Constant autosave error in new keynote (6.0)

I just started using 6.0 after upgrading to Mavericks, with a new presentation.
Every few minutes, an alert pops up to say that the document "...could not be autosaved. The file has been changed by another application. Click Save Anyway to keep your changes and save the changes made by the other application as a version, or click Revert to keep the changes from the other application and save your changes as a version."
I haven't opened Keynote on any other machines or devices, or made any changes elsewhere. I did originally check the 'documents' box on iCloud's setup preferences, so it could sync across devices. Thinking this might be the culprit, I have unchecked it - but the error keeps coming.
This must be an embarassingly obvious cloud/keynote newbie error. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I found a solution that seems to have worked for me, from another post in the community:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/22703496#22703496
Basically, the culprit was in Fontbook: a bunch of duplicate and/or corrupted fonts. The fix involved opening fontbook, selecting all, validating and deleting miscreants - and then emptying the trash and rebooting for good luck.
I don't understand why the problem would be described as another app making changes (unless it was fontbook working in the background). But I haven't had another alert (yet) in Keynote. I have no idea whether the same issue would apply to other iWork apps, but it might be worth a try. So might shaking some chicken bones and chanting.

  • General Autosave Error, yikes

    I'm getting a "general autosave error" and hope someone out there can help sort this out for me since I have hours and hours to capture this weekend, but don't want to keep going with that message coming up.
    I am working in FCP 5.1.4, capturing to an external G-tech firewire hard drive. I had one drive, about half full, onto which I captured a lot of clips. Brought that drive up to my editor, and purchased a second drive so that I can continue logging and capturing while the editor starts cutting.
    I initialized drive #2, verified disk permissions,set one partition etc. ~ it is securely attached to a FW 800 card that I purchased for my G4 Powerbook, with a Sony DSR-20 deck capturing footage and attached to the original FW 400 port on the computer.
    When I opened FCP I reset the capture scratch disk for this second HD, changing the name from GTECHb to something different after reading it's good to not have a name that contains the name of another drive (the first being, obviously, GTECHa). Set all to the new drive, except autosave vault, which I set to my internal HD, same pathway as before.
    Within a folder called FCP files, I have the autosave folder, and for some reason an additional "autosave vault" folder was created within that one ~ into which all my previous project files versions can be found. I have tried setting both the first autosave folder and then it's "sub-folder" as a directory for the autosave vault, but in both cases continue to get this error message.
    Wondering if the general autosave error might be due to all the previously captured clips now being offline, or if there is some other problemo. When I open a project after a day or so, FCP gives it a long name with the date and time the project was last modified ~ occasionally I change that name using "save project as..." and am now wondering do I need to make sure that the file name has .fcp on the tail end of it? Searching for possibilities here...
    I have saved the projects (one is for 24p footage, one is for 24p advanced footage, different capture settings and all that jazz) and rechecked the system settings, but I'm baffled and frankly a little freaked out.
    Is this one of those cases of "trash your preferences" -- if so I'm hoping this does not trash my project files --
    anyone?
    thanks in advance
    15" Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8) 1 GHz, 1 GB SDRAM, 60 GB HD

    also when i set my folder:
    Users > Me > Final Cut Pro Projects folder >
    which has:
    Autosave Vault
    Custom Settings
    Master Projects
    FCP manual.pdf
    and an XML file
    within that Autosave Vault folder, there are two old saved copies of the project (?) then another sub-folder also called AUTOSAVE VAULT
    When I click on THAT there are tons of versions of my two projects from different dates (one 24p footage, one 24p advanced footage, same documentary but haven't converted 24p footage yet to 23.98)
    ...and yet another AUTOSAVE VAULT folder
    when i click on that, there is...yup, another AUTOSAVE VAULT folder.
    seems it just keeps generating these folders within folders.
    ...did FCP rescue and so far am not getting the general autosave error - hurrah!
    - but all these autosave vault folders (I only directed it toward the FIRST one)...just insane. However, I will know which saves were done on the new FW drive since they are embedded within the embedded (um, within the embedded) folder.
    I should go to bed and start again tomorrow.
    oy.
    will mark your posts as helpful - thank you

  • In the new Keynote how does one find the Wrap Inspector to wrap text around a photo??? Thanks

    In the new keynote, the help section refers to the Wrap Inspector.  How does one find that or how does one wrap text around a photo??   Thanks

    You can also use the shape tool to draw a shape roughly following the outline of the graphic you want to wrap text around, change the fill and stroke to "none", then paste your text within the shape. It's a few more steps, but it opens you up to many creative alternative layouts.

  • Video clips doesn't work in new keynote

    I recently upgraded keynote after installing os x maverick.
    When I opened my previous keynote presentation, the new keynote asked to upgrade the movie quality.
    And you have to click this option, otherwise the video clips will only come out as pictures.
    But now, some of the video clips doesn't work.  The thing is, I do not have the original video files as these are presentations given to me by others.
    What's next for me?

    Having the same problem, would greatlyu appreciate a fix. does it matter if one upgrades to the iOS or Mac Keynote options?

    Keynote 6 is compatible with Mavericks only, your profile states you are using Snow Leopard, if thats the case use Keynote version 5 and all will work as before.

  • How to get rid of "ORA-22881: dangling REF" error on :new.OBJECT_VALUE?

    Hi,
    I'm having trouble with a "ORA-22881: dangling REF" error against :new.OBJECT_VALUE when a trigger executes.
    Here is the initial trigger:
    create or replace TRIGGER "CSHEET_UPDATE"
    BEFORE UPDATE ON "CSHEET" FOR EACH ROW
    BEGIN
    SELECT
    updateXML(
    :new.OBJECT_VALUE,
    '/Csheet/METADATA/MODIFIED_DATE/text()', to_char(SYSDATE, 'YYYY-MM-DD') || 'T' || to_char(SYSDATE, 'HH:MI:SS')
    INTO :new.OBJECT_VALUE FROM dual;
    END;
    And this is the error I get with even a simple UPDATE:
    BEGIN
    UPDATE CSHEET SET OBJECT_VALUE = OBJECT_VALUE WHERE rownum = 1;
    COMMIT;
    END;
    Error report:
    ORA-22881: dangling REF
    ORA-06512: at "LNC.CSHEET_UPDATE", line 5
    ORA-04088: error during execution of trigger 'LNC.CSHEET_UPDATE'
    ORA-06512: at line 2
    22881. 00000 - "dangling REF"
    *Cause:    The object corresponding to the REF that was accessed does not
    exist.
    *Action:   Ensure that the REF value is pointing to an existing object.
    However, if I add a schemavalidate() call at the beginning of the trigger then the error disappears.
    New trigger:
    create or replace TRIGGER "CSHEET_UPDATE"
    BEFORE UPDATE ON "CSHEET" FOR EACH ROW
    BEGIN
    :new.OBJECT_VALUE.schemavalidate();
    SELECT
    updateXML(
    :new.OBJECT_VALUE,
    '/Csheet/METADATA/MODIFIED_DATE/text()', to_char(SYSDATE, 'YYYY-MM-DD') || 'T' || to_char(SYSDATE, 'HH:MI:SS')
    INTO :new.OBJECT_VALUE FROM dual;
    END;
    Is there another way, besides using ":new.OBJECT_VALUE.schemavalidate();", to correct the :new.OBJECT_VALUE dangling REF issue?
    Thanks

    Hi Marco,
    This is my version info:
    Oracle Database 11g Release 11.1.0.6.0 - Production
    PL/SQL Release 11.1.0.6.0 - Production
    CORE 11.1.0.6.0 Production
    TNS for 32-bit Windows: Version 11.1.0.6.0 - Production
    NLSRTL Version 11.1.0.6.0 - Production
    CSHEET is indeed object relational storage.
    BEGIN
    DBMS_XMLSCHEMA.REGISTERSCHEMA(
    schemaurl => 'CSheet.xsd',
    schemadoc => sys.UriFactory.getUri('/public/Schemas/CSheet.xsd'),
    local => TRUE,
    gentypes => TRUE,
    genbean => FALSE,
    gentables => TRUE,
    force => FALSE,
    owner => 'LNC',
    enablehierarchy => DBMS_XMLSCHEMA.ENABLE_HIERARCHY_NONE
    END;
    The only "unusual" aspect of it is that it does some out-of-line storage, has a primary key assigned internally, and specifies a couple of unique restrictions:
    Snippets from the schema:
    <xs:element name="Csheet" xdb:defaultTable="CSHEET" xdb:columnProps="CONSTRAINT CSHEET_pkey PRIMARY KEY (XMLDATA.UCN)">
    <xs:element name="LEGISLATION" maxOccurs="unbounded" xdb:SQLInline="false" xdb:defaultTable="CSHEET_LEGISLATION">
    <xs:complexType>
    <xs:sequence>
    <xs:choice>
    <xs:sequence>
    <xs:element name="NAME" type="reasonable_data_T"/>
    <xs:element name="CITATION" minOccurs="0" type="CITATION_T"/>
    </xs:sequence>
    <xs:element name="CITATION" type="CITATION_T"/>
    </xs:choice>
    <xs:element name="REFERENCES">
    <xs:complexType>
    <xs:sequence>
    <xs:element name="REFERENCE" maxOccurs="unbounded" xdb:SQLInline="false" xdb:defaultTable="CSHEET_REFERENCES">
    <xs:complexType>
    <xs:sequence>
    <xs:unique name="unique_pinpoints">
    <xs:selector xpath="REFERENCE"/>
    <xs:field xpath="PINPOINT"/>
    </xs:unique>
    <xs:unique name="unique_legislation">
    <xs:selector xpath="LEGISLATION"/>
    <xs:field xpath="CITATION"/>
    </xs:unique>
    And I rename and scope the REF tables:
    DECLARE
    gen_name VARCHAR2 (4000);
    BEGIN
    SELECT TABLE_NAME INTO gen_name FROM USER_NESTED_TABLES
    WHERE PARENT_TABLE_NAME = 'CSHEET';
    EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'RENAME "' || gen_name || '"TO CSHEET_LEG_V';
    SELECT TABLE_NAME INTO gen_name FROM USER_NESTED_TABLES
    WHERE PARENT_TABLE_NAME = 'CSHEET_LEGISLATION';
    EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'RENAME "' || gen_name || '"TO CSHEET_REF_V';
    END;
    ALTER TABLE CSHEET_LEG_V ADD SCOPE FOR (COLUMN_VALUE) IS CSHEET_LEGISLATION;
    ALTER TABLE CSHEET_REF_V ADD SCOPE FOR (COLUMN_VALUE) IS CSHEET_REFERENCES;
    Nothing really non-standard and everything works just fine...except I HAVE to schemavalidate() to undangle my REF :( .
    I don't even understand where the REF is coming from since it was my understanding that OBJECT_VALUE was considered an XMLType. Could it have something to do with the out-of-line tables?
    Thanks

  • Oops...adopted new Keynote and...

    a bunch of things don't work anymore. I use Polleverywhere quite frequently, inserting Polls into the notes section of my Keynote presentations. Instantly popped up without having to leave my Keynote document. Apparently, not any more. I can export my Keynote to Powerpoint and Polleverywhere works fine. But not with the new Keynote. Of course, to ensure that my old Keynote version was not making the new one not work, I deleted my old Keynote version. Reinstalling it from disk just results in crashes. My goose is cooked.

    and worse...OS 10.9 didn't detect my disk installed version of iWorks so I forked out $60+ for the new versions of Keynote, Pages, and Numbers.

  • Can't open new keynote presentation

    I just created a new keynote presentation and have the most recent updates on keynote. But I receive a notice that I "need a newer version of keynote to open this document."
    What's the problem?

    You have two versions of Keynote; the previous version 5 (which lives in Applications > iWork 09) and the new version 6 which lives in Applications.
    You get the "you need a newer version to open" message when a file created in 6 is being opened by 5.
    if you right click a version 5 file and select Get Info, in the Open with section select Keynote 5,
    then click change all.
    Perform a similar exercise on a version 6 file but select open with Keynote 6.
