FileVault and PowerPoint 2008 Problems (Can't open presentations)

Hey guys, I am on a Macbook Pro (current gen) and just enabled filevault yesterday for my homefolder. Now I am not able to open my powerpoint presentations for school and I am not sure why?
I have seen people having problems like this, but no work around?
Thanks

I have the same problem too with PowerPoint and Excel files. If you save those files to the root hard drive you can open them but while they are stored in the Filevault account, they won't open. I've reported this issue on the MS forum.
I believe it is an MS issue because Word documents will open and save just fine.

Filevault and PowerPoint 2008, Excel 2008

Hi,
Since I got no answer from Microsoft, I thought I try my fellow Mac Users.
My Company requires FileVault be activated on all Mac laptops. With 10.5.x and Filevault enabled, we can not save Excel 2008 or PowerPoint 2008 documents. Word 2008 documents works just fine.
I have tried all versions of Office 2008, 12.0, 12.1, all the way to the current 12.1.4. Same problem occurs.
Anyone have the same experience? Any solutions?
Thanks in advance,
Ed

I have no solution, but I have no such problem even though I work in a corporate environment that uses FileVault. The IT department configures FileVault, however, and it is possible that your company has not enabled something it needs to. It should be easy for your company's IT person to test whether the problem really has to do with FileVault [try a machine with FV off] and, if it does, whether it relates to the configuration [e.g., by using the built-in FileVault with its most permissive setting].
Although I have not experimented with NeoOffice and OpenOffice recently, I am always suspicious about compatibility claims. Even when compatibility is "very good," it is not perfect and the exceptions can bite. Personally, I prefer using Mellel (or Pages) for writing, and Keynote for presentations, but I would never claim more than pretty good compatibiity. Problems can arise, e.g., with respect to graphics, footnotes and endnotes, unusual fonts, and so on. They may be "minor," but not if you don't catch them. Conclusion: get your IT folks to track down the problem.

I get above message when I click on the firefox icon.

This worked, I used the method described in this link http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=365156, and opened the Mozilla profile screen with the terminal on my mac, using the language given in the links. Then I duplicated my original profile to save the bookmarks, etc. Put them in a folder listed Duplicate profile with the date. With the open profile screen, I deleted my original profile, created new profile folder and then a new profile. Note that profile cannot be created in the system library, it must be created on the disc, because the library will not allow writing into it. After I created my new profile folder, I dragged all my old information into it, and it worked. Firefox closed and the error disappeared. You must be VERY careful to make sure Firefox is closed anytime you are doing anything with the profile folders. I think that is what caused my original problem.

Please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Test after each one. Back up all data before making any changes.
1. Make sure that the right volume is selected in the Startup Disk preference pane.
2. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to start up. If there's no change, reconnect them
3. Reset the System Management Controller.
4. Reset the PRAM.
5. Start up in safe mode, then restart as usual. If you can't start in safe mode—for instance, if FileVault is active—then triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/var/folders
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu. A Finder window should open with an item named "folders" selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You'll be prompted for your administrator password. Restart and empty the Trash.

Just got a Nikon D610 and CS5 for Mac can't open the images -- message says installed version of camera raw doesn't support the camera. Downloaded the Raw 6.2 update for Mac, but installation failed. Now what?

The D610 didn't get out-of-the-box RAW support until Photoshop CC.
You can either upgrade to CC or use the DNG Converter to convert and open your DNGs in CS5.

I recently up dated my OS to 10.7.3 and I get a "can't open application because PowerPC applications are no longer supported. Can this be restored? If not do you know if Epson has drivers for my scanner that work around this?

You cannot run PPC software in Lion. Go to Epson's website to see if they have an updated scanner driver. If they don't then you can try using VueScan if it supports your scanner model.

Reset your iPad. Press and hold both the power and home buttons for 10-15 seconds till the Apple logo appears. Release both buttons. Wait 15-20 seconds till you iPad starts on it's own. Now try and download an app.

Use any number of free alternatives to your nearly decade old version of MS Office.
Consider
LibreOffice (donation-supported)
NeoOffice (free)
OpenOffice (free)
In addition to the above I also recommend Apple's Pages ($19.99). I use OpenOffice and Pages and have been completely Microsoft - free for years. Life is better without Microsoft.

Multiple problems: can't open two windows, browser doesn't close although window disappears, and after working for a while I loose my ability to cut and paste or use drop down arrows

Maybe two weeks ago I discovered that I could no longer open two windows at a time (I can still open multiple tabs). I am also having problems with cutting and pasting, which is crucial to my on-line job. Plus, when I exit Firefox, it doesn't always shut down, so then when you go to re-open, of course, it won't (unless you go into process and turn it off). I have re-installed multiple times and I have also used restore. Nothing seems to be fixing this and I really, really don't want to use IE, especially for work.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Maybe also do a malware check with a few malware scan programs.<br />
You need to use all programs because each detects different malware.<br />
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.<br />

Leopard 10.5.2 Update and Powerpoint 2008 performance

Anyone having performace problems with Powerpoint 2008 under 10.5.2?
I updated to 10.5.2 with no problems (that I know of) and everything seems to work fine except it now takes 10-15 seconds to open Powerpoint 2008 from the time that is displays the intro splash for Powerpoint. There is no performance problem with either Word or Excel - they open as fast as before 10.5.2. I'm wondering if it was something in the update or perhaps the subsequent Leopard Graphics update.
Any ideas or help??

Just an update, but no solution - I decided to try a reinstall of Office 2008 to see if that fixed the problem. I even went as far as restarting between deleting the old install and beginning the new one. I also did a custom install and chose not to install Microsoft fonts, since they are already installed and I wanted to make sure I did not create any duplicate font problems.
Result was the same performance problem when starting up Powerpoint. What makes it really frustrating is that I'm not even opening an existing presentation. I'm just starting the program and waiting for a blank, untitled presentation.
Hopefully we'll hear something soon...

Mess with accounts in OneNote and OneDrive for Business - can't open documents from Office 365

Hello!
[Reposted from
here]
I've got Office 365 subscription (E3) with Office.
I can view and edit OneNote notebooks on Office 365 via browser, but can't open it in OneNote.
The similar problem exists for OneDrive for Business - some libraries are syncing, some cannot - asking for Enter credentials, but when I click - nothing happens.
There were two accounts bound to Office 2013 - personal Microsoft ID as primary account and corporate Office 365 linked to it.
Windows 8.1 corporate profile is linked to Microsoft ID account as well.
Something happen with these accounts after password was changed - it seems like some account information was cached and can't be cleaned.
I tried to uninstall Office and install it - no success.
I cleaned computer with
this utility from Support - no luck.
On other Windows 8.1 computer I created new profile (with Microsoft ID account) - surprise, there are problems there as well.
I deleted all Office15 entries from Credentials Manager - Office asked me about Office 365 login/password - I entered them, it is syncing, Haliluja, but, when Microsoft ID account was linked to Office 365 account in Office - problem appears again.
It seems that Office 2013 uses Microsoft ID credentials for Office 365 content.
I'd like to use Microsoft ID as primary account for Office and link Office 365 account to it, but don't want such problems. It worked fine, but I don't know what happened and how it can be analyzed and fixed.
Update: It seems I localized the problem, but still don't know the solution.
Scenario to reproduce error for me:
1. Create fresh new Corporate/Domain user profile on Windows 8.1 with Office Pro 365 installed on computer with latest updates
2. Go to SharePoint Online and browse some Libraries and OneNote notebooks - all ok
3. Start to sync them using OneNote and OneDrive for Business - ok
4. Link Microsoft Account with Corporate Account in Windows 8.1 - ok
5. Syncing of _some_ (not all) Office 365 libraries and notebooks stop working - errors with access, permissions. I'm trying to enter credentials but this doesn't help
6. Disconnect Microsoft Account and Reboot - all libraries and notebooks of Office 365 work fine again. But OneNote notebooks from OneDrive stop working :)
How I can fix this situation and have Microsoft and Corporate account connected?

Update 2:
I installed PowerShell for SharePoint online cmdlets and found this user using get-SPOUser.
I removed this user using remove-SPOUser -site
https://mysitename.sharepoint.com -LoginName
[email protected]
but when I'm trying to access sharepoint from the browser with Microsoft account credentials - new record for this user is created again and I can see it with get-SPOUser :(
So, problem is still not solved - this user is still can be authenticated (there is no such user in SharePoint site collection, there is no such user profile) and Office 2013 syncing doesn't work for Office 365 due this mess with accounts.
I know that I can remove Sharing with external users from Site Collection and information about these users will be permanently deleted - but I don't want to do this, there are several customers who work with our documents.
