What's New Web Part will not show updates from Team Discussion Web Part

I have a Team Discussion Web Part which I want to show in the "What's New" updates Web Part. I have indexed the "modified" column of the team discussion and added it as a target list for the What's new Web Part, however updates to the Team
Discussion are not showing up in the What's New Web Part.
If I happen to tell the What's New web part to "use the below person column as a filter" and choose "Modified By", the page will crash with an error stating that the What's New web part caused the failure.
Any suggestions?

Hi KinsDotNet,
According to your description, I could reproduce this issue.
The following alternative solution consists in using the " Team Discussion " web part (with a customized view) in place of the " What's New " web part.
Alternative solution steps:
1. Create an index on the “ Modified ” field of the “ Team Discussion ” library in the Site Collection page in which “ What’s New ” web part’s functionality is needed
2. Insert a “ Team Discussion ” web part in the same page and position where the “ What’s New ” web part was intended to be situated, or wherever it is needed
3. Click on the “ Save & Close ” icon to save the page with the new “ Team Discussion ” web part
4. Click on the “ Edit Web Part ” option in the  “ Team Discussion ” web part’s context-menu and click on the “ Edit the current view ” link inside the “ List Views ” section of the web part’s settings box
5. Choose the desired display columns in the “ Columns ” section
6. Set the “ Sort ” and “ Filter ” sections settings according to the following screenshot:
7. In Step 6 , likely two identical “ Modified By ” options will be seen inside the “ Filter ” section’s “ when column ” drop-down.
 Selecting the second of these two “ Modified By ” options will likely cause the “ Team Discussion ” web part to not  work properly, so please make sure to select the first “ Modified By ” option. If, in the unlikely case, after  selecting the
first “ Modified By ” option the “ Team Discussion ” web part does not render properly, go back and  select the second “ Modified By ” option and the web part should render properly
8. In the “ Item Limit ” section, set the “ Number of items to display ” to the maximal amount of items you would like to be displayed inside the web part (for example:  5 )
9. Click the "OK" to save the settings

  • New IPod Touch will not show up on iTunes

    Hello,
    I just purchased an iPod Touch for my son. When we turned it on, it asked to connect to iTunes. I then started iTunes and was told to update it, which I did, after which I connected the IPod. iTunes would not recognize the iPod Touch. We then uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, with the same problem. So effectively I now have a new iPod Touch in the first phase of getting it to work.
    I've checked the drivers, and they are fine
    I've checked the Apple services and they are running fine
    I've shut down nearly all programs that commence on startup, and the iPod will still not show up
    I've used all USB ports on my computer, still no response.
    I've rebooted the computer numerous times, it still does not show up.
    Thanks in advance for any advise that you can give.
    Is there a known problem with Vista???

  • New mail messages will not show on my iPhone until I open mail...

    I am on the 1st gen iPhone and no new mail will show up from the home screen (with the little red bubble) until mail is actually opened, and then it checks for mail. For some reason it will not automatically check. Very annoying.
    I did a reset by holding the home and top button. No changes. I then restored it. No changes. I am at a loss. Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thank you!

    No, I know for fact that it should check or "fetch" every 15 minutes to see if there is any new mail on all accounts that are not pushed. If they are pushed it should be more immediate.

  • 2013 new Mac Pro will not boot up from and external hard drive

    New 2013 MAC PRO running Yosemite will not not see a bootable external hard drive when starting up using option key?  Same External hard drive will boot up on 2013 Mac Book Pro running Yosemite.

    Reading between tea leaves sometimes leaves some things to imagination.
    You used SuperDuper latest version that was recently upgraded for Yosemite on a laptop running 10.10 (or even 10.9.3+) that is in a X-brand USB3 drive enclosure, not bus powered btw, moved it to the nMP and plugged it into a direct port, not going through a hub (monitors have hubs of course and there is only one real bus+controller on the nMP that ALL USB3 travels through.
    Thunderbolt and self-powered would be nice but they cost a bit more.
    I have read where Carbon Copy Cloner (now v 4.x) worked where others failed. I use to use both but have used CCC since its inception and use back in 10.2.2 forward along with SD! for a few years based on comments here.
    Drivers missing? someone compared system extensions and found the ones needed for say the nMP are not there? how about running a 10.10.1 combo update and see if that changes - we USE to be able to apply updates to a system that we were not booted from, very handy (could update a sparse disk image of a system that way, one created with CCC).
    WD Passports seem popular with laptop users, but they come here to this forum complaining that it doesn't work, disappears off the bus (spins down goes to sleep, acts like a green drive acts).

  • Iphoto will not install update from 9.3.2 to 9.4.2

    I have a new MacMini. Just ran updates per the App Store. iPhoto '11 will not update from 9.3.2 to 9.4.2. I've JUST gotten this Mac, and I don't have any photos loaded at all. None. I click on "Update" in App Store, and it reports "An error has occured" (LOVE the passive voice...the error just 'occured' - nobody's fault...move along...nothing to see here).
    The only thing I haven't tried is deleting iPhoto and reinstalling it. Is that my only/best option?
    Thanks!

  • Updater will not install updates from Firefox

    Windows XP, click on Help, About Firefox, Check for updates. They download. Then I click on Apply update. A window appears saying "updater.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close." Then I may choose whether to send the error report.
    There has been no update. It will not install.
    Why does this happen? The only way I can get updates from Firefox is to go to Mozilla.com and download.
    I tried the troubleshooting tips in Firefox Help and nothing worked.

    I should have explained that this has been going on for a long time. When I first installed Firefox several years ago their updates installed fine.
    Then they no longer would install, starting in July 2007 when they downloaded Firefox 2.0.0.4. After they installed that, Firefox would not even open, and I got an error message. I had to uninstall and reinstall.
    I figured out over time that I would have to go to their website and download the updates myself, each time they announced that an update needed to be installed. It would then install fine. And Firefox would open as it should. This has been the case for a long time.
    So it does work out doing it this way. It is something of a nuisance, and it would be nice if the updates worked smoothly and automatically, as they used to.
    I thought this might be some problem others users have had and would know how to fix it.
    Thank you.

  • My new flash drive will not show up on my macbook pro?

    It's really strange because I know my usb ports are working, the flash drive works perfectly fine on the mac desktops at my school and if I open up system profile it shows that it's plugged in! But it won't show up anywhere for me to actually access it! Not on my desktop, not in my finder, I've tried searching for it and checked to make sure I have my finder settings checked to show external drives on the desktop and in the sidebar in finder windows. I checked on one of the desktops and it is formated as...FAT 32 bit I think? something like that. I've also restarted a couple times already and plugged and unplugged it a few times to try and get it to work. The last time I  plugged in someone else' flash it showed up too so I don't know why this one won't show up, I've looked everywhere to figure out why it might not be working, but I need it to work so I can get my school work off my school computer before the end of the semester!
    If anyone can give me some suggestions or help I would really appreciate it!
    P.S. This is what my system profiler shows for it:
    USB FLASH DRIVE:
      Product ID: 0xb107
      Vendor ID: 0x03f0  (Hewlett Packard)
      Version: 40.96
      Serial Number: AA1B132C00000354
      Speed: Up to 480 Mb/sec
      Manufacturer: HP
      Location ID: 0xfd130000 / 5
      Current Available (mA): 500
      Current Required (mA): 200

    Press the Repair Disk button. If it doesn't find any issues or repairs those it finds, press Mount.
    If it finds issues that it can't fix, run a more powerful utility such as DiskWarrior or a data recovery product on it.

  • Will Not Show Updates

    In iTunes, It says I have 5 applications updates but when I click on the arrow, it tells me I have no updates available. What's the problem? I only have one account.

    I finally figured out what the issue is.
    On iTunes, I found in my list of apps a few apps that I had deleted on my phone but these deletions did not synchronize properly with the computer. Look closely at your list and find the apps that are no longer on the phone but somehow are still on iTunes despite syncing.
    It seems iTunes is still looking for updated for these old apps and when any are available they appear as "Available Updates". iTunes is drawing its update query from this list. But then when you click on the updates button, none appear because iTunes also seems to know that these apps are no longer on your phone.
    In other words: this is a bug. For whatever reason Apple has not bothered to fix this for months now.
    Solution: Go one and by one and delete on iTunes the ones you no longer have. Presto!

  • IMac will not allow update from Snow Leopard 10.6.3 to 10.6.8

    I am having trouble updating to 10.6.8 from Snow Leopard 10.6.3.
    After down loading the update it goes to load it and then crashes saying it struck a problem.

    The startup disk may need repairing.
    Launch Disk Utility located in /Applications/Utilities to verify and if necessary, repair the startup disk.
    Using Disk Utility to verify or repair disks
    Make sure there's enough free space on the startup disk.
    Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure you always have a minimum of 15% free disk space.

  • My new mac book air will not show old emails.  how can i fix this problem

    my new mac book air will not show old emails.  how can i fix this problem

    The answer depends on a number of factors, such as the following:
    If you have more than one email account, does this problem affect one, some, or all of your accounts?
    Where did you last see this mail -- in your Inbox(es)? in some other folder(s) outside your Inbox(es)? somewhere else?
    How old is the missing email -- yesterday? just before you got the new computer? over a week? over a month? over a year?
    How are you reading email -- with the builtin Mail application? with some other mail-reading application? with a web browser?
    How do you access your email on the server -- IMAP? POP? Exchange? web browser? other?
    What version of OS X is on your new computer -- Mavericks (10.9.x)? Mountain Lion (10.8.x)?
    Did you migrate your data and applications from your old computer when you set up your new computer?
    For example, if the missing mail is the mail that was in your Inbox before you got the new computer, you are reading it with the builtin Mail via POP, and you failed to migrate data, then the mail was left behind on the old computer. The same would be true if the mail was in "On My Mac" mailboxes and you failed to migrate data.

  • ITunes will not show my purchases before October 18, when I had a different username.  How do I get the older purchases (more than 5,000) listed when my password is rejected and it won't issue a new one for that username?

    iTunes will not show my purchases before October 18, when I had a different username.  How do I get the older purchases (more than 5,000) listed when my password is rejected and it won't issue a new one for that username?

    Wow that was really quick, thank you so much.  Im not sure at all which version it was because i said it was around 4 years ago he bought it.  I know it isn't under his username, since he's a PC person (ugh) so i know its probably registered to one of our actual names.  isn't there some way to look it up since we did register it, because I'm not even sure where the disks are from when we bought it (we've moved a lot and also have two storage lockers, i know i would have kept it with other disks) but my cd rom drive is actually broken on my computer as well ( i think it got stepped on and is now squished and won't eject or run disks.)
    So is there anyway they can look up that its registered to one of our names since we did register it when we bought and installed it, or do i really have to find the disk with some sort of proof of purchase (i know there would be no receipt after all this time)
    either way, ill do what you suggested to the best of my abilities and thank you so much for answering my questions, i can't even open the program as its incompatible and find out the info from that) so I'm in a bit of a pickle and your response was so thorough and it didn't seem to be posted long enough to even write a well researched response, thanks, all the best,
