Lost sound on Power Point (.pps) attachments to eMails

Since I have upgraded my Mac to MAC OS X Snow Leopard (10.6.1), I am unable to get any sound on .pps attachments to eMails (the same attachments to the same eMails received on my PC laptop do produce sound). In an attempt to maybe solve this problem, I remove OpenOffice from my Mac and downloaded anew OpenOffice 3.1.1 I still cannot get any sound. I also have the Microsoft Office suite on my Mac, installed before my upgrade to Mac OS X, and its Power Point program also fails to produce any sound for .pps slidesshows.
I do have sound on videos of any kind.
Can you help?
Thank you for your attention.

Mistake in title of my post. Should have read ".pps". Sorry.

How to view Power Point pps slide shows?

I can download a pps slide show and using QuickOffice I can open it but all I get is the images. The slide does not "play" and there is no sound.
How can I play (present) a Power Point slide show on the TouchPad?
Thanks,
Nathan

this link you can see the it should be possible with the
powerpoint viewer.

." .PPS" - MS Power Point attachment to an Email

To clarify my previous question dated 05.11.2010:
I use Gmail account on my IPAD [3G type]. Receiving an E-mails with an attachment having the suffix of * .pps * for Power Point file, I tap the attachment, timer srart cycling but files are not openned. What should I do to open such files?
I'll appriciate directions for the solution.

That file type is not listed as being supported by the iPad's native mail program. It may be able to b opened in an app such as GoodReader. Also, I think others have said that if the sender changes the file extension to ,ppt it should open in the native mail app.
Mail attachment support
Viewable document types: .jpg, .tiff, .gif (images); .doc and .docx (Microsoft Word); .htm and .html (web pages); .key (Keynote); .numbers (Numbers); .pages (Pages); .pdf (Preview and Adobe Acrobat); .ppt and .pptx (Microsoft PowerPoint); .txt (text); .rtf (rich text format); .vcf (contact information); .xls and .xlsx (Microsoft Excel)

How can I get a Power Point (pps) to open?

Hello. I have just upgraded to 10.4.11 from 10.2.8. Prior to upgrading, I was able to open power point presentations (pps)that were sent to me. Now they will not open. I believe I used PowerPoint Viewer 98 before, but maybe it wont work with 10.4.11? Would appreciate any assistance on this. Thank you.

It even works in 10.4! I just figured something out (after getting help in another post, I used the same system)---I moved the .pps out of my Mail file onto my Desktop. I then clicked on GET INFO. When that came up, the box marked OPEN WITH, showed 'None', but there was a drop down box which gave the option to go to the Hard Drive and pick one. I chose my Microsoft Windows 98 Power Point Viewer (which I believe is still available as a download) and it is now the default. I then clicked out of the GET INFO option, tried to open the .pps and it opened as it did before on OS2.8. So maybe I solved my own problem! Cheers.

Power Point Attachments

Hello,
I'm new and this is my first post. I'll be purchasing the 2 GB, 17" iMac come spring as this is when Apple will be releasing the new OS Leopard.
My contacts send me .pps files of which I cannot view at all and being on dial-up does not help. When I was speaking with my salesperson I asked about iWorks and he told me that it will NOT help me view power point attachments. Yet I've read in your forums that it WILL.
I'm so confused and I'd like to get this straigtened out before I make my new purchase. Please help.
Oh and I'm in Canada, so am I on the right site?
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.8) Lacie Burner, Epson Printer, Epson Scanner

Keynote, a part of the iWorks package, will display PowerPoint presentations. Whoever your salesman is, he's quite misinformed.
In addition to using Keynote there are other options. NeoOffice Aqua, Open Office, and ThinkFree are all MS Office compatible suites that read and write Office files including PowerPoint.

Keynote opens pps attachments with no sound

When I get a Power Point attachment, it opens in Keynote, and has no sound. I get the working version, not the finished product. How do I change it to open in Power Point, or at least get sound on Keynote?

I can't answer the part about no sound, because I just made a PP (.pptx) with sound, and when I opened it with KN, the sound worked fine. So my guess is that the attachment you've been sent has been sent without the sound file. To be able to play a PP doc which includes media (audio, video) on any computer other than the one on which it was created, whether Mac or Windows, whether opened with PP or KN, it must be saved as a package (which is a folder containing the PP doc plus the media file), and the whole package must be moved (whether by email or memory stick) to the new computer. The same thing is true with KN docs, BTW.
Moving on: If, on a Mac, you're clicking on a PP doc but it opens in KN, that's probably because you don't have PP installed. Is that the case? If you don't have PP, but want to view a PP doc in PP, or, in any case, not in KN: there used to be a Microsoft app "PowerPoint Viewer for Mac", but that doesn't work with OS X, and there's no update. If you don't want to buy PP, I believe NeoOffice, which is free, will open PP docs, and even allow you to work on them. Obviously, buying PP (MS Office) is the surest, but most expensive solution.
Now then: If you do have PP on your Mac, but your PP docs nevertheless open in KN, it sounds as if the default app for opening PP's has been reset wrong. Correct this by: "Get info" on that file; halfway down the window which opens is an "Open with:" drop-down, where you can set the default app back to PP, and click below that to apply this change to all files like this.
Just out of curiosity: what do you mean by "working version, not the finished product"? Is the difference only the missing sound, or is there more to it than that?
Good luck.

How to import power point sound on keynote ?

how can I import power point diaporamas with the sound on keynote ?

Sorry, Adobe Reader only reads PDF files, not PowerPoint files.
However, if you bought Keynote for about US $9.99 in the App Store, you could open PowerPoint files.

Lost sound on mail attachments

I lost sound for mail attachments when I installed Mountain Lion. Have sound for everything else. Any ideas?

Not sure what you mean about sound for an attachment in Mail. However, the sounds in mail are controlled through Mail > Preferences in the menu bar up top. Under the General tab you can control the sounds:

Lost 2500 photos last night. Mt wife cut and paste a photo into power point for editing. then saved it as a photo. Now in iphoto there is just this one photo and the other 2500 have gone. Where have they gone???????

To answer some basic questions posted to aid people in helping me. These are
I believe it is version 11 of iphoto as i tried to update but it says it has the latest update and Mac is 2 weeks old from new.
OS is Lion.
I have just tried to look everywhere on the Mac to see where the photos might be.
There are no error messages showing on screen and it was fine before my wife did what she did. Even though we have back -ups of 95% of the pictures. I would like to know what happened so that it won't happen again.

Now I have to covert my i tunes to MP-3 formate to insert them into a power point presentation These songs are in my i tunes library on my computer I know how stupid it sounds how to I get them into a file on my computer seperate from my i tunes library

S LIKE i BOUGHT SONGS NOW THERE IN THIS I TUNES LIBRARY THING NOW HOW TO GET THEM INTO A FILE SEPERATE IN MY DOCUMENTS ITS LIKE HOW DO i BREAK INTO THE I TUNES STORE ON MY COMPUTER AND GET THE MUSIC i BOUGHT AND PUT IT INTO MY COMPUTER FILE DOCUMENTS SO i CAN PUT IT INTO POWER POINT PRESENTATIONS AND IN A FORMATE COMPATABLE WITH WINDOWS POWER POINT. I DID IT ONCE SEEMS LIKE I FORGOT THE RECIPE I DID IT WHEN MY KEY BOARD WAS DOWN JUST WITH THE MOUSE I MAILED IN MY LAP TOP GOT THE MUSIC OFF INTO A M-P3 PLAYER GOT IT BACK GOT THE I TUNES CARD DOWNLOADED SONGS NOW THERE TRAPED IN MY I TUNES LIBRARY LOL !!! ???

One way friends of mine have done it....use iTunes to burn a music CD with the songs (presuming it can still do that, haven't tried it in a while)
THen close iTunes and open windows media player. Use that to convet the CD file to MP3 (media player's default is to pull things in as wma, so you may need to change the preferences to mp3, or i'm pretty sure wma's work in power points)
Once media player converts the format you can insert it into your powerpoint.

Need to play Power Point Presentation with Audio in Keynote

My wife and I have lots of Power Point slide shows with audio from the days when we were windows users. We have downloaded a trial version of iWork 09 and would like to know how we can play these .pps files that contain audio in Keynote.
We appreciate any help that anyone could provide as we would much prefer to use Keynote/iWork than MS Office.

That's interesting about NeoOffice. I keep a copy of it up to date but don't use it too often.
This may be too involved for the OP but I would play the file in NeoOffice and record the audio with WIreTap or similar, export it as an MP3 file and then import it into Keynote.
WIreTap can have its input source set to Mac Audio so that it will record from any application that is capable of producing sound.

Power Point Viewer

Hello Everybody,
I'm looking for a viewer that can show me some Power Point Slides (Not OOo and certainly NOT MS Power Point)
I would like to use it as a viewer that captures .pps attachments in my mail.
Does anyone here ever heard of such a program, and where to get it ?
Thanks !

As I recall, the power point viewer was often sent along with the power point data.
I suggest that you may have luck if you put power point viewer on a CD for your use in presenting the power point materials that you wish to display.
The only viewer I can find must be running inside Wine, but that's not what I want.
Isn't there something similar to epdfviewer that can view .pps/.ppt files ?

Office Web Apps 2013 not loading Power Point

I installed Office Web Apps (2013) patched on a 2012 R2 server and I am having issues loading a power point onto the stage in a conference. It says "Loading..." for a few minutes and then eventually says "Either you've lost network connectivity
or our server is too busy to handle your request. Please check your network connection and try again later." Se the error below
