Office documents not allowed to save back to SharePoint when using the "Save As.." Sharepoint hangs trying to contact the site.

I have a user who is a Sharepoint site owner (of the site in question) who just received a new machine, but every time she opens a document from our SharePoint site and then tries the "Save As.." option it hangs trying to contact the sharepoint
site.  The specific message is "Contacting: (insert sharepoint site). Press ESC to cancel." 
Sometimes when you choose ESC it allows you to save do what Save As should have done, but other times it will hang at Not Responding and freeze the application.  I have tried repairing Office reloading IE and even gave the user a new profile, but nothing
has fixed it.
She can do this without any issue on other machines and I have found that even when I log on with my administrative privelidges I have the same issue.  I have one co-worker who was able to get things to function normally however which makes this even
more frustrating.
Any suggestions would be welcome.

Hi,
Please take a look at this thread, and see if the steps in it also work for you:

  • Mail seems to create Mail folders that are not allowed to be backed up.

    The folder in my Home>Library>Mail that had my Inbox in it was titled POP/[email protected]@myserver.net, or the specific equivalent.
    When I was backing up everything to an exterior hard drive, I got a message saying the name was too long, or had incorrect characters in it.
    I boldly shortened the name by taking the second @myserver.net off, keeping my fingers crossed, and all seemed to go well, until the next time I opened Mail, and most of my Inbox was gone. And all of the emails I had deleted in the last month or so were back in my Inbox.
    It turns out that on launching Mail, my computer had created a new POP/[email protected]@myserver.net folder, but had only transferred a small chunk of my old emails to fill it.
    So I went back and looked at the POP folder whose name I'd changed, and all the old emails were there. So I copied each item in the non-allowed folder to the Mail folder in the exterior hard drive, created a new folder there with the shortened title POP/[email protected], stuck all the items in it, just for tidiness. I was able to access these mailboxes from my Mail program.
    So now I had backed them up, which was a weight off my mind. But I believe I lost emails like this previously when backing up, and didn't figure out how to find and save them, and now they are probably gone forever.
    What I want to know is why Mail creates folders with titles that it will not allow itself to back up.
    iBook   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    Hello, and welcome to the Discussions.
    I think something else must have happened, for I have
    never had this happen. I have just tested copying my
    POP folder with the longest name, and no problem.
    The name had the same number of characters, and
    format as the following:
    [email protected]@mail.xxxxxx.net
    However, I note that the form you report (that of
    beginning with POP/) is not the current form Mail has
    used for some time, but rather would be expected to
    begin as "POP-". Nevertheless, I would not have
    expected that, alone, to cause the behavior you
    report.
    More info, please.

    Hi Ernie,
    Maybe it was something to do with the permissions. Last time I tried to verify my permissions, I was unable to. I got a message saying my disc could not connect with Disc Utility, or was disfunctional in some precarious way. A somewhat scary experience that I am not in a big hurry to repeat.
    Based partly on your info, I have decided instead to upgrade to Tiger immediately, and am hoping this will alleviate some or all aspects of these problems.
    Thanks for your input,

  • Photoshop Elements 10 will not allow me to back up the entire catalog.

    Photoshop 10 will not allow me to back up the entire catalog.  During its initial set up, when it runs the space needed, it stops at 18% and will not go beyond that
    Here is what I am doing.  In Elments Orgainizer, I am going to FILE, then selecting Back Up Catalgo to CD,DVD or Hard Drive, then I select- Full Back Up, then it goes to Calculate Total Media Space and that is where is stops at 18%

    Thanks for the response
    My OS is Win 7 Home Prem
    The catalog is over 60GB and over 31,000 images
    There are only a few videos in the catalog
    I am backing up to a hard drive that is a 2TB drive
    I can not even get to select the drive, as the system stops as it calculates the amount of space needed.

  • The shipment should not allow to save without partner forwarrding agent.

    The CR (forwarding agent) partner is set as Mandatory in the configuration for partner procedure TR, but you can save a shipment without this partner function.  We are only using Shipment type Z003 and the TR procedure is assigned, and the CR partner is set as mandatory but the system is not requiring it.  Why isn't the Mandatory flag working in create mode?  If there is a CR on a shipment already, it will not let you delete it, but it will let you create a shipment and save without the CR partner.  See Shipmentxxx in DX1, it was created and saved without any partners on the partner tab.
    The shipment should not allow to save without partner forwarrding agent.

    Hi,
    Check config for 'Set Up Partner Determination for Shipments'.
    I believe the Partner function for Forwarding agent is FA and here you are talking about CR.
    Also make sure you Partner determination procedure is reflecting in your Shipment type.

  • Adobe Acrobat 7: Can not insert pages, changing the document: Not Allowed, but Security Method set t

    In Adobe 7, I need to add some pdf pages to the end of a document, but the insert pages (as well as all other items under Document> are greyed out.
    On the document properties\ Security> the document restrictions summary says "Changing the Document: Not Allowed", but the Security Method in the drop down above is set to "No Security"
    Thanks!

    If there are form fields, then whoever added them probably used the forms menu, not the Acrobat form fields. Thus the PDF was converted to Designer and you are out of luck. The FORMS button found in various places in Acrobat 7 and latter takes you to Designer, not the Acrobat form tools. The latter are located in the tools menu.

    Hi,
    One thing that could help is to look at the info in the agent logs, first increase Debug Logging Level, then restart the agent server and click thru your app, then look in agent runtime logs which should have more descriptive errors. For more detail on how to do this, try http://wikis.sun.com/display/OpenSSO/GlassFishAgentTrouble#GlassFishAgentTrouble-generaltips
    You could look on this page, which is mostly based on GlassFish server but could help for other servers as well.
    http://wikis.sun.com/display/OpenSSO/GlassFishAgentTrouble
    I have not installed either of the policy agents you mentioned. But with some of the other agents, like the Sun App server 9 (GlassFish) agent, it comes with a sample application, and I find that this is the best way to ensure your setup is good and you are following all steps etc. Once sample app is up, you can try your own apps with confidence.
    Since you already have the SJSAS 9 installed, maybe you could create a new domain and download/install the SJSAS 9 policy agent on the new domain. Then try out the sample app?
    Or if those other agents have a sample app then try it out.

  • TM will not allow me to back up

    Hello
    TM will not allow me to back up. I keep getting this error message coming up "The backup volume could not be found"
    I have followed the advice given on the support pages. i.e.
    1. From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
    2. From the Viewmenu, choose Time Machine, or click Time Machine in the Dock.
    3. Click "Choose Backup Disk...".
    4. Select your backup location again.
    This has made no difference!
    I have tried two portable HDD (Western Digital 120GB & 150GB). TM will not work on either.
    I have followed the advice on changing the partition type and erasing the disk, to start a fresh, again following the advice on the support pages: i.e.
    1. Open Disk Utility.
    2. Click the Partitions tab.
    3. From the Volume Scheme pop-up menu, choose the desired number of partitions.
    4. Click the Options button.
    5. Select a new partition scheme:
    Use "GUID" partition scheme if the disk will be used with Time Machine and a Intel-based Mac.
    6. Click OK.
    7. Click Apply.
    However I still get the error message, "The backup volume could not be found", when I try to back up.
    Help, any ideas.
    Thanks

    Dhamma,
    Try this,
    Go to System Preferences --> Time Machine.
    Click "Change Disk..." button.
    Select "None" and click "Stop Backing Up".
    Now click "Choose Backup Disk" and reselect your drive again.
    Close System Preferences and try backing-up again.
    If this does not work, then the following KB article may apply in your case: (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1170)
    “When using your Time Capsule for Time Machine backups in Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard or later, the Time Capsule backup volume may not mount and Time Machine may not be able to back up to it. This alert may appear:
    "Backup volume cannot be found"
    This can happen if the Time Capsule disk has a long name.
    Rename the backup volume via AirPort Utility:
    Open AirPort Utility (in /Applications/Utilities).
    Click your Time Capsule's icon.
    Click "Manual Setup".  
    Enter the password for the Time Capsule if prompted.
    Click the Disks icon.
    Highlight the volume name that appears under "Time Capsule Disk".
    In the Name field, enter a name for the volume that is less than 27 characters long.
    Click Update.
    After Time Capsule restarts, on the Mac(s)using Time Machine, open Time Machine preferences and reselect the Time Capsule volume.”
    Let us know if either of these suggestions help.

  • Why am I not allowed to save a file with an Admin account?

    I'm right to administrate the cpu (a tick in the box of user account), but I'm not allowed to save a file (like php.ini or .bash_profile when opened with textmate or textEdit, even using nano). Does anyone have some ideas about that? May I have a hint or a link toward a result?
    Thank you for your help,
    Patweb
    OSX 10.6.8 on new iMac 27" (last generation)

    The php.ini file can be accessed by various file paths, including via its traditional /etc/php.ini location and by the /private/etc/php.ini path referenced in this thread, and this is a protected system directory, and the files in this location can only be modified with root access (whether via sudo or with the root user when enabled) or by reconfiguring the access control lists or protections on the files and directories to allow access.
    To locate the file, use the locate command:
    $ locate php.ini
    /private/etc/php.ini
    /private/etc/php.ini.applesaved
    /private/etc/php.ini.default
    /private/etc/php.ini.server-default

    For details on the Mac directory and file structure layout, there is a write-up here; that goes into the various directories that exist on Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server.
    While I am well aware a user should not require sudo to access files in a user's home directory, there are cases where a user is accessing .bash_profile in other users' directories, and this too can require sudo.   I've also encountered mis-protected login directories, though these are less common.
    The setup that OP was encountering appeared to be triggered by standard system security, and these sorts of details are discussed in the security manuals for the various releases, as well as the directory and file system link above.

  • The configuration file did not contain well formed AppV configuration XML - When using Office 2013 ODT package

    All,
    I'm experiencing an issue where when using the Office 2013 package pulled down from ODT, that if I try to change the locations of either InfoPath Filler 2013 or Publisher 2013 from the default of Microsoft Office 2013 then I receive the message "The
    configuration file did not contain well formed AppV configuration XML. Please check the management server event log for more information". If I check Applications and Services\Microsoft\AppV\Server-Management\Admin the error displayed there is "An
    error was encountered parsing dynamic configuration file '0'. However I am able to change the shortcut location for all other applications except the above 2. I've tried redownloading the files using the ODT and also changing the version number (so far I've
    tried both the 15.0.4631.1002 and 15.0.4659.1001 with the same result).
    As all I'm interested in so far is having a package which contains Visio and Project I've tried following the article to exclude all the other Office elements:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/library/jj219426(v=office.15).aspx#BKMK_ExcludeAppElement. However the package looks to be the same and when I load it into the management console all the options and elements to Office 2013 are available like they were before
    when I hadn't set the exclude tags so I'm not sure whether the ExcludeApp parameters actually work correctly.
    This then brings me onto the 3rd issue I've experienced. I have a group for the Visio users and I've set custom security for them to have Visio delivered to them but not Project and then a seperate group for just Project users who will have Project delivered
    to them but not have Visio. When testing this sometimes seems to work but other times it seems to trip out and a user just in the Project or Visio group will get all of the Office 2013 applications and under the default location of Microsoft Office 2013. When
    trying to spot correlation with this it appears random and can happen to any user on any device. We have sequenced a few applications ourselves where different parts are needed for different users and we have successfully managed this using different security
    groups for different applications, just as I'm trying here with Office 2013.
    Has anyone else experienced the issue with the "did not contain well formed XML" as at the start of the post and how were you able to resolve this? Also has anyone any advice on how to troubleshoot the issue with the security seeming to trip out
    and publish all applications within a package to a user regardless of whether they are in the correct group or not?
    The management / publishing servers are 5.0.1224.0 which is SP1 HF4 and the clients are on SP2 HF5.
    Thanks

    Nicke,
    The config files are UTF-8. I did find the same article as yourself, however when searching for the value ‘TakeoverExtensionPointsFrom46=’ within either of the configuration.xml files that text isn’t found.
    No sinister reason not to share the file used, just it’s the same structure as referenced in the article:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn745895(v=office.15).aspx. The only difference being that I’m using ProPlusVolume and I’ve set a version number (which is the October
    2014 update). I’ve even looked to follow the above example as closely as possible in just using the ExcludeApp ID of Access and InfoPath, just to try and prove the process. However I still get the usual full package. The version of the Click-to-Run setup.exe
    I’m using is 15.0.4623.1001, so later than the version specified at the end of that article which is 15.0.4619.1000. Where can I expect to see the elements excluded? Will it be when loading the package into the management console or would it just not appear
    on the machine when delivered?
    <Configuration>
      <Add SourcePath="C:\OfficeDeploymentToolV2" Version="15.0.4659.1001" OfficeClientEdition="32">
        <Product ID="ProPlusVolume">
          <Language ID="en-us" />
    <ExcludeApp ID="Access" />
    <ExcludeApp ID="InfoPath" />
        </Product>
      </Add>
    </Configuration>
    3). We’ve not used global publishing in our environment yet so I will try that. I’ve set both GlobalRefreshEnabled and GlobalRefreshOnLogon to True and when using the command Get-AppvPublishingServer on the client I’m testing with I can see this is pulled
    through correctly. I’ve also added the client name to the AD group used to grant access to the package and it is published. However nothing is pulling through onto the Client, so are there any steps I’ve missed or misinterpreted when looking to set this up?
    I guess the global publishing is there to keep in with licensing for Office being per device? On a slight aside, as Windows licensing is being changed to allow per user licensing
    http://www.zdnet.com/microsoft-to-make-per-user-windows-licensing-available-to-enterprise-customers-7000035401/ does anyone know if there are any plans to allow for Office / Project / Visio licenses to go per user as well? We’re a volume license customer
    rather than subscription based so I think a lot of the options to selectively deploy Visio and Project are excluded for us.
    Dan,
    Ok that explains why the security could be tripping out then and leading to this result. As above I’ll try with global publishing and see how I get on.
     From what I’ve read / watched  I think only one Office 2013 package can be published to a machine, so we would be unable to have a separate package for Visio and a separate package for Project and then attempt to deliver
    them both together. If a user wanted both Project and Visio then I guess we’d need to have a combined Project and Visio package to cover than scenario, but then 2 more separate Project and Visio packages for those who would only want either Project and Visio
    (I think).
    The scenario we’re looking at is to see whether we are able to deliver Project and / or Visio to different users through an AppV package and this will then cover users on XenApp or on fat clients. Only a small proportion of our
    users will need access to Project and / or Visio so therefore we’d only have a small amount of Project and Visio licenses.
    However from what I’ve tested up to this point and from what I’ve picked up from Forum posts / watched on TechEd sessions is that as publishing is Global and is unable to use different security groups for different elements of the
    suite, then using Office through AppV is only suitable if you will be delivering the whole suite (including Project and Visio) to all of your users. So in a scenario where you’d only want certain elements to be delivered to a handful of users then you’d need
    to keep with traditional ESD methods to have this installed onto fat clients and steer clear of XenApp. If wanting to install to XenApp then a lockdown tool like AppSense or AppLocker would also need to be brought into the equation.
    Is my understanding above correct or have I missed some options / methods?
    If the full Office package is always delivered but a company only has Office licenses and no Project and Visio licenses for all its users, how do they stop Project and Visio being delivered and being available? Or again if you have
    this use case is the AppV method one which will be unsuitable?
    Thanks

  • When I send open office documents to a PC user (even saved and sent in the word format), the document reaches with serious format changes and is rendered unusable to the PC user. How to overcome the problem??

    When I send open office documents to a PC user (even saved and sent in the word format), the document reaches with serious format changes and is rendered unusable to the PC user. How to overcome the problem??

    I don't use OpenOffice (I have it on my internal just to play around with, but seldom even open it). I do use MS Word and have few problems sharing files - it's usually a font issue so I tend to use MS fonts for documents that I know will need to be shared.
    Unless you need to make collaborative changed to the document, you could always save it as a pdf file. With Acrobat Pro you can even save a pdf file to a Word document with very little change in formatting.
    If I were you - and you have a need for .doc or .docx files to travel and play nicely - I'd just invest in MS Office. If you don't have to send a Word file, try pdf.

  • Edge not loading when using the go-back / go-forward buttons from the browser?

    Hello everyone,
    I'm working on a test site where the Edge animation is part of a slider using jQueryTools.  The animation works when you click the menu options, going from Page C, to page A, to page B, back to page C which has the Edge animations.
    But when using the go-back and go-forward buttons of the browser, it doesn't work.  It don't even show the preloading gif.
    I already added the meta data for avoiding loading the page into the cache, added the function to call the Edge animate in a $(document).ready event for jQuery.
    The setup will get  a little bit complicated, as I have 2 different Edge animations going on, and will use the bootstrap function to show multiple edge objects.
    The main issue for now, is to check if anyone has experienced the issue of the go-back/forward buttons.
    Thanks for your time and help!

    So i got the following error message:
    Uncaught ReferenceError: AdobeEdge is not defined
    This happens when using Chrome and going from link to link and getting back to the page wehere we are using Edge Animate.
    The first time that it loads, is fine. 
    Any idea?

  • Is there a capability to save/export the time capsule settings file when using the iphone/ipad airport utility. the "file" button does not exist on the latest airport utility app.

    is there a capability to save/export the new airport 2TB time capsule settings file when using the iphone/ipad airport utility. set-up wasn't a problem but the "file" button does not exist on the latest airport utility app v6.3 to save the configuration file.

    the "file" button does not exist on the latest airport utility app v6.3 to save the configuration file.
    Sounds like you are a bit confused with version numbers.
    Latest AirPort Utility version for the iPhone / iPad is 1.3.3.  There is no option or capability to export/import settings on the iOS version(s) of AirPort Utility.....although you could take a series of screen shots and save them for future reference.
    AirPort Utility 6.3.x is found on a Mac.....not on iPhone / iPad. Export and Import options are found under the File menu in 6.3.x.
