Keynote vs Powerpoint

A friend of mine sent me a Powerpoint presentation with sound. I cannot open the presentation in Keynote with the embedded sound track. My wife can open the doc with Power Point on her Dell and it will play the embedded sound. Any suggestions, besides installing PP on my Mac?
Thanks

Hello, Quetal,
This might work:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=e25cb1e5-209c-4a58-b 283-23e84b616477
It is a Microsoft PowerPoint Viewer 98, published in 2003. Their page doesn't address the "sound" issue.
Good Luck.

How to open keynote in powerpoint

I want to open keynote in powerpoint and I exported it but when I open to another pc. It doesn't work

PowerPoint does not open Keynote files.
However, Keynote presentations can be exported as PowerPoint files.

Presentation slides made in keynote or powerpoint do not play correctly on keynote for ios

I am working with 3 colleagues on some simple slides (foreign language vocabulary) that we build in the most recent versions of either keynote or powerpoint, then import into keynote for iOS. The slides simply play with the word, then the definition appears. Whichever appliction we use to build the slides (same thing happens with a PC/Powerpoint), about the first 10 or 15 slides work fine, then none of the following slides have the animation.
To repair, we have to select each slide individually and go to the 'wrench' settings, select the second word, and select animate.
Is this a bug with a fix?
Is there a way to repair all the slides in a file at once?
Thanks.

yup, that's a glitch (bug, feature?) in the QT export. You simply can't interrupt the playback on slides with a button until everything on that slide is done. Works fine in Keynote, doesn't work fine in QT.
The only way I know to fix it is to learn how to use LiveStage Pro and edit the sprite tracks so they work properly. And I have no idea how to do that.

No audio on keynote from Powerpoint.

Went importing Powerpoint presentation I am unable to get the audio.

Rely to Eward
I opened directly from my email on my Apple laptop. I opened it using Keynote from PowerPoint file. How do I change it and insert anything? It just did not have audio output. Period.
BTW, I did the same thing on any PC. Voila! No problem. PowerPoint on PC works like a charm. I am not happy with Keynote that I thought would take care of my PowerPoint files from my Macbook pro. What else could I do? Hopefully, Apple will update to solve this audio music problem of PowerPoint in the near future. Only Apple authority could help me.
I wonder if I could write my feedback from the Keynote purchased ($9.99). It wasted my dollars. Maybe I can have refund.

Why cant I export or save keynote as powerpoint?

Why cant I export or save keynote as powerpoint?

you still have not said what happens, does it save any kind of file, does it freeze, does it give an error message?
In the mean time I suggest the following software repair:
Delete iWork in entirely, use Appcleaner to do this quickly, its free.
empty the trash
download iWork again from the App store
reinstall iwork
repair permissions: applications > utilities > disk utility > first aid: click on the system disc then click repair disc permissions
reboot and report back your findings
Appcleaner Download

How do you move photo's from Iphoto to keynote or powerpoint?

How do you move photo's from iphoto to keynote or powerpoint? How do you insert them into slides?

iPhoto '08, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3)
Your signature suggests you are asking about iPhoto on a mac:
To use the Media Browser in "Pages" as Douglas McLaughlin suggest:
Click "Media" in the toolbar, select the "Photos" tab in the "Media" browser panel, select "iPhoto"; for example:

Keynote or powerpoint in Muse

Is there a way to put Keynote or PowerPoint presentations in Muse? I have them already output with an "index" file and an "assets" folder. Don't really want to go back tot eh original and output them as JPG files because transitions will be lost.

I personally find Keynote unreliable when used to make "recorded" presentations and would not use it for this, all my other work runs perfectly.
This comes down to personal choice and the level of performance you want from the presentations, occaisional home use will be fine, professional use; a waste of time.

Keynote and PowerPoint

I am considering using Keynote instead of PowerPoint. 2 Questions:
1. Can you save a Keynote file as a PowerPoint file. That is, export to PowerPoint?
2. Can you import a PowerPoint presentation into Keynote?
Thank you whoever.

That one's a little more nuanced.
What is your aim with a presentation application? Do you want to be able to easily share your slides with the audience afterwards? Are you looking for features that will place your presentation above others? Have you used PowerPoint for some time and feel that there are certain features you MUST have in order to be productive?
Keynote can utilize pretty much any image and many types of video and audio. You will find that you're thinking less about what you need to alter to make it work and more about "what do I need to get my point across" (because whether or not the media is in the right format becomes secondary). PowerPoint has been in development for a VERY long time and has picked up a wide range of features that many are accustomed to. Plus, there's the fact that almost any office computer anywhere will be able to run your presentation in a crunch.
Keynote is more of a "work for you to make your presentation look good". PowerPoint might not look as good, but almost anyone can "Share and Enjoy" your presentation. How will you use it?

Clunky export of Keynote to Powerpoint

I've created a Keynote presentation with add-on points and graphics that I need to move to PowerPoint. I tried doing it internally using Keynote's export, but the images are in disarray in Keynote. My Microsoft Office/PowerPoint application was created in 2000. It has gosh-awful "dissolves" (pixels that break up) If I upgraded to the 2004 Microsoft Office program, would I have the same problems?
Does Microsoft have a new Mac Office program coming out? Any recommendations for how to make a smoother move to Powerpoint?
Happy holidays,

2004 does have soft shadows and proper cross fades (though you might have to try a few that sound like dissolve or crossfade as I can't remember what they call it). It also supports PNG with transparency, so exporting a Keynote file from say, Keynote to PPT 2004 actually looks pretty good (though you lose the nice transitions and text effects).
But that's usually NOT the problem. The problem is taking the file to any other version of PPT (let's hope PPT 2007 fixes that). If you're expecting folks to view this on a Windows machine that's NOT running PPT 2007, stay away from soft shadows and transparent stuff. In my tests soft shadows come over to windows as light grey solid shadows, and boy to they look like crap.

Keynote into powerpoint?

I have a presentation to give in a class that is due in a few weeks and I will be making it on Keynote on my Macbook. I will need to transfer the file onto a flash drive and open it on my teachers computer. My teachers computer is a PC and I would have to open it on Microsoft Powerpoint. I know that it will not work and that I must convert the Keynote file. Can someone explain to me how to convert my Keynote file into a Powerpoint file to open on a PC?

with the presentation open in Keynote:
File > Export > PowerPoint tab > next > give it a name > save to desktop
then drag the file from desktop to your USB Drive
bear in mind that any special builds, transitions or fonts may not be available in PowerPoint so keep the presentation simple.

How do I transfer Keynote to powerpoint without losing video?

Hello, I have to deliver a presentation in my master degree and i did it all with keynote and have a lots of videos. when i transfer it to powerpoint all the videos are gone. Can you help me with this problem?
Thanx very much
Best regards,
Gonçalo Fonseca from Portugal

Only music you purchased in iTunes can be moved from your iPad to your Mac.
Music in general goes the other way - from computer to iPad.
If you want to transfer music you purchased in iTunes from your iPad to your Mac, here's how:
Plug your iPad into iTunes, don't let it sync, then from iTunes' menu on your computer, do File > Devices > [your iPad] > Transfer Purchases

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.

Keynote conversion: Powerpoint found a problem with content....

Hi all,
MS office is killing me and I'd appreciate any pointers and comments
Here's the situation:
1. Keynote file (multi-revised over the years) exported to powerpoint file XYZ in New-MBP
2. New-MBP opens XYZ and gets "found a problem with content in..."
3. Click on "repair", open up XYZ, and get bunch of blank pages
4. Same XYZ file copied to Old-MBP(freshly installed, now my home media server, not many apps installed).
5. Same version of Office 2011 installed in Old-MBP, opened the file just fine!
(so the problem is not NewMBP Keynote)
6. Created a test account in New-MBP
7. Attempted to open XYZ with Powerpoint
8. Same "found a problem with content in..."
9. Click on "repair", open up XYZ, and get bunch of blank pages
(so the problem is not user/privileges, but the NewMBP system-wide issue?)
10. In New MBP, created a brand new Keynote file, did some light work
11. Exported new keynote file to powerpoint file RRR
12. In New-MBP, RRR opened under Powerpoint 2011 just fine!
(so the problem might be the original multi-modified Keynote file?)
(But its powerpoint file XYZ opened in Old-MBP just fine!)
I've uninstalled and reinstalled Office 2011, with SP1, still cannot open XYZ properly.
I've copied all Office 2011 files from Old-MBP to New MBP, still cannot open XYZ properly.
I"ve googled the problem and tried anything I could find, still cannot open XYZ properly. (deleting presenter notes... etc)
My current conclusion: some kind of software system conflicts in the New-MBP.
Anyone with any ideas?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Will

Hi Will,
Met the same issues and spent hours to find the problem. And guess what ? I found it :-)
For some reason, groups are not supported by Powerpoint converted files.
This is why every slide that contains group is not converted.
The workaround is to ungroup all the groups in your keynote file (alt+cmd+shift+G) and you'll see your slides being converted again.
I'm not sure where the issue is coming from. I would tend to think it should be resolve by the Apple Keynote team.
Not sure whether it has been escalated so far.
There might be some other small issues. One or two slides were not properly converted although they were not containing group, but this should fix most of them.
Have fun degrouping your slides

Can Keynote play PowerPoint slideshows with audio intact?

I mean iOS Keynote on iPad and OS X Keynote on Mac OS X! To play PowerPoint slideshows with built in audio and not just throw up slides.

Keynote isn't at all good at dealing with audio, so whether it's worth trying largely depends on the content of your powerpoints and how many you need to transfer.
If it were me, I think I'd look at using OpenOffice - it may make a better job of things for you.
