Apple TV and powerpoint
I am trying to find a way to view my powerpoint presentations on my TV via Apple TV. Is that possible. I have been told that Apple TV only views material from itunes can I put a powerpoint slide show on itunes?
How can I get my slide show to work wirelessly on my TV.
as far as i am aware this is not possible.
you could try exporting your powerpoint presentation as a movie and then encode that for appletv and then import into itunes.
it would simply play as a movie though, so you would have no interactivity controls.

My hard drive failed. My applications were on the drive including Excel, Word, and Powerpoint. Apple told me I could pull everything from the failed drive. I tried that but the drive is bad so I can't get to anything. The Office package was installed/included when I purchased the Mac. Does anyone think Apple will provide me with the Office package? Thank you!
Thank you everyone. I apologize to confusing all but I am up to date and running OS X 10.8.2. It's possible I purchased the key for Office but I don't think so although it was 3-4 years ago. I guess I will stop in the Apple Store and just ask. I may just buy the new bundle anyway to get the most updated.
I have read there are issues with the MS Office bundle running on our latest OS, is that true?
Thank you all!!! You've been great! -
ALERT to the possibility of bad use of FRAUD in FAKES APPLICATIONS to iPad in iTunes Store. I bought two applications: Word Office, and PowerPoint - $20,00 each-, because the advertising announce it's as Productivity Applications, able to work with them and consequently, to write, to save the works, to print, and else. But it's is ABSOLUTELY FALSE because this FAKE APPLICATIONS only PRETEND to be, but really its contains a BUNCH OF TUTORIALS VIDEOS!!!. So if you need applications to write, a make presentations or else, I strongly recommend PAGES, NUMBERS and KEYNOTE, the Apple applications and your money to be save and guaranteed!. I really think that the iTUNES STORE and the APPLEI STORE must to be policy ALL the applications products BEFORE authorized the sell in his official site!.
Is this one of the apps that you bought?
Microsoft PowerPoint 2010 - Be Expert
It may not be completely obvious, but it is, at least, categorized as Education with an, albeit small, disclaimer "(noted: this app is not the PowerPoint from Microsoft)"
The description is accurate, as it is all "What you can know" and "What you can learn" but they probably should use a different icon to avoid confusion. -
I just updated to Lion and my Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint will not open because PowerPC applications are no longer supported. I bought this software from Apple and the store installed it when I bought the MAC. What do I do?
Buy version 2011 of MS Office.
Or you can download OpenOffice, LibreOffice or NeoOffice, which all come very close to working with MS files just like MS Office does.
Or iWord, I have heard, you can purchase. -
I have just taken delivery of my very first MacBook Pro so I am new to all that goes on under the cover. Can anyone tell me how I open the pre-installed programmes which are compatible with Word, Excel and Powerpoint?
ThanksYour welcome, gald to be of help
Welcome to Apple Support Communites and to the Mac, after a little time you will be flying!
Make sure if you have not done so yet to run software update to make sure you MBP is up to date, you can do this by clicking on the Apple logo at the top left on your menu bar, and clicking on Software update.
One other thing that will help you when posting here is to make syre your profile is up to date/correct. You have in your profile as of now your MBP model and year which is freat, but you have for your operating system, iOS(mobile devces) 7.02, which would be for and iPhone, iPad, iPod. Your MacBook Pro operates on OSX (which in your case should be 10.8.5, you can find this info under the Apple logo, About this Mac) having this info available to anyone reading a question post is very helpful for them offer advice/sugesstions that may apply to your particular OSX, as well as eliminating confusion.
Thank you for the green check, by marking your respones it helps other users to find solutions if they are having a similar issue, if you are looking for something, after typing yor question, check the right hand side bar under "More Like This" and sometimes you may find an answer there.
Synergy is a great thing.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities and enjoy your new Mac.
One more suggestion is to purchase AppleCare it will extend your warranty to 3 years and you will also have free phone
in-store/online for the entire period. I have done this with my families machines and found it to well woth the relativly small investment. -
Pages and key note not compatible with word and powerpoint
Dear members
I have received valuable help here, but still pages does not open word documents, I am having problems because I am the only person in my organisation who uses Mac! All the documents are in word format. Yvan kindly helped me and told me to use some tests. I wonder what kind of tests are, I spoke with Apple care, they spent 40 min on the phone doing the following after explaining:
I have a new Mac pro laptop which came as a replacement because the first one had a problem with bluetooh.
The previous Mac pro could open word and powerpoint using pages and key note
When I received the new mac pro I passed the information to the previous one to this one using time machine
I noticed immediately that the new mac pro could not open word using pages
After this I have received snow leopard , installed it , the problem remains
I explained this to the technician on the phone
Then:
put caches on desktop
updated the snow leopard to 10.6.1
created a file and saved as a word file using pages, but pages still not open the same doc created by it
The technician tried to contact a senior member and I was left waiting for 20 min to speak with a senior and never happened, I called again and they did the same
Of course that there is something wrong with my system because the previous faulty mac could open word and powerpoint
Any ideas?
Best Regards
OmarI love iWork, but honestly, if I were the only one in an organization to use a Mac, I would get NeoOffice or Open Office, which are intended to be directly compatible with their Microsoft equivalents. Or, you know, buy MS Office for the Mac.

I just installed Lion to my Powerbook that I purchased in October 2010. My Microsoft Word documents no longer open and my Mac version of Word, Excel and Powerpoint no longer work. What can I do to open all old documents?
Upgrade to Office 2011.
You must be running Office 2004, which was designed to run on PowerPC Macs.
PowerPC apps would run via "Rosetta" on Snow Leopard, but with Lion, Apple has finally pulled the plug on PowerPC apps. -
since a downloaded mavericks 10.9.2 excel and powerpoint flashes in my desktop everytime i switch on my laptop and it takes about 5 minutes to open my laptop
Checked to see how much space is available ??
Click your Apple menu top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac > More Info > Storage
Make sure there's at least 15% free disk space.
Less can cause the problems you are describing. -
i have an ipad mini and have started online course.documents sent to Dropbox. Mixture of word documents, zip files and powerpoint. Need to be able to use documents offline. any suggestions on suitable app that would enable me to transfer documents and work with them off line?
Depends on what you mean by "work with them offline". If you mean store the documents so you can access them if not connected to the internet, you already have it: DropBox.you can download files from the cloud an use them offline. You will need an app to handle the zip files: I use File Manager, but there are others. File Manager also intergrates with dropbox, Google Drive, and iCloud. If you only need to read them, these apps will take care of that for you.
As for editing, there are a few options. All have their limitations.
Some possible apps to look at:
Pages, Numbers (Apple)
Document (by Savy soda)
document 2 go
Quickoffice
CloudOn
Smart Office
Make sure to read botht he descriptions and the reveiws carefully -
I've recently downloaded Lion and find my Microsoft excel, word, entourage and powerpoint do not function. It says these functions are not now supported. Why and how do I get to use them again?

With 1.1.1 update on Sep 2, excel opens and then closes immediately. same with word and powerpoint
with the 1.1.1 update of MS Word, Excel and Powerpoint for the iPad on Sep 2, all of the three open when selected and then close immediately. Using iPad Air
Try this - 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.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

I found My iPhone contacts on my friends Iphone we both have 4s! But we use the same apple ID and ICloud ID! How can undo what happened? all my private stuff is now on his phone!!! help me plz!!?
Of course if you are both connected to the same iCloud account you have the same contacts - what did you expect?. The contacts live on the server and are read from there by the devices; so as you've both managed to sync your contacts up to iCloud they are now inextricably mixed. You can only delete your contacts by deleting individual ones, and doing that will delete them from your phone as well.
You can only unravel this by
1. In the iCloud contacts page at http://icloud.com, select all the contacts, click on the cogwheel icon at bottom left and choose 'Export vCard'.
2. Sign out of System Preferences>iCloud
3. Create a new Apple ID and open a new iCloud account with it for your own use.
4. Import the vCard back into the iCloud contacts page.
5. Go to http://icloud.com and sign in with the original ID. This is now his ID. Work through the contacts individually deleting the ones you don't want him to have. When done sign out and advise him to change his password.
6. Go to the new iCloud account and delete his contacts individually.
Of course if you have also been syncing calendars and using the same email address there are problems with doing this. -
Dear Support Team,
Every time i tried to logon Icloud its gives me wrong user name or password and at the end it show me error " This Apple ID is valid but is not an ICloud Account" then how can i use one account for same Apple ID and ICloud?
ThanksIt is not possible to create a new iCloud account using a Windows machine. You must create the account using a Mac (10.7.5 or more) or an IOS device (iPhone etc). Once that is done you can sign into and use the account on your Windows machine.

I have been an Apple User for almost two decades and have had no problems with my G4 Powerbook, my Intel MacMini, nor several other Macs as well as Windows 7 machines. However, the IPAD2 poses a problem of unfathomable disgust with the concept and implementation of the Apple ID. There is one for the computer, there is one for support, and there is one for itunes, and possibly another one for apps. There are different passwords for each. I am continually faced with notification that my Apple ID is incorrect or the password is incorrect. I have to keep an Excel spreadsheet with all of this unnecessary NANNY State protection matched only in pervasiveness by the Federal government.
I am told that an Apple ID can never be destroyed and replaced. Who dreamed that one up? I am told I cannot use a password that has been used in the past year. Why? By whose authority? I am not a walking encyclopedia that remembers every telephone number he ever dialed. Thankfully my cheap LG clamshell telephone keeps numbers and talks to Ford Sync successfully.
Bottom line is that the IPAD has become almost totally useless since I cannot change the several necessary passwords to anything I can remember because they are not novel enough. I also never seem to be able to keep the Apple IDs straight as they are too numerous to remember and I don't want to remember them anyway. Why? Even if you enventually get the ID right you have the wrong password and have to go through a merry-go-round of emails to change the password to something you have already used in the past year which is not permitted.
Has anyone out there used a competitive device with less cumberson overhead? Surely this is not the best American technology can produce.
Thanks for your comments.
Ray ZacharyThanks to all who responded. You are all absolutely correct. However, this Ipad was a gift to my wife who was dying of cancer in the hospital and wanted some entertainment. So I started it out with her Apple ID. After she passed away I moved from Sacramento to Austin and eventually proceeded to get the Apple ID changed from my wife's to mine. Meanwhile when she was in the hospital I opened an Itunes account in my name to buy movies for her. That was the first mistake.
Then during the move to Austin I lost track of the IPAD and later found it and tried to use support but could not remember the proper ID. Later the folks at the Apple store helped me create a new and novel Apple ID that was unfortunately unlike any other.
The botom line is that I am stuck with three Apple IDs and three passwords. I am told by Apple there is nothing they can do about this as IDs cannot be changed or destroyed. I can quit using them or start a new account but when I try to do that the system keeps remembering too many things from the past and resists.
Even if I sold this Ipad and bought a new one, the system memory is still there.
I think the real problem is that destop and laptop computers are totally owned by an individual and that individual can control logins and passwords to his liking. IPADs and similar Apple products are different in that the corporation has built in their own intrusion detection schemes because of the relation to Itunes.
One thing I thought about is to open a new Itunes account pretendding to be a new customer with my regular Apple ID. Perhaps I could do the same with Apple Support.
Thanks for your comments.
