I am unable to download powerpoint videos (.pps)

When I download a .pps video from an email, I get only lots of gibberish/letters that's greek to me!
What do I need to do to get the video?

a .pps file isn't a video, it's a powerpoint presentation. That requires an app that understands such files to open it - like Powerpoint or Keynote. Are you using such an app?

  • With latest version of Flashplayer - unable to download streaming video with realplayer

    The latest version of Adobe flashplayer (11.5)  was loaded today (nov 9, 2012).  As a result, using either IE9 or Firefox, I was unable to download streaming videos using Realplayer, where it was set up by "Download the Video".  I had no trouble with Flashplayer 11.4, although I had the same problem with Flashplayer 11.3.

    Good comments by Hicks. While I an not as anti-iMovie '08 as many others appear to be, I really agree with both his assessment of the product and some of his distribution ideas. However, rather than the simple 2-tier product recommendation he presented, I would personally like to see a renamed version of the current iMovie '08 product be distributed as a free application to users and keep all of the DV based editors as a part of the current 3-tier iLife (which can be purchased by users who wish more editing/plug-in compatibility at a moderate price but are not willing to invest the money or time to use of FCE), FCE "prosumer", and FCE/Studio true profession editing packages purchased according to individual user needs.
    As we have seen in the past, innovations introduced by FCE frequently filter their way down to lower level software as enhancements over time. In addition, we have also seen a number of the new iMovie '08 developments being adapted to other applications as the means and processes are developed to do so. Frankly, I am curious to see where all these new innovations may lead given the opportunity for further development.

  • Unable to download large videos taken with my 4S phone. 1-3G

    I have taken several videos of my boys sports, but find myself unable to download the videos to my computer or portable hard drive.  Videos were taken with my IPhone and are 3-7 minutes long.  Up to 3gig of memory on just one video.
    Trying to download to a Windows HP computer.   When plugging in the phone to sync...it will go for 30 min and then state.  (ITunes could not back up the iPhone because the backup could not be saved on the computer)  I have tried multiple times, rebooted, made sure everything is up to date.
    When opening the files up like a camera where you can drag or tried copy and paste the files will attempt to save.  Sometimes the files looks saved but there is ZERO Mb saved, just the file name.   Other time I was able to get a file save, but it will not play, just a very fragmented video that looks like pictures taken every 30 seconds.
    Please help

    Sometimes syncing will have problems with very large video files like this.  I'm not sure you will be able to overcome this, but if the videos are important enough you may consider purchasing 3rd party software such as Touch Copy to transfer them.

  • Unable to download youtube videos

    unable to download youtube videos-downloads fine on other browsers. What cause? installed anonymox week b4 prob. also unable 2 fig out how to uninstall anonymox - when click on tools -> add-ons, directs me 2 ur website.

    I hv just discovered my G5 OSX 10.4.11 with updated Safari4.0.5 will not work with Flash Player.
    Of course it will or these forums would be full of users screaming that Flash no longer works with Tiger!
    The latest version of Adobe FlashPlayer can be obtained from here:
    http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
    (You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.
    You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
    http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157
    and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.

  • Why am I unable to download powerpoint files?

    I am having problems downloading powerpoint files. When I go to download the file, it saves it as a "application/octet-stream" which I am unable to do anything with. It only started after I upgraded to Firefox 5.0. I need to know how to fix this or I am going to have to (unfortunately) switch to another browser. I have been using firefox for years and have not had this problem until the new update. Please help.

    I have already attempted all of these, numerous times. I have even uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox 5.0 and 6.0 more than once each. My problem was not corrected until I downgraded to 3.6, thus leading me to believe it is an actual problem with the Firefox 5.0 and 6.0 software. My IT department believes this to be true as well. However if you know of anything else I can try please let me know, I do love Firefox and would like to use the most up to date version. Thanks.

  • I am unable to download powerpoint presentations from online site?

    Rather than downloading file as .ppt it downloads it as an octet stream file. I am forced to use the "open with" and of course powerpoint is not listed so I am forced to browse through my c drive to find the program. It will then open the ppt file and I can manually save it. Is there a patch for this or can I just download the previous version of Firefox.

    a .pps file isn't a video, it's a powerpoint presentation. That requires an app that understands such files to open it - like Powerpoint or Keynote. Are you using such an app?

  • Unable to download music video to iPad

    I log into iTunes on my iPad and most videos are unavailable, I cannot purchase them. This is also happening with iBooks. My software is up to date. Please advise, is it a setting issue?

    You can stream music and videos from Internet Explorer (or SkyDrive). In order to transfer media to your phone, you use Zune.
    You can download free (and trial) apps without a credit card but you can't buy apps.
    Adobe Flash Player for mobiles is dead. It will dissapear from all mobiles. Simple as that.

  • Need help downloading Sony video camera to iMac

    I have been unable to download a video from my son's Sony video camera to my iMac.  It doesn't recognize something?

    Well, as per the previous note, more info is needed, but I would also add another question and is it a MiniDV camcorder with a tape or does it have a removable memory card or is it a hard drive-based camera? The reason I ask is that I had an older tape camcorder that I plugged in via the USB cable. Didn't work other than allowing me to access the files on the memory card in the camera. What I needed, (and bought) was a firewire cable that allowed me to control the camcorder and copy off the recorded video straight from my 2010 Macbook Pro. Worked perfectly with iMovie.
    A long shot, but may help. Also, what ports do you have on your camera?

  • Unable to download or run any videos from Youtube

    Unable to download or run any videos from YouTube. I can open the YouTube website, but when I select any videos, even ones I've posted myself in the past, from another computer, the video window opens and shows the "whirling circle" display that indicates it's trying to download, but nothing else happens. Meanwhile on the rest of the website window, other flash data continues to display and update.
    This is not restricted to Firefox; same thing happens with any browser I attempt to use. Could be windows 7 related, but I don't know what other settings to check.

    Try to disable the restrictions and reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again.
    Are you using Wi-Fi? If yes, check your security software settings as well:

    in Nokia 710, unable to download music or video directly from internet explorer. Not having option to connect internet through pc suite. Unable to download apps from market place from debit card or net banking. Not having adobe flash player. Unable to edit office files who comes from mail.
