Problems with editing Powerpoint for Mac in Office 2011

First time posting,
I seem to have delayed functionality in editing slides.  e.g. inserting shapes/text boxes/table etc, can be viewed, but on next slide I try the same and it is not visible, but may appear 5 minutes later when editing.  Also can not see some detail on preview, but they will then print out.  Incidentally when I send a file I have been working on to a PC, I can then see the various inserts I have made with no issue.
I have Mac OSX version 10.7.5
3.06 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo; 4GB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
and Microsfot powerpoint for Mac 2011, version 14.4.5

As Office is not an Apple product, I strongly recommend asking in the Microsoft Office:Mac forums here:
Office for Mac
Everyone there is a Mac user AND an Office user, something you can't say about Apple's forums. You will get the fastest help there and I think you will find the contributors more than helpful.

  • Problem with Entourage 2008 for Mac

    I don't know if this is the right forum, if not please direct me to where I should go. I have Entourage 2008 for Mac. I continue to have a problem with the font reverting back to Calibri when I am composing an email. I've set up in Preferences the font I want, but it doesn't seem to work. Anyone have any suggestions? Other than give up entirely on Apple and go back to a PC????? The whole Office 2008 program is horrible and whoever designed it at Apple should be fired.

    I don't know if this is the right forum, if not please direct me to where I should go.
    Microsoft's own forums for their Mac software:  http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac

    Ummm...nobody at Apple designed it.  It's a Microsoft product.

  • Sync problems with AME CS4 for Mac

    Hi,
    I've been trying to use Adobe Media Encoder CS4 to convert a 2 min video (MPEG2 Muxed, 29.97) to FLV/F4V, and the audio still does not sync to the video. I've tried in Sor. Spark, On2VP6, and H.264. I can't imagine it's a fps issue because in the Settings I always choose "same as source". Is there something else I should do that I'm not doing thus far?
    For what it's worth: I'm using version 4.2.0.006.
    Thanks in advance!

    Thanks for the reply.  I am using  Photoshop 11.0.1.  I am using the latest version of Snow Leopard.  I have found both Photoshop and Dreamweaver to be pretty buggy for several versions now.  My suspicions were that they were really engineered for Windows and never really fully implemented for the Mac.  Dreamweaver crashes or hangs on me three or four times a day if I us it all day and does various annoying things like refusing to respond to the delete key after I have used it for a while.  I have pretty much stopped using it to some degree for that reason and also because there is other software that does a lot of coding things I do much more directly and simply.  Also Dreamweaver always seems to struggle to quit when I tell it to quit (that is, it takes a long time and gets hung up at places before it quits) and once it does quit, I always get a message saying that it has unexpectedly quit (even when I have told it to quit).
    The problems with Photoshop  (starting with just taking a long time to load)  have escalated to the point I described today, which makes it almost unusable. I just reinstalled Snow Leopard to see if there was anything buggy in the system software.  I will report if problems go away.
    Regarding both the refusal to open image files and the grayed out quit command, made me think something like you, i.e. there was some dialogue box open somewhere.  However, I couldn't find anything and I don't use two monitors.
    So . . . Adobe just seems to be getting more expensive and more buggy.
    Incidentally, why is it still running in Rosetta rather than natively?  Adobe now has a real Intel processor to work with.

  • Print Problems with Elements 9 for Mac

    I cannot print borderless (randlos) on format 10 x 15 (or any other) on my Printer Canon PIXMA MP970. With Elements 8 for Windows there is no problem. I have tried any possible combinations of adjustements and have the lates printer driver installed.

    10 x 15 cm is a standard European paper size but the choice ist not available in the paper size selection. The choices avaiIable seem to be only American. I have to define it as user defined (Benutzerdefiniert). I have contacted Canon but they have no solution for this problem. It seems that PSE 9 for Mac and Canon printer drivers don't like each other. A least the German versions. With PSE 8 for Windows everything works fine. There the standard European paper sizes and borderless printing can be selected with no problem. As mentioned in other topics rotating is although a problem. Lucky enough I have also a Windows system with PSE 8.

  • Problems with Reading Word for Mac attachments

    I have just 'switched' my wife from a PC to a Mac Mini. She is using Mail to send out attachments and some of the recipients are unable to read them. They are getting the message "can't start converter mswrd632". Using a similar set up with my Mac Pro I am not getting the same issues!
    Googling the message I understand that this relates to a Microsoft security upgrade MS09-73 but I am not able to understand why her machine has the problem and not mine!! Both appear to be sending .doc suffixed attachments.
    As the Mac champion in the household this is now 'my fault' and any guidance would be welcomed.

    Are you sure that your wife is actually sending out Word documents? The error is due to a document having a ".doc" suffix but is really a text file.

  • Problem with Edit option for a role created in GRC 10.0

    Hello Experts,
    I created a role in GRC 10.0 , I see my newly created role in the list of roles . If I want to Edit the role I select the row and click " OPEN" and edit the role.
    But when I click the role directly and enter the role , the "EDIT"  button is disabled and even maintain authorization button is disabled.
    Did SAP defined in such  a way that we should selct the role and click OPEN then only we can Edit or is this a Bug??
    Please let me know if any one of you faced the same problem.

  • Problem with Adware - Firefox for MAC

    I keep getting adware pop ups from cpxinteractive adware. Anyone figure out how to remove these?
    I'm running Firefox on my Intel based MAC. Firefox version 5.0. MAC OS X 10.5.1.
    Is Safari better at blocking adware and spyware programs?
    Help!?
    Thanks, Jim

    Hi Jimmy
    Is Safari better at blocking adware and spyware programs?
    Not necessarily. I call it about even.
    A good Safari add-on for effectively blocking sites/ads is PithHelmet.
    For issues affecting Firefox (latest version is Beta 3), please post here.

  • Problem with Yahoo Messenger for MAC

    my yahoo messenger was working perfectly till today. it refuses to automatically scroll down to the latest or newest message. i have to manually scroll down each time i wanna read a new message which is extremely inconvenient & annoying. how to i go about resolving this problem?
    i tried uninstalling yahoo messenger by dragging the yahoo messenger icon into the trash then download & reinstall yahoo messenger from scratch but problem still persists.
    i'm very new to mac, only got my macbook 4 days ago. any help will certainly be appreciated.
    thank you.

    Perhaps emptying the Caches would help, actually I'd do more, and my preferred method is to use Applejack...
    http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
    After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, then when the prompt shows, type in...
    applejack AUTO
    Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
    At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.

  • How can I fix problems with Bridge CS2 for Mac.

    How can I upgrade Bridge CS2 version 1.0.0.545 to Bridge CS2 version 1.0.3. The Installer says that I have a newer version installed. I am running a special version Photoshop CS2. When I launch Bridge CS2 v.1.0.0.545, I get a window saying that "Sorry, a serious error has been detected."  This software stays open after clicking the OK button. Please help!

    Spent a long time on phone with Apple tech support on this.  Here's what users all need to know:  it's likely the car manufacturer who needs to upgrade the vehicle software.  Pairing problems can happen whenever a phone is upgraded.  Now to find a dealer that's open after work!

  • Problems with Photoshop cs4 for the Mac

    I am having all kinds of problems with Photoshop CS4 for the Mac.  When I boot the software it seems to work for a while then, I am unable to open upf a file in Photoshop.  I drag a photoshop file over the application icon, the whole screen flickers and nothing happens.  I am unable to quit Photoshop as the quit choice is grayed out and command-q will not make it quit. I have to force quit.  I can repeat this pattern over and over.  What is happening?  How do I solve this problem?

  • How do I uninstall Adobe Digital Editions 3 (for Mac)???

    Dear kind, knowledgable Adobe Staff member-
    As a user of SEVERAL Adobe products, I am really NOT loving the fact that there is NO CLEAR answer that I can find here (OR even in doing a Google search) for how to completely REMOVE/UNINSTALL Adobe Digital Editions 3 (for Mac)...and there are a couple/few UNanswered Adobe Communities posts (such as this one) asking this SAME question!
    If you're going to create an installer for the MacOS platform (which does NOT have the built-in Winblows uninstall "feature"), then PLEASE DO either include a uninstaller tool (either installed during the install process, built into the installer as an option, OR have clear, official, and easily accessible step-by-step instructions on how to do this!
    You've lost ANY shot of my returning to ADE software by not having these features...please do help me re-instill some "faith" in your company's responsiveness to the current LACK of support that I am experiencing in attempting to remove this unwanted software from my computer!
    Cordially,
    Albe Sure

    I DO very much appreciate the swift effort at attempting to help...but that is NOT a working resolution for me.
    1)  As I was very clear on in my OP and title, I am seeking assistance with uninstalling Adobe Digital Editions 3 (for Mac)...
    2)  BECAUSE Adobe is distributing this software as an "installer", I am not even going to begin to trust simply deleting the Adobe Digital Editions 3 app from my applications folder...no way!  I want to thoroughly remove ALL TRACES of this application (EVERYTHING that was installed by the installer, or later by the application itself, onto my computer.  Simply deleting the app fro my my applications folder will NOT be sufficient to achieve this goal.
    3)  As the name would suggest (and the step-by-step instructions would collaborate, the CC Cleaner Tool is only for Creative Cloud installation and removal problems (and to the very best of my knowledge, Adobe Digital Editions is certainly NOT a CC program.)
    "A" for effort, but not so much on providing a relevant/working Adobe Digital Editions 3 (for Mac OS) uninstall/removal suggestion(s)...STILL looking for a working solution!

  • Why are there so many problems with the early 2008 Mac Pro ???

    Hi everybody out there using Mac Pro's early 2008,
    I found out there is a lot of problems with the early 2008 Mac Pro.
    My early 2008 Mac Pro has been repaired ones under warranty and now it stopped working again ! Also see under: Mac Pro early 2008 no chime and does not start up. Why is this ????
    It worked well for about 2 years and then it just fails and i had this failing issue twice already !!! Is this just a BAD Apple product or how do you think I need to approach this. Let’s face it, these machine don’t come cheap and you at least expect them to work without problems for 4-5 years. What is happening here ???

    go to a black screen after 15 minutes or a couple hours
    That is probably an indication that you need to find a new graphics card.
    RE: Mac Pro Replacement Graphics cards
    1) Apple brand cards,
    2) "sold in the Apple store" cards, and
    3) "Mac Edition" cards ...
    ... show all the screens, including Boot up screens, Safe Mode, Installer, Recovery, debug screens, and Alt/Option boot screens. At this writing, these choices include:
    1) Apple brand cards:
    • Apple-firmware 5770, about US$250** works near full speed in every model Mac Pro, Drivers in 10.6.5
    • Apple-firmware 5870, about US$450
    2) "sold in the Apple store" cards
    • NVIDIA Quadro 4000, about US$1200
    • NVIDIA Quadro 5000, about US$2500
    3) "Mac Edition" cards -- REQUIRE 10.8.3 or later:
    • SAPPHIRE HD 7950 3GB GDDR5 MAC Edition, about US$480** Vendor recommends Mac Pro 4,1
    • EVGA GTX 680 Mac Edition, about US$600
    The cards above require no more than the provided two 6-pin aux power connectors provided in the Mac Pro through 2012 model. Aux cables may not be provided for third-party cards, but are readily available.
    If you are Meet ALL of these:
    • running 10.8.3 or later AND
    • don't care about "no boot screens" etc AND
    • can re-wire or otherwise "work out" the power cabling, THEN:
    You can use many more cards, even most "PC-only cards"

  • 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.
