I have microsoft powerpoint on my macbook and every time i open it, it disappears.  The application is running but i cannot access it.

So every time i open my powerpoint presentations or open a new one it disappears off top of my screen.  when i swipe my trackpad to show my open applications my projects are there but i cant open them.  its like theyre minimized off my screen.  How do i get them back so i can access them?  I have a Macbook Pro running osx 10.8.2

First, update your Mountain Lion installation -> http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1676 & http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1686.
Then, make certain that you're running the latest version of the MS Office suite - 14.3.9 (go to any other Office app and select "Check for Updates" under the Help menu).
If that doesn't help, you may want to visit the MS Office for Mac forums.
Good luck,
Clinton

  • I have loaded firefox 4, and every time I open a new tab the curser ends up in the navigation area instead of the search box - very frustrating. It didn't used to happen.

    cursor in search bar not in main page. Causes irritation when I start typing before I realis.
    Problem not experienced in Firefox 3 (now running 4)

    If you want a specific webpage (like the Google page) to always open when you open a New Tab, you can use the following add-on to Open New Tabs with your Favorite Pages:
    -> NewTabURL 2.2.3
    * https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/newtaburl/
    * NewTabURL will not work until you set the page that you want to open in the Options for it.
    * click Add-ons > Extensions, click Options next to NewTabURL.
    Check and tell if its working.
    Not related to your problem but do the following:
    -> Update Firefox to the latest version 10
    * [[Installing Firefox on Windows]]
    -> Update All your Firefox Plugins -> https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/
    * '''When Downloading Plugins Update setup files, Remove Checkmark from Downloading other Optional Softwares with your Plugins (e.g. Toolbars, McAfee, Google Chrome, etc.)'''

  • I accidentally quit my CC on my Macbook pro and now the cloud icon is grayed out and every time I hover over it with the mouse I get the spinning beach ball of death on the icon. I have no idea how to open it because when I use spotlight search to open it

    I accidentally quit my CC on my Macbook pro and now the cloud icon is grayed out and every time I hover over it with the mouse I get the spinning beach ball of death on the icon. I have no idea how to open it because when I use spotlight search to open it it gives me a message saying "Creative Cloud is not open anymore" help!

    Since you didn't include any pertinent info such as the Mac model and OS version you are running, here is some general information:
    Mac OS X: Gray screen appears during startup
    Depending on which OS yours came with originally - and which OS you are now running - you would either need your original install disks - you can call Apple for replacements by giving them your serial number. Or you may be able to reinstall the OS by using recovery (again, depends on which model/which OS).

  • I have a new MacBook Pro and every time I open Safari it locks up???

    Okay, then you have made a whole bunch of trouble for yourself. First, download and run this:
    Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
    and then you can manually remove as many bits of PSE as you can find. Not only the application itself, but also in hard drive>library>application support>adobe. And go to your username>library>preferences and delete everything there pertaining to PSE. That library is hidden. To see it, click the Go menu in the Finder and hold down the Option key and it will appear below the little house for your user account.
    Then go here to download the installer and install it from scratch. You can never move an installed copy of PSE (except for the app store version):
    Download Photoshop Elements products | 9, 8, 7

  • Hello, starting with today I have a strange problem: all events are correctly shown in the finder but in FCP-X there`s`none and every time I open it creates a new event. What is wrong?

    Hello, starting with today I have a strange problem with Final Cut Pro X: all events are correctly shown in the finder but in FCP-X there`s`none and every time I open it creates a new event. What is wrong?

    Here`s the screenshot.
    But anyway:
    The drive is Makintosh HD from my Macbook and it is shown in the event mediathek and in the projects. Since I`ve recognized this problem I installed FCPX again and consequently the event and project directory created by FCPX is where it should be and it shows all the test events including it`s files.
    So what happens? Opening FCPX you see only one event and that a new empty event. All previous events are not shown there even if you can see them in the finder. So if you import again the clips they are in this new event library. After closing correctly FCPX and reopening there again is nothing than an new and empty event. What it does is that it recognized that i.e. there are events with previous numbers and so it creates an new one with the next available counting number.
    If you want to open one event from the finder it by clicking to the file it opens FCPX but it says it cannot open the clicked file.

  • Every time I open a second document the 1st one slides off the screen and I have to reopen everything.  I want to view more than 1 document at the same time.

    How can I view and work on more than one document at a time?  I've never had a problem with this but suddenly every time I open a new document the 1st one slides over out of sight.  How do I get that to stop?

    Hi bbd,
    Here is a screen shot of two documents open side by side. Drag the first document to the left of the screen. Open another document and drag it to the right of the screen.
    I have not had an open document slide from view. Puzzling!

    The Videos are showed up front 4 months, but now they are no longer to be seen. When you star a video first the hard drive starts, but then it stops and hangs up. I have to restart it, starting with the apple logo....

    every time i sync in my music in my iphone 5 it would have to back up my iphone and every time i back up the loading bar would freeze then my itunes with crash pls help my iphone 5 cost a lot from my savings

    Syncing requires a backup as part of the sync process.
    Delete any existing backups in iTunes under Edit > Preferences > Devices (or simply move them to a different folder on the computer) then try a backup or sync.

    Can you play the song in iTunes?
    If you can't the song file is probably corrupt and needs to be replaced.

  • I have problem with adobe bridge cs6. Every time I open it Bridge tells me to Purge Cache. I have CS

    I have problem with adobe bridge cs6. Every time I open it Bridge tells me to Purge Cache. I have CS6 on two computers and it works fine on one of them. I have tried to reinstall it without succeeding to fix the problem. Does anyone have the same problem and a solution to it?
    "Bridge encountered a problem and is unable to read the cache. Please try purging the central cache in Cache Preferences to correct the situation."

    You must have a Mac.  Try this.
    Quit Bridge, from user library (NOT system and root library) preferences folder find and delete the com.adobe.bridge5.plist file manual. Do this also in same user library caches folder (Caches/Adobe/Bridge CS6) and inhere find and the folder called 'cache' and drag it to the trash.
    restart Bridge holding down option key and choose reset preferences, then try again.
