Unable to locate custom themes in Keynote '09

I created some custom themes that I want to delete. I have been unable to locate them on my hard drive. The directions in the Keynote '09 User Guide don't point me to the right place. I found the stock themes in Applications> iWork'09> Keynote.app> Contents> Resources> Themes, but my custom themes aren't in there. I've done a global search for the file names and for .kth files, but they don't show up. Can anyone help me locate/delete these themes (that are outdated and cluttering up my themes menu)?
Thanks!

Thanks, Kelly! I had actually just figured it out when I started to save a new template and looked backwards up the file tree. It's all under my user ID rather than the basic "Library" folder. So thanks so much!

Custom Theme crashes Keynote

Hello,
I'm creating a new theme. It's very simple. I start with the "White" theme, delete all the master slides except the blank one, then modify the background to be a color gradient. Then I go to File > Save Theme and give it a name.
If I now open a keynote document, choose a slide and select my new theme as the theme for that slide, I get the message "An unexpected error has occurred. Please Quit and reopen Keynote." Does anyone know what the problem might be?

I am getting the same message when I try to increase the font size in a text box on a Keynote slide. It happened several times and then all the images in my keynote 09 slides disappeared. At that point I purchased a new copy of Keynote from the Apple store and that solved the problem till now- the process is beginning again..... can anyone help?

Deleting non-standard themes from Keynote

HELP: How do I delete a former employer's theme from my Keynote library. I was obliged to install and use it as all business presentations had to be prepared using the house style. Many thanks

Tried that but it's not there. I bought some Keynote Pro themes which are there though so your advice was absolutely correct, but is there anywhere else I can look? Thanks

Keynote Custom Theme Background

I have created my own custom theme in Keynote on my iMac, it works fine and has a white background, so previews fine.
However when I save it to Keynote on my iPad and view it, the white areas on the background go transparent and I just see the standard grey background, plus the colours have all changes.
Why does it do this?
Can I change the background on my iPad Keynote to white?
The image I imported as a background on my iMac Keynote has a white background already so why doesnt this show up on iPad keynote.
If anyone can offer any pointers, I'd be really grateful.

Others may correct me, but my understanding is that Keynote masters can only have one title text box, and one body text box. Any other text placed on the master will appear as that literal text, and not as a text container.

Keynote - Changing chart textures in a custom theme

I know there are a couple different textures for the charts in the regular themes. I have created a custom theme for my company and I would like to be able to change the texture on the charts. But I can't seem to figure out how to choose which texture is used.
Does anyone know how to do that?

Darin, this is covered in the Keynote User Guide (p.179 in the KN3 guide). To quote:
To set default chart attributes:
1 In the slide organizer, create a new slide based on the master slide you are designing.
2 Place a chart on the slide canvas.
3 Select the chart and set its attributes. (For more information, see Chapter 6, “Creating Charts.”)
4 To define defaults for another chart type, copy the chart and paste it on a new slide, change the chart type, and set the chart attributes. Repeat this step for each chart type.
5 When all the charts are formatted as you wish, select each of them, one at a time, and make the new properties the default by doing one of the following:
- To make the chart’s attributes the default for the current master, choose Format > Advanced > Define [chart] for Current Master.
- To make the chart’s attributes the default for all the masters in the current theme, choose Format > Advanced > Define [chart] for All Masters.
- To make the chart’s type the default for all master slides in the current theme, choose Format > Advanced > Make [chart] the Default Chart Type.
6 In the dialog that appears, specify the total number of series for which you are defining attributes.
7 Delete the charts from the slides.

How do I change the theme of a custom theme presentation in Keynote?

How do I change the theme of a custom theme presentation in Keynote?
I have a beautiful preso that my designer created. I want to use the copy in those slides with a different theme more conducive to my audience. And use only some of the slides (I know how to do that part).
Thanks!

merv,
A rather simple way, regardless of version, may be to:
1) Select everything and scale down;
2) In the Select dropdown click Object, then Text Objects, then Object>Transform>Transform Each and scale up to the original size or to a(nother) suitable one.

Any apps you've had installed on your iPad can be downloaded again.
Go to App Store on your iPad and select 'Updates' and then tap on Purchased. You can then view all purchases made on the iPad or purchases made on other devices by selecting the 'Not on this iPad' tab.

How can I remove some themes from Keynote??

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.

Bulk delete of customer details after soft bounce

Another item that has been requested time and time again over the years.
Anyone have a solution of how to delete Leads after a soft bounce, which never came through as a hard bounce. (I won't call them customers as there is no other information on them or purchases - just an email address, so there is no issue)
Nothing is easy in this system! Getting jack of it, and so are clients.
You can pull up the problem soft bounces, and fantastic, you can open in a new tab, instead of the STUPID pop up box.
But that is where the ease stops. I can not view the customer in a "New Tab" and then delete them.
I can only click on the link and view the customer, which means my list of all the soft bounces disapears.
After deletion, I have to go through the whole rigmarole again, of
going to the email campaign
Going to bounces
changing the sort criteria
waiing for the list
viewing the customer
deleting them
and starting again
There are over 200 bounces
Seriously !!
Again I point out this was on the wish list for years!!

A row-by-row delete should function properly but will probably be slow for a couple of reasons. The index maintenance has already been mentioned, but the other reason is context switching - there can be overhead from switching back and forth between SQL and PL/SQL. Bulk SQL as John illustrated should be efficient. Also remember to do as few commits as possible, one if you can.
If you are deleting a significant number of rows in the table you can try dropping non-critical indexes (not used for the delete) and rebuilding them when the delete is done - if other processes don't need to access the data during this time. Indexes used for the delete can be dropped and recreated afterwards.
Another option suggested here on OTN that might help is to copy the rows you want to keep to a new table, recreate any indexes and constraints (this will take a bit of effort), drop the old table and rename the new table to the old name. This might help if you are deleting a lot of rows.
The parallel query option might help if you can parallelize the deletion, or perhaps reading the list of rows to delete. I'm not sure about licensing on this option.
Another option is to consider partitioning - if you have the license. If you can partition by the deletion key removing the rows by dropping the partiton can be very fast.

How can I edit or delete a custom label in the contacts list on iOS 7 on iPhone 4S ?

I've been trying to find a way to do this since I updated to IOS 7, and I've just found the solution/explanation, even tho is a bit heavy to carry out.
IOS 6 creates custom labels and save them giving you the option to delete them.
IOS 7 creates custom labels but don't save them, so there is no need to have the option to delete them.
But here comes the problem, if you have some custom labes saved in you Iphone / Ipad with IOS 6 and you update it to IOS 7, the device will keep those labels saved, but you wont be able to delete them.
I realized this by going to contacts on Icloud. There those labels that I had on my devices weren't there. So simply restoring your device and configuring it as a new one to later sync your Icloud Contacts, will solve the problem.
I know this post is old, but I might just try this with iOS 8. I have outdated custom labels that annoy me, because I still seem them in the list as options. If I get desperate enough, I may try your solution.

How to delete a custom format in Numbers 3

I am one of the poor unfortunates that has upgraded to Numbers 3 BIG mistake!!
However does anyone know how to delete a custom format in Numbers 3?
I'm not sure where the custom format came from in the erlier version of numbers. I guess I must have created it for something, I can't remember what.
It now appaers that when I send a Numbers 3 document via email to an Excel format it adds a weird custom format that turns currency into garbage. Once in Excel simply going to format cells and deleting this odd format cures the problem.
If I could find a way of deleting it in Numbers 3, hopefully the problem will go away.
This is far from the only problem I'm having with Numbers 3. It's begining to look like I'll have to abandon Numbers 3 having had to go to the expense of buying a new iPad because Numbers 3 documents (and presumably Pages Keynote etc) no longer work on the original iPad.

I never promote the method the deletion unless you understand the underlying tables of planning, if you search on the forum you will see posts on the subject just like this one - Delete dimension from planning application
