Surface Pro 2 tries to use word in browser instead of client in SharePoint 2010 library

Hi -
A user came to me with a new surface pro 2 with IE 11 and Office 2013 and sadly found that document libraries would try to default open in the browser. I do not have the word app completely configured so it is unavailable. I have a Windows 8 laptop
with IE 11 working just fine, so I am having trouble pinpointing the issue on his device.
I have checked the settings at the library level, the site collection level, as well as the farm level to assure that all areas are configured to open in client app by default.
Has anyone ran into this?
Thanks,
Jesse

As I mentioned. You add the second account by adding SharePoint Online as a Connected Service on the File menu in Word. You also need to make sure that they have updated the copy of Office on the Surface from the Home and Student version.

I am trying to use Words with friends on my iphone 5. How do I get rid of "Connect to itunes to Use Push Notifications

Reading some older threads from 2012 and 2011 it appears the problem was present even then. Part of the problem was due to people using multiple or different account id's on the various devices. In my case, I only have one ID and it is the same on all devices yet the iPhone and iPad are still throwing the same error when I try turning on iTunes Match. This is very frustrating . . . any help out there? Thanks.

This is quiet urgent issue . Any help would be really helpful.. Thanks..

Hi Marlene,
Thank you very much for your suggestions.
But I am not creating a custom workflow in designer as Laura has mentioned. I am instead trying to create a new Out of the box Approval Workflow and I get the error mentioned above.
As it works in other environment, I tried figuring out the possible differences which can lead to this error.
Today I found one difference which is there are no form Templates within Infopath Configurations in Central Admin. Now I am trying to figure out what makes this form templates to be added to the template gallery.

Macbook pro. app tries to use flash player and get " Blocked plugin" how to uninstall and reinstall flash player. update does nothing ?

Wife has an older MacBook Pro. when an app uses flash player "Blocked plugin" comes up. I don't know much about mac, tried to update flash player and get newer version already installed, and update and still get same message. How do I uninstall flash player and reinstall?

Sounds like it is blocked for the website you are at. Check with this:
You can quickly test whether a recently added plug-in is causing problems by blocking it.
Choose Safari > Preferences, click Security, then click Website Settings next to Allow Plug-ins.
Select the plug-in you want to disable on the far left, then click each pop-up menu on the right and choose Block.For some plug-ins, you see pop-up menus for different websites, and you can choose to block each one individually. Use the “When visiting other websites” pop-up menu to block all other websites that don’t have individual settings.

Using a PDF as a Document Template in SharePoint 2010: "New Document" icon and action

Hi,
I have to create a document template in SharePoint 2010 using a PDF. After much searching I have learned to install Reader on the SharePoint server to bring in AcroPDF.dll
and set the OpenControl for PDFs in DOCICON.xml to be "AdobeAcrobat.OpenDocuments".
After taking these steps I can check PDFs in and out of SharePoint, and edit PDFs as I would edit an MS Office document.
However two problems remain with creating new documents based upon a PDF document template.
1) The PDF icon does not appear in the New Document dropdown. This makes sense since I never referenced a 32x32 icon in the SharePoint config files. Where would I place the icon image file and which configuration file would I edit to use that image file, and how?
The last three document templates are PDFs.
The second problem I face is that when I click one of the document templates above that is a PDF, nothing happens. I have tried this with Acrobat installed on both the client and the server. It would be preferable to insert a copy of the PDF document used as a template without having to use Acrobat at all.
Is there any resolution to either of these problems?

According to what i found the image needs to be 16x16.
See if this works.
Edit the DOCICON.XML file to include the PDF icon
In Windows Explorer, navigate to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\TEMPLATE\XML
Edit the DOCICON.XML file (I open it in NotePad, you can also use the built-in XML Editor)
Ignore the section <ByProgID> and scroll down to the <ByExtension> section of the file
Within the <ByExtension> section, insert a <Mapping Key=”pdf” Value=”pdficon_small.gif” /> attribute. The easiest way is to copy an existing one – I usually just copy the line that starts <Mapping Key=”png”… and replace the parameters for Key and Value (see image below for example).
Note: Do not take shortcuts and copy/paste from here. 99% of problems with PDF icons not being displayed are due to errors made in the DOCICON.XML file
Save and close the file

How do I set up my new MacBook Pro so I can use It to sync instead of my broken IMac that I have used for years?

I am trying to sync my new MacBook Pro with Ipad's and IPod's but I have been using IMac and it has a bad harddrive and won't boot therefore the new
MacBook Pro won't sync without erasing all IPads etc. Can you help?

Oh, wait, I've found it. Silly me!

I am trying to use the Home Sharing feature but none of my current library is showing up under my Share Library ?

I recently purchased a new lap top and thought the easiest way to move my library before wiping my old lap top would be the Home Sharing feature. I have gotten everthing set up for Home Sharing but the library on my current laptop isn't showing under the shared library? I am using the same account log in that I have always used and the Home Shared library isn't even seeing purchases under my account? How do I get the Home Shared library to see all my music?

What operating systems are you running?

In Windows 8 on a Microsoft Surface Pro scrolling on the touch screen highlights text instead of scrolling - how doI fix that?

This happens about 90% of the time. Going to the same websites in IE or Chrome that problem doesn't occur. What's wrong with my Firefox settings? And how do I fix this.

I'm afraid I'm not sure whether they will work. They will at least need to have been updated by the add-on developer to work with v26.
There may be other limitations. I know that in early builds only add-ons which use the Addons SDK would work. This is still a development pre-alpha build so you should expect some issues / limitations until it reaches full release. I believe that is expected in December this year.
If you are willing to give it a go I recommend installing it and testing out what is possible. Installing Nightly will not affect your current stable channel install so if you don't like Nightly you can just uninstall it and go back to using Firefox 23.
I hope that helps.

Trying to use USB web cam instead of iSight but iMovie won't switch

Hi, everyone. I need to record voice and video from people sitting at right angles to the computer, so I can't use the built in iSight in my monitor. I bought a Mac compatible Logitech QuickCam VisionPro with USB cable, but I can't get iMovie to use it instead of the iSight. The System Profiler shows the Logitech camera listed under USB devices, but when I try to Import video in iMovie, I only have the Built-in iSight to choose from for cameras. Is there anyway to do this? Or do I need a different camera? Or can I use another program to record the video/audio, and then import that into iMovie? I don't need to do any editing, just burn DVDs with iDVD. Thanks in advance...

I had the same problem, cos sometimes imovie won't let you add more titles when you try to take them straight from the title menu. I happened to me mostly when the clip itself is quite short. While imovie won't let you overlay several titles, you surely can have several titles, one after the other, in your project. To do this, I used a little trick: Add some small clip to the end of your project. Doesn't matter what, you're gonna delete it again anyway. You can then add another title to this additional clip. Then you just drag this title from there to your actual clip and place it where you want it. And then you do the next one(s) the same way until you have all your titles where you want them. At the end you just delete the "helping" clip again. It might be a bit complicated way of doing things, but it worked for me.

Using an embedded driver instead of client, and refreshing JList

I am finishing up a simple database interface program that I need to do in order to graduate. There are a couple issues I need to address.
1. This program is meant to be on one computer with one connection to a database. Currently, when I build the program and run the .jar file, it will not work unless I have manually started the server in Netbeans. Once the server is on, it works like a champ. But since I have to send this to my professor it must work without him doing any additional setup. For this I figured I could use the embeddedDriver, but unfortantely I cant get that to work.
In netbeans I can right click on the main database icon and select "New Connection" and i have the option of choosing the embedded driver yet when i put the database name in and the user and password it gives me the
error: "Unable to add connection. Cannot establish a connection to jdbc:derby:MaxxTrax using org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver (Database 'MaxxTrax' not found).
Why is it that I can use the client driver without a problem yet not the embedded one? And if I cant use the embedded one, how can I set up the client driver so it will automatically start the server (does the end user need to have the server installed or will the clean and build do that)?
2. Using the netbeans gui builder, i created a jList that I bound to my database's name query. I then have multiple textFields that i bound to whatever jList selection there is and tell it to update with the specified data. My problem is, that I cannot get the jList to "refresh". Right now when I add somebody to the database it visually writes over another persons record, but doesn't actually delete record. So if i could just figure out how to make it look at the database again I could do it automatically after entering in a new record. I've tried nameList.validate(), updateUI() and even tried to copy the ide generated code that actually binds the data but no go.
Once I get these two little things taken care of I am done!! Please help, its greatly appreciated.

I'm not getting much help out there.....anyone??
I need to make the database seem invisible to the end user application.
When I try to use an embedded driver I keep getting errors. In netbeans, I can see the "Java DB(Embedded)" link under drivers, and when I hit connect using.. I input all the correct data and it gives me the following error:
Error: Unable to add connection. Cannot establish a connection to jdbc:derby:MaxxTrax using org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver (Database 'MaxxTrax' not found).
Under the Database setting the pointer for the java db installation and database location are correct. Why can't I connect using the embedded driver, cause using that would make my life so much easier for a single application.

Could use some help for creating KPI for Created SharePoint 2010 List Items

Hello All,
I am using PPS and connecting to an SP 2010 List as a Datasource. I'd like to create KPI's against the List showing how many items each individual has created (using the Created column) and set a goal with Indicators showing visual performance (Red,
Yellow, Green).
Any guidance is much appreciated!

I concur with Scott. Check your Recycle Bin and then also check the Site Collection Recycle Bin. Once deleted from there, it should free up space.
As far as the database side of things go, the database would have grown to accommodate the larger list. If you're trying to recover space on that side of the equation, you'll need to conduct a shrink operation against the database in question.
I trust that answers your question...
Thanks

Using REST API to promote Document Properties into SharePoint document library

Hi,
Is it possible to extract Document properties of a file and update library column using REST API?
Thanks,

Hi,
We can use the following REST endpoint to get document property:
