Keynote not importing Powerpoint files

I have installed iWork 09 in my computer and made the update online. However, every time I try to open a Powerpoint file I get the message: "Import Error - The resource \U201CADBFDefaultThemeStyleSheet.xml\U201D Couldn\U2019t be loaded." (with these strange errors)
I have already uninstalled (both the program and its preference files), run a permission repair, installed again, updated... all to no avail.
Has everyone had this problem?
Thanks,
Paulo

Profjmb,
I realized that my OS X installation was broken, as I've got other weird behavior from apps even when doing simple tasks. Also, reinstalling iWork from scratch didn't solve it (I erased all related files, to no avail).
Then, after reinstalling OS X everything came back to normal.
I believe the OS broke after I changed my account's short name via finder, but can't tell whether this was the real cause.
Good luck with your case,
Paulo

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

I can not import 60p files from Sony NEX-FS100U to Final Cut Pro X.

I can not import 60p files from my Sony NEX-FS100U to Final Cut Pro 10.0.1. Does Sony offer a plug in?

I shoot fishing footage of big catches. Slow motion playback appears to me to be much better when shot it 60p even compared to 60i. It also blows away all of the other formats for a "still" grab. Thank you for your help as I did a search and downloaded Clip Wrap which converted the files to .mov and they actually do import the full 60 frames. Thank you again for your reply.

Can not import MXF files into Final Cut Pro

I am full of anger and frustration!!! I purchased final cut pro only to find out that it WILL NOT import MXF files. How insane is that? ADOBE - NO PROBLEM. Then I had to go back to YOUR STORE and buy two different file converter applications before I found one that worked. Now FINAL CUT PRO will only import the audio segment of converted files after converting to PRORES in PAVTUBE. Are you BUCKING kidding me? This work flow BLOWS. Why the FELL does this have to be sooooo hard! I am gone to creative cow and other forums to try to find out why I am sooo stupid that I can't get this simple process sorted out. YOU BUCKING MONEY MACHINE! How many more aps will I have to buy before I can edit CANON XF100 files in Final Cut Pro. BUCK politics! You should make your software with plugins that would allow you to edit without this kind of added step. JUST LIKE ADOBE. I want refunds for my final cut pro purchase. This is BUCKING rediculous. What a waste of time!

Good thing I still have an iMac on Snow Leopard with FCP7 where I can import these files. I was hoping to upgrade that system next month when the new iMac comes out
There is definite upside to dragging one's feet on upgrades until necessary and this is a prime example. On a desktop running 10.6, and the XF Utility, FCP 7 L&T works reliably. And like you, that's my workflow for FCPX projects. Running 10,7 on a laptop, the EOS plug-in works well for FCPX imports – no workarounds needed. When I finally get around to updating, I will partition the HD, with one SL partition and the other partition with a later OS. Of course this strategy will work only as long as my hardware holds up.

Why can I not import aif files to garage band?

Once I have created an aiff file in iTunes, why can I not import those files into Garage Band? I'd like to be able to edit some of those files.

I go to garage band and click on create a new project, then browse through the finder and files I want to import are all grayed out -- aiff AND wav files.
You first need to create a new project - in the "new Project panel" select a template (Guitar, piano, ...), not "Open an existing file".
When the project window opens, drag your aiff or wav file onto an empty space in the Timeline, or open the Media Browser from the footer bar in GarageBand and import an aiff song from your iTunes Library.

Lightroom 4 does not import RAW files from D610

I've just purchased Nikon D610, and my Lightroom 4 is not importing RAW files anymore. What is the problem?

The current version of LR 5 is 5.7 so I’d guess LR 6 will be out at some point later this year, in the next few months. If money’s no object then upgrade to LR 5, now and to LR 6 in a few months. If you’ll be very upset to learn you’ve paid $80 to upgrade and then need to pay another upgrade fee for LR 6 then maybe wait and do the DNG thing for a few months, and then upgrade from LR4 to LR6.
The other concern is whether your OS is new enough. I’d suggest you download the latest LR 5.7.1 update and run that in trial mode for a few weeks—you have 30 days, to make sure your computer can handle it, before spending the money and finding out you need a new computer, first.
The other thing to consider is the $10/month Photography Plan subscription which gets you the most up-to-date versions of Lightroom and Photoshop as long as you keep paying. Since you have your old LR4 serial number, you can decide to cancel the subscription after a year and use the LR4 serial number to buy the LR 6 upgrade, then. This assumes that LR 6 will be available as a serial-number-licensed product, still.
The latest LR 5.7.1 update is here:

IPhoto does NOT import " .pictClipping " files ?

Hi,
I copied pictures of artists from Amazon on the Web and put them together with the songs in iTunes Artwork. So far so good.
I wanted to import these pics in iPhoto. I dragged them on the desktop en tried to import them via iPhoto 'Add to library'.
Didn't work. iPhoto does NOT import " .pictClipping " files.
What did I do wrong ? What can I do ?
How can I get these pics in iPhoto ?
Thanks for some light in my darkness...

Hi JOhn,
Dragging the album cover out of iTunes either by the album art window or by the "get info" window will just give you a clipping file that cannot be opened by a graphic program. It is just a clipping that Finder will open.
Did you download the images from Amazon and save them to your hard drive, or did you copy/paste them from Amazon to iTunes song "get info" window?
If you just did a copy.paste, then I suggest you go back to Amazon and download the images to your hard drive. then import into iPhoto. There might be some third party programs that will download the art while your songs are playing on iTunes to make it easier for you. they usually put them on a folder on your hard drive somewhere.
there's even an Applescript program to export your artwork from iTunes and copy it to an image file at a specified location.

There are all kinds of ways of doing this so search around Version Tracker for "itunes album art" for other programs to make it easier for you.

After effects cs6 will not import swf files...

after effects cs6 will not import swf files...keeps saying it's unsupported. why would this be? what do i need to change?

What SWF file? What source? How was it generated? SWF generated by Flex/ Flash Server may contain constructs that are incompatible and SWFs that render all their elements dynamically using Flash drawing primitives and use lots of ActionScript may also not work...

Premiere pro will not import .mov files

Premiere pro CS3 running on Vista 64 bit will not import .mov files. After Effects CS4 has the same problem, it says I don't have the correct version of Quick Time installed. I'm using the 64 bit version 7.6.4 for Vista. Any help would be appreciated.

Welcome to the forum.
Now, what is inside that .MOV "wrapper?" This ARTICLE will give you some background on "wrappers." It is mainly written with .AVI in mind, but translates to most AV file formats, including .MOV.
Now, I use a lot of .MOV files and these are all done in the Animation CODEC. Never an issue for me.
One thing that might aid you is the US$30 upgrade/unlock key to QT Player Pro. It can Export as a bunch of useful formats/CODEC's. Depending on whether your footage is SD, or HD, you can Export most to formats that play perfectly with PrPro.
Good luck,

Flash CS5 will not import mp3 files

With the latest Flash program and the latest Quicktime version, I still can not import mp3 files to my Flash.
No reason is given, it only tells me it can't be done.

that's usually an mp3 setting problem. open your mp3 in audio editing software and resave.

Hi, I can not import video files into iMovie.

I can open iMovie however can not import video files. the iMovie application just hangs and I have to force quit to start again and once again get the same problem.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled iMovie.

No sound in imported PowerPoint files

Although I have no difficulty in playing any .pps file sent to me (the pictures are fine), however no music or other SFX plays. I followed the suggestion to change .pps to .ppt, but it makes no difference: everything still plays in beautiful dumb show. I'd be grateful for any suggestions, thank you.

He doesn't know. He just passed it on to me. Feel free to send me a .pps or .ppt with sound, if you wish. I'm [email protected] I should add that I use Keynote to handle PowerPoint files. Also, the file has a .pps extension, which I converted to .ppt after the initial failure, also to no avail. Lastly, I alrready use flip4mac with no problems I can recall. Apologies for the piecemeal description of my situation.

ITunes will not import mp4-files.

For some reason iTune will not import mp4-files into iTunes. The files only contain audio, no video. I know that mp4 is a format that combines the two.
The files were generated in an earlier version of iTunes, like in 2006 or something. They were imported from CD's. I can locate them just fine on my computer and they play without problem in Windows Media Player.
The problem is that when I try to import them the way that iTunes want me to import files its like they don't exist. ITunes locates the folders and sub-folders, but its like there's no content in the folders...
I've tried changing my import settings but nothing seems to help...
Have any of you encountered a similar problem, could you fix it and how?
I've contacted Apple-support but they were unable (incompetent) to assist me...
To me it seems like the only option left is to convert all the files, like 2 GB, from mp4 to mp3.
Thankful for any help I could get solving this ***** of an issue...

iTunes can handle just about any file format that works with QuickTime and will play any file purchased or downloaded from the iTunes Store. If you've got video files that end with a .mov, .m4v, or .mp4 file extension, you can import them to iTunes with ease. However, the video especially the MP4 video must meet the following specifications: it must be encoded as 540 kbit/s (minimum) MPEG-4 video (H.264) with an approximately 128 kbit/s AAC audio track or encoded as 1.5 Mbit/s (minimum) MPEG-4 video (H.264) with a minimum 128 kbit/s AAC audio track. If not, you will fail to import MP4 to iTunes.
Even if your MP4 files meet the above specifications and are added to iTunes successfully, it may still fail to sync to iOS devices. For iPhones, iPads, and video-capable iPods play videos in more specific video formats and codecs.
Here is a detailed guide to get iTunes unfriendly MP4 to iTunes
