What is Office 365 in sharepoint 2013

HI

Hi adil,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to know what is Office 365.
“SharePoint” can refer to one or more Microsoft SharePoint products or technologies including SharePoint Online. SharePoint 2013 is on its way and currently its preview is available both for on-premises and SharePoint Online as a service.
SharePoint Online is a cloud-based service, hosted by Microsoft, for businesses of all sizes. Instead of installing and deploying SharePoint Server on premises, any business can now simply subscribe to an Office 365 plan, or the standalone SharePoint Online
service, and their employees can create sites to share documents and information with colleagues, partners, and customers.
For more information, you can refer to the following articles:

What's the difference between SharePoint 2013 and Office 365 Team Sites?

Hi there,
What are the differences between SharePoint 2013 and Office 365 Team Sites?
If I would like to develop a professional corporate website with SharePoint technology (because the company allready uses Office 365), do you recommend using SharePoint 2013 (in the cloud) or Office 365 Team Sites? And why?
Thank you very much!

You cannot make SPO Team Sites anonymous-enabled, therefor they're a moot point for a public website.
While slightly out of date, take a look at this:

Office 365 pro plus 2013 update won't apply automatically

Hi
We have started to use office 365 pro plus 2013 click to run. The issue / problem we have is that the updates are installing but does not apply. The version of word,excel.. Is old
and i need to manually go to example word and account to apply the updates. I want the updates to automatically apply.
In the config file i have enabled updates. <Updates Enabled="TRUE" />. I have also enabled updates thru group policy and checked that the policy is applying.
In the registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\15.0\ClickToRun\propertyBag i have the following keys:
updatesenabled = 1
UpdatesDiscoveryPeriodComplete = 1
updatesreadytoapply = 15.0.4535.1511,en-us
UpdatesDiscoveryPeriodStartTime = 13026393682226
updatesthrottlevalue = 313
version = 15.0.4535.1004
Does anyone have this problem and know how to make the updates apply automatically. I know that if there are office applications open it won’t apply or update but i have a test
computer with no office applications running in the process list and still it won’t apply the updates.

How can I download content of wiki pages from Office 365 online Sharepoint site using c#?
Ratnesh[MSFT]

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to download content of wiki pages on SharePoint Online.
If just for getting the text of the page, I suggest you convert page to PDF file first and then download the PDF file via a Visual Web Part as a Sandboxed solution.
A sample about export HTML to PDF:

Office 365 upgrade to 2013 version breaks CFmail

We have been using CFmail to authenticate to Office 365 (version 2010 of the product) for many months without issue, using TLS / port 587
On May 1st our account was upgraded to the 2013 version and since then we can't consistently authenticate; often the connection is refused and the mail queues up.
The script looks like this:
<cfmail from="[email protected]" to="#order_info.email#" subject="Shipping information for #order_info.orderid#" type="html" server="smtp.office365.com" username="[email protected]" password="password" port="587" usetls="true">
Errors we see are like this:
"Error","scheduler-2","05/13/13","12:42:44",,"failed to connect"
"Error","scheduler-3","05/13/13","12:42:13",,"failed to connect"
"Error","scheduler-0","05/13/13","12:45:16",,"failed to connect"
Has anyone faced this problem and solved it?
thank you in advance

Hi,
I think we are talking about the feature to reduce Outlook 2013 header size. This feature is available in the Outlook version is reported as 15.0.4551.1005, apparently your version is not updated.
If you haven't transformed "Windows Update" into "Microsoft Update", please try the steps below:
1. Start the "Windows Update" window
2. Click the link in "Get updates for other Microsoft Products. Find out more"
3. Internet Explorer starts at the Microsoft Update page which detects you only have "Windows Update" configured and asks you if you want to configure "Microsoft Update" as well by agreeing to its Terms of Use.
4. Clicking there refreshes the same page into "Choose how Windows can install Updates" page
5. Click on the "Install" button
6. In the UAC screen, confirm you are an Administrator
7. Internet Explorer now refreshes the page to show "Find Windows Update using your Start Screen"
8. "Windows Update" now will find updates for other Microsoft products like Office 2013 as well
If the steps above are different from what you see in your computer, please refer to this KB below, try the steps under
I am currently using Windows Update. How can I access Microsoft Update?
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/901037
Check if now Office will update, please note usually the updates to Office 2013 are pushed to Windows Updates after a period of time.

Open Documents with Office Web App - SharePoint 2013

We have configured Office Web App for our SharePoint 2013 Farm and in Site settings, Site Collection Features, have disabled "Open Documents in Client Applications by Default" . Out of 15 sites, all documents in 13 sites open in Office
Web App. One of the 2 sites where the document still open using Client Application is a Wiki site.
Advanced propertied for the libraries settings has been set to "Use the server default (Open in the browser)". Anything else to check to open documents in Office Web App?
Thanks
MP

Hi,
As I understand, you encountered the issue when you want to open documents with Office Web App.
Check things below:
1. In the library setting->advanced setting, you can choose the open in the browser to see if the same situation will occur.
2. Check if you have not enable the Open Documents in Client Applications by Default feature.
If you choose Activate to enable the Open in Client feature (documents will open in the client application), or
Deactivate to disable the Open in Client feature (documents will open in the browser).
You can go to Site setting->site collection administration->site collection feature->Open
Documents in Client Applications by Default to set the feature.
The article below is about how to set the default open behavior for browser-enabled documents.

Office 365 online Sharepoint (Business Premium) - pre-build intranet site that can be installed

Hello,
Is their any possibility to setup in the new Office 365 online a SharePoint with a pre-build intranet website?
Those options exists in many intranet systems. Example: in Bitrix24 their is possebility to start with a theme for intranet site. The basic theme includes: Several internal departments (Management, IT, Sales, HR ect), tasks by deparment, users groups (by
department) with permissions for each departments, news feed by department ect.
Is their any pre-build option with a simple intranet configuration?
Sometimes it is much easier to configure when using a common simple company structures.
Thank you

Hi,
For SharePoint Online backup and restore, there are basically 4 options:
Use the recycle bin and version history.
Use a 3rd party tool for backup and restore (there are several).
Manually backup sites, lists, and libraries (see:
Information about manual migration of SharePoint Online content and
How to back-up an Office 365 SharePoint Online site and data)
Create an Office 365 support request (see:
Restore options in SharePoint Online)

Office 365 Home Premium (2013) vs Excel Standalone (2013) - Looking for Power Pivot

Hi I have read a few comments here on this site but still have a question about the topic.
I currently have an OEM Office 365 Home Premium with Excel 2013 in it but no power pivot available. My objective is to get Power Pivot. Can anyone advise how can I do that? I installed my Office 365 using Click-To-Run so I don't think this allows me to disable
any specific application e.g. Excel 2013 that's bundled with the rest of Office 365 I purchased.
I heard that Excel 2013 Standalone can be bought and downloaded and it does come with power pivot add in. Is this true? If so can I buy the Excel 2013 standalone then run it side by side with the Office 365 Home Premium I have now installed or
will it clash and have issues when used together ?
MS official sites say you can only get the power pivot as add in if you purchase Office 365 Plus. I'm a bit confused. If that is true does it mean the Excel Standalone has no power pivot available?
Thanks and I'm looking for any seasoned user who can share their experience using Excel 2013 standalones or users with 365 having version 15.0.4649.1001
Thanks - Felix

Hi,
Power Pivot are available in the Office Professional Plus and Office 365 Professional Plus editions, and
in the standalone edition of Excel.
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel-help/start-power-pivot-in-microsoft-excel-2013-add-in-HA102837097.aspx
Then, please note the following thing when you install Office 365 and other Office version side by side.
As you said, Office 365 usually uses Click to Run version(C2R), and Office 2013 MSI on a system with Office 365 (Click to Run) is NOT supported, thus, we need to install the C2R version of Excel 2013 standalone edition.

Unwanted contacts synced with Office 365 and Exchange 2013

I have an issue with unwanted contacts on Mavericks (and formerly Mountain Lion) syncing with our hosted Exchange server on Office 365. The problem began when the Office 365 service upgraded to Exchange 2013. I do not use iCloud at all.
The unwanted contacts are only visible when I click on “All Contacts” within Contacts.app and do not appear in any hosted or local contact group. They are synced to all our macs, but are not visible on anything else, including Outlook.app or OWA, or our iPhones and iPads. Each user with a hosted Exchange account on Office 365 has the same problem, but with a different set of unwanted contacts. Normal contacts behave as expected for each user and device.
The format of the unwanted contacts is simple. They contain nothing but an email address (no name, phone, IM or other details) which leads me to think they are automatically generated recent or suggested contacts, although some of them are quite old. We use Mail.app exclusively on our macs.
I can delete these unwanted contacts one at a time from any of my macs, and although they appear to be deleted on the server (resyncing another mac deletes them there too), they will reappear (resynced from Exchange) within a day or two and they have to be deleted all over again. It is a frustrating and time consuming process.
My questions then:
can I prevent Contacts.app from the syncing these contacts?
or can I prevent Mail.app from presumably sending them to the server in the first place?
or is there a command I can issue through Powershell to tell Exchange to delete and not retain these contacts?
Any other suggestions to prevent this behaviour would be most welcome.

I'm having this exact same issue.
Have you seen this thread? https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5252673?start=45&tstart=0
I'm on Exchange 2013, which I manage, and Mavericks. I also noticed you can see a "Linked Contact" on OWA 2013.
This is just more of the extremely poor Apple software engineering we have seen over the last few years...

Syncronization problem using Office 365 with Outlook 2013

Hi
I have a problem with my Outlook 2013.
On my Office computer, I am using a Mac Computer and I have my gail account on it.
On my Laptop I have Windows 8.1 and Office 2013.
I have my POP account configured and I am able to send and receive e-mail, but when I delete an e-mail
on my Mac it won`t delete it on my Outlook 2013...
Any Ideas?
Thank you!
Moriyas

Hi Moriyas,
George is right. POP accounts do not allow Outlook to sync with the mail server. In this case, if you deleted a message from one of your devices, this update/change will not get sync'd to your mail server, hence all other devices with the same
account configured will have no chance to get the updates.
If it is possible (if your ISP support IMAP also), you might consider switching to IMAP configuration, which is the better choice for those who frequently use multiple devices to work with their email.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to enable/disable the custom ribbon button accordingly.
We can use the EnabledScript attributes to achieve this scenario.
The EnabledScript attribute of the CommandUIHandler that will enable or disable the button depending on whether the function returns true or false.
There are some articles about this topic, you can refer to them.

Office 365 API

Can we integrate Office 365 API's directly in Visual Studio 2012 ? Also if we integrate is it possible to customize the Mailboxes, Calendar etc.. and also can apply our own styles ?
Thanks

Usually when people say API they are talking about server side code, which is not allowed in Office 365. So in that sense no you can't use the Office 365 APIs. You can use the new client side object model from Visual Sudio 2012. Take a
look at the following site for an Introduction to Development for Office 365 and SharePoint 2013.

Visual Studio Community 2013 on Windows 8.1 pro - how can I develop for Sharepoint (Office 365)?

Hello everybody from Italy.
As stated on the subject, I'd like to develop some solutions for my Office 365's SharePoint site.
I'm absolutely new to Visual Studio usage, too :-)
I downloaded and installed VS Community 2013 and SharePoint 2013 SDK (along with ... but still no luck, VS keeps saying that I need to have SharePoint installed locally in order to develop solutions for SharePoint.
What now?
F. Simonetti - UNIX Sysadmin - Sharepoint learner

Ok, I managed to:
remove the "somewhat offending" custom list (I'll add it later after realizing what I was doing wrong)
create one custom list without any specific feature (I called it List1)
create another list based on Contacts, kept absolutely default (called List2)
build&deploy the app
Ok, now the "app" is there (on my devel environment), doing absolutely nothing (because I didn't create any form or page or whatever). But I have a Contact list! I should be able to sync it to Outlook desktop!
This page helped me to understand how I can reach the list created inside the app (https://devtenant.sharepoint.com/AppName/Lists/List2)
... but I had a bad surprise: no option to sync the Contact list with my Outlook desktop application. This remains true even after having activated the "Offline Synchronization for External Lists" feature inside Site Settings/Site Features menu.
So, the Contact-like list inside the app has lost about 80% of interest... not being able to sync it with Outlook is a severe limitation. I'm assuming that every list created inside an app will suffer of the same problem, is it true?
By the way, how I'm supposed, after having eventually finished my work on the app, to install it on the "real" work environment, that is completely unrelated to the development site (being the "work" site a mere "Business
Premium" Subscription)?
I tried to deploy the app to the "non devel" site with no luck: VS says that the destination site is not configured for sideloading apps.
Many thanks in advance, Ashish.

Office 365 BI vs. SharePoint 2013 on premise BI - are new updates going to O365 only/first?

With some of the more recent blog posts I've seen there seems to be talk of a trend where new fixes/changes/enhancements to PowerView/Power BI, etc... are going to happen in Office 365 but may not be happening for SharePoint on premise.
Does anyone have any more details on this or have they heard similar?
I've seen the Power BI blog talking about new releases and enhancements each month, which I assume SharePoint PowerView is not getting those enhancements?

Thank you that does help clear up a few things.
However, I still don't fully understand some of the "duplication" of things?
For example:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel-help/power-view-explore-visualize-and-present-your-data-HA102835634.aspx?CTT=5&origin=HA104103581
That talks about Power BI :
"Power View has new features, as part of Power BI for Office 365:
Create Power View sheets in Excel and then view them in the Power BI Windows Store app.
View Power View in Excel sheets in your browser, without installing Silverlight. Read about the supported features of the HTML5 version of Power View.
Read the Power BI Getting Started Guide."
Will those same new features be in those bi-monthly SQL Server CU releases?
(that may not be the best example, but on the Power BI blog they talk about various new features/enhancements, etc...)
Perhaps I am just confused by the shared name of Power View in Office 365 and SharePoint?
