I have a MacBook Pro (purchased in 2011) with OS X Lion 10.7.4.  I'm using Microsoft Office 2011 and cannot open older PowerPoint Files (non .pptx). It will always open the same .pptx file and then the machine hangs up and just keeps spinning.

I have a MacBook Pro (purchased in 2011) with OS X Lion 10.7.4.  I'm using Microsoft Office 2011 and cannot open older PowerPoint Files (non .pptx). It will always open the same .pptx file and then the machine hangs up and just keeps spinning.

Thank you - that all makes sense. It is, indeed, exactly what I did when I upgraded.
I'm also writing this on the machine that crashed a few minutes ago (I posted the crash in another thread). I got back with a 'safe boot' - as I have done a few times before.
I've also de-installed little snitch (and then done a safe-boot & then re-boot ) since that seemed involved. I de-installed Adobe flash, since that seemed to be a problem - I then re-installed the later, apparently fixed, flash. The most recent crashes don't seeme to have a problem with flash any more.
I've posted the various ( generally different ) crashes. I also posted a summary of the similar lines that turn up in most of the crashes.
Unfortuantely, I'm actually trying to use the machine to meet some urgent deadlines and all this is not making it at all easy.
I had had great hopes for 10.7.2 - I thought that the crashes must be pretty common, so would have a common aetiology. There do seem to have been some fundamental changes to the file sytem and to the video interface (that seems to cause problems to brand new iMacs as well as to my 2009 iMac).

  • I have a Macbook Pro purchased brand new. I take high quality pictures for customers, these display perfect on my laptop but appear CORRUPT on a USB stick. What is causing this? I can't seem to fix this issue. PLEASE HELP!!

    I have a Macbook Pro purchased brand new. I take high quality pictures for customers, these display perfect on my laptop but appear CORRUPT on a USB stick. What is causing this? I can't seem to fix this issue. PLEASE HELP!!
    I really need this issue resolved it is driving me insane!!! How can the images appear perfectly fine on my laptop then when transferring over to a USB stick they just  corrupt!?

    Check out this site:
    http://osxdaily.com/2012/04/22/format-drive-mac-pc-compatible/
    That will show you how to format a USB stick for use on both PC and Mac.
    If the problem continues take it to an Apple store and have them check it out.
    >Also what s exFAT?<
    From:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ExFAT
    "exFAT (Extended File Allocation Table) is a Microsoft file system optimized for flash drives.[3] It is proprietary and patented."
    That first site explains it at length.

  • I have a macbook pro 15" Retina Display with 2.6 ghz and 8gb of ram yet when i try to download a HD movie from itunes it says my computer doesn't support HD?

    i have a macbook pro 15" retina Display with 2.6 ghz and 8gb of ram when i try to download an HD movie from itunes it says my computer doesn't support HD? i went to the support on the apple website and looked at the specs that a computer has to meet in order to play HD movies and mine is well above them. Why can't i play the movies?

    That would at least partially explain it.
    These MacBook Pros drew more power than the power brick could readily supply, and so would only run at top speed when the power brick was supplemented by the battery.
    Though the applicable tech note has been removed, it stated:
    "If the battery is removed from a MacBook or MacBook Pro, the computer will automatically reduce the processor speed. This prevents the computer from shutting down if it demands more power than the A/C adapter alone can provide."

    Hi.  I have a Macbook Pro Model 5,5 with one 800 firewire port.  I need to create two firewire 800 ports but only have an SD card slot (this is for video interface with 2 cameras).  Is this possible or do I have to have an express card slot in order to do this?

    Hi Jessica,
    No, the SD slot will not work, you need an ExpressCard/34 slot.
    I do not know if it works with cameras, but with two or more HDs, if the first one has two FW ports, you can "daisy chain" one or more additional HDs from it.

  • I have a MacBook Pro late 2008 edition with 2 Gigs of RAM and running Mavericks. When trying to download Yosemite from the App Store it gives me an error message. Anyone has a similar problem?

    All,
    I thought it may be related to spaces in the path in which the script was called from. I tried having the ODBC command script in another directory but the same thing happens. It will give me the "CONFIGSYSDSN: Unable to create a data source for the 'Oracle in OraClient10g_home1' driver: Could not load the setup or translator library with error code -2147467259". As soon as the script is done running I can manually double click the script and it adds the DSN fine.
    Thanks,

  • I am using Microsoft office 2011 for mac, publisher is not included, meanwhile I have publisher files saved from windows, is there any recommended software I can install on the mac so that I can open the files?

    How can I be able to use my Windows publisher files on my Mac computer, since Microsoft office 2011 for Mac doesn't have Publisher? What's most recommended software to use for this purpose?

    Just an FYI here Allan, and clinton.
    Version 4.0 or newer of Libre Office can open and edit Publisher files, this is fairly new, you may not have noticed it yet,
    I tested it last week for another OP, it works very well, so finally there is a Mac application that can replace Publisher.
    Here's a link to the post.
    VikingOSX deserves the credit for finding it.

  • Can I use microsoft office 2011  on my new iMac 2015

    I just purchased a new iMac desktop with Yosemite.  I am wanting to transfer my info from my 2009 Macbook Pro.  Will the Microsoft office 2011 work on the new computer or should I purchase the latest Office?

    As MS Office will be seeing a new hardware configuration, you will likely need your 25-character Product Key.

  • HT4904 I have a Macbook Pro purchased Nov. 2011 and need a installation CD since I can not repair the HD from the utility program on the Mac.  Seems a **** to get this from the internet.  How can I proceed?

    Where can I find an Mac OS X  10.7.4.Install disc for my Macbook Pro please?  I have been searching for several hours now and can not find it anywhere.  The internal repair function is not able to fix the Macintoch HD.  Please help.  Thanks

    Thank you for your answer.
    However, I am not a mac, neither computer specialist.  I also have MacKeeper installed and they give me following instructions ;
    Start from your Mac OS X Install disc: Insert the installation disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
        When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
        Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
        Click the First Aid tab.
        Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
        Select your Mac OS X volume.
        Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk.
    You should get the cd somewhere
    Yes, I can still use my MB but not of the repair functions seems te help.
    Is your suggestion able to repair the HD as well?  When running disk utillities he tells me that the HD needs to be repaired.
    Thanks for your comments.

  • I have new macbook pro 2012, after reimage with mountain lion new version image its locked by firmware password(i have the password but the password not accepted) and its just freeze at apple icon and doesnt boot to OSx, how to make it working?

    macbook pro seem not working, not either go to startup screen just freeze on apple icon.
    and cannot also password for firmware are wrong when i type it in.
    how can i know the keyboard problem if the password are confirm right?

    Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
    This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

  • I have a 2011 Macbook pro that I updated with Mac OSX lion and now my computer keeps freezing when I am on safari or Microsoft word.  Can anyone help me please? I need this computer for school.

    Try to repair disc permissions. Also see if MSOffice is compatible with Lion.
