Powerpoint 2013 - Issues opening presentations from earlier versions

When opening a presentation created in a previous version of powerpoint I get a message saying:
"Powerpoint Found a problem with Content in <document> Powerpoint can attempt to repaire the presentation"
If you click repair you then get a message saying the file couldn't be replaired.
Now this is documented in other threads and the solution is just to open the file properties when it's on your local system and then click "Unblock" at the bottom of the properties box.
This is very annoying especially if you receive multiple presentations daily. Is there any way you can set PP2013 to just open legacy documents?

I guess these pptx files are created by PowerPoint 2010. If so, try to install the following update in the machine with PowerPoint 2010 to avoid the issue happen again.

Another solution is set component security settings back to the defaults:
1. Open Control Panel.
2. Open Administrative Tools.
3. Open Component Services and expand the tree under Console Root to
Computers --> My Computer.
4. Right-click My Computer and select Properties.
5. Select the Default Properties tab and set the following values:
Default Authentication Level: Connect
Default Impersonation Level: Identify

Opening projects in CS4 from earlier versions of Premiere

I have various projects in Premiere 2.0. They work fine.
I tried opening one in Premiere CS4. It mostly works, but I found a small hickup where a transition (cross disolve) is quite messed up. Otherwise, it seems the project is playing the same in CS4.
My question is: how accurate is it to open projects in CS4 from an earlier version? I don't really want to have to go through every second of every project to make sure it works properly, yet I would like to upgrade to CS4.
What's the normal protocol for this? I'm sure people deal with having to open projects from earlier version of Premiere all the time.

Harm,
Thanks for your answer -- it's helpful. I will follow your advice.
What blows my mind is what the legions of editors out there do when they have to old up an old project? This must happen all the time!
Do editors have to maintain two machines -- one with the old version of Premiere to open up their old project, and another machine to work on new projects? Oh, I guess they need one machine for each version they've ever created a Premiere project in. That's like 5 machines.
Seriously, what to people do when they have to open up an old project for whatever reason? It's seems like if you open it up in the latest version of Premiere, you would have to go through every second of the project very carefully to make sure there are errors introduced -- way time consuming.

I installed the InDesign CC Testversion and now i try to open INDD-Files from earlier Version. Always i get the error "This file is made by an earlier Version...." but it´s CC that is the latest Version. What is the problem ? Should i have to convert the files ?

Adobe has been using confusing version names for at least five years.
There are now two versions labeled CC, version 9 and version 10 (also known as CC 2014). Version 10 is the latest, and if you attempt to open a version 10 file in Version 9 that is not fully patched you will get an error message telling you that the file cannot be opened. The latest patch for version 9 should use a cloud-based service at Adobe to convert version 10 files to IDML and allow you to open that.
I suspect you may be using an older operating system. Version 10 requires that your system runs at least OS X 10.7 or Windows 7 SP1 and if you are not it will not even be offered to you.

Open document from newer version in an older one?

I'm new here, and maybe it's a stupid question for most of you. But if I make documents in InDesign CS6, can I open them in CS5?

The longer answer is the .indd file cannot be opened in any earlier version, but you can export or Save As .idml and that will open in versions back to CS4, with some caveats. You will lose any new features that didn't exist inthe earlier version, text may reflow, and if you have placed pages from a newer version doc, even .idml will fail in an older version.

Updating projects from earlier versions of FCPX to FCPX 10.01.3. FCP does'nt see the project i want to update.

I've successfully updated projects that were already in previous version libraries, but have some archived ones from earlier versions of FCPX which the program does not see to update. Any ideas on how to do this!

I am assuming you mean projects from 10.0.x
You need to place them in the traditional location "Final Cut Projects" (at the root of an external drive or inside your Movies folder), and likewise your events inside a folder "Final Cut Events".
Then use File->Update Projects and Events...

Saving in IDML shifts my text boxes when opened in an earlier version

I am saving my InDesign 2014 files in IDML. When others open it in an earlier version, my text boxes shift and the copy get jumbled. How do I prevent this from happening?

What version of InDesign do "they" run?
Can you show a "before" / "after" after doing a "Select All" also showing the frame edges and the "links" of possibly threaded text frames? Also show "Hidden Text".
Ask for a screenshot from "them".
Something like that:

PS. Edit: Could not insert screenshot from my inbox here in the forum…
Now the screenshot should be visible.

Keyword problem - assigned kw from earlier versions won't work in 1.3

All of my images are organized by keywords and I've just noticed that most of the keywords assigned in earlier versions of LR are not working. The keyword palette is there, it says there's x amount of photos with each keyword, a thumbnail displays in the navigator window but nothing shows up in the main Library view. I get the message "no photos match this filter".
Any ideas? I really don't want to have to go through and re-keyword everything.
I have tried optimizing the db, and also selected all photos and hit Ctrl-S to write metadata and still no go.

Now I feel like an idiot. I had a filter on. Thanks Kenneth.

Template From Earlier Version

My website was created using Dreamweaver MX in 2004 by someone who is no longer with our company. I am attempting to revise the site. I have loaded DW CS4 and am operating on Windows XP. I have created new pages using a template from MX version. The pages show up in my design view and in the local file list. They appear on the remote file list but the size says 0 KB (they say 10 KB on the local list). When I sync them, it says it works. When I "put" them for the upload, they will not. Is there a problem with using the template from the older version? Note: changes I made to existing pages (also created by this same template) upload fine and appear on the website.

When it asked if you want to put dependent files, it is asking if you want to upload any linked/imported css files,
any graphic files that might be used on the page, etc.
I you insert an image into a page, you will have to upload that to the webserver (ftp). If you select yes to put dependent files, then that is done for you by DW, otherwise, you will have to do it manually (select the file in the "files" menu and "put".
If your pages are on the web server, then it sounds like DW is doing what it is supposed to.

Missing title from earlier version

Hello Apple, iMovie community,
I am strageling to find a very useful 'title' animation that was once used in iMovie software.In the new one and in Final Cut I could not find it anymore.
If I import an old iMovie project which has this 'title' and would like to edit it, iMovie crashes.
Here is a link to a clip containing the above 'title':
https://www.dropbox.com/s/0vjmvik4yju4xr7/title_example.mov
Could you help finding a way to use this 'title' animation again?
Any help appreciated.
Regards,
Kris

Michael,
The one problem with sending files from my, or anyone's, copy of PrE is that all of that material is © by Adobe Systems. They are not mine, per se, to send.
When I am sent such files, usually Menu Sets in PSD, from versions of PrE, or Encore that I do not own, to test for the Forum, I Delete those, as soon as my testing is complete, as I do not have the rights to use those files - only if I had the version of the Adobe program, from which they came.
I do not recall if the Additional Functional Content is available as a second install from the physical media discs in PrE 8 (never had that version), or whether it will install if another, later version of PrE is installed on a system, but if you have either the physical, or the second of the two download files, you might try to install that Additional Functional Content. One consideration is whether this Generic1 Title is in the limited Functional Content, that is installed WITH PrE, or is in the CAB (or other file type), in the Additional Functional Content.
Knowing that it IS in PrE 4.0 does not answer the above question. Heck, until ATR did his research, I never thought that it might be in my older version, but with the PNG (necessary to display the PRTL file in the Library Display) elsewhere. Thanks to ATR for that work, and info. Not sure if that points to a mistake on Adobe's part, of if it is "hidden" for some other reason? We will probably never know.
Why it was removed from later versions is just the way it happens. Adobe will add Additional Functional Content, from time to time, and will remove some, that they deem to no longer be useful. Though smallish files, they DO take up HDD space, and as most Additional Functional Content is now on Adobe hosted servers, I feel that someone decided that that particular Title was no longer popular enough to include.
Good luck,
Hunt

Adobe Presenter 9 and PowerPoint 2013 - Missing Import Audio from PowerPoint button

I am only able to intermitantly use the Import button in Adobe Presenter 9 to Import Audio from PowerPoint. Why would I be able to do it on some presentations but not all? I thought it was an audio conversion issue but even when I convert the audio (when prompted by PowerPoint) it doesn't always allow me to import it.

I have found a solution if the original PowerPoint was a ppt file, follow these steps:
File > Save As a pptx file
Close PowerPoint (this helps with not corrupting the file)
Re-open the pptx file
File > Convert
Save with a new file name (this helps with not corrupting the file)
You should now have the Import from Presentation button if you go to the Presenter tab and click the Import button
I have not found a solution for pptx files yet.

InDesign CS6 can't read EPS files from earlier version of InDesign

I have a series of six violin method books (Kaleidoscopes for Violin) that I created in InDesign CS2.
Having now upgraded to InDesign CS6, all of the EPS files used in these books -- hundreds and hundreds of files -- are unreadable by the program. I receive the error message, "Error encountered while reading TIFF image. Image may be damaged or incompatible. Resave the image with different settings and try again."
Another user, ratgui, reported this problem on February 2, 2013 (two months ago) and has received no response. This user's files are also music files, imported from InDesign CS4 (more recent than mine).
Needless to say, there is nothing wrong with my EPS files, given that every single one of them was read correctly (and is still read correctly) by the older, supposedly less-advanced version of InDesign! The only work-around currently is to save each image in PNG format (luckily Sibelius exports to PNG). For 600-800 files, this represents three or four full days of unnecessary work, and will double the number of images on my hard drive.
The EPS issue is a remarkably serious flaw in a software package that costs many hundreds of dollars, especially given that I posted the same problem in response to the release of InDesign CS5. A response (and, I daresay, a software update that fixes the problem) would be greatly appreciated.
As a side note to the developers -- it is super, duper cumbersome that this error arises in a separate pop-up box for EVERY affected image. These pop-up boxes must be dismissed one at a time. Worse yet, once you have dismissed the error message for a given image, the message appears AGAIN if you return to the same page!! This unnecessary hassle makes it impossible to even work with the underlying document. Placing the error message in the links palette would save a great deal of headache. It is fairly obvious that the images aren't being read properly ... they all appears as gray boxes.
Thanks!!

Office 2013 cannot open documents from SharePoint 2007 with IE 11.

Hei
One of my client cannot open word documents (office 2013) from SharePoint 2007 with IE11.
Are there any compatibility issues among Office 2013/SharePoint 2007/Internet Explorer 11?
Thanks in advance.

Hi
Did you receive any error message when you try to open the documents?
