Turn off Office Documents opening in Browser

I've gone into Site Settings/Advanced Settings and set it so that Office documents will open only in the client application and NOT in the Browser, but it still tries to open them in the browser.
What am I missing?

Hi Elmo,
Pls check the below
Navigate to site collection feature and search for "Open Documents
in Client Applications by Default" and activate the feature.
if you want to change only for particular document library then from document library settings ->General settings-> advance settings->under Opening
Documents in the Browser section->Open in
the client application.

Office Document open in browser

Hi, I am trying to open an office document directly in the browser, but IE (V8) always open the modal dialog to open or save. I have tried differents ways and read almost every threads about this topic, some of the solutions that I tried are:
- Modify Header to inline:
response.setContentType ("application/msword" );
response.setHeader ("Content-Transfer-Encoding","7bit");
response.setHeader ("Content-Disposition","inline;filename=" + vo.getFileName());
This solution in many ways.
- Use Iframes:
"a target="myFrame" href="http://www.polityka-spoleczna.lubuskie.pl/pl/content/download/92/350/file/plik%20testowy1.doc">LINK DOC</a>
<iframe name="myFrame" >"
- Use ActiveX
function loadworddoc(){
doc = new ActiveXObject("Word.Application"); // creates the word object
doc.Visible=true; // display Word window
doc.Documents.Open("C:\\temp\\doc1.doc"); // specify path to document
I know that this topic has been treated in other posts but none of these has solved my problem, I dont know if is because de IE Version (8), I will appreciate if someone con help me with this issue.
It doesnt matter if the solution implies activex or some third party API free or commercial.

response.setHeader ("Content-Disposition","inline;filename=" + vo.getFileName()); This is the line that causes it to open in a browser.
The problem here is that you are using a link to a document...or it appears that way. I dont have any experience with a link to a direct document.
What I've always done is in the Java class I read the document into an object, then write that object to the ServletOutputStream.
So something like this:
1) Set Headers
2) Get word document into some sort of Java object
3) Write that object to the ServletOutputStream
My documents are mostly built on the fly, so hence I need an object anyhow. If you store your files in the database, you will need one too.
I personally would attack it the same way if my files were on the OS as I'd never want a direct link to a physical file. Rather I'd want a link to a page which opens a file.

Help turning off feature that opens all pages and numbers docs.

How can I turn off feature that opens all numbers and pages documents each time I open the respective program?

What version of OS X are you using? That information will help in providing a specific solution.
If you close all documents before quitting Numbers or Pages, you won't have them reopening when you launch the app again. You can quickly close all open windows in an application by typing ⌘ ⌥ W (Command + Option + W) or hold down the Option/alt key while clicking the red close button.
Other things you can do to turn off this resume feature:
In Lion, Mountain Lion & Mavericks you can set System Preferences > General to close windows when quitting an application.
Try Mountain Tweaks The option to turn off resume is at the bottom of the left-hand column under Lion. This solution does not work in Mavericks.

Why does my music turn off when I open Safari on my iPhone 5c?

I noticed that my music turns off when I open safari on my iPhone 5c. What's the deal?

I figured out this will happen if any of the pages that are open in safari on your phone are open to a page that contains media. Note this means any page regardless of whether it's the one you are viewing. So if you go to a site that has media, then open a new browser window and go to a page that doesn't have media and then open iTunes and play a song...when you switch back to safari, the music will stop. If you close the first browser window and try it again...the music will continue to play.

Why does mountain lion "bunch up" all my microsoft office documents that I have open when I hit f3? When I had snow leopard for example, if i had 4 or 5 different microsoft office documents open at the same time I could hit f3 and easily pick one of them

Why does mountain lion "bunch up" all my microsoft office documents that I have open when I hit f3? When I had snow leopard for example, if i had 4 or 5 different microsoft office documents open at the same time I could hit f3 and easily pick one of them.
Notice how in the photo, I can't identify which MS office document I would like to switch too. Perhaps since the Dashboard and Desktop windows are at the top of my screen now Apple doesn't let you have all the applications take up the full screen and be sized individually so that you can have a better idea on what to pick.
I like the idea of grouping to an extent... If you have a bunch of random things it was hard for me to decifer between what was safari, chrome, or word. But now that they grouped them like this, if you have multiple pages of one program running, you can't switch between those pages easily like before.

If I wanted to open any of my Applework documents I had to open them one at a time and resave them with pages. This could take weeks.I have 1000s of apple work documents.
You don't have to open and re-save every AppleWorks document you have right now. Just wait till you need one, then do it. The documents aren't going anywhere.
Am I dealing with Microsoft? This was a BIG surprise to me that Apple would release an OS without testing all programs.
Frankly, it is not Apple's responsibility to ensure compatibiltiy with every piece of software available for OS X. That is the responsibility of the software vendor. Lion has been available to developers for several months before it's release, so Microtek had plenty of time to update their software. Yet they did not. How is that Apple's fault? I think Apple was very generous to give you a refund for Lion.
I'm not trying to belittle your frustration but I do think your ire is misplaced.

Drag them to your iTunes library. Download the free iBooks app. Select the PDFs you want too sync in the iTunes books pane. The iBooks app will show your books collection or your PDFs collection as you select.

Documents Open in Browser Issue

Hi All
I have strange issue, word document open in browser as expected. But a read permission user open up the document in browser and able to edit and save it.
Please advice
Thank you
Joe

Hello joe_aro-SP,
looks like your user has more permissions than needed. You could try to remove the user from User Information List (<a href="http:///_layouts/15/people.aspx?MembershipGroupId=0">http://<your_site>/_layouts/15/people.aspx?MembershipGroupId=0)
and grant him/her ONLY read permissions (add it to the SharePoint group with read permissions).
Another options is to create a new permission level (via Central Admin->Manage Web Application, select the web application and choose "Permission Policy"). When creating the permission policy select "View Items" under List permissions.
Create a new SharePoint group and assign the newly created permission policy. Inside the permission policy you could add accounts that could Only view items for the site collection.
Let me know if this one is helpful.
Regards

How to turn off 3G while open 2G for iphone 4s?

How to turn off 3G while open 2G for iphone 4s?

Apple removed the ability to disable 3G on the iPhone 4S. iOS 5.1 beta has added the switch back. Whether we'll see it in the final release is unknown. We'll just have to wait & see.

Alarm clock on iPad turns off when I open cover:

Recently (the last 2 weeks) when I have an alarm on my iPad set to go off in the morning, this is what happens: I hear the alarm going off. I open the cover to hit snooze. In the past, when I opened the cover, I had the option of hitting snooze or ok. (Ok to turn off alarm clock alarm.). The odd thing that's been happening now is, when the alarm goes off, the minute I open the cover, the alarm stops. I can't hit snooze or OK, because opening the cover is triggering the alarm to turn off. I haven't changed any settings. No one else uses my iPad 2. It's not happening every day, just randomly. I have rebooted my iPad, but it still does it. (more often than not!). Thanks

Is turning off iFrames via about:config browser.frames.enabled;false broken in Firefox 23?

I noticed that Firefox with version 23 removed option to turn OFF JavaScriipt from Tools > Options > Content menu
http://www.extremetech.com/computing/163291-firefox-23-finally-kills-the-blink-tag-removes-ability-to-turn-off-javascript-introduces-new-logo
Recent events when allegedly FBI used JavaScript in iframe to exploit bug in Firefox with intentions to uncover identity of users of TOR network encouraged me to play with security settings a bit.
More about how FBI exploited Firefox bug to execute malitious JavaScript on users computers: https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-announce/2013-August/000089.html More biased articles can be found in popular media articles. Just google "TOR exploit FBI"
ISSUE:
Symptoms:
I noticed that turning iFrames OFF in about:config > browser.frames.enabled;false seems to not be working as expected. Iframes are still shown and JavaScript in them is executed. Doesnt work even after resterting Firefox.
Testing:
I used this pages to test iFrames:
•https://sites.google.com/site/annuairevin/test-page
•http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_iframe
•http://www.quirksmode.org/iframetest.html
After I turned browser.frames.enabled OFF and restarted I noticed that iFrames are still shown on all 3 pages and JavaScript in them would be executed.
By blocking IFRAMES with NoScript blocking turned ON (you have to turn forbidding IFRAMES on manually in options http://i.imgur.com/7jctoTW.png) I managed to block IFRAMES on google and w3school pages.
!!!Text in iframe "Test page in iframe" on quirksmode test page was still shown even after I have frames turned OFF in about:config and I block all scripts and frames and iframes with NoScript.
If I open same page (http://www.quirksmode.org/iframetest.html) with Opera with iFrames blocked in Preferences, iFrame is not shown at all, browser doesnt even render empty square; but JavaScript in it is executed, if you dont disable JavaScript in Preferences > Advanced.
I didnt test Chrome at all.
Possible things that can cause bug:
•I am using NoScript 2.6.7, I turned it off and on but it is possible that it is overriding Firefox settings in about:config. when you serach about:config for "frames" there are many settings mentioning frames from NoScript and AdBlockPlus.
•AdBlock Plus 2.3.2? Same reason as NoScript.
•Fot the first time I noticed Shield in the address bar with "Firefox has blocked content that isnt secure" bubble. http://i.imgur.com/K4FL65n.png. I dont know how long this feature is implemented or what exactly it does, here are some details: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-does-content-isnt-secure-affect-my-safety?as=u&utm_source=inproduct
P.S. Just small remark. If that is true: "Finally, Firefox 23 removes the option to disable JavaScript from the Options pane — and if you had JavaScript turned off, it has been turned back on." There should be some warning when Firefox is updated that JS was turned ON. I think that for me FF updated silently without any messages. OR maybe I blatantly closed some windows, i dont remember well.

The documentation I find on browser.frames.enabled is very vague, but I can't see that it does anything currently. Is this a feature you used successfully in an earlier version?
The Mixed [Active] Content Blocker was turned on by default in Firefox 23. That would explain the shield icon. Not sure whether implementing that might have changed how iframes are handled.

SAP Office Document - open in customcontainer

HI,
i try to open to SAP Office Document in "inplace" mode in my own dympro.
Therefore I have an reference of a CL_DOCUMENT_BCS class. There is an interface with a if_document_display_bcs ~ display_outplace method and a if_document_display_bcs ~ display_inplace method. The first one works very well. But the second one does not seem to do that.
I want to view this document in a custom container of my screen l Is this possible?
kind regards
Micha

Turn off iPhoto automatically opening when iPod syncs

When I plug in my iPod Touch, iTunes automatically opens, as does iPhoto if I have saved photos on my iPod. I don't want iPhoto to open up as sometimes I'm in the middle of other work. Is there a way to turn off iPhoto from automatically opening whenever I plug my iPod Touch in to sync?

Turning off display resizes open windows

This happens through power settings, or manually using the monitor power button. Does not happen if restarting with open windows.
Something is also turning off the sceen saver from time to time. Happens with corded or wireless mouse. Using corded USB keyboard.
No problems at all in this area with Vista.
I have tried every setting I can think of; and have'nt yet found any help through web searches.
Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L Mainboard; NVIDIA Geforce 7600GT Video; Envision G218a1 LCD Monitor
Windows 7 (clean install); newest compatible BIOS, chipset, video, and audio drivers.

Here is a solution that created a solution for me, with extra directions at the end since only doing what MichealAtOz states didn't solve the problem for me:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-hardware/windows-7-movesresizes-windows-on-monitor-power/1653aafb-848b-464a-8c69-1a68fbd106aa
"I have found a work-around.
Using Sysinternals ProcessMonitor I found that Windows was accessing the following Registry path;
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\GraphicsDrivers\Configuration
My system had three entries;
DELF003YY7707BR0MUL_30_07D7_6A^9A3774EB79DEE3E3E38496CC7DF4D936
QHD32000001_31_07D6_D5^63E1ABDD175E7871DCAEB710418A0F75
SIMULATED_8086_2A42_00000000_00020000_1010100^CDE365D1B3F0942F0CF38BFB8E127AB4
Under each is a tree called "00" two of the keys are
PrimSurfSize.cx
PrimSurfSize.cy
Under "00" was another branch also called "00" two of the keys are;
ActiveSize.cx
ActiveSize.cy
The first two of the configs (ie DELF00... & QHD3...) the above keys were 1440x900,
so they were not involved.
The third (SIMULATED...) were set to 1024x768.
I changed these to 1600x900 and the problem was solved.
Further I changed resolution (via control panel) to 1920x1080, the moving/resize issue returned,
but the lower right corner was set to 1600x900, ie the SIMULATED... settings."
Use MichealAtOz's advice but within all the folders that are labeled "00" or "01", (etc, I had 00 and 01) look for any settings that contain 1024, 768, or I 4096 in the data values at the end in parenthesis. Change the 1024 to the x resolution of your desktop
(the first number in resolutions) and the 768 to the y resolution of your desktop. Change the 4096 number of "Stride" to whatever number there already is in a "00" or similar titled folder that
already has (without you changing them) the desired desktop resolution numbers in primsurfsize.cx and ...y. Right click the name and choose modify, then select binary as the base to enter correct resolution
values.
Hopefully this makes sense - it solved the issue for me.
I LOVE YOU!!
This has been annoying me ages and I finally decided to get to the bottom of it. After trawling through endless pages of MS engineers telling people to update their drivers, and the sage advice of, "have you turned it on and off?", I stumbled across this.
Great job, fixed my problem with a 5 second registry tweak.
