[SOLVED] File transfer from PC to MAC

[jiyung]

Hello, I have a presentation to do at school and I would like to use visual support with a powerpoint but at my home, I have a pc with Win7 and at school they have Macs (don't know wich os version) will this work?

I think Mac can read NTFS file system, so if you carry the powerpoint file with a NTFS usb storage device, it should be fine.

Also, make sure the powerpoint file is supported, ppt vs pptx (older version of powerpoint may not support pptx).

I would have another copy of the powerpoint online as backup in case the usb storage device fails. Also, before the presentation, make sure that powerpoint file works on the Mac.

Yes it will work, your usb is probably fat anyway, wich is writeble and readable by both Windows and Mac OS.

Now, you need an application to open your file in MAc OS, just like you use powerpoint in windows. Maybe you school have "powerpoint for Mac" installed. If not, openoffic.org is a free suite tha will open your file. There is even a possibility that "keynote", wich is part of "iWork" will open your file, your scholl may have that installed as well.
