How do I delete "You can't open the application Adobe Reader Updater Helper because PowerPC..."

How do I delete "You can't open the application Adobe Reader Updater Helper because PowerPC applications are no longer supported." I have Mac w/ Lion and this message pops-up constantly. I would like to stop it from poping up? Any suggestions?

I bought a canon EOS Rebel T5i. It came with photoshop elements 11. PS won't open my C2 raw files and says my camera isn't supported by the software I have downloaded 7.4 dng converter and I still can't open the files. What do I need to do?

You need camera raw 8.4 for your camera, if it’s Digital Rebel T5 EOS 1200D EOS Kiss X70. It is not compatible with PSE11; so it’s a bit odd if that software was bundled with the camera except that it will work with jpegs. I suggest you download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your CR2 files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the DNG files will editable in PSE11(keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)
Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.4
You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

When creating a PDF from a PPT or Keynote application on a Mac using Acrobat X Pro, how do I ensure it can be opened on a PC? Do I need to save as a particular version of Acrobat?

When creating a PDF from a PPT or Keynote application on a Mac using Acrobat X Pro, how do I ensure it can be opened on a PC? Do I need to save as a particular version of Acrobat?

The system was not my own, it was on a PC belonging to the school where I teach. The error message referred to Acrobat 9.0, so I assume that the problem is to do with the version on which the file was created being more recent than that on which I attempeted to open it.

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.

After converting to numbers I can't open xls files

I get the following message: "You can't open the application Microsoft Excel because PowerPC applications are no longer supported." I don't see why it wouldn't automatically convert this as my .doc files get coverted in Pages. Does this mean I've lost access to all of my spreadsheets that I created with the Excel???

If you drag an Excel file onto the Numbers icon, it doesn't open in Numbers?
The error message you're seeing is because your iMac's been upgraded to the Lion OS, and the Lion OS doesn't support PPC applications.
You've got a couple of choices:
1. You can spend the $100 or so to upgrade to Microsoft Office for Mac 2011, which, by the way, includes a free update to the next version of Office for Mac.
2. You can convert all of the Excel files to Numbers. Be aware, though, that there may be some formatting changes made during the conversion.
I'm not at my Mac right now, but there is a way to associate files with a given application. It involves right-clicking the file, choosing Get Info, then changing something in the resulting window. Unfortunately, I can't provide the exact wording just now.
I hope this helps.

Computer thinks AW text docs are presentations. Can't open WP docs.

I just updated to Snow Leopard. No good deed goes unpunished. Now I can't open any Apple WP documents. The system thinks they are presentations. Specifically, message says. e.g. "[doc name].cwk not a presentation." I need to open these documents. I haven't yet tried AW database or spreadsheet docs. Thanks for any help.

Looks like you have iWork installed, and your Mac is attempting to open the file using Keynote.
If you do have AppleWorks installed as well, right-click on one of the files and choose Get Info. In the Get Info window, go to Open With... and choose AppleWorks from the pop-up menu. Click Change All.
Close the Info window and double click the file's icon.
If you have not installed Rosetta, OS X will prompt you to do so. You will need your Snow Leopard disk to do this. Insert, then follow the prompts.
If you do NOT have AppleWorks installed, you have a number of choices to make depending on which type of document you need to open, and what software you already have installed.
AppleWorks WP, SS and PR documents can be opened with Pages, Numbers and Keynote respectively.
For AppleWorks DR and PT documents, you will need third party software, such as EazyDraw.
AppleWorks DB documents can be opened only by AppleWorks.
For DB documents you will have to install AppleWorks (and Rosetta) as recommended in a previous post,
For DR and PT documents, you will need to install AppleWorks (and Rosetta), or a third party application.
If you do NOT install Appleworks, and do have iWork installed, choose a file (with the .cwk extension), Get info, and set it to open with Pages, Numbers or Kewynote, depending which type of file you are most likely to be opening (WP, SS or PR), then click Change All.
You will then be able to open your most common type of AW file by double clicking. Other types will continue to give the "This is not a XXXX file" message, but can be openied by right clicking on the file and choosing Open with... then choosing the appropriate iWork application.

Barry

Error message when trying to convert powerpoint presentation to Adobe Acrobat PDF

When trying to create an Adobe Acrobat PDF file from Powerpoint (save as Adobe PDF from the Print menu), Automator gives the following error message: "an error occurred while saving the PDF file". Currently using version 14.4.6 of Microsoft Powerpoint for Mac, 11.0.09 Adobe Acrobat and OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 on iMac. Also had the same problem previously with Mavericks and Mountain Lion. The problem seems to be the Apple Automator not working correctly with the Acrobat interface. I create Acrobat PDF docs perfectly well on my MacBook Pro (OS X 10.7.5) and am scared to update to the latest version of OS X in case that also affects the ability to create PDFs.
I have tried using Apple's own PDF creator, and doing this by first creating PS files then converting to PDF, however, many bugs appear in the files, and they are enormous - around 5x the size of Acrobat PDFs, so this is not an option. I have also tried troubleshooting with Adobe to no avail.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Jane

Hi star2111,
Please tell us a bit more about the error message that you're receiving, and where you're seeing it (in Adobe Reader, or the ExportPDF website?). It will also be helpful to know whether the error occur when just one file, or with any file that you try to convert.
I look forward to hearing back from you.
Best,
Sara

Problems with Converted PowerPoint Presentation in Keynote

Hello,
I recently loaded a 29Mb Powerpoint file into Keynote on my 64Gb iPad 2. Whenever I launch Keynote, the 29 Mb presentation loads automatically and I cannot access any of my other Keynote presentations. I've tried powering off and stopping the Keynote app to no avail. In addition, I cannot load the Keynote Menu options at the top of the screen while my 29 Mb presentation is active. Has anyone else encounted this type of behavior in Keynote when converting large Powerpoint files on an iPad?
Thanks.

Thank you for your reply. I agree with you that it seems the GB iLife preview file is not updating as one would expect it to. Sharing the file to iTunes then importing to Keynote does work, without all the extra preferences changing and the extra save. I would think that as more people switch to Keynote from PowerPoint, those who like the ability to sync slide groups to multiple audio files will find GarageBand a great way to do this. But the export of edited files from GB to Keynote should be easier.

HT1151 when I connect my macbook pro to a dell projector I find the images are not clear during powerpoint presentation. Can anyone make suggestion to improve this. all the writing is very clear

I have a macbook pro which I purchased last november. It works perfect except the images I have in powerpoint do not get displayed clearly.

What is the model identifier for the MacBook Pro? Do NOT give us the serial number.

How come with v4 I can't open a page that was saved to hard drive?

I have pages saved on my hard drive that I have opened many times with previous version of FF. Now, when I try to open them I get an error message about it not being found. I have even tried re-saving them from V4, but they still will not open in FF V4. Note, they open just fine in IE, sorry.

It's a well known behavior which Jerrold and me described here some weeks ago.
I reported the bug to Apple but it seems that the engineers working upon the AppStore don't know the specs of the different kinds of iWork applications.
They are three kinds :
(1) applications resulting of the trial version + a bought registration code
(2) applications resulting of the instal thru a bought DVD
(3) applications bought thru the AppStore.
The appStore application is able to recognize the case 3.
Given what you wrote, it seems that it recognize case 2.
Given what Jerrold and me reported here, it doesn't recognize case 1.
In the first version, the app was fool enough to treat iWork '08 as bought 09 ones for a task
but make the difference for an other task.
This foolish thing (I'm listening Lester Young) was killed by the late update.
Of course, Jerrold's and my own versions are legal and up to date.

How come 5.0 can't open local desktop images files (.jpg, .tif, .png ...) on my Mac anymore?

I'm using Mac 10.6.8 and the newest version of Firefox 5.0. I have always been able to select File > Open File from the Firefox menu and select any image file on my computer and view it in the browser window. Suddenly I can't do this. All image files on my system are greyed out and not accessible. I can open html files from my local desktop and all images are present but can't open any .css files or single image files.

Here's the *.tiff file.
I've had to switch browser to Safari, as you can't load a tiff in Firefox, either.

Batch Convert PowerPoint to Movies file name issue

I need to batch convert powerpoint presentations to movie. But the save option forces me to use the same name on every movie. I want it to just save the presentation with the same file name. So if the powerpoint is:
MyPresentation.ppt
then the movie should be
MyPresentation.mov
How can I do this?
Here is a screenshot of the workflow.

Okay, so I tried ditching automator and doing the convert movie parts via applescript. This is what I tried but it gives me an automator error -212 (apparently on the first "perform action") saying "expected end of line, found property":
Any ideas on how to get the script to work with autmator (I tested a modified version of this script outside autmator and it does work for a single file).
on run {input, parameters}
-- Use the "Make Movie..." command in PowerPoint to make a QuickTime movie
          tell application "System Events"
                    tell application "Microsoft PowerPoint"
launch
open input
                              set frontmost to true
                              set theNameOfPresentation to title of last window
-- Click on the Save as Movie... command in the File menu
                              perform action "AXPress" of menu item "Save as Movie..." of menu 1 of menu bar item "File" of menu bar 1
                              repeat until ((exists of sheet 1 of window theNameOfPresentation) is true)
                              end repeat
-- Enter the name of the Presentation
                              set value of text field 1 of sheet 1 of window theNameOfPresentation to theNameOfPresentation & ".mov"
                              delay 2
-- Click on the Save button
                              perform action "AXPress" of button "Save" of sheet 1 of window theNameOfPresentation
                              delay 2
close input
                    end tell
          end tell
          return input
end run

Converting Powerpoint to Keynote-no sound

Anyone have any tips on converting Powerpoint presentations to Keynote ones? When I open an existing PP pres in Keynote, the sound does not appear to come with it. Any thoughts as to how to solve? Thanks all!

Loandogs,
This might not be a universal solution but it worked for my files.
David Firth on August 11 07 gave the best hint to go to
http://www.eggheadcafe.com/software/aspnet/30319539/why-no-sound-track-using.asp x
There, the July 21 07 follow-up of Steve Rindsberg was right.
In short: Use Audacity to open your pps or ppt file, export to WAV, insert the WAV in your Keynote file.
