Fonts and older Keynote presentation

I have tons of Keynote 08 presentations which no longer open in keynote after upgrading to Snow Leopard (10.6.2). I think the problem is related to Fonts (based on my reading of the error message details). Does anyone has any clue as to how do resolve this (aside from going back to previous OS version)?

It is really strange, the presentation opens in Keynote, I can see the slides and then it hourglasses and crashes. The error message essentially says that Keynote quit unexpectedly. Under details there are some references to font libraries.
I can create new presentations, use the same fonts as the ones in the older presentations, save them and have not problems. It is only the old ones that are not opening.

  • How can I make sure fonts in a Keynote presentation developed on iMac will show/match when transferring the presentation to MacBook Air?

    It would seem (to me) this should not be an issue, but I have an iMac and MacBook Air with the identical version of OS (10.7.4) and Keynote ('09 5.1.1).  Yet, the fonts don't match.  Fonts I would regularly use when developing the presentation on the iMac do not transfer (create "Review" errors) to the Air.  How can I fix it so that all the fonts on iMac show on Air?

    If I am understanding your question correctly what you are wanting to achieve is not possible. You can't run the same keynote presentation on both devices at the same time. Also, why would you want to use the small screen size of the iPhone as your display instead of the iPad? If it is just to see your presenter notes then print them out and use the iPhone as your remote.
    Perhaps more info is needed so i fully understand your issue.

  • How can I find a font in a Keynote presentation?

    Is there a way to do a "find" for the places that a particular font appears in a set of Keynote slides?
    When I opened a Keynote presentation I'd created last year I got a warning that it could not find "MS PGothic" -- which is likely true since I don't use that particular font.  The warning told me that this font was on the 2nd slide but all I see there is the standard TNR font that I use for text blurbs.  I'd like to search for where this random font appears but I could not find a way to include a font-spec in the Edit->Find parameters. 
    Is there some place where I can see all the fonts in use in a presentation and, more specifically, pinpoint the places were a given font is in use?
    This is Keynote on my computer, not the iPad rendition of Keynote.

    The Replace Font wasn't useful because the rogue font was not visible and, thus, a change to some other font (even when I picked one that should have been a stand-out) didn't help me locate the bad spot(s).  I did use your suggestion and created a new slide, moving bits onto it from the 'bad' slide until I got that new one to 'break' also.
    I eventually narrowed it down to the 'soft' line breaks I'd inserted in some of the text blocks.  For some reason that I can't explain those line-break characters had rendered in that MS PGothic font, which I don't use (and which I had disabled). Once I knew the pattern, it was a fairly simple matter to select the text block (including the line breaks) and reapply the paragraph's font.  And, viola!, the warnings are now gone.

  • What do I have to do in creating a Keynote presentation on my MAC so that when I send it to my iPad, I don't have to re-do the presentation all over again as the fonts have changed, sizing has changed and everything is basically a mess?

    What do I have to do in creating a Keynote presentation on my MAC so that when I send it to my iPad, I don't have to re-do the presentation all over again as the fonts have changed, sizing has changed and everything is basically a mess?
    I have downloaded many of my previous Keynote presentation into my new ipad mini and not ONE has opened properly
    Rather defeats the purpose of icloud, synching, Keynote on IOS etc doesn't it?
    Any tips anyone?
    Cheers

    Thanks for this Gary. Much appreciated. Will help with future ones.
    Still a bit like using keynote in 'safe mode' and very limiting.
    If anyone produces an 'auto convert' app that will save me the work of fixing existing presentations slide by slide, I'm buying it :-)
    Thanks again

  • Keynote to ipad, with custom fonts and graphics

    Have a keynote presentation we've spent a lot of time on.
    Custom fonts, graphics.
    I've given up trying to import it into keynote on the iPad. Fonts alone are a big issue.
    So, trying converting it to quicktime, but then it plays as a movie, there is no simple, elegant solution to pause, or tap through the presentation.
    Or, am I missing something?!
    Appreciate any help.
    Charles

    Hi, i found this "solution".
    It's impossible to upload new fonts on iPad, but you can convert your slides in pictures and upload your new presentation on iPad.
    I dont' like it ... but it's the one way i found.

  • Why is the font garbled in my keynote presentation?

    I saved a keynote presentation yesterday (notebook theme) and all was fine; this morning, though, the font (Bradley Hand ITC) is spaced wrongly, as if it's typed over itself... Weird. I can change the font as a workaround, but I'd prefer not to have too. I've only had my Macbook three weeks...

    Hi, and thanks for getting back to me.
    The weird thing is that I installed the latest updates this morning, and saw that one of them related to fonts. I opened the keynote presentation in question and it was fine. When I closed it and opened it again to check, the problem had returned...

  • Font size in Keynote and Pages Table on IPAd

    I imported some keynote presentation into iPad and was horrified to see all my tables with text entries got totally screwed up. After a brief investigation, I discovered that on the iPad if you create a table your are limited to 4 text sizes (L, M, S and Tiny, just like bathing suite sizes). Even the Tiny size is too big for the tables I use.
    Any ideas on how I can use regular font sizes in tables (like 12, 10 8 and so forth)? Am I missing something here? Any help will be appreciated!

    Not if you restore from a backup you've made on iTunes.  All the settings, etc. will be the same.  Of course, there may be corrupted files in the backup that are causing your crash.  Give it a try and see what happens.

  • Transferring a Keynote presentation from my computer to another Mac. How do I know which fonts to transfer?

    I am transferring a large Keynote presentation from my computer to another Mac. How do I know which fonts were used in my presentation to be able to see if the other Mac has those as well?
    The Keynote notes says that fonts are NOT transferred with the presentation.
    Please email me the answer ASAP to "[email protected]".
    Thanks.

    I am syncing my iphone to my iTunes account and then I do a backup and also making sure all updates are current.  Then by going to the my phone and then going to the right and selecting the restore my iphone.

    I would appreciate it if someone could advise me as to the optimum resolution, dimensions and dpi for actual photographic slides that I am scanning for use in a Keynote Presentation, that will be projected in a large auditorium. I realize that most projectors in auditoriums that I will be using have 1024 x 1200 pixels, and possibly 1600 x 1200. There is no reference to this issue in the Keynote Tutorial supplied by Apple, and I have never found a definitive answer to this issue online (although there may be one).
                Here’s my question: When scanning my photographic slides, what setting, from 72 dpi to 300 dpi, would result in the best image quality and use up the most efficient amount of space? 
                Here’s what two different photo slide scanning service suppliers have told me: 
    Supplier No. 1 tells me that they can scan slides to a size of 1544 x 1024 pixels, at 72 dpi, which will be 763 KB, and they refer to this as low resolution (a JPEG). However, I noticed when I looked at these scanned slides, the size of the slides varied, with a maximum of 1.8 MB. This supplier says that the dpi doesn’t matter when it comes to the quality of the final digital image, that it is the dimensions that matter.  They say that if they scanned a slide to a higher resolution (2048 x 3072), they would still scan it at 72 dpi.
    Supplier No. 2: They tell me that in order to have a high quality image made from a photographic slide (starting with a 35 mm slide, in all cases), I need to have a “1280 pixel dimension slide, a JPEG, at 300 dpi, that is 8 MB per image.” However, this supplier also offers, on its list of services, a “Standard Resolution JPEG (4MB file/image – 3088 x 2048), as well as a “High Resolution JPEG (8 MB file/image – 3088x2048).
    I will be presenting my Keynotes with my MacBook Pro, and will not have a chance to try out the presentations in advance, since the lecture location is far from my home, so that is not an option. 
    I do not want to use up more memory than necessary on my laptop.  I also want to have the best quality image. 
    One more question: When scanning images myself, on my own scanner, for my Keynote presentations, would I be better off scanning them as JPEGs or TIFFs? I have been told that a TIFF is better because it is less compressed. 
    Any enlightenment on this subject would be appreciated.
    Thank you.

    When it comes to Keynote, I try and start with a presentation that's 1680 x 1050 preset or something in that range.  Most projectors that you'll get at a conference won't project much higher than that and if they run at a lower resolution, it's better to have the device downsize your Keynote.  Anything is better than having the projector try and upsize your presentation... you work hard to make it look good, and it's mangled by some tired Epson projector.
    As far as slides go, scan them in at 150 dpi or better, and make them at least the dimensions of your presentation.  Keynote is really only wanting 72dpi, but I do them at 150, just in case I need to print out the presentation as a handout later, and having the pix at 150 dpi gives me a little help with their quality on a printer.
    You'd probably have to drop in the 150 versions again if you output the Keynote to .pdf or Word or something, but at least you have the option.
    And Gary's right (above) go ahead and scan them as TIFFs.  Sooner or later you'll want to do something else with these slides (like make something for an iPad or the like) and having them as TIFFs keeps your presentation looking good.
    Finally, and this is a big one, get to the location for your presentation ahead of time if you can, and plug the laptop in and see what you get.  There's always connection problems. Don't let the AV bonehead tell you everything will work just fine ('... I don't have any adapters for a Mac...') .  See it for yourself... you're the one that's standing up there.  Unless it's your boss, then you better be really sure it works.

  • I have a 2010 iMac 21.5, and have updated with Maverick. Now I can't open the pages or modify the keynote presentation I am working on.

    I recently updated my 2010 iMac 21.5 to MAVERICK. Now I have installed new versions of Pages and Keynote. I have been working on a KEYNOTE presentation that I am modifing for a new presentation at month end, and I can not insert new script. The template is blocked.
    Also, when opening an existing PAGES, I get the message that a new version must be installed and it directs me to the app store to buy it for $19.95. Even though these new editions were installed free with MAVERICK, do I now have to purchased these updates?

    Did you make the Keynotes presentation in the old or the new Keynotes, if you made it with the old version and try to modify it with the new there could be some incomaptibilites. Try opening the presentation with the original version of Keynotes which will probably be located in the Applications folder under iWork.
    Does the message state you may or must purchase an upgrade. For most tasks the old Pages will work on many occasions.
    I have the latest Pages to allow my devices to share over iCloud but I have not upgraded Numbers or Keynote as I do not require the functions the lastest versions provide.

  • Is there any way to view a keynote presentation and the presenter notes on the iPad at the same time?

    Is there any way to view a keynote presentation and the presenter notes on the iPad at the same time? My professors at school have keynote presentations and i take notes during class with the presenter notes feature. I was wondering if there was any way i can view both of them on the same screen on my iPad while studying? This way I could see their slides along with the notes i take during class.

    None that I know of. Suggest to Apple.
    Send feedback to Apple.

  • HT3697 I am trying to convert a Keynote Presentation to a cross platform PDF file. When using export it creates a 30mb file when it only need to be 2-3mb and so cant email or use it very easily. How do I get the file size down?

    I'm trying export a Keynote presentation to PDF, or other format, to use on Windows PC, iPad and other devices.
    The file Keynote create is way too large at 30mb+. So cant email or share it very easily
    If I print it and to Adobe PDF I can get it to 3mb, but have to crop it manually, and some settings or graphics are not so good or accdeptable!
    Does anyone know how to do this?

    Use Dropbox to send large files that cant be sent using email:

  • I have several keynote presentations on my computer but now am getting the message that the program cannot be installed "because of a problem." All this started when I bought microsoft office for  University (2011). What is the problem and how can I fix

    I have several keynote presentations on my newish computer but am not unable to open them. I get the message "keynote cannot be installed because of a problem" (unspecified). Does anybody know why this happend? Does it related to using Microsoft "University"  2011? How can I fix it? Thanks!

    Thank you for your reply.
    I just tried the 3-step process suggested on http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2431353
    This all started when my mouse/thumb clicker was going crazy. Found an expanded battery. Obviously need a new battery. Unfortunately must wait 6 weeks to get my new battery. Meanwhile, I'm running my computer on AC only, as there appears to be no other option. I was informed that when using AC only (no battery) some high-energy-use programs like Office might not function.
    Do you know if there is away to use office even when just using AC and not having the battery in? I'm doubting if I have other OSX problems because everything else works: email, safari, itunes, iphoto, quicktime, etc . . . . ?
