Office Web Apps - How do I get Excel and PowerPoint to show up as options for New Documents?

When I highlight a list of documents, a ribbon shows up at the top. The left most action is "New Document". Despite running and installing Excel and PowerPoint services, the only option that shows up is Word. How do I add Excel and PowerPoint to that list?
I have confirmed that I am able to upload, view and edit Excel and PowerPoint. I just cannot find a way to add them as options in New Document.

Create Content Types, same as in 2007.
In a nutshell... Create a content type based on Document and add a PowerPoint template. Go to the library and enable Content Types in Advanced. Add the new content type to the library's list of content types. The New button will now contain the name of this new content type.
Repeat for Excel.

Office Web Apps - how to disable office web apps features for one web application

ENV: Sharepoint 2010 farm with office web apps + fast search
I have the requirement for one web application to open all its documents in client applications - I can enable feature "OpenInClient". This web application uses team site template and other web application also uses team site template. ( feature
stapling ruled out) Now I can run powershell cmdlet to enable this feature on all the currently existing site collections. But the requirement is to enable this feature for all the future site collections. This web applications has 60 k site collections
and atleast more than 10 site collections get created each day and they dont like the option to run a powershell script each day to activate this solution.
Is there any other way to by default activate new site collections on this WA to open in client applications by default (can we disable this office webapps features only on one web app)?
VM

I have learnt from this forum that it is not possible to turn off Office web apps on single web application. The line of control lies at farm level and then at site collection.
Disable

Office web apps feature not working after setup and configuration?

Hi I have installed the SP1 update and since then my office web apps features are not coming up in SharePoint. After running the updates and attaching the farm back i see the bindings and settings are applied but somehow the office web apps features are
not coming up in SharePoint. Can someone let me know what might be the issue?

Did you delete and recreate the WAC farm after you updated?

Issue with office web apps sorry, there was a problem and we can't open this document.

Hi All,
i am having issue when trying to open the word file using office web apps farm. i have multi-tier farm (2 wfe, 2 apps and 2 owa). is that something wrong with certificate or the way AAM configured. Can anyone give me some direction please?

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you failed to open the word file using office web app.
Please open the word file using office web app in other SharePoint sites and test whether this issue occurs. Also, please test whether all words have this issue.
Please reset IIS on the OWA server.
Please disconnect the SharePoint Farm from Office Web Apps and reconnect it. Then check the WOPIZone and TMG server.
Please created certificate for your PC and update mappings of IP addresses.

How do I get facebook and twitter to show up in the new notifications?

I am trying to get facebook and twitter to show up in the notifications if I swipe left.

You should also ask this in the MacBook Air forum. This is the forum for the white and black plastic MacBooks that were discontinued in 2010. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.

My old laptop crashed, how do I get music and pictures from ipod touch (2nd generation) to new laptop?

My old laptop crashed. I bought a new one, but when I loaded itunes and plugged in my ipad 2, it only added the songs that were purchased in the itunes store. I upgraded my os to 5.0 and it deleted all of my songs, a lot of my apps, and all of my pictures except for the ones on the camera roll. I have these pictures and songs on my itouch 2nd generation but I can't get it to synch with the new computer. All of the solutions I have seen online don't work. I can't upgrade to the newest operating system because it is only 2nd generation. I tried turning on Home sharing and saving to the cloud, but I can't get it to work on the itouch. Please help!

I don't have a backup copy of my old computer. I bought an external hard drive and it said it backed up, but when I plugged it into my new computer, it was empty. My old computer is not accessible. Is there a way to get the music and pictures that are on my iphone and ipod onto my itunes account on the new computer? I have already lost them on my ipad.

How do I get to the Firefox equivalent of IE's "check for newer versions of stored pages" under tools, IE options

I need the firefox equivalent of Internet Explorer's (v8) "check for newer versions of stored pages under Tools, Internet Options, Browsing history. I cannot find where this would be in firefox and have an application that depends on seeing a "fresh" copy of a page each time it's served up by the web. Please advise.

You can find the tools under the Comments menu.

Apache web server - how do I get usage and download stats

I have a website hosted on a Mac, running Mac OS 10.5
Obviously I'm using Apache as the web-server.
Is there anyway I can get some statistics on how many people are visiting the site, and when, and which files they are downloading?
Does Apache keep log files which I can then parse to get this information?

What type of account )POP3. IMAP or Exchange) do you have? My Exchange accounts only show the messages since I set up the account but that is because I have the Mail setting set for only showing 3 days to sync. I think that is the default setting since I never changed it. You can set it for no limit. There may be similar settings for the other type of mail accounts.

How can I get my iCloud calendars to show up in Outlook for Mac

I just bought a new Mac and downloaded MS Office 365 for Mac. How can I import my icloud calendar into Outlook? I can't find any concrete info anywhere online.
Thanks!

Apple's documentation doesn't mention this as far as I can see: however it's correct that subscribed calendars could not be viewed on MobileMe (though they did sync to other devices: however it would seem that what was synced was the details of the subscription, not the calendar itself, so that effectively the other device just subscribed to the calendar afresh).
I think that, subject to correction from someone who's managed to do this it's a safe assumption to say that you cannot view subscribed calendars on the iCloud website, and that this is very likely a limitation of the CalDAV process.

In Pages, How can I get headers and footers to show up on more than the first page of each section?

In Mountain Lion, I considered myself a fairly expert user of Pages. Since "upgrading" to Mavericks, I can't get even basic things to work anymore. My current problem is that the headers and footers are only showing up on the first page of each section. A related annoyance is that if I copy the information in a header or footer, all the associated formatting disappears when I paste it. But the first problem is the one that matters — headers and footers that only show up on one page sort of negate the whole point of headers and footers.

If you click the link I posted previously, it takes you right to the Pages community.

Then click New.

How do I get my desktop Mac to show an Autofill option on Firefox 8.0?

After installing 8.0, I lost the Autofill feature from my toolbar

"Why do you want to see them in the Finder?" Why not? The iPhone or iPod is essentially a flash drive and should be able to be used as such. One shouldn't have to open iPhoto to transfer pics and movies, audio recordings, etc. The smarmy attitudes of some of the posters on the support community is some bulls**t and needs to go. We are trying to bring people into the Apple community and with attitudes like some that I've seen on here, I don't blame some of the people I come across that don't like Apple.

Office Web Apps 2013 - Word app not working on Sharepoint 2013 but Excel does

Hi there!
We had some problems with Office Web Apps 2013 not working with Lync, and the status of OWA was unhealty so we decided to install some updates for OWA.
We have downloaded November 2013 update for OWA.
We found out a guide for putting updates on OWA and done this steps:
* Remove-OfficeWebAppsMachine
* Installed the november update
* Restarted OWA server
* ran: New-OfficeWebAppsFarm -InternalUrl https://owasrv.domain.local -ExternalURL
https://owasrv.domain.local -CertificateName "certname" -AllowHttp -EditingEnabled
* Restart-Service WACSM
- checked in IIS in the bindings if the site useses the correct certificate
Then we went on Sharepoint 2013 and ran some commands:
* Remove-SPWOPIBinding –All:$true
* New-SPWOPIBinding -ServerName owasrv.domain.local
* Set-SPWOPIZone –zone “external-https”
Now here are the funny things:
* Excel word app on Sharepoint 2013 works
* Word APP not working (screenshot)
* Lync 2013 powerpoint still not working (screenshot)
* status of OWA is healthy

Hi,
The Friendly name field must be unique within the Trusted Root Certificate Authorities store. In -CertificateName, enter the friendly name you gave your
certificate earlier.
Validate the configuration by navigating to the discovery URL of the Office Web Apps server. Like
https://xxx/hosting/discovery
Meanwhile, the issue is related to Lync, I recommend to you to post the question on Lync Server for further discussion via the link below.
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home?forum=ocsclients
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

Hi,
Sorry to inform you that these new features are specific to cloud Excel Web App in both SkyDrive and Office365. There is no update available for on-premise Excel Web Apps installed locally
yet. Thank you for your understanding.

Office Web Apps farm - how to make it high available

Hi there,
I have deployed OWAs for Lync 2013 with two servers in one farm. When I was testing, e.g. the case when other server is down I found out the following error:
Log Name:      Microsoft Office Web Apps
Source:        Office Web Apps
Date:          17/03/2014 22:59:54
Event ID:      8111
Level:         Error
Computer:      OWASrv02.domain.com
Description:
A Word or PowerPoint front end failed to communicate with backend machine
http://OWASrv01:809/pptc/Viewing.svc
Does that means, that OWAs cannot setup as high avaiable when using standalone OWAs only? Above error appeared when the server OWASrv01 was rebooting.

Hi Petri,
For your scenario, you have achieve a  high performance for your Office Web Apps farm but not high availability.
For performing a high availability Office Web Apps farm, you can refer to the blog:

Office web App Server Not Working Properly

Hello Everyone,
We have published Office Web Apps server externally through reverse proxy and it has some issues. Now if we browse the link
https://owas.schs.sharjah.ae/hosting/discovery (Internally) or
https://owa.schs.sharjah.ae/hosting/discovery (Externally) I get the XML Page.
Now when I try to browse any other pages in the directory for example
https://owa.schs.sharjah.ae/op/generate.aspx or another Url like
https://owa.schs.sharjah.ae/m/Presenter.aspx whether it is browsed internally and externally I get the error file not found '404' but the files do exist in the directory.
No idea on how to solve this issue, any help on this matter is really appreciated.
Regards,
Sheldon

What specific issue are you having?
Are you wanting to use the WAC to open files using the URL? If so, have you set OpenFromUrlEnabled to true? You can
check this using Get-OfficeWebAppsFarm cmdlet and Set-OfficeWebAppsFarm OpenFromUrlEnabled $true cmdlet.
I have several Office WebApp instances that I've deployed for Lync PowerPoint sharing where the setting is not enabled and I am also unable to browse to those pages, but PowerPoint sharing works fine.
