Creating themes in Keynote 4.0.4

Hi,
I'm going to give a presentation and so I need to create my own Keynote theme.
I created one and saved it as a theme, but as I open it, I've got a white background all the time.
What am I doing wrong?
Or what's wrong with my Mac or with Keynote?
Thanks

What version of the OS are you running? Also, in some cases, running the same presentation on two different computers will yield a change in carefully timed presentations. This is because audio and video aren't "locked" and will drift depending on the speed of the computer/OS. Because there were some changes made to how Keynote handles movies, this MIGHT have an effect on some of your timings there, but I don't think this would cause the widespread mislinking you're seeing.

If you're displaying on a Mac running fairly recent OS, anyone can download and install the iWork Trial. While it will eventually time out, this trial version can still run Keynote presentations just like the full version can. You just can't save any changes to the presentation.

How do I install new themes for keynote purchased throught the app store?

I have downloaded some Keynote themes fron a site but I have no way (that I can see) to install them. I've done extensive googling and I always find instructions that say that I have to add the downloaded themes (.kth files) into the ~/Library/Application Support/Keynote/Themes folder. However, I have no such directory.
I purchased Keynote via the App Store. Could this be the reason why I don't have this directory on my hard disk? How does one install new themes then?
Thank you.
While I am at it and since there must be a lot of Keynote experts around, I'll ask another question about a problem that is driving me crazy. I'm one of those thousands of new converts and I have a lot of old PowerPoint files that took me a lot of time to create. I'm trying to import them into Keynote but some of them are giving me trouble. The problem comes when I try to change the theme (I just want to change the background). When I have complex slides involving many objects, if I change the theme all these objects abandon their original positions and everything becomes garbled. I think this has to do with the aspect ratio of the slides but I haven't found any way of fixing it. No matter what size I choose in the Theme Chooser, the result is the same.
I would really appreciate any help you people can offer with any of these problems. Thanks in advance.

OK, I'll answer myself since I found an answer to my first question. It was right here in the forums. I'll post a link to it in case someone reads this thread looking for an answer:

Now, if I could just find an answer for my second question...

No thumbnails in Theme Chooser for my created themes?

I just upgraded to a new MBPro with Snow Leopard. I moved my Keynote themes from the old PowerBook (running Tiger) to the new laptop, and they all seem to work... except that in the Theme Chooser, where I had been seeing thumbnail previews of my user-created themes, only their names appear. Original Keynote themes and third-party commercial themes appear normally.
It's not a HUGE deal, since I can still select my themes by name, but I'd like to understand the cause if I can, and perhaps do something about it...
Any ideas?
Charlie

Yes, I tried all of that. I had to delete everything but my Aperture libraries and re-install to get it to work. I think it was something wrong with something in the Application Support folder for Aperture. Whatever it was it works now. The first time I re-installed I left the Application Support folder for Aperture alone it still had the problem. There are some .plist files there and undoubtedly something was amiss.

Kuler Themes in Keynote?

Is there a way to import Kuler color themes into keynote for use in a presentation in Keynote 09. I am able to import entire Photoshop documents as backgrounds, but I wonder if there is a way to use Kuler colors with the Keynote Type Tool. There does not seem to be a way to set colors beyond selecting one of the crayons or eyeballing a color from a spectrum.

Keynote does not use Kuler themes, its an Adobe thing only.
If you want to design using Kuler themes, create your graphic in an Adobe application and use a Kuler theme, save the file as a Keynote compatible file and import it onto a Keynote slide.
There does not seem to be a way to set colors beyond selecting one of the crayons or eyeballing a color from a spectrum.
Keynote can produce what the graphics card can deliver; in excess of 16 million colors using the Mac colour palette. You can set a colour by eye or enter a specific RGB value.

Getting back old themes in Keynote 13

I upgraded to the new Keynote, and while I like some of the new Apple themes, I'm missing a few that they decided to get rid of. Specifcally, I used the "Imagine" and "Story" themes all the time (I teach), and now they're gone??
Is there any way to get them back?
I use keynote every single day, and I think this might be one of the biggest Apple changes I've ever had to get used to (and I've been using Macs for 20+ years)!

If you upgraded from iWork '09, you should still have a copy of Keynote 5.x in your Applications folder. It is probably in an iWork '09 folder now. Anyways, if you still have it then you should be able to create documents using those two themes. Once you do that, you can then open them in Keynote 6 and go to "Save Theme…" in the File menu. Then you will be asked if you want add it to your theme chooser. After adding it, you will now see a My Themes tab in the theme chooser in Keynote 6. Hope that helps.

Cannot create template in Keynote

Hello all!
I've created a theme in Keynote and under 'File' I've selected 'Save Theme...'. So far, this process has been pretty simple and easy.
The issue comes in when I open the template. In the 'Theme Chooser' my theme is listed at the very bottom with a preview of it. When I select it, I get a blank slide with a couple of placeholders. Any idea what could be going on here?
Thanks,
David

You need to create new master slides for a custom theme and apply those to the slide you are working on
view > show master slides
right click in the navigator panel and choose > new master slide
add the content you need
file > save theme

How can I remove some themes from Keynote??

What a co-incidence... I just deleted those same goodies. They were in /Library/Application Support/Keynote-folder on my machine. I just deleted the whole folder, cause there seemed to be nothing more but those downloaded files. And Keynote worked great afterwards. There seemed to be another folder for iWork09, which is not to be removed.

Hi Srinivasa,
I guess, you didn't completed the initial setup schemaprep and adprep before starting the installation. You can do it as follows:
1. Open command Prompt as administrator and browse to the root of installation cd and run Setup.exe /PrepareSchema /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms
After finishing this,
2. Setup.exe /PrepareAD /OrganizationName:"<organization name>" /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms
3. To prepare all domains within the forest run Setup.exe /PrepareAllDomains /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms. If you want to prepare a specific domain run Setup.exe /PrepareDomain:<FQDN of the domain you want to prepare> /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms
4. Once you complete all of the 3 steps, install the pre-requisities for Exchange 2013
5. Finally, run the setup program
Hope this will help you

Created theme is not working...Please help

Hello sirs,
I have configured a portal application to PCD, created iViews, pages, assigned it to a workset and workset to a role. I have also created a theme, Desktop page and rules for the created role (In System Administration->Desktops and Display rules). But when i tried to login in to the portal using the the created user, i am getting the desktop page with default theme.
i.e,My page is not loading with the newly created theme. Can you please point out what could be the possible error?
Best regards,
Sudheesh

Hello David,
Thankyou very much for your help. I tried the way you have explained and created a new IF expression by adding "IF Role = created role" then PORTAL DESKTOP = created desktop".
But still I am getting the default desktop. When i tried to access the Master Rule again for editing, I am getting a messsage as " Object is locked by user: admin. You cannot edit it.". Here i have logged in as admin..
Can you please tell me what went wrong here?
Best regards,
Sudheesh
