Update Navigation Settings of a List automatically , NO manually

Hi I tried to find a solution for this:
I'm using the Metadata Navigation settings of Lists in SharePoint 2013. They are drop down menus\filters that sorts my lists.
These menus are based on the values of Choice Type columns or Metadata Columns. My problem is that I want to update the values (filters) of these menus\filters automatically , without human intervention.
This means: If there is a new type of choice\metadata in the column , I want that the drop down menu would be updated automatically and with Choice Type columns this is not possible or I couldn't figure it.
I have to clarify that the insertion of the items in the lists is automatically with a tool called Layer2 so I can't insert values in aMetadata Type column".
Also,I tried to create a workflow that insert values in a "Metadata Type column" and then insert the metadata navigation menu\filter of the list based on this column BUT I check
and looks like is not possible insert values in metadata columns though workflows.
Does anybody knows how to update the "Metadata Navigation filters\menus" of a list automatically?
I don't want add a new type of choice manually or new metadata manually.

Hi,
To update a column in one list based on another column, you have two options. If it is a simple formula, then you can define the formula in the column definition as a calculated field. If it is more complex than that, then you will have to write
an EventHandler. Whenever, a listitem is added or updated, the ItemAdded or ItemUpdated Event is raised. You will get a handle to the listItem through which you should be able to get all the field values. In this event, you can update the
other column as you want.

Slow update on OS versions in list to update My Settings

When there is an update (as today 10.6.4) you cannot change your settings so your posts show you have the updated version. Because the list does not yet contain the newest version.
Yes, it is a very small issue & "should be the worst problem any of us ever have
But, for me when I 1st update --that is when I am thinking about it & now I must remember or note to later change my settings to correctly reflect the OS version. I believe in the past it has taken DAYS for the list of choices to be updated to reflect the newest version.
I have seen other posts where where someone reports an issue & is listed as having some older version (Typically a few versions out of date) & a helpful respondent tells them to update & that should fix it -- only to be later told that the OP HAS been running the latest version & never updated their settings to reflect this. Which results in "Never Mind."

Hi Miriam,
Not a major issue as I stated. But if Apple is monitoring this thread, I suggest adding the updated OS ASAP each time. For reasons I mentioned.
I think many posters fail to update their OS & this may help some do it. Yes, others will just forget regardless. It is not as if the development of 10.6.4 was a surprise. It was anticipated for months. What is the downside to even adding it a week EARLY? Is there seriously a concern that some users will change their settings to the new OS before it is even released? So what.

After updating to 10.4.8 my airport settings aren't set automatically after

restart.
Before whenever my computer came on my airport settings would come on automatically. Now at least on my main HD, I have to set my airport settings manually each time my computer turns on.
It's weird because I have an external HD and I installed 10.4.8 on it too. My external HD STILL detects my airport settings automatically whenever I select my external HD as the startup disk. As far as I know I did the exact same thing to both HDs when I installed 10.4.8 to them.
Please help.

I fixed my own problem.
It seems that my airport file got corrupt in the /Library/Prefences/SystemConfig. I just deleted the file and I restarted my iMac twice. On the second restart it automatically detected my airport settings once again.
I did several restarts after that to make sure it's fixed. Yep, it's fixed!

Can Users have their unique Form Settings for the List of Items (Item Search)?

When any user add and remove columns for the List of Items (Item Search) via Form Settings, these changes are automatically updated for all SAP users.
Is there any way we that each user have their own unique List of Items form settings?
This is important as users for different departments will be need to see different information as they are searching for Item Master records.

Hi Ron,
This is not Possible.
Form Setting of Item Master Data will apply for all Users.
For all Users different Form Settings not Possible but you can guide your users to see while Searching Master Data.
Hope this helps

Updating a title column in list that is a lookup column to document library in sharepoint designer workflow 2010

Hi I have a requirement to create a list item in Contracts List when a document is uploaded in Contracts Vendor library.
Contracts List will
have columns - Contract Name ( title column), Contract Number, Contract Start date and end date.
Contracts Vendor library will have Contract
Name,Contract NUmber.
User will select the Contract Name from drop down ( this is look up column linked to Contract Name in Contract
List).When user uploads document in Contract Vendor library then item should be created in Contract List with selected Contract Name and
Contract number .
Contracts and Contracts Vendor are related by look up Contract Name. Contract Name is internally a title column in
Contracts List.
Issue1 :
Since Contract number is look up column, while I am creating item the Contract name is not getting updated in
Contracts List. I have to use sharepoint designer workflow to achieve this task. Title colum or Contract Name shows no title.
Issue 2:
One
more issue I am facing is that Contracts List has Section and Division cascaded drop downs when i select values from section and division
dropdowns and save item in Contracts list the values are getting saved in Contract List.
Could anyone suggest me how to handle this ? I am
attaching the screenshots of the list and library structure. TRuly appreciate your help.
Below are screenshots of the list structure

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to update a title column in list that is a lookup column to document library in sharepoint designer workflow 2010.
I try to reproduce the issues as follows:
Create a custom list named Contracts List, add columns: Contract Name ( title column), Contract Number(Number), Contract Start date(Data and Time) and Contract End date (Data and Time).
Create a document library named Contracts Vendor library, add columns: Contract Name(Lookup), Contract NUmber(Lookup).
Create a workflow associated to the Contracts Vendor library.
Add action: Create List Item.
   5. Start the workflow automatically when an item is created.
   6. Upload a document, select the Contract Name and Contract NUmber, the workflow will be started automatically.
   7. Open the Contracts List, an item will be added with the Contract Name and Contract Number in the Contracts Vendor library.
Thank you for your understanding.
Best Regards,

Can I maually check for updates but prevent them from being automatically installed if it turns out one is available?

Can I maually check for updates but prevent them from being automatically installed if it turns out one is available?
Background:
In options I have "check for updates, but let me choose whether to install them" ticked. This works fine, in that I periodically receive a notice of an available update, and it will ask me whether I want to I want to install it.
But there are certain times -- for reasons I won't go into here (unless requested as part of seeking a solution) -- where I want to manually check for new versions, but RETAIN the ability to decide whether or not to install it. But if I click Help/About Firefox/Check for Updates, and it finds an update, it will immediately proceed to install it without asking for permission. While that seems quite inconsistent with my update preferences in Options, it is apparently normal behavior as described in https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/update-firefox-latest-version#w_how-do-i-manually-check-for-updates.
So is there any way I can manually check for new-update availability but then refuse the update if I so choose? Once an unwanted install begins, I'm concerned that if I click cancel I could end up with a partial installation or some "messed up," duplicated or corrupted FF files (e.g., multiple versions appended with (1), (2) etc, similar to what sometimes confusingly happens when I do an XP System Restore).
Thanks.

I think what needs to be made very clear here is that when a user clicks on "check for updates" the software should bloody well CHECK for updates and most certainly SHOULD NOT proceed to download and apply any updates. this is misleading and intrusive.
I just wanted to check if there was an updated version but I DID NOT want to actually update at that moment. the software downloaded data, costing me money and tried to apply the update which could have potentially messed up my settings if I had not checked everything was ok first.
I actually discovered how to prevent the update by searching through windows and manually deleting the files but why should anyone have to go to such lengths?
the software should simply do as it is asked, not do things that have most certainly not been asked.

'To do' list automatically scrolls up when I click on another iCal pane

Hi,
I've just begun using iCal, so forgive me if this topic has been covered before. (I did a search, but since I don't know how to describe the problem succinctly I didn't get any results.)
Here goes. Whenever I'm in the 'To Do' pane, say mid-way down the list, and then click the calendar pane my 'To Do' list automatically scrolls up to the top. When I go back to the 'To Do' pane and pull the list down to where I want to be and click on the item that I want to update, the list once again automatically scrolls to the top and I have to pull the list down one more time before I can alter it. It's very annoying and I can't find a way to fix it.
Any suggestions?

I can confirm this function. Also I wasn't able to find anyway for it to not do this.

How to edit the navigation settings using sandboxed code?

Hello. I need to create web-provisioned event that changes current navigation settings to "Structural Navigation: Display the current site, the navigation items below the current site, and the current site's siblings".
Currently I am using following code which does not work (I used SharePont manager to get the xml for _webnavigationsettings).
public const string Webnavigationsettings = "_webnavigationsettings";
public const string GlobalNavigationIncludeTypes = "__GlobalNavigationIncludeTypes";
protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
SPWeb web = SPContext.Current.Web;
const string webnavigationsettings = @"<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-16' standalone='yes'?>
<WebNavigationSettings Version='1.1'>
<SiteMapProviderSettings>
<SwitchableSiteMapProviderSettings Name='CurrentNavigationSwitchableProvider' TargetProviderName='CurrentNavigation' />
<TaxonomySiteMapProviderSettings Name='CurrentNavigationTaxonomyProvider' Disabled='True' />
<SwitchableSiteMapProviderSettings Name='GlobalNavigationSwitchableProvider' UseParentSiteMap='True' />
<TaxonomySiteMapProviderSettings Name='GlobalNavigationTaxonomyProvider' UseParentSiteMap='True' />
</SiteMapProviderSettings>
<NewPageSettings AddNewPagesToNavigation='True' CreateFriendlyUrlsForNewPages='True' />
</WebNavigationSettings>";
if (web.GetProperty(Webnavigationsettings) != null)
web.DeleteProperty(Webnavigationsettings);
web.AddProperty(Webnavigationsettings, webnavigationsettings);
if (web.GetProperty(GlobalNavigationIncludeTypes) != null)
web.DeleteProperty(GlobalNavigationIncludeTypes);
web.AddProperty(GlobalNavigationIncludeTypes, 3);
web.Update();
I can do this with javascript but what about sandboxed c#?

Stock value is not getting updated in APO system From ECC automatically

Hi All,
Stock value is not getting updated in APO system From ECC automatically but if we do it manually from transaction CFM2 it will get updated.
for this we are using EXIT_SAPLCSTK_001.
I am using VL10A for delivery and VL06G for PGI
I have also checked integration model for material and stock.
Please help me out as it is very urgent.
Thanks,
Gaurav Mittal
Edited by: GAURAV MITTAL on Feb 6, 2008 6:09 PM

Hi,
for transferring the stock data from R/3 to APO automatically, you need to have the integration model for material and stock activated.
please check the same.
if this does not help, let me know in detail the steps which you are following..

HT4623 My iPad will not update to 5 at all. I don't even have the option of software update in settings. I've tried to update over iTunes and it doest work there either.

My iPad will not update to 5 at all. I don't even have the option of software update in settings. I've tried to update over iTunes and it doest work there either.

If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

Servers where patches will not install automatically or manually, Live updates are broken and when checking installed updates shows "NO UPDATES ARE INSTALLED ON THIS COMPUTER" SFC \SCANNOW will not run

Hello, (Bit of a long one but please read)
We have 3 servers in same physical location and server OU etc that are exhibiting the exact same behaviors (we have server servers in this location that are not), as above theyt are all W2008 R2 SP1 and all built from the same standard
image we use on hundreds of other computers, they have also been in production for different amounts of time and we started to see this behavior at different times with them: (Its odd they are all in the same site where there are also several other servers
that are not effected, there must be a link ? )
These servers are all missing several patches when checking our internal tool that reports from IBM endpoint management that we use to deliver patches (they are not all missing the exact same patches some ore or less than other), although
SCCM (we used SCCM to deliver patches until around 6 months ago) and IBM EM are both running (some ptches hark back to the SCCM Delievry days) they are not patching and when attempting to patch manually by downloading the exact patch coresponding to the fixlet
ID and the KB , the stanbdalone installer starts and after some time you receive an error message “The update is not applicable to yoru computer”. Windows update returns error 80070006 for all of the servers.
it is worth noting that other applications and products also using the .MSU extension will insatll so it is not a problem with the installer service.
The above led me to think a corrupt patch may have stopped the sequence of patching so I then looked in “Programs and Features” => “Installed updates” and this is blank for all of them returening the message:
“NO UPDATES ARE INSTALLED ON THIS COMPUTER”. (this I believe is a part of the fundamental issues and resolving this may resolve the patching)
Another issue is that if you run “SFC /SCANNOW” It starts the scan and then returns: “Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation” (Also in safe mode and both from an elevated CMD and WMI is started as a service)
The all three are probably related so I think fixing the “SFC and NO UPDATES SHOWN” issues will resolve the first.
The things I have tried so far are:
Running : wmic qfe list full /format:htable > c:\updates.htm Should produce a list of updates but instead returns : No Instance(s) Available (this is not hopeful)
Fix: Ran the “SYSTEM UPDATE REDINESS TOOL” from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947821
Result : Update Ran successfully but NO CHANGE
Fix: Ran the automated and manual fix “RESET WINDOWS UPDATE COMPONENTS” here :
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058/en then undated windows update agent.
Result : All ran successfully and NO CHANGE
Fix: Ran MBSA
Result : Runs successfully and then stays at “Done downloading security update information” (Log gives no obvious information)
Fix: Renamed the software distribution folder/restarted services (Various variations of this fix online, tried a few)
Result: Runs as described in article with new Software distribution folder being created,
NO CHANGE
Fix: Create/Correct the reg key for windows trusted installer located here HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Component Based Servicing\Version (several articles relating to this and the above issues)
Result: the existing key was correct as should be from internal system information gathered , required in article.
Fix: Ran the “Windows update trouble-shooter”
as here :
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/troubleshoot-problems-installing-updates#1TC=windows-7
Result: It detected and fixed error’s but still no change.
The WMI Repository checks out on them all for both of the methods I know to verify “Get-wmiobject –list |measure” and ensure count is over 900 and also “C:\>winmgmt /verifyrepository” and the repository came back as “WMI Repository is consistent”. I guess
this is not hard evidence the WMI is OK, but these are the only methods I know.
I have also tried removing the server from its OU , running a GP Update and then rebooting and testing but to no avail (Bit of a longshot but tried to link the distinction between the three servers and the OU GP is one of them)
I have tried a few other articles registering .Dll’s etc , but I did not take a note of links as I was at the start of this and didn’t expect it to go so long so please reply with anything you see not above im happy to try again.
I have thought about removing SP1 and reinstalling it but this will require a major downtime and only possible if the backup files of SP1 have not been removed.
Any help is apreciated !

Bookmarks are not syncing to ONE of my Macs, but showing up on other Mac (work), iPhone 4 and iPad 1. Macs are on Mountain Lion. Tried all of Apple's suggestions - and the one Mac is still not updating/syncing Bookmarks or Reading List. What's going on? Do I have to wait to OS update? It seems lots of peolple were having issues before ML, but I as fine. Since ML, I am having all kinds of issues!

Yeah, I literally have tried everything except deleting my iCloud account (I'm close, but that would require so many changes that it is way too painful to consider at this point).
I am still waiting to hear back from Apple Support. Hopefully something can be done, or they can do a reset on their end.
Thanks for taking the time to respond though, much appreciated!

Hard Drive: The Hard Drive is on my camera (Sony Handycam)
Just needed some info on what is going on with your particular system.
Knowing the exact camera model will also assist us.
If this camera is standard AVCHD you should be able to connect with USB to Mac with FCE open and use Log and Transfer without all the fiddling around converting etc.
What FCE does during ingest is convert files to AIC. (Apple Intermediate Codec)
FCE cannot read the individual files in the BDMV folder, that's why all the converting is required when you use that method.
BTW: regards formatting drives/cards/memory on cameras; it is wise to use the actual device to format rather than a computer. This is a prime cause of read/write goof ups with solid state media. This applies to still or video cameras.
Keeping the COMPLETE card/memory structure in tact is vital for successful transfers.
