Keynote 06 to Keynote 08

I made a presentation on Keynote 06. When I switched my Macbook over to Leopard, I edited my Keynote 06 presentation on Keynote 08, and the file became corrupt. How do I fix this?

When you Save As, there is a checkbox at the bottom of the dialog box that you can check which lets you save as "iWork '06" or "iWork '05" format. These can be opened in Keynote '06 (which is part of iWork '06).

I am making my first keynote presentation. I transferred the slides from a power point. I did not use a 'theme' from keynote. Keynote will not let me 'name' the presentation and the 'save as' option will not come up in the menu. What have I done wrong

I am making my first keynote presentation. I transferred the slides from a power point. I did not use a 'theme' from keynote. Keynote will not let me 'name' the presentation and the 'save as' option will not come up in the menu. What have I done wrong

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.

Using Keynote 5 & Keynote 6 Together

I was one of the fortunate ones who did not loose their ability to work with Keynote 5.3, when Keynote was upgraded to version 6. I have hundreds of Keynote 5 presentations I use to make a living. But now I'm wondering if it is possible to use Keynote 6 on the same Mac as Keynote 5?
If so, what pit-falls should I be aware of so I don't end-up prohibiting myself from continuing to use my previous Keynote presentations, without being forced to upgrade them?
Thanks for any insight anyone can offer ...

Hello - Since I started this thread I thought I should return to it and let you know that I was able to get both Keynote 5 & Keynote 6 working at the same time. I did this with the help of a very knowledgable person at the Apple Genius Bar. I did not have to move anything, since Keynote 5 was already in the iWork '09 folder.
I went to the Apple App Store and installed Keynote 6 as an update - even thought it's says "Update", it actually loads and entirely new version of Keynote 6 in the Application Folder.
As mentioned above, you definitely want to clearly indicate which of your presentations are built with Keynote 5, and which are built with Keynote 6. Then Make Sure you open the respective ones Only from Within their respective applications. If you do not, you will not be able to go back and open your old presentations in Keynote 5, some of your transitions & features will be lost.
Just to be clear, I am now able to open both versions of Keynote at exactly the same time without any issues.

Opening a shared "view only" Keynote in Keynote for iOS ?

I've shared a keynote with co-workers and given them view-only access. It really needs to be viewed either on a Mac or in Keynote for iOS so that it retains it's audio soundtrack and it's animations. My co-workers don't have Macs, but they do all have staff iPads. When I send them a link to share the view-only keynote, it tries to direct them to a Safari tab and iCloud.
Is there a way for them to open a view-only Keynote in the Keynote app for iOS? That's the only way they can see it with the designed animations and audio.

I figured it out and they DO play the background soundtrack on the iPad.
These were files created in Keynote 5.3 (iWork '09). However, since that version doesn't allow sharing to iCloud, I made a copy of the file and opened it in Keynote 6.2 (newest version). I shared it to iCloud as view-only.
When you click on the emailed link to the shared document, it opens a page in Safari on the iPad. This page includes a download link. Once you wait for the download process to finish, the normal "Open in. . ." popup (overlay at the top) appears on the Safari page and it then allows you to open the presentation in Keynote for iOS. This plays the file AND the background soundtrack. One of the presentations had an iTunes playlist as the background soundtrack. Another presentation had a "recorded narrative". Both files played with their audio intact.

Convert PowerPoint to Keynote without Keynote

I wonder if there is a tool that can convert a PPT into a KNT without loading it into keynote. I know that I can simply load a ppt into keynote and then save it later as knt. But is there a tool that can take ppt and spit out knt so I can upload it to my ipad when I do not have my macbook around? (or without sending it via email)

Yes I know but how do I get the presentation onto the iPad then?
If I use iTunes to copy a ppt onto iPad (via the app page under keynote) the presentation does not appear when I start keynote. I can see that the file has been copied onto the ipad (in itunes) but not on the ipad

Keynote 08 - keynote 09 and vice versa compability

Hi,
I've recently downloaded the free trial of iWork'09 and worked on my presentation on Keynote'09. Is there a way that I can safe the file so that it's compatible with Keynote'08?
Thanks

Hi Olivia,
Yes File Menu > Save as... then Select Save Copy as iWork'08 option. Keynote will notify you of the transitions it has dumped/converted due to them not being supported in KN08. Enjoy.

Connection keynote remote - keynote freezes... help!

Hi there!
I am using keynote for a couple of years for business presentation, the last year using keynote remote on an iPod touch, which works fine, connects via Wifi with the main computer and so it goes! Then came iOS 4.0... and: without any chance to reproduce this fault - the connection simply freezes at a certain time, sometimes after 5 minutes, most times after 30 or more minutes, and nothing ever happens at all and I am in the mid of my presentation! I am using keynote extensively and need urgent help!! Thanx!

I had a Edge connection that was using a different IP. Once I got rid of that, everything works like a charm.

Keynote dissapeared, Keynote disapeared, Keynote disapeared

Hey
On my school computer, Keynote, Pages and Apples variant of Excel (forgot the name) dissapeared. I put pages and keynote in the dock. A while later, instead of the icons you usually get, there where a questionmark instead, the same size as the original icons. I couldn't open them in this state. I removed them from my dock, and they vanished from my macbook air! As you might have guessed, Pages, Keynote and the other program are pretty vital since this is a school computer. Any chance of getting them back, and how would i go about doing that. I have checket in spotlight and in finder, but i still cannot find them. Help please!

Which model/generation is this MBA?
I have a 2010 11" MBA that came with iWorks preinstalled, and was also supplied with a software reinstallation flash drive that contained iWorks, in case I ever need to reinstall.
If yours was an earlier version, then the iWorks reinstall media came on a DVD, supplied and packed with the machine.
On the last two generations of Air, Apple provides for backup application media through the App Store. In fact, this is how users re-install iLife, and iWorks if their system came with it.
So, are you missing the original backup media, or is yours a more recent model?
If yours is older model that came with physical media, and you need replacement media, you go through technical support, as if you were ordering a part for your machine. If indeed your system shows that it came with iWorks, then the replacement media will be at a rather nominal cost.

How do you prevent your hyperlinks in Keynote 6.5. from changing?

Dear Apple community,
Since I installed the new Keynote version 6.5. I have troubles creating hyperlinks. Whenever I link an email-address or URL to a text object or shape the link gets changed afterwards. For example:
Display: [email protected]
Email: [email protected]
will be changed automatically in:
Display: [email protected]
Email: [email protected] (this mail address can be any random email address that has been mentioned in another link in the document before)
Things I tried:
- Press enter first
- Create a new text field instead of copying another textfield in which I simply change the link
I suspect this to be a bug, but it could be I am doing something wrong. Can anyone help me out? Thank you very much in advance!

Im not aware of any previous concerns with hyperlinks in 6.5, hyperlinks work perfectly all our systems

Keynote file can no longer be opened

Hi everybody,
I really need urgent help. I spent this weekend on working on a keynote presentation. My G5 Dual 1.8 suddenly freezed and the mouse cursor could no longer be moved forcing me to reboot the computer.
After this I tried to reopen my Keynote file… Unfortunately, this is unpossible and I get a Keynote message "Keynote can not open this file".
Urrrrghhh!
What's this? Has all my weekend work gone forever? Is there a chance to salvage the file?
Thanx a lot for your feedback.
Pergamentus

I know this is an older thread but I am praying you guys have found some solutions since the last post on here. I have a file that started as a KN2 file and now saved as a KN 3 file. As I have upgraded versions of KN, I have saved them in the newest versions. That should not be so rare. This particular file worked just fine as I was working on it. Before I closed it, I copied it as a back-up onto two external hard disks plus I have enabled back-up mode in KN3. Today I find I could not open ANY of the original files nor back-ups. I've already rebuilt this file once from a previous working version. I'd hate to start from scratch with a brand-new file but is that what I am left with at this point? I am no XML genius but it seems the problem is in there (I opened up the package, moved the xml file to a new KN3 file, no dice). Any help would be tremendous. Thankfully, I still have time to start from scratch if need be.
Thanks!

After ios 5 update, bluetooth on ipod touch not funcioning-keynote app no longer pairing with ipad

Since the ios 5 update--bluetooth longer funcioning on ipod touch. iPad no longer syncing with keynote remote app on ipod touch. My iPad no longer sees the iPod touch. The Bluetooth indicator does not come on or flash on the ipod touch.
any help or suggestions?

I've got a fix, even for those who don't have hotspot (like me) who want to get the ipad and iphone talking over bluetooth again.
First, I should say that I said when I got my 4s, the problem was solved. It was not. I was just connecting via wifi, but I wanted bluetooth back.
Here is how I got it back without hotspot.
1. Launch keynote on one device and the remote on the other as you normall would.
2. Find another app that bluetooth links ipad and iphone (I used 'pictransfer light'). Install on both devices and launch on both devices. Follow the promt to get a bluetooth sync.
3. Double push the home button both devices to pull up the multi-tasking and open keynote and keynote remote on the relevant devices.
4. In keynote, go to settings; advances; remote. You should now be able to get the remote to link (you may, on the device running the remote, need to hit settings and then 'new keynote link'.
Once I launched pictransfer, the bluetooth logo was blue on both devices the whole time I ran through the other steps. I suspect that that was also the point of using the hotspot service.
Also noteworthy: I am yet to try this 'in the field'. For all I know, this won't keep a connection for as long as one might need. I'll find out on Thursday when I rely on the remote for 90min. On the positive side, I was able to keep the connection even when I double clicked home and closed pictransfer while leaving keynote and keynote remote open...
This work-around worked -- I found that as long as I launched the "Pictransfer for iPad Lite" app just before the presentation that it seemed to work fine. However, if Bluetooth gets turned off or you disconnect I think you will have to repeat the work-around -- nice find.
Apple really needs to fix this. They even have a posted document describing how to link two devices by Bluetooth and the truth is that it just does not work as they say. They need to add whatever code into the Keynote & Keynote Remote apps to initiate bluetooth to connect the devices. It's fine if it prefers WiFi, but it should give you the bluetooth option as well.

HT3430 Can't open a Keynote 09 presentation in Keynote 08

Keynote 09 does not have a "Save As" option so there doesn't seem to be a way to open a Keynote 09 presentation on Keynote 08.

Keynote projects are not backward compatible:
Keynote 09 projects can not be opened in Keynote 08, they are different file types.
Either arrange to have the project saved as an 08 project press the option key then; file > save as
file save as > save a copy in 08 format
or purchase Keynote 09

Keynote files revert back to 3.0.2.

Every time I save my keynote files they revert back to iWork '06 version (3.0.2).
I've already read "Topic : Keynote 3.03 and 4.01" and it does nothing, I've tried on different files, everything.
When I try to associate the file with 4.0.2 it recognizes it. The only way it will keep it is if I manually change every file. And if I change or re-save it, I have to do it again. I don't want to do this with every file, every time.
When I tell it to open all files with 4.0.2 I get this message: "Are you sure you want to change all similar documents to open with the application 'Keynote'? This change will apply to all documents with extention '.key'" When I click contintue - the file reverts back to 3.0.2.
Now every keynote file I have to manually change, after every time I save it.. - Why is it my default? Where did it come from?
Tell me how to fix this, please. PLEASE HELP!!!

Have you tried deleting Keynote version 3 OR renaming version 3 from "Keynote" to "Keynote 3"?

Keynote 2.02 cannot open PowerPoint .pps or ppt file.

Hi, using keynote 2.0.2 I tried to open a PowerPoint file that originally had the .pps filename. This file was downloaded from an education site that stated that the latest edition of PowerPoint was needed to view this file. My version of PowerPoint is 2004 for Mac and I am unable to open it using my PP version, so the originating file must have been made using a later version.
I changed the filename to .ppt and tried to open it from within Keynote, but wasn't able to. Is there a solution to this dilemma?

(I forgot to write this and waited too long, so I cannot edit my post above.)
I wrote that both links refer to the same file. That's wrong as a second try showed. The file downloaded from the first link cannot be opend after renaming neither with Powerpoint nor with Keynote.
The file from the second link can be opened after renaming. However, there are some problems opening the file in Keynote. Keynote complains
* rotated or flipped title and body placeholders are not supported. Placeholders were imported without being rotated or flipped.
* re-ordered animations on an object are not supported. Animations were imported sequentially.
* some fonts are missing
So, the file will definitely look different to the original file.

Downloaded but can't install - keep getting an error message because I never upgraded Keynote to 9.0, just pages and numbers

Downloads but can't install the upgrade because I never upgraded Keynote, just Keynote and Numbers so I keep getting the error message about Keynote, which I don't use. I just want to upgrade Pages and Numbers.

If you purchased Pages and Numbers from the MAS:
