How do i get powerpoint and word stuff on my computer

how do i get powerpoint and word to work on my new computer ( MacBook Pro )

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You have to install Office for Mac > http://www.microsoft.com/mac It's the same as Office for Windows, but ported to OS X. It has got a different interface, so give time to learn it. It reads the existing Office documents you have, and the files you can create can be used in any PC with Office.
There are also alternatives:
- Apple iWork. It's Apple's Office version, with Pages, Numbers and Keynote. Available at the Mac App Store.
- LibreOffice. Free and open-source, works with Office documents.
I recommend you to give LibreOffice a try. It gives you everything you need and it's free

  • How do i get ads and pop ups off my computer?

    Mac Book Pro
    Processor 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Version 10.0.1
    How do I get ads and pop ups off my computer?

    Your question is one that tends to bring out the worst of all the bad advice that infests this site. There is, in fact, no need to download anything to solve the problem.
    You may have installed one or more of the common types of ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it. It's been reported that some variants of the "VSearch" malware block access to the page. If that happens, start in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime, then try again.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
    If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, ask for further instructions.
    Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. It may have come from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
    Malware is also found on websites that traffic in pirated content such as video. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
    In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere  should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
    Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
              Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
    or
              Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
    if it's not already checked.

  • Somehow my iTunes app has been put into the trash.  How can I get this and all of the stuff that was in it back to my Application folder?  I try to drag it out of trash, but it won't work.

    Somehow my iTunes app has been put into the trash.  How can I get this and all of the stuff that was in it back to my Application folder?  I try to drag it out of trash, but it won't work.

    Also, when I do try to drag it out of the Trash to put it back into Applications (on the Finder sidebar), it asks me to authenticate with the administration password.  I enter it, and then a window appears saying that I can't do that because I do not have permission to modify iTunes.  Please help.

    That generally has to do with data corruption.   Is your data backed up?

  • How do I get a MS Word doc from my mail's inbox to Pages so I can change it?

    How do I get a MS Word (or MS Excel) doc from my mail inbox on the iPAD to the Pages (or Numbers) app so it can be changed or modified?

    From the iPad manual (http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipad) :
    Open an attached file: Tap the attachment to download it to iPad and then open it. If iPad doesn’t support the format of an attached file, you can see the name of the file but you can’t open it.
    Open an attached file with a different app: Touch and hold the attachment, then choose an app. If you don’t have any apps that can open the attachment, you can view it, provided it’s a file type that iPad supports.

  • Xcelsius exporting capabilities to Powerpoint and Word with Windows vista

    I have recently bought a license for Xcelsius Present 2008 Full Product.
    I have Windows Vista in my computer with the version of MS Office is 2003.
    My problem is that the features of exporting Xcelsius visualizations to powerpoint and Word don't work at all.
    Any advice about how to solve this????

    Hi,
    When you want to export to PowerPoint then do not launch Xcelsius 2008 from the shortcut icon on the desktop or start menu.
    Instead, run the main executable, located at the following path: C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Xcelsius\Xcelsius.exe
    Then re-publish to PowerPoint and the model should then embed in the slide, you may still then have to go into slideshow-mode, right-click and choose play...
    If it is helpful, please let me know. Thanks.
    Sammi

  • I have installed Adobe packages and cannot find the Acrobat extension folder please advise how can I get these applications to load onto my computer?

    I have installed Adobe Creative Cloud for teams CC Packages which says that Acrobat XI Pro is installed. Your support page says it does not install Acrobat and I have to look in the Extensions folder for an MSI file.  I have run a number of searches and  cannot find the Acrobat extension folder please advise how can I get these applications to load onto my computer?
    Also I now administer the teams and have accepted the invitation to I received to be a team member and download the apps.  The admin page shows that I have been sent an invitation but does not show my account as "ACtive" unlike my other team members.  I tried to use the link in the invite to accept it become active but the link displayed an error saying I had already accepted the invite... why is no account not active?
    Finally what other product downloads in Creative Cloud do not actually download as part of the Creative cloud Packager for downloading the apps? e.g. acrobat and what else?

    My apologies Eadeszoo I believe our support agents are unavailable on January 1.
    Are you able to copy the contents of the DVD to your computer?  Are you receiving any particular error messages when you are trying to install?  Finally which operating system are you using?

    How do I get Video and Audio Chats with PCs ? iChat FAQ 3 (Updated 7/12/2008)
    Applies to iChat 2.x, iChat 3.x and iChat 4.x to any version of AIM on a PC before AIM 6.1
    This piece is designed for those trying to connect Mac to PC for Video and Audio chats. Any iChat version Panther and up.
    Glossary For This FAQ
    This bit is designed for clarity.
    Video is the sending and /or recieving of pictures and sound.
    Audio is the sending and or receiving of sound only.
    One-Way is the ablity to start either an Audio or Video chat from one end to a receipient who can not match your capabilities (or Vice Versa)
    What is needed
    At the Mac end
    A Mac running OS 10.3.x and iChat AV ver 2.1 or 10.4 plus iChat 3 or Leopard and iChat 4
    A DSL/Cable/Fibre (Broadband) connection of at least an up link speed of 256kbs.
    An AIM , @mac.com or MobileMe (@me.com) account name.
    (hosting Multiple person Mac to Mac AV chats requires higher specs and broadband uplink speed).
    At the PC end
    1 PC running windows XP (home or Pro). THIS A MUST
    The AIM Standalone Application, currently at ver. 5.9 at this link. AIM (the Site) now call this version Classic and it cannot be Installed On Vista
    Note: there is also Trillian which has a Pro version for $25 that can also Video and Audio chat. The Basic version just Texts and Audio Chats (AIM does not Audio chat)
    Some need the aimrtc12.exe file from Here Mostly Earlier than XP or Pre Service Pack 2 XP versions of Windows
    Note: It has been noted that this file is now apparently included in Windows XP after Service Pack 2 and above.
    An AIM account/screen name (AOL or Netscape count as well)
    Service Pack 2 info. This info will allow the PC user to enable AIM thorough the XP Firewall. The Windows Firewall did not exist as such before this
    Between both of you.
    At least one camera (Mac end)
    A sound input device (the camera, if it has one is ok)
    Your Buddies screen/account name in each others Buddy Lists
    Other tweaks
    For some people, using AIM on a PC, may also have to make sure their preferences (properties) are set in the AIM Buddy list, for their camera and /or Mic. (Tuning at Message 570)
    This is an icon button lower right on the Buddy List marked "Prefs" (AIM 5.5). This leads to the Preferences. Drop down the list until you read Live Video. Click on this. In the new window that opens click the button that says Tuning Video and Audio. Follow the instructions in the wizard that opens up. Access in AIM 5.9 for this is in the My AIM menu at the top of the Buddy list and then Options
    To Start
    You should now be able to chat to each other.
    If each of you has a camera it can be full Video , as described in the Glossary at the top.
    To start from the Mac end, select (highlight) your Buddy with one click. His camera icon should be dark. Click on the icon near his name or the one at the bottom of the Buddy List. (You do not have to start a text chat).
    To start from the PC end you need to start a text chat, then select the Video icon at the bottom of the chat window.
    If one of you has a camera and the other has a Mic then you will be able to chat One Way but have sound will be both ways.
    To start this type of chat from the Mac end you will have to go to the menu item "Buddies" and drop down to the item "Invite to One Way Video Chat"
    To start this from a PC follow the directions in the pargraph above. You may need to change the tab to the incoming Video at the back of the two to see the Video. These tabs are added when the Video chat starts and the front one normally states you do not have a camera and shows a connection to buy one.
    It is also possible to chat One Way if the other person does not have a Mic: replies will have to be typed in a Text chat.
    No Camera and No Mic will cause iChat to End the chat with "No Data Received for 10 Secs"
    Summary
    For any sort of sound to a PC using AIM, (Talk in PC or Audio in iChat) the Mac will need a camera. The other person can have a Mic and then live chats with sound both ways and Pictures (Video) the other.
    NOTE: At This Time It Is NOT Possible to Audio (sound only) between Mac & PC with AIM & iChat
    Trillian Basic can Audio. Trillian Pro can Video and has a bigger picture and can do Full Screen.
    Another explanation of the set up can be found Here about AIM 5.5 but is transferable.

  • I have an ancient laptop (from 2005) that has my entire music library. This laptop barely works and some keys don't type anymore. How can I get all this music transferred to another computer, or available to me on the cloud?

    I have an ancient laptop (from 2005) that has my entire music library. This laptop barely works and some keys don't type anymore. How can I get all this music transferred to another computer, or available to me on the cloud?

    No... do not move programs.
    About the iTunes library files
    Your iTunes library files track the media you add to iTunes, how you've organized it, and other information such as playlists. By default, these two files are in your iTunes folder:
    Mac OS X: /Users/username/Music/iTunes/
    Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\
    Windows Vista: C:\Users\username\Music\iTunes\
    Windows 7: C:\Users\username\My Music\iTunes\
    Windows 8: C:\Users\username\My Music\iTunes\

  • Since installing 4.0.1 I can't right click on the Icon in my task bar and have Firefox give me the option of "close and save" the tabs. Only let's me know I'm about to close multiple tabs. How do I get "save and close" back?

    Before installing 4.0.1 I could right click on the Firefox icon on my computer's taskbar and hit close window. It would then give me the option to "save tabs and quit" or "close all tabs."
    Now it just alerts me that I'll be closing multiple tabs.
    It was convenient to be able to close Firefox and open it with all of the tabs in place. There is nothing more irritating than having multiple tabs lost because your computer did an update overnight and restarted. Also it was helpful when you wanted to run a tun-up or cleaner that asked you close out of your browser for optimum result's.
    How do I get "save and quit" back?
    Thanks

    Firefox now always stores the old session, and you can access it by going to the History menu and selecting "Restore Previous Session"
    If you want Firefox to display the message to save the session, it can be turned back on by changing some preferences.
    # Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
    # Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
    # Locate the preference '''browser.tabs.warnOnClose''', if its value is set to '''false''', double-click on it to change its value to '''true'''
    # Repeat this for these 3 preferences '''browser.warnOnQuit''', '''browser.warnOnRestart''' and '''browser.showQuitWarning'''
    If you always open the last set of tabs, an alternative approach is this:
    # Click the orange Firefox button, then select options to open the options window
    # Go to the General panel
    # Change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "Show my windows and tabs from last time"
