Open .sit File

I am trying to uninstall Norton Antivirus. I downloaded an uninstall.sit file from their web site. For some reason, Text Edit is associated with this type file. How can I change the file association so that the file will run?

Locate the file in the Finder.
Do a 'Get Info' from the menu or right/control click...note the open menu.
You can choose to open it one time with whatever or to associate all files of that type with one particular application.
.sit files may require you to download a compatible version of StuffIt.

When Opening Site File Left Side Comes up Blank!

When we open our site from Go live (Open Recent), it usually has the right side filled out with "edit" side and the left side is blank but can be connected. For some reason now it appears to be opening the site file as usual and then when it finishes it comes up as completed, and the left side which *usually has our data, is now totally blank!
We then went to "our Documents" and opened it from the computer file instead, and it worked one time, but not subsequent times. We were able to back it up and have been using that back up on our "Maxtor External Drive" as a way to publish and edit.
The Maxtor "backed up file" has been working for us on the orginal computer that did not pull it up. We even tried loading the file on an additional computer that has GoLive. It worked fine there, so we concluded that the memory on the original computer was just not enough, or that the computer was going out, and that we would just edit from the backed up file on Maxtor for now.
This is not the case since NOW the backed up file we saved on our Maxtor will not open the site any longer. It is blank on the left side just as it had been doing on the original computer.
Our business website is at stake now! Help!

Thank you so much for replying, we have been in a panic here at our business since it is 100% mail/Internet order!
That was the last thing we tried, We created a "New Site" and imported the backed up "site file" from our Maxtor back up (even though it was blank apparently!). This seems to be working for right now, hopefully it wont go unexpectedly blank again!
We are moving to Dream weaver Monday, hopefully we will be able to transfer it with no problem? We would be tranfering the "site file" off of Maxtor. It did not have a web content, data, etc. folder for the new site. Is this going to be a problem when transferring?

Can't open .Sit files

I've been trying to install some drivers that download as .sit files. I then can't open these files. Any suggestions out there?

Bartley,
You will have to install Stuffit Expander.
Please read: Mac OS X 10.4: Where is StuffIt Expander?
Allume StuffIt Expander doesn't come with Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger.
But Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger lets you compress and decompress archive (.zip) files that work with both Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows.
If you'd like to use StuffIt Expander too, for example, to open .sit or .sitx compressed files, you can download it from the Allume Systems website.

Problem Opening Site Files in iWeb 3.0.4

Having a problem opening different sites, I use seperate iWeb files for each site in one folder and now only one default site will appear when opening iWeb or trying to open any different site(file). I've done permissions and restarts but still no success. This just started the other day, I would appreciate any advice, thanks in advance.

In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
NOTE: If you repair disk permissions with Disk Utility on your boot drive you will have to rerun the script with Terminal to make the Library folder visible again.
For opening your domain file in Lion for the first time or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
Just launch the applicaiton, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
Or you can download an already compiiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.

Which application should I use to open .sit files?

I'm trying to open a .sit file but a window pops saying that there's no application with which to open it.
Help please,
Thanks

Are you trying to install from the original CDs, or a copy someone gave to you?
I have only CS1, but I would think Adobe CS2 should have an installer application not dependent on Stuffit since it doesn't mention anything about that in the support doc.

Can not open .sit files any more

I get a warning that it is not a compressed file. I downloaded a new copy of Stuffit 11 and it dosen't work either. The files show as an icon of a little brown suitcase ant the suffix is .sit. If you look under get info it says that it is a stuffit archive. I have been having this problem for several months. I remember that used to work automaticly in earlyer revisions of SO 10.4.

Hi Robert
Start Stuffit and open the Preferences
scroll down the list and click on the Stuffit format
the panel on the right gives the extn (sit)
it should be Assigned to Expander
click on the Assign to Expander button anyway
close prefs and try again

HAVE NEW 13.3 MAC AIR AND when using it to open sites in safari I have no issue until I go to a link page that is a pdf file or I am trying to save the screen info as a pdf. I only get a black screen with no data, cannot find solution in help menu

HAVE NEW 13.3 MAC AIR (previously, still have 13.3 MCbook pro which works captures what I am looking for an answer to)
when i open sites in safari the page opens fine if it is not a pdf based page.
Once i open a site that has a link to another page that is a pdf based page the page comes up as a black screen with no info showing
If I open a site that gices me an open to save a file to a word, excel type document or a pdf , everything works fine until I try to save the information to a PDF and again the screen goes black

If you delete all the Adobe Reader stuff it will probably fix this. For almost everything, the Apple pdf handling works better.

Unable to open Office files on SharePoint 2010 sites on Windows Server 2008 R2

Setup: Windows SharePoint Server 2010 sp1 on Windows Server 2008 R2 (hosted on VMWare VSphere ESXi 5.1)
Secured using Domain SSL from GlobalSign.
Client OS: Windows 7 Professional 32bit & Windows XP SP3 32 bit
Browsers: IE10, IE9,IE8
Office: Office 2010, Office 2010 sp2 (both 32bit), Office 2007
Problem Description: Only recently, users started having issues with opening Office files (Word, Excel) on SharePoint sites. When you click on an Office file e.g. Word Document, it comes up with the option to select "Ready only" or "Edit"
and choosing either options and re-entering the login credentials results in the
application hanging. If you leave it for a while (about 5 minutes) sometimes the file opens and other times it gives the error "Could not open https://portal.com/XXX/XXX/Document.docx". Even when it opens, it's extremely
sluggish and can't do anything other than end it via Task Manager. Same with excel files.
This happens to all the users all different OS and browsers.
On XP Pro SP3 w/ IE8, when you click on the file, the login prompt keeps popping back up repeatedly and if you click cancel, the file loads up anyway but no way of saving back onto the SharePoint site.
IMPORTANT: One exception is when logged in as a Site Collection Administrator, it
works like a dream bizarrely!!!! Opens, Edits and saves back fine on the SharePoint site.
Have tried following:
1. Repaired Office 2010 Pro; Uninstalled/Re-installed Office 2010 Pro
2. Reset Browser, unticked automatically detect proxy settings.
3. Emptied OfficeOfflineCache on Client
4. Removed WebDAV from the SharePoint server
5. Added Antivirus folder exclusion (We use SEP 11) on the SharePoint Server
Note: PDF files opens fine for all users.
I would immensely appreciate if anybody has got any advice/pointers/suggestions. Desperately out of ideas at the moment.
regards,
Compter Sez No!

Hi,
According to your description, When you try to open a Microsoft Office document from a SharePoint 2010 site in a client application, the document opens slowly and you are prompted to enter your credentials multiple times.
This issue may be because of SharePoint Web Front End (WFE) server(s) has Antivirus software installed and the exceptions are not set correctly.
I recommend to remove the antivirus software or set the correct permissions for the antivirus software to resolve the issue.
To configure the antivirus exceptions, please follow the guidelines in the below articles:
KB943620:
Folders to exclude when you perform a file-level antivirus scan on a server operating system.
KB952167:
Certain folders may have to be excluded from antivirus scanning when you use a file-level antivirus program in SharePoint.
KB943556:
Recommended file and folder exclusions for Microsoft Forefront Client Security or Forefront Endpoint Protection 2010.
Best regards.
Thanks

The only way I can open a new tab is by right-clicking a bookmarked site and selecting "Open in a New Tab." I can't click on the New Tab + or CTR+T or open via File. WHY?!?

The only way I can open a new tab in Firefox is by right-clicking a bookmarked site and selecting "Open in a New Tab." I can't click on the New Tab + or CTR+T or open via File. WHY don't the other means work?

The Ask Toolbar is causing that in the Firefox 3.6.13+ versions. Uninstall that extension.
There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
* Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
* Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons

What is the best way to open a .sit file?

I downloaded my first .sit file today and thought double-clicking on it would open it with Stuffit Expander (which I also thought was included software, but apparently not -- at least not according to Spotlight). Instead, it for some reason defaulted to Microsoft Word to open it. Since the .sit file is a program that of course didn't work.
When I checked VersionTracker I noticed that Stuffit Expander has a pretty mediocre user rating.
*Is there a preferred way to expand .sit files?*
Replies appreciated.

Expander has been working great for many years. Has something changed?
I don't know but its MacUpdate rating is 3 stars (out of 5) and its VersionTracker rating is 2 stars (out of 5), so I concluded there must be something about it people aren't happy with.

Sorry, we couldn't open your file using this feature. Visio Web Access is not available on this site.

Recently installed Service Pack 1 in SharePoint Server 2013 Farm, post upgrade we are experiencing issue when opening visio documents:
I am trying to open .vsdx (visio 2013) file but encounter following issue:
Sorry, we couldn't open your file using this feature. Visio Web Access is not available on this site.
Under Document library-->Library settings-->Advanced Settings
Still I cant open file in browser as we always used to. Unfortunately we don't have Visio services in Farm.
can you share your experiences regarding this issue post Sp1 SharePoint Server 2013.
Thank You

Hi Octopus,
Based on the error message, it seems that the Visio Graphics Service is not started or the Enterprise feature is not enabled.
I recommend to check the things below:
Go to Central Administration > System Settings > Manage service on server > check if the Visio Graphics Service is started > then click Application Management > Manage service applications > check if the Visio Graphics Service application
is created.
Go to the root site settings page of the site where you got this error, click Site collection features to check if the SharePoint Server Enterprise Site Collection Features is enabled.
Go to the site settings page of the site where you got this error, click Manage site feature to check if the SharePoint Server Enterprise Site Features is enabled.

When I try to open a file from Constant Contact or other web sites it only allows me to save it not open it.

I used to be able to just open the files. I thought it was a constant contact problem but it works fine in Safari.

Hi oakcliff,
Thank you for your question. It could possibly be a saved Application preference for the file type or can be a preference for the site that was stored.
I would recommend to reset Firefox to restore the defaults for that preference and then try to open the attachment one more time. There will be an option to remember the preference if I remember correctly.
Please post back with your results, it can help other users.

This Adobe muse site file requires a newer version of Adobe Muse. I want to comeback to old version Adobe muse i need help to open my file thanks

Hi,
You may need to design the site again in older version OR may be copy and paste in place from new to old except what is new in the latest version.
Hope that helps!
Kind Regards,

Opening PDF Files in Adobe Reader XI directly from SharePoint 2013 Site

I am trying to open PDF files in Adobe Reader XI directly from a SharePoint 2013 document library using Internet Explorer 11. When I click the file name it immediately opens the file in Adobe Reader, however it is downloading and opening the file locally
from the Temporary Internet Files location. If I add a comment to the PDF file, and save it will perform a Save As and the location will default to the temporary folder.
If instead of clicking the file name, I click the ellipses in SharePoint, copy the file URL, and go to Adobe Reader, click File > Open and paste the link into the file name, Adobe Reader will correctly open the file directly from the SharePoint site and
prompt for "Open and Checkout, Open, or Cancel".
Is there a way to get it so that when I click the file in IE, I get the same functionality as a File > Open in Adobe Reader?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
According to your description, you want to open pdf file in the Adobe Reader directly from document library.
I suggest you do as the followings:
1. In SharePoint Central Administration site, click Application Management->Manage Web Applications, select the web application for the site. Click Authentication
Providers, select default zone, and select Yes for "Enable Client Integration?".
2. click Site Settings-> Site collection features->"Open Documents in Client Applications by Default" click Activate
3. set the default open behavior for a document library by using the document library settings page.
4. Enable the “Adobe Arcobat SharePoint OpenDocuments Component”add-on in the IE11.
5. Add your current site URL to the trusted web sites in IE11.
There is a similar threads for your reference:
