Outlook 2013 Mail Option buttons not working

Microsoft Office Outlook 2013 issue where in Outlook File>Options>Mail the "Spelling and Autocorrect", "Signatures", and "Stationary and Fonts" buttons will not respond. I have searched and searched but I cannot make these
buttons work.
Solutions I have tried with no results:
Running Outlook in Safe Mode
Disabling all Com-Addins
Reinstalled Outlook
Ran Office Repair
Re-created Mail Profiles
Disabled HIPS protection
Changed Registry values in:
    HKCU>Software>Policies>Microsoft>Office>15.0>Common>MailSettings
    HKCU>Software>Microsoft>Office>15.0>Common>MailSettings
    HKLM>Software>Classes>Wow6432Node>CLSID>{0006F03A-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}\LocalServer32
        (Default) Key and LocalServer32 Key
Tried to get to signature through MS Word
I am unable to navigate to the location of the signature block and I am able to place signatures there through adding .rtf, .htm, and .txt file. I am able to add them into the email, but when I choose "signatures" no window opens to add/edit current
signatures.
Please Help! I cannot think of anything else to try!

Hi Chris,
Are these three buttons grayed out?
What version of Windows and Outlook 2013 are you using? The registry value we need to modify is different according to the version of Windows and Outlook.
32-bit version of Windows
       HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{0006F03A-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}\LocalServer32
32-bit version of Office on a 64-bit version of Windows
       HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{0006F03A-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}\LocalServer32
64-bit version of Office
       HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{0006F03A-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}\LocalServer32
Please make sure you have modified the correct registry value.
In addition, please also make sure you have entered the correct path to Outlook.exe for the registry value. It's recommended to navigate to the path in Explorer first and then copy and paste the path to the data filed of the registry values.

Gmail Options button not working in standard view for Firefox 4

Since upgrading to Firefox 4 gmail does not work correctly in standard view. I can't select my username or options at the top right or select emails to delete or perform any actions on. I use IE and everything works fine. I tried restarting in safe mode and still same problem. I also cleared all recent history.

A little bit more detail... I am also having this issue, but I think it's more widespread than just google. My desktop is experiencing this issue (Vista x64) but my laptop isn't (Win 7 x64). Both are running Firefox 4.
Anyway: the problem seems to be with dynamic webpage content, javascript, html5, or something like that.
As amc-1 mentioned, the two buttons at the top right of google pages aren't doing anything in firefox 4.
In addition to the settings thing on google pages, in Facebook, if I type in a name into the search bar, suggestions pop up, but if I click on them, nothing happens.
In google maps, I can get it to open the directions section, but when I click "get directions," nothing happens there either.
I've tried starting in safe mode. Not working there either.
'''Edit''': I can confirm that this is fixed by creating a new profile. However, I would like to avoid this if at all possible.

Outlook 2013 OOF "Forward" rules not working against Exchange 2007

We have found that on Outlook 2013 clients (connecting to Exchange 2007) we cannot set forwarding rules in OOF (Out of Office / Facilities) if we select a recipient from the GAL. The error we get when trying to set the rule is:
"Changes to the rule cannot be saved"
However, if we manually type the SMTP address (without resolving it to the GAL) and click OK the rule is accepted.
We have tested the rule using other versions of Outlook and it appears that Outlook 2013 is the only client that has this problem.
Any suggestions would be welcome.
Mark

The issue is know under OffBug 57619. A support case for this had been started in April but no customer pursued a fix yet.
Currently its status is low and no fix is intended. If this is a critical issue for you and to get it reconsidered, you'll need to open a support incident of your own, refer to OffBug 57619 and state your case as "high customer impact" (in case your not
a Premier customer) and request a Hotfix.

Mail flow is not working Exchange 2010 to 2013 in coexistence mode

Hi ,
We are migrating Exchange 2010 sp3 to Exchange 2013.
mail flow is not working from 2010 to 2013, mails are qued up in smtp relay queueu.
already added 2010 ip address to 2013 receive connector and give anonymous permission.
but still mails are smtp relay queue.

Hi Sujith,
As requested by
Nithyanandham please post the error from Queue Viewer.
Few things to check.
Please remove IP address from "Default Receive connector" first.
Ensure both servers can ping by FQDN and it returns correct IP. i.e. ping exch2013.contoso.com
Make sure both exchange server can communicate each other. if possible try to telnet port 25 by FQDN of the Exchange2013 server and try to send an email from exchange2010 using the URL below. if there is any error please post error.
http://exchange.mvps.org/smtp_frames.htm
Make sure "Exchange server Authentication" is ticked in your default receive connector properties. If not ticked tick it and restart Transport service and check mail flow again.
Thanks, MAS

Sharepoint 2013 open in excel button not working

Hi,
We have a problem with buttons which are in top of the PowerPivot Workbook like OPENI N EXCEL, DATA , FIND, neither of
the buttons are not working. This is happening for ie11 browser with windows 8.1.
For Ie10 browser those are working fine. We suspect that if we upgrade that if we update from windows 8.0 to 8.1 those
are working fine for some machines, but most of the cases these options are not working for ie11. Can anyone please help what could be problem for this issue. we
need to find out when there is going to be a fix for this from SharePoint.
Thanks,
Bharath

Hi Bharath,
In IE11 if you choose the Browser mode to IE 10 does it works? Also enable Status bar on the Browser to see if there are any script errors. Check by adding the web site address to Local Intranet/Trusted sites zone to see if that makes any difference.
Does this happen for all users including Administrators with IE11.

After last update the split keyboard option is not working and side switch button option works opposite for mute and rotation lock

After last update the split keyboard option is not working and side switch button option works opposite for mute and rotation lock.

Hi
A long story about your issue... I think the reason of this is why you have deleted some registry keys. If you delete something in the Windows registry you should really know what you do. You can damage the complete Windows system!
So I think this is the reason why the keyboard doesnt anymore.
In the user manual I have founded that the CD-ROM booting option is only available with optional optical disk drive.
So for me it sounds like that your USB CD drive is not compatible to the notebook

Outlook 2013 Free/Busy can not retrieve information

Currently have a problem with Outlook 2013 Free/Busy can not retrieve information.
All windows updates are installed.
Exchange 2007 is being used.
Problem started last week.
Already Tried without any progress:
1) Recreated profile (Fixed the issue for 1 week)
2) Cleanfreebusy ( No longer works for outlook 2013)
3) /Cleanreminders
4) Removed latest updates for outlook 10/02( As requested by Microsoft support, however we found users without this update installed, suffering from the problem)
5) Repaired OST file
6) Repaired Office 2013
Can anyone help it would be much appreciated?

Hi
As per the information and details provided by you, Outlook 2013 free/busy cannot retrieve information, please follow these steps: -
The user has never logged in
Before any free/busy information is available, the user must have at least a calendar. A calendar will not be created until a user logs into their account.
The option to publish at some location has been enabled in Calendar options
In all Outlook versions, the option to publish free/busy information must be unchecked. By default, this option is already unchecked.
This option is located under
Tools > Options > Preferences > Calendar Options > Free/busy Options.
Outlook is using cached browser information
Outlook Free/busy user HTTP, and therefore borrows information cached by Internet Explorer. It is required to clear the offline cache. This is located under
Tools > Internet Options > General. In the “Temporary Internet Files” section, choose the
“ Delete files” button.
Internet Explorer settings is not correct
AN Internet Explorer setting may prevent the .ics file from downloading via HTTPS. In Internet Exporer on the Outlook computer, go to
Tools > Internet Options > Advanced. In the Security section, the checkbox for “Do not save encrypted pages to disk” should be unchecked.
I hope this information will be helpful for you.
Thanks and regards

- Problem: I have 1400 e-mails with attachments that need to be converted into pdf and the attachments cannot be embeded.
System: PC Windows 7 using Acrobat X Prof. - Thank you!

Hi ,
There is an option of embedding index for faster search while converting email to a PDF .
However I am not sure that will serve your purpose or not .
I would recommend you to get in touch with Microsoft support as well .
Meanwhile I'll work on it and get back to you in case I get a desired solution .

Iphone 4 Home button not working after upgrade to OS 4.3.5

Iphone 4 Home button not working after upgrade to OS 4.3.5.Please help!!!!!!!!

It seems that settings of mail accounts have something to do with it. I've delete my gmail account and am now using Microsoft Exchange. It seems better, yet not perfect. The issue is definitely due to OS 4.3.1
Apple answer is - no answer. It is a shame that the quality of their products, in terms of design and concept, is not match by a care for customers. It is not normal that I, as a customer, have to spend hours reading Apple Discussions forum to try to understand what the problem is. A little more respect for a customer that spend big $$$ buying their products wouldn't hurt.

Music buttons not working in lock screen on my iPhone 4 after iOS7 update.

After I updated my iPhone 4 to iOS7, the music buttons like PLAY, REWIND and FORWARD are not working in the locked screen as well as on swipe up menu. Any resolution please?

hi there
i had a problem with my wifes iphone 4s, today morning while travelling to work i changed a setting on repeat option and changed it to repeat artist, it was fine until when i finish my work and on my way back i found songs are not playing anymore, lots of stop signs next to my song list, play/pause button not working, album arkwork keep moving from one to another on its own, so after i reach home i try to do some research on Apple support communities, try to soft reset my phone closing all the apps on background didnt work, also note that control centre music player was not working as well. none of the solutions worked. after trying for two hours i found out that the trouble is in repeat options , so i changed it from repeat artist to repeat off. and the music start playing as usual, but i still have those stop buttons next to the songs i tried to play earlier. At least it fixed temporarily. please also note that in the meantime i tried to sync my phone with the pc and suddenly its start syncing all the songs again assuming there were no songs on my iphone. so guys i think soft reset might not help all the time but try to remember what settings you changed recently and change it back to the original option, not sure ,but it might help.

Notes are blank in Outlook 2013 after updating the note in IOS 8

The setup:
On my computer, Windows 7 and Outlook 2013 (Exchange 2013 on the server side).
I create a new note and close it. I can open it, modify it, and everything works as expected.
On my iPhone 6 with IOS 8.0.2, I go into the same note. Everything looks fine. If I modify it and close it, I can open it and everything looks fine.
Now the issue...When I go back to Outlook on my PC and open the same note (subject/title shows in the list view), the note is completely blank.
So, I go back to my phone and everything still looks ok. If I type in the now blank note on the PC, it overwrites the old note contents.
To make all this even stranger, if I log into OWA, the note is there and works fine through this entire process (well, until I overwrite the contents). But, in OWA, it seems to strip out the subject on certain saves.
I tried all this on another laptop I have lying around and get the same results. I tried a new profile. I tried safe mode. All the same.
This leads me to believe that Outlook 2013 has issues displaying notes. If OWA has the correct info, then the server has the correct info.
Does anyone else have this issue or can try to replicate the issue? Any suggestions on fixing it?

If yes, the fix is with Exchange Server 2013 CU6.
