Keynote duplicate never works

Keynote is so painful to work in ever since I upgraded to Lion. The biggest mistake I could have ever made.
I work on large press event presentations and need to save a different version when changes are made.
Sadly since save as is no longer available I guess duplicate is my only resort but it nevers works.
Why change something that works, is simple and intuitive?
And yes I select Get Info and unlock the file.
Keynote acts like every file I work in has never been saved. And it is so painfully slow. I get the spinning wheel for every little change I make.
Is there any help in sight or do I have to revert to SL?

Just got off the phone with Apple and finally have a fix for the issue.
You have to reset the ACLS (Access Control List)
Shut down computer.
On start up select command & R keys
Select terminal - type in all one word "restpassword"
(New window opens to set permissions.)
Select HD
Go to bottom of window
Reset Home Folder Permissions and ACLS
Hope that helps everyone else that is having the same issue.

  • I made a keynote then saved it to a flash drive. When I tried to open the keynote on another computer using the flash drive t says, "keynote quit unexpectedly". I have tried multiple times but it never worked. Please help, thanks

    Yes, the Old Master file has a folder for each year where I find all photos from that specific year. I am attaching a screen shot of the file.
    In the meantime i have managed to download all photos (it did not download any video files though in mpg, avi, 3gp, m4v,mp4 and mov format) to a new iphoto library. Unfortunately the photos are quite mixed and often doubled up. I ma considering to purchase iphoto library which checks all duplicates in iphoto. this will save me a lot of time. What do you think?

  • Selection tool only duplicates - never moves

    I have a macbook pro running mountain lion 10.8.2
    I am running the trial version of Flash CS6 version 10.0.0.481
    If I drag an object with the  selection tool, it always duplicates, never moves.  Hitting fn, control, option, cmd has no effect.
    Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
    I found another guy on the forum with the same problem, He thinks it was related to Air Display.  I killed the Air Display process, made no difference.  He also says it worked when logged in using guest account, did not work for me. 
    Thanks in advance

    OK, I came up with something.
    Save this as MoveSafely.jsfl in a directory you can look up for your OS in the Commands folder
    var doc = fl.getDocumentDOM();
    var sel = doc.selection[0];
    doc.duplicateSelection();
    sel.selected = false;
    doc.deleteSelection();
    doc.mouseClick({x:sel.x, y:sel.y}, false, true);
    Then in the Commands menu MoveSafely should be available in Flash.
    Generate a custom Keyboard set (its best to duplicate the Adobe Standard, so all your other Shortcuts remain intact) under ->Edit->KeyboardShortcuts and assign a shortcut (I used ^) to the MoveSafely command
    Now when you click on an element on the stage, hold the mouse down and click on your shortcut.
    Start dragging and report back if you can move the original without having to deal with clones.

  • Flash movies made in keynote are not working in firefox

    I have just finished a 65 page iwebsite at
    www.acendedmasterscards.com
    it is a card reading with a flash movie - made in
    keynote for each card. It looks beautiful in
    Safari but in firefox I get a blank white bit
    instead of the movie. Help! I would also love
    comments on the site! Karen.

    I join in the other's congratulations as your site is wonderful. I really enjoy it and I have bookmarked it that I too can post a link to it when I get to an appropriate place in my web building. I will inform you of it.
    I really like what you did with flash and I was trying to do something similar using keynote but I was exporting to a podcast instead of flash and it was never working right. I now thanks to you might try to do it in flash.
    As far as the other browsers are concerned you might ask the question on the keynote forum as well perhaps one of the experts there will have another idea as to why it does not work. In the mean time keep positive thoughts and perhaps safari will become the new ie since it has been released to windows.
    Thanks for sharing

  • My Apple TV does not work and has never worked.

    My Apple TV does not work and has never worked. I replaced it twice and replaced my router and DSL modem but no luck. I spent hours on tech support with both apple and my ISPs with no luck. Any ideas? Is the Apple TV a donation to apple? I have had the device for 8 months but it will not work for longer than 15 minutes before it drops with network errors. All of my other devices work perfectly on the network including 2 iPads, laptops and an old wii. I love apple products and this is the first real disappointment I have had. The Apple TV seems like a major dud of a product.

    Seems unlikely you have had two faulty replacements, and more likely that there may be some network compatibility issue or problem with reception in the location the AppleTV lies - anything close to it that might be interfering?
    I am assuming you are connected via wifi - if you can try an ethernet connection to rule wifi issues out.
    Could you try it at somone else's house maybe?  If it worked there it would point to something specific at your location.
    You could try replacing it again I guess or seeing if they can offer you credit or a refund.

  • Why am I being billed for equipment that never worked from the get go, and that your representatives admitted never connected to the computer on your end?

    In September my husband and I were planning a cross country move and we thought that having a Jet Pack to go on line with while we were traveling would be a good idea. When we ordered it we told the representative that we did not need it until the 1st of Oct. as that was when we would be leaving. It arrived on our door on Sept 9th with the instructions to be sure and activate it within 2 weeks or we would lose the line. On the 19th we called in the activation and everything appeared fine. We hit the road on the 1st and Nothing, Na-Da, Zip, Zilch .... The equipment never worked from the get go! We called Verizon from the road on the 4th of Oct. to find out what was going on and the representative told us that the problem was with the computer on Verizon's end. We shut the equipment off for the rest of our trip and called for a refund on the 13th of Oct. We spoke to a representative named Juan, who again confirmed that it was Verizon's computer that had been the problem,  and we were assured that all fee's associated with the Jet Pack would be waived as the equipment never worked in the 1st place. He told us all we needed to do was return the broken equipment and that he would send us a return label. We received the return label and sent the equipment back on the 22nd of Oct. On our next bill no credits of any kind had been applied? We promptly picked up the phone and called Verizon again, on Oct 31st,  to find out what was going on? This time we spoke to Lou Ann. After about an hour and a half she finally managed to remove the fee's, or so we thought, and we hung up satisfied. On 11/5 our Nov. bill arrived again with no credits of any kind. We thought maybe the billing cycle hadn't had time to catch up with our most recent conversation so we called just to verify. This time we spoke to Moncheria. She did not understand what had happened and had to reenter the same refund that Lou Ann had earlier. Again another hour and a half on the phone. Today,11/28, we received our most recent bill and again no credits of any kind??? We picked up the phone and called again. This time we explained to Christian, (the above story), and she put us on the phone with her supervisor Carson. Carson proceeded to tell us that ALL of the previous representatives we had spoken to were wrong and that since we had not returned the equipment within 14 days of receiving it that we were beyond the limits of the refund policy, (which means we would have had to return it before we left on our trip), and the best she could do was offer us coupons for the future to offset THEIR mistake! No thank you I will keep my cash in my pocket!
    1st of all we ordered it for the 1st of Oct. not for 9th of Sept.
    Secondly we were told to be sure and activate it within 14 days or we would lose the line, never any mention of a refund time limit. (Who buys stuff anticipating an immediate refund?)
    And 3d THE EQUIPMENT NEVER WORKED IN THE 1ST PLACE!!
    Now Verizon is asking for $343.34 in fee's for something that never worked in the 1st place!! This is ridiculous and those fee's are defiantly under dispute! The way I see it trying to hold me to a contract that Verizon breached by sending out faulty equipment is just wrong!

  • I updated my macbook pro, received may 2011 and now iTunes, iPhoto, and keynote won't work. What should I do?

    In May 2011, I received my macbook pro. I updated it a while ago. When I tried to open iTunes it wouldn't work, so I deleted it from my computer and downloaded it again. The same thing happened with iPhoto, but I couldn't find a download for it. And now Keynote isn't working...What should I do?

    Here are some suggestions for getting the best results from this site.
    Create a user profile that accurately reflects your version of the Mac OS, or include that information in your first message.
    Give details of the problem. A statement such as "it doesn't work" conveys no information. If it did work, you wouldn't be here. Instead, you should post something like this: "I did A; I was expecting B; but I got C instead." Include the complete text of any error messages you saw and where you saw them: in an application window, a CrashReporter window, a log, or whatever. Also include the steps you’ve taken yourself, if any, to try to resolve the issue. If the problem is of recent origin, did you make any changes to your setup just before you first noticed it? Is the problem reproducible or intermittent? That is, does it always manifest itself when you take a certain action, or only at unpredictable times?
    Before posting, ask yourself whether it’s likely that you are the the only person ever to have had this problem. If not, search the discussions for answered questions similar to yours. If you found any relevant information, but it didn't help, include details.
    Post in the appropriate discussion area. Usually that means the area for the type of Mac you're using, if the problem is hardware-related, or for the Mac OS version you’re running, if it’s more software-related. Some other Apple technologies -- including iPhoto, iTunes, and Keynote -- have their own discussion areas.

  • ITunes says it needs to upgrade but the download never works. What's wrong?

    One day I got on iTunes to put some music on my iPod Nano (one of the older versions), and always before when I plugged it in and came up and said it was plugged in, but then it didn't recognize it! This went on for several months, me never being able to put more music on my iPod.
    Finally I got the newest Nano for my birthday and I figured it'd work, but the same problem is going on! I've had the brand new iPod for 3 months and it doesn't have ANY music on it!
    It does come up and ask if I want to download a newer version of iTunes, that it needs that one to work right (version 8.2 something I think). I go to download it, it takes a while, and then comes up and says the download was unsuccessful, I've tried about 30 times, and it never works.
    What is going on?

    Instead of trying to update iTunes +from within iTunes+, go to Apple's page where you can download the iTunes 8.2.1 installation file -- save the file, don't run it direct from the download. Once downloaded to your computer, then run the installation file.
    If that does not fix the problem, then remove the following software from your computer (you won't lose your music): iTunes, Quicktime, and something called "Apple Mobile Device Services". Once you remove those programs, then run the iTunes installer file (from above) again. That will install all three of these programs and should fix your problem.

  • Hello, I just got an iPhone 4S and it seems that the bluetooth function in it doesn't work. I tried few times to pair it to other non Apple phones and it never worked. Does anyone has an idea how to solve the problem? Tks.

    Hello, I just got an iPhone 4S and it seems that the bluetooth function in it doesn't work. I tried few times to pair it to other non Apple phones but it never worked. Does anyone has an idea how to solve the problem? Tks.

    This is not a feature of iPhone, iPad or iOS.
    Bluetooth is supported for stereo headsets/speakers, handsfree telephone
    devices/headsets, some keyboards, some peer-to-peer apps from the
    app store and internet tethering where provided by the carrier.
    Other than this it will not connect to a phone/computer/device.  (thanks to ckuan for the wording)

  • Hello, can anyone tell me how to share my home macbook pro to my imac in the office? I tried file sharing but never worked for me...appreciate if anyone can help!

    I should have added to my posting (instead of using this "reply" -  it is the server passwork it is asking for and I have never known that I had one and assumed it was the passwork I always used for this type of thing.

  • TS2634 I bought a ipad back in December and the ear buds never worked.  The sound doesnt come out of what you put in your ear but comes out of the little hole on the outside of the ear buds.  Is this supposed to be this way?

    The earbuds that came with my ipad have never worked.  They have sound that comes out of the outside hole of the earbuds.  When you put them in your ears no sound can be heard.  Has this been a problem or did mine just come broken?

    I have the same problem and it has just started in the last day or so...
    Got the phone late July and then in the last day, everytime I plug into PC or take a photo,  I get the same "Disk Error / Retry message"
    What is interesting is that I always had the Photo Storage location as the Memory Card (detachable).   Seems odd that sometime in the last month or so the phone decided to change my setting to the Mass Memory. Might have been an firmware update that I have done in the past but not sure.
    Changing the Photo Storage Location back to the Memory Card has stopped the error coming up everytime a Photo wastaken, but the message continues when I plug in the phone to the PC.
    Phone was just updated to latest firmware this morning and that has not helped, although during the back-up process I could not save some files from the Mass Memory.
    I wonder if Optus will shout a new phone because their technicians are useless with past experiences and to be honest the N97 really promises so much but offers very little compared to all of my last Nokia's.

  • Network Extender has never worked

    We received a network extender from Verizon due to the lack of coverage in the area we live - too far from a tower.
    I have tried every weekend to get this thing going and I always get a solid blue power light, solid blue wan light a SLOW BLINKING RED SYSTEM LIGHT and a solid magenta GPS light.
    I tried calling Verizon for support but the tech rep didn't know what to do and was trying to read through the manual, I think and the call dropped after about an hour (back to the lack of coverage issue).  I was so tired of not getting anywhere that I just let it go for the evening.
    Bottom line is - this thing has never worked.  All I can find is that a slow red blinking light is there is an abnormal condition. 
    Is there any further troubleshooting I can do or do I just need to see if Verizon can send me another one?

    Update  -  now I have a solid red GPS light & the slow blinking red SYS light.  Will let it sit for an hour (as the sticker on the side suggests) and see if there's any difference

  • I bought a Iphone 4S in Colombia two months ago, It never work properly, I cant put turn it on.  When I went to Movistar they told me that it was a problem with the software.  Now, they have the Iphone for repair.

    I bought a Iphone 4S in Colombia two months ago, It never worked properly, I cant put turn it on.  When I went to Movistar they told me that it was a problem with the software.  Now, they have the Iphone for repair at Movistar.  The questios is, If I bought a NEW Iphone why they gave me a Iphone with this problem.  I asked about the warranty but they told me that Apple doesn't respond.  Please tell me something.  The IMEI is: 013071008363505 is a Iphone 4S  16GB.  Black.

    I would guess the fan is the cause of the noise. Suggest you take a look at it.
    This site has a wealth of information about getting inside a Macbook or Macbook Pro.

  • Apple tv 2 never works for me

    I spent hours on the phone to apple support when I bought the apple tv 6 months ago and it never worked unless plugged into my modem in the office directly. It seems to be something to do with the wireless network.... however, everything else on our 4 computers works well wirelessly. We never saw one film on this device and gave up. My laptop downloads films in itunes easily.... but not on the apple tv box. I should add it does play u-tube and previews..
    Is this something to do with being in Australia and having little support for our wireless protocols here ?
    Anyway...
    After 6 months still unused, I have just updated ( 2 updates since my last attempt to watch a film), and guess what... the apple TV does not work. I choose film and go through to the final stage where it says that it can not find my account / password ! It asks me to go to iforgot.apple etc... however, I have not forgotten my password... it just doesn't work.
    Extremely frustrating as we'd really like to watch a film tonight and again are left to watch rubbish tv...
    We expect something that is so simple ( just streams video) to work easily but it seems troubleshooting and alot of time investigating is required to get this little sucker to work. Have I got preferences set somewhere in Apple land that is stopping films to download?
    Not happy.

    I've had similar issues in the UK with my ATV. I am able to stream photos and music from any of the other devices around the house, via wi-fi to it, but movies have been hit and miss. We have had 3 that have stopped during playback, telling us it will be another 1 1/2 hrs before it has loaded. We have ended up trying the following:
    Resetting the ATV
    Restoring it to factory settings
    Trying different wi-fi channels
    Using Ethernet (it's about a foot away)
    Downloading movies way in advance of watching them
    Our wi-fi signal is full strength with an average rate of 9.8MB and I don't have issues with drop-outs or impaired performance on any other device as far as I know. I've had to resume movies by renting them again on our Virgin Media service and get refunds from the iTunes store...
    It's been really frustrating, but speaking to experts in my local Apple store and finally, Applecare, it appears that I may have a rogue unit. I'm sending it back for them to check as it is still under warranty.
    Maybe you have similar?
