Keynote and PPS Files

Can Keynote be configured so that .pps files automatically open as a slide show.
I have set up a family member with an iMac, OS 10.5, and NeoOffice. She receives attachments as .pps files.
Unfortunately, while NeoOffice can play .pps slide shows once opened, it cannot do so automatically.
See http://trinity.neooffice.org/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=2893

Kelly,
Yes, the app works normally on its own. I've been using it to open .pps files from email or wherever all the way back to whatever OS was there when I first installed it, probably Tiger, and it worked fine all the way up through 10.5.8 on the old G5 iMac. Now, on the new Intel platform and Snow Leopard, I get these failures.
I don't think it's a problem with the files themselves, and I think this is still supposed to be something that works ... but can't be totally sure of that.
In the meantime, I'm left with opening them on the iPad.

  • I lost my keynote and pages file

    How do I restore keynote and pages file that seem to have vanished in icloud?

    Thanks Carolyn. But i still cant retrieve the files. They have vanished.  This is an embarassement to apple and its systems and an inconvenience to people like me who have lost the file. This is the only time i lost my file when i didnt think twice and just allowed the Keynote and pages files created to be stored on icloud. It was there for a few weeks and then suddenly i realised i coldnt find it anymore.
    Thanks so much for your help and feedback.
    Cheers

  • I upgraded to the ios5 on my ipad 2 and now all my Notes, Numbers and keynote and goodreader files are gone. Did they back up? If so where?

    I upgraded to the ios5 on my ipad 2 and now all my Notes, Numbers, keynote and goodreader files are gone. Did they back up? If so where? Any help is greatly appreciated.

    that happens for people who used icloud for everything but contacts. When they updated and went through initial
    set up, signing into cloud enabled everything including cloud for contacts. Since they had zero contacts in cloud, cloud cleaned out their contacts, but synced everything else that icloud has, like calendars, reminders etc. If those contacts were never backed up anywhere - they gone. If there is back up in cloud, it needs to be restored.
    Contacts sync in the cloud need to be turned off, right after restore.

  • Keynote and Pages files on Ipad

    My Videos app is crashing after renting a video on iTunes - so I want to restore settings.  Will I lose Keynote and Pages (and Goodreader, etc.) files when this happens - or will I get them back when I sync?

    Not if you restore from a backup you've made on iTunes.  All the settings, etc. will be the same.  Of course, there may be corrupted files in the backup that are causing your crash.  Give it a try and see what happens.

  • Saving Pages, Keynote and Numbers files so they're compatible to open on PC

    How do I save files from pages, keynote and numbers so I can open them on a PC?

    I would have to think that most PC's are running Office, so that would be a safe bet.
    If you really want anyone to be able to open and read, PlainText or pdf would be even better. PDF for reading and plaintext if you want them to be able to edit.

  • Equations for Keynote and Powerpoint Files?

    I copied a powerpoint file onto my Ipad2 and used Keynote to open it.  Most everything is fine, but Ipad-Keynote won't recognize the equations.
    The Keynote on my Macbook pro will recognize them.  The equations were made with Microsoft's equation editor.
    Is there any way to get Keynote to recognize equations?  Alternatively, is there some app for the Ipad that will recognize/show/allow-editing of
    equations in powerpoint?

    This is fine, but not really the answer. If you look at the MathType web site, you'll find the following in response to queries about Equation Editor on the iPad:
    "Is there a version of MathType for Apple Pages on iPad/iPhone?
    No. Not yet anyway. Since Apple released Pages for iPad, we have received numerous inquiries regarding creating and editing MathType equations in that environment. Since the iPhone uses the same software as iPad, it is reasonable to expect that Apple will offer a version of Pages that works on it as well someday soon.
    Pages for iPad lacks MathType support
    As you probably know, Apple added support for MathType to iWork '09 in all three iWork apps, Pages, Numbers, and Keynote. This required Apple to do software development in these applications. We made only minor changes to MathType to make this work. Before we can make a version of MathType for Pages, or any other iWork app, Apple must do similar work in Pages for iPad.
    Why don't you guys work this out with Apple?
    We would love to. However, it is not just a matter of us picking up the phone and calling Tim Cook, or anyone else in Apple management for that matter. Big companies like Apple get inundated daily with requests from smaller companies to make things work in their favor. Like all smart companies, Apple does not set its market direction by listening to other companies but by listening to its customers.
    So what can I do?
      The best thing you can do to get MathType support added to Pages for iPad/iPhone is to   tell Apple that it is important to you. Apple has a Pages for iPad Comment Form that is perfect for giving them feedback. Encourage your friends and associates to also let them know that you would like MathType support in Pages for iPad. If you work at a university or other educational institution, or company with lots of iPads, you may have other avenues open to give Apple feedback. Companies love feedback from their customers. We do and we are pretty sure Apple does also."
    So it is really a two-way street, and I am sure that a small company like Design Science would LOVE to be able to have their product as an iPad app, or even as transferable from a MacBook. However, it seems that for them to ready MathType for the iPad, it needs a little effort from Apple, which has not, so far, been forthcoming. Again, it comes down to the question of why has Apple turned its back on the tablet concept, when they had it first, and as a company trying so hard to dominate the education market? It makes no sense, unless they really just don't care about it, and would rather sell iPhones and iPads for folk to play Angry Birds on.
    And telling me I have to use PowerPoint is not the solution - PowerPoint is clunky and ugly, compared to Keynote on the MacBook, and there's no reason to drive a Yugo when a Jaguar is sitting in the garage, waiting for a fourth wheel.
    I really would like to now what apps can sit on an iPad and allow me to handwrite on top of a Keynote presentation, and include complex equations without inordinate additional effort. None of the MacBook solutions is satisfactory, especially when I a) have video content, and b) am trying to record the lecture to a Podcast at the same time, and I don't see that possibility on the iPad yet. Technology is supposed to make preparing and delivering material to students easier and more efficient - the reality is that, with thestill crude tools currently available, doing so can become an infinite sink for time and resources. It may be true that where there is a will there is a way, but what there is not is an infinite supply of time to make it happen.

  • Adobe Reader X and *.pps files

    Dear Sir or Madam:
    With the recent Adobe Reader upgrade (?) to Reader X, I have encountered a problem attempting to open previous received  *.psa files as well as those received after the upgrade.
    When attempting to open the file, the following error message is received:"Adobe Reader could not open *.pps because it it either not a  supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and was't correctly decoded.)  I have attempted to Repair the Reader twice, without success.  Also, one of the recommendation is to "Enable 3rd Party Browser Extensions" under Internet Options, Tools, Advance Settings.  This requirement is enabled.
    What is the solution?  When Adobe provides an update, they should send a workable upgrade and not one that wreaks havoc on a clinet's computer.  

    Thank you for your reply.  Your response answers my question.  The only
    remaining item, I could open emailed Power Point and Photo Album files me with earlier versions of Adobe Reader?  I will attempt removing Reader X and download an earlier version from Adobe's web page.
    Once again, thanks.

  • Keynote and sound files

    I was preparing a lecture where I wanted to use sound files that would run over several slides. It appears that this is not possible. It is either one sound file per slide or one sound file for the whole show. Perhaps I'm wrong, but this is a big disappoinment given that the latest versions of Powerpopint do have this feature!
    I am using Keynote 4.0
    Bill

    There are numerous threads discussing this problem within this forum. There are only two "workarounds" that enable you to run an audio track over multiple slides:
    1) Create individual "sub-presentations" for each group of slides you want to use with a single audio Soundtrack and then link them together via Hyperlinks. CAVEAT: If you play KN presentations via Hyperlinks, you lose any Synchronization you may have created when you Recorded the Soundtrack. All Builds and/or Transitions will have to be triggered via a Click or Automatically for each slide as the presentation is playing.
    2) Use Builds to change your graphics, rather than create new slides. If you keep everything within one slide, you then can assign an audio track for the slide that will play through all of the graphics.

  • Printing PPT and PPS files - file name is "flash"

    Printing a PowerPoint slide of the dashboard using the "print" button - file name is "flash" instead of original file name. I would like the real file name to show up. Thanks.

    Hi Susan,
    Please guide me to the place/location where you see the filename? I tried it at my side but I am not getting any filename.

  • Keynote Saves .key files to default open with Powerpoint

    I've been finding that whenever I create a new keynote file and save it somewhere, if I double click on the file it will automatically attempt to open it with powerpoint. After powerpoint opens it will obviously say it does not recognize the file. I can correctly open the file with keynote by right-clicking and manually opening with keynote.
    If I open 'get info' on the file I will see that it is selected to open with powerpoint. I can open the drop down menu to change the opening option and see that powerpoint is selected but keynote is listed right below with '(default)' beside it. If I select keynote (default) and close the drop down menu it will stay as keynote and the file will correctly open with keynote all subsequent times.
    However, if I click the 'change all' button below to set all files of this type to the selected option (keynote - default) then my selection automatically changes back to powerpoint in the drop down menu. It is really weird and confusing.
    Any help?

    I've posted this many times & others have posted their methods more than once as well.
    This is what works for me. After I installed the new iWork updates I created a folder on an external drive & named it "other applications." I then moved the new iWork apps to this folder & renamed the applications Keynote 6, Pages 5 & Numbers 3. I have icons for two versions of Pages & Numbers (I rarely use Keynote) in my Dock. Even with two versions of Pages & Numbers running, double-clicking an existing file opens in Pages 4.3 or Numbers 2.3. This should also keep the Mac App Store from nagging you to update.

  • I can't see from my PC the .pps files stored into Keynote in my iPad

    Hi all, i would want to know if it's possible to see from my PC the .pps files stored into Keynote in my iPad 2. When i am syncronyzing the iPad with the PC, in the iTunes tab called Applications, in its end part there's a double panel (Share files): on the left side, under 'Applications', a list of the Apps. installed on the iPad; on the right side, under 'Documents', a list of the documents that the selected app. on the left has in the iPad.
    No problem for Quicknote or Documents to go Premium: i can see the docs these apps. have in the iPad, and thus i can use the  'Save in' option to copy them to my PC, and also i can use the 'Add' option to transfer docs from my PC to the selected app.
    The problem is with Keynote application: while i have two docs in this app. in my iPad, i can't see them from iTunes; and also, i can't see in the iPad the docs i transfer to the Keynote app. with the 'Add' button.
    I have uninstalled and re-installed the Keynote app. on the iPad (without rebooting the device between the two things) without result.
    Any help on this matter would be appreciated. Regards.

    I have seen the solution: i have to explicitly share the files from Keynote options:
    - IPad --> iTunes: with the presentation open,  Configuration > Share and print > Send to iTunes.
    - iTunes --> iPad: '+' > Copy from: iTunes.

  • Music of imported pps files doesn't sound on Keynote

    I got Keynote on my Ipad, and when I import pps files, its music doesn't sound. It's very strange because the same file, I open it in powerpoint in my mac and it works fine, the musics perfect. So what's the problem? Can i do something on my mac to get this pps file to work with music on my iPad keynote?
    thank you

    How could I NOT import them? Appointments I do "by hand" show up immediately on the other devices. The imported appointments show up after modification.

  • Keynote is exporting only to .pps files

    Keynote is exporting only to .pps files when I export to PowerPoint. The pps files play in PowerPoint but they cannot be edited. How can I get an export to a ppt file?

    Update:
    I solved the problem by manually changing the extension from .pps to ppt. This allowed me to use and edit the presentation in PowerPoint with not difficulties. 
    I am using Keynote 5.0.5 and OS 10.8.2

  • TS4213 Why can't iPhoto, Pages, Numbers, Keynote and iMovie access my iTunes Library files and Pages, Numbers, Keynote and iMovie access my iPhoto Library files now that I upgraded to '11?

    Why can't iPhoto, Pages, Numbers, Keynote and iMovie access my iTunes Library files and Pages, Numbers, Keynote and iMovie access my iPhoto Library files now that I upgraded to '11?
    Examples of what is going on:
    1. In Pages, Numbers & Keynote, when I go to the media browser the Audio section reads "Open iTunes to populate this list" even after iTunes has been opened, .xml file has been replaced/repaired, etc  AND Photo section reads "Open iPhoto to see photos from your iPhoto Library in this list" even after iPhoto Library has been replaced and new default library created.
    2. In iMovie, similar thing ... when I go to add photos or music to a movie the iTunes files aren't present and the iPhoto photos are missing with similar messages as in #1.
    3. In iPhoto, similar thing ... when I go to add music to a slideshow it says to "Open iTunes to populate this list".
    It is shocking to me that Apple would let something as simple as a pathway link to associated library files get this messed up on an upgrade, but what's even more surprising is that with the number of people who seem to be having this particular issue (and I can tell from all the research that I've done for weeks online that there are a lot of them) that there doesn't seem to be a single clear answer to fixing it anywhere on these community support forums.  Most of what I've seen is rehashed advice from outdated issues.  What I need is a simple answer to how do we get these programs to look for the correct location of the photo and music files because I sure can't seem to find any logical place to do that through the programs' preferences files or the system preferences window?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    P.S. Here's the details on the software/hardware:
    MacBook Pro
    Mac OS X
    Version 10.7.5
    2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    iTunes 11.0.4 (4)
    iPhoto '11 9.4.3 (720.91)
    iMovie '11 9.0.9 (1795)
    Keynote '09 5.3 (1170)
    Pages '09 4.3 (1048)
    Numbers '09 2.3 (554)

    I have the same problem on a new MacBook Pro. I have not been able to access the iTunes library from iPhoto since I got this computer. I looked in the Preferences file and deleted the com.apple.iApps.plist but there was no com.apple.iApps.lockfile so I just deleted the iAPPs.plist and rebooted the computer.  Still no iTunes available in iPhoto.
    All my music is in iTunes and plays. After reading the above I brought up Pages and I was able to access music and insert a track into a document.
    Do you have any suggestions.
