AAHHH! I just upgraded to PowerPoint for Mac, Office 2016, and I'm getting this same error. I spent a whole week on a presentation that I'm doing to tomorrow and almost all of my images have disappeared. THIS IS TERRIBLE! I'm not sure what I'm going to do.
'The image part with relationship ID rId2 was not found in the file'
Is there a fix for this?? Preferably before tomorrow morning? These are all images that I either created or pulled as screen shots. (All jpegs.)
PLEASE HELP!

It supposedly has been fixed on November 15th :(
This is not applicable on Macs, which is what the OP is using.
I am on a corporate 365 account, I have 15.22 for Mac, the problem just started for me. It has NOTHING to do with remote drives or Flash drives. I do have an SSD as most modern Macs do.
If PPT is treating THAT as a Flash drive... and barfing images because of that... then the Mac product is a total fail.
I was creating wireframe images in Illustrator, pasting them into Photoshop, and then copy pasting directly into a rather long PPT. Please consider me a cautionary tale for copy paste; it will inevitably lead to the heartbreak of relationship ID rld2 not found. Weirdly, this workflow used to work just fine for me in previous versions. :( Now I am exporting all the images to a subdirectory and re-importing them. I use safe names of course, no hyphens or weird characters. This seems to have worked for my latest deck. Fingers crossed!
Unfortunately when this corruption is triggered, it blows away the corporate graphics as well. So I have to continually replace all my title pages from the original corporate template, about 50% of the time I make a change to a deck (even a typo correction), for every presentation I do now. I have no workaround for that.
Come on, Microsoft, support your own damn product already and fix this Mac issue!
Designers everywhere are spending hundreds of hours in rework, costing our employers millions in lost productivity, all because of this stupid problem. We will come to despise you if you don't fix it - or at least publish an efficient workaround.
CWOT.
(yes I know this is a user forum, I just needed a little rant this morning)
Your installation of Office is not up to date.
The first thing to do is install the recent updates. Make sure your Mac has a working internet connection, then:
Update Mac OS X. Open the App store and click on the Updates button. Install the updates.
After, in any Office application go to the Help menu and choose Check for Updates to launch the AutoUpdate app. Let AutoUpdate install updates and then restart your Mac.
After installing, test again
Still happens with PowerPoint 15.25 on the Mac.
Sigh.
