  3. 3
    Go to File> Save As> Locate the thumb-drive/data-stick from the drop down menu
  4. 4
    Name your presentation (if you want a different name then already given).
  5. 5
    Click the Save button and close the .ppt presentation
  6. 6
    Instruct your computer to remove the hardware. Don't just remove the data-stick/thumb-drive from the port. On the Task-bar (bottom of the monitor) you will see a small drive icon. Mouse over it and it says "Safely Remove Hardware" on a PC or "Eject" on a Mac. Right click on it and simply locate the thumb-drive and then click "Stop." On a Mac, you can drag it to the trash can.
  7. 7
    Wait. The prompt will tell you it is safe to disconnect your device. That's it. You may now physically remove the device from your computer.

    That might mean the file was corrupted, which is an internal error in the system. It could also mean you saved the PowerPoint on a different version than you loaded it on.
