Creating web application in SharePoint 2010 - sharepoint-2010

I have installed SharePoint 2010 and i am trying to move the first steps in it
But i´m not able to create a simple web application
I opee the Central Administration, then select "Manage web application" under the Application Management menu
The first button in the ribbon is "New" (meaning new web application obviously), but is grey and unclickable. If i place the mouse over there it says that the control is currently disabled, because i haven´t the right permission level, i need to select an object (it isnßt the case), or the control might not work in this situation (?)
I am logged in as a farm administrator, so i wonder what is the problem

You have to run Central Administration as administrator.
Start -> All Programs -> Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Products -> right click on SharePoint 2010 Central Administration -> click on Run as administrator

Associate Test case in VS 2017 shows error not connected to a project but I am

I am using Visual Studio 2017 with Selenium C# for automation testing. I do see when I right click a Test, 'Associate to Test Case' is enabled. When I click it though, I do see an error - 'You are not logged into Team Services or Team Foundation Server. Please login to an account and try again'. I validated in the Team Explorer - Home, my test repository is displayed. I did close and reopen Visual Studio and reconnected to my project but still seeing the error.
Any advice would be great. Thank you. :)
Navigate to the Team Explorer view
Click the Home icon
Pull down the list to the right of "Home"
Select Projects and My Teams / Manage Connections
Click Manage Connections / Connect to a Project...
Select your repo and click the Connect button
If you still encounter the problem open visual Studio as an administrator.

sharepoint 2010 quick launch missing

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.

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.

Sharepoint 2010 user not found error

I am getting this error when I try to do the following:
accessing a library settings
accessing a workflow settings
accessing a list settings
accessing a task settings
p.s.
I'm using SharePoint 2010 on Windows Server 2008 64-bit
I am using an Administrator account.
I recently installed the Active Directory on the server
Regrds
Check the workflows. Browse to the site, and Edit in SharePoint Designer. If you click on the workflows, there may be one there that was created by a user that no longer exists, or a local user that is not in AD. Save and republish each of them, and you will probably be allright. Bumped into this when our SP admin got married, and her account changed.
A long term solution would be to have a functional account that is not tied to an individual be the login that publishes all of the workflows. Each workflow runs as the user that publishes it, so any account changes can break a workflow.

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...
