- The user does not have full or design permissions in the SharePoint site -- My permission level is "Full Control"
All inside a corporate Lan. This is a first time setup? Any ideas?

Hi
If you open up the project file from within the sharepoint list and then click sync what happens?

Tasks re-sorting in the MPP file when synching with SharePoint task list

When synchronizing the MPP file with the ShPt task list, we have seen tasks re-sorting in the MPP file. Very annoying, especially with schedules with a large number of tasks. Just wondering if anyone has experienced this issue, and if you
could point me in the right direction for solving it. FYI, listing below my signature the columns we are synchronizing (in case you know of an issue with one or more of these).
FYI, we are using MS Project 2013 Pro and SharePoint 2010. We tried using the synch feature with MSP 2010 and it did not seem to be available.
Greatly appreciate your help on this topic. Sincerely,
Michael.

Hi,
The resource is created as a new resource with no security group and no loggin account, meaning it is strictly a resource and not a user. So this resource can be assigned on others projects but cannot connect to PS in any way (thus does not consume a CAL)
unless you convert it into a user by adding a valid account and a security group.
Hope this helps,

Integrate Sharepoint task list with exchange server

First question is it possible or not? I have tried to search a lot on this topic but does not find a way to achieve this. I know how to integrate task list with outlook but I want to integrate it with exchange
server. Any help in this regard would be highly appreciated.

Hi ,
In SharePoint Server 2010 , tasks lists are blindly synced to the local Outlook desktop application. You can see SharePoint Tasks only on the client computer to which the SharePoint task list was downloaded.
If you log on to another device, you must sync the SharePoint task list to that device in order to see the tasks.
But in SharePoint Server 2013, SharePoint Server 2013 task lists use Exchange Server to sync, tasks are updated in real time and can be seen on any device that you use to access Microsoft Outlook. When SharePoint
Server is connected to Microsoft Exchange Server, and all client computers are connected to Exchange Server, client computers receive information from the task lists directly from Exchange Server.
For a workaround, you can use 3rd Party tool to connect Exchange Server to SharePoint task lists. For more information, you can refer to the blog:
http://www.layer2solutions.com/en/community/FAQs/BDLC/Pages/How-to-connect-SharePoint-lists-to-Exchange.aspx

SharePoint Provider Hosted App that can update existing SharePoint Task List

Note: I am unable to take advantage of the Microsoft.SharePoint library directly. Adding a reference results in a 32bit/64bit library mismatch error.
I have to find a solution that uses only the Microsoft.SharePoint.Client extension.
I am looking for example code where provider-hosted SharePoint App loads a SharePoint Task List View that allows users to interact with the tasks.
So far I have only been able to programmatically create and then load the SharePoint tasks list, create and populate a DataTable object and set the datasource of a GridView object to that DataTable.
I am unable to trigger my method linked to my checkbox within the gridview.
Ideally I would like to just customize a Task View that already has this functionality.
Here is my default.aspx.cs code-behind file:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using System.Data;
using SP = Microsoft.SharePoint.Client;
namespace SPAppBasicWeb
public partial class Default : System.Web.UI.Page
protected void Page_PreInit(object sender, EventArgs e)
Uri redirectUrl;
switch (SharePointContextProvider.CheckRedirectionStatus(Context, out redirectUrl))
case RedirectionStatus.Ok:
return;
case RedirectionStatus.ShouldRedirect:
Response.Redirect(redirectUrl.AbsoluteUri, endResponse: true);
break;
case RedirectionStatus.CanNotRedirect:
Response.Write("An error occurred while processing your request.");
Response.End();
break;
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
// The following code gets the client context and Title property by using TokenHelper.
// To access other properties, the app may need to request permissions on the host web.
var spContext = SharePointContextProvider.Current.GetSharePointContext(Context);
using (var clientContext = spContext.CreateUserClientContextForSPHost())
//clientContext.Load(clientContext.Web, web => web.Title);
//clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
//Response.Write(clientContext.Web.Title);
SP.ClientContext cc = new SP.ClientContext("http://server/sites/devapps");
SP.Web web = cc.Web;
SP.List list = web.Lists.GetByTitle("General Tasks");
SP.CamlQuery caml = new SP.CamlQuery();
Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ListItemCollection items = list.GetItems(caml);
cc.Load<Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.List>(list);
cc.Load<Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ListItemCollection>(items);
//try
//const int ColWidth = 40;
cc.ExecuteQuery();
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
dt.Columns.Add("Task Name", typeof(string));
dt.Columns.Add("ID", typeof(int));
foreach (Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ListItem liTask in items)
DataRow dr = dt.NewRow();
dr["Task Name"] = liTask["Title"];
dr["ID"] = liTask["ID"];
//dr["chkTask"] = liTask["Checkmark"];
dt.Rows.Add(dr);
GridView1.DataSource = dt;
GridView1.DataBind();
protected void chkTask_CheckedChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
//add code here to update Task Item by ID
Response.Write("checkbox event triggered");
Here is my simple default.aspx:

Hi,
Please try to modify your code as below:
using (var clientContext = spContext.CreateUserClientContextForSPHost())
SP.Web web = clientContext.Web;
SP.List list = web.Lists.GetByTitle("General Tasks");
SP.CamlQuery caml = new SP.CamlQuery();
Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ListItemCollection items = list.GetItems(caml);
clientContext.Load(items);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
If the code still not works, I suggest you debug the code or following the blog below to create a Provider-Hosted App for SharePoint and read list items from SharePoint list.

2013, Resources do not synch if from MS Project to SharePoint task list

SharePoint and Project Professional 2013. I am synching MS Project with a SharePoint task list. Tasks synch just fine, but I continually get the synch error "We can't synch resource 'resourcename' to the tasks list because the resource
does not exist on the SharePoint server. This resource, and any other resource that doesn't exist in SharePoint, will remain assigned to the tasks in your project plan.". If I then select one of the tasks in SharePoint, add the same
resource (same spelling), then the resource gets synched to that and all other tasks in the plan (after I choose to use the SharePoint revisions in the popup window).
I am connected to Project Server and this happens for both a simple site synch to MS Project as well as if I use Project in visibility mode. I am posting to this forum because if I can solve the simple synch to SharePoint resources that will solve
both issues. We will have lots of PMs managing lots of projects and I would like to be able to synch resources from MS Project if possible.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
Larry Christofaro, PMP, MCITP Tribridge

I am also getting this issue, but for few resources, I observed that these resources had a special character in their email address / name in active directory.
When I assign a resource from SharePoint it all works fine as mentioned by you.
Even I am not able to find a solution for this.
It would be great if anybody can guide us through this.
Thanks.

Project Pro 2013 and syncing with SharePoint Online 2013 (Office 365)

Good day,
I am experiencing some challenges with a Project Pro master project file and syncing to SharePoint 2013 (Office 365).
What works
Individual projects can be synced to SharePoint without issue. Once synced, the site start page presents the Project Summary gant, clicking the Tasks link takes me to the tasks. Project files are stored in the Site Assets directory in each SharePoint site
(one site per project file).
What doesn't work
When I create a new project (and sync it to a new site), then add two (2) existing project files that reside on SharePoint and then sync to the new master project site I
don't see any content in the Project Summary gant, nor do I see any tasks in the task list. I can't figure out if this is not supported or if I've done something wrong. There are no error messages or indicators that I've done something wrong,
short of the master project projects not showing up on the master project site (nothing in the project summary gant and no tasks).
Some help would be greatly appreciated. Being able to render a master project is crucial to understanding timelines for many projects in a single view.

Steven,
This is by design. Inserted Sub projects will NOT show in the Master Project Tasks list. You will only see tasks inserted directly at the Master Project Level.
Moreover, if you set up a dependency between Master project Task and Subproject task, then the sync will not work. All in all, there are limitations for this process, which is where Project Online/Project Server needs to be considered.
Cheers,

Palm pre sync with Google tasks?

Hello, I am thinking about upgrading my Centro to a Palm Pre versus a Google Android phone. I am leaning towards the pre but for one issue. I know that it is easy to sync Google calendars, but what about syncing Google tasks? I saw some old posts that said you can't do it, but am wondering if it is now supported.

Hello. I am new to the forum and might not be here long if a couple issues can't can't be fixed.
1. As an ADHD adult, the tasks list is by far the most important application on a Palm for me. I synchronized all my data from Palm Desktop 6.22 to my brand new Pre and there are a couple problems. One, I can't figure out how to do recurring tasks. On the Centro it was simple. Just enter something like "feed the fish" and set it to redo three days after task was completed. I see no settings like this . How can I get recurring tasks back?
2. I used to have categories on my Palm Centro task list. For example, as a teacher, I had school tasks, a grocery lists, a Home Depot list, etc. These categories disappeared after I synced to my newly created Google account.
3. This is pretty similar to number two. I used to have categories for memos. Categories for passwords, categories for college stuff, categories for fantasy baseball stuff, etc. Now, they're gone. How do I get them back.
4. More memos questions. How come some of them show the details and then starting at the letter P, I just see sticky notes with one or two letters? WHat is that about? How am I supposed to know what those memos are? How do I fix this?
I've been a Palm Use for well over a decade, but if Palm can;t fix things like this, well, then I guess I'll give up on 'em and get a Droid like my wife. However, Palm has helped me organize my life for so long I'd like to stay with them. Are there any fixes for these problems, either via setting on the phone, apps, or anything else? Thank you in advance for your help.

Unable to sync with Palm Desktop

Here's my problem. I haven't been able to sync with my elderly Palm IIIC for about 2 years. Now my daughter gave me her Palm Zire 31. All my data are in my Palm Desktop on my iMac G5. Somewhere along the way I tried using iSync and got a bunch of stuff in my Mac address book. So I did a hard reset on the Palm Zire 31, then successfully hot-synced on my G5. But my nice address from my Palm Desktop file isn't coming over, just the crummy one from the Mac address book I think. My Palm Desktop address file has all the names in categories etc. I have tried making sure I have the correct conduits for syncing with the Palm desktop, and I tried telling the Sync operation to override with the Mac contents. I just want to move all my address data from my Palm Desktop on my Mac to the Zire. Any help here?

If you want to move all of the address data from your Palm Desktop to your handheld organizer, there is only one way to do it: using the Palm-supplied conduits to do so, not iSync and it's built-in iSync Palm Conduit. The transfer of all of the data from the Palm Desktop, including categories, simply is not supported by iSync or the iSync Palm Conduit.
The Missing Sync for Palm OS is an alternative, but you have to plan carefully how you do this, as you must first move the data from the Palm Desktop to either your device—or, through an export/import process—directly into both iCal and the Address Book. iCal task data doesn't survive this process, only calendaring data. In either event, categories don't transfer.
You'll have to perform some manual categorization on both your device and in the Address Book, and iSync will not support these changes. It won't reverse or otherwise modify them, it simply won't synchronize them. This is the case because you must overwrite the data on your handheld the first time you use the Missing Sync for Palm OS to synchronize.
The Missing Sync for Palm OS will, but only when using Mac OS X 10.4.4 or later, and an advanced Palm device with Palm OS 5.4 or later on board, as I recall. Only the Z22 would qualify, if that contention is true. Here is a list of Palm OS versions tied to specific handheld devices:
http://kb.palmone.com/SRVS/CGI-BIN/WEBCGI.EXE/,/?St=69,E=0000000000412440418,K=2 589,Sxi=8,useTemplate=Case.tem,CASE=10714
My Treo 600, with Palm OS 5.2.1, does not qualify as an advanced device and does not support categorization in the same manner as later devices do.

Project File Sync with SharePoint online across time zones

We have a Project file that we have synced with an 0365 SharePoint site. The project teams are working in US Central Time and Vladivostok Russia. The original Project file is set up in Vladivostok time. Users see the SharePoint Task Dates
in their local time. However, when the project manager opens the file in Central Time Zone, the project file automatically reschedules start dates that are on Monday in Vladivostok (which start on Sunday in US Central Time) to non-weekend US Days and
then updates the SharePoint Tasks. If the project manager in Vladivostok opens the file, more auto-scheduling occurs to move Start Dates to non-weekends in Vladivostok.
Is there anything we can do to avoid the auto-rescheduling based on the time zones that will not affect the file if we need to change the Start and Due Dates due to late starts?
Kim Frehe

The level of sophistication that synchronizing to a SharePoint site is minimalistic. This is a very simple collaboration scheme. AFAIK, there is nothing you can do other than to all play in the same time zone, or at least pretend to by observing the offset.
For international collaboration, Project Online would be your best answer. I suggest that you request a 30-day trial, which you can obtain from a Gold partner such as my company.

Unable to sync iphone4. iphone not recognized. wants me to restore factory settings. I've done that several times and problem persists.This has been an issue sunce buying the phone.

Hello @dazegoneby,
I understand that your HP Pavilion p6-2220t Desktop PC running Windows 7 used to connect to your home network without an issue, but recently it does not recognise the network. I am providing you with an HP Support document: Troubleshooting Your Wireless Network and Internet Connection (Windows 7), which has steps to help resolve issues such as this. Now I am not recommending that you do the step that asks you to reset up your router as you have other devices that are working fine so that would not be the issue.
If the above document does not resolve your issue could you please re-post with either a screen shot of your Device Manager showing what is listed in Network Adapters or re-post with which wireless card you have.
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!
Please click the "Thumbs Up" on the bottom right of this post to say thank you if you appreciate the support I provide!
Also be sure to mark my post as “Accept as Solution" if you feel my post solved your issue, it will help others who face the same challenge find the same solution.

SharePoint Task List using Workflow for approver chain, gathering information from another list.

What I have is a Custom List, that got the following fields for each item.
ApplicationName(SingleText) OwnerApproval(Person) ManagerApproval(Person) InstallExeuction(Person)
Example data:
| ApplicationName: Photoshop
| OwnerApproval: Mister Blue
| ManagerApproval: Mister Red
| InstallExecution: IT Group
What I have now then, is a task list as well. Where the user can press new task, and type in their PC name (singletext) and a dropdown menu to choose what application they want, for instance Photoshop.
I'm not trying to make a workflow that starts when a new item is created to send an email to the OwnerApproval set for this specific application, Photoshop, if he approves it, a new email should be sent to ManagerApproval specific application, Photoshop.
And if the last person ManagerApproval accepts it, a last email should be sent to InstallExecution, which if this person approves the task is marked as completed.
I've been trying for mad now using SharePoint Designer and I almost got it to work.
Can anyone help me? I'm going mad here, I have VERY LIMITED knowledge in sharepoint designer.

Hi Plankton,
To achieve this goal, we can create with three Start a task process steps in the workflow and the workflow needs to be set to start when an item is created.
For example, the custom list is called Custom, and the task list is called Task Custom.
We can use the Task Status column for showing as Rejected or Excuted/Installed based on the users’ approval, so we need to add Rejected and Excuted/Installed values to the Task Status column. (same settings for Custom:ManagerApproval and Custom:InstallExecution
as Custom:OwnerApproval with their own column value)
Best regards.
Thanks

Unable to get the SharePoint 2013 List names using Client object model for the input URL

Please can you help with this issue.
We are not able to get the SharePoint 2013 List names using Client object model for the input URL.
What we need is to use default credentials to authenticate user to get only those list which he has access to.
clientContext.Credentials = Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials
But in this case we are getting error saying ‘The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized.’
Instead of passing Default Credentials, if we pass the User credentials using:
clientContext.Credentials = New Net.NetworkCredential("Administrator", "password", "contoso")
It authenticates the user and works fine. Since we are developing a web part, it would not be possible to pass the user credentials. Also, the sample source code works perfectly fine on the SharePoint 2010 environment. We need to get the same functionality
working for SharePoint 2013.
We are also facing the same issue while authenticating PSI(Project Server Interface) Web services for Project Server 2013.
Can you please let us know how we can overcome the above issue? Please let us know if you need any further information from our end on the same.
Sample code is here: http://www.projectsolution.com/Data/Support/MS/SharePointTestApplication.zip
Regards, PJ Mistry (Email: [email protected] | Web: http://www.projectsolution.co.uk | Blog: EPMGuy.com)

Hi Mistry,
I sure that CSOM will authenticate without passing the
"clientContext.Credentials = Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials" by default. It will take the current login user credentials by default. For more details about the CSOM operations refer the below link.
