. Please help me are direct me to someone that can.
Here's the error message received:
Adobe Captivate could not open, "file name" Ensure that:
File is not open already
File is not damaged
The hard disk has enough space
Close all windows
I need this file open asap.
And yes...I cleared the Cache

Hello,
This is by design: I failed to explain well. The file exists as long as the file is open, sort of protection that it is not changed by someone else. It will disappear when you close the file. But the first error message at your originial question pointed perhaps to the fact that the file was not closed in a normal way, hence the lock file was perhaps still there. If you deleted the lock file you could have opened the file again, it was no longer protected. Hope my explanation is now a bit clear?
