Why is the "Connect to Outlook" button is grayed out in SharePoint 2013?

2013-05-07T17:37:15Z

The reason is because the Minimal Download Strategy feature does not download all the necessary scripts to enable the "Connect to Outlook" feature.

What is Minimal Download Strategy?
It is a new feature in SharePoint 2013 that improves client rendering performance and fluidity when navigating from page to page by download only the changes between two compatible pages.
Fewer bytes will be downloaded and the page will appear more quickly.

To enable the "Connect to Outlook" button, you can disable the Minimal Download Strategy, but this is not recommended as you will lose out more of the cool capabilities that it can perform.

The recommendations to get the "Connect to Outlook" button, just refresh the page by pressing the "F5" button or refresh on the browser, the button will be enabled.

Some of my findings on SharePoint 2013

2013-01-26T08:32:00Z

Office Web Apps can be used only by SharePoint 2013 web applications that use claims-based authentication.

Office Web Apps rendering and editing will not work on SharePoint 2013 web applications that use classic mode authentication. Hence, something to watch our when migrating SharePoint 2010 web applications.

Versioning

Do not enable minor versioning in document libraries that contain OneNote notebooks. Minor versioning can result in synchronization errors that prevent edits from being saved.

Temporary fixing "This content cannot be displayed in a frame" in Office365 with Internet Explorer

2013-01-02T04:52:00Z

When I was branding an Office365 SharePoint 2013 site, I'm getting an error when viewing apps that use Web Parts.
The error message is "This content cannot be displayed in a frame" and is described similarly to this forum thread.

http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/appsforsharepoint/thread/fa6abb31-7251-4744-ab14-634cde38a42d

The "temporary fix", is to add “https://login.microsoftonline.com” to the Trusted Sites list in Internet Explorer.

Error in copying item in SharePoint 2010 Workflow

2012-11-25T06:27:27Z

If you are experiencing the following error:

"The workflow could not copy the item. Make sure the source and destination lists have the same columns and column settings."

I resolved it by making sure that the destination document library does not require document to be checked out for editing.

Require documents to be checked out before they can be edited?
