I got a mac remote so I could show powerpoint presentations by remote, but although I can run all the Mac applications remotely, I can't run powerpoint. I have a MacbookPro running OSX10.6.2. I tried iREd lite without success.
View 1 RepliesI have been given a ~400 slide Powerpoint Presentation, and need to extract all the text from it.
However, when trying to open it in Powerpoint 2004, it just quits everytime it attempts to open the 90Mb file.
Keynote has had more success, but I really do not want to be copying and pasting every slide into a document.
I've used PowerPoint extensively for at least 10 years. I want to view my notes on my MacBook Pro desktop, while hiding them from the audience. I seem to recall seeing this option somewhere, but can't find it. Is anyone familiar with this?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI recently purchased a refurbished AirPort Extreme Card and AirPort antenna for my late 2004 Power Mac G5. My Mac is running on OS X Version 10.4.11. I properly installed them, since the computer notes the AirPort Extreme card in the "About Mac" menu. There are a couple of wireless networks near my home and the computer doesn't detect any of them. I've checked out previous forum discussions around this issue, tried some suggested troubleshooting to no avail. Can I presume the AirPort Extreme card is defective? It detects absolutely no signal from the other networks around here. Could the WEP password length of our router have anything to do with it? Do I need to download a driver to activate the AirPort Extreme Card? Could upgrading to a different operating system make it work?
View 8 Replies View RelatedSo I've got three Logitech mouses:
MX 510
MX 518
MX 1100 (wireless)
I used to own the Logitech S530 keyboard/mouse combo as well. What I've noticed is this (and it drives me insane). Both my 510 and 518 move perfectly, as in, its the same consistent movement, whether its fast motion or slow with the mouse. The MX 1100 has the same 'issue' as the S530; the control is god damn weird. Moving across the screen quickly feels like there's some kind of 'smoothing' (kind of like in some games where it would enable smooth mouse), and I just can't get used to pressing on onscreen buttons and such that require a bit more precision, because slowing down mouse movement gives me completely different control.
For example, if in photoshop and using the lasso tool to precisely cutout an object, it completely screws me up, because a slight jerk will send the mouse flying, there's no 'in between' it seems, and there's definitely no consistency. Both the 510 and 518 (gaming mouse!) have the same speed no matter what the situation. Is there any way to have any of the Logitech Wireless mouses behave the same as my other two? Or is this a technology issue with the internals? I keep going back to my wired mouses.
I have an iMac at home. I have two airport express devices with hifi systems connected. I use iTunes to play music, podcasts,radio, .. on the different hifi systems dependent on where I am in the appartment.When using the remote control on the iMac it seems to me that it isn't possible to select the wireless devices for sound output.

So I make a presentation on Mac Office powerpoint, everything is fine. I open it up at university on the PC, all is fine. I maybe change some text on a slide and save it again. Open the same file again on my Mac, and it won't open some silly error comes up saying trouble accessing file from mac HD.
Then luckily I have keynote, so I just open it in that and use that.
Point is why does this happen?? Whilst keynote is better, sometimes I have to edit things on a PC at work or uni and then it becomes a giant mess on my mac.
Is there a quick fix, or will I have to throw Mac Office into my growing pile of Microsoft related garbage.
I've just installed new Mac Leopard to my G5 (old version was Tiger), but the Microsoft Office Mac 2004 did not work: I could not print out any M.O. documents? I did google and found that MO Mac 2004 work with Leopard, but somehow not on mine!!

Reformatted HD and reinstalled Leopard. Desktop loaded OK. Bought external HD , transferred backed up data into ExHD and proceeded to transfer necessary files back onto iMac internal HD. Plenty of HD space remaining.
Computer worked fine for one or two days. Stopped working after son interrupted software update. Have grey screen, spining gear again.

I just got my brother's 2004 G5 installed, which runs on OS 10.3. Is it technically possible to download OS 10.4 (guess still Tiger) from the Apple site? Do I need a regular installation CD-rom or is it not possible at all?
As you can hear from my question I'm a total rookie if it comes to Apple.
I have a MaxMini with OS X 10.5.7

All was fine until yesterday. If I click on a document file or on the word icon the splash sheet is isplayed and all stops there. When I force a quit it shows "Word (not responding)" Excel and PowerPoint are fine.
I have a network of about 40-50 Macs running Tiger or Leopard and they are all using Entourage 2004 configured for Exchange.
This means that their mailbox email is backed up on the Exchange Server.
However, in Entourage users can archive email out of their mailbox into an area within Entourage called 'Folders On My Computer'. Once the emails go in there its removed from their mailbox. My concern is that this area of Entourage is on the local hard drive and we don't backup local hard drives. We tell all users that their documents must be on the network fileserver to get backed up nightly.
Does anybody else here look after networked Macs running Entourage with Exchange and have a backup plan for the local Entourage database ?

I am trying to run a slideshow with a remote controller on the data projector. I am using Powerpoint for Mac X. I am running Mac OS X. I want to go to a previous slide during the show, and using the remote I hit the "right click" button, which works when the slideshow is driven by an XP machine. When I click the "right click" button on the remote during a slide show, I get a menu on the slideshow that lists the following options: help, next, previous, go, etc. I want the slideshow to immediately go to the previous slide and I don't know how/where to set it to do so.
View 2 Replies View RelatedBeen using Entourage 2004 since, well, 2004 or so, but have had thoughts about moving over to Apple's Mail application (especially since a Mac repair guy told me that Microsoft is thinking about not supporting it anymore past the next version of Office).
Just wanted to pick people's brains about the pros and cons of each, and which application you prefer. I'm leaning towards Entourage because of the simple functions it has that Mail doesn't seem to (e.g.: next message/previous message arrows within a mail message window, ability to file messages into folders from within a mail message without dragging), but Entourage seems to have a mind of its own when it comes to randomly declaring incoming mail as junk and I've missed a few important e-mails because of that (even though some addresses are in the address book or from safe domains).
I am about to purchase my first mac, having been a PC person all my life. Currently I use Outlook 2003 extensively. There are an awful lot of emails, callendar entries etc which I must hold onto and be able to access. This is vital. In migrating to Mac (a move well over due) I am anxious that I can transfere my Outlook files (emails/contacts/callendar etc) into Entourage. I would have though this would be possible using PST files - however some internet research has led me to beleive this might not be the case.
I have searched for this item in the forums here on cnet and someone came up with the following like. [URL] which I cannot seem to get to bring up anything useful. Do I need to be using my Mac to be able to view this page (I find this unlikley). Does anyone know how I can efforlessly transfere from Outlook to Entourage?
