Had my PC rebuilt due to a sign in issue with Azure. Ever since, I have been unable to sync a sharepoint site which is the main one I work in.
I go to the site contents folder online, select the main docuement library and click Sync on the top bar as shown below:
And every time, for this particular folder, I get this issue:
Other people are using and syncing this folder in exactly the same way without any problem. I can also sync any other folder without a problem, there is only this one important folder that seems impossible to sync. I can't create a new document library very easily as this will affect everyone. Any thoughts how to fix this?
Oh yeah and I've got the latest version of onedrive installed. In fact, when I click on that link, it takes me to an older version of onedrive which won't install as I've got a newer version.
Sometimes, the Microsoft Office Upload Center may affect the OneDrive for Business syncing with SharePoint library, it also may stop the SharePoint sync from progressing.
Try clearing cached files from Upload Center.
I have a spreadsheet shared on OneDrive that I maintain, which contains VBA code so it must be opened in the Desktop version. Whenever I open it directly (not through OneDrive) after updates have been made, I get the "Server File Updated A newer version is available" message.
Many of the users of this spreadsheet have it open for days on end, and therefore do not see the updates until they close and re-open it.
I am wondering if it is possible to implement some code that periodically checks OneDrive whether a newer version is available and trigger the "Server File Updated A newer version is available" pop-up, or at least force a close and reload of the spreadsheet.
This would be a great help for many reasons. Excel certainly does it well enough when I open the file, but I cannot find any way of re-triggering this check.
I hope that makes sense and a simple solution is available.
Darren :)
Solution
Open the windows application Office Upload Center (you can type this in the Windows 10 search to locate it.
Select Settings
Check mark Delete files from the Office Document Cache when they are closed.
This will stop this error happening in the future.
Click Delete cached files to correct the error for the current instance.
1) Search "Upload Center" in Windows 7
2) Upload Center => Settings => Check the box "Deleted files from office document cache when they are closed" and click "Delete Cached files
I have tried from my office it show available download site. Then I used same installer (setup-x86_64.exe) at home it not show anything. Both my pc (office and home) i set up google dns. Is it because im using wireless connection at home? Please advise. Thank you.
I had the same issue. i changed my setting in "Select Your Internet Connection" to "Use Internet Explorer Proxy" instead of "Direct Connection".It worked like a charm. I guess the issue is due to the proxy layer at work.
Just go to website
https://cygwin.com/mirrors.html
Chose the mirror web address nearest to you by clicking right and select the option "SAVE LINK ADDRESS" from the menu.
Paste it into the "USER URL" then click "ADD" and press "NEXT". Hope it will work. Good Luck.......!
I just met the same problems. At the very beginning, I chose the first option which is directly connect, but I can not get any downloading websites as the image showed above. Then I tried to back and chose the second one which is select your internet collection, the same result is displayed on the screen.
The solution is that we have to restart the installer and directly choose the second option. If you still don't get any websites, please be patient, try one more but still need to restart the installer. I just tried three times, maybe four times, which I can not remember, but it worked finally.
Hoped that can help you guys.
Had the same error today, my solution was to :
move the setup-x86_64.exe out of the Download folder into e.g. c:\tmp
i think the cygwin setup process has some problems with creating a temporary file in the same directory of its installer due to a lack of permissions and does not show an error message
The solution for me was enabling TLS 1.2 support in Internet Properties. But hold on! You'd better update your Windows before, because there is an update that enables support for this protocol by default. If you don't want to update your Windows, for reasons, follow these steps:
Go to Internet Properties, you can find this in start menu, in control panel, or hit Win + R and run: Inetcpl.cpl.
Go to "Advanced" tab.
Scroll to "Security" section.
Check Use TLS 1.2 option.
Run Cygwin installer again and now it should work. If not, maybe try with other security options.
How did I find out this
After a few failed install attempts, I decided to look for some hints in Event Viewer, and to my surprise, I found them. In System logs I spot lots of errors from Schannel service with a meaningless description:
The following fatal alert was received: 70.
I Googled for further explanations. Errors like these are caused by SSL failures, so something wrong was happening between Cygwin installer and Cygwin site. Something in my head told me to check Internet Properties for options relating to security, so I did and I found disabled protocols.
Step1: select use internet setting.
Step2: "http://cygwin.refractal.net/" add this URL.
This works for me.
Also, https://cygwin.com/mirrors.lst has several alternate URL's, depending upon the request location (your location).
I do not have admin privileges on this windows 10 host, but this worked:
setup-x86_64.exe -B -O -s http://mirror.clarkson.edu/cygwin
which allowed me to install cygwin from that one mirror site.
Do you have K9 filter installed by any chance ? I have the same problem posted, but I do know my issue is the K9 filter.
Add one of the site in http://cygwin.com/mirrors.lst manually
and select one of the internet connection type which is appropriate for your internet connection. and proceed...it worked for me
i found a solution to this problem:
first, go to https://cygwin.com/mirrors.html , look for your location and click onto the FTP link.
Then, you should see 4 folders:
noarch,
unsupported,
x86,
x86_64
click on "go back" or something like this (go back 1 folder).
Then you should see a many folders. Search the"cygwin" folder and simply drag it to your desktop. Now you should have a shortcut to this FTP Folder. Now, right-click the shortcut and click onto "properties" and copy the URL.
Now, you can open the installation program.
Click on "Install from Internet",
All Users / Just Me (your choice),
Use System Proxy Settings.
Now you will get an error message (if you already got that error, it wont show up again). Ignore the error and it will ask you for "available Download Sites".
Paste the URL from the shortcut into the "User URL" and click on "add".
Then, a "Select Package" Window will show up. click on "all" and then on "next".
Finished!
(Im using firefox and windows 7 32bit VM VB)
Now some guys will ask: Why didnt you just put the ftp link directly into the setup?
Well, i tried that and setup crashed on me every single time. With the shortcut it worked fine.
I hope this will help. (my english skills are trash, i know)
"Run as administrator" did the trick for me ....
(Win 7) If run without the list is blank, for whatever reason admin privileges are needed for the mirror list to load.
In Select Connection Type Page, Select Direct Connection and click Next
User URL text box ftp://cygwin.mirrors.pair.com and Click Add
Select the same URL from Available Download Sites list and proceed Next.
It worked for me.
I had the same issue. Disabling kaspersky solved it. There are a list of programs known to interfere with cygwin functionality. Please find the list here here(4.44)
Solution
Put one of mirrors to the URL window of installer.
If list of mirror urls is not available, use the below link to get list of
mirror urls
Also here is working mirror url
A silly problem-solution with the same symptoms, sharing for future reference - I was using an old installer, downloading the latest version fixed this immediately
You Should try adding this site
it is working for me.
Japan: ftp.iij.ad.jp(ftp), ftp.jaist.ac.jp(ftp), ftp.yz.yamagata-u.ac.jp(ftp), ftp.iij.ad.jp(http), ftp.jaist.ac.jp(http), ftp.yz.yamagata-u.ac.jp(http)
We have been stuck on using Internet Explorer in my company for one single reason: when you click on a sharepoint link to a Document in IE, it opens the file as editable. So when you save it, it is automatically saved on the server.
On the other hand, with Chrome or other browsers, it downloads a copy of this file, so the user might loose changes because he thinks the file is saved on the server whereas really it is not...
Anyone thinks of a solution for that?
Thanks !
There is a similar resolved question to yours right here:
How to open SharePoint files in Chrome/Firefox
give it a shot!
So we couldn't open .pdf in the browser in our SP2010 site. I set the setting to permissive browser file handling in central admin. I then found out that there's a bug that if a site is created from a custom template the pdf files uploaded to that site will still prompt for either Save or Cancel. I ran a hotfix on the server
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2459108
Consider the following scenario:
You set Browser File Handling to Permissive for a web application in the General settings page in SharePoint 2010 Central Administration.
You create a document library, and then upload an html document.
You open the html document in the browser.
Note You are not prompted to download the html document and it is rendered in the browser.
You select to include the content when you save the SharePoint site as a template.
You use the template to create a new SharePoint site in the same web application.
In this scenario, the Browser File Handling list setting for the document library in the new site is set to Strict. Additionally, when you open the html document, you are prompted to download the file.
Now when I click on a pdf with firefox I can open it directly but with internet explorer (8 and 9, default settings) I still can't do it, what's the solution here?
Edit: Maybe it always worked in firefox, anyway, when I create a new library it works as expected. How can I run this setting on all libraries?
There's a different, more subtle, but simpler root cause of this problem.
After much web searching and many hours with MSFT support, as hard as this may be to believe, it turns out that the root cause of my "SharePoint won't open PDF documents" problem was actually an Adobe extension/add-on. The symptom was an Adobe error msg "failed to open" after clicking the PDF list item in a document library. The culprit, an Adobe extension/add-on: "Adobe Acrobat SharePoint OpenDocuments Component".
I do not know how this got installed. What I do (finally) know is that this component actually does the exact opposite of what its name implies, i.e., it apparently prevents PDF documents from opening up when clicked in a SharePoint 2010 document library.
After various failed attempts to solve this problem (including changing "Browser File Handler" settings on the web app server from "Strict" to "Permissive" and other fixes suggested below and elsewhere on various blogs and web sites), nothing fixed the problem until we disabled this Adobe extension/add-on. Then, problem solved.
Note that you may not see this component in the "Tools > Manage Add-Ons" list until after attempting to open a PDF document from the library: apparently the add-on isn't activated (won't appear in that list) until an 'open' attempt is made. SO - if at first you don't see the component listed, try to open a PDF file and check the list again. If this component appears, disable it, and your problem is likely to go away.
Baffling, at best; or worse, actually nefarious on Adobe's part ...?
I'd still like to know how to get the PDF to open in a separate browser tab in IE vs. displacing the active tab. If anyone can help with that, please let me know! No custom coding solutions, PLEASE!
There is a better way to handle "Browser File Handle" issue. Take a look at my blog here: http://www.pdfsharepoint.com/sharepoint-2010-and-pdf-integration-series-part-1/
Solution #2 addresses Pdf extension without exposing entire Web Application to "Permissive" browsing. Setting "Browsing File Handle" to "permissive" opens too many vulnerabilities with other file extensions.
Thanks,
Dmitry
I have the same problem - originally installed Office Web apps, then turned that off, turned on the open in client application, then changed the setting on each doc library to open in browser .. Still have a problem with PDFs though.
If somebody includes a link to them in an announcement, then that person can open, other not. But only in IE - in FF there is no problme
Just change the Browser File Handling for the Web Application from the central admin as:
Central Administration > Application Management > Manage Web Applications
go to your Web Application example "http://sharepoint:80, just select it
from the top ribbon click "General Settings"
go down to "Browser File Handling" and change it to "Permissive"
If am not clear go to http://www.pdfsharepoint.com/sharepoint-2010-and-pdf-integration-series-part-1/
try this:
Make sure you're the site collection admin. Go into the site (not the central admin) and then go to site settings then go to site collection features. In there you will find the setting for " Open Documents in Client Applications by Default " it will probably be deactivated. Active it and you're good to go. users will then open attachments in their windows assigned applications, not the sharepoint web apps.
Also, try going into adobe reader and in the settings there is an option to open with the browser. check or uncheck it based on what you want it to do.
Encryption and SharePoint don't play well together
Right click My Documents or source folder
Select Properties > Advanced (button)
Uncheck "Encrypt contents to secure data"
This should solve many SharePoint problems you might have, including files not opening properly.
Appreciate this is an old post but still very relevant today. I spent a while trying to get this to work - just thought I'd share my findings.
This is specific to Adobe Acrobat. If you use a different PDF viewer, such as SumatraPDF the issue does not occur.
1. To prevent the 'Open, Save, Save As' dialog box in Internet Explorer:
This is specific to the versions of Acrobat. Set the following key/value:
Key: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\*acrobat_version_number*\FeatureLockDown\cSharePoint
Value Name: bDisableSharePointFeatures
Value Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 0x1 (hex)
e.g.
For Acrobat X:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\11.0\FeatureLockDown\cSharePoint
2. To disable PDFs opening in the browser
This is specific to the versions of Acrobat. Set the following key/value:
Key: HKCU\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\acrobat_version_number\Originals
Value Name: bBrowserIntegration
Value Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 0x0 (hex)
e.g.
For Acrobat X:
HKCU\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\11.0\Originals
