Attempting to Save Makes Keynote Unresponsive

I have a file, admittedly large (5.1G file).
When I try to save, it gives me an error (didn't write it down) saying something like 'Ketnote encountered an error saving the File. Please quit Keynote.'
Then, if I try to do anything with the app, even just select a pulldown menu, anything, the spinning beach-ball of death comes up, and Keynote hangs. I tried leaving it unattended for over a half hour, and it is still spinning away "unresponsive" and I have to force quit out of it. Subsequently, the file I have saved is then horribly corrupted, all the content on every page, except for the text, is gone on all 120 pages.
I have had Keynote 9 do this once before, on a file not very large at all. I frequently create large, media heavy files in Keynote and never once encountered a problem like this until Keynote 9.
I know one should save often, yet when the very act of saving often makes the application crash, it makes one fear saving the file. I end up doing a lot of work, and then saving new versions of the file in about 1 hour intervals. Every time I go to save, I hold my breath. I've lost several hours worth of work today. I'm not in a very good mood.
I am going to try deleting and reinstalling Keynote.
I could absolutely scream.

Ok.
I believe this file has just become too large an unwieldy.
I'm chopping it into chapters.
I've found that the "Hyperlink" can link to another Keynote file.
So, I can go through a chapter and then click the link and it continues on to the next Keynote as if it were all part of the same file.
Now what I'm hoping to find out is if there is a way to activate a Hyperlink without having to click. In other words, can the page transition in some way activate a hyperlink. I run my Keynote using Apple's iPhone Keynote Remote Control App. So I'd like to be able to keep the flow of the slideshow without having to walk over to the computer to click on a link. If I could control the Hyperlink via the page transition, for all practical purposes it would behave just as if it were still all one file.

  • 'Sorry a serious error has occured that requires Adobe Premiere Pro to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project'. What is the solution? (Mac)

    There is an error that says when I am open my project: 'Sorry a serious error has occured that requires Adobe Premiere Pro to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project'. What is the solution? (mac)

    This happens to me all the time too. When I attempt to reopen, it makes a "copy of" my project. This is frustrating and happiness often.

  • Another "Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Elements to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project."

    When I try an open the original project or a copy of it I get this message.
    "Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Elements to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project."
    I have tried to create a new project and get the same message.
    I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the program a few times.
    The last time I worked on the project I had no issues.
    Any suggestions?

    Hi
    a. Open Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 - Yes, I get the welcome screen (v9.0).  I can choose open project, and choose my project.  The program will open and show that it is loading the project with the scroll line will show all the way to 100% and will stay there.  Sometimes I get the "Sorry" message and sometimes the loading project window just goes away and nothing is loaded and the program stays on the clock until I close it.
    b. You can find the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file and deletion of it makes no difference to your issue. - Made no difference
    c. Have you deleted the whole 9.0 Folder in which the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exists? If not, please do so. - Done, made no difference
    1. Does the problem exist with and without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled? - Running McAfee Total Access Protection.  Turned off firewall and anti virus. It works.  As a test I left the anti virus off and tried loading project with and with out the firewall turned on.  The project loaded each time.  I then tested the firewall on, with and with out antivirus.  Antivirus off - project loads each time.  Antivirus on - doesn't load and program stays on clock.
    I will continue to experiment with it and see what happens.  The last time I used it I was running a different McAfee product than no.  So it seems to work with the Firewall on and the Antivirus off.

  • Keynote Crashing - with Lion.   Most often when I switch out of Keynote to another program - Keynote freezes - says Application Not Responding.  If I save the Keynote before switching, it does not crash - only when it says it is an "edited" file....help

    Keynote Crashing - with Lion.   Most often when I switch out of Keynote to another program - Keynote freezes - says Application Not Responding.  If I save the Keynote before switching, it does not crash - only when it says it is an "edited" file....help

    I posted this on another thread. See if this works:
    1) Uncheck "Backup previous version" in Keynote's Preferences.
    2) Make a duplicate copy of your file that has issues and save it.
    3) If you still get spinning wheels from switching between apps after editing or 10 seconds of inactivity, manually save with command+s. It may beach ball here but be patient and wait for it to finish! Try editing and resume doing work now.
    Command+s may be a bit slow but I think that might be normal since the files are so big.
    Good luck and let me know if this works.

  • Ramdomly attempts to save normal HTML page as template

    DW CS4.
    If I have a plain HTML file, such as one called index.html for instance, and I make changes and go to Save it, "sometimes" DW saves it just fine. But sometimes it attempts to save it as a template -- and won't let me save it in standard file format.
    I have to do Save As to create an alternate file, and do Save As to write that alternate file as the orignal filename (ie: index.html) that I wanted in the first place.
    And the behavior is intermittent. Sometimes is keeps doing it, and sometimes it won't do it at all. Even within the same site files.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    This is what's at the top of the page.
    Can you please show me what to delete?
    I don't think Dreamweaver will let me edit or delete what's grayed out, but I suppose I could do that in Notepad with no problems, correct?
    Thanks!

  • Error when attempting to Save as... in CS5

    Hello,
    Occasionally when attempting to Save as... in CS5 it will give me an error saying that the file doesn't exist and to verify the filepath and try again. We are attempting to save to an external hard drive which is close to full but not completely. But, if I restart my machine the issue seems to go away for awhile. Is this a problem with PS or is it just because the hard drive is full or something else entirely? Seems like a strange error, has anyone else experienced this?

    A local hard drive or across network?
    The missing disk space may be an issue as Photoshop may need "double" the file’s size when saving (a safe save, the original file is removed after the new file has been saved, which is intended to make sure the file is not damaged if a crash occurs during saving).

  • How can I make Keynote files read-only (eg: to share with students)?

    I would like to share some keynote files with students, and I would like to set them up as read-only, so that the students can tap the screen, read my presentation, but not alter it.  I've tried to set the files up as read-only on my iMac desktop, but when I load the file onto my iPad, it's still editable.
    Any ideas re: how to make Keynote files read-only?
    I've tried to export the files as PDF and load them into iBook, but some of Keynote's basic "build" functions won't work this way.  Specifically, I have files set up with questions and answers (ie - a question appears, and you have to tap the screen to see the answer, but this "build" function seems to disappear when I get it to show up in iBook).
    Any ideas how to make Keynote files read-only?  I am happy to use another program, but I want the students to tap the screen in order to see the answer to a question.
    Thanks!

    as long as $PATH is set, you shouldn't need to reconnect them (i think).  if you send the list of apps through | awk -F '/' '{print $NF}' | that'll strip the path
    /edit: added the "(i think)" part

  • Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Pro to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project.

    Every time I place a video into the sequence timeline, this error message pops up, "Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Pro to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project." and then Premiere crashes.
    I tried uninstalling all products and then reinstalling them, and the problem is still there.
    What can I do to fix this?

    @RoninEdits, Thanks for the response.
    But yeah, I've tried both the Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration AND Software Only and its the same issue with both.

  • Error while creating sites on entire site collection - the file you are attempting to save or retrieved has been blocked from this web site by server administrator

    Hi,
    I am trying to create a new sub site. Everytime I try to create the site I get this error:
    the file you are attempting to save or retrieved has been blocked from this web site by server administrator
    This applies to almost all site templates except the "blank site" template. I am logged in as System Administrator.

    Issue resolved!
    Don't know how but somehow, xml was added to the Blocked file types. Removing the entry did the trick.

  • Help! Muse 2014.3 keeps crashing when I attempt to save my .muse file

    I have the latest version of Muse [2014.3] Since the update the application repeatedly crashes at the least 'provocation'.
    I'm building a multipage website for a client and brought the last file home [I'd been working on it at my office]. One or two of the image files needed updating, which I did. When I attempted to save the updated file I got [and keep getting] a fatal error.
    The error message reads: "Dangling Ref or Ownership: BoxPageItem refers to unknown UID, BoxPageItem refers to unknown UID, BoxPageItem refers to unknown UID".
    The application then hangs and I have to force quit. This is happening repeatedly and the dialogue tells me nothing about how to fix these errors [3 image errors perhaps, since the current crashes happen after updating images?]. I'm in a serious time crunch now, how can I recover my file to continue working on this project and what is causing the problem? Anyone help me?
    Is this version of Muse really that unstable?
    Thanks,
    Charlie

    Hi Fabia,
    I think I fixed it over the weekend. But interestingly, my problem was images inside compositions too.
    I did something similar to you, where I didn't let Muse update when the file opens [which was causing the crashes]. Instead I located the images in the assets panel, opened them in Photoshop and resaved them. Then I imported and saved after each one. This seemed to work.
    For me, the 'container' was apparently OK, I had the background fill set to none anyhow, so reasoned there might be a problem with one of the seven images [seven in my case, but which one, or maybe all?]. Since then, I've been able to add content and save normally, and this morning I've been able to let the client see the site progress, as promised.
    Thanks for the reply and good luck with your project.

  • I am getting an error when attempting to save or export a PDF to Word

    When attempting to save as OR export a PDF document to Word, I am getting the following error:   Bad PDF, error in processing fonts. <cannot find CMap resource file>.  Does anyone know how to fix this?  I also attached an image of the error pop up.

    There are some preflight scripts to fix errors in a PDF. You might try those, particularly for fonts. An alternative is to refry the PDF by printing to a new PDF and then trying to save that to WORD.

  • Recently when I attempt to save a Pages document it won't allow me the option.  The SAVE button is not bolded as an option to click on.  Any ideas how to fix this?

    Recently I have not been able to save Pages notes/documents that I have created.  I have never had this problem before.  When I attempt to SAVE, the button isn't bolded so I don't have the option to save.  Any ideas on how to fix it?

    Hi Peter,  I appreciate any ideas you might have.  I tried Apple support and I ended up at some 'unavailable' voicemail!?!!
    I am using Pages '09.
    It's not being auto saved.
    I typically save to both pages and document files but I can't save anything.  When I go to close it and it asks me if I want to save, the save window comes up but the SAVE button isn't bolded as an option.  I have tried Command C but of course it brings me back to the same window.  This only began happening a few days ago. I use Pages a lot.

  • Make Keynote default presentation software

    I have office 08 on my Mac but have now switched to iWork 08. I don't want to delete office 08 as there are some occasions when I need it, but i prefer to work in iWork 08.
    How do I make keynotes the default program for presentations. Likewise for pages and numbers respectively?
    Cheers

    Highlight a known Word document in the Finder, highlight it & choose Get Info from the File menu. In the Get Info box, click the triangle next to "Open With." Click on this drop-down menu & choose Pages. If Pages is not a choice, choose "Other" & navigate to the Pages application. Now click the "Change" button under the text that asks if you want to open all documents like this with Pages. You can then double-click the Word documents & they will open in Pages. Note that the icon for the Word files will have a plain, white icon.
    Repeat with Excel/Numbers & PowerPoint/Keynote.
