Missing sound in PowerPoint presentation in KeyNote

Sorry if this has been asked - my search came up empty:
A friend sent me an email with a .pps file attached. I used KeyNote to open it, and the slide show is displayed perfectly, but the musical background is not produced. I can't see any KeyNote prefs I have overlooked. Is it possibly something the sender needs to do before emailing it? (I believe this is a file that my friend received, watched on his Windows box and then forwarded to me, rather than one he created so the sound was already saved with the pictures by whoever put it together.)

That is not a feature in the Pages app for iPad.

    Firefox doesn't have any built-in ability to display PowerPoint files in a tab. You can check how Firefox is set to handle PowerPoint files in the Options dialog:
    "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Applications
    ''This list may take a while to load.'' In the search box above the list, you can type pow and let Firefox filter it down. Usually these would say "Always Ask" but you might have customized them to "Use Microsoft Powerpoint".
    There are some sites that have a Flash-based PowerPoint viewer, such as OneDrive/SkyDrive and SlideShare. Maybe Gmail has one now, too, I haven't checked. But all such sites also should have a separate download button, either before showing their viewer or as part of the viewer. If there are particular sites where you notice this problem, maybe someone know how to bypass the viewer on that site and go straight to a download.

  • When I open a powerpoint presentation in Keynote I only see the first 8 slides

    When I open a powerpoint presentation in Keynote I only see the first 8 slides.  Any ideas?

    Curious.
    If I had this problem I would try the followinng:
    open the PPt file in PowerPoint (or Open Office for Mac, which is a free and  reliable option to MS Office) save it  as a PPt file and open in Keynote
    open in PPt or Open Office,  save all the slides as individual TIFF files and bring those into Keynote ( builds would not work on individual text or objects on a slide but at least you have the content)
    Open Office

  • Changing template background from a powerpoint presentation in Keynote?

    Is simple to change the background template from a powerpoint presentation in Keynote?
    In powerpoint it is very simple but I need to know if it is also in keynote and how, of course without erase the data from the presentation.  I have many powerpoint, excel and word files from MsOffice 07' and I need to know if I can change to iWorks without problems and if it will take me to much time to do it.

    It could not be simpler;   click on Themes in the tool bar and select a theme:

  • Problems with Converted PowerPoint Presentation in Keynote

    Hello,
    I recently loaded a 29Mb Powerpoint file into Keynote on my 64Gb iPad 2.  Whenever I launch Keynote, the 29 Mb presentation loads automatically and I cannot access any of my other Keynote presentations.  I've tried powering off and stopping the Keynote app to no avail.  In addition, I cannot load the Keynote Menu options at the top of the screen while my 29 Mb presentation is active.  Has anyone else encounted this type of behavior in Keynote when converting large Powerpoint files on an iPad?
    Thanks.

    Thank you for your reply. I agree with you that it seems the GB iLife preview file is not updating as one would expect it to. Sharing the file to iTunes then importing to Keynote does work, without all the extra preferences changing and the extra save. I would think that as more people switch to Keynote from PowerPoint, those who like the ability to sync slide groups to multiple audio files will find GarageBand a great way to do this. But the export of edited files from GB to Keynote should be easier.

  • How do I convert a powerpoint presentation to Keynote?

    I am new to Mac and have a lot of Powerpoint presentations. I would like to try to convert some to Keynote. Can anyone give me hints on how to do this without spending a huge amount of time. Thanks in advance.

    Welcome to the discussions, Vickt*.
    Keynote can open most older PowerPoint files with a few issues that remain (like fonts and some features that only PowerPoint has). The best thing to do is just open a few to see what your problems are going to be. After going through those few, you'll have a better idea of what issues you're going to see down the line.
    There's no Batch way to do this, though, you have to open each one in Keynote then Save it to create a .key file.

  • Why can't I open my Powerpoint presentations with Keynote in my new Ipad 4 although?

    Im using Icloud to share the powerpoint file from my windows to my Ipad. But, I still can open my powerpoint presentations neither in my Iphone.. Can someone help me, please. Thank you.

    I have checked the list of supported cameras and mine appears to be there.
    Yes, the Panasonic FZ45 is listed but it was first supported by Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) 6.2.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    Then go to this table to see which versions of Photoshop are compatible with ACR 6.2: CS5 and later. Not CS3.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html
    So your options are to upgrade to CS6 or subscribe to CC (check out the Photoshop Photography Program: PS CC + Lightroom 5).
    Or download the free DNG converter, convert all your FZ75 Raw files to DNGs then open the DNGs in CS3

  • Bad sound when recording presentation in keynote with animation

  • Font conversions to Powerpoint 08 from Keynote 09

    I have a font called CAC Leslie that I am trying to bring in to a powerpoint presentation from keynote. When I export it out the font shows up on the powerpoint font list but the actual characters show as some type of sans serif font like arial or verdana. Is there any sort of plugin that can remedy this so the font shows as it should?

    Is the PowerPoint presentation on the same machine, or a different one? Both PowerPoint and Keynote use the fonts that are on the presenting machine -- if the required font is not available, it is substituted. There is no plugin for either application that addresses this, as you simply need to have the required font installed.
    As a workaround, you could make the text into a graphic in Keynote.
