I have asked the microsoft forum too about this PPT crashing, let's hope they actually have an answer (I am assuming they might just come up saying that, this is your Mac issue not ours). I am just worried that even today, a basic crash/freeze can have the exact same impact to an end user as it used to have back in the 90s. No cats(i don't have cats), no power surge, no restart nothing, just a plain and simple freeze for a couple of minutes and a couple of my softwares stopped responding including Sublime and Powerpoint. I understand that saving would have helped me in the first place but then this yet again can happen to anyone. Now to be be real I am a 23 years old computer science grad and have been using computers since 15=16 years (Basically, I understand computers and computing pretty much). My last night response was more of an emotional one, as I had just lost all of my work at 3am in the morning. Also I keep everything synced and my office is connected online, so when it stopped responding all of a sudden I was expecting at least the auto recovery to take care of it (I have set it to 3-4 minutes instead of the usual 10 mins periodic auto save ). But what annoys me is that I was not expecting a basic crash issue of 90s to happen on a 2015 Mac Pro. Those are the ways I know to stop PowerPoint crashing on Mac.Thank you for your response. Either move these files or rename them with. They will all be in the same folder as above. I have found that single file works most often but if it doesn’t fix it, rename these other files too and see if it works. This website seems to think other files should also be moved. If you don’t, just find the files and go from there.

Converted from Windows to Mac, the Microsoft suite is mostly stable and works well enough but does have a tendency to crash or freeze. You may not have a Microsoft folder in Preferences. Home Web Microsoft Office PowerPoint Keeps Crashing on my Mac What To Do Microsoft PowerPoint may be the most popular slideshow creator around but that doesn’t mean it’s perfect.
If you still see crashing, remove the ‘.old’ part and return it to its original state. If PowerPoint is now stable, you can leave the file where it is or delete it.

Even if the App Store doesn’t mention an update being available for PowerPoint, you can check manually. Updates are the bane of the app generation but we are where we are. It may just be too large for your Mac to cope with. You should always have an eye on file size unless you know what computer will be running the presentation when it’s time.Ĭheck the sizes of the media you’re using within the presentation and of the presentation itself. In reality, the larger the file sizes within the presentation, the harder your Mac has to work to render it. You can use huge images, long videos and whatever media you like in a presentation. In theory, there is no maximum file size for PowerPoint. This will show you everything that’s running on your Mac and what resources each program is using. You can also use Activity Monitor in Applications and Utilities.
