Power point 2011 on mac hangs without opening on maverick

I have had Maverick on my macbook pro for about a month. ppt has been working well but today when I open it the program just hangs and doesn't open.
Any ideas??

Which version are you using? 14.3.9 is the latest - there were some problems with some Office modules and Mavericks before that update.
Go to another Office app and select "Check for Updates" under the Help menu.

I am trying to transfer a power point from my mac to a flash drive to work on a pc? Can't figure out how to get it to work

can anyone help me get my power point from my mac to a flash drive to work on a pc?

And make sure the flash drive is formatted as FAT32. The PC won't read anything from a Mac OS formatted drive, and your Mac can't write to a NTFS (Windows) formatted drive.
If both the Mac and PC support it, exFAT is also possible and allows for larger file sizes.

How do i find words, excel and power point in my mac book air ?

how do i find words, excel and power point in my mac book air ?

You would have to purchase, install, and update them first.
They would be installed into /Applications, probably into an MS Office folder. The installer may have placed aliased copies of the icons in your Dock, or if not, use the Finder > Go menu > Applications, and have a look around. When you find the applications, you can drag/drop the principal three onto your Dock — where a single click can launch them.

I can't use power point on my mac now I have Lion.

Now that I've had to install Lion, I cant use power point on my mac. What can be done about this?
Are there any other programmes I can use? Or do I need to reinstall it?

Office 2004 will not run on Lion because it uses "PowerPC" code.
Office 2008 and later work in Lion.

My power point on my and tis not opening

power point on my mac is not working and how would i update it to match the current osx update

The latest updates can be downloaded from Microsoft

I just updated my OS to Leopard and know Power Point from my office suite is opening, or tries to after a reboot and hangs when you try to open it.

I just updated my Mac Book Pro to leopard 10.6.8, and now Power Point from my office suite angs, and when I start up or re boot the laptop Power Point automatically opens and then just hangs, the only way to close is to force close.
Does any one know of any similar issues.
Thanks

Apple Scripting for Microsfot Power Point 2011

Hi,
I am having problem with following apple script. This is working fine with Office 2004 but when i am using office 2011 then on action is changing to «class BCOa». Can any one please help me in this. I will be very thankful
tell application "Microsoft PowerPoint"
set btnAbout to make new command bar control at command bar ¬
"CPS" with properties {control type:control button, button style:button caption}
-- Set button style in "with properties" block
set width of btnAbout to 60
set name of btnAbout to "About"
set *on action* of btnAbout to "cpsHandleAbout"
set tooltip text of btnAbout to "About CPS for PowerPoint"
end tell

Hm, not sure if this helps, but perhaps... first create this command button by hand...
then run
tell application "Microsoft PowerPoint"
get properties of command bar control "About" of command bar "CPS"
end tell
this returns the properties of this button...
something like:
{class:command bar button, begin group:false, built in:true, name:"About", description text:"", enabled:true, height:22, help context ID: 0, help file:"", id:2520, entry_index:1, left position:674, parameter:"", priority:3, tag:"", tooltip text:"&About", top:324, control type:control button, visible:true, width:28, button face is default:false, face id:23, button state:button state up, button style:button automatic}
If the button uses a build in command you will get to know the id of this command...
e.g. the ID is 23 (open file)
make new command bar control at command bar ¬
"CPS" with properties {id:23}
and this would create such a new button...
But I am not sure who to get a list of all action ids...

My Mac hang without any reason after 10.9.1 update

In my opinion, Mavericks is another dark age of Apple user lime me. My Mac is a retina MBP mid 2012. Mavericks 10.9.1 is getting worse.
1. WiFi just stop working, it freeze and hang my Mac. I have to hard reboot. This happen quite frequently. Clicking on WiFi menu bar us Nong responsive.
2. My Mac randomly reboot itself when lid closed and sleep
3. My Mac just hang. mouse is working bug the screen, all apps, and keyboard is not responsive. Pressing Caps Lock respond by lighting green LED. but it do not work to enter anything. Have to hard reboot. No crash log so far after reboot.
My hardware has been checked at Apple Service Center and all are normal.
Apple, fix this immediately. OSX is getting closer to Windows in term of instability.

i called apple support today. went through the same things with them, they recommended reinstalling OS X. so i did. and it's now fixed.
so i guess if you are experiencing this same issue, as a last resort before taking the computer into an apple store, just reinstall the operating system.
when you reboot, after the startup-sound hold (SHIFT + R) and choose reinstall OS X from the option menu that is presented.

Outdated keynote? What to open power point docs with?

This is my second Mac and it didn't come with Keynote like my old mac did but I had some of my stuff transferred to my new computer from my old one. My old Keynote doesn't work with Snow Leopard and this computer. Do we have any program in this computer that can open power point documents?? When I get a email with a power point attachment I can't even open it anymore.
I have a year of One on One I got with this computer so I can learn more about this mac than I did my last one but I'm about an hour away from the closest mac store to set up any of these appointments. I am trying to watch some of the videos that I have access to with my One on One but nothing I have found so far addresses this question I have.
Thanks for any help.

I think he was referring to the part where you said you thought the $ you paid for your Mac entitled you to an app to read powerpoint files.
You can ask Apple for that here:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html <
I know what he meant. But I think I have a legitimate complaint. Nothing more frustrating than to get a document that I can't open. Instead of garage band or Chess, maybe an app a little more useful. So your feedback link is very much appreciated!

MAC POWER POINT TO CAPTIVATE

WHEN I TRY TO BEGIN A CAPTIVATE PROJECT FROM AN IMPORTED POWER POINT ON MY MAC ONLY THE LEFT HALF OF THE SLIDE IMPORTS. I HAVE TRIED DIFFERENT SIZES OF FILES TO SAVE BUT IT DOESN'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE WHETHER I USE THE ORIGINAL POWER POINT SIZE OR THE SMALLER IPAD SIZE. BOTH GIVE ME ONLY 1/2 MY SLIDE. WHAT IS GOING ON? HOW CAN I IMPORT MY ENTIRE POWER POINT SLIDE.
THANKS

Hello Cinjac,
Can you tell me the version of Adobe Captivate you are using ( Go to Help> About Adobe Captivate) along with the version of Powerpoint and Mac OS ?
Can you attach a screenshot of the issue you are facing ?
Thanks and Regards

Power point on mac

how do i create a power point on my mac desk top

There are also free programs to create digital presentations, but fewer and fewer are available for the pre-2006 iMacs this forum covers. That is why it's important to do answer Klaus1's question about your OSX version.
Doing "About this Mac" from your Apple menu and telling us what that shows about your processor will also help.

however running it I get told the below

Make sure your Office Applications are in your Applications folder and have not been moved elsewhere or the update will not find them.

Inserting a video into Power Point Slide

I am using Power Point 2011 version 14.4.5 on my MacBook Air with OSX 10.9.5. When I insert a video clip (mp4) into a new slide it plays fine but when I close the reopen the file it is a picture of the first frame and I can't play it.

farmerpete
What version of Premiere Elements are you working with and on what computer operating system is it running? What version of PowerPoint do you have? Background information for now.
A prel file is the project file for a Premiere Elements project. It is not a video file that can be imported into non supported software.
You cannot even open a Premiere Elements project prel in another project.prel.
You can create a Timeline in a Premiere Elements project and export that Timeline to a file saved to a format that is compatible with PowerPoint.
And, then you Insert/Video that file into your PowerPoint presentation. With Microsoft PowerPoint 2010, this seems to be what is supported video-wise
Please review, and then let us know if you need clarification on any of the above.
Thanks.

Outlook 2011 for Mac keeps asking me for password

I had been using Windows Live Mail (pop 3) for years until last week; rarely, if ever had any problems downloading my mail.
I just bought a Mac computer and am using Outlook 2011 for Mac; my operating system is Maverick (if that means anything to anyone).
The BT tech guys suggested I set up my mail accounts as IMAP so that all mail read on the server syncs etc. with my Outlook. It all sounded great. However, ever since I installed Outlook for Mail it asks me for my password numerous times during the day (for each of my 5 email accounts)....it usually does this when the computer has been in sleep mode, i.e., when Outlook tries to download mail from the server.
Something else to mention is that whilst the BT tech guys set up my IMAP accounts with:
Incoming Port - 993 (requires SSL)
Outgoing Port - 465 (requires SSL/TLS)
The BT Mail department (today) told me to revert back to 110 (outgoing) and 25 (incoming) and to call the incoming and outgoing mail.btinternet.com instead of the smtp.........(I forget the rest of it now) that the tech guys set it up as.
I've since reverted the incoming and outgoing to mail.btinternet.com but haven't changed the numbers to 110 and 25 because the BT Mail guy said "if you are able to send/receive using the 993 and 465...just leave them. And I *am* able to send/receive. The problem is more the password prompt and the message "server not recognised" or whatever it says....I can't recall the exact words.
I phoned Apple and they of course say it is an Outlook problem; not an Apple one, though they did help me delete the mail settings in their keychain thingie so that I could put in my passwords again (all passwords are correct by the way).
Apple did ask, however if my internet service provider are happy for me to have mail set up as IMAP; she epxlained that it really isn'y *my* choice; it's the server people's choice.
My questions are therefore: 1) who/what is my server? Is it BT? My email addresses are all btinternet.com and I'm also using BT Broadband for both home and my business/office.
I just don't understand why Outlook keeps prompting me for password so my second question is 2) does anyone know why I am being prompted for my password as often as I am? Does this have to do with IMAP settings? with Outlook? or with my Server? or possibly all of the above? and how does one identify the real issue?
Many thanks!

Hi Steve,
Thanks for this-yes, eventually, I do send/receive fine, once I've poppedd my passwords in.
I think you are right in that BT seem to be having unique server/login issues...at least this is what I've read elsewhere too.
Iroonically, this AM I opened my new Mac and have *not* been asked for passwords so perhaps the changes I made in the settings yesterday (keychain reset in Mac) and also changing it from smtp.....to mail.btinternet.com solved the issue...who knows? All I know is this last week I've nearly lost the will to live on more than one occasion, from the transition from PC Windows Live Mail to Outlook for Mac.
