SharePoint 2013 IE Bug - IE10 Windows 8 - 'Open in Explorer' and disappearing tabs

Hi,
As stated in my title, I'm having an issue with SharePoint with the 'Open in Explorer' tool. In reality, I can't use it because I can't get to the correct tab. When I go to a document library, and then click on the 'library' tab at the top of
the screen in the toolbar ribbon, the entire toolbar ribbon disappears with all the labels! The word 'library' is even gone. Not sure why this is, but it is definitely a huge inconvenience at this point. Any instruction on this would be great!
Thanks,

Have you tried adding the site to Compatibility View?

Hi All,
I have installed SharePoint 2013 prerequisites successfully on windows server 2012. While installing SharePoint 2013, system struck on for several minutes. I have restart my system manually. Later I then installed prerequisites which showed a successful
lessage. But When I try to install SharePoint 2013. I am getting the following error:
trial editions and lincensed editions of SharePoint, Project Server, and Office Web apps products may not be installed on the same server.
I am unable to find solution for this issue. what is the solution for this?
Thanks in Advance..

To be honest, the quickest thing you could do (and what I would do regardless) is re-build the server (re-install Windows).

I click a link but it doesn't open. Instead I get a popup saying "Open the link in a new window," "Open link in a new tab," etc. How can I kill this popup or whatever it is forever?

I click a link but it doesn’t open. Instead I get a popup saying “Open the link in a new window,” “Open link in a new tab,” etc. How can I kill this popup or whatever it is forever?

That happens if the server sends the file as text/plain.
You can see this if you open "Tools > Page Info > General": Content-Type: text/plain
Files send this way will always open in a tab.

Issues with SharePoint 2013 after upgrading from windows 2012 to 2012 r2

We have a Sharepoint with Sp1 environment on windows 2012. Recently we upgraded the windows 2012 to 2012 r2. After the upgrade sharepoint environment is completely unstable.
At first all the sites returned 401 errors. After resolving by resetting the object cache accounts the sites are back.
Then i see that none of the performance point dashboards work. I figured that claims to windows token service is defaulted to local system account. I previously configured with a domain account. I reconfigured to work with domain account.
All the dashboard pages throw error.
Some Error logs:Failed to get document content data. System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception (0x80004005): Cannot complete this function at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSqlClient.GetDocumentContentRow
Application error when access /Dashboards/Performance Dashboard/Main.aspx, Error=The EnableScriptGlobalization property cannot be changed during async postbacks or after the Init event. at System.Web.UI.ScriptManager.set_EnableScriptGlobalization(Boolean
value)
4. I tried to create a new dashboard and this time the performancepoint designer wont launch. After some troubleshooting i see that c2w host file didnot have the caller C:\Program Files\Windows Identity Foundation\v3.5.
I added <add value="WSS_WPG" /> and now it launches
5. Now the Dashboard launches and peruser identity works without having kerberos enabled at IIS. I have all the spn and required delegations setup for this url . But i did not configure at the IIS level
yet.
It looks like lot of things got messed up and reset. Can we upgrade to windows 2012 r2 with a sharepoint application inplace. what is the recommended approach and Whats happening with Performancepoint dashboards. IS there a known issue with sharepoint 2013
sp1.
Raj-Shpt

Thanks for the above article. Few issues are solved . One of the main issue is with Performancepoint Dashboard.
I have all the spn and required delegations setup for this url . But i did not configure at
the IIS level yet. Still per user identity works without having kerberos enabled at IIS.

Sharepoint 2013 - OWA sometimes doesn't open the review frame

Hello,
I have an issue with the feature review file of Office Web Apps, this is an sometimes issue because sometimes it's able to open the review frame to review the PDF file but sometimes it doesn't as below
Could anyone help me on this issue? thank in advance
Regards,
Binh Duong

Hi Binh,
By default PDFs are not previewed in OWA in document libraries, you will need to do some additional configuration. Wictor Wilen has written an excellent blog covering this subject.

How to give link to SharePoint 2013 document library column to open its form?

Hi All,
I have Infopath document library form, now i want to give link to a specific column to its own item. How to achieve this? Thanks in advance!

Hi Sam,
To make the custom field to act as the Name field in the list view, I recommend to use JSLINK to achieve what you want.
Below is the code example for the js file:
(function () {
var overrideCtx = {};
overrideCtx.Templates = {};
overrideCtx.Templates.Fields = {
'Services': { 'View' : CustomLink }
SPClientTemplates.TemplateManager.RegisterTemplateOverrides(overrideCtx);
function CustomLink(ctx){
var link = ctx.CurrentItem["FileLeafRef"];
var value =ctx.CurrentItem["Services"]
var html="";
if(value!="")
{var html= "<a href='"+link+"'>"+value+"</a>";}
return html;
After writing the js file, you need to upload the file to SharePoint and then refer to it in the list view web part.

When I have two browser windows open, the first with multiple tabs the second a window opened from a link (so just one tab), and close the second window, I receive the Quit Firefox prompt, "do you want to save tabs...?"

This was happening with FF 3 before upgrading to 4, and was not happening with FF4.0 until the 4.0.1 update was applied, the first time it ran. Same issue on another computer running FF3, so may be a extension related problem.
If I have three windows open and close the third, I do Not get this. Only when two are opened and one is closed. I could have three, close one, then the second and get the prompt.

Does that 2nd window have a '''Close Window''' hyperlink on that page and you are using the X in the upper right corner of that 2nd window to close it?

Sharepoint 2013 on premises Tags & Notes button in List and Document library is disabled.

Hi,
In My Sharepoint 2013 on premises installation Tags & Notes button in List and Document library ribbon is appearing as greyed out.
I have checked that managed metadata service, User profile services are running. Also have given required permissions to the logged in user.
As I came to know that Tags & Notes feature has been retired in Sharepoint online. Is this happening because of same reason as I have downloaded the Sharepoint 2013 on premises version recently or do I need to change some settings.
Please advice.

Hi Saurav,
pls check below
What version of SharePoint 2010 "SP 2010 Foundation or SP 2010 Server" you need to have SP 2010 server and to have the "User Profile service application".
How do you configure the "User Profile service application" did you add the "Social Tagging Database"
Create, edit, or delete a User Profile service application (SharePoint Server 2010)"
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee721052.aspx
When you access to "Application Management>Manage service applications>User Profile Service Application>Manage User Permissions" validate if the all authenticated users Group have the "use Social Features" checked.
Also validate in Central Administration in Farm Features if you have social tags and notes activated.

Sharepoint 2013 - How to get Geolocation column's latitude and longitude

Hi,
Can anybody help to get the Geolocation column's latitude and longitude values programitically ?
Regards
Durga

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/jj656773%28v=office.15%29.aspx
SharePoint 2013 introduces a new field type named Geolocation that enables you to annotate SharePoint lists with location information. For example, you can now make lists "location-aware" and display latitude and longitude coordinates through
Bing Maps. An entry is typically seen as a pushpin on a map view.

Browser window open on laptop, and movie in fullscreen on external monitor???

I recently got a monitor as a second display for my laptop.
I tried to play a movie in fullscreen mode on the external monitor and
have a browser window open on my laptop screen.
Fullscreen mode puts the movie in its own desktop/space and when switch to it
with a gesture, My laptop screen also switches to a respective/designated (but blank) space.
So I cannot at the moment see both windows on different displays at the same time...
Is there any way to do this ???

When you first hook it up it will probably have the display set in Extended Desktop mode. The Menu Bar and Dock will be on the MacBook display and your background screen on the TV but you can move the cursor onto the TV screen.
You have the display set in Extended Desktop mode with the MacBook as the main screen. The Menu Bar and Dock will be on the MacBook display and your background screen on the TV but you can move the cursor onto the TV screen. In System Preferences>Display on the MacBook screen there should be an Arrangement tab when you have the MacBook hooked up to the TV and both screens working. When you click the Arrangement tab do you see two monitors side by side? One of them will have a Menu Bar at the top. Just click on the Menu Bar and drag it to the second monitor. That will make the second monitor your main screen.
You can now use your MacBook in Clamshell Mode with a wired or Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3131 When you disconnect from the TV your Menu Bar will automatically change back to the MacBook.
Or if you want to use the MacBook’s keyboard and trackpad to work on the MacBook screen while showing it on a TV you can check the Mirror Display box on the lower left hand side of the Arrangement tab under the two monitors box.

QuickTime 7.7.1, Windows Vista, Internet Explorer, and .mpg files

After updating QuickTime to 7.7.1, QuickTime runs whenever I click on a .mpg file in Internet Explorer, under Windows Vista.
The last time this happened I had to go into QuickTime>Edit>Preferences>QuickTime Preferences>Browser>Mime Settings and uncheck the MIME association to .mpg files.
This time with QuickTime 7.7.1, clicking on MIME Settings just opens up Windows Default Programs association window, not the Quicktime MIME associations. .mpg is unchecked, and Windows Media Player is associated with .mpg. All file types that are checked for QuickTime are grayed out, and cannot be unchecked.
Any ideas?

Solution found:
After making sure Windows Media Player is the default player in Windows Default Programs for file types .mp3 and .mpg, open Internet Explorer, click on Tools>Internet Options>Programs>Set Programs>Set program access and computer defaults>Custom>Choose a default media player: Then click on Windows Media Player radio button.
In Customs, you have to either click on the word Customs or click on the down arrows to the far right of Customs to expand the choices, and find "Choose a default media player:"
You will also have to be logged in as Administrator or have the Admin password to reset this choice.

"DTD is prohibited" error when accessing sharepoint 2013/office365 list (but not openly aware of using XML)

I've been getting a list of folders and files from Sharepoint (on Office 365) by using the following C# code...
var folders = ListFolders(libraryName, clientContext, web);
public List<Folder> ListFolders(string libraryName, ClientContext clientContext, Web web)
var list = GetDocumentLibrary(libraryName, clientContext, web);
var folders = list.RootFolder.Folders;
clientContext.Load(folders);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
return folders.ToList();
public List GetDocumentLibrary(string libraryName, ClientContext clientContext, Web web)
var query = clientContext.LoadQuery(web.Lists.Where(p => p.Title == libraryName));
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
return query.FirstOrDefault();
It was working fine until I rebooted my computer (it installed a Windows Update), I strongly suspect, based on some testing I've done, it is caused by http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2964358
When the *clientContext.ExecuteQuery()* statement is reached in *GetDocumentLibrary()*, the
following exception is thrown.
*An unhandled exception of type 'System.Xml.XmlException' occurred in System.Xml.dll
Additional information: For security reasons DTD is prohibited in this XML document. To enable DTD processing set the DtdProcessing property on XmlReaderSettings to Parse and pass the settings into XmlReader.Create method.*
I'm wondering how I can work around this, as I'm not consciously using System.XML, it's a background function or process when the ExecuteQuery runs.
Can I pass some additional XMLReader info to this or clientContext (I'm assuming not), so I'm not sure how to execute this query to prevent the DTD error. I have also tried accessing the list in a different manner, by using this code... (from Microsoft's MSDN
pages)
List list = clientContext.Web.Lists.GetByTitle(libraryName);CamlQuery camlQuery = new CamlQuery(); camlQuery.ViewXml = "<View/>";ListItemCollection listItems = list.GetItems(camlQuery);clientContext.Load(list); clientContext.Load(listItems);clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
This works on a computer without the KB above, however on my PC it doesn't (I get the same exception as my other code) , obviously uninstalling the KB will make things work in the short term, but its no good in the longer term. Any advice on how to avoid
this error would be greatly appreciated. I can only assume there will be a "preferred" way from Microsoft for accessing lists now this KB is implemented, but I'm clueless as to what it is.
Thanks

I've found that the issue is related to certain ISP's providing a "search assistance" page when a request returns an error due to no DNS entry matching that URL. For example, if you use Verizon in the USA, and go to www.somenonexistanturl.com, it will
"helpfully" respond to you with a search results page of possible options to match the URL you requested.
Because this is not the expected XML that the SP Client Context library was looking for (i.e., it does not have the DTD that it validates), the exception is thrown. The offending request that I have seen in my case is to the following URL: http://msoid.[my
office 365 acct name].onmicrosoft.com/FPUrl.xml
A simple resolution is to change your network connection adapter settings to use a DNS server IP other than the one auto-retrieved from your ISP, such as Google's (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4). It's not a long term fix, since you'd breaking the ability to resolve
internal resources from a private or corporate network (unless the private network is also setup with Google's IP for the DNS gateway).
While you may have not changed any of your code, I would bet that you changed how/where you access the internet from when it was working to when it stopped working.
What I am not entirely sure of is why did this start happening all of a sudden - was it a change from MSFT that broke the URL, or did the ISP(s) decide to become extra helpful with bad URLs?

It is necessary for me to have more than one window open in Firefox, and the command (New Window) no longer works. How do I have two different websites open at the same time on separate displays?

I used to be able to open two Firefox windows at a time, with one website on one display and another website on another display. Now when I select New Window, nothing happens.

You can tear off a tab (right-click: Move to New Window) to open it in another window and resize both windows so you see them at the same time.

FF4 wont move a tab to a new window. The new window opens fine but the existing tab stays on the current window. What's wrong?

I just upgraded to firefox 4. I'm using session manager extension.
I have multiple tabs open in my firefox window and I want to move some tabs to a new window. I followed the support guide which tells how to do this, however, when I drag the tab off the current window, the new window gets opened as it should, but the tab I was trying to move stays in the current window and does not get moved to the new one. Any ideas what the problem is?
Thanks
Mick

Quicktime Windows opens too big and off center

So, I found the above-titled question, but it is old and archived and did not appear to have a solution. I have to use Quicktime to view my iPhone movies; otherwise I'd just get rid of it.

What other display settings options are available on your machine (monitor)?
Have you tried settings that have a height larger than 1080?
Some QuickTime files can have a "window position value" stored with the file so they open at a desired location (say the middle of the screen). I doubt this is the case with a 1080 file, however.
