Slow powerpoint on MacBook pro

I have a new 2 GHz 2 MB macbook pro with all updates (Office and Mac). I usually use keynote, but have to use PPT for a special talk. It is painfully slow. Typing has about a half second delay between keystrokes and scrolling to the next slide takes about 5 seconds. Help! I have to give a big presentation on Monday!
Thanks,
quigley

Microsoft PowerPoint is a PPC application, and thus is running in Rosetta - so it's typically going to be a little sluggish - certainly vis-a-vis any like-minded native applications you use. But I just gave PowerPoint a test-drive on my machine, and it's humming along quite nicely.
My best advice is to save your work and reboot. Work in PowerPoint on a stand-alone basis, and make sure you don't have any CPU sucking PPC apps that launch at start-up and run in the background or otherwise use a host of non-native applications while doing your presentation.

Illustrator CS4 is extremely slow on my MacBook Pro

Illustrator CS4 (14.0.0) is running extremely slow on my MacBook Pro. After selecting an object nothing happens for 3 seconds, than the color wheel rotates for 3 seconds, then I can continue working. This is repeated for any new action, like select, rotate, copy, etc. The ActivityMonitor shows 100,2 % CPU usage during these seconds, all other processes are between 0 and 1,5%. All other CS4 programs are running fine.
I have no other application running at the same time, I chose "performance" over battery lifetime in the system preferences, deleted all the "Adobe Illustrator CS4 Settings" in the preferences folder for a fresh start, used the Adobe CleanSwipe tool, all installed printers are on and connected, HD has lots of free space, I work only from the local HD, have only 60 fonts installed - but no improvement. Even if I have a new document with only one object in it, this goes very slow.
Then I followed one of the recommendations in this community, installed a new user account, started Illustrator from there - and the problem was completely gone, reaction time and speed as it should be!!
Something in my initial (admin-)account is causing this problem - does anyone have a clue what it could be?
Any hint would be appreciated very much.
MacBook Pro 15" Oct 2009, 2,66 Ghz, 4GB, GeForce 9400M+9600M GT, HD 500GB (7200rpm), Mac OS X 10.6.3

That are 2 very good leads, but unfortunately I already tested that: I uninstalled all fonts, so there are only system fonts left - no improvement. I also started the admin account without any start elements (pressing "shift" during boot) - no improvement. The processes (all of them) except Illustrator are all at 0%, some can reach 0,7% - only Illustrator itself is at 100,4% for these few seconds. There is no difference between the admin account and the second user account regarding the Activity Monitor.
But the solution must be somewhere in the difeerence between the two accounts - user preferences, application support files, ???

Hi redngreen,
Does this happen with Wi-Fi and ethernet?
Is your network slow with other activities?
There's a section in this article for Wi-Fi network seems slow. Some of it applies to Ethernet as well.

How to get powerpoint on MacBook pro

how do I get powerpoint for MacBook pro? I mostly need to be able to load ppt from other sources.

Are you just wanting to be able to view PowerPoint presentations? They should open in Keynote for you if you have iWork installed.
From the back of my iWork '09 package:
iWork makes it easy to exchange documents with anyone.
Open Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files in iWork
Save your iWork documents as a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file.

How can I speed up slow Maverick on MacBook Pro?

question or problem: How can I speed up slow Maverick on MacBook Pro?
answer or solution: Per Apple Genius in Palo Alto, CA
Maverick consumes almost my entire 4 GB of ram memory shown in Activity Monitor.
Found under Applications-->Utilities-->Activity Monitor
Will purchase two 4 GB banks and install myself using inexpensive tools.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

Why is 10.9 (Mavericks) so dramatically slow on my MacBook Pro 2.8 Core 2 Duo???

After "upgrading" to 10.9 my 2.8GHz Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro is dramatically slower to the point it is not productive for me to work on. My Mac Mini is also impacted. Any ideas / suggestions?

Thanks, MichelPM

Bluetooth remote freezing with PowerPoint on MacBook Pro while idling

I am experiencing problems with bluetooth remote controls (3 different brands) freezing up when used with MS PowerPoint on a MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard (all updated). It is intermittent in nature and appears to be related to idling when giving presentations. It can freeze as quickly as within one minute to not freezing until 30-40 minutes later. This may not be a remote control issue as the arrow keys on the keyboard will not advance or backup the PowerPoint slides as well. However, when using my iMac computer without the remote, I have not observed the freezing (although, I may not have waited long enough since the nature is intermittent and variable in time).
When frozen, the mouse centered on the slide with a touchpad click awakes the computer to work properly (quick, but not ideal solution). However, when two screens are utilized (LCD projector or another monitor) via VGA connecion in "Presenter View," the touchpad click does NOT awake the computer, regardless of where the arrow is placed on screen. During this situation, the "presented slide" can be advanced by clicking the forward and backward arrows below this "subwindow" of "Presenter View," and even clicking on the image itself will advance it forward (but not backward). When this happens, the keyboard arrows do not work in advancing or backing up the slide sequence.
When in this frozen mode with a LCD or 2nd monitor, the only way I have found to get it working again, is to "Exit Show" and pulling down the "Slide Show" tab and selecting "Play from Current Slide." This takes me back to the slide where the computer froze and allows the bluetooth remote to start working again (obviously not an optimal solution, as the software should not disengage). Again, it appears if I keep changing to another slide within a few seconds to a few minutes, the PowerPoint does not freeze up. However, it is intermittent and variable as to the length of time before it freezes up.
NOTE: I have run these same PowerPoints, with the same remote controls, without any problem for hundreds of hours over the past 3 years. I have updated MS Office 2011, from 2008, last fall and have also run these same items without problems for about 40 hours. I have run Mac "Disk Utility" and just installed a MS Office "Update" released yesterday, which has not corrected the issue as well. Is this issue a MicroSoft problem?
Bless whoever who has an answer to this complex situation. Thank you!

I am having the same problem with a minister's MacBook Pro at my church. It started about 2-3 weeks ago. We at first thought it was a remote issue and found out that it is not. He is running a vitually new MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion 10.8.2 OS. He has Microsoft Office 2011. He has only had the computer since December. He runs powerpoint presentations all the time. He never had a problem until about 2 1/2 weeks ago. When he runs powerpoint in Presenter Veiw it would freeze up on him. You can still move the cursor over to the arrows on the presenter view slide windo and phisically click the mouse on the arrows to move forward or backward but none of keys on the keyboard work at all. It won't even let you escape. You have to move the cursor over the "Exit Show" button and click there. We thought that it might be just a presenter veiw issue so we tried running it in "Mirror Mode" and that seemed to work for a while but now we are having the same freezing problems.
We have taken the laptop to the Genius Bar and talked to the guys there and they did not tell us anything that helped us. They found this thread that you all started with our same problem. It looks like all of us had it happen at the same time. I find that very interesting. My minister said that he had not run any updates so we don't think that was the issue.
I have tried uninstalling Office completely and reinstalling it with all the updates and that did not help. I was thinking that I have a copy of Office 2008 here in the office and I was going to uninstall 2011 and install 2008 but one of you said you were having the same issue with 2008. Maybe I can uninstall 2011 and reinstall it without doing any updates and see if that does anything. We are very baffled and can't seem to get an answer about any of this from Mac or Microsoft. All we get is one blaming the other.
Let us know if this is helpfull or if you have any luck.

External monitor slowing down my MacBook pro

I recently hooked up a brand new external Acer G205HV monitor to my 15" MacBook Pro (4gb RAM) using the mini display port to DVI adapter from Apple. I have an GeForce 9400M graphics card with 256mb ram. Whenever I have the monitor plugged in it slows down my computer tremendously. When I do not use the monitor, my laptop is back to being lightening fast.
Expose` and the dashboard lag a ton, and basically the internet craps out. I can barely load websites and streaming video has become virtually impossible. I have tried running with the laptop open and in clam mode. Same result. At first I thought I had a virus, which would be very very rare, but after using the laptop without the monitor I realized that the monitor was slowing me down.
The max resolution that I am running the monitor at is 1600x900 @60Hz. The DVI adapter is supposed to support a much higher resolution than this. Is my graphics card the issue? Any help is appreciated. thanks!

I have the same problem with a spring 2008 MacBook (4,1) with 4 GB RAM running 10.5.8. Using a DVI external monitor, the wireless speed drops by at least half and usually more. This is the case whether using a Samsung 2443 BW at home or a Dell at work. I've tried different DVI cables, changing channels from 11 to 1, no difference.
Took it to the local Apple store where they had only a VGA monitor to test with and, strangely, the wireless was unaffected. It was a small ACER monitor, a 15-inch or so, not wide-screen. Have had no other opportunities to try a VGA monitor, as I don't have a mini-DVI to VGA adapter.
But I wonder if there's something there?

Slow brand new Macbook pro- almost all ram being used up!

I just purchased my first mac a few weeks ago- a 13 inch macbook pro running snow leopard. I have been experiencing surprisingly slow performance- computers older than mine or others of the same model quickly multitask while I frequently sit watching the pinwheel spin. This problem seems especially evident when browsing. When using firefox or safari, when several tabs are open scrolling through pages is slow/delayed and opening new tabs freezes the computer for several seconds.
This occurs with only a couple of other programs open- maybe only itunes and ical for example. Meanwhile older and equivalent computers appear able to run even more programs simultaneously without such slow performance.
Using the Activity Monitor- it appears that 1.9 of my 2 gigs of ram are being used up. This seems unusual to me as not much is running. I still have 70 gigs of hard drive space available and have been keeping up with software updates. CPU is 89% free/idle.
Any suggestions or explanations for a new mac user? This new computer is rivaling my old PC running winodws xp in how slow it can run.
Thanks

The same thing happened to me when I upgraded my older Mac Pro to 10.6. It turned out one process, #112 "coreaudiod," was using almost 100% of the CPU time. Use Apple's "Activity Monitor" in your Utilities folder to find out if you have a process using up the CPU.
In my case, I deleted "com.apple.audio.coreaudiod.plist" from the launchdaemons folder in the system library, restarted the computer, and that solved the problem.

Windows 7 very slow on 2012 MacBook Pro?

When I first got my MacBook Pro in September 2012, I installed Windows 7 on it. I was really impresed how fast and smutch it was, but then after couple of weeks I deleted it. Now I installed it again and it got really slow. I have to wait like 5 seconds just for the Internet Explorer to open. What happened? Does the Windows get slower every time you install and delete it? Is it okay to do that or is it bad for the hard drive? By the way, its the base model MacBook Pro, Intel Core i5, 500GB hard drive, Intel HD Graphics 4000, and 4GB RAM. Thanks for help!

The windows 7 enterprise disk I was using included service pack 1. I think bootcamp didn't like that the disk was sp1. I downloaded the non service pack iso and it installed just fine. I had been using a fully updated os 10.6.7. It works now.

Adobe Media Encoder slow export on Macbook pro

I've got a Macbook Pro(mid 2012, Quadcore, nVidia 620/1GB vRam, and 8 GB of system Ram). Takes roughly 8-10 times the sequence length to render out video to a MPEG2-DVD file. I AM using Lumetri Looks in both cases but the Macbook Pro seems slow. Checked the Activity monitor and using about 2.5 GB of Ram and only using about 5-10% of CPU.
Why isn't the Macbook Pro system not throwing more resources toward the render? (And no, nothing else is eating up the CPU either.)

If you're up for some testing, take a look at this. I'd love to know what your results are.
