The server was unable to save the form at this time. Please try again

Having created a new custom list (even with only a text field) I am unable add new items to the list - the error message is Unexpected
response from server. The status code of response is '0'. The status text of response is ''. when in 'quick edit'.
If I try to add or modify an item in the list by clicking 'add new item' I get "The
server was unable to save the form at this time. Please try again."
I have restarted the Sharepoint Search Host Controller server but to no avail. I have 24Gb RAM for this server so it's not a
memory issue (8Gb available). I have also tried from various browsers including Chrome and Safari - still the same error message.
This error only occurs on lists. I can edit document properties in a library and have no problems with calendar entries.
There are no entries in the event viewer, so where do I need to begin looking to find out what is (or rather is not) happening?

One thing I noticed in SP 2013 is that if your list has unique permissions and a user/group has permissions only on that list and has limited or no access at the site level, then you run into this error: "The server was unable to save the form at this time.
Please try again."
This can be resolved by either giving that user/group atleast read access at the site level or in my case I had to create a new permission set (since we cant update limited access permission set) which is same as limited access but with the additional permission
of "Use Remote Interfaces  -  Use SOAP, Web DAV, the Client Object Model or SharePoint Designer interfaces to access the Web site."
I am not sure if this is a bug or as per design, but not allowing a user who has needed permissions at the list level but limited access at site level doesnt seem right. Never ran into this issue in prior version of SharePoint. I tested and this additional
permission doesnt seem to violate any security at site level. But implement this at your risk. No guarantees provided and not responsible for any issues with this implementation if any.

  • Error while creating task: The server was unable to save the form at this time. Please try again. (SharePoint 2013)

    I get the following error while saving a task inside task list:
    "The server was unable to save the form at this time. Please try again."
    I tried restarting "search service host controller".
    The server has 8 GB RAM and according to task manager, 6.67 GB is being used.
    I logged into the site with user which is the owner of the site. I tried creating tasks from client as well as the SharePoint server itself. Same error is shown in both the cases.
    How do I find information on the exact problem that is causing the error? What are possible solutions?

    Hi robikshrestha,
    This error message often shows when there is low memory that can be used, the workaround restart the “SharePoint Search Hosting Controller” service is to release some memory, and make it work. Whether restart the service release memory
    in your situation?
    Would you please check whether this issue happens all the time in task list, or happens sometimes when the memory is lower to use. If it doesn’t have a large impact, you can restart the server, check the result. have a look at the event
    log and ULS log, see whether there is related information.
    If it happens all the time, would you please use other browsers, whether the results are same? This may be caused by some add-ons in IE, like Free Download Manager I have seen.
    Thanks,

  • The server was unable to save the form at this time. Please try again - tried the trust standards...

    2013 standard sharepoint server.  Content DBs were on a Trial enterprise server and copied over to standard server. All was good on trial server.
    there are 8 sites on server, 2 of the sites cannot create or edit items, they get "The server was unable to save the form at this time. Please try again"
    googling around i tried everything. restarted search host controller, checked ram usage (8gb free), manage content types, iisresets, edit the web.config file ( add things for ram, search host, etc), no alternate access mappings, .net HTTP activation, rebooted
    server... I'm sure i missed some.
    The server is new install, all but the August HF CUs. Trial server the content DBs came from is at same level.
    It is not a server level issue as the other 6 sites are fine. its something with just 2 sites.
    kinda stuck here...
    Thanks,

    With the USL Logs were hard to track down what was happening, though I think it was too do with /_vti_bin/client.svc/ProcessQuery.
    I did the Enable/Disable Anonymous Access on the Directory with no luck.
    Brought up Fiddler and Saw that I was getting 401 and 500 Errors on
    GET http://team.intranet.eandm.com/it/_vti_bin/client.svc/ProcessQuery HTTP/1.1
    So it had something to do with Permissions. I checked the Authentication and the sites that worked had Forms Auth Enabled, and the ones that didn't, didn't have forms Auth enabled.  Enabling it manually was no go.
    I then went though the web.config on the working and non-working sites and there were some differences.   The Authentication was Forms on the working site, Windows on the nonworking. There was many things not present. httpModules section was missing,
    Many of the Microsoft Identity /Authentication lines etc. 
    So I Basically took the web.config from the working site and copied it to the non-working site preserving the following line from the original web.config:
    <machineKey validationKey="{key}" decryptionKey="{key}" validation="{hash}" />
    After that I had Security Issues, Though I think this was Caused by the July 2014 CU making everything use the Microsoft Identity parts, where as the server I was porting form had the sites created before the July 2014 CU. (though both were at the same level)
    Even though all of the users were present in the site security, I had to Drop and re-add them to every site/and list with special Perms. 
    With the Security Fixed, I no longer received the Error "The server was unable to save the form at this time. Please try again"
    Knock on wood its all functioning fine. 

  • Error:- The server was unable to save the form at this time. Please try again.

    Hi,
    I have SP 2013 intranet sites. 
    I am trying to edit the list item in site and getting the error "The server was unable to save the form at this time. Please try again."
    I read many article on this forum. to chck web.config file, to restart
    “SharePoint Search Hosting Controller” But no help.
    Still i am getting this. what could be the reason now.
    Please provide the resolution. I am trying to resolve this from last two days. 
    Thanks,
    Rakesh

    Normally, there's something wrong with the form responsible for editing list items. Is it customized? If not, you could use the free SharePoint Designer tool to delete the current form, create a new one (wait some time before caching issues are solved)
    and you should be good to go. If it is customized, contact the team responsible for managing it.

    Hi Mohan,
    I didn't use Fiddler before, I just download and use it but how to see the request message from this software?
    I have logged the request to event log before send to web service and copy this request from event log to testing with soapUI, so I don't think have between the actual messages being sent to your client via orchestration and soapui. In the log Response shape
    I see the fault response in event log.
    You can see
    this link to know how to use fiddler. As I suggested above the error you need to check is at the server side who is hosting the service( your party ) because you are getting fault response properly from them. The webservice you are calling seems to look
    like WCF service too. Your life would have been so easier if you could ask them to have firewall open from your dev box to their dev server so that you can use use "Add Service Reference" wizard, that even they have .NET wcf service too. 
    Did you by any chance manage to talk to them what they are getting or if they can increase the exception details in the fault message for you?
    If this answers your question please mark it as Answer and if this post is helpful, please vote as helpful. Thanks !

  • The server was unable to load the SSL provider library needed to log in

    Hello All,
    When I am trying to login to my default SQL 2008R2 SP2 instance in windows 2003 server via ssms, I am getting the below error
    A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the pre-login handshake. (provider: Shared Memory Provider, error: 0 - No process is on the other end of the pipe.) (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)
    When I looked into the error log and i could see lot of these messages.
    The server was unable to load the SSL provider library needed to log in; the connection has been closed. SSL is used to encrypt either the login sequence or all communications, depending on how the administrator has configured the server. See Books
    Online for information on this error message: 14 Not enough storage is available to complete this operation.
    Force protocol encryption is set to off.
    I am not sure what is the underlying problem. server's total RAM is 4 Gb and max_server_memory is set to 2 GB. CPU utilization is very normal at the time of issue.
    I restarted the SQL service and i am able to connect to the instance, but the issue is repeating and i need to find a permanent fix.
    Thanks

    I could also see the below in error log some time before i get the above alert 
    Error: 701, Severity: 17, State: 123.

    Whenever i purchase or download an app on the app store , it always gives me this error message " unable to purchase at this time, please try again later"

    JUst experienced the exact  same problem after changing password.Getting same message. Hope someone has an answer for this.

    Cannot connect to server at this time please try again later. But later never comes.

    I have the same error message. I just installed my new ATV3, all seems to work well but when I try to connect to my PC (menu - Computers - enter apple ID / password), I get the same error message. I updated the software first, so I don't know if it would have worked with the factory settings.
    Frustrating, it seems there are a lot of people with the same problem; I thought Apple would be better than this.
    'Funny' is that I was able to enter my Apple ID information and check my purchased movies and tv shows (it correctly said there were no purchased movies or tv shows). so it accepted my apple ID and password at that time. But when I try to do Computers - enter Apple ID / password, I get the same error message again.
    I am able to see the ATV in my i-tunes (latest version) on my pc.
    I am using a wireless connection.
    I have restarted the ATV several times, to no effect.
    I then restored the ATV, but it automatically starts with an automatic system update . Anyway, same problem.
    Terrible - help!!!

    Welcome to the Apple Community GentKY.
    If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
        1.    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
        2.    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
        3.    Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
        4.    Open iTunes.
        5.    Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
    (You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device)

  • The server was unable to process your log in request. Please check with your server administrator.

    I have this error when trying to log in the web administration.
    I have a problem with my AD, so it is unavailable, i think for this i can´t login.
    Can I log in the administration console by using another password or user not vinculated to the domain?
    Thanks in advance.

    You can login with every local admin account in the admin-group. These admin accounts have to be created before the VMware-Server was installed. If you want to add further admin accounts after the VMserver-inst, you have to manually add them to the __vmware__ group.
