Opening documents from server takes forever

If I Lion users creates a document on the server in say something like TextEdit then reopens TextEdit later they are greated to a spinning beach ball while TextEdit tries to resume editing that previous document from the server. I dont want to turn off autoresume since they like being able to log out and return to where they left off when they log back in. But man watching that beach ball spin is painful and takes forever.

Anyone else seeing this. If you have a network user just open a TextEdit document from an AFP share and see if it beachballs TextEdit when the document opens.
Originally I thought it was the auto-resume feature so I turned that off but I am still seeing the beachballing with apps like TextEdit, Quicktime, and Preview. So I am led to believe it has something to do with the new auto-save/versioning feature that is having issues with files stored on network sharepoints.

To save a word/xls document from server machine to client

Hi Folks,
I am facing a problem in storing a document from server to client machine.
I have a document in Oracle database BLOB column and i am able to read and open that document in client browser. But it is stored in the server machine when accessing from the client browser it is opening as a read only copy.
I want to open it as editable copy in client machine and once it is edited i want to save back to the databse. But it can be stored in server or client machine without promting to the user.
Any one can help me?

Hi, I am wondering whether this will take time for a document/image which is about 3, 4 MB??? Cos customer has to scan documents one by one and the saving of the file in the DB and then using that to transfer to MSMQ (which is the requirement) should take less time than scanning 2 documents.

Allow users to Download documents from server

Hello Everybody,
I am working on an Flex application where I have to allow the
users to Open/Save documents such as Word document, Excel sheet,
PDFs, Jpeg, Media files (any digital format document) when a user
clicks on a link present in a Flex application. To do this I am
using the navigateToURL() method and simply passing the URL string
as a URLRequest to the navigateToURL method. This works fine but
whenenver the link is invoked and the user selects to Save the
Excel sheet or any document it displays an unwanted browser window
behind the Open/Save/Cancel dialog box saying action cancelled.
I can not use "_self" as I require the Flex application to
run as is. I tried using the javascript:window.open() but this did
not work.
1) Is there a process to stop the browser window from
opening?
2) How can we invoke a javascript using navigateToURL(), I
tried to invoke javascript.alert('Ok') and also
javascript:window.open() both did not function.
3) Is there any other method or flex classes etc. to invoke
external applications (allow to download documents from server)?
Please help me.
Thanks and Regards,
Paromita

Paromita,
You could use the file download functionality. This is from
the docs:
You can let users download files from a server using the
FileReference.download() method, which takes two parameters:
request and defaultFileName. The first parameter is the URLRequest
object that contains the URL of the file to download. The second
parameter is optional--it lets you specify a default filename that
appears in the download file dialog box. If you omit the second
parameter, defaultFileName, the filename from the specified URL is
used.
The following code downloads a file named index.xml from the
same directory as the SWF document:
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("index.xml");
var fileRef:FileReference = new FileReference();
fileRef.download(request);
To set the default name to currentnews.xml instead of
index.xml, specify the defaultFileName parameter, as the following
snippet shows:
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("index.xml");
var fileToDownload:FileReference = new FileReference();
fileToDownload.download(request, "currentnews.xml");
I think this will accomplish what you are trying to do.

Open documents from within

I was a moderate user of FInal Cut Studio, but I am completely new to anything concerning Final Cut X. My apology in advance if this is obvious.
I am trying to open someone's FCS X project file on their machine, with .fcpproject extension. I double click it, but the dialog box says "The document could not be opened. Open documents from within Final Cut Pro". Now in FCP X, there is no File > Open option under the file menu.
Any ideas for a complete newbie?

There is a tut currently floating around the Web titled something like Learn Final Cut in 30 minutes.
It's quite possible to FUBR projects by trial and error approaches because the app is so database driven.
My 2¢…spend a little time getting some info on organization, terminology, and workflow. Whether it's the tut I mentioned or not, It will not take long and it really will be a worthwhile investment.
Good luck.

Word Viewer will not open documents from Sharepoint 2013 in IE11

I've run into an issue while trying to open documents from SharePoint 2013 after upgrading to IE11. My organization uses Word Viewer with the compatibility pack and all other Word documents (local files, intranet hosted) will open with no problems. When
trying to open a Word document from SharePoint the Word Viewer will open, but the file does not. We have verified that all Windows Updates are installed. We have tried opening SharePoint in Compatibility View and Enterprise Mode. We have re-downloaded the
latest version of Word Viewer and reinstalled it along with the compatibility pack. If we open the SharePoint site in Explorer view and then open a Word document it will open in Word Viewer with no problem. Excel and PowerPoint documents open from SharePoint
with no problem. This is only affecting Word documents with Word Viewer. When using the full version of Word the documents open fine. Within SharePoint we have tried activating the site collection feature "Open Document In Client Applications by Default"
but it made no difference. We're completely at a loss how to make this work as there doesn't seem to be much information specifically pertaining to issues with Word Viewer.

Hi Victoria.
1. The PCs do not have Microsoft Office installed, nor are we using the Office Web Apps. "Word Viewer" means the Microsoft Word Viewer application available here (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=4) that is available
free for read-only viewing of Word documents.
2. There are no errors when I open Word docs in Word Viewer. The Word Viewer application launches after clicking a Word document link in Sharepoint, but there is no file open in it. When that happens the IE11 Sharepoint window on the taskbar is flashing
yellow, but when I click back to it there are no messages or alerts to click on.
3. This issue does occur with all Word documents (.doc, .docx) in SharePoint. However, it does not occur when opening Word documents in the Word Viewer when they are local files or through IE11 from a non-SharePoint website like our local intranet.
Those files will open with no problem in Word Viewer.
4. I will try to get a screenshot, but we are working on creating images for deployment and I don't currently have a machine configured the same way. I'll work on reconfiguring one and post a screenshot.
Thank you for your help!

Pages tells me I need to upgrade to 5.0 to open documents from iCloud. When I go to the mac app store it says pages 5.0 is installed, but Pages says it's running 4.3. I just want to open documents on my mac that were created on my iPad.

Pages tells me I need to upgrade to 5.0 to open documents from iCloud, but the mac app store says its already installed and won't let me upgrade. when I check the version of pages I am running it says 4.3. I just want to be able to open documents on my mac that were created on my iPad. How can i get Pages 5.0?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You already have got Pages 5.0, but you still have got Pages 4.3, so Pages 4.3 is being opened instead of the newest version, being this the reason why you get a message telling you to update Pages to the most recent version.
If you don't need the old version, open a Finder window, choose Applications in the sidebar and delete the old Pages icon or move it to an external drive. I don't recommend you to do this, as users are complaining about the lack of features of the new version.
Instead, what you can do is to put the new Pages icon in the Dock by dragging it from the Finder window to the Dock, so you can open the new Pages version from the Dock and you can open all your documents with it after opening the application

Did you click on the little triangle? Did you select one of the document files before pressing COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window? If the panel is closed it looks like this:
If you then click on that little triangle gadget you get this:
A temporary solution is to CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the document file, navigate to the Open With item, and select from the sub-menu.
The first method makes the association permanent. This method only applies to the currently selected document.

Open documents from LabVIEW

I want to open documents from one aplication made up with LabVIEW. The documents can be Word, Pdf, Excel and so on.
Coes anybody know how do this?
Thanks

Hi Miguel
Perhaps when trying to open a word doc you will get an empty word.
If so, modifie the vi as in attached doc to change /n option for an empty string.
In this way, word will open whit your document on screen.

Can't Open Documents From Finder

Sorry- the topic title is a little deceiving. I wasn't quite sure where this issue would go because really it's an issue I'm having with Word.
Word doesn't seem to want to open ANY documents. Every time I try, it stops responding and I have to Force Quit. I don't think it's a problem with the documents themselves because TextEdit can still open them. Also, I know that Word installed properly because it's been opening documents fine for two years-- this only started a couple of days ago. Ordinarily I'd simply reinstall, but I don't have the disk. Word won't open documents from Finder, or after I launch and select open from the options. It also won't open any downloads.
Any suggestions as to what's going on and how I should fix this would be much appreciated. (Also, if you could tell me where this topic SHOULD be, that would also be appreciated).

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Choose a doc and command-i (Get Info) Be sure "Open With" it says, MS Word. If not then choose it and click on Use this app to open all files like this"
If that doesn't help check in support the forums here...

Yes I tried it at first with Script Item but it did not work. I am not sure how should I change the path because of the portal:
"/sap/bw/Mime/Customer/.../file.htm" - this path is not working anymore
Another option that you mentioned I do not want to use. I have about 20 different html files in MIME repository so I would have to create 20 different web application. I do not like this solution.

Word 2013 slow to open documents from SharePoint 2013

Hi all,
Word 2013 running on a Windows 8.1 client is take 2 or more minutes to open a document from SharePoint 2013. Excel takes less then 10 seconds from the same site in SharePoint.
I have remove all proxy configuration from IE, clear the Auto Detect Settings. Added the URL's to the intranet zone and disabled all IE addons. I have also performed a reset on IE, reinstall of Office and tried a number of workstations. All have the same
issue. The document just take forever to open.
Checking with Fiddler, I can see 3 requests hit the SharePoint server then nothing... after a few minutes the document opens.
Any ideas?
Cheers
Craig

Hi Craig,
For troubleshooting your issue, please take steps as below:
1.Open IE, go to "Tools > Internet Options > Connections > Lan Settings" and uncheck "Auto Detect Proxy".
2.From the File tab in Word application, select Options and then click on Advanced and then in the Display section of the dialog, check the box for
Disable hardware graphics acceleration.
3.Edit the registry at HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Word.Document.12\shell\Open and deleting the ddeexec key.
