SP2013: List does not exist / The page you selected contains a list that does not exist. It may have been deleted by another user

There are dozens of entries regarding "
List does not exist / The page you selected
contains a list that does not exist. It may have been deleted by another user" and none of them are really SP 2013 so i thought I would create this entry. 
I am getting the error above after creating a simple list with 4 columns.  the list is created during a new site definition activation but when I click on my list, I get the error above.  the list works if I deactivate the feature and re-activate
it.  but has the error whenever the new site definition is created.  
Has anybody encountered this issue on SP 2013?

  • List does not exist . The page you selected contains a list that does not exists. It may have been deleted by another user

    Hi everybody!
    I have a sharepoint 2013 farm with 5 sever. I upgraded a site from sharepoint 
    2007 to sharepoint 2013. I had some problems to install and configure workflow manager and register it. but by now I found problems and I can create a workflow and run it successfully. My big problem is when I try to get a lookup field in my flow. the
    flow suspended and I got the following error:
    “List does not exist . The page you selected contains a list that does not exists. It may have been deleted by another user.”
    Any solution???
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi,
    Please make sure the source list of the lookup column and the list which consumes the content from the lookup column exists on the site collection.
    In addition, to correct this problem the following steps should be applied:
    Delete the affected Workflow association
    Go to "Central Administration" - "Application Management"
    Select the affected web application and choose "General Settings" - "Resource Throttling"
    Increase the value configured as "List View Lookup Threshold"
    Perform an iisreset to ensure that all in memory instances of the web application settings are gone
    Add the Workflow association back to the list
    More information is here:

  • Item does not exist. It may have been deleted by another user

    Hi,
    I am getting a strange issue with the error "Item does not exist. It may have been deleted by another user " with the below code which was under "RunWithElevatedPrivileges" in a application page.
    public void test(int requestId)
    SPList list= web.Lists["test"];
    SPListItem lstItem = list.GetItemById(Convert.ToInt32(requestId)); //Error
    But when I test the above code in a console application, it is working fine & I am sure the id exist in the list.
    Can any one help me on this issue!
    Thanks In Advance,
    Kumar.

    Ok.
    Go to the sharepoint list and check the item with id is exist or not?
    Retrieve the data using another column instead of id column.
    Just for testing.
    Check the below way also
    SPQuery query = new SPQuery();
    query.Query = "<Where><Eq><FieldRef Name=\"ID\"></FieldRef><Value Type=\"Integer\">" + id.ToString(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture) + "</Value></Eq></Where>";

  • "The file [name of file] may have been changed by another user since you last saved it." Issue affects both network and local files.

    When a certain user saves a file in Excel 2010, she gets a message: "The file <name of file> may have been changed by another user since you last saved it."  She can choose to save as another file or overwrite with her changes. 
    This just started happening a week or so ago.  She was concerned that someone else was accessing her files, but we did several tests that opened, made a change and saved in a matter of seconds, and she still gets the message.  It happens on
    most files, but not all – both network and local.
    We already tried the QFE_Saskatchewan registry fix.  I also checked the file server for Services for Macintosh.

    You may be confused by the error in Excel saying “another user”. Actually Excel cannot tell who (the real human) is editing the file. Based on my research the No.1 possibility of the error is KB2626998.
    2626998  Connection to a network document is lost in the 2007 Office system or in Office 2010 after the computer resumes from standby
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2626998
    For Excel 2010, follow these steps:
    a.  Click Start , click Run , type regedit in the Open box, and then click OK .
    b.  Locate and then select the following registry subkey: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Excel\Options
    c.  On the Edit menu, point to New , and then click Dword Value .
    d.  Type NetworkAvailableTimeInSeconds , and then press Enter.
    e.  Right-click NetworkAvailableTimeInSeconds , and then click Modify .
    f.  In the Value data box, click Decimal , type a number value, and then click OK .
    Note This registry subkey sets the time, in seconds, that Excel waits for the network to resume. For example, if you type 15 for the number value, Excel waits 15 seconds for the network to resume. You might have to do some tests in your own environment to
    determine an appropriate value. You may have to try multiple numbers.
    g.  Locate and then select the following registry subkey.
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\office\14.0\common\Internet
    h.  Repeat step 2C through step 2F again. Reuse the same value that you used previously.
    i.  Exit Registry Editor.
    Feel free to post back. Thanks.

  • I want to add refworks grabit to my tool bar, when I try to install for firefox it won' t let me this is what I get: HTTP Error 404.3 - Not Found The page you a

    this is the complete error I get. I just installed firefox so that I can use this feature and now it is useless.
    Error Summary
    HTTP Error 404.3 - Not Found
    The page you are requesting cannot be served because of the extension configuration. If the page is a script, add a handler. If the file should be downloaded, add a MIME map.
    Detailed Error Information
    Module StaticFileModule
    Notification ExecuteRequestHandler
    Handler StaticFile
    Error Code 0x80070032
    Requested URL http://www.refworks.com:80/refgrabit/install.xpi
    Physical Path E:\RefGrabIt\install.xpi
    Logon Method Anonymous
    Logon User Anonymous
    Failed Request Tracing Log Directory C:\inetpub\logs\FailedReqLogFiles
    Most likely causes:
    It is possible that a handler mapping is missing. By default, the static file handler processes all content.
    The feature you are trying to use may not be installed.
    The appropriate MIME map is not enabled for the Web site or application. (Warning: Do not create a MIME map for content that users should not download, such as .ASPX pages or .config files.)
    If ASP.NET is not installed.
    Things you can try:
    In system.webServer/handlers:
    Ensure that the expected handler for the current page is mapped.
    Pay extra attention to preconditions (for example, runtimeVersion, pipelineMode, bitness) and compare them to the settings for your application pool.
    Pay extra attention to typographical errors in the expected handler line.
    Please verify that the feature you are trying to use is installed.
    Verify that the MIME map is enabled or add the MIME map for the Web site using the command-line tool appcmd.exe.
    To set a MIME type, use the following syntax: %SystemRoot%\windows\system32\inetsrv\appcmd set config /section:staticContent /+[fileExtension='string',mimeType='string']
    The variable fileExtension string is the file name extension and the variable mimeType string is the file type description.
    For example, to add a MIME map for a file which has the extension ".xyz": appcmd set config /section:staticContent /+[fileExtension='.xyz',mimeType='text/plain']
    Warning: Ensure that this MIME mapping is needed for your Web server before adding it to the list. Configuration files such as .CONFIG or dynamic scripting pages such as .ASP or .ASPX, should not be downloaded directly and should always be processed through a handler. Other files such as database files or those used to store configuration, like .XML or .MDF, are sometimes used to store configuration information. Determine if clients can download these file types before enabling them.
    Install ASP.NET.
    Create a tracing rule to track failed requests for this HTTP status code. For more information about creating a tracing rule for failed requests, click here.
    Links and More Information This error occurs when the file extension of the requested URL is for a MIME type that is not configured on the server. You can add a MIME type for the file extension for files that are not dynamic scripting pages, database, or configuration files. Process those file types using a handler. You should not allows direct downloads of dynamic scripting pages, database or configuration files.

    That file might have moved to a different location on the server. I think you'll need to check with RefWorks support or your local IT department on why the install page links do not work.

  • HTTP Error 404.3 - Not Found The page you are requesting cannot be served because of the extension configuration. If the page is a script, add a handler. If the file should be downloaded, add a MIME map.

    Well this morning I woke up to see that my site hosted on Windows Azure was producing 50X errors and in general being incredibly slow (up to 60 seconds response time).
    Now after looking through the DetailedErrors folder I see that the error received is:
    HTTP Error 404.3 - Not Found The page you are requesting cannot be served because of the extension configuration. If the page is a script, add a handler. If the file should be downloaded, add a MIME map.
    I tried creating a new test website and host it and guess what? I receive the exact same error here as well.
    What could be causing this?

    hi,
    Do you use windows azure website in Europe ? According to azure dashboard shown,
    Some customers may experience intermittent time out errors or slow response when accessing their web sites. Please see this image: 
    And now, you could try it again.
    If I misunderstand, please let me know.

  • "one or more of the items in your selection contains Aperture albums that are not supported in iphoto".

    I have some folders in iPhoto called 'Recovered Folder'. When I try to delete them I get this message: "one or more of the items in your selection contains Aperture albums that are not supported in iphoto".
    I don't use Aperture (did install it to try it out), and have deleted Aperture App from my Mac.
    How can I get rid of these fodlers?

    i finally figured this out:
    fyi, iphoto and aperture can now share (i.e., access) the same library. apple details it here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5260?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    i use both iphoto and aperture, and i suspect something went amiss, at some point, while aperture was accessing my iphoto library.
    this is how i fixed the problem:
    i launched aperture, then (per the instructions linked above) switched to (i.e., accessed) my iphoto library. i was then able to delete the "recovered folder" and the album it contained. i then quit aperture and relaunched iphoto.
    NOTE: at that time, although i expected the "recovered folder" to be gone, it was still present. but this time, i was able to delete the folder from within iphoto without the "contains aperture items" error message.
    (Sparky030405, i realize you've since deleted aperture. while i can't say my method is the *only* way to solve this problem, it's the way i was able to solve it. so, you might consider reinstalling aperture in order to delete the folder, then uninstalling aperture, once again.)

  • No item exists at ... It may have been deleted or renamed by another user for new items, but older items work?

    I created a webpart page and added an SPD listformwebpart in display mode for a particular list.
    All day yerterday I called the page and passed it the ?ID= query string and it worked great. It still works great for the items I had created.
    This morning I added a workflow where I email the URL to the page with the ID dynamically on it. Any items I added today give me the error:
    No item exists at ... It may have been deleted or renamed by another user
    All items from yesterday work fine on that page with the exact url... ????
    I was demoing the solution and was completely at a loss to explain this.
    I checked and there is no Item security. I can pull up the suspect items using the native list Display page. I show up as the creator and last modifier My workflow is NOT making any changes to the list .. only sending a url to my page.
    Same URL with only the ID different..Some items work.. some don't.. Any explanation for this?
    UPDATE: I CREATED A BRAND NEW PAGE WITH NO CODE. JUST THE LISTFORMWEBPART AND THE PROBLEM PERSIST.

    Not sure if you've seen it already, but here's a step by step guide from Microsoft's help site on creating a custom form.
    http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint-designer-help/create-a-custom-list-form-HA010119111.aspx
    The location of the custom form is really irrelevant. As I said, you don't apply security to the forms. They're applied to the list/library level or at the individual items.
    Also, SharePoint 2007 doesn't have column/field level security. Even if you customize your form or use javascript to make certain fields not-editable, it doesn't necessarily mean that's secured. Someone experienced with SharePoint can easily get around it.
    Depending on your user base or sensitivity of your data, making individual fields not-editable may not be a big deal.
    Anyways, take a look at the following article from Laura Rogers. This is one way you can make the form so that only certain fileds are editable.

  • I have recently updated my macs software then been onto Photo Booth and realised that all of my pictures/videos have been deleted and are not in iPhoto? Im not sure where they have all gone?

    PLEASE HELP
    I have recently updated my macs software then been onto Photo Booth and realised that all of my pictures/videos have been deleted and are not in iPhoto? Im not sure where they have all gone?

    Photobooth and iPhoto are two quite different apps with no connection between them. I'd try the Using Mac OS X forum for whatever version of the OS you have.

  • Why I cant view my picture on my iphoto and if I try to copy to any folder it Shows "The item on the clipboard cant be pasted to this location. (One or more of the item may have been deleted or are no longer available) "

    Why I cant view my picture on my iphoto and if I try to copy to any folder it Shows "The item on the clipboard cant be pasted to this location. (One or more of the item may have been deleted or are no longer available) "

    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. Describe the problem as fully as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

    There could be a number of reasons why the PositionEmpHierarchy table has not been created. My advice is to run an extract and then run each line of your join statements in your DB. This will highlight where the problem lies.

  • Why does Firefox not scroll the page when selecting & the cursor reaches the bottom of the screen

    When selecting text on a screen page, when the cursor reached the bottom edge of the screen Firefox (9.0.1) does not scroll. Other programs (including IE) do so, so it does not appear to be a local computer problem.
    I cannot see a setting on the options page that enables/disables this so what is the solution?

    Enable the Add-ons bar (Firefox > Options or View > Toolbars; Ctrl+/) or the Find bar (Ctrl+F) to make Firefox scroll the page while selecting text.

  • Safari opens but will not load the page after I erased my hard drive and reinstalled yosemite. Anyone have a solution? I have to restart for safari to open and load.

    Hi everyone.
    I recently erased and reinstalled Yosemite on my iMac 27 (model late 2013). After I reinstalled everything i've noticed that when it goes to sleep/nap and when I come back to it and open the browser (safari) it will not load. I have to restart the whole iMac for it to work. I've erased and reinstalled again and I still have the same issues. Can anybody help?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • TS3899 "cannot get mail" in iphone5 suddenly. been using iphone to check 2 email accounts for months now, one is gmail and not troubled. the other is thunderbird and i get this error message now. no settings have been changed or anything! ideas?

    hey all, I have been getting the "cannot get mail" error message on my iphone5 suddenly.
    ive been using iphone to check two email accounts for months now, one is gmail and not troubled. the other is mail from thunderbird and i get this error message now saying it is not responding. no settings have been changed or anything, it just suddenly stopped receiving mail on my device as of Tuesday afternoon.
    Does anyone have iny ideas about why? i have yet to update to the new OS7 yet, could that be it?

    'The installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\Web kit.resources\inspector\Images\Spinner Inactive Selected.gif.'
    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?
