Using Powerpoint file on I Touch

I have a powerpoint file which would help people who are unable to communicate verbally to talk. It has over 1000 aiff sounds which are spoken by clicking on the appropriate phrase on a series of 80 powerpoint screens. The total file is about 1 gig in size.
Can this be downloaded to an I Touch?
If you can help on this issue, I would be very grateful.

Best way of using PowerPoint files on iPad?

Hi all,
One of my primary reasons for investing in an iPad was so I could use it for delivering presentations. I watched the videos etc and thought wow, this is the tool for me, unfortunately like many others out there I've been bitterly disappointed. I'm sure things will improve as time goes on and maybe at some point we won't just have a pretty useless black lump in our hands whilst using the VGA connectors etc ......
Back to the original question. I've imported loads of ppt and pptx files via iTunes to Keynote on my iPad and the resulting slides when viewed in keynote aren't great and the builds are all over the place!! I've tried recreating the builds within the Keynote app but it doesn't seem to be able to do it? Any suggestions?
Would I be better purchasing keynote for my Macbook, importing the ppt files to that, get the slide working again and then send them to the iPad?.

1. When presenting the presentation can you still see the slides on your iPad or does the screen go black like it does in Keynote?
The screen goes black - mostly. You get arrows to go to the next slide and back and there's an option to view miniature versions of the slides but those go away again as soon as you tap on one of them or on the arrows. Lots of wasted space, IMHO.

How do I port my Windows Word, Excel, and Powerpoint files to the MAC? What software is needed on the MAC to use them? Thanks.

You can certainly use iWork, though I hesitate to recommend it to a seasoned Windows user simply because it would add another level of the unfamiliar with which you would have to gain familiarity. The iWork applications are certainly very competent and in most respects both easy to use and surprisingly powerful. They are not 100% compatible however, though that typically manifests itself in document formatting issues rather than anything more significant.
I have never attempted to import emails from a Windows system into MacOS - other than in Outlook connected to an Exchange server, thus not really an issue at all. I doubt that the Mail app in MacOS can import directly, but of course you could always set the account(s) up on the Mac and then forward emails you want to keep from the PC. Not elegant, but it works. Virtually any Windows document or file, whichever application created it, can be opened or converted for use on a Mac, and using both systems on my desk each day I rarely see any issues switching stuff from one machine to the other. You may stumble over one or two issues, but likely not significant.
In switching platforms there will be some inevitable issues, not so much with being able to import your stuff because there's usually a workaround or a utility that can help, but just with getting familiar with the platform and the differences between Windows and MacOS that can obscure their similarities. From time to time the support community here hears from a user who has found the migration very problematic and regrets it, but for the most part the phrase 'I should have done this years ago...' is rather more prevalent!

What video files does iPod Touch use?

Using Authorware to Launch Powerpoint Files

Ok, I am a complete newbie when it comes to Powerpoint.
What I'm trying to do is create a menu in Authorware, that
will be published
as a .exe file. It will have several buttons that will act as
a launcher for
several Powerpoint Slideshows to be used in a classroom
instructional
course.
What is the best way to launch Powerpoint files from
Authorware?
Is there a way to export/publish/package a .ppt file so that
it can be a
standalone .exe file so that I don't have to open Powerpoint
to display the
.ppt file?

You can rename any .ppt to .pps and it will open in
Powerpoint in
'slideshow' mode. So if every machine will have Powerpoint
installed, a
simple JumpOut to a .pps should work fine.
Otherwise, I'm pretty sure Pack and Go creates an .exe with
the PPT
viewer bundled, which then extracts and runs when launched.
Been a long
time since I've played with Pack and Go, however, so that
could be bad
info ;-)

HT201301 How do I copy FOLDERS to or from my iPad/iPhone/iPod touch using iTunes File Sharing?

How do I copy FOLDERS to or from my iPad/iPhone/iPod touch using iTunes File Sharing?
I know how to copy files to or from using iTunes file sharing but it doesnt seem to allow copying of folders

From your PC or Mac, you can copy a folder (and it's contents) into the DropBox folder. It will then sync ans will be available in your DropBox app on the iPad.
GoodReader includes built in connectivity to DropBox, will pick up the contents and then allow you to easily copy files to other folders within it, as well as open files in other apps on your iPad.

I have a MacBook Pro (purchased in 2011) with OS X Lion 10.7.4. I'm using Microsoft Office 2011 and cannot open older PowerPoint Files (non .pptx). It will always open the same .pptx file and then the machine hangs up and just keeps spinning.

Thank you - that all makes sense. It is, indeed, exactly what I did when I upgraded.
I'm also writing this on the machine that crashed a few minutes ago (I posted the crash in another thread). I got back with a 'safe boot' - as I have done a few times before.
I've also de-installed little snitch (and then done a safe-boot & then re-boot ) since that seemed involved. I de-installed Adobe flash, since that seemed to be a problem - I then re-installed the later, apparently fixed, flash. The most recent crashes don't seeme to have a problem with flash any more.
I've posted the various ( generally different ) crashes. I also posted a summary of the similar lines that turn up in most of the crashes.
Unfortuantely, I'm actually trying to use the machine to meet some urgent deadlines and all this is not making it at all easy.
I had had great hopes for 10.7.2 - I thought that the crashes must be pretty common, so would have a common aetiology. There do seem to have been some fundamental changes to the file sytem and to the video interface (that seems to cause problems to brand new iMacs as well as to my 2009 iMac).

Can't open powerpoint files in keynote since Mountain Lion upgrade

Not having much luck and not sure which forum to post in as this could be a Mountain Lion issue, an iWork issue, but is also an iWork and/or IOS6 issue!
Until last week I had Lion on iMac and IOS5 on iPad. I was able to log on to my work network server (school network, I am a teacher) and open powerpoint, word or excel files in keynote, pages or numbers on my iPad. I then upgraded to IOS6 and now none of the files will open up on my iPad. I get the open in screen when I choose a file to open, then nothing happens.
In the meantime, I upgraded my iMac from Lion to Mountain Lion. Since I was having problems accessing my work files and viewing them on my iPad, I decided to buy Keynote on my iMac in the hope that I could get on with some work on iMac rather than iPad. I logged on to my school server and tried to open a powerpoint file and for some reason it downloads it as a pptx.exe and if I try to open it I get an error message saying "You can't open the application xxx.pptx.exe because Microsoft Windows applications are not supported on OSX". It shouldn't be a .exe file it should just be a powerpoint file! When I open Keynote and look for available files on my iMac, the file I just downloaded is greyed out.
Hmmmmm so I have an iMac, an iPad, two versions of the Keynote app (plus numbers and pages on the ipad) and can't open any of my files from my school network. That seems a lot of money in one pot Apple and something has changed from Lion to Mountain Lion, and from IOS5 to IOS6 which is preventing me from doing my work. IOS5 allowed me to open any ppt, xls, doc, pptx, xlsx, docx file from my school network so why since upgrading to IOS6 can I suddenly not open them??
Now having forked out for Keynote on my iMac, I have the same problem.
I am able to open attachments in emails and I am able to log on to the school VLE and access and open files. So it is just something to do with opening from the normal file system that I can't do.
I posted in the iPad and iWork forum and had no replies. However, Apple iWork team have contacted me after reading my post re the iPad issue of opening files from my network. I've provided info to them and am waiting for a response, but in the meantime I have now discovered there is also an issue on my iMac. Hopefully they will read this too or someone else will perhaps know what is going on.
It is a worry that I can't do any work using my Apple products seeing as I have bought them! I have had to go back to bringing my windows laptop home everyday which I hope is a short term solution. I have loved the fact that I could access everything on my school network from my iPad in the past and not have to drag a laptop around. I am also worried that this means pupils can't access the files too if they are using Macs, iphones, ipads etc and have upgraded to Mountain Lion or IOS6.
Hoping someone can help
Thanks in advance

Thanks for the response but I think you've misunderstood the problem. I can not open any type of PowerPoint file off my server in keynote. This includes .ppt and .pptx files. (Also includes .doc, .docx, .xls, .xlsx in pages and numbers).
Even if what you said worked it would take forever to go through every file and save them all as ppt 2007. Plus of course, I don't know what files I will need when. There are hundreds of resources I need to access when I'm at home. I need the flexibility to view the files when i need to and on the go. Normally I can download them off my school network on to my iPad in keynote and edit them then I email them back to myself ready to use the next day or to save back to my network. Currently I can not download any Microsoft office file. So I am now forced to have to lug my laptop home everyday, rendering my iPad and iMac useless. I can't pre-empt what I'll need and save it as .ppt as that is completely inflexible and that won't open anyways as this is not an issue with the version of PowerPoint file. This is an issue with how all Microsoft files are downloading from my school network to my iPad and iMac. I want Apple to allow this to work like it used to before the upgrades in operating systems. I wish I hadn't upgraded as it worked perfectly. :(

I'm trying to invoke EXCEL or POWERPOINT file into the browser IE 6.0. The

I'm running TOMCAT locally on my PC (running Windows NT).
I'm trying to invoke EXCEL or POWERPOINT file into the browser IE 6.0.
The output is coming out all scrambled (almost like ASCII code or something),
where it seems like the applications are not firing up.
However, an MSWord file shows up fine. So I go to the WEB.XML file in the TOMCAT\CONF
folder and notice that a MIME type has been set up for MSWord and not the other two.
I set one up for EXCEL and POWERPOINT but the XLS or PPT files still don't work.
So, just for kicks, I comment out the MSWord MIME definition but the MSWord file still worked!!!
I can't figure out what's going on here.
I'm stopping and starting the TOMCAT service each time I make changes to the WEB.XML file,
but it seems like none of the changes are taking affect.
I install all the viewers for MS-Word, ppt, and excell.
But in Netscape it works fine.

How to view Powerpoint files without Office

Hi,
I just need to view a .ppt file on my Macbook (os x 10.5.2), and I tried to use the Powerpoint Viewer 98 for Mac from microsoft, but it is a classic application that is not supported on leopard. I also tried openoffice.org, but it converts the file poorly and leaves a lot of things out. Is there any other way to simply view a powerpoint on a mac without buying office or iwork?
Thanks

Looks like you have done your research and know what to look for. You are right, I couldn't find anything that would run under Leopard and view Powerpoint files unaltered.
If possible then have the sender of the file convert to it to a .pdf (Powerpoint 2007 can do this under windows).

[b]The challenge is on: Creating PowerPoint Files with Java[/b]

Hi, guys and geeks!!
I'm new here and generally not as skilled and talented as you guys -
that's why I am passing this challenge on to you:
I want to create a PowerPoint presentation using Java. (My Data will be in XML and I'll have to generate slides with Flow-Charts from that data)
1.
I know of only one commercial Library that seems to do this very comfortably. But it costs about $5000... (http://tonicsystems.com/) - have you used it?
2.
I know that I could use Apache's POI (http://jakarta.apache.org/poi/), as it gives me access to the MsOLE 2 compound doc. format, but their work is most developed only for Excel and Word. so I'm not sure what kind of obstracles I'd be facing....
3.
And then there is JAWIN (http://jawinproject.sourceforge.net/) which would enable me to call COM-Components... How would I do that?
Any other /better ideas?
So, please let me know your thoughts and if you know what I could do!
Also, please let me know how I should go about with it.....
I'm looking forward to seeing your "muscles" (i.e. knowledge) play...!
Cheers,
Anna ;o)

I can't download powerpoint files from emails on my ipad

I can see the powerpoint file in the email, but it won't download. Same for ppt and ppx files. I've downloaded keynote, but no change. It's a new thing as I have downloaded ppt files in the past. Size doesn't appear to be an issue as I can't open a 'single slide' attachment either. When you tap on the file, it thinks about it for a while and then nothing happens. Can anyone help? I tried the Apple store, but they can't. Am at a loss.

How are you trying to access the powerpoint? I know you said this worked in the past but just trying to get some additional info here.
Are you using the native email app on the iPad or logging in to a web-based email program? If using the native app, can you login to a web-based email and try opening the powerpoint in that manner to see if it works?
If so, it's an issue with the email program and would help narrow down the issue.

Printing (flattening) a PDF'd powerpoint file

Hello.
I work in a Uni print room and get bombarded with lots of printing problems so i thought i would share this one and see if it is common or if there's any advice that could help.
I was sent a powerpoint file that has been converted to a PDF (i don't know what settings converted it i'm afraid) and people have been struggling to print it. It is less than 1mb in size and is a fairly simple powerpoint file made up of about 20 slides with text and master slide graphic that appears to be nothing out of the ordinary.
When it is sent to print it takes ages to flatten and get to the printer. I flattened the file using acrobat pro 9 and the file, once it eventually finished had grown from less than 1mb to over 350mb!
Anyway, i was hoping someone could shed some light on why this is happening to something as basic as a converted powerpoint file. Any advice will be greatfully recieved. I've read that it could be something to do with transparencies flattening, if that's helpful.
many thanks in advance.
Chris

Thanks for replying Bill,
I don't have the original Powerpoint file i'm afraid. The reason this is a concern is that the Uni has a new online area where lecturers can put work up for students to get to. It appears everything must be PDF on there.
Well, i had a bit of a play and found i was able to flatten the file to a 3mb file by putting it on "low resolution" and dropping the "raster/vector" setting to "0".
This isn't ideal but atleast it means we can print the file.
Attached is the first page of the original PDF. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=FHII77RR (hope this link is ok to use)
I believe that the problem is coming from the grey slide graphic on the left. It actually appears to go all the way across the page, as when flattening i can see the page loading and see this grey pattern covers all the page. Hope that makes sense.
Thanks again
Chris

How to add files to iPod Touch?

The manual states this is the procedure to add files to an iPod Touch:
Transfer a file from iPod touch to your computer:
1 Connect iPod touch to your computer.
2 In iTunes, select iPod touch in the Devices list, then click Apps at the top of the screen.
3 In the File Sharing section, select an app from the list on the left.
4 On the right, select the file you want to transfer, then click “Save to” and choose a destination on your computer.
Problem is, there is NO file sharing section at all in app section of iTunes.
I would like to put the PDF file of the iPod Touch manual on the device but see now way how to do so.
Thanks for any help.

That section is talking about how to move files from the iPod to iTunes and not the other way around. First you need to import this PDF into your iTunes library.
The next thing you'll want to do if you haven't already, is download the iBooks app to your iPod. From there, configure your iPod to sync the PDF from the iPod's Books tab in iTunes.
See these two articles for more information on using and downloading the iBooks app as well as how to sync Books/PDFs to your iPod.
