Still!!! server side activities have been updated. restart SPD to use the updated version of activities

server side activities updated... restart SPD to use latest activities"
pretty huh? I have been working with SP13 online and a custom list which I would simply like to add a workflow too,
When creating a workflow I receive this error, I have uninstalled SPD I have cleared/deleted cache files in the following locations:
<user profile>\appdata\roaming\microsoft\SharePoint Designer\ProxyAssemblyCache
< user profile>\appdata\local\microsoft\websitecache\<sitename>
restarted computer
reinstalled SPD
and...same message "server side activities updated... restart SPD to use latest activities"
Same Image as above
Now what else can I do, there aren't any language packages other than the default English, and a lot of people find this issue with no luck as to a resolution, need an answer that will work

In my case the solution to this problem was the following. I discovered that the contents of <user profile>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WebsiteCache\<sitename>\<version> was empty aside from Activity.xml for the website in question. This directory
should actually download the following list of files from the server in order for the workflows to operate in SPD. This is not the case when things go wonky.
Microsoft.ReportingServices.SharePoint.UI.WebParts.Proxy.dll
Microsoft.SharePoint.WorkflowServices.Activities.Proxy.dll
Microsoft.Web.Design.Client.dll
Newtonsoft.Json.dll
ProxyAssembly.xml
System.Net.Http.dll
System.Net.Http.Formatting.dll
System.Net.Http.Formatting.xml
System.Net.Http.xml
System.Web.Entity.Proxy.dll
System.Web.Extensions.Proxy.dll
So I found that if I copied these from another websitecache directory that is working or perhaps copying them from another machine where SPD is working properly that my workflows will start working once again. I haven't checked but I'm certain that you could
hunt down all these dll's manually on the server as well.

  • Server Side activties have been updated. You need to restart SharePoint Designer to use the updated version of activities.

    Hello,
    I have the following scenario for the installation of EPM 2013 environment:
    1 Server running Windows 2008 R2 SQL Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 2
    1 Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard SP1, running Sharepoint 2013 Enterprise (Standard Initially installed and then migrated to the Enterprise in order to install Project Server 2013), Project Server 2013 and Workflow 1.0 (2013).
    After configuring and validating the configuration of Workflow 1.0 by http://server_name.example.com:12291 page and also check the Application Services in Central Administration and receive the Workflow Status = Connected.
    Alright, but when I run the SPD 2013 RTM to test the creation of Sharepoint Workflow 2013, I get the following warning:
    "Server Side activties have been updated. You need to restart SharePoint Designer to use the updated version of activities."
    I've tried:
    a. Restart SPD2013;
    b. Restart Server 2013 and Sharepoint Workflow 1.0;
    c. Reinstall and reconfigure Workflow 1.0
    And the message is always displayed, preventing the use of Workflow Sharepoint 2013.
    Can anyone help me, I'm in the middle of a deployment to a customer.

    How did you uninstalledLanguage Pack from SharePoint 2013 ? when I googled it I found that language pack cannot be uninstall@
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc262108.aspx
    "If you no longer have to support a language for which you have installed a language pack, you can remove the language pack by using the Control Panel. Removing a language pack removes the language-specific site
    templates from the computer. All sites that were created that have those language-specific site templates will no longer work (the URL will produce a HTTP 500 - Internal server error page). Reinstalling the language pack will make the site functional again.
    You cannot remove the language pack for the version of SharePoint 2013 that you have installed on the server. For example, if you are running the Japanese version of SharePoint 2013, you cannot uninstall the Japanese language support for SharePoint 2013."

  • I have been interested in how lightroom uses the catalog so was poking around a backup of the catalog. I found it rather concerning that although the database (catalog) is pretty well designed, there is no referential integrity defined or enforced.

    I have been interested in how lightroom uses the catalog so was poking around a backup of the catalog.  I am a database administrator and I found it rather concerning that although the database (catalog) is pretty well designed, there is no referential integrity defined or enforced. This is non-standard practice and could well be the source of corrupt catalogs I have seen many people complain about. I would strongly recommend the developers modify the catalog and adopt best practices if they want to improve the stability of Lightroom and the catalog.

    I would imagine that data integrity is not enforced for performance reasons. In a closed environment like LR where the application has complete control over the data, enforcing data integrity may not be worth the performance hit. Often what is done in an environment like this is to have data integrity on in test environments which would expose data integrity bugs but where the impact of performance is low. In "production" it is then turned off to get as much performance as possible. I would say there are many more complaints about performance than corrupt catalogs. And corrupt catalogs are more likely due to interruptions in writing to the catalog (like crashes, backups or dropbox activity while LR is running, etc). Data integrity would not help in these cases as they are outside the databases control.

  • Track should have been matched, but it's using my uploaded version instead?

    The album is '**** Freezes Over' by Eagles - the album is available for purchase in the ITMS.
    Unbeknownst to me, my ripped copy of the album has a skipping issue on the last track - it's a song I hate (Desperado) so I usually bail out when that track hits. Today, I happened to listen to it via iTunes Match, and it's pretty unlistenable due to the skipping. I thought 'Aha! Apple has a screwed up track!'
    I went back to the source, and heard the skipping there as well. This begs the question: why am I not being served Apple's version of the track via Match? All my tags are correct - are they relying more on the 'soundprint' of the file to match rathere than the tags? Since my track is a different time than the album track, Match thinks it's a different version of the song for which it has no match, so it uploaded my version?

    This topic has been covered in-depth on this forum.
    Since the iTunes Match process uses the waveform of the tracks to do its matching, because your track has a skip in it the waveform is different enough that it won't match.

  • I have Adobe Acrobat X Standard, I need to be able to save pdfs in Acrobat X.  Is this possible?  I've been able to do this using the trial version of Acrobat XI Pro but the upgrade costs are significant.

    See title.

    If you mean that you want to create PDF files, then yes, your version is capable of doing that.

  • Error while saving a workflow via sharepoint designer: Server-side activities have been updated. You need to restart SharePoint Designer to use the updated version of activities.

    While saving a workflow using SharePoint designer on a SharePoint site, I get the following error: 
    Server-side activities have been updated. You need to restart SharePoint Designer to use the updated version of activities.
    Steps to recreate error:
    Login to the WFE server hosting IIS and workflow manager, open SharePoint Designer 2013 and login to a SharePoint site.
    Access the list using SharePoint Designer 2013, in the workflow section, click new workflow. 
    In the new workflow dialog, enter workflow details, click save (see screenshot below).
    Error message is displayed as below:
    After restarting SharePoint Designer, the saved workflow is not seen in the site/workflows or list/workflow section.
    Workaround
    When the above steps are repeated while accessing the site via SPD from any other box besides the WFE/Workflow manager host server, the error is not encountered and its possible to save/publish workflows.
    Notes
    Workflow Manager 1.0 is installed.
    The site has been registered with Workflow manager using Register-SPWorkflowService
    cmdlet.
    Any clue on why is this happening?

  • SharePoint Designer 2013: Server-side activities have been updated

    When developing custom activities for SharePoint 2013 Workflows, I ran into the problem that SharePoint Designer prompts “Server-side activities have been updated. Please restart SharePoint designer” every time when you try to create a new workflow.

    Hello. Since my last firefox update, I have been unable to type an email - the box within which one would usually type does not appear when I press 'reply' to a received email, or press 'compose'. The email provider is '123-reg.co.uk. I have been using both firefox and the provider ['webfusion Ltd/webmail123] successfully for well over a year. The provider says it is a browser problem. I can still add an attachment to the email header, which successfully can be sent, but the recipient gets my standard email 'signature' with font messages and the attachment. Can anyone help? My email addresses are [email protected] [this is the one with the issue] and [email protected] in English

    My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now.  About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

    I have been updating my PSE since 10. Recently I purchased PSE13 as I didn't see an update for my 12. I was changing to a new laptop as my old laptop had been patched and worked and was showing signs of giving out. It was a Window's 7OS. My new one is a Windows 8 OS so I bought the 13 and downloaded it on the new laptop. Our desktop had died so I downloaded the 13 on the new  desk computer also. Not thinking I downloaded 13 on my old laptop as I hope to get it patched up enough to be a backup for my photography. When I tried to activate it I realized that I had downloaded it too often. I didn't know you could only use it on two computers. Learn something new every day.. Any way I removed it and now my PSE 12 does not seem to be working. Now it could be something that I did or something that is an issue with the laptop. this laptop has all the previous editions on board as I always tried to update, except for the year I got a really good deal on Black Friday. I also notice that the new laptop has a copy of PSE 12 in the program list. To my knowledge I have never deactivated any of my PSE's except the extra 13 downloaded. Bottom line, do I need to go in and deactivate previous PSE versions and removed them from my computer? I could certainly use the space and secondly, can I deactivate the PSE 12 and then go back and reacitivate it and install it again on the old laptop or the desktop, whichever I deside would be the most appropriate place for the newer program. For the PSE 12 since it is an updater for 11, does the 11   still need to be on the laptop? thanks for anyone who can understand what I am trying to say and can advise me as to my next move. Thank you very much.

  • After a recent comcast / xfinity update I have been unable to even connect to the internet using firefox. I can using internet explorer.

    After a recent comcast / xfinity update I have been unable to even connect to the internet using firefox. I can using internet explorer.

    Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried, until the problem is resolved.
    Step 1
    Restart the router. Many problems are solved that way.
    Step 2
    Change the name of the wireless network, if applicable, to eliminate any characters other than letters and digits. You do that on your router via its web page, if it's not an Apple device, or via AirPort Utility, if it is an Apple device.
    Step 3
    Run the Network Diagnostics assistant.
    Step 4
    Back up all data.
    Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
    Enter the name of your wireless network in the search box. You should have one or more "AirPort network password" items with that name. Make a note of the name and password, then delete all the items. Quit Keychain Access. Turn Wi-Fi off and then back on. Reconnect to the network.
    Step 5
    You may need to change other settings on the router. See the guidelines linked below:
    Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    Potential sources of interference
    Step 6
    Make a note of all your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane, then delete the connection from the connection list and recreate it with the same settings. You do this by clicking the plus-sign icon below the connection list, and selecting Wi-Fi as the interface in the sheet that opens. Select Join other network from the Network Name menu, then select your network. Enter the password when prompted and save it in the keychain.
    Step 7
    Reset the System Management Controller (SMC).
