How to obtain Information in an open Keynote presentation

What I mean is that in other iLife applications, such as Pages, one can call on Information on the document by opening the Inspector/Document/Information.
I find this useful when I need to locate them in the Finder.
Where can I find the same service in Keynote?

Question :
How does this provide me with the ability to find out where the presentation is saved in Finder?
text is typed into one or more of the four boxes in the Keynote Inspector > Spotlight
Spotlight uses these fields to search for this text
If I had a project called Edinburgh Castle - I would type that into Spotlight and it would find it faster than other methods.
Using Pages as my example, the last item at the bottom provides a way to find the document in Finder.
No this does not help find anything using Spotlight. This is part of the document statistics, it shows whether the document has been printed and the date and time of last printing, Clicking the Show File Info button will display the file info window.
Other related Questions:
Do you add information to Keynote/Inspector/Document/Spotlight frequently when you create any document?
I have never used the Spotlight information fields. I place Keynote files in a folder named after the project title so I look directly at that folder in the Finder.

You don't. You scan the document with another app (eg, Image Capture), save it in a compatible format (eg, TIFF, JPEG, etc), then import the resulting image in your presentation in the usual manner, ie,
Use Media Browser…
Choose Insert > Choose, select the file, and then click Insert.
Drag a file from the Finder.
Drag a file from another application.

How to have dynamic content in a Keynote presentation (ie from XML file) ?

Hi,
I need to update automatically the content of a Keynote presentation from an extrenal file (ie XML). The update can be executed when the presentation is launched, it is not necessary to do it during it runs.
Is it possible and how ?
Regards,
Pierre

If it will all fit in memory read the file as you are doing now appending everything into a StringBuilder. Then use the reverse() method of that class to obtain your output.

Can't open keynote presentations - iPad displays only the blue icon

Arrgh! I'm having so many glitchy issues with keynote after upgrading to iOS8 it isn't even funny.
This morning I walk into class (I'm a teacher) and open keynote and see only the default keynote icons sitting in my subject folders. Regard:
They can't be opened, moved or renamed. There is no indication that they're updating (that wouldn't make any sense anyway since I've not edited the files recently). Presentations in other folders appear to be okay. Last night they were fine, but this morning for some reason all six files in the same folder are dead. I opened icloud via browser and the files are there and seem to be whole, which is a relief. At least I guess I can get them back if I need to by restoring the iPad. But any ideas why this happened? I had to ad-lib and improvise for my classes this morning. It was quite an uncomfortable situation.
This being an urgent issue, I've opened a support case with apple and am awaiting contact. But I wanted to post here as well just to see if anyone else has had this problem after upgrading to iOS8 (I upgraded about 4 weeks ago). This is the iPad 4, I think (the latest version of the iPad prior to the iPad Air).

I'm having same/similar problem trying to open an email attachment in pages (word doc). iPad will preview the document for me, but the only button showing on the right of the top bar is "print" ("done" is on the left). how do I open for editing? Thanks.

How do you insert bullets into a keynote presentation?

I am trying to insert bullets into a custom keynote presentation. How do you do this? Then, I need to convert to powerpoint. Haven't had to do this before. Is there someone who can walk me through it?

see the following thread: https://discussions.apple.com/message/5876208#5876208
There is also Keynote '09 User Guide available to you in your Help Menu which can be downloaded for free.
I recommend Chapter 4 for starters.
Good luck

How can I get back to my Keynote presentation once I've linked to a website?

I've created a Keynote presentation. On one slide, I have a link to a relevant Vimeo video on the web. It gets there seamlesly. However, when the 4 minute video is done playing, I can't return to my presentation. If I "x" out of Safari, my Keynote is gone. I've tried hitting esc but that doesn't work either.
Thanks for your help.

Use application switcher to display Keynote ; (command tab) press the command key then tap the tab key then release.

How can I extract images from a keynote presentation?

Keynote itself sometimes provides images - for example, the cover of a book in the Leather Book theme. How can I extract this image in order to manipulate it? I saw an answer that seemed to help, which was to ensure that the keynote file was saved as a package - but there doesn't seem a way to make this happen with an existing presentation, since there is no 'Save As' any more and duplication doesn't seem to hack it. I'm using MacOS Lion 10.7.5.
TIA

I found a solution. In the Format area, select the "Image" tab. You should see the file name there. Click and hold the name and drag and drop it to your desktop (or anywhere else you want to save it). It worked perfectly for me. Hope it helps!

PPT switcher- how to embed mpeg files in a Keynote presentation?

I used to take short mpeg files and embed them so they would run on a slide while I talked- it seems I can only attach iLife files.
Does this mean I have to import all the mpegs into iMovie and convert them into "sharable" formats to make them usable? I don't need to export them with PDFs or anything, just run them on the screen in class. I'm not even sure if I can import them- many are provided by textbook companies and may be protected somehow.
Once again, thanks in advance for any help!

If Quicktime can play it, you can import it.
If Quicktime can't currently play it, all you need is the codec for it, usually by downloading and installing:

and

If you upgrade Quicktime to Pro you should be able to re-export any movie file into any other format, although that can be slow.
Usually it is better to use something like:

How to embed music in a keynote presentation

Hi, how can I embed music in a keynote presentation ? Also, is there a way that a keynote presentation gets in full screen mode automatically when being opened ?

You can have music play in the background by dragging an audio file into the soundtrack well of the Document > Audio Inspector. Note: this audio file will play across many slides and only one file can be used.
If you want music to play on a particular slide, drag the audio file directly to the slide and set it to start in the Build Inspector > Build In > Start Movie. Audio files placed on a slide will play in the order you specify in the Build Inspector, but will not play once the slide transitions to the next slide.
If you have music that you want to play on only a few slides and then different music on another group of slides, you will have to break the presentation into smaller parts and hyperlink from the end of one slide file to the beginning of the next. In each smaller presentation, add the audio to the Soundtrack well.
See your Keynote '09 User Guide for details on hyperlinks.
As to going to full screen on opening, go to the Document Inspector > Document and check "Automatically play upon open"

Is there a way to pre-record the timing of the slides and effects in a keynote presentation, so that you can present it without having to press anything?

Hi! It would be great if someone could tell me how to pre-record timings in a keynote presentation, so that when presented, it plays by itself, based on the pre-set recordings. I know there is a way to do it by going to Inspector>Document> Audio> Record However when you do this, your computer also records the sounds it picks up with the microphone, which can greatly affect the sound. I have Keynote '09. Thanks in advance!

Open the Settings app > Notifications > Messages. Scroll down adn turn OFF "View In Lock Screen". You may want to consider setting Alert style to none, but this will not impact what happens when the screen is locked.

Help! I can preview the presentation in Finder however, when I click on "Open with Keynote" it says, "presentation can't be open". How can i get it to open?

Select one and hit the Space bar to view it in QuickLook. Use the forward arrow keys to move from file to file. If the file can't be viewed in the QuickLook mode then the file is damaged and probably can't be copied or moved.
You could try a photo file recovery application like MediaRECOVER which can scan the memory card and tell you what files, if any, can be recovered before you have to purchase it.

How can I embed a Keynote presentation on a web page?

I created a Keynote presentation using Keynote version 6.5 (OS X Yosemite). I found the "export as html" option, which creates an entire web page named index.html. I opened that web page in Dreamweaver, but I'm not talented enough to figure out how to turn that page into a proper index.html page, including the graphics, background, and links (etc.) that I want on my sites home page.
I have also tried to embed the presentation onto a web page that I've already created, but I can't figure out how to do that, either.
Can someone tell me if it's possible to embed a custom-sized Keynote presentation onto a web page and, if so, how?
OR can you tell me how to edit the page that Keynote created when I open it up in Dreamweaver?
I think the former would be easier, given what I've seen when I try to do the latter.
I have been using Dreamweaver for many years - since before Adobe bought it - and the site I'm currently updating is already in Dreamweaver. That's why I'm asking about Dreamweaver (if you were curious).
Of course, I've probably not provided all the information you would need to help me, so please ask questions. I won't be offended if they point out my ignorance!
Thank you for any help you might provide.

The only workaround I found was to use the desktop version of Keynote, which allowed me to export the presentation as a set of images to iPhoto. From there, they show up as an album and can be brought back to the iPad, and then played as a looping slide show in the pictures app. It worked perfectly.
