Can't open .ppt file: "out of memory" error on Mavericks

Hello,
I have a couple of .ppt files that can't open/import in keynote v5.3. It says "import error: out of memory". The files are pretty small, 500kb to 8mb, no videos or music, only images and plain text. I have dozens of free gb.
This error started popping out after I updated to Mavericks a few days ago.
Keynote works fine with other .ppt.
The .ppt can be opened in Power Point (in a Windows PC, I don't have it installed) and with Previews.
I read that if I update to the new iWork the old version is kept in a separate folder. Do you confirm that I can still use both the old and the new version?
What can I do about that?
Thanks for your help.

This error is usually caused by a corrupt ppt file or an incompatible font.
A quick work around is to recreate the presentation in Keynote from scratch using the images copied from the original.

Any assistance
Thanks,

Hi Sasi,
One of the reason for this error is corrupted universe.So you can try following steps and restore copy of universe and then try to import this universe and check whether it works.
1.While importing a universe, a temp file is created in the users local settings temp directory.
2. For example C:\Documents and Settings\brijones\Local Settings\Temp\0dd0b0a7 .
3. File has no extension is relatively the same size as the original universe file.
4.Rename this file to original universe name.
I hope it helps.

Can't open .ppt files in MS Powerpoint for Mac

I recently upgarded to OSX Maveriks 10.9.1 and now have Mail 7.1.
I am receiving .ppt files as email attachments and I want them to open in Micorsoft Powerpoint by default (I have Office for Mac installed). Currently it opens in Keynote and I don't want that to happen. Before I installed Mavericks i was able to do this and opened .ppt files in Keynote only if I wanted to.
Hope I have articulated the problem well and loo fwd to solutions.
Thanks
Rach

Hey Rach0k,
Thanks for the question. You can configure which application will open .ppt documents by following these steps:
OS X Mavericks: Choose an app to open a document
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14279
Permanently change the document’s app
1. Select the document, then choose File > Get Info.
2. In the Info window, click the triangle next to “Open with” to expand the section.
3. Choose an app from the pop-up menu, or choose Other to locate a different app on your Mac. To download and install a new app, choose App Store.
4. If you want to use that app to open all documents of the same type as the current document and created by the same app, click Change All.
Thanks,

No Movie in file-Out of memory errors!

I can't open my file! or related autosave files!
I get :
"no movie in file" and "error: out of memory"
please help!

I have had a similar kind of message when I've had a file passed between soundtrack or live type back to FCP that has become corrupt. If you are getting a name of a particular file that has no movie, you might want to try deleting it - that may give you an offline message, and it should then allow the project file to open.

Can anyone help with an out of memory error on CS2?

Hello,
I have been battling with an out of memory error on a dell laptop running 2gb of ram. I have had no prior issues with this laptop running CS2 until last week when I started getting the out of memory errors. I have seen several articles about this occuring on later versions of illustrator. Just prior to this issue appearing I had to delete and rebuild the main user profile on the computer due to it consistently logging into a temporary account.
Once the new profile was established and all user documents and profile settings were transferred back into it, this problem started showing up. The error occurs when clicking on files listed as Illustrator files, and when opening the illustrator suite. Once I click on the out of memory error it still continues to load illustrator. The files are located on a server and not on the remote computer. I have tried to copy the files to the local hard drive with the same result when I try to open them. I also tried to change the extension to .pdf and got no further. I tried to open a file and recreate the work and all I got was the black outline of the fonts. none of the other artwork appeared. once rebuilt, when trying to save, It gives the out of memory error and does not save the file.
Illustrator was installed on another dell laptop, same model, etc and works fine. no problem accessing network files. I just attempted to use Illustrator from the admin profile on the machine in question and it works fine and lightening fast. Just not from the new rebuilt profile. I have tried to uninstall and reinstall the software. it has not helped. could there be stray configuration settings that we transfered over to the new profile that should not have been?
Any insights will be helpful.
Thank You,
Brad Yeutter

How can I open PPT files on my mac?

I have a MacBook Pro and I was sent some PPT files and want to access them. What do I need to use/download to open them. Thanks in advance. Tom

A 'PPT' file is a Microsoft Powerpoint document. You can open them with PowerPoint for Mac, OpenOffice (and derivatives NeoOffice, LibreOffice, and Oracle Office), Apple Keynote, and Google Docs.
Open Office can be downloaded from OpenOffice.org and it is free.
Google Docs is web-based office suite. While it's a little awkward, it will permit you to import PPT presentations.
Most of them do a good job, but each will fall down with certain types of content. If the presentation contains ActiveX controls, they won't work on the Mac. Macros won't tend to work in anything but PowerPoint itself. Your mileage will vary on audio/video and embedded web content. There are also differences in transitions and animation between products that give peculiar results when going from one to the other.
If the presentation is a fairly typical one, however, all of the above will do a fair job of displaying it.

How can I solve out of memory error on excell file in PL/SQL

Hi,
I'm new on PL/SQL. One of the PL/SQL code which is created excell report got out of Memory error. The first reason of this error, excell file not supported more than 65536 data. So I change the excell file separeted sheets. So that the single sheet size cannot exceed 65536 data.
All the data are held on system cach and if many user want to take the report the they would get an out of memory error.
So I want to change the code like that; when out of memory exception raises,
the old excell file save to disk and new excell file is created,
and go on to write the new file without exiting the program.
At the end of the data all the excell file append and show only one file to the user.
I do know how to save the file and create a new file. But I don't know how can PL/SQL program to turn back to loop again when the exception occurs.
Is anyone help me on this issue?
Here is my code
Thank you
dworkbook:=hssfworkbook.new;
dCurrentItem := Get_Block_Property(pCurrentBlock, FIRST_ITEM);
while not (name_in('system.last_record')='TRUE') loop
/* The data would be written to the excell file column order. */
if (dRow=0) then
          /* Create a new sheet */

     /* Data of the report are written here. The data are written in column order */
if (dRow > dMaxWorksheetNum) then
     /* give dRow and dColumn intial value */
/* increase worksheet number */
end if; /* End of if (dRow=1) */

     /* if not at the end of the record and the previously read record is written to the file
