Can curved arrows be created in Keynote?

I want to create a diagram (feedback loop), which will look far better as a circle than as a square. I can find no information in Help on this topic and have not been able to change the straight arrows to curves.
Thanks for your advice.

You can't make the arrows in Keynote curved. To do
this, you'll have to create the arrows in some other
program then copy them in.
Thanks for your quick (although disappointing) reply. I appreciate knowing that I should stop struggling to find a solution within Keynote.

Trying to create a curved arrow

Hello,
I'm trying to create 3 simple curved arrows that make up a
full circle using the arrow tool in Fireworks - although I don't
seem to be able to easily curve the arrows. Is this done using a
path? Or is there another method that i'm missing? Would really
appreciate some help.
Many thanks

Can i open a file created in Keynote 6.0 in Keynote 5.0.3?

Can i open a file created in Keynote 6.0 in Keynote 5.0?

Only if it's exported in a compatible format, such as Keynote '09.

After creating a keynote, can it be converted into a powerpoint?

after creating a keynote can I convert it to a powerpoint to show on my company systems?

Some tips:
Lots of builds and transitions messes up the PPT file. Conversations are pretty much a waste of time for anyone serious about presentations in Keynote. They'll always look better in Keynote.
I have read that text box borders messes up the PPT export. Remove them before export: you can take a screenshot of them before you delete them, and then drag them into the respective slides in PPT.
For those with literally zero transitions and builds, export to PDF. Simple and easy. Or, export as images and then use those images as slides in PPT.
For those of us with transitions and builds (all of us I presume), export to a quicktime movie. My favorite option. This way, it'll play on pretty much any computer, you won't have to recreate the pres in PPT, and it's more professional. Who wants to open up a PPT file and then be stuck in the PPT program? A movie file is just better all around. Unless you need others to use the file to present to people in a conference room, you might be stuck recreating your Keynote in PPT. And, don't be afraid to import this movie into iMovie or FCP to do some additional editing.
Anyway, my view is converting to PPT is a waste of time for those with lots of builds, transitions, and text effects like kerning, text box borders, etc.

I created my first movie using one long video (all photos) clip created in Keynote and imported to Imovie. I added many music clips, some overlapping. I now want to lay down a new updated video clip, eliminate the original but retain the audio. Can I?

I created my first movie using one long video (a montage of photos) clip created in Keynote and imported to Imovie. I added many music clips, some overlapping. I now want to lay down a new updated video clip, eliminate the original video, but retain the audio. Can I? And if so, how. I cant seem to
find the info anywhere in help.

I would suggest that you go to iMovie/Preferences and make sure that Advanced Tools are enabled.
Then, you can drag your new video clip on top of your old clip and a popup menu should appear. Choose REPLACE.

How to make curved arrows from circle?

Hi, I want to make four curved arrows that lead into each other. Ideally, arrow head would just be a > shape at the end of the line that is the same width as the line (i.e., as if a straight line was cut at the end, so no tips or gaps.) I have drawn a circle with the ellipse tool, but I can't figure out how to cut it properly. An AI file that sort of shows what I mean is at https://www.onlinefilefolder.com/2swDvNSyBkcsXd
Thanks in advance for any help!

Like Jacob described for:
Point 3: That is how I managed to get my 8 segments. Basically, if you centered you cursor in the middle of the circle and set the rotation of the arrows (in my instance 40 degrees) - Command D and then it duplicates the arrows all around the circle accurately.
You are welcome, Neil, and no need to apologize.
You may have a look at the link by Jeanette in post #4; it shows end results.
Here are the instructions in the first post with an extension of 3):
1) Create the circle with the desired width in the form of Stroke Weight;
2) Create a V shaped path with two segments on top of the circle where the first gap is to be, lengthwise extending outside the circle stroke, and with a Stroke Weight corresponding to the gap;
3) Copy and place so you have all V shapes where you want the gaps; you may do that by rotating copies round the centre of the circle 1), this may be done in different ways, one being to create an auxliary concentric circle extending past the V shape and rotating copies of that and the V shape using the Object>Transform>Rotate and inserting the desired value(s), then deleting the auxiliary circles;
4) Select all and Object>Path>Outline Stroke;
5) Pathfinder>Minus front (Subtract from shape ares in older versions, maybe pressing Alt/Option to expand).

How can I get back to my Keynote presentation once I've linked to a website?

I've created a Keynote presentation. On one slide, I have a link to a relevant Vimeo video on the web. It gets there seamlesly. However, when the 4 minute video is done playing, I can't return to my presentation. If I "x" out of Safari, my Keynote is gone. I've tried hitting esc but that doesn't work either.
Thanks for your help.

Use application switcher to display Keynote ; (command tab) press the command key then tap the tab key then release.

How to make curved arrows (arcs) with known angles

I need to be able to make many curved arrows with known angles. Meaning, I need the arrows line/tail to start at a certain point and the arrow head to end at another, but angled to 45, 60, and 90 degress from the start point. Similar to this:
As you can see, the arrows all point "out of the arc" at the same angle. Is there a set the angle of the arrow heads?

Howdy.
If you turn your arrow into an art brush, then apply it to the different paths, the arrowhead will follow the path.
The top arrow is one I grabbed from Illy's Arrow Brush Library. It is applied to two different paths that end pointing different directions. Note the arrowhead turns to follow the path.
This might work for you. And it's a snap to apply the brush to any open path.
Illy will render the brush as you draw the path or you can apply it later.
FWIW.
Peace,
Lee

Can i embed a weather into keynote

I am trying to producing a looping presentation for a waiting room. I was hoping to embed local weather and news into it, but I cannot find a way to do so. Is it possible with Keynote?
Thank you,
vonmoot

Unfortunately, the current version of Keynote has removed the ability to embed URLs and provide updated views of web pages. This was possible in earlier versions of Keynote.
However, if you know of someone with Keynote '08 installed, there is a way to make a Keynote presentation with an embedded and updateable URL that you can save (in Keynote '08) and copy to make a working Keynote presentation with embedded URLs in Keynote '09
With Keynote '08 create a Keynote Presentation with one slide. On that slide place an object and with the object selected > Inspector > Hyperlink > Enable as a Hyperlink (checked) > Link to: Webpage > URL : (paste the URL you want) > Update Automatically (checked) > Click Update Now. Save with Keynote '08.
(Your web page will appear - REMEMBER: This only works with Keynote '08 or earlier versions)
When you SAVE your presentation, give it a name that reminds you not to save it again and make copies of this presentation to make your Keynote presentation using Keynote '09 - Do NOT delete the object with the URL, just change the URL in the Inspector.
This does work, but if you overwrite the original by saving again with the same name, you will have to create a new "Master" from scratch as Keynote '09 will overwrite the inspector page for Hyperlinks to the new version. IF everything worked right, the object with the URL will have a slightly different looking Hyperlink Inspector (see attached).
If you'd like to see this feature return to Keynote, let the good folks at Apple know

Good Luck

What tool can i use to create an animation for iPad

What tool can i use to create an animation the will run in I.E., Firefox and iPad. I want to have a series of large buttons that i can scroll using arrows on the left and right side of the large buttons, with each button being a hot spot. I can't use Flash because it is not supported on the iPad.
Thanks,
Steve

I've been playing with both Edge and Hype, and I found that stuff I create in Hype actually works in IE 8, but stuff I create in Edge does not. I'm not sure what the difference is, other than perhaps Hype automatically writes some legacy scripts so that things will work in IE. Hype's not perfect, but it's doing the job for what I needed it to do, where Edge was no help at all (working in IE I mean).
I think Edge is a much better tool - more robust, greater feature set, but Hype seems a bit more forgiving and seems to play nicer with crappy browsers like IE.

Can i do a presentation with Keynote for IOS on my flatscreen in FullHD?

Hi,
would like to make a presentation with an ipad retina on my fullHD-TV over appleTV. I know that ipad2 maximum resolution is 1024*768 and it can not send a higher resoltution to appleTV. But ipad retina can show 2.048x1.536 wich is more than fullHD 1920x1080. AppleTV also supports 1080p-resolution. So here is the qustion:
Can i create a keynote-presentation with 1920x1080 on an ipad retina and send it to an appleTV ?

I can confirm that iPad 4 does not solve this problem, at least not using the Lightning AV adapter with HDMI.
I'm using both the iPad 2 and the iPad 4 as a test, outputting a 1920x1080 Keynote presentation to two different plasma monitors. Both seem to be displaying at 1024x768 or at least not full-screen.
Both, however, will play back video shot in the iPads at 1920x1080 full screen.
This is, I believe, a Keynote app issue.

You can select 5 (or more images) and place them by dragging in Adobe InDesign. After creating document go to File > Place, navigate to images and select them. In InDesign start dragging and press right arrow key couple of times then release mouse button. You can export file as PDF, JPG, PNG image from File > Export.

Can I import web content to keynote

Can I import web content to keynote? I want to use existing content including colours, fonts, pictures etc. Eventally I will probably also go generate webpage from keynot, but thant is another question!
best regards, Iain

ilovetrainskc:
Yes you can do that. You can either merge the two Domain.sites files into one with iWebSites or use them independently by renaming one of the to SiteName.sites and then use iWebSites to open them independently and publish independently.
I use iWebSites to manage multiple sites.. It lets me create multiple sites and multiple domain files.
If you have multiple sites in one domain file here's the workflow I used to split them into individual site files with iWebSites. Be sure to make a backup copy of your original Domain.sites files before starting the splitting process.
This lets me edit several sites and only republish the one I want.
Do you Twango?

Help with linking to Flash/HTML created by Keynote

Not sure if this has been asked before.
I have created a website using iweb www.compliancetoday.co.uk
I have now created a keynote presentation which I have exported to Flash. This created a swf and a html file. Of course the swf looks lousy on its own but the html linking to it looks great on my desktop (both files are in a folder). My problem is this.
I am trying to create a page in my iweb site that will have a hyperlink which will load the swf for viewing. I have tried doing it in iweb but the hyperlink doesn't work - meaning that it keeps unticking the make hyperlink active button. (I have been publishing to local folder to make sure it works first).
Any help would be appreciated.

Export to SWF has been dropped in the latest version of Keynote. I guess one of the reasons was that the 3D transitions would not translate to flash.
My two work arounds can be seen here.....
