Sharepoint 2013 Does not open files using UNC path from Server

Hi All,
Just setup our new 2013 sharepoint intranet site , I tried adding a hyperlink to a document stored on our server using a UNC path file://servername/share/filename.doc but when i click on it it takes me to a blank Webpage in a new tab.
I have turned on "open client applications" in the site collection features hoping that would help ....buuuuuut it did not.
Also tried variations in the UNC path eg: \\servername\share\filename.doc etc..
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

Open start run > type > file://servername/share/filename.doc Does this works

Actually the problem I described is an Internet Explorer issue and I will try to get resolution in the appropriate forum. IE exhibits the described behavior whether the link is in a Sharepoint site page, or in a regular non-Sharepoint web page.
Mozilla does not have the issue.

Excel 2013 does not open files

Whenever I click on an Excel spreadsheet, Microsoft Office does not open the file, instead it opens Excel but without any content.
Only thing on the screen is at the bottom left corner and it states "ready"

Hi Christiaan Olivier,

Excel 2013 will not open file using double click

I have a problem with Excel 2013 running on Windows 7 Pro (64). When double clicking an Excel file from Windows Explorer Excel launches but opens a blank worksheet and shows me an error message (german: sinngemäß: "die Weitergabe eines anderen
Programms ist gescheitert"). The only way to view the document is by opening Excel and browsing to the saved file.
I have read similar forum entries which address this problem in older versions of Excel. I have tried every solution but none of them worked.
I already added the registry setting for shell open and set the Ignore Other Applications that use Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) (unchcked).
The problem still persists. When I first installed Office 2013 it all worked fine. I believe the problem occured after installing Project 2013, but I am not quite sure about that. Reinstalling Excel did not help.
I´d appreciate any help,
Regards Stefan Hassel

Hi,
Check the following steps:
1. Make sure that Excel is not running (exit the program).
2. Click the Start button to displays the Start menu.
3. From the Start menu, choose Run. Windows displays the Run dialog box.
4. In the Open box, enter the full path name to your Excel program, followed by the /regserver switch. If the full path name includes spaces, surround the full path name by quote marks. The following is an example of what you can enter in the Open box
(your path may be different):
"c:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\Excel.exe" /regserver
• Click OK.

Adobe Reader XI does not open files with a command line "path" argument. Version X and lower all worked fine. I have deleted and reinstalled the program with no success. Is this a bug?

Hi Daniel,
What is the make of the printer and is it using PCL or PS driver.?
Do you have Acrobat installed on this machine as well?
Please check if 'Print Spooler' service is running on the machine.

Photoshop does not open file sent from LR

Photoshop CS6 Extended does not open files sent from Lightroom. 4.4 on Win 7. What is wrong? PS starts but instead in LR the error "Could not open Photoshop' appears.

BTW, I tried moving the Editor app from the support file into the app folder per fixes on this issue in the past.

Lightroom does not open photoshop using "Edit in adobe photoshop CC-" command.

I updated lightroom and photoshop using the CC desktop. (LR V5.3 x64, PS V14.6.2 x64) This broke the “Edit in adobe photoshop CC…” command.
Based on advice from this forum, I unistalled both programs completely and reinstalled them. The
“Edit in adobe photoshop CC…” command is still broken.
Is there a way to fix this? I use this feature frequently.

In reply to DdeGannes:
What’s broken? -- The “Edit in adobe photoshop CC…” command does not open photoshop and the file as it did before the upgrade.
Is the "edit in function" not available? -- It is visible in the edit it menu.
Was it working before? Yes.
What happens if you click? - Nothing.
Do you get an error message? - No.

Does not open file online

I go to official web sites, as canada CIC.gc.org and when I am trying to see a pdf file that I need, It does not show me the file and asks me to update my adobe reader but I have the very latest version and when I update it again it says me that and still file does not open and again it asks me for update
What can I do with that ? Tried other browsers, but IE does not work on my MAC

So what browser do you use?

Preview does not open files anylonger

Preview on my MB is not longer working!
It is unable to view pdf. files.
Any suggestions?
Bernhard

If another application tries to open when you double click a pdf file. click once on that file to select it, then press command + I.
in the info window that appears expand the section 'open with' then choose from the drop down 'preview' then click the change all button.
If preview opens but does not open the pdf you may have a bad preference file so trash the following file
/Users/yourname/Library/com.apple.Preview.plist
then reopen preview.

Photo does not open in Photoshop as before from Iphoto

I have a large library with approx 9700 pics. In the past, I was able to double click on a photo in Iphoto and it would open Photoshop CS (PS). PS opens but the chosen photo does not open. I have also noticed that all of the albums in Iphoto are not seen in the PS file browser and that the photos are in numbered folders that I did not create.
thanks for any help.
joel wilman

Hi jwilman,
To answer your first question:
You must have done an Archive and Install and the Scripting folder for PS did not get put back where it belonged. You must find that folder and put it back in the root library. or reinstall PS to get the folder.
Try this suggestion I copied and pasted from MacFixIt first
"Photoshop CS: Fix for file opening problem Yesterday we reported that since installing Mac OS X 10.4, Photoshop CS refuses to open any new files or create any new documents, reporting a "program error" when one tries to do so. Our previously reported workaround involved re-installing Photoshop CS, but MacFixIt reader Bryan Schappel now offers a faster solution:
"This happens because the Archive and Install option does not copy over a necessary folder for Photoshop. The critical folder is called 'ScriptingAdditions' and is stored in the main Library folder. This folder contains one file 'Adobe Unit Types' that makes Photoshop open files that have been double-clicked or dragged to the PS icon in the Dock.
"Simply move this folder (and file) from the 'Previous System' backup to the Library folder, relaunch Photoshop and all is well again. No need to completely re-install.""
I copied an pasted instead of putting the link in because it is not on the front page and you would have to search around to find it. Hope it is ok to do that here.
To answer your second question:
iPhoto 5 now stores the Album information in a data xml file. The Albums folder within the iPhoto Library folder is no longer used. At some point, usually after a rebuild, you will no longer have that folder in the Finder.
If you need to access photos from an album it is very difficult for a third party application to navigate the iPhoto Library in order to find the photo you need. You will have to know the date of import in order to find the photo.
There are some third party applications that can read the xml file and can navigate the iPhoto library and show you the Albums. Hopefully more applications will be revised to read this file.
Until then you will have to Share/Export the photos to the desktop. You can then navigate to the desktop to use the photos (example: web uploading from online photo site)
If your application supports drag and drop, you can drag the photo from an open iPhoto Library window into your application.
For email you can also use the email icon within iPhoto to open a message with the highlighted photo attached.
You can also use spotlight to find images in an Album...
This is what I have done using Spotlight to find my images that are in iPhoto albums without opening iPhoto..
In iPhoto, select the album, then select all, go to Photos/batch change.
Change the comments to text. In the text field I put the name of the Album.
Do this for each album.
Close iPhoto.
Open Spotlight and put in the name of the Album ( you have to remember the names of the albums or have then written down)
In the spotlight search results. click on "show all"
Under "Images" click on the "xx more" to show all the images in the album.
Make sure you have it in icon view, the icon view box is the last one on the blue images line.
Now you can control click on the image to "reveal in finder", open in iPhoto or Mail, etc.
I am not sure if this is going to make you happy and it is a little more work, but you can find images in albums and even view them in a slideshow (by clicking the play arrow at the end of the Images highlighted blue line) using Spotlight, all without opening iPhoto.
One important thing to know is you can set up a graphic program to be an external editor (when you double click an image in the library} such as PhotoShop or PS Elements. You set up that within iPhoto Preferences. Just make sure you save the image flattened and with the same name. The edits will then be relected in iPhoto when you hit "save".
Two Apple kbs for you to read
Don't tamper with files in the iPhoto library folder
About the iPhoto Library folder
This is a view of how the iPhoto Library looks in the Finder.
It is organized by Year folders. Inside the Year folders are Month folders. Inside the Month folders are the days of the Month. Inside the day folders are the photos you took on that day. If you imported video clips and RAW files on that day they will be in an Originals folder. If you have edited any photo imported on that day, the original will be in that folder also.

MacBook Pro late 2013 does not show login window after waking from sleep

MacBook Pro late 2013 does not always prompt for login, but opens directly to desktop, even though security settings are setup to prompt for password after 5 minutes. Up to now, this only has happened on battery, machine goes to sleep or lid is closed, 10 minutes pass, lid is opened and desktop is shown instead of lock screen. Console shows, that the machine was actually sleeping (10 min no log entries) and also does not show any error in regards to login window.
This behaviour occurs randomly and I could not track down any root cause/behaviour, yet. Sometimes everything behaves as it should.
Any ideas?
Thanks
marcus

Count me in, I have the same issue, and from what I read here, it looks like a Yosemite/SSD related issue ?
I'm not 100% sure if it started when I put a SSD in my old iMac 2009 (as a fusion drive) or if that's after that when I upgraded to Yosemite...
I did disable auto poweroff like suggested in another thread : Mac freeze during the night sleep.
sudo pmset -a autopoweroff 0
We'll see if it helps.
It happens toughly a couple of times a week.

HT4236 Ever since I got the iTunes upgrade, iPhoto does not open and take the photos from my iPhone. I have the older version of iPhoto, so Photo Stream does not work. Can you please help?

Ever since I got the iTunes upgrade, iPhoto does not open and get pictures from my iPhone. How do I fix this? Thanks.

You can stop new photos being automatically added to Photostream in iPhoto from iPhoto preferences > Photostream.

Outlook 2013 does not open after Windows / updates

Hi,
I had installed Office 2013 on my Windows PC. I got updates for Office 2013 and after that my Outlook stoped working. It did not open except in safe mode. I checked similar problems and tried to remove add ins in safe mode but still does not work. Tried
to create new profile no success. Then I tried to re install it yesterday and it worked fine until I got updates again today and it stops open again.
Is something wrong with Office 2013 updates?
Any suggestion/solutions to fix this problem.
Chagi

Hi,
Since Outlook works fine in safe mode, you can also try to open Outlook with
/safe:1 and /safe:3 commands to narrow down the cause.
/safe:1 Starts Outlook with the Reading Pane off.
/safe:3 Both native and managed Component Object Model (COM) add-ins are turned off.
Please also try to open Outlook with /resetnavpane command to check if this issue is caused by corrupted Navigation Pane settings. To do this, press Windows key + R to open the Run command, type
outlook.exe /resetnavpane and press Enter.
If above not working, please try to use the Inbox Repair Tool to scan and repair your Outlook data file errors to check the result. See:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-in/outlook-help/repair-outlook-data-files-pst-and-ost-HA102749454.aspx?CTT=1
In addition, you can try to uninstall these updates to check if Outlook will work, so that we can determine if this issue is caused by released updates.

Photoshop CS6 does not open files

I am trying to get Photoshop CS6 on my PC running under Windows 8 to open files. The open dialog box comes up, but it is frozen and I end up having to CTRL ALT DEL and end the task to get out of it. This has only happened since the last update. I noticed that people had this problem back in 2013 but there was no answers given. I am unable to open any file and therefore not really able to use Photoshop.

Ok. What I'm about to suggest is Uninstall-Clean-Reinstall
Read this Help Document, follow the instructions and download the Cleaner tool.
Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
Uninstall
Run the CS/CC Cleaner. It will remove anything the uninstall missed. Those could be problem files or registry entries that are fouling things up.
After you clean do a fresh Reinstall.
Hopefully that fixes it.
