Annoying extraneous files when opening Powerpoint file

Hi, This must be simple but I can't find it anywhere in the forum. As long as I've used Keynote, whenever I open Powerpoint files within Keynote, I generate a bunch of files on the main hard drive folder with names such as "~AUT00060". These appear to be non-essential files involved in converting Powerpoint, but is it safe to delete them? Each is only about 120 kb...
Thanks...

I've never seen that on any of my systems with any version of Keynote. Weird.

When opening Powerpoint, the file opens outside of the screen, and I cannot use it, nor can I open a new ppt. How do I rectify this?

Usually the Window menu allows you to adjust window placement in Microsoft Office products.
If not, connect an external display or projector and change the resolution to the maximum.
Save the document with the window residing on the main screen with the Dock.
That will force it to open on the main screen in the future.

Error when opening PowerPoint related to Data Execution Prevention Mode

I am experiencing an error when attempting to open a PowerPoint file. . Here is the full message: "powerPoint is experiencing a serious problem with PowerPoint com add in. This add-in is incompatible with Data Protection Execution Mode and should be disabled or upgraded to the latest version. Do you wish to disable?" I am using PowerPoint 2010 and Adobe Presenter version 8.

I've continually experience the same issues. I have updated to Presenter 8.02.
If I open a project by double-clicking the .pptx file I get the following error message:
"Run-time error '-2147467259 (80004005)
SlideShowWindow (unknown member) :Invalid request. Automation rights are not granted."
If I then enter the Presenter tab and click an option (for instance "Settings") Powerpoint crashes and restarts itself. Once restarted the following error message is presented:
"PowerPoint experienced a serious problem with the 'adobe presenter powerpoint com adding' add-in. This add-in is incompatible with Data Execution Prevention mode and should be disabled or upgraded to the latest version. Do you wish to disable this add-in from loading?"
I can often crash Powerpoint with the same DEP warning by closing the presentation with the window's "X" button - Powerpoint restarts itself and gives the same DEP warning as above.
I normally choose to not disable and continue working. If I then go to "Settings" in Presenter again, it will open without problem. It seems that after four to six occurences like this, Presenter will then be disabled by Powerpoint and require resetting in the File-Options-Addins section.
Alternately, if I open Powerpoint first and then open my project through the File-Open or Recent Presentations list I do not get the Run-time error mentioned above and usually can open a Presenter option ("Settings") without crashing Powerpoint. I can also close the project without incedent if I use the File-Close menu as opposed the the "X" button.
I am running Win 7 64bit, Powerpoint 2010 32bit with Presenter 8.02.
Sincerely hoping support is continuing to monitor these threads, as this one was started in November without much response.

Keynotes Crashes when Opening Powerpoint

I am trying to open a powerpoint file in Keynote. I have opened it in Keynote, dragged it to Keynote and each time the application Keynote quits unexpectedly. Any hints?

I have the same problem when opening presentations made in Windows PPT. After I open them in PPT on Mac and save them, Keynote opens them with no problem.
This problem appeared only after I swiched to Intel based Mac, I have never had it with the PowerPC version.
Hope that helps.

How can I remove annoying click sound when opening new tab?

I've already goggled this and it said something about no-script (which I'm not running) and nothing else that sounded remotely close to my issue. Basically anytime I open a new tab (which I do tons of) I get the most obnoxious loud click type sound and it drives me up the walls. I can simply mute the whole browser but then many media players and the like play the audio directly through the browser instead of adobe flash or the like. I just learned it also plays the most annoying sound in the world when I use the spellcheck feature...
Any help on removing this terrible sound file from Firefox would be greatly appreciated... I would hate to have to start using chrome just to get away from this sound.
The only add-ons I use are Adblock Plus 2.6.3, Advanced SystemCare Surfing Protection 1.0 (I assume it installed itself with the actual ASC program), and Leechblock 0.6.6.
All my plugins are off by default unless I manually turn them on the add-on manager window when I start up firefox and the sound plays before I ever activate them.

Did this start when you installed Firefox 30, in other words, Firefox 29 and earlier was fine?
In case one of your extensions is involved, could you test the page in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still run
After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
Any difference?

Imac froze when opening powerpoint attached to email

How do I unfreeze my computer? I opened a .ppt attched to email and it will not load and the preview dialog box is frozen...can't close it and can't hard shutdown my computer...it comes right back to same screen. What do I do?

Use ForceQuit to shutdown the offending app. A PowerPoint document will not load unless you have either PowerPoint or Keynote installed. It's best to import a file prior to attempting to open it. If you don't know how to use Force Quit the keyboard shortcut is Command-Option-esc

How do I stop the annoying sound alerts when opening up a new production?

I'm sure I'm not the only one going through this so I thought I'd ask. I'm running FCSver and whenever I open up a new production or asset, I get this annoying "alert" sound effect (the Sosumi under system preferences), and I was wondering if anyone knew how to turn this off. I'll keep looking, and I'll post if I find anything, but if anyone knew the answer, or could point me to another post, I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that you've got a custom timecode field somewhere in your production and/or asset metadata group(s), right? And I'm going to further guess that this timecode field has dashes in it like this --:--:--:--, right? If so, try this: Click the arrow next to the timecode field and adjust the timecode so that it has a number (it doesn't matter what the number is as long it's not dashes - "00:00:00:00" is fine). Then Save this asset, close it and then reopen it and see if the beeping madness has vanished. Then, to make this change permanent for all of your new assets, make sure to edit the default value of any custom timecode fields to put zeros (or some other numeric default value) into them when a new asset is generated. If the asset still beeps when you open it, check the other metadata groups in your set to see if there isn't another empty timecode field lurking in the shadows.

Can't open powerpoint files in keynote since Mountain Lion upgrade

Not having much luck and not sure which forum to post in as this could be a Mountain Lion issue, an iWork issue, but is also an iWork and/or IOS6 issue!
Until last week I had Lion on iMac and IOS5 on iPad. I was able to log on to my work network server (school network, I am a teacher) and open powerpoint, word or excel files in keynote, pages or numbers on my iPad. I then upgraded to IOS6 and now none of the files will open up on my iPad. I get the open in screen when I choose a file to open, then nothing happens.
In the meantime, I upgraded my iMac from Lion to Mountain Lion. Since I was having problems accessing my work files and viewing them on my iPad, I decided to buy Keynote on my iMac in the hope that I could get on with some work on iMac rather than iPad. I logged on to my school server and tried to open a powerpoint file and for some reason it downloads it as a pptx.exe and if I try to open it I get an error message saying "You can't open the application xxx.pptx.exe because Microsoft Windows applications are not supported on OSX". It shouldn't be a .exe file it should just be a powerpoint file! When I open Keynote and look for available files on my iMac, the file I just downloaded is greyed out.
Hmmmmm so I have an iMac, an iPad, two versions of the Keynote app (plus numbers and pages on the ipad) and can't open any of my files from my school network. That seems a lot of money in one pot Apple and something has changed from Lion to Mountain Lion, and from IOS5 to IOS6 which is preventing me from doing my work. IOS5 allowed me to open any ppt, xls, doc, pptx, xlsx, docx file from my school network so why since upgrading to IOS6 can I suddenly not open them??
Now having forked out for Keynote on my iMac, I have the same problem.
I am able to open attachments in emails and I am able to log on to the school VLE and access and open files. So it is just something to do with opening from the normal file system that I can't do.
I posted in the iPad and iWork forum and had no replies. However, Apple iWork team have contacted me after reading my post re the iPad issue of opening files from my network. I've provided info to them and am waiting for a response, but in the meantime I have now discovered there is also an issue on my iMac. Hopefully they will read this too or someone else will perhaps know what is going on.
It is a worry that I can't do any work using my Apple products seeing as I have bought them! I have had to go back to bringing my windows laptop home everyday which I hope is a short term solution. I have loved the fact that I could access everything on my school network from my iPad in the past and not have to drag a laptop around. I am also worried that this means pupils can't access the files too if they are using Macs, iphones, ipads etc and have upgraded to Mountain Lion or IOS6.
Hoping someone can help
Thanks in advance

Thanks for the response but I think you've misunderstood the problem. I can not open any type of PowerPoint file off my server in keynote. This includes .ppt and .pptx files. (Also includes .doc, .docx, .xls, .xlsx in pages and numbers).
Even if what you said worked it would take forever to go through every file and save them all as ppt 2007. Plus of course, I don't know what files I will need when. There are hundreds of resources I need to access when I'm at home. I need the flexibility to view the files when i need to and on the go. Normally I can download them off my school network on to my iPad in keynote and edit them then I email them back to myself ready to use the next day or to save back to my network. Currently I can not download any Microsoft office file. So I am now forced to have to lug my laptop home everyday, rendering my iPad and iMac useless. I can't pre-empt what I'll need and save it as .ppt as that is completely inflexible and that won't open anyways as this is not an issue with the version of PowerPoint file. This is an issue with how all Microsoft files are downloading from my school network to my iPad and iMac. I want Apple to allow this to work like it used to before the upgrades in operating systems. I wish I hadn't upgraded as it worked perfectly. :(

Upload Center 2010 error when saving Powerpoint 2010 file to SharePoint 2013

I'm experiencing an issue when attempting to save a Powerpoint 2010 file to our SharePoint 2013 farm. If a user opens the file in Edit mode, when saving the file Upload Center 2010 complains the upload failed, and PowerPoint 2010 displays a message
"Upload Failed The server version of this file was updated by another author" and 2 buttons are displayed "Keep My Version" and "Keep Server Version". This is incorrect though, because I confirmed on the server end
the changes have been made. If a user keeps hitting save, sometimes it won't fail during the upload.
If a user opens a file in Read Only mode, then clicks on the Edit button in Powerpoint 2010 and saves the changes, they are then prompted by the error "Refresh Required This file needs to be refreshed with updates. Click Save to refresh
and retry uploading your changes." Once again this is incorrect, as the changes have already been made in SharePoint.
I've recreated this error on multiple workstations, have tried re-installing Upload Center 2010, and have tried complete repairs of Office 2010. The occur continues to persist. This only occurs with Powerpoint 2010 though, and none of the other
Office 2010 products. I feel this is a bug in Upload Center 2010 with SharePoint 2013, because when I save from PowerPoint 2010 through a WebDAV connection over file explorer, it saves fine without any issue.
Has anyone run into this problem before? Below are some screenshots of the errors.
Here's the error when opening in Edit mode:

Missing fonts warning when opening a Keynote file

I'm using Keynote 2.0.2 on a Mini Mac. Having searched for an answer to the ubiquitous "Missing Font" problem when opening a Keynote file, I was wondering if upgrading to the latest version would solve this problem. Unless it does, we would have to think twice about upgrading the software. A lot of users seem to have the problem with version 3 too. Does anyone have a solution to this? The presentation runs perfectly well, but the warning message is annoying and doesn't look nice when presenting to clients. HELP!
1.42 GHz Mac Mini PPC G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8) 1GB DDR SDRAM

I've experience this same problem multiple times. There is a way to get rid of the troublesome font, thereby getting rid of the annoying message. I may be glossing over a step or two, but it goes something like this:
(1) In the Finder, right click on the Keynote file and select "Show Package Contents"
(2)Locate the index.apxl.gz file and open it. The file exands -- then open the index.apxl file with Textedit (or Word). Throw away the gz file.
(3) Do a search and replace -- find all instances of the troublesome font name and replace it with a non-troublesome font name, such as GillSans
(4) Close the text file.
Opening the Keynote file should now proceed normally. Note: Better practice this on a dummy file until you are sure everything works. I imagine that if you muck up the index file that the orignial Keynote file might be toast!

Default to Legacy Artboard when opening CS3 files in CS5

We recently upgraded to CS5. When opening our CS3 files, we are constantly prompted to convert Artboards.
Is there a way to set “Create Artboards for: Legacy Artboards” as a default on all the stations?
Besides the prompting being annoying every time we open, It is confusing to some of the users.
TIA

Thank you for responding.

Captivate 8 - Issue opening PowerPoint files

I am having an issue opening PowerPoint files with Captivate 8. I am running Captivate on the latest version of OSX on a Mac. And I keep getting a very specific message that states the PPT file is corrupted or outdated. Here is an image with the exact wording:
The problem is all my PowerPoint files receive this message when attempting to upload them into Captivate 8, and some of PPT files were saved using PowerPoint 2013. Both of which, lead me to believe that this is not a damaged PPT or an outdated PPT issue. Can anyone help with this one?

Hi Austin,
Is the issue specific to a particular powerpoint file and other powerpoint files are getting imported properly ?
If yes, can you please email the problematic powerpoint file to me at [email protected]
If the powerpoint file size is huge, please upload it to dropbox.com and email me the download link at the above mail id.

[SOLVED] KDE switches activities when opening a new File

First off, I've been using KDE Plasma Workspaces for a few months now, and for the most part am largely satisfied. Thanks to both the developers of KDE and to the contributors on Arch who made setting everything up a breeze.
One thing that does annoy me however is how it switches Activities when opening a new file, if the default application already has a running instance. For instance, say I have one Activity which I am using as a development environment and have Kate open to view source. Now I switch to a second Activity where I am working on editing style sheets for my web page and again wish to use Kate. If I open Dolphin and click on one of my style sheets (launching Kate as the default editor) I will be switched back to my first Activity and have the style sheet opened in the already running instance of Kate.
To me this behavior is not ideal, I would rather have the DE spawn a new instance of kate for that Activity. I've perused through some of the settings options but haven't seen anything obvious.
Last edited by brewlius_cesar (2013-08-14 10:29:32)

Thanks for the response schmidtbag, but these are both suggestions for opening a file in an existing instance of Kate, when I am looking to instead spawn a new instance (at least for the current Activity). Also, these suggestions are specific to Kate, where I would like this behavior to extend across KDE.
Maybe I am just making a big fuss over nothing, but for me it seems more appropriate to spawn a new instance of a program if I click on a file from a file browser, such as Dolphin. If I wanted to open a file in an already running instance of a program I would use Ctrl+O from that program, or drag the file over to the program as schmidtbag suggested.
I'm thinking about reposting over at kde.org, I'll be sure to follow up back over here, no matter what the outcome is.

Cannot open PowerPoint, Word files

Hello,
When I try to open PowerPoint or Word files, I get a message:
Import Error
The resource "ADWPDefaultLayoutStyleDictionary.xml" couldn't be loaded.
I reinstalled iWork, but it didn't help. Just in case I used the Disk Tool (or however it's called in English) and repaired permissions/authorizations. Still no result.
I know this question has been asked and answered before: (https://discussions.apple.com/message/15064918, https://discussions.apple.com/message/12424085?messageID=12424085), but as I mentioned in my case reinstallation didn't work.
Please help.

Did you try this?:
"Open a file the way you just described, in the upper left corner does appear "Excel" near the black apple? If yes, go to the menu Window --> Zoom Windows (twice if necessary)
Did the window of the file appeared?"
