Inspector won't open in keynote 2

I have keynote 2. I was using it today to edit a presentation and it was working fine. I hooked my computer up to a pc to use the projector connected to the pc. Then I unhooked it, but didn't close keynote. When I went to edit the presentation again, the inspector wouldn't open. All of the other menus open. A new file still could not open inspector. I quit keynote and opened it again-still no inspector. I restarted my computer. Still no inspector. Has this happened to anyone else? How did you fix it? I am desperate, my presentation is in 2 days. Thanks.

The issue is resolved.

  • Motion 3 Inspector won't open

    When working with Motion 3, the inspector will not open up. I've tried using the keyboard short cuts to see if there was a way around simply selecting it from the window menu. I've even gone as far as to put the filters buttons in the toolbar only to find that the drop menu's from those buttons will not even open?
    Any advice or help would be GREATLY appreciated.

    A search will reveal many of the same exact posts. Trash your preferences file for Motion, that should solve it.

    Did you buy the keynote app or program? All that will work on the iPad is the keynote app.

  • Latest Keynote update won't open file. Says I need Keynote update! Why?

    I'm working on an urgent Keynote presentation for work (yes, on Sat night!) from my boss's MacBook at home ... or, rather, I'm trying to. Keynote just won't open the Keynote file I created yesterday on a different MacBook (reading from USB key). It says I need the newer version of Keynote in order to open this file. I checked ... the version installed was the latest version, but just for good measure, I've just re-installed the update from the Apple site (with boss's permission, lol). No joy ... still returning the same error message. Insists the file version is newer than the version of Keynote I'm running.
    Help, anyone?

    You are alternating between the two versions of Pages:
    Pages 5 and Pages '09.
    Pages '09 can not open Pages 5, and Pages 5 alters/damages Pages '09 files.
    Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09 is in your Applications/iWork folder.

  • I'm trying to update to keynote 09. I've done this but the old keynote icon is still on my dock? and keynote won't open?

    I've gone into iTunes. Upgraded my keynote to 09 (ie with the blue icon instead of the brown wooden one) but still the old (brown wooden) icon appears on my dock. When i click on keynotes they won't open? I've got keynote already on my other mac and its paid for so shouldn't i be able to use on my second mac? (I use two macbook airs each day for work. switching between them.

    The previous version of Keynote is not deleted when you install the new version. There are serious problems using the new version of Keynote (which is version 6 not 09 as you stated).   Best advice until Apple sort these problems is to use version 5 to open existing files and only use version 6 for new presentations.

  • I have the latest version of keynote but it won't open files....says I need a newer version

    Latest Keynote app was downloaded wirh Maverick update.  My keynote files won't open and error message says I need to download latest version. I cannot download newer version (have latest version already) because my purchases say I have already installed it. Any ideas how to fix this?

    I have just the same issue. I have the latest version installed. I did work on the file this afternoon, cannot open it anymore with the current version of Keynote (6.2)
    It seems that Keynote fails to save the presentation in the right way.
    In the Finder the Show package contents command is active when Control-clicking the file. Keynote files that open correctly in Keynote do not offer to show their package contents. I also realized that the .key file not opening is only 135 KB, which is pretty scarce for a presentation.
    I suppose this is a file corruption issue, which is needed to fixed by Apple. I'm affraid the contents of those files are gone.

  • HELP! Updated to keynote 9...created a presentation (took me hours) and now it won't open and i'm being told I have to 'buy' the new keynote to open it

    HELP! Updated to keynote 9...created a presentation (took me hours) and now it won't open and i'm being told I have to 'buy' the new keynote to open it

    Keynote 6 is compatible with Mavericks only, your profile states you are using Snow Leopard, if thats the case use Keynote version 5 and all will work as before.

  • Keynote made on my ipad3 won't open on Macbook pro

    I created keynotes presentation on my iPad 3, sent via email (i selected keynote format) to my self so I can open and revise it on my MacBook Pro, once I try to open it says unable to pen because it is not a valid format or something. I have all apple stuff..it should be the same format!,,!,,,,!
    Any ideas?
    Another issue: I plug a USB stick on my iPad 3, it won't open it, it says it requires too much power?
    Thanks

    Where ar eyou looking on your iPad to see your music. Many people mistakenly look in iTunes app when they should be looking in Music app.
    If you are doing it correctly, you can try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
    Resync and try again to see if the problem persists.

  • I transfered my iWork '09 to my new Mac Air. Now my Keynote won't open. I get message, "An unexpected error has occurred, please quit and reopen Keynote." This doesn't work.

    so Keynote still isnt working after installing, I thought you had it sorted from your last post.
    If you have not done so remove any files relating to iWork and Keynote and reinstall iWork
    files that must go are:
    the iWork ’09 folder from the main HD > Applications;
    the iWork ’09 folder in HD > Library > Application Support
    the individual iWork application plist files found in HD > Users > (your account) > Library >
    There are a number of free application removal tools  that will do this for you:
    trashme       webpage
    apptrap        webpage
    appcleaner   webpage

  • Keynote won't open in all accounts on same machine

    I started having problems with keynote ver2 on g4 17 inch powerbook after going from 10.3.9 to 10.4.4 so to solve the problem i purchased i works06 and installed it as an update however the problem persists
    namely when i attempt to launch or open existing keynote file the program won't load or crashes before any thing happens on the screen

    i have restarted , run disk repair/permissions reinstalled trashed plist files till i'm blue in the face
    mail is also acting weird since update
    any suggestions or solutions??

    if a new user works it's either your Keynote prefs (maybe you missed one?) or there could be a bad font in your user fonts folder. Past that I can't think of anything user specific that would crash Keynote.

  • Keynote won't open

    I tried to open a PPT file in Keynote and it crashed. Ever since then, Keynote won't open at all. It seems to open, then crashes in 5 seconds. Need to use Keynote on my laptop and I don't have my discs right now either.

    Are you referring to the iOS app that you tried to open a ppt in, or desktop. You posted in iOS/iPad iWork community. But refer to using the laptop.
    iOS only - Restart device completely by holding down the power button until the red slider shows up and shut down. Resart and see if it works.
    If that doesnt work, or its desktop only and restart doesnt fix it,  I would reinstall Keynote. Desktop can be done if you purchased through the AppStore I beleive.
    On iOS, make sure you sync your device prior to deleting Keynote. I had it delete all documents in my "iTunes: folder when I did this once. Use iTunes to copy all files in Keynote iTunes folder to your desktop, then delete and reinstall the app. Make sure you restart your device.

  • Keynote won't open after updates! SOS!

    Hi, I originally started out with Keynote version 2 and I wanted to update it. I got as far as version 3.0.2 before I couldn't update anymore. Now, when I click on Keynote, it won't open at all. It simply bounces once and that's it. I need this desperately to open in order to finish my project for school. Help would be much appreciated!

    As I mentioned above, if you want Keynote 3, you'll have to buy iWork '08.
    If you want to use the Keynote 2 that you've got, you'll have to do some back-tracking: remove all the Keynote-related files (applications, plist's, and receipts),restart in "Safe" mode, then reinstall Keynote 2 and its subsequent updates.

  • Keynote won't open existing file

    I uploaded the latest version of Keynote and still wont open my existing files even though it says to download latest version?

    Hello,
    I have version 5.3 now. I created the file in this version and it worked a few days ago? No changes, no updates. I go to install the latest version and my computer says it's already installed. ???? I already did all my updates for this computer. Now it won't open any of my keynote files that have been previuosly created, only new ones.

  • Keynote (6.2) file won't open. Can I make a new Index.zip file using some of the extracted .iwa files?

    Keynote (6.2) file won't open (hung and crashed during auto-OS update).  Trying to salvage everything possible.  I know about grabbing the pictures from Data folder, but is there a way to extract the good .iwa files and make a new Index.zip? 
    Tried extracting, capturing uncorrupted .iwa and deleting corrupted ones, but can't figure out how to re-compress to readable format for Keynote.  Seems silly that I can't ge the new .zip file to work.  There has to be some sort of manual work-around, yeah?
    Thanks.

    This problem has been reported to the AppleWorks team, but I doubt that we will ever hear if there is a fix. AppleWorks 6 is now nearly 6 years old & hasn't even had an update since March, 2004.
    Nothing has been found to be able to make AppleWorks 6.2.9 open the problem files. I've had it happen & not happen with all AppleWorks file types. These files can be opened by any other version of AppleWorks 6, including the OS 8/9 component 6.2.8. If you have the retail version of AppleWorks & have Classic installed, you can "Force" AppleWorks 6 to open in Classic to open the files, save them as AW 6 files & then open them in the OS X version. You do want to make sure you don't have both the Classic & OS X versions of AppleWorks 6 running at the same time. I find it much easier to use AppleWorks 5 in Classic to open & save the files. AppleWorks 6.2.9 has no problem opening AppleWorks 5 files.

  • Keynote file i updated yesterday won't open

    I'm feeling nauseous.  I updated a very large file that i've been working on for years yesterday.  Upgraded it to new keynote.  Now....it won't open.  At all.  Just says "can't be opened".  I tried keynote 09, new keynote.  Tried dragging into new keynote icon on deck. 
    OMG.  I've only had problems with this new effing keynote.  I didn't even question that it would corrupt all of my content. 
    Anyone?  thanks...

    Use Keynote version 5 to open edit and play version 5 presentations.
    Only use Keynote version 6 for new presentations.
