The tagging service is unavailable - Managed Metadata Service issues

After SP1 I am unable to use the tagging service in my test farm of SharePoint 2013. Users see the error message popup "The tagging service is unavailable. Please try again later."
I've ensured that the Managed Metadata service is up and running and is the location for keywords. I've tried deleting and re-creating the service to no avail.
Any ideas on what might be happening? The service looks fine, the database looks fine but no tagging....

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you were unable to use the tagging service.
Per my knowleadge, even if the Managed Metadata Service is associated with the web application and term store is accessible from within the site collection, it still needs to be set as the default for the web application.
To set the service as the default you need to click on the proxy service, and then select the top two check boxes.
For more information, please refer to:
The tagging service is currently unavailable
Tagging Service is not available when using hashtags in Microblog entry

Jason - thanks for the input. Unfortunately the service was already set to the default for the web app (both top checkboxes are already checked.) The service looks identical to my Prod and DR farms, but simply doesn't work. I've blown it
away and recreated it without success.

Users with read access to the site unable to view Managed Metadata Navigation

Hi everyone,
I created a Managed Metadata service and created group, term-set and terms
I gave read access to users
I set up navigation to use Managed Navigation
I am logged in as farm admin and able to view the navigation when i browse site. But user are not seeing navigation.
One thing i noticed is when i give users full access or designer access to site they will be able to see the navigation. but i don't want to give users full access or designer access to the site.
How can users with read only access to site can view Managed Metadata Navigation...Please help?

Hi Sunil,
Have you given your users permissions to actually read the MMS data from the service application?
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff625176.aspx covers permissions on the MMS.

What is the easy way to update Managed Metadata field multi select values using client object model C#?

The below mentioned code works sometimes and doesn't most of the time. What is the real best way to update multi select managed metadata fields?
Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.File file = site.GetFileByServerRelativeUrl("/sites/myspsite/Documents/Presentation2.pptx");
clientContext.Load(file);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
ListItem currentItem = file.ListItemAllFields;
clientContext.Load(currentItem);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
currentItem["Country"] = "-1;#India|1d13cfe9-d6f4-4bd3-a6c7-4b46a81f2a96;#-1;#China|9c1dff73-82db-44b1-8d70-f4258dd24e47;#-1;#USA|b9295c0b-67d4-4dc5-99d4-e88af888de48";

HT4623 Do you have any update which resolve the "No Service" issues on the iPhone 4 and 4S?

Hello!
I am from Sweden. Using iOS 6.0.1 on iPhone 4S. I ordered this iPhone hopping that you have resolved this issue " No Service". I had this problem on my iPhone 4 and that is the reason why I ordered this one. The sim card is now totally blocked for the 5th time. Even on iPhone 4S am having the same issue. Do you have any update which resolve this problem? If not what do you want me to do? All our employees are using iPhone and if this issue is not resolved, we are planning to stop all orders from Apple. Please let me know as soon as possible. My E-mail is [email protected] Thanks!
/Elishah

You are not talking to Apple here; we are users like yourself.Apple does not monitor this forum and will not respond as this is a user-to-user forum.
Did you contact your carrier? It sounds as if it is a carrier problem.

I updated to iOS 8.0.2 (the one supposed to fix the cell service issue) and now I have ZERO cell service. Only wifi.

How can I fix this?

I have this same problem. Visited 2 ATT tech supports, Apple Store, Tech support, other Apple tech support persons. Changed SiM card twice. Did multiple resets, full restore, IOS 8.0.2. Wifi works fine. Safari says it can not connect to server (WiFi off). Hotspot continuously trying to connect. Can't get to ATT ADN info. No one has seen this. They believe the phone is damaged but I believe this is a IOS 8.0.2 BUG.
I did 3 hour google search in multiple forums trying to see if someone has seen this.
Various similar scenarios but all were corrected by doing Network Reset. This does not work.
So far have spent 18 hours working this and finally decided to go to Iphone 4 using SIM adapter.
Had to go to Iphone 4 and set it up for now.
Anyone else???

Search results showing ID of Managed metadata field

Our output of the search function in our Sharepoint 2010 intranet shows the id of the managed metadata field (see image).
Every time a managed metadata field is shown in the result, it is followed by it's ID. Does anyone know the solution to this problem? Does this have something to do with the crawl settings of these managed metadata fields? Thx in advance.

Hi,
what needs to be done is to add a new managed property to your search configuration and map it the field in your search result.
You will find a detailed how to on the following page:
http://www.insidesharepoint.net/post/Using-taxonomy-fields-in-SharePoint-2010-Part-III.aspx
Whenever you create a new taxonomy field instead of one field two will be created one contain the TermValue|<GUID of Term> and a another one with
with term value itself.
If you create a field named "color" then you will find the following fields in the crawled property "ows_color" and "ows_taxid_color". The first field "ows_color" is the one you need to use.
If you are more interested in how Taxonomy Fields work you should check out my blog post:

The Managed Metadata Service or Connection is currently not available.

I've been trying to create new Managed Metadata services but get this error when trying to manage them:
The Managed Metadata Service or Connection is currently not available. The Application Pool or Managed Metadata Web Service may not have been started. Please Contact your Administrator.
I've checked that the application pool that the Metadata service uses is running and that the account it's running under is in the farm administrators group. I've checked that the WCF hotfix is applied on the system by re-downloading KB971831 (I have Windows 2K8 SP2) and trying to run it again but it says it doesn't apply to my system (as I had installed it before installing SharePOint)
I'm not sure what else to do - can anyone give any pointers?
Thanks

I've got the default one working again now, the new one "TM Metadata" has been added but shows the same error on the management page.
I have some info from the logs:

UPDATE : I've just gone back to IIS to check the pools and it looks like adding the 2nd metadata store has knocked out the app pool that the SecurityTokenService runs in.

The Managed Metadata Service or Connection is currently not available. The Application Pool or Managed Metadata Web Service may not have been started. Please Contact your Administrator.

Hi,
I'm not able to access the term store. I get an below mentioned error.
"The Managed Metadata Service or Connection is currently not available. The Application Pool or Managed Metadata Web Service may not have been started. Please Contact your Administrator. "
Since this is happening on my local machine (Dev environment). I have full control on the term store and the all the site collections.
Hence, this is not a permission issue.
I have checked, the Metadata service is active on the machine. All the application pools in IIS is running.
After reading one of the recommendation on internet, I created a new Managed Metadata Service.
After which I was able access both (old and new) MMS from Central Admin only (highlight the MMS from manage service applications and click Manage ) and not from the site collection (term store management).
Now again its not working after I did an IISRESET.
The managed metadata service (Managed Metadata Service Connection) is grayed out.
ULS Error says:

Hi Victoria,
Thanks for your reply
I tried making all the changes you had recommended and which are mentioned in the link you have provided.
I tried making all possible combination of changes to the web.config and client.config files but it does not make any difference to the environment.
One thing is that, my error in ULS logs has changed.

SP 2010 in win 8.1 - Managed Metadata service issue

User Profile Application and Managed Metadata services are missing

Running SharePoint 2013 servers on a set of 2012 R2 Servers. One of our farm administrators deleted the Secure Store service account. They recreated the Secure Store account, but after doing so, the Managed Metadata Service and User Profile Service
are now unavailable.
When going to the User Profile Page, there is an error that says "Sorry, something went wrong."
When going to the Metadata page, there is an error that says "The Managed Metadata Service or Connection is currently not available."
There is an additional error that says "The Security Token Service is not available."
How can all three services be brought back online?

That specific event log error is as follows:

Managed Metadata Service and Content Type Hubs - Service Connection necessary?

I created a site collection and activated the content type hub feature at the site collection level. We have an existing managed metadata service but I am unable to edit its settings, so I created a new MMS in a new database, however; there is no "service
connection" row below the MMS row for the new MMS Application, but there is one for the old MMS Application. Will this still work with my content type hub? If not, how can I get the service connection setting/row? I have to do this via PowerShell since
the menus in the ribbon are not usable due to our JavaScript settings...

Are you using Custom claim provider??
If you are then try this:

Is anyone else getting the error "Service Temporarily Unavailable?"

I am trying to manage our schools iTunesU site and have been unable to login since Wednesday, September 4, 2013. Is anyone else running into this with their sitemanager? Our course manager logins work and students can access the content, we just cannot manage the domain.

Hi macschur,
I am experiencing the same issue when trying to login to the iTunes U Site Manager. I get the error message "Service temporarily unavailable." Other administrators are have the same problem trying to access our site form different network locations.
I have reported the issue to iTunes U Support and received a response per e-mail with 12 hours. They provided me with some simple troubleshooting advice like resetting Safari and emptying the caches but that did not resolve the issue. After my second mail to Apple I was tol that the isse had been escalated to a Specialist Team. I am waiting for a response.

When to use Managed Metadata service in Sharepoint 2013 and 2010

Hi Folks,
I have been working on sharepoint from quiet some time now. I have been using managed metadata service also.
What I have not been able to find out so far is when should I be using MMS.
What are the real advantages that I can draw out of it.
I have one application that has Managed Metadata installed and has various terms stores and terms.
The Managed metadata service created is utilized in search,
What I do not know is what is why are we using it at all.
What is benefit of it.
Managed metadata service could also be used in navigation is what i know.
But what confused me is when is the best scenario to use it for navigation.
Why can we not use the navigation provider in the managed metadata service.
There might be other uses also, but that is not clear to me.
Can any one tell me why and in which scenario to really use it.
I know how to configure the mms and how it works though the jargons around the managed metadata.
Regards

Managed Metadata has some specific advantages that make it useful for certain situations.
A managed metadata column has the following advantages over a lookup or choice column:
A managed metadata term set can be shared across the entire SharePoint farm, so you can use it in different site collections.
You can set up "synonyms" so that multiple similar terms resolve to the same underlying piece of information
Terms can be hierarchical (terms can be nested under other terms), and the SharePoint interface allows hierarchical filtering. For example, if I have a term set for Location, and one of my terms is North America, with terms below that for United States,
Mexico, and Canada, I could choose to filter my list to show me all records with any North America location (inclusive of US, Mexico, and Canada), or to filter on a specific term (such as Mexico).
You can allow people to enter new terms, which will then appear in the term set.
You can specify information owners/stakeholders who maintain the term sets without them needing elevated access to sites; normally only site owners can mess with site columns and content types. Managed metadata lets you separate information management
(what terms/synonyms should be used) from site management (granting access, creating groups and lists, etc).
There are some disadvantages too. For example, with a lookup column, the lookup list can store additional columns of information. A managed metadata term set (on the other hand) only really stores terms (and descriptions/synonyms), but not related
info. You might be tempted to do something like create a term set for part numbers, representing every part that your company produces; the term set would handle the part numbers just fine, but wouldn't let you add extra columns of information for
description, weight, price, etc. In such a case, a lookup list is the better option.
Microsoft has some suggested guidelines for when to use managed metadata/term store:
SharePoint 2013:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee519604(v=office.15).aspx
SharePoint 2010:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee519604(v=office.14).aspx
A brief summary...
Managed metadata is a good option when the potential metadata meets the following criteria:
Is something for which a user will select a valid value
Represents information that is likely to be used multiple times
Has valid values that can be organized hierarchically
Includes synonyms or abbreviations that should be aggregated
Can be applied in one language, but might be viewed in other languages
Managed metadata is not a good option if the potential metadata meets any of the following criteria:
Is represented by a built-in column (such as “last modified date”)
Has an infinite number of valid values
Has different valid values in each location that it is used (such as different values for the “version” attribute depending on which product team’s site the item appears in)*
Has only “yes” and “no” as valid values
*This type of metadata could still be captured in site collection-specific term stores
