Recently our client complained quick launch is missing. The quick launch menu in sites is temperamental. sometimes it appears and works fine, other times it completely disappears. I checked the site settings, master page, Timer jobs everything is working fine.
Any help is much appreciated.
If the Quick Launch menu is missing from specific pages then the problem is likely due to the page layout, which can be changed on Publishing Sites or site with the Publishing Feature enabled. To do so, edit the page and then select a new page layout from the Page tab of the ribbon. Here is an article with more information:

If the left nav is missing from an entire site collection, it may be turned off. Use one of the following procedures to enable the quick launch:
To display the Quick Launch menu using the SharePoint 2010 web interface, follow these steps:
Navigate to Site Actions, Site Settings, Tree View (under Look and Feel).
Select the Enable Quick Launch check box and click OK
To display the Quick Launch menu using SharePoint Designer 2010, follow these steps:
Open the designer by clicking All Programs on the Start menu, selecting SharePoint, and clicking Microsoft SharePoint Designer 2010.
In the Recent Sites section, select the site to which you want to add the Quick Launch menu. (If this is your first time opening SharePoint Designer, you won't see any sites listed in the Recent Sites section. In this case, click the Open Site button. In the Open Site dialog box, enter the URL to your SharePoint site and click Open.)
Once you’re in the site, click Home (under Site Objects) in the left navigation pane. In the Settings section, select the Display Quick Launch check box.
Click Save.

This kind of issue may related to your IE security setting, try to add the related sharepoint site in trust site and try again:
Close your browser (if you don't and you have your SharePoint site up you'll get a bunch of script errors because of the change to access
levels).
Go to your Control Panel
Open Internet Properties
Select the Security tab.
Select Trusted Sites
Click Sites, and add the URL for your SharePoint site.
More details please refer this similar issue: "Some files can harm your computer" dialog when I open a file from the document library
If the warning dialog is disappear, but when you open file still download. Then that behavior maybe defined by your browser. Try some other browser such as IE/Chrome/FireFox. Double check the integration/link of your browser and Word,Excel.
I am designing the 8th update to my tabbed vb web browser (found at swordfish.savershot.net)in VB Express 08 and I'm having trouble with something. Whenever a webpage wants to open a link in a new tab (aka: Google Drive New Document), Internet Explorer turns on and runs the tab through them. I understand how it happens, because VB.NET by default uses IE as their Web Browsing core. However, I do not like it and I would love to be able to set those links to either open in a new tab in my browser or a new window in my browser. I have found a way to cancel the operation altogether but that's not very user friendly and I'd love to get my browser to a level where I can actually use it comfortably without annoying issues occurring. Thanks for the help.
This is my first time trying to edit a sharepoint file. It is used as a list of links in an iframe on a web site on another server. But this has nothing to do with the problem. I have been asked to modify the list of links and I just want to get to it and do it. But however one does this, it does not seem very intuative to me.
Let me tell you the steps I have taken and how things go wrong and maybe I can get some advice. The sharepoint file is on a server that I log into remotely. I run the "Sharepoint 2010 Central Administration". On the page that comes up, I click on "Manage web applications" under "Application Management".
From there, I see the page I want to edit. But when I click on the name of the item (which appears in red text) the area is hilighted but nothing happens. In the ribbon menu at the top of the page there is a drop down entitled "Site Actions" but there is no option there to "edit". Please advice.
I was given a username and password to "log in" because I was told I need that. The idea was that maybe I need a special admin account to see the missing menu options to edit a page. But at first I could not use it to log on to the server where the sharepoint system is. Then I found that I could try to use it to log onto the "Sharepoint 2010 Central Administration" program. But this did not work.
Then I tried to see if there was anything I could so from the desktop computer. I found "Microsoft SharePoint Workspace 2010"
I tried this and it looked promising"

But then eventhough I could see the file name, I could not edit the file:
http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h292/Athono/SSO/SSO4_zpsca7d0f71.jpg
I went back to the server and tried a few other things. I tried to switch my account in the Central Adminstration to this special account that someone suggested had more privledges but it did not work. The error said "Error: Access Denied". I tried putting the web page in the address bar and that just brought up the page without any way of editing it.
Please advise.
Central Administration is not meant for content editting. That is the core of SharePoint with all kind of configuration options.
You have to create a web application for content editting and create a site collection there. In that site collection you can edit the page, add webparts, etc. In your case you can try a Publishing Portal template for your site collection and add a content editor webpart. In that content editor webpart you can put HTML for your iframe.
We have a created a subsite to the SharePoint 2010 Mysite (used blank site) called "home". This site uses the mysite.master master page. The problem is the top link (navigation) bar from MySite is not showing up on the subsite... Any ideas?
If I open the home site in Share Point Designer - the navigation bar does show up... But not in the browser...
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

We ran into this too. I believe this is a product bug. At any rate, the problem has to do with the MySiteNavigation feature not being activated on the site. Unfortunately, this feature doesn't show up within the list of features on the site (ManageFeatures.aspx). You have to programmatically activate the feature. I believe you can do this with the Enable-SPFeature cmdlet.
As a work around we are contemplating creating an event receiver to activate this feature for all sub sites of a my site.
I imported a website made in visual studio express 2008 to visual studio express 2010. When I run the home page I get the following error:
"It is an error to use a section registered as allowDefinition='MachineToApplication' beyond application level. This error can be caused by a virtual directory not being configured as an application in IIS."
When I looked up the meaning of this on Google I read their needed to be a change to the configuration of the virtual directory. Another suggestion was to change the web config files . T
Were these suggestions correct? If so how do I emplement them so that I can view these website pages on my local machine.
To try the first suggestion:
Right-Click MY_COMPUTER, choose MANAGE.
Expand the SERVICES (then IIS) section(s) in the left-hand pane until you can see the directory containing the "home page"
Right-Click that folder and Choose PROPERTIES.
Click the "Create Application" button.
================================ EDIT ADDED after I realized I could edit an answer
No, you can't create an app using the WINDOWS EXPLORER...
So... here's a more descriptive instruction:
Once you've expanded "Services and Apps" the left hand pane should contain (at least) "Services", Indexing Service, and "Internet Information Services."
Click the "+" to the left of "Internet Information Services" and that action should expose (at least) "Web Sites", Again click the "+" to expose (at least) "Default Web Site."
Once more click the "+" to the left of Default, to expose the Virtual Directories.
Hopefully you will find the FOLDER in question (containing your 'Home Page'). Right-click it, choose PROPERTIES, and see the "Create Application" on the "Directory" tab of the window that pops up.
////////////////////////////////\
If You Do Not See your folder in that final list, it is because there is no virtual directory pointing to the My Documents folder that contains your web site (and home page.)
To create a virtual directory, right-click on that DEFAULT WEB SITE (now visible in the left hand pane) Click "New.." and choose "Virtual Directory." Follow the directions offered in the popup window ... i.e. Browse to your folder, etc.
Too bad StackOverflow does not offer the ability for me to add pictures.
If you still have trouble, I can create a set of screen shots for you and put a link to it in another response.
Did the directory tree get jacked up on import? I've gotten this when for whatever reason, I end up with two web.configs in the directories of the project.
