Unable to open a site in Designer 2013

Hi,
I wanted to open a site, which is at level 3 from the top site in Designer 2013, but i get this message: "You do not have permissions to open this web site in SharePoint Designer"
Example: http://sharepoint.contoso.com/sites/siteA/siteB
Any guesses please ?
Many thanks !

did you check whether you actually have permission?
did you check whether SPD was blocked by admins?

Unable to open Sharepoint site with Designer "Folder name is not valid"

Hi all,
I'm using SharePoint 2013 with SharePoint Designer 2013, but currently I'm facing a weird behaviour.
I can open my preproduction SharePoint portal with SharePoint Designer 2013, but when I'm trying to open my production environment, I'm receiving the error "The folder name is not valid". Even it doesn't ask for credentials.
Anyone knows what is happening?

There are few other options people used to solve this issue. refer to the following posts if you haven't so far. hope it helps.

Unable to open jsp file in Design mode

Hi,
I am unable to open jsp files in design mode, I am using eclipse Version: 3.6.1.
Please help.
Regards,
Ale Hasan

Hi Ale,
Thank you for the additional information. Unfortunately, there does not seem to be anything unusual about your project based on your description. I'm surprised you don't see any processes listed in the process view while waiting for the page to open. I thought you might see something related to a queue manager job to "Manage Resource Event Jobs".
Are there any messages in the error.log? You can open a view to the error log from the menu option, "Window -> Show View -> Error Log". I'm curious if there are any messages about a process timing out, unable to reset some object within a certain time, or any exceptions logged.
If you change to another workspace with just a single JSF web project containing a smaller number of JSP, do you experience the same behavior?
Can you also try using a more recent release of OEPE to see if that helps? The 11.1.1.6.1 release is about a year old.

Unable to open https sites. can open when using firefox in safe mode.

Mozilla Firefox has been an exceptional browser, however in the last update I have experienced problems when trying to open https sites. They will not open and then time out. I do not have this problem when using Internet explorer. I have contacted customer service at the problem sites, and they have said other customers have also experienced this problem. I have gone into options and have changed various settings to see if this would solve the problem. It didn't, your response would be appreciated.. Please note if I use firefox in safe mode I can access these sites? My E-mail as follows: [email protected]

Did you perhaps install an extension to open sites with https
# Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press "Enter"
# Use Find ("Ctrl+F") to look for '''https'''
One such extension is "HTTPS-Everywhere"
As you probably know Firefox Safe Mode disables extensions and some preferences.

Unable to open web site

Hi
I am unable to open www.asx.com.au (the Australian Stock Exchange web site).
www.isitjustme says it is ok and it's just me and one of my friends confirmed they were able to open the site.
I have rebooted and also booted in safe mode and disabled AdBlockPlus and in safe mode the virus scanners appear to be off.
I haven't been able to find the site listed anywhere on the iMac as being blocked, but am unsure where to start as this has not happened before.
The problem cropped up earlier when I tried to open a spreadsheet in ApacheOpenOffice Calc and the links to import external data from their web pages failed. So I then tried to open the web site and can't open it. I have tried using Safari, Opera and Firefox. All other web sites are ok.
Oh dear.... I just tried on my iPhone and that also failed to open the site.
.....So does this mean that I need to contact the ASX tomorrow by phone or is there another possibility that I need to check.
I though maybe the action of the spreadsheet upset them, but is has been fine for a long time, though I haven't opened it for a few weeks.
Could it be the modem.... a NetComm NB9WMAXX
Thanks
Hardware Overview:
Model Name:    iMac
Model Identifier:    iMac7,1
Processor Name:    Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed:    2.4 GHz
Number Of Processors:    1
Total Number Of Cores:    2
L2 Cache:    4 MB
Memory:    4 GB
Bus Speed:    800 MHz
Boot ROM Version:    IM71.007A.B03
osx 10.6.8

Just rebooted modem and now able to connect. I notice that the ASX web site has undergone a face lift so all the links in the spreadsheet may be broken and caused a bottleneck for me I suppose ????
no replies thanks as is fixed now.

Unable to open any .IFDs in Designer 7.0 or 7.1

I am trying to convert some ifd files to pdf. I've tried both Designer 7.0 and 7.1 and the ifds are being saved with Output Designer 5.6. I know when I originally tried to open an IFD in 7.0, before I had OD5.6 installed, it would ask for OD 5.5. I assumed that 7.1 would properly support 5.6 and maybe it does, but when I try and open a brand new, minimal IFD in Designer 7.1 I get this message:
"Configuration file '...\PDF.ICF' has invalid version.'."
Any ideas? Thanks so much!

Hi Palanir,
It's been a while since I looked at this, but I recall in the descriptions that if the text was not plain, I was having problems. That means that unusual symbols (like the ubiquitous square that one often sees when fonts are not set properly) are not allowed. Also, I think that there cannot be a blank space at the end of a description...so just make sure that a genuine letter, period, etc. is the final character in a description.
The description for a file is opened up within Output Designer (I think...it's been a while :)) and under tools or something for that file, there is a free-text area where you can attach notes to a specific ifd file, and that's the area I'm talking about.
XML errors may be caused by other parts of the file as well, but the solution to my errors was by dealing with the above.
Hope that helps!

Unable to open internet sites

Since yesterday, when trying to open some internet sites, using either Safari or Firefox, I get the same message:
404 Not Found
The requested URL /blog/reinaldo/ was not found on this server.

Happens with some other sites too.
Anybody experiencing the same problem?

I am also having problems open certain sites since yesterday, but they DO open in a PC... just don't in Mac, either my Mac Pro or my Mac Book Pro. I tried all browsers Safari, Firefox, and Chrome. These are some of the sites with issues:
http://www.yogaglo.com/

and yesterday I was having issues with Hotmail as well and I am seeing a lot of people are having the same problems with other sites.

Did you check your security software (firewall)?
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox.<br />
Also make sure that the firewall doesn't intercept secure connections via port 443.

Unable to Open Project Site Access Denied Issue Project 2013

This issue is happening to select projects and select project managers, they can view certain project sites but receive the error on other projects. After some extensive testing
it looks like if the PM is the owner of the project plan they are not getting added to any of the synced groups for the project site. I can change the project owner to any another PM and it processes correctly and adds them to the PM synced group on
the Project site. As soon as I make the original PM the Project plan owner again the previous PM gets removed from the PM synced group and added to the Team member synced group, the way its supposed to work. However the PM with the problem never
gets added to any group. I have to manually add them to the non-synced Owner group on the project site so they don't get removed from the synced PM group the next time the sync runs at midnight.
As I stated it is happening on select project plans and select PMs. I have tried replublishing the project plan via Project professional and the web and the results are the same.
If I create a new project plan and assign one of the PMs with the issue to the plan everything works correctly. We noticed the issue a few weeks ago; most of the plans with the issue are several months to a year old so they were working correctly until
recently. They had also made PM owner changes prior to the issue on most of those plans and everything worked correctly.
If anyone is experiencing this issue and has a fix please let me know. I am trying not to open an MS support ticket if possible.
Frank Miranda Florida Hospital MIS

I believe I've found the fix for this issue. After opening a ticket with MS support and not getting anywhere with this issue I decided to do an in-depth review of all the Project and SharePoint 2013 CU's starting with December 2013 to September 2014.
To my amazement buried inside the July 2014 CU was a hotfix for this issue described almost word for word. (I will list all the relevant KB's at the end) I contacted my support engineer inquiring about this hotfix and he stated it wasn't relevant because
the "Synchronize Project Web App permissions to Project Site" was not failing or even generating any warnings in our Prod or Test environments. I stated that is not always an indicator as ULS doesn't always catch all relevant errors.
I informed him that I also found a second hotfix pertaining to the same issue released August 2014, apparently the first hotfix in July didn't totally resolve the issue and a second hotfix was released. He was adamant that this would not resolve
our issue and he requested or production databases because he was unable to replicate the issue in his test environment. The reason, you may wonder, is because he was at a higher patch level that our farm.... Obviously! His farm had the most current
CU which included the hotfixes from July and August. Apparently he didn't see the flaw in his logic.
I decided to install the September CU on our test farm. Low and behold that fixed the problem, even though MS support stated the hotfix was not relevant to our issue. I learned a long time ago to take MS support comments as suggestions instead
of gospel truth, this isn't the first time they have confidently given me erroneous information.
We are currently doing further testing to verify that this CU didn't break something else. Unfortunately these rollups are not GA and Microsoft is very clear that you should only install them if the hotfixes pertain directly to your issue.
Finding the hotfixes was a chore as Microsoft loves to create multiple KB's for the same thing and then nest (bury) them so you have to dig through four or five KB's to find the relevant fix. I'll save you the trouble and list them below.
