Keynote will not open in Powerpoint for Mac 2011

I followed all the instructions for saving the Keynote presentation for Powerpoint. But, when Powerpoint for Mac 2011 tries to open it, it will not open and gives me an error message indicating it needs repair; I click repair, it says there is something missing. Help!!!

There have been many postings on this problem recently. It seems that opening the exported PP in 2004 and saving it will then allow it to open in PP 2011. If you don't have an older version of PP, try to download OpenOffice or some other free office program, open the exported PP in there and then try in PP 2011.

    New Message, reply, or forward window does not open in Outlook for Mac 2011
    Outlook acts as if I am pressing a dummy button.

    Hi friends,
    I have the same problem.
    Mountain Lion + Office 2011 + Safari 6.1.2 (8537.74.9)
    It is not clear to me what is the relation between Safari and this problem.
    I have Chrome installed as well and it is set as default browser. Is this involved?
    If yes how can I solve the problem?
    Please let me know.
    Many thanks.

  • WMV Files Not Playing In Powerpoint For Mac 2011 (Lion OS)?

    Hi guys!
    I recently upgraded to Lion (and I think I like it) BUT I have been putting together a Power Point presentation for work (I'm a University Lecturer) and trying to embed some movies with no luck... I insert the files and go to play them, but all I get is audio. I have tried MOV, AVI, WMV, MP4, etc, etc... no joy. I have tried Flip 4 Mac, QuickTime and VLC... no joy. When I play the embedded file, no video, just audio!
    Before I upgraded to Lion, it was esy... convert the clips, inset into PowerPoint, and away I go!
    HELP!!!

    I suggest you post your question on Microsoft's own forums for their Mac products, as it's their software you're having issues with:

  • Keynote will not open file I created in keynote

    Created the file in 6.5.2 yesterday.  Keynote will not open it from 6.5.2.  will not open from 5.1.1. On advise from this discussion list Zipped it, sent to myself.  Uncompress - will not open.  Sent to different email address - will not open.  Tried everything in this forum.  Went to app store, would not let me purchase because current version is latest.  Think I purchased some version for Iphone and Ipad in desperation - doesn't seem to have been downloaded but was charged for it.  Really really frustrated with the new Apple - where nothing works. Please help.

    Try resetting Keynote;   perform all the steps in the order listed:
    remove Keynote version 6.5, you must use an application removal tool for this procedure to work:
    Appcleaner is free, I use Appzapper
    empty the trash
    shut Down the Mac (Apple menu > Shut Down)
    wait 10 seconds, then press the power button
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold down the Shift key,
    release the Shift key when you see the grey Apple screen
    start up will take a few minutes longer than usual as the Mac is performing a software repair
    restart the Mac normally, (don’t hold down any keys during startup)
    install Keynote from the Mac App Store

  • I need to make a pdf document, made in photoshop, 'page turn' and then add it to my website. I know I can do this in indesign but indesign will not open pdf files for some inexplicable reason. Any ideas how I can do it without completely starting again?

    I need to make a pdf document, already made in photoshop, 'page turn' and then add it to my website as an e-brochure. I know I can do this in indesign but indesign will not open pdf files for some inexplicable reason. Any ideas how I can do it without completely starting again?

    Hello waitingone,
    please try this (all terms are translated from my German programs to my best knowledge):
    1. Did the creator of the pdf file enable the import options?
    2. See import options: choose an other visibility option for your layer.
    3. Let you show the import options and click into one with a black background and try these out (often a gray is selected).
    4. See trimming: try the different modes there. Often works: "Media".
    5. Is the pdf file (eg from Word) correctly created?
    6. Is the PDF file protected? >>> no import possible.
    7. If that does not help, store the pdf file in Acrobat, repair possible errors, run the PDF Optimizer before placing in InDesign.
    Good luck!

    Best of luck.

  • Movie files embedded in Powerpoint for Mac 2011 play audio, but only show black (no video).

    I'm trying to embed a video in a presentation using Powerpoint for Mac 2011.  It successfully imports the video, but when I try to play the video in the slide it only plays the audio and black (no video).  I have tried .mov and .wmv files and neither works.  I have Flip4Mac on the machine which is a MacBook Pro 15", if that makes any difference.  The video in either format plays outside of the Powerpoint presentation and if I send the presentation to another MacBook Pro the video in the slide plays no problem.  Anyone have any ideas other than not using a Microsoft product on a Mac?

  • HT6114 After the latest OS X update (10.9.2) I cannot open Outlook (Office for MAC 2011). Outlook flashes briefly then nothing happens. How can I get Outlook to open?

    After the latest OS X update (10.9.2) I cannot open Outlook (Office for MAC 2011).  Outlook flashes briefly but does not open.  How can I get Outlook to open?

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports (not "Diagnostic and Usage Messages") for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report — they're very long and not helpful.

  • My macbook is loaded with microsoft work and every time I try and open the program I get an error reading and it will not open.  Powerpoint and the other applications still respond!

    my macbook is loaded with microsoft word for macs and every time I try and open the program I get an error reading and it will not open. This is what it says:
    The application Microsof Word quit eunexpectedly.  Powerpoint and the other applications still respond!

    The joys of Microsoft!
    Maybe the preferences file is corrupted.  You should be able to find the Word preferences file in the folder:
    your user name/Library/Preferences
    Its name is com.microsoft.Word.plist
    I suggest you drag this another folder and try Word again. 
    If that doesn't work then you might find clearing the cache files will fix the problem.  You can do this manually but I never bother. Instead I use a program like Snow Leopard Cache Cleaner (shareware) or Onyx (free). These programs do lots of other maintenance jobs so it's worth having at least one of them.

  • Photoshop CS4 will not open after upgrading to Mac OSX Yosemite

    I recently upgraded to Mac OSX Yosemite and unfortunately, my Photoshop CS4 will not open. The message says it requires Java SE6. I now have Java 7 update 71. I would appreciate suggestions from anyone who can help to resolve this problem. Thank you.

    Thank you very much, Chris Cox. I followed the link in the error message to Apple's support page, downloaded and installed the Java for Mac OSX.
    I can now open my PS CS4 again. What a relief!
    Many thanks for your fast response and accurate advice.
    Cheers!

  • AD stored user Photos do not display in Lync for Mac 2011

    I'm using Lync for Mac 2011 14.0.9 and the my user photo as well as the photos of other users who are using photos stored in our AD do not display.  This behaviour has been occurring at least since 14.0.5.  The behaviour occurs regardless of whether
    I sign in using Kerberos or name / Password.  This behaviour is common for all our Mac lync users. The only photos that display are ones from windows lync users that have chosen to use a photo that is stored on the internet somewhere.
    The Lync for Mac 2011 client is running against Lync Server 2010 and Exchange 2010 servers.
    I also have the common problem that I cannot search the global address book for lync users.  Maybe this is related but none of the reports I've seen about the address book search have mentioned anything about photos not displaying. 
    Anyone Experience similar issues or know where I could start to find the problem with the contacts display?  It used to work correctly way back in 14.0.2 and subsequently an update around 14.0.5 killed the features for me.
    Oh and the Mac is running OSX 10.9 but the issues also occurred in OSX 10.8
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    Did you choose “Show a picture from a web address” on Windows Lync 2010 client? If yes, on Windows Lync 2010 client, choose “Default corporate picture” instead of “Show a picture from a web address”. Then open Lync 2011 on Mac computer to test the issue.
    The choose will sync to all Lync clients for the same Lync account.
