All of a sudden my mac won't open power points that I have saved on my flashdrives

I have microsoft office 2010 for my mac. All of a sudden when I try to open power points i have saved on flash drives, I get gebberish and they don't open.  It isnt the flash drive because it is happening on every one I try to open.

It could be opening it in a different (incompatible) application. If you have Office for Mac 2008 or 2011 then try opening Microsoft Office on your Mac first, and then opening the relevant Microsoft Office document.
As MGW has said, Microsoft Office 2010 is the Windows version, and will not run on a Mac. If you do not have a Mac version of Mirosoft Office, you will either need to purchase it from microsoft.com/mac, or go to the Mac App Store and buy Keynote which is Apple's equivalent of PowerPoint. However, while it is incredibly compatible with Office documents (Apple's productivity suite), you may be better off getting Microsoft Office if you want to ensure full compatibility with the Microsoft Office document formats. However, Keynote is considerably cheaper being in the Mac App Store.

    Try the following document, only be sure that none of the boxes in the compatibility mode tab are checked (not just the compatibility mode box itself):

  • IPhone 4S camera all of a sudden the shutter won't open, camera freezes.

    My camera shutter won't open, won't take pictures, then freezes when I hit any other camera buttons.
    This started happening a few days ago, before I updated my phone to 6. But it's still not working.
    Tried hard reset shut off. Didn't work.

    Well, there are other troubleshooting steps to take that are outlined in the User Guide.

  • All of a sudden, my Mac won't connect to my smtp outgoing mail server...

    It looks for a connection, but never connects. No issues until this week, it's been working fine for 14 months.
    Settings verifed with the ISP (Cox) but beyond that they were of no help. Mail sits in Outbox and won't send.
    Anyone had this issue and how did you fix it?
    Thanks.

    I would troubleshoot by disabling firewall trying other devices like smart phones or other computers to see if they can
    then I would look in the routers settings and verify using the webmail option that the password was not changed

  • I used to be able to open .pdf documents on my MacBook Pro using FireFox with NO problems, all of a sudden NOW they won't open and i get "unsupported" error messages. What the ****? I need to fix this ASAP! Can anyone help in simple non geek language?

    THANKS.

    Depending on which version of Firefox you're using, it no longer currently supports the plug-in provided with Adobe Reader. You have to use PDF Plugin 2.4.4. Just disable the Adobe plugin and use the Schubert plugin.

    Open the Sharing pane in System Preferences. If the Computer Name is not set, enter a name. You may first have to click the lock icon in the lower left corner and authenticate to unlock the settings.

  • All of a sudden my keyboard won't type.

    All of a sudden my keyboard won't type.  This happened before and it was just something that I hit accidentally that turned off the keyboard.  Can't remember how to fix it.  It was very simple, like pressing a couple keys and it worked.

    As I suspected, the keys aren't registering to allow you to boot from a CD or switch the startup disk. I am going to assume that you wont be able to reset the pram or do an SMC reset either. You can try anyway...
    PRAM reset
    hold Option + Command + P + R and press the power button. Hold those keys until you hear the startup chime at least 2 times.
    SMC Reset
    Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer.
    Safe boot
    Hold the shift key whilst rebooting.
    You can try these three things, but I'm leaning towards a hardware failure on this as it seems the KB is not functioning even prior to the OS loading.

  • I have an external hard drive that I have been using for years.  All of a sudden my mac will not recognize the external as a "save as" device location.  But the external does show up on my desktop and I can open it to drag and drop items. Help.

    Hi,
    Check Finder>Preferences>Sidebar, is it checked there to show external drives?

  • All of a sudden, my iPad won't come on. I can't tell if it is charging. Did the screen die? I had no problems prior to this.

    All of a sudden, my iPad won't turn on. I've had no previous problems. I plugged it in last night, at 9%. Took it to work this morning. It worked for a while. Then, I went to check email again, and it wouldn't come on. I hadn't noticed the power status, so I don't know if it didn't take a charge overnight. It's been plugged in again all evening, and still won't turn on. Any suggestions?

    It's possible you have a defective charger and you don't have any juice left.  The first thing you should try is a reboot:  Press and hold BOTH the power and home buttons at the SAME time for at least 10 seconds (ignore the red slider to shut down) until the Apple Logo appears, then let go o both buttons and hopefully, your iPad will restart.  If that doesn't work, it's possible you just don't have a charge left.  You can trickle charge your iPad via your computer, it will take a loooong time, but even though it says it's not charging, it is, just verrrry slowly.  If that doesn't work, it's probably time to make an appointment at the Genius Bar at your Apple Store.  If of course your wall charger isn't charging your device, it could be as simple as replacing the charger.

  • All of a sudden, my iTunes won't play music.

    All of a sudden my iTunes won't play anything in the store or my library. Updates are done and my windows computer is authorized. It has worked fine in the past and then all of a sudden, I click play and nothing plays. I can play music and video in other programs except itunes. Volume is up also. It won't play at all. Any suggestions???

    I would suggest first,
    looking for the files (not in iTunes but on the desktop. If you find the files they've simply been removed from iTunes. - If you can't find the files they've been erased and there's not a lot that can be done.
    Removing files from and iPod is another question. Firstly, it IS difficult, but it can be done. There are numerous tutorials on the web on how to do it.
    Regards,
    Peter.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

  • My Mac won't open certain web pages I believe it may be malware

    Hey, about a week ago all of a sudden my mac had a very slow day where everything on it, apps and the internet was going at a snails pace. After i turned it off and on it seemed to be fine, however, since then certain webpages have stopped loading up where they worked just the day before. More and more websites seem to be dropping off every day. I enter the address and it loads about 1 tenth of the way on the bar, the page goes white and nothing happens for a couple of minutes untill it says "unable to load page". I've downloaded ClamXav and it found 3 trojans. I promptly got rid of them through dumping them in the trash and emptying it but the problem still persists. The worst part of it is that it now isnt letting me download attachments from my emails, i click download as zip and nothing happens.

  • Adobe Bridge CS6 (Mac) won't open .arw files from my Sony RX100. How do I get and install the right version of Camera Raw?

    Adobe Bridge CS6 (Mac) won't open .arw files from my Sony RX100. I was told to update Camera Raw to at least 7.2. I tried to download this but got a DNG Converter instead. Where is Camera Raw? (it does not show up in a search of my hard drive. There is a folder of camera profiles but no extension or plug-in with this name). How do I find out what version I have already? How do I get the correct version?  . . . OR . . . is it the case that Bridge will never open Sony raw files directly and I will have to do a separate conversion process every time I want to use a raw file??. Can someone explain this?
    Thanks.
