Keynote can't open specific keynote files

I have the recurring problem that Keynote is not able to open the files it created. It seems to be related to using specific line types.
I can work with the presentation a while and then the time to load the file will extend and extend and finally keynote won't open the file at all with the unhelpful message, that it can't open the file :-(
An example of such a file is here: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/3096725/images_20120817.key
Any idea what is going on here and how to deal with the issue?
Stefan

A number of users have cured this problem by removing Keynote and reinstalling, so I would give that a try.
Use search or an application uninstaller such as the free Appcleaner to locate all the Keynote files on your Machine and then delete them.

  • Keynote, can you open / view keynote files / attachments?

    Does anyone know if Keynote attachments can be viewed by the iPhone....

    we are implementing  BusinessObjects 4.0 and in the process of documenting road map for promotion. BusinessObjects does not have Import Wizard so we will be using LCM for all our promotions.
    Since we are not able to determined whats inside the biar files by looking at the binary files, is there any way using LCM we can figure out whats laying inside the Biar file? before doing the promotion.
    I am assuming if its not possible than we are basically trusting the developer, and need to keep good documentation of this process?

  • Keynote can't open iCloud files

    When I try to open some files, which I've uploaded to iCloud before, Keynote fails to do so with this error:
    Can’t open file “ASSN(Nov2011)”.
    I also found the local copies of these files at ~/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~Keynote/Documents/. When I try to copy and paste these files on my desktop, Finder complains:
         “ASSN(Nov2011)” cannot be converted. Please install a newer version of iWork.
    Well I have just updated Keynote to version 5.3 (1170), before trying to open these files in the first place. So is this a bug with this release or what?
    Lastly, attached is the screenshot for the Info of the local copy of the file which I can't seem to open.
    By the way Keynote for iOS can't open the problematic files either...
    Is there anyone else having a similar issue with the new Keynote release?

    danesker, I strongly recommend sending these information to Apple iWork Team <[email protected]>
    - UserID for account
    - Filenames of documents with issues
    - OS versions for desktop and iOS devices
    - Version of iWork apps
    - Were there recent OS or app upgrades installed?
    - Were both the iOS and OS X apps updated when this occurred?
    - On each device, do you have multiple iCloud accounts setup for Mail, Contacts & Calendars?
    - Under Settings > iCloud - Is Documents & Data set to On?
    - If you go to the website www.icloud.com, are you able to download your documents?
    They have reached me in one week after I post this message and requested me to submit these.
    But since by that time I have already deleted the related files I guess they could not be able to debug the problem.
    So just stay the file as it is and let the Apple team handle it.
    I hope this helps...

  • Keynote can't open file because it is damaged

    I've created several presentations in Keynote 09 that worked fine initially but suddenly won't open anylonger. When I click on the file, I get the following error message:
    "Keynote can't open file because [filename] is damaged"
    I was able to open two of the 3 affected presentations by opening them through File =>Open recent, then resaving them as a Keynote 08 file.
    This lead me to think that maybe double-clicking the file to open it doesn't work and opening it through File =>Open does. Indeed, one of my Keynote 09 files that didn't open on double-click and generated the error message opened just fine when opening it though the application file menu.
    I tried this on the other 09 files but that trick doesn't work anylonger. It seems to be totally random. The same file will open at times (through File -> open), but not at others. I'm at a loss here.
    I was able to resave all 3 files to Keynote 08 and am able to open all of them now, but the problem I'm sure will persist with new presentations I create in 09. Any suggestions?
    Maybe a directory problem? Anybody run into the same problem yet?
    I have a feeling I'll br throwing 09 out the window and going back to the old version of Keynote.

    I have had similar issues with KY '09. After working on a file over a few days, a message pops up saying it can not be saved. It created a backup copy that was saved so no work was lost. However, the original file is gone and only the backup remains. I can save it as a different name and go back to work but get the same issue.
    This is a 10 slide keynote with mostly text and a couple images. *** did they do in this version. I too will probably revert as I work at a school that just purchased a site license for iWork '09 and iLife '09.
    I am still testing the export of a recorded keynote to QT as my first export did not include the audio which was a problem in KY'08 and QT version 7.6 I believe.

  • Can I open iPad keynote and iPad pages on a PC Microsoft word and a PC Microsoft PowerPoint? also the other way around?

    Can I open iPad keynote and iPad pages on a PC Microsoft word and a PC Microsoft PowerPoint? also the other way around?

    Yes. You can export iPad Pages and Keynote files as Word and PowerPoint files and you can upload/transfer/email Word and PowerPoint files to the iPad and work on them in Pages and Keynote.
    Be advised that there will be some degree of formatting issues and also that the iOS versions of Pges and Keynote do not the full functionality of Word and PowerPoint on a computer.

    Alas, you can't.
    You can open nearly all of them. Pages will open AppleWorks 6 Word Processing documents but not AppleWorks 5 ones.
    Word Processing documents can be opened directly only in Pages.
    Draw Documents can be opened directly only in EazyDraw (the more expensive version from their website, not the cheaper one from the Mac App Store, and you will need v4.0 'Retro' not the most recent version) or Intaglio (though this appears not to be able to handle very complex drawings). (It's possible to copy Draw documents into a Word Processing document in order to open them in Pages, but you need AppleWorks to do this in the first place.)
    Spreadsheets can be opened directly only in Numbers.
    Presentations can be opened directly only in Keynote.
    Nothing will open AppleWorks databases or Paint documents: the only way to access them is to open them in AppleWorks and export.

  • Can't open any excel files after installing Snow Leopard

    I can't open any excel files after installing Snow Leopard. Is anyone else having this problem?
    I have a standard iWork '08 install. Has anyone experienced? And better yet, know of a fix?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    Most users who have had a problem opening Office files with the iWork apps after upgrading to Snow Leopard have the problem fixed by updating to the latest versions. For iWork '08 that is Pages 3.0.3 & Numbers 1.0.3. For iWork '09 it's Pages 4.0.2 & Numbers 2.0.2. I don't use Keynote, but it should also be updated. If you're not running the latest versions & Software Update says your software is up to date, make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn't have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. They must be in the iWork '08 or iWork '09 folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork '08 or iWork '09. If it doesn't have the '08 or '09 Software Update won't find them & the updaters won't work.

  • Hello, I have transferred my Acrobat XI Pro from old MAC to the new one. After the transfer can not open any PDF file. Any idea how to solve this?

    Hello, I have transferred my Acrobat XI Pro from old MAC to the new one. After the transfer can not open any PDF file. Any idea how to solve this?

    Hey ilyaz20360341,
    Could you please specify how exactly did you transfer Acrobat from one MAC to other.
    You might need to deactivate the software from your old machine and then activate it on the new one with the same serial number (for Acrobat license) or Adobe credentials (for Acrobat subscription).
    If you have done the same way, then let me know if you are able to open Acrobat itself.
    Do you get any specific error message while opening a PDF?
    Hope to get your response.
    Regards,
    Anubha

  • Nikon D800 can't open all RAW-files ending .NEF

    Got a Nikon D800 and can't open all RAW-files ending .NEF Most of them no problem, but some I just can't.
    "Could not complete your request because the file appears to be from a camera model" Thats not wight cause I can open like 90% of my .NEF files :/
    Got latest Camera Raw (6.7)..Help please:/

    Because many of the camera makers slightly alter their versions of their raw format whenever they release a new camera model.
    Nikon does it, Canon does it, and also several other camera makers.
    There is not a single version of NEF that all Nikon cameras use, nor a single version of CR2 for all Canon models.
    Here is a list of supported cameras and the required ACR plugin needed to open the raw files.
    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    Versions of ACR are specific to each version of Photoshop.
    Older versions of PS cannot use the latest version of ACR.
    You need to download the latest version of Adobe DNG Converter.
    This will convert your newer D800 files to DNGs that can then be opened in older versions like CS5.
    Be aware DNG only works on folders of files, not individual files. Select the FOLDER not a single file

  • I can't open my pdf files.

    I recently installed Adobe Reader XI on my Windows XP system.In order to create more hard disk space I then unistalled Adobe Acrobat 5.0 and Adobe Air. Now I can't open any pdf files. Q. What should I do ?
    Rainbow_1934

    I see I have been corrected there is so much conflicting on Adobe websites. In one place I read specifically,  that XI only works Windows 7 and above. and Yet here I find out that if XP is properly Updated it works just fine.  So next time a Reader question comes up I will just send them to Reader forum. 
    I wish when Adobe puts out information, and then find out, well maybe it does after all. They remove the old information and update it. 
    Adobe  though is not the only company that does this. To a degree all software companies do so. They put out information say it won't work here or works there. But then later on find out yes it does, or no it doesn't. And they leave the bogus information out for people to trip over. It seems it’s a test to see whether people read the notes to begin with. If a enough people don't pay attention they won't provide them.

  • How can I open a cc2014 file in my cs6 version of Indesign ?

    How can I open a cc2014 file in my cs6 version of Indesign ?
    I have several files that has been saved in a cc2014 version and I can't open them in my CS6 version of Indesign.
    I don t have access to anyone who have the cc 2014 version to convert the file.
    How can I do it from my cs6 version?
    THANKS!

    You can't do it from CS6.
    You have to export to IDML from InDesign CC2014 (or whatever the version it was created in) and then open the IDML in the earlier versoin of InDesign.
    All explained in the FAQ on the main forum page.

  • I can't open a pdf file since updating to firefox 4.0. I have foxit reader installed and it worked before. Adobe is not compatible with Firefox. What do I need to do. I need to file my income tax online and can't because of this issue

    Just can't open any pdf files. Having no luck trying to fix myself.

    For Firefox users, there might be a built in pdf viewer, or a preferred viewer that handles pdf files.
    I am not having any trouble logging in, so lets try this:
    * Remove any cookies from the cache: [[Delete cookies to remove the information websites have stored on your computer]]
    *[[Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings]] if there is stored user data that is removed in this process: [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]

  • Why i can't open my raw file in adobe photoshop cs6... and i use camera Canon 650D

    why i can't open my raw file?

    You probably need to update your Camera Raw plug-in for CS6 to something new enough to understand the 650D raw files.
    The usual way you’d do this would be Help / Updates in PS.
