Keynote file can not be opened because it is not a valid Keynote document

When opening a, just saved, existing file from my own computer it will not open.
I generetatd the file previously by
duplicatingan existing fil, changing it, renaming it and then replacing it.
I use a Mac Book Po
OSX 10.8.2 Keynote iWork '09
processor 2.66.Ghz intel Core i7

Once again
This is not the first time I've gotten this error message after using iPhoto. Before I post photos online, I edit them in iPhoto. Then, for the ease of uploading, I transfer them all to a folder I create on the desktop, and upload directly from there.
HOw do you do this?
We can try to help but we must know what is going on and what you have done - exactly How are you transferring the photos to a folder?
It doesnt work that way either. Idk why. And I don't want to upload every single picture, just certain ones.
And again - how does it not work?
And using the media browser you select individual photos - you do not have to "upload every single picture"
And now when I click on certain photos to enlarge them in iPhoto, the screen turns black; the picture disappears.
And once again - what does this mean? Does a large ! appear or exactly what happens
Ugh. There seems to be some sort of glitch, but I dont know.
help us out and we can help you -we just are not mind readers
and there are no "glitches" like this in iPhoto - it is probably either user error or a data problem

This message appears whenever I try to open a file downloaded from internet: can't be opened because it was not downloaded from the Mac App Store

Just bought a new Imac OX 10.9. Installed contents from previous Time Machine. All looks good. But, now, when I try to open any file downloaded from interent (like the Amazon mp3 downloader, for example or a plugin update) I get this message:
"XXX can’t be opened because it was not downloaded from the Mac App Store" . Help! Thanks

Got it solved! System preferences, security & privacy icon, general: allow apps downloaded from Mac Store and Identified developers! Phew!

PSD library: extension could not be opened because it is not signed correctly ! what can i do???

PSD CC: extension could not be opened because it is not signed correctly! What can i do???

The black screen can be an indication of permission issues or other things. Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

""Install Adobe Flash Player.app" can't be opened because... not downloaded from the Mac App Store"

I jsut upgraded to 10.9 and it is up to date and also my safari is up to date (no updates available for it). My safari is saying that my flash is out of date. when I follow the links it lets me download but when I double click to install it tell me "“Install Adobe Flash Player.app” can’t be opened because it was not downloaded from the Mac App Store.". When I install the flash UNinstaller and try to install that, it tells me the same. I ALSO found the exact same problem when I tried to install the acrobat installer (some tried to download a pdf and the page told me that my acrobat reader 'might' be out of date). Any thought?

You're running up against the GateKeeper.
Download the offline installer: Flash Player 12.0.0.44 (Mac OS X) by right clicking and choosing "Download Linked File As".
Mount the DMG and when it opens, right click the installer and choose "Open".
You'll see a warning. Click "Open" again.
It will run from there.

This file can't be opened because it has been deleted

When I tried to save an Appleworks 6 document by clicking SAVE (drop down menu) and then inputting a file name and then clicking SAVE I get the following message.
"This file can't be opened because it has been deleted."
This problem started yesterday. I also had this problem this morning - but -
I have just tried to replicate the problem and I can't
However, has anybody had this problem before? If you did you solve it, or did it just not happen again?

Although I've only gotten this message when I've had AppleWorks 6 open in both Classic & OS X at the same time, others get it like you with no specific cause. It usually is fixed by using Disk Utility to repair permissions and deleting the AppleWorks 6 preferences. See my user tip, AppleWorks has stopped working correctly, for more on the preferences.

Getting as message that says"The folder "Desktop" could not be opened because you do not have sufficient access privileges". How can I get into this folder?

OPen your Users folder, Highlight the Desktop Folder, do a Get Info or CMD+i on it, see if it's locked or if you have Rights & Privileges at the bottom.

Hi Sandra,
you'll need to edit the security settings to install programs 'Mac App Store and identified developers'
Open the Systems Preference and go to Security & Privacy. There will be a section in the 'General' tab for 'Allow apps downloaded from:" The default selection is 'Mac App Store'. Change this setting to 'Mac App Store and identified developers".
This screenshot is taken on OS X 10.10 (Yosemite), so it may look slightly different if you're on a different OS X version.

Could not be opened because you do not have sufficient access privileges

Hi, I just finished backing up my music onto my external HDD as per the 'Manual backup' instructions seen here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1553
The problem is, when I logged back into my main user account to disable the root user and check if my data had been copied properly before I deleted it, one of the music folders copied (the main 'Music' folder) wouldn't open, and now a message pops up every time I try to open it. "The folder "Music" could not be opened because you do not have sufficient access privileges."
The other files and folders copied are fine, it's just this one folder.
Should I log back in as the root user and delete it and try again, or is there something else I can do?
Thanks!

Hi, try doing a Get Info on it in the Finder, then near the bottom, unlock the Lock & change the owner to you Read & Write.

Alias could not be opened because original was not found

I recently had to re-format my HD due to error with the face, all was running fine until today. I had backed up all my files to my external hard drive prior to the HD crash. Photos and Itunes. Problem is today my i photo library was gone as well as my itunes music. When i tried to restore the folder I could not open my files that are .jpg saved on my external drive. I did the shift+option key when starting I photo to recreate the folder, but I still can't open my files in the external drive. Obtained the error "Alias .jpg could not be opened because the original could not be found". Are these pictures now lost forever? I can see the .jpg on my external drive. I click on it and it ask me to fix, and choose , but everything is grayed out. Also now my computer doesn't recognize my ipod to sync since the itunes library has been changed or something. the folder was there , but non of my music. My music is available in the external drive, but It 's not the latest backup. Please someone help. I didn't move anything so I'm not sure what happened.

Hi Ray,
Thank you for responding. I am really hoping I can get my photos at least back. Here is what I did. I thought I was being smart by backup up my folders which contained my photos and music to my external hard drive, however I must not understand how mac does this. I dragged and dropped both my itunes folder and iphotos folder to my external hard drive and checked to see if they were there. I though great all looked great. About a month later my mac got a error which indicated my hd crashed so I reformatted my drive and reloaded everything and then I recently noticed that my music and I photos folder were gone, empty. I'm not sure what happened.

Perhaps I got a virus or a hack stole all my music and photos. I don't know this is the wierdest thing. I guess what I need to know is are all my photos gone forever now?
I tried to import , not sure if I attempted correctly. Can you assist or walk me through?
I can see the .jpg on my external drive I just can't open them without getting the alias error.

Keynote Files Can't be opened

Hello!
Since yesterday I'm not able to open any keynote files previously saved.
I'm running the latest version 6.5.3 on 10.10.3
Even if I create a new file and save it and then close it. I'm unsuccessful to open it.
Any idea what I could do to solve this problem. Need to work on a presentation since yesterday and no luck.
Thank you for your help.

Similar issue. As of this morning I can't open keynote files on the laptop. They still open on the iPad mini and desktop however. Not at all sure how this could be the case unless it is an issue with the update. The iPad is up to date and opens the files fine. The laptop is also up to date and cannot open files. Oddly, the desktop has not been updated but opens files fine...?
Any thoughts?

Preview: The file "_" could not be opened because you do not have permission...

Whenever I try to open an image, this will pop up. I've read other discussions on this problem, I've followed the steps, and it still won't open. Earlier today my computer was saying my startup disk was almost full, so I deleted most of my pictures. At this point, I've tried Get Info > Sharing and Permissions > +admin and unlocking the lock in the bottom right. Is there anything I'm missing or could do?
Also, I haven't used Time Machine at all.

That's not where you need to go.
You shouldn't have any reason to change permissions unless something changed them first.
Also, it may not be that the permissions are wrong, but something related to the disk being too full.
If all of those picutres are in your Home folder, and there is at least 9GB or free space, you'll need to reset your home folder permissions:
Boot into Recovery HD by holding down cmd-r on restart.
When that boots, open Terminal from the Utilities menu.
Type "resetpassword" without the quotes and hit return.
When the reset utility opens, select your hard drive, then your user name.
At the bottom of the window there is a button to Reset home folder permissions and ACLs; click that.
Quit out of that and also out of Recovery.
If the pictures are not in your home folder, that may be affecting your access.

Office 2004 could not be opend because you do not have sufficient access...

I just created a second user acount on my imac. I went to go and open microsoft word.
On the folder there was a little red circle with a line it it. I clicked on the folder and got this message.
The folder "Microsoft Office 2004" could not be opened because you do not have sufficient access privileges.
What does this mean and how do I fix it?

Select the folder in the Finder, choose Get Info from the File menu, and change the permissions in the Ownership & Permissions section so that all accounts have read and write access to that folder. You may need to change the folder's owner to your account first; if so, change it back when you've changed the permissions. Changing the permissions on other items in this folder may be needed.

I installed elements 12 on a Win 8.1 computer and moved all my photos from my old XP machine. I updated to elements 12.1. Now, many/most of my photos will not open because I do not have "permission" to open the files. How do I fix this so I can work with MY photos?

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?

Hi,
The D810 requires Camera Raw 8.6 or later - the latest version that is compatible with Photoshop Elements 12 is Camera Raw 8.5 as far as I can see.
You need to either buy a new version of Photoshop Elements or use the free Adobe DNG converter.
DNG Converter 8.8
