Corrupted files with Keynote 08

Hi,
I will try to be as clear as possible because the problem I have is potentially dangerous for any Keynote user. I have been a Keynote user for many years now and I use it systematically to make conferences and conventions. It's really fun to work with that software. But a problem has recently occured with the latest version.
Like many independant workers, I use to work at my office and later at home. So I backup my files on a portable HD to finish them later. I use a backup program that saves that perfectly
Many days ago, I wanted to reopen a keynote file at home when I realized that there was something wrong. When the file opened, it showed me the state of the file BEFORE the backup. First I thought I had forgotten to do the backup. But when I got back on the Finder, I saw that Quick Look showed me the most recent version of the file. More, with a right click on the file I opened the package and I saw all the images embeded in my keynote presentation. So I returned to Keynote and noticed somrthing really weird : the thumbnails show the right of the slides, but the slides themselves are wrong. I had no choice but to make the slides again and finally thought I had done something wrong. But the same thing occured today. And I am sure the backup has been done correctly.
I have tried to save the document as another name to see what happens. When I do so the file is saved without the embeded images that were previously in the package. To resume, if your right file weighed 80 Mo with 50 Mo of images, when you save your corrupted file, it only weighs 30 Mo.
There has been problems with Keynote in the past. Some images were "lost" after a backup but were present in the package. But this is REALLY a problem because you simply lose your work.
i f any of you has an answer I would appreciate. And I hope I made myself clear, because even in French, it would have been hard to explain correctly.

I have today encountered a problem opening old Keynote presentations on my new iMac running Leopard. It cannot open any of the old presentations on my machine because it says they are damaged.
I also could not open an old Pages file because it says the file is corrupt and there was a .xml missing. I later managed to open this by searching for it directly through the application "Open" command and following the search path. It then gave the usual " This was created by a previous version of Pages..." and the Save as warning, but it did open when I went this route. (I have now saved this document as Pages 08 and all is well).
There seems to be a bug in the iWork '08 suite when it comes to older documents.

How to repear a corrupt file with Numbers

How to open a "corrupt" file with Numbers.
With excel it is possible to open such a file with the following error message :
"The file you are trying to open, 'filename.xls', is in a different format than specified by the file extension. Verify that the file is not corrupted and is from a trusted source before opening the file. Do you want to open the file now?"
Clicking YES, the file is opening correctly with XLS.
How to do the same with Numbers?
When i try to open the same file with numbers i have no "error message" but the information contained in the file is not readable.
Many thanks for your help

Yeah that's true to an extant; microsoft did a good job fixing that but unfortunately allowed it to be re-introduced in 2006 with windows vista where they allowed file naming to receive destructive values (wasn't very fond of this);
in previous versions of windows such values once entered would be followed by an error message telling you those values couldn't be used
I wasn't aware it would pop its ugly head back up into windows 7 but I see otherwise as in the case of mine
(I forgot to mention the period preceded a parenthesis which in turn can be destructive to the file's original format)
Anyway photoshop wont open the file after changing it to .psd leaving an error message stating....
'Could not complete your request because the file is not compatible with this version of photoshop'

Is it possible to open eps files with Keynote?

I have some eps Clipart files that I have been trying to edit so I can use the individual clipart images instead of having to crop a jpef or tiff copy of the original file.
However, I can't seem to open the eps version of the file in any of the applications I have, which makes the files almost impossible to use...
Is there any way of actually opening the eps files with Keynote, or does anyone know of a program or app that I can open these with?
Thanks!

There are a number of compatibility reasons why Keynote will not open eps files
I use Illustrator to open, then save as a different file any eps files which Keynote wont open directly.

Opening and editing ppt files with keynote ios

Just email them to yourself.
Of course you can also use dropbox or any other file transfer system which has ipad support.

Finding embedded word files when opening a powerpoint file with Keynote

I can't!
I have tried control clicking on the file and there is nothing. In the presentation there are icons that are meant to open word files but when I click them it just takes me to the next slide. I have been through all the menus and I am stuck.
I know that the files open for people using powerpoint but I suspect I am the only Mac user in the group of teachers using the files.

Welcome to the discussion boards, k1r5tymm.
Unfortunately, Keynote will not open Word files from within a presentation -- see this discussion about the issue, and possible workarounds. Your best bet is to follow Kyn's suggestion in that thread, and open the documents before you start the presentation, then use Command-Tab during the presentation to change between KN and Word. Or, if you have all the documents open, you could also use Expose's Show All Windows (the F9 key), which would allow you to select the document you want very quickly, and looks slick besides.

Opening a Keynote 3 file with Keynote 2

I have a keynote 3 presentation i need urgent access too but i only have Keynote 2 on my mini as my macbook has had to be sent back several times (it had Keynote 3 on).
Is there any way of accessing this file?

Unfortunately, no. Keynote 2 does not recognize Keynote 3's file structure. There IS a way to tell Keynote 3 to save as Keynote 2 compatible files, but, since you don't have your Mac, you won't be able to do this.

Photoshop CC - corrupted file with red stripes

hello everyone
i've been recently working on a building section for my course. i have nearly finished it, simply wanted to copy some layers to the next file. i noticed that every time i selected the content, I pasted white fill only which was in a shape of the content. it was so weird. i have tried once again with a different layer but it was the same case. when i saved the file and opened it up again, i got two red stripes - one on the left side and one at the bottom. what's more, i can't right-click on the layers - simply doesn't respond. does anyone have any idea what's the reason behind such behaviour ? i'd appreciate any response

That looks like MacOS 10.10 - so you are most likely hitting some of the known video driver bugs in MacOS 10.10.
Disabling GPU drawing in Photoshop's preferences, then restarting Photoshop should help.
Apple is aware of the video driver bugs in MacOS 10.10 and working on solutions.

Corrupted file with new Pages

I have used Pages for about 3 years and found it to be a good editor for documents. I have recently upgraded to Mavericks which brings a new version of Pages. I have the latest level of pages and OS installed. When I opened a pages document, it asked to move to the new format which I agreed to. I spent 4 hours updating the file saving regularly. When I quit out and tried to reopen the file I get this error message:
"You need a newer version of Pages to open this document"
Clicking OK exits the application. The Learn More button takes me to the marketing page that explains how wonderful Pages is.
Now I am stuck. I have the latest version. And because it updated the original file in place, I have even lost the original file.
What do I do next?
Many thanks
Mandy

Apple has removed over 90 features from Pages 5.

Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
Archive/trash Pages 5 and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

I have songs on iTunes that seem to have corrupted files with time. The songs play for a while then suddenly stop mid-song and iTunes goes to the next song. On my iPod the playback pauses for a few seconds then picks up again.

Some of these songs were purchased via iTunes. I would like to download them again but the Download buttons are grayed out when I bring up the purchased songs listing. Any help appreciated. Is there any way to quickly get a file integrity check done?

Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting those incomplete tracks from your iTunes library and redownload them (if they are still in your country's store) via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes. Or delete them and copy them back (File > Add To Library) from your backup of your downloads/library.

Help with fixing my iTunes - Corrupt File

I need help trying to correct the problem with my iTunes. I just installed the new iTunes update, iTunes 6.0.1, and now my iTunes isn't working properly. Everytime I open my iTunes, my library is gone. Luckily I saved my library before, but I don't want to keep reloading it over and over again when I open iTunes.
I keep getting a message saying, "iTunes.exe - Corrupt File" with a message saying "The file or directory C:\Documents and Settings\Username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\Itunes Library.itl is corrupt and unreadable. Please run the Chkdsk utility"
I tried to repair iTunes, reinstalling it over and over again, and running the Chkdsk utility, but nothing works.
I am stumped and don't know what to do now.

hi Nick!
"iTunes.exe - Corrupt File" with a message saying "The file or directory C:\Documents and Settings\Username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\Itunes Library.itl is corrupt and unreadable. Please run the Chkdsk utility"
good lord ... okay, if it's not a hard drive problem, let's try downloading some fresh definitions and doing vigorous spyware and virus scans.
does that show up anything?

AOL mail doesn't send .doc-files with Firefox

When using Firefox AOL Mail doesn't send .doc-files. Instead a corrupted file with a different size is sent. Any other file type works aswell as sending .doc-files with other browsers works...

I'm getting a similar problem. Snow Leopard Mail for me seems to be choking on large attachments - sending them, forwarding them, or even moving them from one IMAP folder to another.
My mails are getting through, but it takes a long time and they are dragging the whole system to a crawl in the process.

Replace corrupted files

I have some images that are corrupt, they are also corrupted on the vault as well.
I was able to retrieve good RAWS via my Time Machine backup in an old project.
What is the best way of replacing the corrupt files with the good backup copies while PRESERVING my adjustments and ratings?
If I go into the individual packages and try and replace the RAW file one at a time, the OS tells me the file is busy and can't be replaced.
There are probably a few hundred if not a thousand.

Michael
you mention packages so I am guessing that you have opened the library, show package contents, etc.
I just went through the process to test it
I quit aperture
showed package contents of the library
showed package contents of the project
then one image at a time in each "file/folder" deleted and replace the file
Aperture when launched just ran without any questions and showed the files correctly.
for me both the following methods worked;
delete and then drag in the replacement method and
the drag and click on the dialogue box asking do I want to replace the file
As far as I can gather you will need to do one file at a time.

Major problems using Keynote 09 with Keynote 08 files

Keynote 09 seems to have been let out into the wild a bit too early. I have encountered several major problems when using it on older KN08 files. From the Scroll bar in outline view, to almost every movie or sound file being corrupted and requiring a "reinsert," to an annoyingly common problem with images losing their formatting. It seems that the new file format in KN09 does not play well with KN08 (this was not the case with any of the previous version upgrades).
I have contacted Apple and shared these problems with them. I have removed KN09 from all my machines and have reverted back to KN08. Hopefully a future patch will correct this file corruption problem

Your presentations sound like they are much more involved and memory intensive than mine. I only have a couple with movies/sound and those are quite short. So far (knock on wood) I've not had any of your problems. However, as a matter of course I always create a backup file before starting to edit an old important file with a new program. Keep us posted.

Macbook Air 11" i7 corrupt files problem with Adobe Illustrator CS4

Hi
this problem may not be entirely related but maybe someone could help anyways or knows how I can proceed...
I'm running Illustrator CS4 on a Macbook Air 11" (latest 2011 model, with i7, 4GB, 128SSD), and lately some files are getting corrupted. specifically, adobe illusrator CS4 files with weeks of work. interestingly, the time machine backups are also getting corrupted.
its like I'm working on a file for a few days, backing up with time machine as well
closes the file, after a few days returns to it… (normal behavior)
then when i try to get back to the file then sometimes it says "Cant open the illustration, could not complete the operation" and opens a blank canvas.
restoring the file via time machine also gives the same error (its like all versions get corrupted simultaneously), even 4-5 versions backwards, even though they worked before when the file worked
it happened quite a few times, ruining weeks of work.
I tried the following:
reinstalling CS4 - didn't work
Opening the files on CS5 - still don't open
doing the file recovery thing and then opening it in a notepad - didn't work at all
using Time machine - the files are still corrupt
it only happenes with AI files, not photoshop files, for example.
I thought maybe it has anything to do with SSD? since my previous macbook pro (15", 2007) never did these errors…
please help
Eido

If at all, this would be I/O performance and bandwidth issues with Time Machine, but I don't think that's the problem. More to the point I think that it's a case of Preview opening the files to genereate thumbnails and icons and something going wrong there. I'd look up some guides on how to edit the relevant plist and conf files to exclude your AIs or turn off the behavior to generate these previews globally. This may help hugely...
