People picker works in Central Admin but not other site collections

Hello
I am having a sudden problem with adding users to permissions for document libraries. It appears to only affect the main site collection. The people picker displays some users that are already in site collection when you start typing letters of the name
of the user. However at some point in the typing the message appears "sorry we're having trouble reaching the server." The problem does not occur in Central Admin when adding permissions. Using Fiddler there is an error when I get the message "sorry..."
"500, HTTP, SERVERNAME, /_vti_bin/client.svc/ProcessQuery." Also when I go to the library and select "shared with" I get error "Unexpected response from server. The status code of response is '500'. The status text of response
is 'System.ServiceModel.ServiceActivationException'." I believe they are connected. Any help is appreciated.

Hi Jeffrey,
Please try to verify “HTTP Activation” feature per the article below:
http://blog.karstein-consulting.com/2014/02/18/sharepoint-2013-people-picker-error-sorry-were-having-trouble-reaching-the-server/
Are you using custom FBA provider for web application other than CA site which might be causing misconfiguration in web.config?
Could you please provide more complete related error message from ULS log for troubleshooting?

Hi Niraj,
Thanks for posting your issue, Just wanted to know have you changed server name using below mentioned command?
stsadm -o renameserver -oldservername oldservername -newservername newservername
I hope, you have not changed your SQL Server name/instance. If changed SQL too. Kindly re-run the configuration Wizard of SQL server to set up Alias.

How do I troubleshoot installation/distribution of a LabVIEW .exe which processes data using Matlab when it works on some computers but not others?

I've been given the unenviable task of troubleshooting and installing/distributing software written by a former co-worker. I've modified the LabVIEW code and built an .exe file. I've successfully installed the Labview .exe file on several computers, but it won't work on some others. What's more baffling is that I installed it successfully on one computer, uninstalled it, and tried reinstalling it with no success. In fact, it's a new error (Dr. Watson for Windows NT application error). It doesn't help that I have different versions of LabVIEW and Matlab on the target computers. Some have LabVIEW 5.1, some
have 5.0, and some don't have it at all. Some have Matlab 5.2, some have 5.3 (R11) and some have 6.0 (R12). It's also not clear to me where the Matlab m files should be located. I'm not sure if it's a LabVIEW Runtime Engine problem, or if it's a Matlab problem. I've also wondered how LabVIEW and Matlab talk to each other. When LabVIEW calls Matlab, it seems that Matlab is running in the background. In other words, clicking on the Matlab Command Window and typing "whos" or any other command/variable doesn't work.

Citrix XenApp 7.6 & VDI Plugin works for some users but not others

I have a customer with XenApp 7.6 and Lync 2013 SE. They have two users homed to the same pool, both with the same VDI client policy however on one account the VDI pairing works fine over Citrix XenApp, but the other the pairing fails. On both accounts I
get prompted for the credentials, however the second account will not authenticate. I have tried domain\username, domain.local\username and [email protected] but all fail then I get the red cross through the VDI icon.
This is all from the same Windows 7 machine, all user accounts are within the same AD domain.
If anyone has seen similar before any assistance would be greatly appreciated as I am banging my head against the wall!

I have flashplayer which works in Internet Explorer but not some sites using Firefox. I refreshed but no change and i DID lose all my bookmarks. Help!

Listening to BBC Radio was possible until today but now in Firefox I'm told to install Flashplayer. i have tried that 3 times but with no effect. The same with videos on BBC and some other sites but on others it works. If I use Internet Explorer everything is fine. So there is clearly an interface problem with Firefox which has only just started. I tried refreshing believing that it would retain all my favourites and other information/settings but most were lost. I'm 73 not technical so a simple solution if possible please.

Look on your desktop. Do you see a folder called; '''Old Firefox?'''
'''https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/recovering-important-data-from-an-old-profile'''
'''https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/back-and-restore-information-firefox-profiles'''
These can't get your data back, but will help in the future.
These add-ons can be a great help by backing up and restoring Firefox
'''[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/febe/ FEBE (Firefox Environment Backup Extension)]''' {web link}
FEBE allows you to quickly and easily backup your
Firefox extensions, history, passwords, and more.
In fact, it goes beyond just backing up -- It will actually rebuild
your saved files individually into installable .xpi files.
It will also make backup of files that you choose.

Why does the flash player work on some website but not others??

I have the new flash player, and for the most part the player will work on some web sites. However I like to be on myspace and it says that I have to install the new version of the flash player. However I ALREADY have the new verison. There are other site that I go to as well and it tells me the same thing. what is going on and how can I fix it. I am at my wits ends right now and I dont know what to do. Can any one help me please

I had the same issue when I had created Flash Paper items. I had found the a solution on my opinion.
http://www.eolsoft.com/freeware/flash_movie_player/
you actually need a Flash Movie Player and not Flash Player. they are different. the only issue is that Adobe does not support this anymore.
so what I did is placed the EXE file of Flash Movie Player found on the link above on my server, made a note to my viewers that Flash Movie Player is required to view the documents.
I found this solutlion when my boss asked why he could not view any of the Flash Paper Documents

Granting access to SharePoint Designer on a SubSite but not the Site Collection

Is it safe in SharePoint 2010 to give a user the ability to use SharePoint Designer on a SubSite of a Site Collection and not give them permission, other than Visitor access, to the root Site Collection (Parent Site collection)?
Most importantly, I want to make sure the only damage a user can do is to their own subsite, and not do anything that will impact the Site Collection.
I created a test user and granted it FULL access on a test subsite and only view on the parent site collection and was able to use designer logged in as the test user. I was able to modify the subsite pages and create workflow. I was not expecting
this to work based on the following statement in KB article
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2592376
Overall, an user needs to be a member of one of the following groups at the site collection
level to be able to use SharePoint Designer and modify SharePoint content:
- Site Collection Administrators
- Designers
- Owners
Does anyone have any advice on this?
Thanks!

I think I just found out why in SharePoint 2010 I'm able to give a user "Designer" permissions on a subsite and "Read" only permission on the parent Site Collection root site and they can still use SharePoint Designer with
no permission issues in the subsite.
http://suehernandez.wordpress.com/2013/02/15/sharepoint-designer-2010-you-do-not-have-permission-to-do-this-operation/
From the Article: "Turns out the reason for these varying behaviors is this: In 2007, new sites would automatically inherit their
master pages from their parents. If you made no changes to that, it inherited right up to the top. So it’s looking at the master page from the top, in those circumstances. And as we’ve seen here, if you don’t have Design permissions to it,
it doesn’t work.
In the case of a new 2010 site (just a regular Team Site), the new 2010 behavior is to use the Master Page in the gallery it has in its own site. And since the user is an Administrator (Full Control) of that
site, then no problem getting to the Master Page!"
Does anyone have any experience with this?

Audio working on some video but not others

I'm having audio issues with a set of videos that had previously been working absolutely fine. I imported them into Premiere Pro (CS6) to do some work on them and ever since then the sound hasn't worked at all. The raw footage will play video but there is no sound. I've tried playing it with through VLC, Adobe Media Player, Quicktime, Windows Media Player and still nothing. I can see the sound bars moving but I can't hear anything. I have this footage saved in three different places (2 external drives and disc) and none of the footage works on either of my computers. The other thing is that previously encoded footage is now not working. I don't understand what is happening because all my other footage is working absolutely fine - footage from the same source, in the same format, with the same codec. If anyone can help it would be hugely appreciated. Thanks.

If the files don't have sound even outside of PP, then chances are they really don't have sound. (Especially if other files do have sound, meaning it's not a system wide issue or a bad audio driver.)

Flash works in some places, but not others....

It seems my problem has changed from what I origonally thought it was. I thought my flash player didn't work at all. Mainly because I typically use it for one thing, and that one thing wasn't working (photobucket). After trying to uninstall flash, reinstall it and getting the "getPlus+(R) installation corrupt error", I did some more reading and research.
I followed this link - www.adobe.com/software/flash/about - and it says I have ver. 10,0,32,18 installed. So that is good, it's installed but it still doesn't work everywhere.
I've tried youtube and it works just fine.
The problems I am mainly having is with Photobucket. When I go to my own Photobucket acct. and play a video from my acct. it works but it is painfully slow to load. I might wait up to 2-3 minutes for one of my own videos to load so that I can watch it. This never took more than 10-20 seconds to load before.
Now when I follow a link posted on a forum that is a video link from another persons Photobucket acct. is where the real problem is. It won't play at all. The player loads, but the screen freezes with the first image of the video. The taskbar shows it is still loading, but it never loads. After a few minutes the taskbar shows 'done', but nothing has changed. The video is still frozen at the beginning and it shows me a pause button in the bottom left, like it is playing....but of course it is not.
Also, more often than not, while the video is trying to load the web browser will be "not responding", the computer freezes, and I have to end all tasks and restart the browser. This is really driving me crazy....
I am running Vista Home Premium 64-bit SP1. I used to use IE7. I have now switched to Firefox 3.5, and there is no difference between the two web browsers as far as this problem is concerned.
TIA for any help with this.
Chris

Well, I think there are some big clues here that tell you where you should be pointing.. I haven't read any of your other posts though, so I may be missing something...
" used to use IE7. I have now switched to Firefox 3.5, and there is no difference between the two web browsers as far as this problem is concerned."
"I've tried youtube and it works just fine."
"When I go to my own Photobucket acct. and play a video from my acct. it works but it is painfully slow to load"
Here's what that says to me... you do not have a problem. Flash Player is installed and running. It's Photobucket that has the problem, and that problem lies in their code and/or their network. In this scenario there is virtually nothing we can do for your from the Adobe side of the equation. The fact that both the Flash Player activeX control in IE AND the Flash Player plugin behave the same way indicates to me that this is something Photobucket needs to look into.
So, what can you do?
1. Gather a bit more info. Get a list of similar sites that work fine (Flicker, for example, would be good becuase it's similar)
2. Uninstall Flash Player 10 and get an old Flash Player 9 install from the Archived Players technote:
"Archived Flash Players available for testing purposes" http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html
(This assumes that Photobucket doesn't require Flash Player 10. If they do this step won't work. But if they do not require Flash Player 10, then testing with Flash Player 9 can help tell them if the problem was introduced by changes made to Flash Player 10 that they need to code for specifically)
3. Open a support case with Photobucket
Now, is it entirely impossible that there could be some Flash Player issue here? No, it's not. But it's the kind of issue that Photobucket would have to find, then they work with us directly to address it. Nearly impossible to do from the end user point of view because you have no insight into what their code is doing.

Sound working on some programs but not others (Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC)

The sound is working for some programs (iTunes) on my laptop, but will not work with Chrome, Internet Explorer or BBC iPlayer Downloads.
I'm at a loss to explain why. When I open up the Sound settings on the laptop, I can see that iTunes output plays on the 'Speakers and Dual Headphones' device, which is what I believe all my sound would usually come out from. I can hear it as usual.
However, when I play audio in Chrome, no sound comes out, but it appears the device 'SPDIF (Digital Out via HP Dock)' is now playing the sound instead. The sound bar for this moves up and down while something is playing, but I cannot hear anything at all.
It is as if my internet programs have been configured to have sound output through a device that does not actually exist. I tried fiddling around with Sound settings and 'Disabled' the SPDIF device, but nothing has actually changed. I would like to hook my internet audio back up to the 'Speakers and Dual Headphones' option but cannot work out how to.
Sorry if this is not very well-explained, but I have never dealt with this problem before.
Thank you so much if you're able to help - this is very frustrating!
Edit: I also recently used a new HDMI cable to hook my laptop up to our TV and think this could be something to do with it

Flash working on some computers - but not others

Good afternoon,
We had a third party flash developer build out the flash
navigation and masthead videos for a client's web site and although
it works fine on my computer (and on the developer's computer), it
does not work on any of the client's computers or my partner's
computers.
Here is the web site in question:
www.quigleysimpson.com/index2.html
According to the client and to my partner, the video cuts out
after a second or two, and some of the navigation links are coming
up 'not found' (e.g. the Multi-Cultural link in the top
navigation).
Upgrading to the latest version of Flash Player was the first
thing we did, and the problem still exists. I can't for the life of
me figure out why.
Any help would be most appreciated.
Cheers,
Cynthia

I understand that neither method did the repairs you are seeking. My post was a side-note information update for you and others who read these posts, that we haven't had to boot from the install DVD to do a Permissions Repair since Tiger (I think)or maybe even Panther (doesn't matter when the requirement was dropped anyway), and that you can actually set some permissions wrong by using the boot DVD because of changes in the OS since it was installed.
For your problem I recommend creating a new temporary Admin user account and seeing if the problem continues in the new account. If it does, then the problem is in the OS, which can be re-installed over the top of your existing installation (without affecting your files in your user accounts). If the problem goes away, then it could be incompatible or corrupted preference files or other incompatible programs in the user account causing the problems. Right now you haven't isolated the problem to either possibility.

Flash works on some websites but not others

I have been struggling with some Flash player issues for a
while. Most of these were, I believe, due to a spyware infection
that I have since resolved. I have tried to uninstall and reinstall
the player plugin several times. I have gotten to the point where
the Flash player plugin works for nearly every website I can find,
in Firefox and in IE7. The only thing that does not work is when I
go to ESPN.com while using my university wireless network
connection -- certain Flash-related aspects of this page show error
messages or do not show at all. After having visited this site,
even when I use my laptop computer on a different wireless network
connection, this site is always corrupted in this fashion. When I
uninstall the Flash player plugin and reinstall it, these aspects
of ESPN's website function properly, but only when I am not using
my university connection.
All other websites seem to be fine, but ESPN is a site I
visit a lot and I'm at a loss as to what to do. I have never had a
problem installing the player, and I use WIndows XP Home so I have
not used the SubinACL program to fix my Windows system registry.
I've read and tried most of the other solutions in this forum and
they do not seem to solve my specific problem. Any help anyone
could give would be appreciated.

It seems to be accessible, yes. It's listed as
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash.9\CLSID. I can give
you the data string if you like. I've really never edited my system
registry so I'm not sure what I'm doing.

Airport extreme working on some devices but not others

All of a sudden airport extreme has stopped working on some of our devices. within our family we have an old macbook pro running tiger, a 2nd gen macbook air running snow leopord, a black macbook running lion, a mac mini running lion, two iphone 4s and an iphone 3g. the wireless only works on the two computers running lion. nobody has changed any of the settings on the airport extreme. it is running the latest version and has been working fine up until a couple of days ago. i have reset the modem and router several times each but nothing has helped. when we try to connect the iphones to the wireless they say unable to join network and the computers running snow leopord or older say there was a problem connecting to the network or something similar to that. any help would be appreciated!

I know that you have reset both the modem and AirPort already, but I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
(OPTIONAL, but recommended) While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes.
Power-up the base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes.
Power-up your computer(s).
In this basic configuration, computers connected to the base station, either by wire or wireless (as appropriate for the base station type), should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options.

Sound works on certain videos, but not others.

This is not just a Firefox problem, but I'm having no luck on other forums. When viewing videos on any of my browsers (Firefox, Chrome, and Internet Explorer) for some reason there is no sound for some sites like Youtube or ESPN. But if I go to msn.ca (I only found this out on a fluke) I can watch all of their videos with sound.
Now, please assume I'm not computer illiterate. I've updated my drivers, browsers, flash, uninstalled then reinstalled everything, and done all sorts of other little checks and balances. I've pulled my sound card out, checked to see if it was fried, and put it back in. Properly. I have no freaking clue what is going on, and I'm really close to just wiping my computer.
Please help.

Try some of the steps listed here:
