Keynote 6.1 won't open an old files.

I just bought Keynote 6.1 (and installed Maverick to run it) and have found that it won't open old files created with version 4.something.  It tells me to save them with Keynote 09 which I don't have and can't buy.  On the face of it, it looks like I can't use any of my hundred - odd Keynote presentations with the new version, which means not with the iPad either.  Any ideas?

This would need to be posted in the Keynnote forum.  Not the Macbook hardware questions forum.

  • Numbers 13 won't open my old files from Numbers 08 unless I first save them to 09 which I don't have. How can I resolve this?

    I have been using Numbers 08 on my early 2008 Mac Pro 2.8Ghz, 8 core and have have 5 years of documents in that format. I skipped Numbers 09 and when Numbers 13 wasn't available free like Pages 13 and Aperture 3, presumably because they were the immediatly previous upgrades, I bought Numbers 13. However it will not open any of my older documents, saying first I have to save them in Numbers 09. How can I resolve this? Will I have to buy Numbers 09 to recover all my documents?

    Then you have two version of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5.x is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '08/'09 is in your Applications/iWork folder.

  • Keynote installed but won't open.

    Keynote installed but won't open.

    Looks like you installed SpellCatcher at one time. Uninstall. I'm not sure about the lastest SpellCatcher release today. Both older versions of SpellCatcher and Unsanity's Application Enhancher causes Keynote to fail to launch successfully.

    Have used Works08..Pages ver.3.0.3...How to open these old files in my new Pages5 app

    You can't. You can install iWork 08 and update but it will only work for iWork documents. You need to have iWork 09 or Pages 09 to read Pages 08 documents.
    Pages 5 can read Pages 09 documents but a lot of them will look messed up as Pages 5 doesn't have all the features that Pages 09 have.
    My advise is use Pages/iWork 08 for you old documents. Pages 5 is only for those who moves/work on documents over iCloud.

  • Adober Reader suddenly won't open any PDF files (Mac)

    I had an old version, I downloaded the latest one, upgraded to the newest, even tried taking that one out and downloading an older version. It doesn't matter which version I seem to have, it won't open any pdf files from the web.
    I use a Mac, and Safari. It used to always load PDF files fine, one random place said I had to update it so I did and since then, lately it'd crash and close all Safari windows when loading a PDF or trying to copy something from a PDF. The smart Mac message I have says it could be related to an Adobe Plug in. However, now it won't even load PDF files at all, it always goes to a white page. Nothing happens.
    What do I do?? I can't even save the PDF's as individual files and view then in Preview as an alternative option. It's a link online and normally would work. What happened??
    HELP!
    I have a Mac OS X Version 10.5.8
    I've always used Safari, it's Version 5.0.5 (5533.21.1 if that means anything).
    Acrobat Reader, currently an old version 9.4.0 download. BUT, I had also the 10.0.1 version which also doesn't work. When I had that 10.0.1 version and checked for updates, there was an update (.3 I think?) and I did that and that also doesn't work!
    Why did it suddenly stop working?
    What can I do to fix it ASAP?
    Only with 9.4.0 version I can go to Help and "Repair Adobe Reader Installation" - I click that and the only box I can select is "Adobe PDFViewer Safari Plugin - View, fill-in and collaborate on Adobe PDFs within Safari"  - I click continue and it tells me there's "No missing components detected. Repairs are not needed." The only option is to click "OK".
    With any newer version of Adobe Reader, under Help there is no option to "Repair Adobe Reader Installation". So... I can't even try that with a new version.
    I am at a loss for solutions. Hope someone here can help! Thanks!

    There are several things you can do. My first step would be to repair permissions. If that doesn't work log on as a different user. If all works properly then you have a corrupt preference file (most likely) or a corrupt user font installed in your user Library (less likely). If that doesn't work download Applejack. Have it repair the disk, remove all system caches and user caches. Then have it check all system and user preference files. Remove any preference files that are corrupt. Reboot and see if your system is working properly.

  • Pages quits when opening an old file

    I just purchased a new Mac Pro and transferred all of my old files from my MacG5. I purchased a new copy of iWorks 06 (Universal). When I opened an old file from Pages (PPC), Pages (Universal) would quit on me. I tried to open an old Keynote file, and Keynote (Universal) would also quit on me. Basically, I am unable to open any of my old Pages or Keynote files that were created with my older Mac G5. Any ideas what's going on here?
    Thanks,
    Mac Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.9)   PPC files will not open in Universal

    I'd suggest first going into the /Library/Preferences folder (the one at the root of your hard drive) and deleting any preference files associated with iWork -- these will be of the form "com.apple.iWork/iWork06/Pages/Keynote.plist". Once this is done, I would re-install iWork '06, and see if the problems is solved.

  • Is there a way to restore photos from Drop box to my desktop iPhoto in a large batch instead of one at a time? I tried and a zip file was downloaded but won't open. Says file format not recognized.

    Is there a way to restore photos from Drop box to my desktop iPhoto in a large batch instead of one at a time? I tried and a zip file was downloaded but won't open. Says file format not recognized. I see how to do it one at a time with the "download" button in Dropbox but that's so cumbersome for lots of photos.

    Have you tried these avenues?

  • Since updating last time Firefox will not open new tabs unless I right click on a link. It won't open them via file or the tab at the top of the brwoser. Anyone know how to fix this?

    Since updating last time Firefox will not open new tabs unless I right click on a link. It won't open them via file or the tab at the top of the brwoser or usinf ctrl + t. Anyone know how to fix this?

    I can press ctrl for a new tab but otherwise a new tab does not open. I actually need help regarding this new Synch which apparently will be in Firefox automatically in an upcoming version so I am asking how that will synch with people who use LastPass-of course because I use this very successfully and really am not eager to change the set up that I have in place at this time.
    I have read through endless FAQ trying to find anyone else who has this question or concern but have found nothing. Can you please tell me how that service will get along with LastPass which does basically the same thing as Synch-it is probably spelled wrong as it looks wrong to me but if I click back to where this issue began, I will lose all of this question so please respond for the upcoming service synch.

  • Keynote 6.2 foes not open any previous files. Even the one created 1 week ago.

    Keynote 6.2 foes not open any previous files. Even the one created 1 week ago.
    I have 2 computers and both gives the same bug.
    Either Keynote says that the file cannot be opened or it crashes.
    What can I do?

    Check you are using the correct version of Keynote to open the files; right click the file and select Open With > Keynote 6.2.

  • How do I open compressed old files to view them before I delete,I have alot of space taken up with these files but I dont know what they are and if they are important.

    I have just started using the computer and have no idea what old compressed files are or if they are important,so I have not deleted any ,and now they are taking up alot of space.

    You should have the old Pages '08 inside the iWork folder, inside your Applications folder.
    Open your old files in Pages '08 > Menu > File > Export > Word
    Pages 5 can then open that Word file.

  • Files on one of my icloud email mailboxes won't open.  No files in the mailbox will open

    Files in one of my icloud mailboxes won't open.  No files in this mailbox open, but other icloud mailboxes do.  Any ideas?

    Thank you. I tried the soft reboot again, and the home button has been working fine this whole time. I have tried deleting the email acct from the settings and the mail app still opens only empty frames. I have a screen shot of it, but don't know how to post it here to be able to show what exactly is happening.
    The mail app will open. I can see the area that usually shows the messages themselves. I can also see the area that usually displays all the accts. Both these areas are completely blank. The search bar is showing on the left hand side, and up on the top right, the download button, reply, delete and compose buttons are showing. At the very bottom left the refresh button is showing. The app sits like that for about 20 seconds and then automatically closes. None of the buttons are responsive. I cannot see any of the email accounts I have in the app (3, usually but 2 at the moment since deleting the acct that seemed to have caused this problem).
    I have force-stopped the app, shut down and restarted the iPad, and rebooted the iPad. None of these have helped.
