Equations for Keynote and Powerpoint Files?

I copied a powerpoint file onto my Ipad2 and used Keynote to open it. Most everything is fine, but Ipad-Keynote won't recognize the equations.
The Keynote on my Macbook pro will recognize them. The equations were made with Microsoft's equation editor.
Is there any way to get Keynote to recognize equations? Alternatively, is there some app for the Ipad that will recognize/show/allow-editing of
equations in powerpoint?

This is fine, but not really the answer. If you look at the MathType web site, you'll find the following in response to queries about Equation Editor on the iPad:
"Is there a version of MathType for Apple Pages on iPad/iPhone?
No. Not yet anyway. Since Apple released Pages for iPad, we have received numerous inquiries regarding creating and editing MathType equations in that environment. Since the iPhone uses the same software as iPad, it is reasonable to expect that Apple will offer a version of Pages that works on it as well someday soon.
Pages for iPad lacks MathType support
As you probably know, Apple added support for MathType to iWork '09 in all three iWork apps, Pages, Numbers, and Keynote. This required Apple to do software development in these applications. We made only minor changes to MathType to make this work. Before we can make a version of MathType for Pages, or any other iWork app, Apple must do similar work in Pages for iPad.
Why don't you guys work this out with Apple?
We would love to. However, it is not just a matter of us picking up the phone and calling Tim Cook, or anyone else in Apple management for that matter. Big companies like Apple get inundated daily with requests from smaller companies to make things work in their favor. Like all smart companies, Apple does not set its market direction by listening to other companies but by listening to its customers.
So what can I do?
The best thing you can do to get MathType support added to Pages for iPad/iPhone is to tell Apple that it is important to you. Apple has a Pages for iPad Comment Form that is perfect for giving them feedback. Encourage your friends and associates to also let them know that you would like MathType support in Pages for iPad. If you work at a university or other educational institution, or company with lots of iPads, you may have other avenues open to give Apple feedback. Companies love feedback from their customers. We do and we are pretty sure Apple does also."
So it is really a two-way street, and I am sure that a small company like Design Science would LOVE to be able to have their product as an iPad app, or even as transferable from a MacBook. However, it seems that for them to ready MathType for the iPad, it needs a little effort from Apple, which has not, so far, been forthcoming. Again, it comes down to the question of why has Apple turned its back on the tablet concept, when they had it first, and as a company trying so hard to dominate the education market? It makes no sense, unless they really just don't care about it, and would rather sell iPhones and iPads for folk to play Angry Birds on.
And telling me I have to use PowerPoint is not the solution - PowerPoint is clunky and ugly, compared to Keynote on the MacBook, and there's no reason to drive a Yugo when a Jaguar is sitting in the garage, waiting for a fourth wheel.
I really would like to now what apps can sit on an iPad and allow me to handwrite on top of a Keynote presentation, and include complex equations without inordinate additional effort. None of the MacBook solutions is satisfactory, especially when I a) have video content, and b) am trying to record the lecture to a Podcast at the same time, and I don't see that possibility on the iPad yet. Technology is supposed to make preparing and delivering material to students easier and more efficient - the reality is that, with thestill crude tools currently available, doing so can become an infinite sink for time and resources. It may be true that where there is a will there is a way, but what there is not is an infinite supply of time to make it happen.

How do I port my Windows Word, Excel, and Powerpoint files to the MAC? What software is needed on the MAC to use them? Thanks.

How do I port my Windows Word, Excel, and Powerpoint files to the MAC? What software is needed on the MAC to use them? Thanks.

You can certainly use iWork, though I hesitate to recommend it to a seasoned Windows user simply because it would add another level of the unfamiliar with which you would have to gain familiarity. The iWork applications are certainly very competent and in most respects both easy to use and surprisingly powerful. They are not 100% compatible however, though that typically manifests itself in document formatting issues rather than anything more significant.
I have never attempted to import emails from a Windows system into MacOS - other than in Outlook connected to an Exchange server, thus not really an issue at all. I doubt that the Mail app in MacOS can import directly, but of course you could always set the account(s) up on the Mac and then forward emails you want to keep from the PC. Not elegant, but it works. Virtually any Windows document or file, whichever application created it, can be opened or converted for use on a Mac, and using both systems on my desk each day I rarely see any issues switching stuff from one machine to the other. You may stumble over one or two issues, but likely not significant.
In switching platforms there will be some inevitable issues, not so much with being able to import your stuff because there's usually a workaround or a utility that can help, but just with getting familiar with the platform and the differences between Windows and MacOS that can obscure their similarities. From time to time the support community here hears from a user who has found the migration very problematic and regrets it, but for the most part the phrase 'I should have done this years ago...' is rather more prevalent!

I lost my keynote and pages file

How do I restore keynote and pages file that seem to have vanished in icloud?

Thanks Carolyn. But i still cant retrieve the files. They have vanished. This is an embarassement to apple and its systems and an inconvenience to people like me who have lost the file. This is the only time i lost my file when i didnt think twice and just allowed the Keynote and pages files created to be stored on icloud. It was there for a few weeks and then suddenly i realised i coldnt find it anymore.
Thanks so much for your help and feedback.
Cheers

I upgraded to the ios5 on my ipad 2 and now all my Notes, Numbers and keynote and goodreader files are gone. Did they back up? If so where?

I upgraded to the ios5 on my ipad 2 and now all my Notes, Numbers, keynote and goodreader files are gone. Did they back up? If so where? Any help is greatly appreciated.

that happens for people who used icloud for everything but contacts. When they updated and went through initial
set up, signing into cloud enabled everything including cloud for contacts. Since they had zero contacts in cloud, cloud cleaned out their contacts, but synced everything else that icloud has, like calendars, reminders etc. If those contacts were never backed up anywhere - they gone. If there is back up in cloud, it needs to be restored.
Contacts sync in the cloud need to be turned off, right after restore.

How does one change the font size for folders and/or file lists in the Bookmarks Library?

How does one change the font size for folders and/or file lists in the '''Bookmarks''' Library?
Since the upgrade to version 9.0.1 of Firefox, the Bookmarks feature changes are confusing me. They seem to be confusing themselves as well. The list of bookmarks has changed. The font size is so small that my aging eyes cannot read it without fogging the screen with my breath. Some folders are out of alphabetical order (where I know they were previously good), and some are missing altogether (folders to which I frequently add references).
As for missing or deranged files or folders, was there something that I should have done or now need to do to recover those after the upgrade (or before)?
With regard to font size,
1. there is no “Edit Bookmarks” or like option to edit the list in this version
2. the “zoom” option in the “view” list of functions is greyed out when in “Show All Bookmarks” window
3. expanding the browser window has no effect on font size
4. “Preferences” settings for font size has no effect in that window either, including advanced settings
5. “Help” offers none that I can find.
Can any of you Help?!?

Maybe this extension helps:

I have an iPad 1 and after I got the latest update for keynote and Now it crashes every time I try to open it

Do you have iOS 5.1.1 on your original iPad? If not update the iOS.
You might also try quitting the app and then reset the pad.
Go to the Home screen and double click the Home button. That will reveal the row of recently used apps at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold on the app in question until it wiggles and displays a minus sign. Tap the minus sign to actually quit the app. Then tap anywhere on the screen above that bottom row to return the screen to normal. Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
Still no joy? Delete the Keynote app, reset the iPad and then reinstall Keynote. You will not have to pay for downloading it again.

Bridge does not show dimensions for .PDF and .AI files

Is there any way to see the dimensions in cm (or inch) for PDF and AI files in Bridge? I'm using Bridge CS5 4.1.0.54 as part of CS5.5 Design Premium, have set the preferences in Bridge to show them, but there are no values in the metadata fields for dimensions in inch/cm. I don't know if this behaviour is normal or if there's something wrong with my installation...
TIA,
Matthias

May be 'dimension' is not the right word/translation. In my german version it says 'Abmessungen (in Zoll)' or 'Abmessungen (in cm)', which should mean something like 'dimension' or 'size'. DIN A4, A5, US Letter, Legal etc. pp. in cm or inch.

I keep getting a "missing plugin" for midi and mp3 files.

I keep getting a "missing plugin" for midi and mp3 files I want to listen to online. These are Hymn files. And I get a message telling me I have a missing plugin. Any ideas?

My husband used to be able to convert ABC files to MIDI files . This allows sheet music to be played on the computer so as to learn a tune. We get the Missing Plug in message.
I downloaded the Quicktime 7. I open Quick time, Still get the message. What is the solution?
If you need to look at an example, go to "The Session" website:

"Tag Editor" for M4A and M4V Files?

I got major corruption in my music files, resulting in either 2 extra letters being inserted in the file names just ahead of the period between the file name and the extension, or the entire filename being replaced by 4 random letters. Found some tag editors that will let me repair MP3 files, by pulling tag data out of the file and using it to fix the file names. Does something like that exist for m4a and m4v files?

No, I'm not suggesting that at all, I was replying to another poster who said they couldn't add artwork to an mp4 at all.
Your equipment likely has nothing to do with this, I have a dual 4 core 3 Ghz Xeon CPU and I too have a considerable wait sometimes adding artwork to some files.
mp4 containers can hold either mpeg4/2 or mpeg4/10, (simple mpeg4 and AVC) and each compression type has a whole array of complexity types associated with it, much the same can be said for audio in the mp4 container.
What I'm saying is that some mp4's will take time to add artwork, some will do it straight away and there are situations where some mp4's won't take artwork. It isn't your system, your hardware or anything you are doing wrong, it's the way it is.

Keynote and PowerPoint

I am considering using Keynote instead of PowerPoint. 2 Questions:
1. Can you save a Keynote file as a PowerPoint file. That is, export to PowerPoint?
2. Can you import a PowerPoint presentation into Keynote?
Thank you whoever.

That one's a little more nuanced.
What is your aim with a presentation application? Do you want to be able to easily share your slides with the audience afterwards? Are you looking for features that will place your presentation above others? Have you used PowerPoint for some time and feel that there are certain features you MUST have in order to be productive?
Keynote can utilize pretty much any image and many types of video and audio. You will find that you're thinking less about what you need to alter to make it work and more about "what do I need to get my point across" (because whether or not the media is in the right format becomes secondary). PowerPoint has been in development for a VERY long time and has picked up a wide range of features that many are accustomed to. Plus, there's the fact that almost any office computer anywhere will be able to run your presentation in a crunch.
Keynote is more of a "work for you to make your presentation look good". PowerPoint might not look as good, but almost anyone can "Share and Enjoy" your presentation. How will you use it?

New to Keynote and Powerpoint

I am a garden writer and often give presentations around the mid-Atlantic. My former talks have been old fashioned slide shows. Now I have been asked to do a new one and I am wondering, if I create the show with PowerPoint or Keynote and save it on a thumbdrive, will it play on a PC at the venue? Sorry for the newbie question but I know nothing about this!

Keynote is a Mac only application, Keynote files can not be played in windows.
Keynote presentations can be exported as Powerpoint files using: File > Export > Powerpoint
PowerPoint is available for both windows and Mac.

How do I add a color pallet for Keynote and Pages?

This seems like it should be straightforward, but I need to add a new color pallet for use with Keynote and Pages. I have the .clr file, but I'm not having any success getting it to show up in the color picker.

Within Keynote, show the colour palette (command shift C or view > show colours)
click the image palette button (arrowed)
click the Palette drop down menu and select either: new from file or new from clipboard

Creating links to Word, PDF and Powerpoint files

I need advice on how to create links to Word, Powerpoint and PDF files in my Captivate project. How do I also make sure that when my file is published, those links can be accessed by the reader. I am new to this process. Thanks!

Yes. You can place the linked file in your zipped folder. Here is a recommended workflow.
1. Add a button (Smartshape or regular button) to the slide.
2. Assign the Open File or URL action to the button. In the URL field, specify the file name (say, Sample.PPTX) which you want to link to.
3. Click the down arrow button next to the URL field and select New so that the file launches in a new window.
4. Save and publish your project to a folder.
5. Go to the published folder and place the linked Sample.pptx file in the folder.
6. Zip the published folder.
Absolute Path is where you give the full path of the file's location including the folder structure. For example, C:\<UserName>\Documents\My Adobe Captivate Projects\Sample.pptx. If you use this, then you have to maintain the same folder structure in the published folder as well, which is impractical.
Relative Path, in this case, is where you just give the file name and make sure that the file is in the published folder.
Just Google and you will find several examples of absolute and relative paths. You will even see that you can define sub folders if required.

Saving Pages, Keynote and Numbers files so they're compatible to open on PC

How do I save files from pages, keynote and numbers so I can open them on a PC?

I would have to think that most PC's are running Office, so that would be a safe bet.
If you really want anyone to be able to open and read, PlainText or pdf would be even better. PDF for reading and plaintext if you want them to be able to edit.
