Broken Keynote themes and missing bullets

Since I last created and played a Keynote presentation on Dec 1st, something happened and many of my themes are not fully functional. My "Retro" and "Craft" themes give the warning: "One or more colors could not be properly read, and may not display correctly on some systems." The background for those slides was missing (blank with an X through it) and many small images and bullets were also missing (with X and ? symbols instead). The slides in the preview window are correct though.
Venetian, Kyoto and Moroccan gave the same error message, but only seem to be missing bullets.
Harmony, Vellum, Industrial, Scrapbook, Hard Cover, Water Color and Pushpin didn't give an error message but were still missing bullets.
I'm running Keynote 5.0.3, and the last two updates I ran since creating a working presentation with the Retro theme and noticing the brokenness were "Java for Mac OSX 10.5 Update 6" and "Digital Camera Raw Compatibility Upd 2.7". In both cases my machine did not correctly reboot itself, but the updates claim they were successfully installed.
Rebooting didn't help. Do I need to reinstall iWork? Does anyone have any idea what happened?

My guess is you're actually editing regular slides and not the masters. Choose Show Master Slides from the little view pop-up menu in the tool bar and you'll see the Master slide area appear above the regular slides. Edit THOSE and your changes will stick.
Then take a look at this tutorial:
http://www.keynoteuser.com/tips/savingtheme.html
Now, once you've got a theme, the only EMPTY text containers that can be placed on a master are the Title and Body boxes. Anything else on a Master will be locked in, but you CAN put text on a master and it will show up on all slides that use that master.
As for your bullet points...
1. Yeah, others have found 3rd party solutions for this that work well. Hopefully someone will chime in on that.
2. Yeah, it's lacking in that area, though you can put a bunch of shapes on a slide in PPT and then open that PPT file in Keynote and most of them will come into Keynote with the stoke and fill still editable (a little hidden feature few know about).
3. You can drag speech bubbles across themselves in any direction and they'll flip over, without the text flipping over.

    Hi one the screws from my bottom case wws lost and because of that the hinge is now oushing my case to open. I have tried to get another screw from another part of the laptopn but it appears that the small but that helps the screw stay connected to the case is broken.

  • Where did my bullets go in Keynote? And why am I missing files?

    I've been working on a Keynote presentation that will be exported as a PDF eBook. I opened it up today and I get error messages saying that I have missing files and my square "checkmark-less" bullets have disappeared. (See image below)
    I'm using the Black Checkmark Bullets. The checkmark bullets are ok. Its checkmarkless cousin isn't listed in the inspector window when I try to update it manually. I'm also getting a lot of error messages.
    This is the first time I've expereinced this problem. Running 10.7.3 on a MBPro (2.66 i7 w/4GB RAM), Keynote 5.1.1).
    Ideas to correct this issue? Thanks in advance!

    SOLVED -
    Used AppCleaner to unstaill Keynote, Pages and Numbers. Reinstalled iWork from disk and ran updates. Issue resolved itself after this.

  • I have been dragging my files to a external drive to have a back-up for them and I lost some of my folders. They just went completely missing. I didn't delete them, and it was all stuff that I have worked on in the past month. How do I get them back?

    I have been dragging my files to a external drive to have a back-up for them and I lost some of my folders. They just went completely missing. I didn't delete them, and it was all stuff that I have worked on in the past month. How do I get them back?

    You really should be doing backups with an actual backup application, especially one that will work automatically, and, if your external HD is large enough, back up your entire system.  These can automatically back up only what's changed since the  previous backup, and some will keep "archive" copies of things you've changed or deleted, also.
    Too many things can go wrong, such as your internal HD failing, and you'll have a major project to reinstall everything.
    You already have Time Machine, built-in to OSX.  You might want to review the Time Machine Tutorial, and perhaps browse Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.
    #27 in the second link mentions some alternatives, too.

  • All of my titles, themes and generators seem to be completely missing from Final cut pro x. Do you know how to get them back?

    All of my titles, themes and generators seem to be completely missing from Final cut pro x. Do you know how to get them back?

    Do you mean that when you click the title browser, for example, nothing is there?
    Do you at least see several categories listed in the effects browser?
    First make sure that you have nothing typed into the search box (not even spaces).
    If you still see nothing, try this in order:
    1) Window->Revert to Original Layout
    2) Quit FCP X, delete preferences using Preference Manager (a free download from Digital Rebellion)
    3) Download FCS Remover, and use it to completely remove FCP X. This will NOT delete your content, just the application.
    4) Reinstall FCP X from the Mac App Store: log in with the same Apple ID that you used to buy FCP X, click on "Purchases", locate FCP X and click Install.

  • How do I import and use the Keynote themes that I've downloaded?

    I'm sure this is a stupid question, but I searched this forum & didn't immediately find the answer I needed. I've downloaded some Keynote themes (they have a .kth extension). How do I import these into Keynote 08 so that Keynote will recognize and use the themes?
    Thanks!

    Put the .kth in "Themes" folder under the route Home > Library > Application Support > iWork > Keynote > Themes - it will then appear (at the bottom) in the theme chooser when opening keynote.

  • Is there a way to allow someone to play a keynote briefing and prevent them from copying, rewriting, or printing it?

    Is there a way to allow someone to play a keynote briefing and prevent the user from copying, modifying, or printing it?  The reason I ask this
    is because I have created a lengthy keynote briefing book that has motion in it, and I don't want it copied, modified, or printed.

    To lock a presentation : 1 Open the presentation you want to lock , and hold your pointer over the name of the presentation at the top of the Keynote application window. A triangle appears. 2 Click the triangle and choose Lock. To unlock a presentation for editing: Hold your pointer over the name of the presentation at the top of the application m window until the triangle appears, click the triangle, and then choose Unlock
    Good luck

  • Indexing - Out of Sequence and Missing Page Numbers

    I have a 296 page book. This is an on-going project and has been updated many times.
    Two new sections have been added to this book. I have marked words for indexing.
    My problem is that many of the page numbers are repeated or out-of-sequence.
    For example: Intake Manifolds 66, 67, 68, 69, 68, 87, 68, 69, 186, 189, 203
    This is one item that is not in the new sections, so this should not have changed.
    I also have noticed missing page numbers. I verified a 'Helmets & Accessories' marker on page 248 of the new section, but it doesn't show up in the index at all.
    Does anyone have any idea what could cause this? I have searched the net for others having the same issues, but I haven't found many.
    IDCS4 on Mac Pro.
    Thanks.
    Randy

    We are having the same problem! I'm using ID CS4 6.0.1 on a 1.8 GHz PowerPC G5 running OS X 10.5.6. For example, see below. The * represents a missing page number.
    Axle, Rear
    Alignment 163
    Fastener Torque 15
    Magnetic Drain Plugs 28, 51, 27, 45 [note how out of sequence these are!!]
    Preventive Maintenance *, 145
    CS3 was finally fixed by an Adobe patch, and as far as indexing big books went, became as solid as a rock. But now they have broken it again!! It is killing us, because we've switched 20 computers to CS4 only and updated all of our files, so we can't go back!
    The only thing that seems to work is to find problem files and open the Index palette and click the Update Preview button. THEN you run your index, and sometimes it's fixed. A couple of "bad" files can spoil the whole barrel, but it's impossible to figure out which ones are bad, or even why they're bad. And when you finally fix one problem, by using the Update Preview button or by blowing away index markers and re-doing them, and getting rid of unused topics, the SAME PROBLEM will appear in other places related to other files in your book, that were "good" before!!!

  • Why can't anyone tell me how to remove all those little "!" in the left column all at once or at least sort them so I can mark them and then delete them?

    Why can't anyone tell me how to remove all those little "!" in the left column all at once or at least sort them so I can mark them and then delete them?

    This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
    Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes.
    If, on the otherhand, you've been cleaning up your media from Explorer rather than iTunes and just want to eliminate the now broken links, use Tunes Folder Watch with its option to check for dead tracks on startup.
