How do I... (1) "play" a ppt; (2) "see" my sub-folders and their files in "Docs To Go" or "File Manager"?

This is written for the Playbook blog writer in the hope that he will see it here and post a blog answer. However, a reply from anyone would be appreciated. Thanks.
[2 questions about PPBB OS 2.0+]
Hi. Thanks for your very informative blog. I would appreciate it if you would consider writing blog tips to answer the following:
1) Why can't I organize my files in "Documents" or "File Manager" to "see" them in their sub-folders?
BBPB allows me to create SUB folders in the Documents folder, through my pc's access to the "Documents" folder in the Playbook. However, then I cannot "see" these created sub-folders on my BBPB after I disconnect my BBPB from my PC.
All the files I downloaded into these "sub" folders end up all together in the file list in "DOCS TO GO", either in "Documents" or "Music" or "Video" or "Pictures" ---- but these files are NOT separated into the sub-folders I created. The same thing happens in "FILE MANAGER" i.e. all files on the Playbook are in ONE place only.
Is the Playbook OS ever going to allow one to view sub-folders and what is in them, other than using the pc to do it? For example, it would be desirable to put all my ppt files into one folder.
2) How do I "play" a PPT file in the BBPB?
The BBPB "User Guide" says that I can "view, edit, or play" Powerpoint Presentations. However, although it describes how to "view" or "edit" individual slides, it does not say how to "play" ("run") a slideshow. How do you "play" a self-running slideshow?
For example, in Windows, you can click "play.bat" (in a saved "presentation cd" folder on a cd or USB stick) to run the ppt with sound and pictures saved in that folder (you don't need the Powerpoint program itself for this, since you are using the "pptview.exe" file in the same folder to "play" it). However, after downloading all the files in this "presentation cd" folder to the Playbook, I could only see one of them, the ppt file itself ---- and there is no icon in the Playbook to "play" the slideshow, it seems. Help?!
Thank you.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

First, I use an app called "File Browser" to view those subfolders.
As for running a powerpoint, I can open a ppt file and it runs in Documents to go. Next to the "Close" button there are three icons. The third one runs the ppt file as a slideshow.

A Dell Technician told me my Firefox 3.6.17 was corrupted and uninstalled it and Installed 4.0. Now I lost all my sub-folder Bookmarks and some Folder Bookmarks. How to I retreive them?

I had about 100 Bookmark Folders and 500 to 600 Bookmark sub-folders inside the Bookmark Folders on Firefox 3.6.17. When I signed off my Windows XP system on Thursday the Firefox home Page was fine. When I logged on to the Firefox Homepage the next day the page changed and I was unable to change it back, the "add Apps" had no effect and I could not customize the page. My home page is google com ig dell using Mozilla Firefox as my Browser so I called Dell to get help. The Dell technician played with it for about 1 1/2 hours and then decided Firefox was corrupted and he would have to load a new copy. He uninstalled the old 3.6.17 and installed 4.0. I specifically told him I had lots of Bookmarks and could not lose them. He assured me it would be No Problem. When I checked after he finished, I had lost all my bookmarks. The Dell Technician could not retrieve the Bookmarks and had to go to a Dell Datasafe Backup that I did. He could only retrieve a small portion of my Bookmarks. It will take me weeks to build these Bookmarks again. I can't believe these are all gone from my hard drive. Is there anything I can do to retrieve them and how can I prevent this in the future.

I, too had my book marks disappear when I upgraded to FF 4.0
I am now back and enjoying FF 3.6.17 (my original) yet I am still
without my book marks and am floundering trying to recoup.
Any help appreciated. If unable to see my book marks in the near
future I will definitely jump ship. It's too bad that FF people have
created this problem. I am mystified and disgusted with their actions.

Help, ipod won't play music or connect to p.c folder icon and exclamation

Been having loads of problems with my second generation ipod.
Everytime I tried to update it, it would start putting the songs on then say ipod session timed out and wouldn't work.
I thought that updating my ipod software might be the answer but when I tried to do this the updater said 'Firmware update failure. Disk write error.'
I then tried reseting and restoring my ipod but now every time I try to play my music it comes up with a file logo and an exclamation mark. I can't play any music.
I would be soooo greatfull if someone could tell me how to sort out this problem cos it's doing my head in and I really would like to be able to use my ipod again.
Thanks.

How can I open all the tabs saved in a sub folder of the bookmark menu simultaneously in a single click/command ?

I have saved some of the related tabs in a common sub folder in the bookmarks list and whenever i have to open this tabs always i have to open them individually coz the 'open all in new tabs' option is not available for subfolder, so is there any command or click available from which i can directly open all the saved tabs of a subfolder simultaneously in one single attempt ? using vaio laptop, windows 7 basic, firefox version 6.0.2 !

yes i do that on my desktop but i dont have middle click option on laptop and even in the right click context the ''open all in tabs'' option is desplayed but is in light color i.e. not functional. Is this a problem with windows 7 or missing plugin or add on could help or extension of some sort ? please help !

? I opened the "get started" page and "How to edit a photo-" but I just see a big black box and some text and no way to work with anything. I downloaded the photos and opened them and there they are.

Is there supposed to be a video in that black box?

Yes those are supposed to be videos. I can see them now. These videos are hosted on Youtube. Some people have experienced temporary issues but later have been able to view the videos. I suggest coming back and trying again, or try another browser.

Since upgrading to Lion, movies won't play in PPT for Mac 2011. ideas?

Since upgrading to Lion, my movies will not play within PPT for Mac 2011. Do I have to install new CODECs? how?

Asatoran, Good ideal. I went there with the question and got this response:
"The windows version was probably built with active-x controls which do not work on the Mac. you will need to change the controls to those on the forms tool bar."
I found a form tool bar in the developer section, but nothing on active controls....and the sheet is protected not allowing any changes anyway.
Thanks again for the direction.

How do I transfer "Plays" from iTouch to new iTunes

Over the holidays, I received a new laptop with Windows 7: 64bit. I copied my entire iTunes library from my old desktop tower (still running on XP)
using a portable hardrive.. All the files had transferred just fine, but all the playlists and "Plays" were left behind. I'm fine with recreating the playlists, but several of them are "smart" playlists and rely on the Plays value as a determinant for inclusion.
Plausible solutions and their failures:
1) I thought Home Sharing would share the Plays value, but the connection was refused on my XP computer. I run a diagnostic and it detects internet but something is blocking it. Firewall allows iTunes and no other settings were intenionally changed. It says last known connection was in February, which was around the time I was hit with a virus. Part of the cleanup involved going into system32 to block certain sites, but nothing Apple-related. Could this be preventing connection? I have since forgotten where I go to remove the blocked sites.
2) Simply syncing the iTouch (2nd gen, 16GB) to the W7 computer gives me a warning that the computer library will erase the library on the iTouch. It's all the same songs, but I assume the only change will be the erasure of the Plays values.
3) Exporting a playlist of "Music" from iTouch will export a .txt file with a list of songs that inclused a Plays value for each song. However, importing the playlist simply creates a new list of songs and does not transfer any of the other values.
4) I have not found a way to manually enter a Plays Value, but at this point if that was the only way, I would do it for my entire library.
5) Would transferring the entire set of music to the "Purchased on Mike's iTouch" playlist and then doing a "Sync purchases from Mike's iTouch" work. I did that erlier and it transferred all my apps. Would it transfer Plays?

You need to copy everything from your old computer to your new one.

How can I actually PLAY a game on my iPhone 6? When I GOTO the Game Center and click games, all I get is the screen with leaderboards, stats, etc

How can I actually PLAY a game on my iPhone 6? When I goto the Game Center and click on games, then click on a specific game (solitaire, for example), all I get is the leaderboards, achievements and player screen. All I want to do is launch the game.

Hi Jordanali!!!
Game Center is just simply used for what you are seeing, leaderboards and stats between your friends and yourself.
To launch an app, first download it from the app store, then just tap the icon on the home screen when it is done downloading!!!
I hope that answers all of your questions!

How can I re-play the tutorials in iwork?

I am new to Apple and am enjoying the experience thus far. My only unanswered question is how can I re-play the tutorials that popped up the very first time I opened an application? i.e. The first time I opened "Keynote" a window opened that gave me the opportunity to see some video highlights, I chose not to watch thinking I would get to it later. However, now when I click on the "keynote" icon it takes me directly to the application - no video tutorials offered. This is true of all the applications in iwork. I have found tutorials on-line but can I still get them on my computer?
Thanks

The only tutorial videos are online -- if you go to the Help menu and choose "Video Tutorials", that will take you to the appropriate section of the Apple site (and the "Welcome to Keynote" item will give you that window that popped up the first time you ran Keynote).
If you want a basic overview of iWork (and a very nice demonstration of what Keynote can do), then the Help item "iWork Tour" is highly recommended.

You might want to ask someone in the Keynote forum. It may be in one of Keynote's support documents in your Documents or Library folders, or it may be inside the package contents of the Keynote application itself. Since I don't have the most recent Keynote, I can't say I'd know.

I no longer have sound when playing my clips through adobe premiere elements 12. How to I correct this problem? I have checked all audio levels and there is no mute on etc. I have updated to 12.1. Still no sound.

I no longer have sound when playing my clips through adobe premiere elements 12. How to I correct this problem? I have checked all audio levels and there is no mute on etc. I updated to 12.1, but still no sound in any clips. Even not on old files which used to work.

What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 12/12.1 running on? Can we assume that this audio plays back OK
on the same computer when you are using a computer player independent of Premiere Elements?
What are the properties of these clips that worked before but do not know with regard to sound
For now, I will assume that you are working on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit.
Have you checked the Edit Menu/Preferences/Audio Hardware ASIO settings? Do you have any 3rd party audio devices incorporated in your computer environment?
Please delete the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file and, if that does not work, then the whole 12.0 Folder in which the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exists. The Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit path is
Local Disk C
Users
Owner
AppData
Roaming
Adobe
Premiere Elements
12.0
and, in the 12.0 Folder, is the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file that you delete. If that does not work, then delete the whole 12.0 Folder in which the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exists. Make sure that you are working with Folder Option "Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives" active so that you can see the complete path cited.
Do you have installation files or installation disc with the purchased serial number in case we need to resort to uninstall/reinstall?
We will be watching for your follow up.

HT1933 I bought six songs using my itunes gift card in February but I cannot play the songs or downlaod them to my ipod because I get an error saying the original file could not be found. I have used the gift card previously with no issue. How do I fix

I bought six songs using my itunes gift card in February but I cannot play the songs or downlaod them to my ipod because I get an error saying the original file could not be found. I have used the gift card previously with no issue. How do I fix it?

Have you moved or deleted those tracks on your computer (the gift card has got nothing to do with it) ?
You might be able to re-download them via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes (re-downloading isn't possible in all countries) - if those songs appear there then delete the entries from your iTunes library (where you are clicking on them to play them and gettinf the 'original file' error), and they should then get a cloud symbol against them for re-downloading.
If they don't appear in that link then have you got them on, for example, an external drive ?
