Can no longer get .pps attachments

Since switching to DSL from modem I can't open .pps attachments. When I try I get the message "Cannot find the application program that created the document named...". I never have had this problem before. Don't know if it's my computer or the DSL...how can I get the application program back?

There are two ways to open .pps files on a Mac. If you have M$ Office, it includes the PowerPoint application. If you don't have Office, you can use the freeware PowerPoint 98 Viewer for Macintosh

If you have either of the two above apps, open the app and then select the .pps file. The file should then open.
 Cheers, Tom

    I can no longer open any attachments that are sent to me. I click on and get cannot preview (but have had this for ages). I am clicking on download and nothing happens. It does not download. I clicked to install a new version after updating and clicking repair. But still the attachments won't open including invoices I have received today. It is all attachments not just pdfs.

    Then most likely it is not caused by Adobe Reader.

  • How do i sync my ipod touch to a new pc, as i can no longer get on my old laptop?

    How do i sync my ipod touch to a new pc, as i can no longer get on my old laptop.

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.
    Have you failed to do this?  not good.
    You can transfer itunes purchases form an ipod:  File>Transfer Purchases
    You can enter a unique contact and calendar entry on the computer.  you should get the option to merge.
    You can import any pics taken with the ipod, and e-mail any pics synced to the ipod to yourself.
    The ipod is not a storage/backup device.  It simply mirrors the selected content of the computer to which you sync.

  • After my OS update I can no longer open email attachments.  What could be the issue??

    After my latest OS update I can no longer open email attachments.  What might be in the issue??

    Quit Mail and restart.
    Select each of your mailboxes and select Rebuild under the Mailboxes menu.
    If those don't help, then reinstall Yosemite:
    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, Mavericks or Yosemite without erasing drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, Mavericks, or Yosemite
    OS X Yosemite- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
         Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                     if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • I can no longer get Firefox to come up on my laptop

    I have windows vista and had an update of firefox last week and since then I can no longer get firefox to load on my desktop. I downloaded it again and still no luck at all. right now I'm using IE which I do not like at all. Can you help me?
    Thanks \Barbara

    Possibly security software or their settings is preventing Firefox downloading, or is blocking its changes and installation. For that and other troubleshooting tips see
    * [[software update failed]]
    * [[firefox does not work]]
    Are you able to locate the Firefox Installer file on your computer. If you need to download it again use
    * http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * and follow instructions for a clean install,
    ** do NOT use any option from Windows or Firefox to delete personal data,that will destroy passwords, bookmarks and other settings. It is the windows program folder that you may need to remove

  • I can no longer get into my WRT150N1.1 router any longer since I switched to Clear

    I switched to Clear wireless a few weeks ago and I can no longer get into my router to change the settings. This is a bummer because I now no longer have a secure connection. 192.168.1.1 no longer accesses the router, and I checked my IP address and it is (for clear I assume) 192.168.15.3. So I tried using 192.168.15.1 and it took me to Motorola WIMX CPE, (which I am assuming is the Clear webpage)
    I am on a Mac running Intel chip. Any help would be appreciated.
    Have tried getting in from my Ipad without any luck.
    Thanks

    The trick to make this work is
    hold down the reset button for about 30 seconds, then unplug the device, while you are still holding down the reset button.
    leave unplugged for about 5 seconds, while you are still holding down the reset button.
    plug the unit back in, while you are still holding down the reset button.
    after about 5 seconds, let go off the reset button.
    go to the webpage of the router.
    Now you can try to access the setup page of your Router, i think this should work and you should be able to access the setup page of your router and able to make the changes on your Router.

  • I can no longer get the column view since installing 12.0.1.26.

    I can no longer get the column view since installing 12.0.1.26. The only thing my iTunes for PC will not display the column view of songs any more  The only thing I have access to is the view that displays the album covers. I used the Help function, followed the procedure several times.  When I click on the music icon, the icon flashes, but does not bring up a menu as shown in the "help" file.

    1) reset the iPad. Hold power home button until screen goes black, apple logo appears-release
    2) delete the app, reinstall.
    3) wait for an update to the app

  • I can no longer get my calendar to send a reminder e-mail for on a date in the future....alerts no problem

    I can no longer get my calendar to send a reminder e-mail for on a date in the future....alerts no problem

    Try turning the account off and on : Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars , then tap the account on the right, slide Mail to 'off', exit settings and go back into the Mail app, and then go back to Settings and slide Mail back to 'on'
    If that doesn't work then try closing the Mail app completely : from the home screen (i.e.not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    Also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • I can no longer get to my e-mail from MY pc computer.

    I can no longer get my e-mail from (MY) PC.  This started happening about a week ago.  I have Win 7 Pro,  IE 9, Icloud 2.1.1.3, and I normally use Thunderbird instead of Outlook.  TB says problem with loging in to server.  I then tried Icloud.com, can log in just fine but when it starts to load mail, a message comes up that says "There was a problem loading the application" and the report message says 'a possible network error or missing resources'.  I can use a different computer and get my mail just fine from Icloud.com.  TB also sends mail just fine.  Can anyone help?

  • I can no longer get my complete bank statements online, and my bank blames the Safari update and tells me to switch to Firefox.  Is there no other solution?

    I can no longer get my complete bank statements online, and my bank blames the latest Safari update and tells me to switch to Firefox.  Is there no other solution?

    I would feel dreadful If I thought had caused you a problem.   The warnings about Java are fully justified but providing you are communicating with a known source, and as I said, you disable it the moment you have finished, you should be safe.
    It might also be worth asking your bank what problem they have and would it be the same if you were using Firefox, for example.
    Like you, I am very security minded, in fact I won't even put my bank details on my Mac let alone run my account that way. 

  • I can no longer get pogo games on my iMac

    I can no longer get pogo games on my iMac.  Please help...

    I experienced this same issue. To fix it-
    Open Java Preferences (in the /Applications/Utilities folder.)
    Under the General tab, check the box marked Enable applet plug-in and Web Start applications.
    Restart Safari or whatever browser you are using to access Pogo.
    Best of luck.
