Keynote error on Powerpoint

I have tried 2 PowerPoint conversions and keep getting unknown error unable to import.
Are there specific PowerPoint versions ,or presentation components that would cause errors?
Thanks for any Assist.

Same problem here.  I have 6 PowerPoint presentations from the newest Microsoft PowerPoint, all password protected and ranging in size from 50 to 114 mb.  The one at 114 my was able to be moved to iTunes under the shared keynote folder but it showed 112 mb. All are able to be imported to the ipad2 with the exception of the 114 (114 mb) file.  Error message, failed to import.  As this is my first time posting, just curious if someone from apple looks at and responds to these threads.
Thanks.
Die hard PC fan since the first Tandy 8088 came out but was convinced by my 17 year old to buy an iPad...good grief.

  • Converting a Keynote document to Powerpoint file doesn't work

    I tried to convert Keynote documents to PowerPoint files that can be viewed and edited by PowerPoint users on Windows or Mac OS computers. All I got was a error. Can any one tell me how to make this work.I did every thing that was in the instructions.
    To create a PowerPoint slideshow:
    Choose File > Export and then click PowerPoint.
    Click Next.
    Type a name and choose a location for the file, and then click Export.

    Hy Kyn, thank you for answering.
    Every slide on my presentation has animated objekts. And every slide is linked (by hyperlink) to every slide on the presentation. So I want to give the user the chance to interrupt and to go to next slide. Therefore is an arrow to klick on, which has a hyperlink to next side (or do go to start, or to go back) - during the slide-animation is working.
    That works fine in keynote, but it doesn't work after the export in QT. In QT it is not possible to interrupt the sequence of the animation. When the sequence is (performed) finalized, the klick on the arrow works, and I can go to next slide.
    But interruption is not pssible.
    Tanks in advance for your answer!
    Best regards - Renate

  • Keynote Export to PowerPoint

    Well, I was using this work around just fine, until I upgraded to Office 2008.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1341613
    Now I can't even open that PowerPoint file at all. I get the error in PowerPoint that it experienced an error and had to quit.
    I'd love to blame Microsoft for this, but feel it is an issue with Keynote.
    Any help on this one?
    My PowerPoint version is 12.1.3
    Keynote version 4.0.3

    i'm having the same problem with exporting from keynote to powerpoint. I try to open an exported ppt file in powerpoint but it gives me an error - very frustrating. Also, when I exported it, it didn't export all the slides (when i open the ppt file with keynote).
    I ended up saving it as an iwork 06 file - opened it from a keynote '06 version and then exported it. All the slides where there but when i go to powerpoint version 12 and open it - it doesn't. It did open in the old powerpoint version though.
    both keynote and powerpoint have serious export problems -- grrr.

  • I'm changing from powerpoint to Keynote.  In powerpoint you can change slides by typing in the slide number and hitting enter.  I want to do the same in keynote without the slide switcher popping up at the top.  Possible?

    Wow, I may be losing my mind, you're right.  I guess I was doing what you said out of old habits and not even realizing it.  Much appreciated.

  • Keynote conversion to Powerpoint

    How do I convert a Keynote presentation to Powerpoint including the music files used from ITunes?

    Have you checked Microsoft's website to ensure that you're supplying the right file format?
    Also, if there is a requirement that Windows users of PowerPoint open files with no problems, then you're doing yourself a disservice by not buying PowerPoint. Keynote is an excellent tool and when giving a presentation it still beats PowerPoint handily. However, Keynote isn't and will likely never be a replacement for PowerPoint.
    There are other free tools that DO aspire to be carbon copy clones of PowerPoint, though, you may want to check those out.

  • Keynote 09 to Powerpoint with media files

    Can anyone direct me to a tutorial etc. that walks me through the export command Keynote to Powerpoint, "BUT" allows the media files (usually .mov) to transfer as well?
    I have tried the "making a folder with the media files (.mov, .avi, .mp4) and the converted Powerpoint (.pptx or .ppt) but nothing seems to work.
    Thanks,
    Doc

    Yeah, my son (grade 6) attempted to export his keynote '09 to powerpoint and that was a disaster, most of the photographs resumed their size and positioning prior adjustments made earlier in keynote. then tried to export as dvd and I kept getting messages about something to do about a fault with earlier in the chain. i cannot remember. so then tried to save it to dvd with manual adjusting i kept getting that message. then clicked onto timed adjusting and it worked. so i think its got something to so with the manual adjustment.

  • Do all animations and features of Keynote save as PowerPoint Presentations and are all of the animations and features then useable on a PC in the .ppt format, will it work properly?

    Do all animations and features of Keynote save as PowerPoint Presentations and are all of the animations and features then useable on a PC in the .ppt format, will it work properly?
    I want to buy a Macbook Pro, but i need to know the scale of compatability between my Microsoft products and my soon to be apple products, proffessional presentations are vital for what i want, therefore compatability if key if i am to purchase a Mac. Thank you.

    Not all of the animations and features in Keynote will transition into Powerpoint.  Most of the basic ones do - but not the advanced.  I had this issue when I first switched over to Mac, so to overcome this, I do two things:
    I figured out which animations and transitions work in both Keynote and Powerpoint and used them.  It's kind of a pain when I can't use the awesome Keynote animations, however, Keynote is still much easier and intuitive to work in than Powerpoint.
    I sometimes export my Keynote presentations to a Quicktime movie (.mov).  Apple makes it very simple to export to this format; which can then be accessed on both a Mac and PC and all of the transitions and effects remain as they are in Keynote.
    I hope that helps.

  • Keynote error and asked to quit before I save

    Ok, I know the drill regarding saving while creating a project, but I forgot.  Now, after an hour or so of work, keynote error occured and I am asked to quit.  It won't save, or save as, it will export, but I don't know how that will help.  Anyway to save this project?  I did a timemachine backup but have not quit the program yet becasue I would like to try to save it.
    Any thoughts?

    Choose Force Quit from the Apple menu and close Mail from there.

    Alas I don't see that option — having said that I looked at mime types and legacy encoders and nada, but oddly when I went to check the QT version (7.6 by the way) in the "About Quicktime" (accessed via the *System Preferences*) it cycles thru various codecs and "Macromedia Flash Player" is one of them... guess it doesn't access anymore. :o(

  • Unknown error when trying to export keynote file to powerpoint

    Is there a size limit to the export? I have an 80MB file I would like to export. Smaller files have exported successfully, but now I am getting this totally unhelpful error message:
    An unknown error occurred.

    Mmmm - so it won't even allow sharing as an uncompressed full-quality QT file. Does it include iTunes store tracks? (don't know if that would cause your particular problem). Could you test by creating a new project with just a few pics (drag and drop from your current project) and without the music track? Or maybe just do a Save As, and trash the music from it.

  • How can I export a keynote presentation as Powerpoint?

    I keep getting an error message that "part of the file is missing" in Powerpoint. I've successfully exported before, but this is a long presentation with lots of pictures and video.
    Help, please? I really don't want to have to start again from scratch in Powerpoint. I like Keynote oh so much better... (at least I did until this happened...)
    Thanks!

    Nothing personal, Russell - 'cause you HAVE helped me in the past - that advice doesn't help me in the slightest.
    OS X 10.6.7 will not even let me choose MS PowerPoint 2011 as an "Open With ... " option. It is greyed out. Older versions are available - but no success.
    As recently as February of this year I successfully saved essentially the same presentation as a .ppt. So something has changed with either how MS is treating the exported file, or how Keynote is exporting the file.
    For right now, I have just exported as a "highest quality images" .pdf for my remote audience. They can view it full-screen (it's a simple presentation - no animation, no embedded sound nor video, no show notes).

  • Keynote error VRAM

    He,
    I'm having a annoying problem lately with one of my clients.
    My client uses keynote for running presentations.
    The presentations begins every morning and ends every evening, so its only not running at night.
    After a while every mac shows the error: The computer doesn't have enough VRAM to play this presentation with this display resolution.
    He uses old and new mac mini's al with 10.6.8
    The weird thing is that keynote is the only applacation that is running.
    I thought recently it could be solved when we upgraded to a new macmini with 10.7.2
    It ran perfectly for a week till an hour ago.
    It gave the same error again but this time with the newest mac mini en the newest software...
    Keynote is also up-to-date.
    Can someone help me?!
    bye,
    Remy
    p.s.
    I'm from holland so don't mind my grammer!

    I've recently tried opening a small presentation in keynote on unibody macbook (2.4Ghz, 4GB memory), it won't open with mirror displays or extended display connected to a 2-yr protector using mini displayport to vga @ 1024x768 or 800x600 (millions of colors and thousands of colors options)
    Interesting enough, using the "Rehearsal Mode", it full screened just fine. Exporting to PowerPoint, fullscreen just fine. (except the export incorrectly formatted about 50-70% of the slides and all animations where lost)
    Apple. How about testing your products please.

  • Keynote and/or Powerpoint content in Final Cut Pro

    Hope this is not a stupid question but if it is please excuse me, I'm rather new to FCP.
    My colleague wants to produce some webcasts of his business presentations.
    Normally he uses Powerpoint to illustrate his talks.
    Is it possible to somehow take these visuals and incorporate them into the webcasts?
    The idea is to show him speaking and have the graphics appearing in the background and/or alongside him.
    I'm prepared for the idea of shooting him on a green screen to produce a matte.
    (any tutorials on green screen and FCP7 out there ???)
    My main concern though is how I can get from Powerpoint / Keynote to a format that is readable by FCP7.
    Help and suggestions would be most welcome.
    Thanks

    You're kind of going in an odd little circle. You really need to be looking as producing your webinar, rather than dealing with FCP. There's plenty of ways to incorporate a PP or Keynote presentation into a webinar. That's what most of the webinar sites or software do. They'll also let you incorporate live video streams. Do a live composite (green screen) is something separate. You'd deal with FCP and graphics as a different issue, and only if you were rolling in a precut video stream. And yes, you can export graphics from Keynote, though I don't remember about PP, I've stayed away from it for the past couple of years. But you'd want to make sure those slide pages were setup for your video frame, and generally they're not, at least not to begin with.

  • Keynote presentation like powerpoint

    I recently built this great presentation in keynote. When I went to present it I got the mini-dvi to vga connector and hooked it up to the projector which worked fine. Running the presentation though none of my page transitions ran correctly and some of the other character transitions did not run correctly either. I specifically want to run keynote versus powerpoint because I didn't want any issues, yet I had them. Can anyone help me figure this out? Could it have been the projector?

    I didn't know anything about mirrored or spanning. What I could see on the laptop I think was the same thing that was going showing in through the projector. I remember when I loaded the presentation up that it took a long time and when the presentation was over and I was shutting down, it asked me if I wanted to save the file. I didn't change anything so it shouldn't have asked me that. So something happened that shouldn't have.
    I have not tried it again on another monitor yet. Just wanted to see if anyone else has had a problem like this.
    PS- sorry it took me so long to get back to you.

  • Keynote and printing powerpoint presentations

    With keynote, how do you print powerpoints with presenter notes and multiple slides per page..i tried and it's printing the slides, but I can't adjust my margins and the slides are printing about an inch per slide and it's unreadable

    Thank you Kyn Drake. Hopefully, in the next Keynote they make it more flexible. As is, not having to do the drag and opening dictionary but have it right their were your writing.
