Problem opening files from Sharepoint using Firefox 4

When trying to open a file for editing from sharepoint 2010, I get the following message:
The document could not be opened for editing. A Microsoft SharePoint Foundation compatible application could not be found to edit the document
It works fine with IE8. Any thoughts/suggestions?

Hi,
According to your description, it is a good way to do a test about office 2010 SP2, here is an article about this issue- limitations of using the OneDrive for Business sync app with Office 2010 applications , it may help you.

  • Pulling .xlsx files from Sharepoint Using ssis

    Hi,
             I need to create package to pull the .xlsx files from sharepoint and load into another server and make the package automated everyday. I was not familiar with SSIS stuff. I came to know it can be done by using file task
    and FTP, but not able to figure it out the configuration setting that should be used in the tasks.
                            Can anybody suggest the procress for this task?
    Thanks,
    Sri Harsha.

    Hi Sri,
    These sites are right.
    SharePoint exposes file retrieval via the HTTPWebResponse interface only. So the FTP Task cannot help you in this case.
    I know it may be not easy coding in C# without programming skills but one day you need to start as SSIS without C# or VB is not fully usable anyways.
    Luckily there is this community wiling to help you for free and a ton of examples already on the web.
    If you could try to modify the code from http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sowmyancs/archive/2007/09/15/how-to-download-files-from-a-sharepoint-document-library-remotely-via-lists-asmx-webservice-sps-2003-moss-2007.aspx so it makes sense in application to what you
    need to achieve that would be great.
    If you get issues, do not hesitate to post on our forum.

  • Word, PowerPoint and Excel Crash when opening Files from Sharepoint Site.

    Hello,
    I am in the process of rolling out office 2013 company wide. I have started with a batch of test users and a few including myself are reporting various office apps crashing with opening files from our SharePoint site. Although at times it will crash outside
    of the site. 
    I have tired running each app in various modes (Safe-mode, Compatibility mode ect) but the same results keep happening. Although it does not happen all the time on other users machines its more frequent. If i download the file and open it locally this does
    not appear to happen. 
    We are all running Office 2013 SP1 32bit on Windows 7 Machines. 
    One Common issue they everybody seems to have always points to "Faulting module path: C:\Windows\system32\VBScript.dll". I have done some digging but have not encountered any solution that points to this file. We constantly stay current on the
    latest updates from MS.
    Any suggestions would be very helpful.

  • Problem opening documents from SharePoint (2013) libraries with Office 2010 and 2013 components installed

    Hi
    I've been encountering the problem of Office files failing to open from SharePoint 2013 libraries with the prefix of 'ms-excel:ofv|u|' etc. in the url. Following the
    helpful questions and answers in the forum, I've identified the likely cause as the fact that my main Office installation is 2010, but I also have installed OneDrive for Business 2013 (which I need in order to sync document libraries with my local drive).
    The solution I've seen suggested elsewhere of deactivating the SharePoint integration of Office 2013 components fails for two reasons: there is no way (or at least, I can't find one) of deactivating SharePoint integration probably because, deactivating
    SharePoint integration would likely stop the syncing of libraries/folders.
    One thing that I have noticed in my case that I've not seen mentioned elsewhere is that if I right-click a document and select 'open in new tab/window' the required
    document opens directly in the relevant office package. I don't know if this is a useful observation, but it seems to be new information.
    My question is, is there a way I can continue to sync libraries and open Office documents directly in Office 2010? My thoughts are possible changes to registry settings
    (which I can do, but don't know enough to find the correct ones myself) or (re)installation of software in some appropriate order to leave the correct settings.
    I have 'repaired' my Office 2010 installation without any observed affect on behavior.
    Thanks
    Ray
    (I've just seen a suggestion that Office 2010 SP2 may fix this issue. I've requested to test this, but whilst this may fix my problem, rolling it out to
    other users may be more problematic. In the meantime, other suggestions of solutions are welcome)

  • Problems opening PDFs from SharePoint 2007 with Acrobat X Pro

    We are currently migrating to Windows 7 x86, Acrobat X Pro, and Office Pro Plus 2010 SP1. Our old setup is Windows XP, Acrobat 8 Pro, and Office 2007. We are using SharePoint 2007. On our older machines, we are able to open and edit PDFs without any problems. However, on our newer machines with Acrobat X, we get this error whenever we open a PDF for editing:
    The document could not be opened for editing. A Windows SharePoint Services compatible application could not be found to edit the document.
    All of our XP users can open and edit documents without any problems--only our newly migrated Windows 7 users are unable to edit these documents. Is there a setting that I need to adjust in Acrobat X? I don't recall seeing any Acrobat X specific options in SharePoint configuration. Thanks!
    EDIT: I was able to open and edit a PDF document using the following steps:
    1. Click drop-down menu next to document and select "Check Out."
    2. In the check-out dialog box, check "Use my local drafts folder." Click OK.
    3. Back in SharePoint, click on document to open--click OK to message warning about malicious files.
    4. Edit document, then click Save button. Close Acrobat.
    5. Back in SharePoint, click drop-down menu next to document and select "Check In."
    6. Confirm the check-in.
    7. Redirected back to document library and the modified date and by fields are updated.
    This seems like an awful amount of steps. Is there a way to make this function the same when a user edits a Word or Excel document?
    Message was edited by: jprateragg
    Added info under EDIT.

    In Acrobat X, SharePoint Integration has been added which allows users to check-out/check-in the document from within Acrobat. Clicking the file from document library in Internet Explorer opens the file in Acrobat. The configuration that needs to be done on the SharePoint server is explained in the following KB article in section 11.1.

  • How can I change the default "file type" in the open file dialog when using Firefox on certain web pages?

    I work for a bankruptcy attorney. We use the Court's file upload to file our documents. When I am on the Court's site and I have to pick a file to upload, the "open file" dialog box pops up. In Firefox, the default "file type" is always "image" files. I need it to be "all files". How can I change this setting?

    Two observations.
    First — "Tools-> ...." is specific to Acrobat X and XI. It did not exist prior to Acrobat X.
    Second — Acrobat 9 Pro / Standard (nor earlier release) does not support viewing a PDF page containing a scanned image and performing a right-click  ... Save Image As. 
    The context menu provided by Acrobat 9 Pro with a right-click on a scanned image is:
    The context menu,from a right-click with the TouchUp Object tool selected, for Acrobat 9 Pro is:
    So, to paraphrase what Paul Harvey used to say ... What's the rest of the story?

  • Opening files from flash using navigateToURL

    I am opening a series of slides from my swf using:
    var fileUrl:String = "http://place" + locationstring + filename;
    var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest (fileUrl);
    navigateToURL (request);
    This opens up my file fine but it gives the user the option to save or open the file.
    Due to the nature of the files - often being replaced and updated, I wish to take away this option so that the document just opens.
    Is this the right way to do this, and if so how is it done?
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for reply.
    Ah ok thats a shame...Is there another way to open files?
    In the most part I will be opening a .ppsx (power point show)
                                                    an .exe
                                                    and maybe the odd excel and word docs.

  • Problems opening files from Photoshop CS4 extended

    Hello, I originally installed the software on my second drive which is intalled in my computer casing. This is due to limited space I have on my "C" drive, this is where the file "MyPictures" are also found.
    Through Bridge, I can go through the "mypictures" file without a problem, however, if I am in photoshop the minute I go through the "open" fil commande the window opens I see the files but the computer freezes and I have to shut down the program.
    I have received many suggestions to which none have resolved the problem. I have moved stuff around and I am now able to fit on the "C" drive the program (Photoshop) and "MyPictures" onto it. It did not solve the program either.
    Is there anyone out there who can help me?
    Thank you
    Guy

    Yes, as a matter of fact before reinstalling the program on the "C" drive I did a defrag to make sure the disk was in order before reinstallation.

  • Problems opening PDFs from SharePoint 2010 with Acrobat X Pro

    Is anyone else having problems integrating pdf document support into Sharepoint 2010?
    I now have the icon showing for any pdf documents saved in a Document Lirary, However I don't get the options of Checking out - editing an checking in. There is also no revision control. I think that when I open a pdf document, the servers own copy of Adobe Reader opens, and not my local copy of Reader or Acrobat X pro.
    I've done what it says in the Administrators guide for Sharepoint integration and I'm still unable to get this functionality to work. As we use interactivve pdfs for a lot of our internal documentation the pdf integration features are very important.
    Any help from users who have already been through the pain of sharepoint integration would be really appreciated.
    Regards.

    Hi Bill,
    Looking at your initial problem of not being able to open the SharePoint hosted PDF document from the web browser.
    Could you please verify that as per the "Enterprise Administration Guide", the DocIcon.xml file of your server contains the following line:
    <Mapping Key="pdf" Value="AdobePDF.png" OpenControl="AdobeAcrobat.OpenDocuments"/>
    Please verify that the OpenControl attribute is also mentioned correctly. Without this the Acrobat Active X component would not be invoked.
    thanks,
    Shivani

  • Problems opening files from Windows server

    Since upgrading to Leopard, some files saved on an Windows server no longer open in the correct application. For example, documents created in Quark 6.1 or 6.5 show up as Unix Executable Files and attempt to open in the terminal. Copying the file to my desktop does not help. The files work correctly for pre-Leopard Macs. New files saved from Quark 6.5 on a machine running Leopard onto the server work fine for other Leopard Macs, but pre-Leopard Macs try to open the files with Script Editor. I can change the "Open With" preferences in a get info window for individual files, but if I select "Change All", i get an error that "not enough information is available".
    Also, Photoshop EPS files created with pre CS 1 versions of Photoshop appear as Illustrator EPS files.

    I'm not sure if anyone is working on it.
    I did copy everything to the Mac running 10.3.9 (above I mistakenly said the computer I was going to copy to was running 10.4).
    I then updated the Mac to 10.5 and all the files continued to open with the proper program even after I put them back on the server.
    I know that it's a hassle, but it worked. I guess if you don't have another Mac still running 10.3, you could put everything on your server, reformat you Mac to OS 10.3.9, then copy the server to your Mac, then upgrade to 10.5. That is, if you have a large enough hard drive. I don't claim to be a Mac expert so I can't guarantee anything in this paragraph. It just seems like that would be the only logical step given what worked for me with upgrading the computer running 10.3.9. Even after doing that, I'd then do a clean install on the computer. My Mac was having problems so that's what I did and plan on doing to the other Mac when I get the chance.
    I guess it all depends how many files you have and how annoyed you are at having to Control click all your files to open them.

  • Cannot open files on SharePoint using OWA - There was no endpoint listening at net.pipe

    Greetings,
    Today we have had people calling in saying that they cannot open their files.  After digging in for a bit, we found that if we set the library to open with the client it worked fine, thus OWA is having the issue.
    The correlation exception is the following :
    There was no endpoint listening at net.pipe://localhost/SecurityTokenServiceApplication/appsts.svc that could accept the message
    One user here (
    https://ericjfehn.wordpress.com/tag/sharepoint-2013-office-web-apps/ ) suggests reprovisioning the service applications, but that sounds very dangerous, wouldn't  that mess up all my services, ie; excel, state service, ssrs, etc.. ?
    any help is appreciated!
    Thank you

    Robert,I would recommend to check the configuration of OWA and restart the token services.please check the below links that explains more details on the issue.

  • Download all excel files from sharepoint location to local folder

    Hi,
    How to I copy all excel files stored at sharepoint location to local folder?
    Regards,
    Nidhi

    Hi NidhiP,
    To download Excel files from a SharePoint library by using SSIS, we need to make use of the Script Task. In the Script Task, we can use the methods provided by
    Lists Web Service to work with SharePoint files, and then use the
    WebClient.DownloadFile Method or
    FileStream Class to transfer the files from SharePoint to local file system.
    For the code examples, please refer to:

  • Safari will no longer open.  I was using firefox until I could find a fix for safari.  I made the mistake of changing my default search to firebox later for convenience and now I can't open my system preference or many safari or apple linked files.

    Safari will no longer open. It just goes back to my desktop.  When I right click on the safari icon in my dashboard it says it is open.  I was using firefox until I could find a fix for safari.  I made the mistake of changing my default search to firebox later for convenience and now I can't open my system preference or many safari or apple linked files. Some of my emails from trusted sites won't open and does the same thing. 
    I upgraded my original system from 10.4.11 to I believe 10.6. something about a year or so ago.  I thought about re installing my safari app but when I go to open anything connected to safari my screen goes back to the desktop.  I cant open any files that I have on my desktop that I set up through safari, like my banking program. Prior to changing system preference to safari default I was able to open those files and now I can't get into change it back.  Can you guide me through this?
    Thanks,
    Betty

    Try running the 10.6.8 combo update.
    10.6.8 Combo Updater
    System Preferences or Safari Preferences?
    Do a backup.
    Quit the application.
    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
    Restart the computer, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
    If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.

  • Download older version of a file from SharePoint Document Library using CSOM and 404 error

    Hi,
    According to your description,
    I know you want to get older version of a file from SharePoint Document Library using Client Object Model.
    The following code snippet for your reference:
    public void GetVersions()
    ClientContext clientContext = new ClientContext(“http://SPSite”);
    Web site = clientContext.Web;
    clientContext.Load(site);
    clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
    File file = site.GetFileByServerRelativeUrl(“/Shared Documents/mydocument.doc”);
    clientContext.Load(file);
    clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
    ListItem currentItem = file.ListItemAllFields;
    clientContext.Load(currentItem);
    clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
    FileVersionCollection versions = file.Versions;
    clientContext.Load(versions);
    clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
    if (versions != null)
    foreach(FileVersion _version in versions)
    Console.WriteLine(“Version : {0}”,_version.VersionLabel);
