Retry PowerPoint and see if it still crashes.
It was supposedly patched out but I have heard of instances where PowerPoint crashing can be fixed by removing this file. There is a common issue where a specific file called can cause instability. Select the First Aid tab and select Repair Disk Permissions.Īgain, if you’re on a work computer, you may not be able to do this.
Select the drive where Office is installed. 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. Either way, make sure you’re not overloading your computer. If you see a lot of apps running, close some of them down.
Press Cmd + Alt + Escape to see the Force Quit Applications menu. PowerPoint in itself shouldn’t stress a Mac even slightly but if you have other programs open and are neck deep in work, you may have a lot going on and your system may just be running short on resources.
