Unable to edit or set masterpage in SP2010 site (migrated from wss 3.0) - sharepoint-2010

I just migrated sharepoint site from wss 3.0 to SP2010 foundation.
The site is not rendering while the "lists" are visible. I want to open and edit the masterpage for the site first.
Opened site using Sharepoint designer 2010 and tried to open masterpage but kept on saying "master page editing disabled for the site. contact ...".
I am the site collection admin, farm admin etc and have all privileges.
Went to central admin, and SPD settings, switched to the web-application and everything was already ticked and I ticked again and saved. Did IISRESET as well.
I opened the URL
http://f2010:81/_catalogs/masterpage/Forms/AllItems.aspx
and it showed me all masterpages. Default.master has value of "3" in compatible UI versions while minial and v4.master have 4.
I can't open the default.master (or any masterpage including v4) from here. I can't even set any masterpage as default.
Below URL gives me 'unexpected error'.

Please suggest

TFS2015 Document library- open file instead of download

when i am trying to view files from my TFS document library it's download the file instead of opening it automatic with excel OR word that are already installed on my pc, does someone know how to fix it?
i am using office365 and TFS2015 as you can see at the screenshot that attached this is how it's look like in PC that working fine.
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.

Opening Office Web Apps Documents in Browser - 'view in browser' doesn't work but 'edit in browser' does

I installed Office Web Apps SP2 on our SharePoint 2010 farm this past weekend. I've observed that the service applications have been created and I've activated the feature at the site collection level. The word viewing service is started on all my WFE machines. When I access word documents from a library by clicking them or saying "view in browser", the site brings me to a blank document. No errors. I just get a blank document with a very basic ribbon that belongs to Word with buttons on it for 'file', 'open in word' and 'edit in browser'. However, if I hit "Edit in Browser", the site displays the document.
I'm not finding much interesting in the Sharepoint logs, even with OWA logging turned up to verbose. Excel documents come up fine in the browser without such a procedure.
I had no such issue when I installed office web apps in our TEST SP2010 farm.
Any ideas what I can look at next?
The powerpoint and word reader service applications had not been created as expected by the setup. Creating these solved our problem immediately.

First Time Trying to Edit a SharePoint File

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:

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.

Security notification bar

I need to add a web reference in Visual Studio 2012 (because service reference generates a blank reference CS and I have given up after hours of googling).
When I go to add the web reference (add service reference → advanced → add web reference) and enter the WSDL URL I get the IE Notification Bar in the dialog with the message:
To help protect your security, your web browser has blocked this site from downloading files to your computer. The option to "Download file" does not work.
I've changed IE security settings to minimum and added the domain to the list of trusted sites but did not have any effect. I also uninstalled IE10 completely and still get the notification bar. I am using Windows 8.
Anyone shed any light on this or had any success adding a web reference in VS 2012?
If you can download the WSDL with your browser, download it and save it to a file. You can then reference it from Visual Studio by pointing it to that file. Or you can use svcutil.exe or wsdl.exe to generate a proxy from the commandline.

Edit a sharepoint list form with infopath 2010

LS,
I'm trying to open an sharepoint 2010 list with InfoPath 2010 but when I try this I get the following errormessage: "this feature requires sharepoint server 2010 or greater with infopath forms services enabled". Strangely everything works if I create an empty form with InfoPath, it even publishes to SP2010. My current license is "SharePoint Server with Enterprise Client Access License" so it should work.
Thanx in advance
Can you enable the "SharePoint Server Enterprise Site Collection features" in the Site Collection features.
Did you happen to upgrade the farm from Sharepoint Standard to Enterprise?
Make sure that the InfoPath Forms Services are enabled, as the following post suggests:
Infopath 2010 Beta Sharepoint List
I had this same problem. Enterprise features were enabled, InfoPath Forms Services was setup correctly, etc...
What fixed my problem was navigating to the site collection, selecting "Site Settings" from the Site Actions dropdown, Navigating to "Manage site features" under the Site Actions section, then disabling and then re-enabling "SharePoint Server Enterprise Site features".
Tons information about this error, but all the fixes were already done on my setup, just needed to remind the collection it really did have these features enabled...
