Help opening powerpoint 2002 presentation on a mac

Hi,
I don't know if this is the right place to post this, but here goes. I have a powerpoint 2002 presentation that I've made on a windows xp pc, and I'm trying to open it on my Mac OS X 10.4.10. The ppt file appears as a white paper for the icon on my desktop. Keynote is the default application that was assigned to open the ppt file. However, my keynote is experiencing problems and is unable to open. If my keynote were working, would it be able to open? If not, where can I find viewers that would enable me to? I need to find out because I am giving a presentation in class on my teacher's computer, which is similar to the one I'm using now.

Keynote should be able to open MS Powerpoint presentations however it does not always display as intended when it is first created in powerpoint. It will always open the presentation however if there are issues then they are mostly related to formatting in my experience. Keynote, no matter what Apple states, is not 100% compatible with presentations created in MS Powerpoint. You state that you are not able to open the presentation at all.... can you open any other presentations created by Powerpoint under Keynote?
There is a Mac viewer availabel from Microsoft site however it is a Powerpoint 98 viewer and may not work with files created by Powerpoint 2002. You may want to try it by downloading from [HERE|http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=e25cb1e5-209c-4a58-b28 3-23e84b616477&DisplayLang=en].
Let me know how this goes.

Help opening PDF in windows 7 in Mac using parallels

HI can anyone help... I recieve this error "Warning: Distiller will not process .PDF or .JDF file extensions" when i try and open a PDF while in windows (v7) via parallels (v8) using my mac (snow leopard).

You can import the contacts from Google to your iPhone by going mail/contacts/calendars and adding the gmail account as a microsoft exchange account instead of the standard gmail setup. Be sure to put m.google.com for the server address and leave domain blank. Once the contacts are on the iPhone, then on to copying them from the iphone to the car's sync my ride system.

Powerpoint can't open Keynote '.ppt' presentations...

Hi,
I've just got MS Office for Mac and while Word is quite happy opening Pages documents I saved as '.doc's, Powerpoint won't open the Keynote presentations I have saved as '.ppt's. I've tried all the workarounds I've come across on the web (exporting, inserting, copying) but none seem to work.
When I try to open the '.ppt' file, the error messages I get are: first, 'Powerpoint can attempt to repair the file. If you trust the source of this file, click Repair.'; second, 'PowerPoint cannot open /Users/username/etc. because part of the file is missing'.
All advice gratefully received.

Everyone is having this problem right now. Seems like there may be more to it than just the grouping issue that laurent commented about. I also read that you need to convert all graphics to RGB instead of CYMK.
I for one, don't understand why it is taking so long for them to get this figured out - they should just convert the images and groups to support PPT - I know MS cares less and will never support us Apple users. Maybe Apple could give us a break on this one...

Does the mail app display whatever is in the document without the ability to differentiate between hidden or non hidden images?
The mail app will not display fillable form fields in PDF files that can be seen in real PDF apps. I say real PDF apps because the form fields in PDF apps will not appear in the iBooks app either. IMO, iBooks is not a real PDF app.
So, I would say that the mail app cannot differentiate between hidden and non hidden items

Is there presenter v10 for Mac, is video Express the same features i.e. Powerpoint etc etc

is there presenter V10 for Mac, is video Express V10 the same features as windows version i.e. Powerpoint etc etc

The Presenter Video Express is a screen and web cam capture tool. The PPT integration and functionality is Widows only.
You may want to look at Captivate, which has both a Mac and Windows version, and can work with PPT content.

Can't open old Numbers spreadsheet after upgrading Mac to Yosemite. Error message says it should first be upgraded to Numbers 09 but doesn't provide method to do so? Help?

Can't open old Numbers spreadsheet after upgrading Mac to Yosemite. Error message says it should first be upgraded to Numbers 09 but doesn't provide method to do so? Help?

There is a chance the spreadsheets were made with a Numbers or AppleWorks version so old that it's not compatible anymore with the latest Numbers version (yes this can happen)

Can anybody help me to open a .dmg file on my MAC OS 9.2.2.

Can anybody help me to open a .dmg file on my MAC OS 9.2.2. the file is a Mac OSX 10.4 Tiger Boot Disk which i would like to run along side OS 9.2.2

Rincewind is correct is saying that DiskCopy 6.3.3 can mount many .dmg images on the desktop (thanks for the correction, R.). He is also correct in saying their contents will generally run only in OS X.
Interestingly, I find by testing that Disk Copy 6.4 and 6.5b11 are unable to mount several .dmgs that 6.3.3 mounts OK.
Trying to install OS X from a disk image that has been burned to disk in OS 9 is going to be a fool's errand, I'm afraid. Buy the correct installer disc set.

Hi, my mail won't open from my dock on my mac and it won't quit so I can't restart. Anyone help?

Hi, my mail won't open from my dock on my mac and it won't quit so I can't restart. Anyone help?

Hello ward886,
Thank you for the question. It sounds like Mail is unresponsive, and you are unable to access it or restart your system. In a situation like this, I recommend force quitting Mail and restarting your computer.
Use one of the following methods to force Mail to quit:
Using the Force Quit feature of OS X makes an application close, even when it is not responsive.
Important: Normally you should not need to force quit an app to close it. When an app is forced to quit, any unsaved changes to open documents are not saved, so try these methods to normally close the app first:
Choose Quit from the app menu. For example, in Safari, choose Safari > Quit Safari.
Choose Quit by right-clicking or control-clicking on an app's icon in the Dock.
If your app does not close using the steps above, use any of these steps to force the app to quit:
Switch to another app, such as the Finder, then choose Force Quit from the Apple menu. Select the unresponsive app in the Force Quit window, and click Force Quit.
Press Command-Option-Esc, then select the unresponsive app from the Force Quit window that appears, and click Force Quit.
Hold down the Control and Option keys on your keyboard, and click the icon of the unresponsive app in the Dock. Select Force Quit from the menu that appears.
Open Activity Monitor from the Utilities folder or the Spotlight menu. Select the unresponsive app in the Activity monitor window. Choose Quit Process from the View menu, or click the Force Quit button in the toolbar of the Activity Monitor window.
If you cannot switch from the unresponsive app, press Command-Option-Shift-Esc for three seconds to force it to quit. This key combination tells OS X to force quit the frontmost app.

Hi Charlotte,
You don't say what your version of Windows you have. Assuming XP, go to Start | Run, type DXDIAG and click OK. Click the Sound tab and run the tests to eliminate a hardware problem first of all. If you don't hear anything, check your cables first of all. Also make sure "Mute" isn't checkmarked in your sound setup. You'll find that in Windows Control Panel.
Which browser do you use? If you have Firefox 4, sign up to the HTML5 trial @ http://www.youtube.com/html5
HTML5 is the latest video standard and doesn't require Flash player. Google is in the process of converting all its files to work with the new format. It may solve you problem. If you don't have Firefox 4, you can get it from here: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/fx/
IE8 doesn't support HTML5.
To clean out your temp files, go to Start | Run, type: CLEANMGR and click OK. Click OK again to start the utility. Tick all the boxes except "Compress old files" because the latter takes too long, and then click OK. You can run this utility any time you wish by the way.
The above steps will hopefully fix your problem. If not, post here again please.
