Can't open Sharepoint Online site in Sharepoint Designer 2013

Hello!
I am trying to open a Sharepoint Online secure site in Sharepoint Designer 2013 (v15). When I try to open the site in Sharepoint Designer i get an error stating:
"Server error: The version of Microsoft SharePoint Foundation running on the server is more recent than the version of SharePoint Designer that you are using. You need a more recent version of SharePoint
Designer."
I used to have the preview version installed, but I uninstalled it and got the latest version I could find (version 15?). I checked the SharePoint version on the server (/_vti_pvt/service.cnf) and it says:
vti_encoding:SR|utf8-nl
vti_extenderversion:SR|16.0.0.1706The public site I have has the same version and it opens just fine in SharePoint Designer 2013. Are there any new versions of SharePoint Designer 2013 available that I have missed? My SharePoint Designer is up to date via Windows Update.I am running the designer on Windows 7 Ultimate x86.

I had the same issue today. Here what I have found.
I was using different credentials for my different SharePoint site in SPD 2013. When I try to access my new SharePoint online site (Which has different Account) the SharePoint Designer directly show me
"Server error: The version of Microsoft SharePoint Foundation running on the server is more recent than the version of SharePoint Designer that you are using. You need a more recent version of SharePoint Designer."
then I changed my Account Credentials by
Open SPD 2013
1)click File
2) Click Account
3) Log out from current user name
4) sign in by using the same credential as your new SharePoint Site.
DONE!
I think this error is not useful as it (this error) is not about which version of SharePoint you are using but more about Account credentials.(At least for me) Hope that helps.

Can't open SharePoint site in SharePoint Designer 2013 32Bit but can open Office 365.

Hello. I am running Windows 8.1 SharePoint Designer 2013 32Bit (15.0.4615.1000).
I am unable to open any sites from our SharePoint 2013 OnPremise farm. I can however open sites from our Office 365 environment.
I get the following error.
"An error occurred accessing your Microsoft SharePoint Foundation site files. Authors - if authoring against a Web server, please contact the Webmaster for this servers's Web site. WebMasters - please see the server's application event log
for more details."
I have looked in the event log but can't see anything relative.
I have cleared all caches, uninstalled and reinstalled and followed recommendations in this post.
http://community.office365.com/en-us/f/154/t/149314.aspx?PageIndex=2
My colleague with the same setup also has this issue but another doesn't and is able to access the site. I have a Windows 7 Hyper-V VM on my machine and this can open the OnPremise sites.
I really don't know what else to try short of rebuilding my machine which I would rather not do at the moment.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Issue with inserting edit item form using sharepoint designer 2013

Hi,
I inserted an edit form of a custom list in a site page using sharepoint designer-2013. But it is giving error "no item exists".
I am using default ListItemId Parameter with ID query string and I passed the query string parameter to that page. But still the result is same. But if I give any default value, page is displaying fine for that specific item although I dont pass any querystring
to the page URL.
Can you please guide me?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Chaitanya

Hi,
From your description, I know you get issue when you add “edit form” of custom list to a page.
I tried to reproduce your issue, and if I added “edit form” to page without “Advanced Mode”.
I add “edit form” to page with steps below:
Right click the page, click “Edit File in Advanced Mode”.
Find source with keywords [ContentPlaceHolderId="PlaceHolderMain"].
Choose INSERT tab in the Ribbon.
Click “Edit Item Form”, and choose the custom list that you want to add.
Save file, and go to the page.
The screenshot below is my result:

SharePoint Designer 2013 cannot access workflows in Office 365 Site

I have an Office 365 SharePoint site with a number of workflows that I have created on my machine with SPD 2013. After a number of weeks I was unable to access the workflows from my machine through SPD (while still being able to access pages, site assets
etc.), getting the following error: (Am restricted from submitting images)
"Server-side activities have been updated. You need to restart SharePoint Designer to use the updated version of activities"
Restarting SPD doesn't help, after clicking OK I get the "SharePoint Designer cannot display the item" screen, prompting me to refresh.
When I do refresh, I get the following:
"Windows Workflow Foundation, part of .Net Framework 3.0, must be installed to use this feature"
This is happening on my machine, Windows 7 64 Bit, SPD 2013 64 Bit, but on a colleague's machine, Win 7 64 Bit, SPD 2013 64 Bit I can access the workflows.
I get the same error if I try to create a new Workflow on my machine but I can create it on my colleague's machine.
I downloaded SPD 2013 on a 32 bit laptop I have access to, in which I can create a workflow. One existing workflow can be accessed, updated etc. with no issue, one opens to a prompt to "Insert a stage" and one tells me that it "Failed to load
the workflow definition for the workflow", then the "SharePoint Designer cannot display the item" screen. All of these workflows can be accessed from my colleague's machine.
Here are the actions that I have taken to date on my own machine:
Cleared the caches multiple times
Checked for updates
Installed .Net Framework 4.5
Re-installed .Net Framework 4.0 (which contains 3.0)
Uninstalled and re-installed SPD 2013
Due to issues with a workflow on the site I am in contact with MS Support who are aware of this issue, they sent me a link to a hot fix that was already installed but they have no concrete idea of what might be going on.
I was convinced that it was an issue on my machine, but I don't know what the issues that I have seen on the 32 bit SPD on the new laptop mean.
I have been searching the internet for a fix with no success, I would appreciate any help.
Thanks
Mick

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that SharePoint Designer 2013 cannot access workflows in Office 365 Site.
There was an issue recently when a service release was implemented that incremented the version number in the HTML header on some SharePoint online sites to '16' when SPD was expecting '15'.
I suggest to install internet explore 10 and install a patch for IE10. Then test with "open with windows explore" then opened in SPD from sharepoint online.
In addition, I suggest that in SPD go to Account > Switch Account and type in the credentials of the site you are trying to open (it defaults to your Microsoft Login).
If the issue persists, to troubleshoot this issue, you can uninstall all versions of SharePoint Designer on workstation, clear cache and then reinstalling the latest SharePoint Designer. For the detailed information, you can refer to the
article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2794961

Hi,
I'm assuming you made your site as internet site (public facing).
In that case you might site desired output. If not you can think of replacing text
i.e SP2013 = hello.com

Hi NaveenKSah,
According to your description, my understanding is that you got an error when you opened AAM url of a site with SharePoint 201o Designer.
Please try to add <remove verb="*" path="*.asmx" /> after <httpHandlers> in the site web.config file, compare the result.
Note: before changing the web.config file, please make a backup for the file.

Sharepoint online & Sharepoint Designer 2013

Hi, I am receiving an error each time I try to open a SharePoint online site through SharePoint designer 2013.
The error is saying "The Server Could not complete your request". I click on 'Details' and get a repeated "403 Forbidden403 Forbidden403 Forbidden" error message. After I pass this message I get a standard "You do not have permission
to open this web site in SharePoint designer"
Here are a list of things that have so far not worked for me:
Using "https://" rather than "http://" - Same issue.
Removing SharePoint Designer, deleting cache in "users>Roaming>SharePoint designer cache" - Same issue.
Clearing Generic Credentials in Credential Manager - Same issue.
Checking SharePoint site permissions to ensure that " Same issue.
My Admin role grants no restrictions.
I have Nintex trials installed and have used it to build forms on the site, I also have Nintex workflow however current tutorials detailing how to do what I need to do require SharePoint Designer 2013.
Finally SharePoint Developer 2013 has opened sites before, both SharePoint online sites and on prem, but now our company has gone in for the 'real deal' site I can not open this in SharePoint Designer 2013.
Any support would be very much appreciated, I have been trying to find a solution for a number of days now going into a week.

Hi Andrew,
What permission do you have at site collection level and site level？
For troubleshooting your issue, please go to your site collection -> site settings -> site collection administration -> SharePoint Designer Settings, make sure you enable the SharePoint Designer.
Also make sure the o365 sites are added to the trusted sites and the WebClient services (Search: services.msc) is running.Then in SPD go to Account > Switch Account and type in the credentials of the site you are trying to open (it defaults to your
Microsoft Login).

SharePoint Designer 2013 does not load working workflows in design view

Hello,
I would like to share with you a strange thing that happens to me with Sharepoint Designer 2013.
I designed two list workflows with SPD 2013 for a Sharepoint Online platform.
Both workflows works in the engine as designed, but sometimes happens that in SPD they just don't open in the designer view, even if they do not give errors in the execution view
The error message is that Sharepoint Designer has encountered an error and needs to be restarted. (Obviously restarting does not solve).
Sometimes happens also that the workflows opens but blank, with no steps.
Since this is an online platform, I can't consult logs.
I am thinking to open a ticket with Microsoft, but I would like also to ask to the community if someone encountered this and can suggest a way to troubleshoot what happened and why.
Thanks!

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that the workflow cannot be opened in SharePoint Designer and sometimes it opened with no steps.
Did this issue occur with other workflows and did it occur often with the same workflow?
I recommend to uninstall SharePoint Designer, delete all the files in the three locations below:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WebsiteCache
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\SharePoint Designer\ProxyAssemblyCache
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Web Server Extensions\Cache
After that reboot the client and re-install SharePoint Designer 2013 with the latest updates packaged to see if the issue still occurs.
If the issue still occurs with the same workflow, it may be caused by a known issue or by manual manipulation of the XAML in
SharePoint Designer 2013 that can
corrupt the workflow, then we need to recreate the workflow.
Best regards.
Thanks

SharePoint designer 2013 crashes most of the time, when opening sites. Error: The server could not complete the request.

Hi,
I have few sharepoint 2013 site's, which I am trying to open in sharepoint designer 2013.
After adding the site name in open site and clicking ok, the sharepoint designer crashes. At times the sites open, but 90% of the time, the sharepoint 2013 designer has crashed. I get the message "The server could not complete the request. For
more specific information, click on the Details button".
When clicking on "Details" button, there is a empty box. The error message never gets closed and have to kill the process.
I have tried doing "IISreset" multiple times, which has not helped.
Has anybody faced this issue? How to fix this?
Thanks

Hi Venkatzeus,
Firstly, I need to verify the followings:
1.Whether this issue occurred on a specify SharePoint 2013 site.
2.Whether you have extended the problematic site.
Make sure that your user is a site administrator. If you have extended the problematic site, please add it to AAM.
There are other probable causes for this issue:
1.Anonymous authentication is not configured for the problematic web application in IIS
Fix: Enable Anonymous authentication in IIS
2.Server is running out of memory
Fix: Free up memory on the server

Hi Renee,
No, you do not have to edit the form from the master page. Master pages do not have forms on them. They define the layout and look-n-feel of a Sharepoint Site.
You said you are adding new column to the list in SPD. Why not in the site itself and then edit the form.?
http://office.microsoft.com/en-001/sharepoint-designer-help/create-a-custom-list-form-using-sharepoint-designer-HA010378258.aspx
Also, check if you master page is checked in and published. If there is content approval on it, it should be approved.
