Keynote app grayed out and can't be opened

After updating the app, the installed app does not open up now.
The only way to open it, is to go to the App Store and open it. It was an installed app and I can't even delete it now. What surprised me is that it was a free app and now it charges an amount. This is disappointing from Apple.

  • "app is damaged and can't be opened" message

    I have a problem with a Java application I made using Jar Bundler and then a disk image using Disk Utility. (I did this when I was still using Lion on this computer.)  The dmg file was uploaded to a server for students to download.   Everything works as expected on all Mac OS except Mountain Lion, where the disk image mounts, but the app cannot be run, (whether double-clicking or right-clicking and choosing Open), producing the message:
    “xxx.app” is damaged and can’t be opened.
    On Lion, I get a message warning me that it is a file downloaded from the Internet, but I can still choose to open it.  But on Mountain Lion, the message is that it (the app) is damaged.  Interestingly, I used my other Lion computer on my network to log in to my MountainLion (10.8.4) computer to access the same dmg file and mount it and run the app without problem. I also tried the opposite, downloading the file on the Lion computer (where it works fine) and logging in from the Mountain Lion computer to mount the dmg, but I get the same "damaged" dialog, with no option to open it.
    What is Mountain Lion doing?  How can I get around this? I need students to be able to download this and run it on their computers, and a good many use Mountain Lion.  Any ideas what is happening?

    I found the solution since I have been having the same problem. The error message really needs to be updated to give a better indication of how to resolve the issue.
    Apparently, Gatekeeper is the cause of the problem. Here is how to fix it.

  • All menus gone, restore is grayed out and can't activate - HELP!

    I am unable to restore any menus whatsoever. No address bar, no bookmarks bar, nothing.
    I tried right clicking in top bar to restore, but the Restore option is grayed out and does nothing when I click it.
    I've deleted and reinstalled Safari three times, but each time it comes back without menus.
    Anyone have any idea what I can do?
    Thanks -
    Cyndy

    What do you suggest do rectify the Owner account version of Safari? I forgot to mention that it was my fault that the menu bars disappeared in the first place - basically I clicked on Hide Menu Bar, Hide Toolbar etc!
    Not your fault, Julian ... if the wee coggy thing is gone, you can't get them back, and you couldn't be expected to have anticipated that.
    Okay. I've installed Safari 4.0.4 on the wife's Vista laptop, and therefore may have less than three hours to live. So I'd better tell you this now ...
    *Experimentation suggests the following technique is the one we should try on Vista with Julian*
    Log back in to your usual account. Quit Safari if you have it open. Just to be on the safe side, make sure iTunes and/or QuickTime are closed too.
    First go "Start > Computer". While you're in "Computer", go "Tools > Folder Options". Click the "View" tab. Make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected. Click OK.
    Open your C drive. Open "Users". Open the folder that has the username of your account. Open "AppData". Open "Roaming". Open "Apple Computer". Open "Preferences".
    Find the "com.apple.safari" file. Drag it out onto your Desktop.
    Now launch Safari. (This will rebuild the com.apple.safari file.)
    Do you have the wee coggy thing back?

  • Function is grayed-out and can't be controlled when I try to create a mouseover

    I am working on a very simple animation where I have an image that is supposed to have a mouseover effect. When I click on Open Action everything is fine and the same is true for when I choose mouseover.
    However, when I try to insert a "play" or "play form" action the code comes in grayed-out and I can't edit them (add a label for instance).
    Please explain to me why this is happening. I was able to do this earlier today on another document, but I can't do it again and I am wracking my brains out.
    Attached image so it might help you.
    Amit

    Hi Amit,
    Have you selected the symbol you want to apply the snippet to? That's in the Pick a Target section on the right. From there, you could click the Stage, or on another symbol to select it.
    Then press the Enter key and the snippet should be applied in the code field.
    hth,

  • Agents grayed out and can't add or remove - UCCX 7.0

    I upgraded an IPCC Standard implementation from 4.0(5) to 7.0(1) SR5 UCCX using the DMT tool.  The upgraded UCCX works fine but I have one issue.  In Tools > Users the agents are all grayed out and agents can't be added or removed.  The customer originally had IPCC standard on the old version which resulted in the loss of CAD on the 7.x version.  After the upgrade the customer obtained a temporary enhanced license so that they could use CAD rather than the IP phone agent and they will eventually add a permanent enhanced license.  Even before the enhanced license was added, the agents were grayed out in the user menu and no one could be added or removed.  Does anybody know what could be causing this and how to resolve it?

    Yeah, after I posted the question I started thinking that maybe when you add the users IPCC extension in the CUCM user menu it would add it here so I was reading the admin guide for 7.x UCCX and I found that is the case.  The customer that I just upgraded states that he could remove agents in the user management window on his old 4.x IPCC.  I can't remember if that was the case or not.  Thanks for the response!

  • NAS drives grayed out and can't connect to other Macs

    Hello All,
    After upgrading my 15-inch, Mid 2010 MacBook Pro to Mavericks (10.9 13A603) my NAS storage drives are grayed out in Finder. I can't go directly to my NAS drive in Finder. I can't simply click on the NAS drives in Finder and see what is in the directory. The directories are grayed out!.
    In order for me to connect to my NAS stotage drive I have to go to "DEVICES" on the leftside of the Finder window and then click on the MacBook Pro HD. From there I have to click on "Network." From "Network" I can get a slow connection to my NAS.
    As for as connection to other Macs in my office, I have to take the same steps above. I can't connect directly to the other Macs in my office in Finder. Nether can the other Macs connect to other Macs! All Macs in the office are set up to allow both AFP and SMB. However, one lonely 2009 iMac in our office is still on Mountian Lion and it can connect to other Macs and the our NAS without problems.
    One strange things this, I can do a Screen Share to the other Macs from my 2010 MacBook Pro! I can't connect directly in Finder, but I can do a Screen Share. Strange!
    Is there a fix for this or was Marverick let out the jungle to earily?
    Help! and Thanks!

    I forgot to add that everything was previously connected via an Airport express wireless system. I just got an Airport Extreme system which hasn't changed things a bit.

  • Extensions grayed out and can't access plug-ins

    I've used the water mark plug-in before and it worked just fine but now when I go to window>extensions, the "extensions" are grayed out.
    Macbook pro 17" with OS X 10.6.4.
    Photoshop 12.01, mode RGB, 8-bit/channel.
    Watermark 2.0.6. (2.0.5 didn't show up so I loaded the newer version before I noticed extension were grayed out)
    The plug-ins are listed under "about plug-ins"
    I use Font Agent Pro4.140 and installed the plug-in for Photoshop.
    Extensions manager shows Watermar installed.
    There is no Extensions Manager under "Help" in Photoshop.
    I have no idea what to do to get to my plug-ins.

    It took me all day to fix this problem but right now the extensions are visible again.
    Deleting Photoshop preferences didn't fix it.
    Uninstalling Photoshop and then re-installing didn't work.
    So I uninstalled the complete CS5 suite and hope that I got rid of everything before reinstalling the whole suite. I applied updates, installed plug-ins and it now works. What a pain. I am not very happy. I've never had to do this before and I would really like to know what turned the extension off so I don't have to go through this again. Now I am ready to personalize my short cut keys, etc.

  • Purchased song grayed out and can not delete

    I purchase a song and received a permission error. I clicked OK and assumed the download completed. I then purchase another song. There was no error message. Both songs appear in my Music and Purchase folders but the first song is grayed out with an exclamation mark in the first column. I tried to download it again and received a warning message saying I had already downloaded it and a second download would result in a duplicate. I tried to delete the grayed out download and could not.

    No available downloads under Store>Check for Available Downloads, but I found a "Download" folder under the "Store" folder. Clicked on that and selected resume and the download completed. The Downloaded folder the disappeared. All is well.

  • Error Message says Preview is damaged and can't be opened.

    Whenever I try to open a file associated with Preview by double-clicking the file I get the following error message...
    If I open Preview first and then open the same file from within Preview it works fine. I've tried going into Info for various filetypes and changing the "Open with:" value to change it to something else then change it back to Preview but that doesn't change the behavior. As you can see in the error message it says "Acorn created this file on August 27, 2014"... no idea what that means. I tried deleting the Acorn app but get the same error message.
    Never seen this before and can't find anything specific to this behavior with Preview on these discussions or on the Web. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers!

    Hi MBP_Kirk ,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I know this type of alert can be concerning and frustrating. There is some troubleshooting that I would suggest when you receive an error that an app is damaged and can’t be opened, however. The first attached article explains this alert and the possible cause.
    OS X: About Gatekeeper - Apple Support
    "Damaged" app. – The app has been altered by something other than the developer. This message will appear no matter the Gatekeeper option chosen.
    "App name" is damaged and can't be opened. You should move it to the Trash.
    Safari downloaded this file on Date & Time from URL.
    For troubleshooting this situation, I would first recommend simply reinstalling OS X Yosemite on your computer. Please use the instructions located in the next attached article to complete this process.
    OS X Yosemite: Reinstall OS X
    Best regards,
    Joe

  • Anyone know why I can't edit my app screen when I plug in my 3g iphone now?  I can edit all the other tabs, but my app tab is all grayed out and I can't add/edit any apps now.  Please help?

    Just last week, I plugged in my iphone 3g into iTunes and for some reason I can't edit my apps anymore.  All the other tabs (music, video, etc.) are all fine, but my apps tab/screen is all grayed out.  I can't edit any of my apps now.  What's the deal?  I can't seem to find anything similar on the support pages, so I'm desperate to find out what the deal is...please help!

    Yes, it's checked as it's how I left it when I was able to edit the page before...now the whole tab is just grayed out and I can't check or uncheck anything. Nothing happens. So frustrated...thanks for any help or suggestions.  I have multiple devices on my account and this is the only one that this is happening with when I connect to iTunes. Ugh!

    If my phone service is disconnected, can I still use the number to iMessage? Under my setting in iMessages it only allows me to select my linked emails and the telephone number is there but grayed out and i can't seletect it ! It wont activate. I just recentely got AT&T.  When I had verizon before and my phone got disconnected it allowed me to still iMessage off my number.

    If your phone service is disconnected, it's not your number any more.
    If you "just got AT&T", how can it be disconnected?
