An unexpected error occurred - please quit keynote and reopen

I am a public speaker who has relied on Keynote for years, but it's become so unstable I must now use PowerPoint (a Microsoft product), which is more stable on a Mac. Has anyone ever seen these kinds of notes:
I am getting dozens of "Missing file" "tilepapergray-10.jpg (Master slide: Title & Bullets; Slide: 65)" This is just one example.
I am getting a list of about 40 of these even though there is no "tilepapergray-10.jpg" anywhere on my computer. In fact, this slide has a black background with no text boxes on it at all.
What the heck is this? Keynote continually crashes and with no automatic saves, I lose hours and hours worth of work.I also will re-open a presentation and all of a sudden random graphics have just disappeared for no reason whatsoever. Is anyone else having these issues? How many times do I need to reinstall the program?
Thanks for any advice.

There's obviously a software glitch somewhere, as you've already guessed, so you'll have to do some more troubleshooting. Tips on good maintenance can be read here <http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-20005830-263.html?tag=mncol;title>.
What's unfortunately not mentioned in that article is what to do if you suspect a corrupt preference (.plist) file, as, in fact, I do suspect in your case. These are found in the PREFERENCES folder in the LIBRARY folder in your home folder. .plist files are created when you use an app. Removing one rarely leads to problems, and if one is removed, it'll be re-created when the app is next opened.
Here's how to proceed: open the PREFERENCES folder and search for the one or ones associated with the app in question, in your case, com.apple.iWork.Keynote.plist. With the app not running, drag the suspect file out of the PREFS folder onto your desktop, then re-start the app and see whether your problem has been corrected. If yes, trash the pref file you'd put on the desktop, end of story. If the problem persists, you can put the pref file back into the PREFS folder (which is the usual recommendation) or trash it (which is what I usually do, since a fresh one was created).
If you've tried all of the above to no avail, try re-installing the app.
If your problem still persists, get back to us here.
Good luck.

  • Time capsule flashes amber before setup, when I input the network info it keeps saying "an unexpected error occured, please try again". Already tried 10 times, even resetting, same thing keeps happening... What to do?

    When I open my airport utility it detects the time capsule, but when I set everything up (name, choose the internet connection, etc) it takes a minutes, says waiting for time capsule... And then "an unexpected error occured, please try again". I tried 10 times, the same thing keeps happening... On top of that the orange light keeps blinking as soon as i turn it on. Tried to reset it also. Doesn't change a thing...

    Sorry you have had such a bad first impression..
    Is the ipv6 turned on? This was an after thought as they seem to have released both firmware and utility and woken up after the event to the fact they actually needed ipv6 on to manage it.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4597
    Otherwise I don't see what you are using to connect to the TC from the iMac.. is it wired or wireless??
    Can I suggest you do the setup again.
    This time use ethernet to the TC.. in full isolation from the network. And do the setup manually.
    You may need to factory reset again.. sorry about that .. and start over.. only the Mac plugged into the TC.. nothing else.
    You may need further help just post where you get up to and we can sort out what is happening from there.
    This often works easier at the start from the airport utility in iphone or ipad if you have one.

    I changed my password with oracle directory manager and with portal builder but still i can't log me in portal builder.

    I changed my password without problems. Too changed my passwords with Oracle directory manager. I created 2 more users but only i can log me in to portal with the user PORTAL and PORTAL_ADMIN.
    With any other user i have the same message error.
    "An unexpected error occurred. please try again"

    I only have problem with web interfaces, because I can log me in to Oracle directory manager with the orcladmin user.
    I'm confused.
    Thanks for your time.

  • I transfered my iWork '09 to my new Mac Air. Now my Keynote won't open. I get message, "An unexpected error has occurred, please quit and reopen Keynote." This doesn't work.

    I transfered my iWork '09 to my new Mac Air. Now my Keynote won't open. I get message, "An unexpected error has occurred, please quit and reopen Keynote." This doesn't work.

    so Keynote still isnt working after installing, I thought you had it sorted from your last post.
    If you have not done so remove any files relating to iWork and Keynote and reinstall iWork
    files that must go are:
    the iWork ’09 folder from the main HD > Applications;
    the iWork ’09 folder in HD > Library > Application Support
    the individual iWork application plist files found in HD > Users > (your account) > Library >
    There are a number of free application removal tools  that will do this for you:
    trashme       webpage
    apptrap        webpage
    appcleaner   webpage

    I have seen similar threads that suggest this is a known issue with this version of Acrobat but I would like conformation from Adobe that this is a known issue and whether it is fixed in a newer version?
    Adobe Acrobat version 10.1.13
    SharePoint 2010

    Hi quodd,,
    We are sorry for the issue being faced by you. I need some information from you so that I take further steps:
    1. Which Adobe product are you using Acrobat or Adobe reader- what is the complete version?
    2. How are you opening and saving the PDF, the exact workflow?
         Are you doing it from within Adobe Reader/Acrobat application or opening it from browser, doing changes and saving it using browser itself.
    3. Can you try to save a PDF to library with Custom template and managed metadata columns using browser directly.
    4. Please verify that columns name do not contain spaces or some other special characters.
       Can you try to save PDF to library with Custom template and just a single managed metadata column  with a simple name
    Thanks,

  • TS4597 AirPort base station not seen or "An unexpected error occurred" appears in AirPort Utility 6.3 - It did the above steps and cannot get airport utility to allow access to the Airport extreme in order to reconfigure please help

    I tried following the article's instructions by going into System Preferences / Network and changing the configure ipv6 tab to Link local only and I STILL am getting the same error. Can someone please advise how to get this ariport extreme back online and configured

    I'm in a frustrating predicament with this error, so if folks have any suggestions, that would be greatly appreciated...
    A few days ago my internet stopped working as best i know out of the blue (3rd gen Airport Extreme with a couple iPhones, iPad, Apple TV's, Mac's (one with Mavericks) on it).  In trying to fix it, I powered down everything and reset the router.  When the router is initializing (seen through the Airport utility), the internet starts working again on the Mac in which I'm running the Airport utility. (a browser in background loads a previously unloadable webpage).  I'm then left with a screen where the Airport utility is waiting for me to enter set-up info:
    If I leave the Airport Utility in this state and don't hit next, my internet works fine on my Mac.  If I set-up this info, however, my internet no longer works (in Airport Utility the Internet globe has a orange circle saying internet disconnected) and I get a screen saying "An unexpected error occured.  Try again."  I've tried toggling a number of router settings, restarting the router, but nothing seems to fix it.
    I've taken the router to Apple, where they were able to create a network fine with the router.  I also bought a new AE router, and tried an old AE express router, but all attempts get the same error.  I've also tried using the iOS Airport utility, but that doesn't seem to help.  I've tried the older version (5.6) of Airport Utility run on a non-Mavericks Mac, but that didn't help.
    I had a ISP technician come out, but they basically said the plug (we don't have a modem, but just a ethernet plug in our apartment)  in which you're getting the internet from us is working, and it's your router.  They're diagnostics said the router is 'throwing off a bunch of errors.'  That being said, they've confirmed the setting on the AE are okay (as far as they know...).
    Any thoughts here?  I'm not especially network-proficient, but searching around has pointed me to potential issues with mavericks, IPv6, and the latest version of the Airport Utility. 
    I'm desperate - please help!
    Much thanks in advance.

  • Printing Calendar:An unexpected error occurred.  Please try again later.

    I have been trying unsuccessfully for 3 days to print out a calendar from iphoto. I have done this every year for xmas gifts and this usually goes off without a hitch.
    I click on buy calendar and it makes me login to my account (account works, I can still purchase via iTunes).
    Once I confirm payment (and I have tried changing my payment method) and move past step 3 I get a pop up that says "An unexpected error occurs. Please try your again later"
    I tried cards, individual photos and my old calendars. No orders will go thru.
    Please help as I need this for xmas.

    Let's give the old reliable remedy a try. This might work; if it doesn't, we can at least rule it out. Quit iPhoto and delete your iPhoto preferences. To do this, go to your username> library> preferences> com.apple.iphoto.plist. Delete this file. Then reopen iPhoto; it will create a new preference file with all of the default settings.
    From your description, there is something in your Apple account that is at the root of the problem. Go to this site to be able to log into your account and make necessary changes. https://myinfo.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyInfo.woa
    If needed, check out this link for more info on Apple ID's. http://www.info.apple.com/support/howtoid.html
    I hope one of these solves your problem.

  • Error in Remote Web Access - "An unexpected error occurred. Please try again. If the problem continues, contact the person who manages your server."

    I have set up the RWA and I can log in to the web console with my server account. However when I click on any of the shared folders I get this error:
    An unexpected error occurred.  Please try again.  If the problem continues, contact the person who manages your server.
    Does anyone know how to troubleshoot this?

    I had this very same issue with one of our customer's servers that was running Windows Server Essentials. I ended up calling Microsoft about the issue. I hope this helps someone. This originally appeared on my blog: http://techspeeder.com/2014/01/14/remote-web-access-error-an-unexpected-error-occurred/
    Troubleshooting Steps:
    1.  We were getting unexpected errors while accessing shared folders remotely
    2.  The tech found IIS handlers were missing
    3.  She went to IIS > server level ( parent level) and added managed handler mapping  :
    Name: svc-Integrated-4.0
    Request path: *.svc
    Executable: System.ServiceModel.Activation.ServiceHttpHandlerFactory, System.ServiceModel.Activation, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35
    4. Added script mapping:
    Name: svc-ISAPI-4.0_64bit
    Request path: *.svc
    Executable: windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\aspnet_isapi.dll
    Name: svc-ISAPI-4.0_32bit
    Request path: *.svc
    Executable: windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework32\v4.0.30319\aspnet_isapi.dll
    5. Ran IISreset.
    6. We were able to access resources in Remote access, then.

    I would get an external drive today and copy all your stuff off the TC.. forget trying to load more onto it. There is a good chance after 3years (A 2TB should be only about 2years tops), the disk or the TC itself is on the way out. Do it immediately. If TM is also failing to backup you need to recognise symtoms of impending doom.
    Unfortunately the error messages are archane and it is hard to discover their meaning.
    You also cannot verify a network drive.. you can verify the TM sparsebundle though so do that.
    A5. http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
    Reboot the whole network from off.. certainly if you run later OS it can simply lose the drive..
    If you still fail to be able to copy to the TC.. then get that external and copy off it. Tell us if you can do that.

    Try removing the Genius database.  In the "Finder" go to the /username/Music/iTunes/ folder and delete the "iTunes Library Genius.itdb" file. This may allow the program to launch again. This file will be recreated upon first use of the "Genius" feature.

  • An unexpected error occurred processing your request. Check the logs for details and correct the problem.

    Hi All,
    I am configuring RSS Viewer webpart to SP 2013. 
    But i am getting an error "An unexpected error occurred processing your request. Check the logs for details and correct the problem."
    I looked for solution of this error. i got to know, we need to set proxy server in web.config file.
    So, in order to resolve this i put the following set of code in web.config and save the file
    <system.net>
        <defaultProxy>
          <proxy usesystemdefault="True" proxyaddress="http://myproxyserver" bypassonlocal="True" />      
        </defaultProxy>
      </system.net>
    But, still i am getting the error. 
    What could be the problem now. 
    Any help is much appreciated. 
    Thanks,
    Rakesh

    Hi Rakesh,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you got an error when you used RSS viewer web part in SharePoint 2013.
    The RSS viewer web part uses authentication delegation and is using the current user's credentials to access the proxy. However, the RSS viewer only supports anonymous and Kerberos authentication. So if you are using NTLM authentication, the RSS viewer will
    not be able to authenticate the user through the proxy. More information, please refer to the link:
