Keynote document won't open

I've created a Keynote presentation on one iMac, but when trying to open the presentation on my MacBook Pro it has the following error:
"You need newer versions of OS X and Keynote to open this presentation. Install the latest version of OS X, then download the latest version of Keynote from the Mac App Store"
Unfortunately the App Store tells me that both Keynote 6.2.2 and OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 are both up to date.
Look forward to some assistance to hopefully resolve this issue.

You will need to provide some basic information:
what operating sytem are you using?
what version of Keynote are you using?
what versions of Keynote created the files?
what Mac model are you using?

  • Pages, Numbers & Keynote documents won't open

    This is a problem with Pages 5.1 and Numbers on Mac as well.
    I have tried direct fixes for several users with the problem, but haven't got very far.
    If you are experiencing this problem, I suspect it is a problem across the suite.
    Could you please add to this post:

  • Latest Keynote update won't open file. Says I need Keynote update! Why?

    I'm working on an urgent Keynote presentation for work (yes, on Sat night!) from my boss's MacBook at home ... or, rather, I'm trying to. Keynote just won't open the Keynote file I created yesterday on a different MacBook (reading from USB key). It says I need the newer version of Keynote in order to open this file. I checked ... the version installed was the latest version, but just for good measure, I've just re-installed the update from the Apple site (with boss's permission, lol). No joy ... still returning the same error message. Insists the file version is newer than the version of Keynote I'm running.
    Help, anyone?

    You are alternating between the two versions of Pages:
    Pages 5 and Pages '09.
    Pages '09 can not open Pages 5, and Pages 5 alters/damages Pages '09 files.
    Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09 is in your Applications/iWork folder.

  • Word documents won't open in Lion

    I installed Lion and now my Word documents won't open. I tried to open them with Pages but that didn't work either. Any suggestions?

    If you upgrade word the documents switch from .doc to .docx

  • Recent update OS10.5 to 10.6 to Lion. Using Pages (4.1) only some documents won't open. At Genius bar loaded new copy Pages; reloaded Lion clean install. Still won't open although will on another computer. What now?

    Pages question: recent update OS10.5 to 10.6 to Lion. Using Pages (4.1) only some documents intermittently
    won't open. At Genius bar loaded new copy Pages; reloaded Lion clean install. Still won't open although will on another computer. On the other Mac (running Lion), saved a copy of a document with a new name and sent it back to first computer. At first it would open, but now it as well as multiple other Pages documents won't open. What now?

    yes;
    I got Pages to work now- there were two versions, one Universal, and one Intel- by moving the Universal to trash ( although I can't delete it) and moving Intel version to iWorks folder in Applications, it is now working. Doesn't explain why it didn't work though- the other MacBook pro 17 inch that could open all the Pages documents also has two copies of Pages as I see now....
    I still however can't open Numbers documents on the MacBook pro 15 inch.... it is a Universal version of Numbers.

  • HT4942 pages document won't open on ipad or icloud

    I have created a document in pages on my ipad. 
    All of a sudden after switching to another document and then trying to switch back, on my ipad which wasn't connected to the internet at the time, I could no longer open my document in Pages.
    I message popped up saying document won't open.  I tried making a copy of it and the copy had the same error message when I tried to open it. I tried emailling and exporting it in the ipad Pages app but it froze up when trying to do it and didn't work.
    I logged onto icloud and I see the document there but it won't open. I get a message that says "Document Can't be downloaded, please try again"
    Is there any way to recover this document?  It is so frustrating because I can see what I wrote is still there in the thumbnail - but I just can't get the actual document.

    It isn't complicated if you don't use it. Like Apple.

  • Keynote presentations won't open on my computer.

    Keynote '09 presentations won't open on my computer. Over the past few days I was prompted several times to update my keynote app and so I did. Now I can't open any presentations and it tells me to download a newer version. When I get to the mac app store to do so there is no update. Nor my app store does it show any recent updates for keynote or pages, which also prompted me to update over the past two days. Please help me open my keynote presentations!

    I would try:
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

  • Scanned documents won't open in pages.

    I have an HP Photosmart D110. I have tried scanning and saving to documents with tiff, jpeg and pdf but when I open pages the documents are greyed out and won't open. I am using Mac OS X version 10.6.8. I am new to Macs and am not tecnical, please help.

    The HP scanners usually save to certain default folders which may not have read/write privileges.
    Look in the scanner panel and you will see that you can choose to save to another location. Choose your documents folder or desktop.
    But I think you are actually trying to open the scans from the Open dialog. Open is for Pages or other WP documents, not for images.
    You import the scans by either dragging them into Pages or by going Menu > Insert > Choose…

  • QuickTime Player Document won't open

    I tried opening it a few times and checked permissions, (I think they're set right) and QuickTime won't open my QuickTime Player Documents. The end part is .ml20.
    Any advice?

    "checked permissions, (I think they're set right) "
    Do you actually mean you checked your QT MIME settings? Asking because you really don't check permissions to set anything.
    Repairing permissions involes the following:
    Save and/or quit your applications & doucuments
    Go to Applications>Utilities Folder
    Click Disk Utility
    Click the Volumn (HD) that you want to check.
    Click the Repair Disk Permissions button. (Don't worry about verifying)
    At the bottom of window when the repairs have finished, you will see the “most important thing”:
    Permission Repairs Complete
    The previliges have been repaired or completed on the selected volumn.
    Restart your computer.

  • Please Help! My Pages, Keynote & Numbers won't open

    Updated Keynote (6.2.2) , Pages (5.2.2) & Numbers (3.2.2) August 25th
    Updated to Mavericks 10.9.4 September 10th.
    K, P & N would not open before or after system upgrade. When I open the app, it takes me to my Documents folder. I can't even download them again because they say installed. If I deleted them, can I re-add K, P & N for free? They came with my computer.

    Hey Jen127,
    Thanks for the question. When you open Pages, Keynote or Numbers, an “Open” dialog appears. This dialog allows you to choose to open a document (defaults to showing your Documents folder) or open a file from iCloud. In the bottom left corner there is also a “New Document” button:

  • Hp windows 7 64-bit documents won't open

    I have gotten a new computer and my documents are all their but when I try to open them they won't open. How do I go about getting them open

    Hi,
    Most likely the files are not associated to the default programs. What type of files you are trying to open?..If they are microsoft word or MS excel then you'll need microsoft office installed in the computer.
    To fix the problem for other files you can try few things..
    i. First make sure all windows updates are up to date. If there are any updates pending then install them.
    ii. Then open HP Support Assitant and check if there are any pending updates from HP.
    Using HP Support Assistant
    iii. If after running all the updates the problem still persists then can follow the steps from the link below or directly run the file listed there..
    Set File Associations Through Default Programs
    Note:
    If you have HP Support Assistant installed on the computer(The Blue Question Mark) then open it ==> Complete all pending Updates & Tuneups==> Restart and Check. It may solve your problem
    Although I am an HP employee, I am speaking for myself and not for HP.

  • Mavericks Pages 5 documents won't open

    I upgraded to Mavericks a few days ago. I have documents that were created in Pages ’09 that will no longer open. (Some will, and I don’t know what the difference is) When I try to open one, it either opens, no problem, or I get the message “The required index.xml file is missing”. This message is in a rectangle with an icon representative of Pages ’09 (the inkwell). Since it has this icon, I’m assuming that I was trying to open it in the ’09 version, which is what I intended to do. Since this didn’t work, I tried to “open with Pages.app (4.0.5)” and got the same message. I’m a little afraid to try to open it in Pages 5, since I’ve heard rumors that this could ruin the document. I’m at a loss, and, like everybody else, I have important documents that I need access to. After I upgraded I had both Pages ’09 and Pages 5 on my dock, instead of one of them being in the applications folder. I have looked briefly at pages 5 and determined that I prefer ’09. They are both still in my dock but I never open Pages 5. I’m using an iMac with 10.9.4. All my documents are in Pages ’09 and I want to open them in Pages ’09. What to do?

    Having two versions of Pages on your Mac is a royal pain. The correct version of Pages '09 for Mavericks is v4.3. Apple has a downloadable update here. I am current with both, including Pages v5.2.2. Your opening errors may be due to that Pages v4.0.5 running on Mavericks and needing a newer v4.3. Run Disk Utility from /Applications/Utilities after updating Pages ’09 per above, and verify/repair your permissions.
    I have dragged and dropped Pages '09 from /Applications/iWork '09, and Pages v5.2.2 from /Applications onto my Dock, so the icons are adjacent. You should drag and drop each of your Pages Dock icons out on to your Desktop about two inches and release them to remove them from the Dock. Don't worry, these are aliases to the real applications. Now drag/drop each of the Pages applications back onto the Dock as I have done. You will now know exactly where these icons point back to the individual application locations.
    In System Preferences > Security & Privacy (click the gold lock), under Allow apps downloaded from: mine is set to Mac App Store and identified developers. I am wondering if you have FileVault enabled for your boot drive? I have never seen your dialog as posted, so try my settings.
    With both applications installed on your Mac, you can only open Pages ’09 documents as follows, and double-click will always open them in Pages v5+.
    Launch Pages ’09, and open the document via the application File chooser
    Right-click on the ’09 document, and from the Open With sub-menu, select Pages (v4.n)
    Drag and drop the ’09 document onto the Pages ’09 Dock icon.
    Pages v5.2+ will open a Pages ’09 document without asking if you want too. As Pages v5.2+ is about 110 features/functionality less than Pages ’09 v4.3, it will also silently filter content from your ’09 documents as it opens them. This has been a catastrophe for those without backups.
    For forward organizational purposes, I would recommend that you create a custom tag name and color in Finder Preferences for explicit identification of your Pages ’09 documents. You can change this color and tag name in the open document title when you roll over the file name. Then you have both a visual clue to avoid opening these in Pages v5+, and the tag name allows you to use an Finder Window, or Spotlight search on that name to exclusive find Pages ’09 documents. Here is an example of a Finder tag: Pages search:

  • After installing update for Pages 5.0.1 documents won't open

    Hi,
    Was running Pages 4.3 on Maverrick 10.9.1
    I got a notification that an update was available. I clicked to update the application. Pages 5.0.1 was installed. It launches. It seems I can create new documents as well.
    However, I’m unable to open my previous documents. Moreover, I can’t seem to open them with the old Pages version (4.3) either. When I right-click the icon in the dock, the old documents that were open when the update occurs are listed. But I can’t get them on screen.
    Is there a cache to clear? Shall I restart? Any suggestions will be appreciated.
    P.

    A restart solved the issue.
