Duplicate Themes in theme chooser

I just installed Keynote 3.0 on my PB last night and noticed that when I open a new presentation, all the themes I have purchased from Jumsoft are displayed twice. Can someone help make this go away? Does Keynote 3.0 put themes in a different place/look in a different place for other themes besides those that come with the app? I do have Keynote 2 intalled as well. Thanks.

I've got the same problem.
I've noticed that all those themes are in both my system-level library folder (/Library/Application Support/iWork/Keynote/Themes) and my account library folder (~/Library/Application Support/iWork/Keynote/Themes). There is also an iWork '06 folder in the system-level application support library, but it doesn't have annything in it but the iWork 06 Tour.
I'm guessing I can delete one set of these files, but I'm not certain which one. Does anyone have any advice?

Did anyone notice the problem with theme chooser??

Hello all!
Just wondering if anyone else has noticed a problem -- I have purchased a bunch of extra themes and now when you click on the theme chooser, it brings up a great little window with ALL of your available themes. However, there are no scroll arrows if you have too many themes!! As such, there are "missing" themes in the chooser, but if you scroll the mouse to the top of the screen, it will change it (although you can't see the one you pick!!). So, they ARE there, but the window for picking them is screwed up.
Any help with this? Apple??
Thanks in advance!!

Yeah, and I've been told Apple knows about it.I think the cutoff point is about 60 themes total, then it breaks.
You can still use the actual theme chooser (what you're talking about is the themes menu, not the chooser) to change a theme by using the Choose Theme function from the Edit menu (not the New or New from theme)

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?

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.

Lost "Open Recent" in Theme Chooser After Update

Hi! I finally updated my OS to Mountain Lion from Snow Leopard and to Keynote v.5.3, as well. Did two computers: an early-2008 MBP and a late-2010 MBA. The MBA's Keynote app doesn't fire up the Theme Chooser on start-up, and when I select New Document, the Theme Chooser that does pop up has does not have the Open Recent and Existing Files options.
The MBP I upgraded does.
How can I set my MBA to show Theme Chooser on start-up and show Recents and Existing Files? I've looked through all my Preferences options and can't find an obvious selection.
Thank you.

Theme Chooser Not Working - No Themes?

Hi there,
I'm using iPhoto 11 - trying to make a photo book - and my theme chooser doesn't seem to be working. I don't get to choose any themes - they all look the same, see the screen shot below:
Can't choose any colours or background options either. Its like the software didn't properly install or something. Likewise when I ctrl-click on an event, I don't get the option to make a book, I only get this:
Can someone tell me what is going on?? Thanks!!

You need to reinstall the app.
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List* there.
For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
*Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

Cannont find themes in Theme Chooser

I recently (re)installed some themes I purchased from Keynote Pro... then I tried to clear up my 'libraries' as I noted that I had iWork; iWork '08 and iWork '09 as well as Keynote. Since I am using iWork 09, I moved the folders from inside the Keynote libraries into iWork '09 and removed the rest...
NOW , I cannot find the Keynote Pro themes that I had installed although the original Apple supplied themes are all there.
Can anyone advise what I should do in order to be able to see all the extra themes in the panel of Theme chooser??
Thanks James

See if this works...
Go to Home > Library > Application Support > iWork > Keynote > Themes
If there is not a Themes Folder or Keynote folder in iWork at that level (Home > Library > Application Support > iWork) , then create a Keynote folder in the iWork folder and then a Themes folder within that Keynote folder. Then, move your themes in there.
Start iWork....You should see your imported themes below the Apple ones...
iWork themes that come with Keynote are part of Keynote's package (cntl click on Keynote, show contents, etc...If you don't know what you are doing, don't mess with that part).

Custom theme does not show up in theme chooser

Hi all,
I'm just trying to create a custom theme based on a presentation template I created. When I do this on my private iMac 2009 with Keynote 5.1.1 this works without any troubles and the theme shows up when selecting "New from Theme".
If I do this on my brandnew MBP (very late 2011) it won't show the theme in the theme chooser.
I looked it up, the theme file is located in the right folder.
Another strange thing that happened to me is that if I save the presentation as a theme on the desktop and open the file from there, Keynote opens a new file but with 800x600 pixels instead if the original 1920x1080 pixels and completely messes up the dimensions etc.
I did reboot, nothing changed.
Any ideas?
P.S.: I transferred my complete Mac from a 2009 MBP with all content and apps.

This is happening to me too. So, what can we do about this? I am trying to make a custom theme for a high profile business client and this stuation is making me look bad.

Theme Chooser Not Updating

Has anyone noticed that if you change the title of a theme (your own, not Apple's), that sometimes it doesn't update the title in the Theme chooser. In my ca, I updated the copyright dates within my theme, and then changed the title to 2011 from 2010. But Theme Chooser in Keynote keeps the old title, even tho it has the new 2011 copyrights in the file, should you choose the old titled file. I can restart and still no change. And the themes is in the correct place ~/Library/Application Support/iWork/Keynote/Theme.
Is there any cache that can be cleared to force on update.
And this happens on both my laptop and desktop (with 10.6.7)

How to link the same horizontal page for two different vertical pages without duplicate them?

Hey guys,
Is there a way to link the same horizontal page on two different vertical pages without duplicate the horizontal page?
I have a doublepage of a book splitted in two parts in different vertical pages but i want link the fullsized image in the horizontal page for both of them. Got that? hahaha
Thank you all

Confusing But interesing.
I think it's possible. I have a idea. It will need one advanced trick.
To explain it, I need test simply haha.

My bookmarks are duplicating exponentially. When I try to restore them from backup, it just duplicates them again.

I'm guessing something major screwed up and the duplicate somehow got synced to my firefox sync account, and that it's restoring them when I delete the duplicates locally. But I have no idea how to fix it.

This problem has not been solved. For one, I have hundreds, maybe thousands of duplicate bookmarks that I do not want to touch because it would take ages to get rid of them. Second, it keeps duplicating. I'm highly frustrated with Mozilla for not fixing this since it's been going on for almost a year now. How come you people can't create a fix for this? And how come you guys have not made it so all the duplicates get deleted? When will this be fixed?

Keynote 09 Theme Chooser

Hi! This just happened after I installed the current update of iWork 09 two days ago. Seems that I cannot select theme "Gradient" (which is my favorite and often used). The first slide came up plain with a big "X" across the entire slide. There was a document error warning citing that "One or more colors could not be properly read, and may not display correctly on some systems." Anyone has a solution? Seems this happens only for "Gradient" and not for others. Thanks!

yup - the iWork 09 folder is in Applications. I may have to re-install from discs and update. However, I still think something went amiss during update because prior to that I was using the affected theme for dozens of presentations. I also tried re-installing the update too - same result.

Having a user in more than one group makes them choose a group at login..

hello
osx server 10.5.6
xserve quad core xeon
when a user is in more than one group in OD they are made to choose which group they want to log in to when logging in.
all groups have home folders that are automounted on login under groups->preferences->login->items->add group share point
and then also under groups->preferences->dock->dock items->documents and folders->add group folders is checked and the group folder is added as well under here.
when they are in a single group and they log in, their group folder is automatically added to the dock. it's great.
my question is, how do i have someone in multiple groups have all the group folders show up on the dock? why do they have to choose a group when they log in? it's very constricting.
any ideas?

How come my text disappears when I choose a new theme?

I'm new to keynote and I've imported a powerpoint presentation and I want to change the theme. When I do this, my text disappears. Can anyone help?

sometimes this can appear to happen if the text is in a "body" box but the master slide doesn't have the body box turned on by default.
Once your text goes missing, click on the slide inspector and then on the Appearance tab. See if the title or body are turned off, and check them to turn them back on.
Also, when you choose the new theme, use the theme choose, don't just pick a theme from the list, and when the chooser comes up, UNCHECK the retain changes to theme defaults. This should force your ppt into the new theme more correctly.
If your text is still missing, then there's something else going on here.

How do I make a new keynote master/theme/background?

I love keynote, but the included masters/themes/backgrounds included are (necessarily) quite limited. I want to use other backgrounds, but I want to make sure that I am not unnecessarily overloading the slideshow size for slide backgrounds. Keynote v. 6.5...

How do I make a new keynote master/theme/background?
master:
view > edit master slide
click on the blank master then duplicate it using right click or (Command D)
rename the new master
theme:
create a new design on a new master slide then:
file > save theme
add to theme chooser
background:
click on the slide background then; Inspector > Format > Background: click the dropdown menu and select from colour , gradient or image
The inspector is the side panel on the right

Password Manager presents dialog for existing logins but does not fill them

I'm experiencing problems with PasswordManager 2.1.0 on a T60p with Vista Business. It often doesn't autofill logins I previously set up, which are Outlook 2007 and a few websites. It presents the Yes/No/Never dialog to set them up again and again, even though they're already set up. If I choose yes and try to set a login up again I'm warned it's a duplicate. If I choose never it doesn't stop the dialog next time.
Any tips?

Hi media_lush,
No luck. I tried both "Keychain First Aid" and then removing the .plist for Keychain, but no luck.
I did find something interesting yesterday. I was playing around with the developer menu from Safari, and in the User Agent menu, I selected "Internet Explorer 7". Well, for one site (not all) where the passwords were not stored, they were now!
My guess from this is that Safari has changed the rules where it identifies a form as being a "password form". I've seen this on many of my sites using much JQuery or SPRY for form validation: with SPRY attached to password form fields, Safari rarely (if not ever) prompts to store the password info, but if I remove the SPRY validation from the fields, Safari will save the username/password fields.
Conclusion: no luck yet, same issue.
