How do I get microsoft powerpoint to play on my imac?

A friend of mine has sent me a microsoft powerpoint presentation that he created on his PC. I am trying to open it and play it on my iMac but rather than being able to click through each slide with the various lines that appear one at a time, instead when I click it simply moves to the next slide, without loading the several lines that should appear each time I click for that particular slide.
Any thoughts?....

How do I get video clips to play on my iMac account? My wife doesn't have this problem on her iMac account.

When I try to download and play a video clip at a web site or from an attachment to an email, I get either a blank space or a message telling me to download and install Abobr Flash Player. I already have the latest Flash Player. And when I try the same video clip on my wife's iMac account, the video clip plays perfectly.

I found the solution to my problem, so now I can play video clips at web sites & attachments to email. The solution was: "Safari → Preference → Security → check box "Enable plug-in". I got a hint from Troubleshooting on the Yahoo.com web site. Thanks everyone.

How do you find Microsoft Powerpoint for MAC?

How do you purchase Microsoft Powerpoint for the MAC?

With a credit card, normally, but I get the impression this isn't what you're asking.
Get it from your favorite place that sells software...?
Why do you want it? Keynote is much better, and will open PowerPoint slides. You buy Keynote from the App Store.

Some of the songs I have downloaded onto i tunes won't play when I select it to do so. The error message I get is "The song could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" How can I get my songs to play?

Some of the songs I have downloaded into i tunes won't play when I select it to do so. The error message I get is "The song can not be used because the original file can not be found. Would you like to locate it?" When I select yes I'm sent to a screen that has my i tunes library listed. When I select the song in question I'm asked if I would like to open the song. When I select this option I get nothing. The songs I have downloaded must be somewhere because they are listed in my i tunes library and on the screen I've been sent to. I can't the songs to play however. This is not true of all of my songs but it is true of quite a few of them. Actually, one song is too many. How do I get my music to play that seems to be locked up somewhere in the computer?

Presuming they're on your computer, right click on them and then follow the prompts to locate hte file on your computer.

Hey vlasta4444,
It sounds like you'll want to change the time it takes for the computer to goto sleep from System Preferences> Energy Saver.

I ordered several downloads on iTunes and one of the song says I authorized on 5 computers and that is false. How do you get the song to play?

iTunes
How do you get a download to play if the song says you have downloaded it on 5 computers? I don't even own 5 computers. This is my first expierience with iTunes dowloads.

For other music you need to get them from where you got them before.

How do I get my ipod to play a playlist from reverse order? (Start with recently added song instead of first added)

How do I get my ipod to play a playlist from reverse order? (Start with recently added song instead of first added)
So I'm adding new songs to a very old playlist? Is there anyway that when I add them, they automatically go to top of playlist? How about getting one song to the top of a playlist. That drag to arrange function is very annoying because it is slow and the playlist does not scroll up very well on a PC.

Make a new playlist by pressing the little plus button at the very lower left corner of iTunes. An new playlist will appear in the Source pane called "untitled playlist". While the name is highlighted, you can change it to whatever you want. Drag all of the tracks from all the albums that comprise a single book to that playlist. Sync that playlist to your iPod.

Can I get Microsoft Powerpoint on iPad 2? PLEASE HELP!

Hi whoever is reading this, (hopefully someone who can help me)
I'm doing a presentation and I was wondering if it was possible to get Microsoft Powerpoint on iPad 2? If not, Keynote is like Powerpoint, right? If it is, can you put pictures and photos on to Keynote that are saved on your Mac? Like, insert photos saved on your Mac into a slide?
PLEASE ANSWER!!!!!!!! IN DESPERATE NEED OF HELP!!!! DUE ON THE 25TH OF MARCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (It's for a Chinese school).

Microsoft haven't made app versions of any of their office programs, so you can't get Powerpoint itself.Keynote supports Powerpoint files, as do :
Documents To Go Premium (on-line help here)
and
QuickOffice HD (they have a manual for their app here)

How can I get an album to play in order on Itunes? The songs keep skipping all around to other albums that I did not want to listen to at that time?

How can I get an album to play in order on Itunes? The songs keep skipping all around to other albums that I did not want to listen to at that time?

It sounds like you might have the shuffle button at the bottom left of the iTunes (the button with the squiggly lines).
If that's not the case, then maybe you just need to sort your library by album by clicking the album tab at the top.
Is your music in a playlist, or are you trying to play it from the entire library?

I have a iphone 4s and it does not play my itunes music after the last update. Only downloaded music plays. How do I get my library to play?

When playing my i-tunes library through my hi-fi via Airport Express, how can I get i-tunes to play a single album and then stop, without continuing on through my entire library. It's a problem that doesn't occur when I'm listening through my i-pod.

Hey everyone in Apple world!
I figured out how to fix the flashing yellow screen problem that I've been having on my MBP! Yessssss!!!
I found this super handy website with the golden answer: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
I followed the instructions on this page and here's what I did:
Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
I went through the 6 steps above twice, just to make sure I got rid of whatever stuff was holding up my bootup process. Since I did that, my MBP boots up just like normal. No flashing yellow screen anymore!!
(Note that I arrived at this solution when I first saw this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570?viewlocale=en_US)
Let me know if this works for you!

How can I get my iPod to play noise when it says my headphones are in but they arnt and I can't get it to play music with out my headphones in ?

How can I get my sound to play my iPod says my headphones are in all the time and they arnt so it will only play sound when my headphones are in

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack or other hardware problem..
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
Apple - iPod Repair price
A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.
iPhone Repair, Service & Parts: iPod Touch, iPad, MacBook Pro Screens
Replace the jack yourself

How do you get the sound to play on the tv from your macbook

I connected my macbook to my tv using a HDMI cord. I'm trying to watch netflix but the sound plays from my macbook. How do you get the music to play from the tv instead.

The adapter to HDMI doesn't carry sound from a MacBook earlier than the Mid 2010 models and most TVs don't have separate RCA input plugs for audio with the HDMI inputs since they expect the sound to be carried by the HDMI plug. With HDMI you'll need to use external speakers or headphone jack to RCA sound plugs connected to a stereo sound system if your TV doesn't have separate RCA input plugs for audio with the HDMI plug.

How can you get 2 videos to play simutenously together?

How can you get 2 videos to play simutenously together so both are playing side by side on screen at the same time?

Welcome to the forum.
As Steve observes, what you are talking about is called "PiP," or Picture in Picture.
He has given you the basics of creating a "split-screen" PiP, and that should be exactly what you wish to do.
For more detail, plus more ways to do PiP, I strongly recommend his book, Cool Tricks & Hot Tips for Adobe Premiere Elements 11, from Muvipix. He has an entire chapter (Chapter 10) on PiP, and many of its uses, with detailed instructions on the settings to accomplish it. Just that one chapter is worth the price of the book.
Good luck, and happy editing,
Hunt
