Keynote file i updated yesterday won't open

I'm feeling nauseous. I updated a very large file that i've been working on for years yesterday. Upgraded it to new keynote. Now....it won't open. At all. Just says "can't be opened". I tried keynote 09, new keynote. Tried dragging into new keynote icon on deck.
OMG. I've only had problems with this new effing keynote. I didn't even question that it would corrupt all of my content.
Anyone? thanks...

Use Keynote version 5 to open edit and play version 5 presentations.
Only use Keynote version 6 for new presentations.

PDF files created in Preview won't open in Adobe Reader

I consider Preview to be a swiss army knife when it comes to working with PDF and graphic files. Lately (since the last OS update?) PDF files created in Preview won't open in Adobe Reader. Reader either crashes or just becomes unresponsive. I've been able to open the files in older versions of Adobe Professional but Reader 8 or 9 can't open the files. Anyone else experiencing these problems?

Yes. We noticed this problem after upgrading to 10.6.7. When we made a PDF from Word 2011 or even Text Edit through Adobe's "Save as Adobe PDF" it would hang. When we made a PDF using Apple's "Save as PDF" it would lock up Acrobat Pro 9 and also Acrobat Pro X. NOTE that this only happened using Adobe OTF fonts.
I posted this problem on Adobe's forum and received a message from admin there that this was caused by a change in font handling with Apple's 10.6.7 update.
As of yet, no solution has been posted. I also received a message from Adobe's Tech Support that it was forwarded to their engineers.
Still waiting.

CS4 transferred to an iMac with Yosemite OS, installed Java update, still won't open.

CS4 transferred to an iMac with Yosemite OS, installed Java update, still won't open. Should I reinstall from disks or can I get a free upgrade to CS6?

there's no free upgrade.
you 'transferred' or you properly installed cs4 using the installation files?

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?

After update, firefox won't open

after last update, firefox won't start. maybe because I believed it would restart the first time I started computer. the instructions have always given that option

Try to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean (re)install of the latest version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
*Firefox 15.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
*Trash the current Firefox application (e.g. open the Applications folder in Finder and drag the Firefox application to the Trash) to do a clean (re-)install
*Install the new version that you have downloaded
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data if you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

Files in Finder but won't open

I made a disc image the other day using Carbon Copy Cloner and when I mount it, there are a bunch of files that list in the Finder just like they would normally, with appropriate file sizes and their icons in tact, but they won't open in their respective applications. Every file, like a quicktime for example, if you double click it will open its associated application but then the app will report an error like "can't understand file" or something like that. Does anyone have experience with files that appear to be there but won't open? THanks.
PS - permissions seem to be set correctly on these files -

Hello Sean:
According to your profile information, you are running OS X 10.3.x. If that is the case, you should post in that forum as you are liable to get incorrect answers here. If you are running OS X 10.4.X, I have read that CCC had some compatibility problems with OS X 10.4 - I do not know if they are resolved (I dumped CCC in favor of SuperDuper months ago). I only use SD (and before that CCC) to make bootable clones......

Can't open Keynote files on my Mac - but they open fine on other Macs

+I had this query in the Keynote 8 section, but was getting no replies - so I'm posting it here too.+
If I attempt to open any Keynote files, I now get this error message.
"Can't open file "+File path: file name+.key"
To clarify, the text in italics above shows the actual file's file path and name.
The file will then will appear on screen, but is unresponsive to any clicks or menu commands.
The files will open successfully on other Macs, so they aren't corrupt.
The same applies when creating a new file from Keynote: All screen menus / buttons are dead - all I can do is drag the main window around the screen.
I've tried to reinstall Keynote, but this hasn't resolved the problem. I've checked that I'm running the latest version (4.04 of Keynote 8) - and I have nearly 12gb free on my hard disc. I've also thrown out any Keynote related files I could find in library or preferences in case some application settings had been corrupted. (Having said that, I don't know if I caught them all - as I just used Spotlight to find files with the name Keynote.)
Are there specific preference / system files that I should look for and dump? Is there an easy way to do a complete uninstall of Keynote so I can try another install? Or is this a symptom of something else?
All ideas gratefully appreciated!

All the issues I describe in my questions around this time re: Keynote were actually symptoms of a soon-to-die laptop. The Hard Disc was corrupting, and Keynote was the first application to be affected.

Transferring docs from DELL to Macbook pro, some files got corrupted or won't open.

I got my mcbpro with os lion and i transferred all of my documents from my DELL laptop on an external harddrive, however i can open some jpgs and word docs and others won't open giving: Item “NAME.JPG” is used by Mac OS X and can’t be opened.
Also, one folder that had all of my school docs is completely blank, and I have it backedup.
I do have the necessary apps to open these docs (for example office for mac, and preview for jpgs) and I can also open some word docs and jpg images I have so I dont really understand why those ones won't be opened.

Keynote made on my ipad3 won't open on Macbook pro

I created keynotes presentation on my iPad 3, sent via email (i selected keynote format) to my self so I can open and revise it on my MacBook Pro, once I try to open it says unable to pen because it is not a valid format or something. I have all apple stuff..it should be the same format!,,!,,,,!
Any ideas?
Another issue: I plug a USB stick on my iPad 3, it won't open it, it says it requires too much power?
Thanks

Where ar eyou looking on your iPad to see your music. Many people mistakenly look in iTunes app when they should be looking in Music app.
If you are doing it correctly, you can try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
Resync and try again to see if the problem persists.

Quicktime won't update, itunes won't open...having no luck :(

I'm getting an error message when I try to download the current quicktime. iTunes won't open without it. The error message is below:
It says "Could not open key:
HKEYLOCALMACHINE\Software\Classes\QuickTimePlayerLib.QuickTimePlayerApp\CLSID. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel"
I tried a link that was posted in another discussion about manually editing the registry and it did not change anything. I still get the same error message. I've actually looked over quite a few suggestions in other discussions (like deleting quicktime all over the place and trying to reinstall it) and nothing seems to work. I finally was able to get the newest version of itunes downloaded. However, when I go to launch itunes it will not open b/c it says that i need the newest version of quicktime (which i cannot download). When I try to download it via standalone, it gives me a new error message similar to the original except now the location is QuickTime.QuickTime rather than QuickTimePlayerLib.QuickTimePlayerApp. Before I uninstalled QT, I was able to edit the registry for the QT Player LIb and App. Since they did nothing I unistalled it again. However, after I uninstalled it, (and reinstalled just itunes which it finally updated) I tried to reinstall and it would not install because the new error message is the most resent one above... in the registry it will not let me change/save any permissions changes to QuickTime.QuickTime. I've again tried to uninstall it but now QT isn't there at all. I've been at this thing for a week and nothing seems to be working... any suggestions? I would love help!!!!
Oh, and I don't know if this will help at all, but I have an ipod mini from like 2003... when I couldn't get itunes to update at all to the current version I decided to uninstall itunes and my ipod mini... so then i had to reinstall my ipod with the cd software that came with it which also installed itunes... it worked fine and would open... then I tried to update itunes again and somehow i managed to get it to update itunes... however, when i go to launch itunes it won't let me b/c of the version of quicktimes i currently have. Thanks in advance for any help!

so i tried to download the windows installer update from the link you gave me but now i'm getting a different error and it won't let me download the installer. The error reads:
Windows Script Host
Script: C:\DOCUME~1\Owner\LOCALS~1\Temp\IXP000.TMP\StartMsl.vbs
Line: 1
Char: 1
Error: ActiveX component can't create object: 'Scripting.FileSystemObject"
Code: 800A01AD

I have no idea what this means or how to fix it. Please help!

InDesign File created on PC won't open on Mac

My office is collaboraing with a consultant to create a document in InDesign. We are on PCs and she is on a Mac. We have sent her our .indd files and she is unable to open our InDesign files (not sure if there is an error message or what, I will get more information from her ASAP). Any thoughts on why? Suggestions?
It is my understanding that the programs are compatible crossplatform. We are running CS2, unsure what she is running, but if opening different versions works the same as other Adobe programs, it would know, and give you a warning, if that were the problem.
I'll update with more information as I get it, but there may be an easy solution that I am missing.
We are an architecture firm and have minimal knowledge of InDesign. We only use it every now and then for very basic layouts and have never attempted or needed to share files, so bear with me if there is a simple explaintion! Thanks.

Thanks all for the help, but we have decided to work around it differently.
She was using CS1, and the message she was getting was that there are additional plug-ins required, and she said that when she attempted to download them, CS1 was too old a version.
INX also did not work, not sure why, but not too concered at this point.
Thanks anyway.

Updated Catalyst won't open

Hi, my desktop is a p6653w running with AMD HD 4200.
I usually do light gaming with online games so I had to recently update my drivers. I checked using HP's service updater but it didn't show any drivers available. So I went to AMD and chose to manualyl detect drivers for updates and there was the AMD Catalyst 12.6 I think. So right now I've done installing the update but the catalyst center won't open. I was wondering what could be the problem and if its due to incompatibility? I read somewhere that most HP built in amd gpu's really only on stock HP drivers. I know it wouldn't boost performance that much but I'm sure updating would help my gaming a bit.

Kritterbits, welcome to the forum.
I suggest trying an earlier version of the Catalyst Control Center. Sometimes the latest version may not be compatible with your computer. If this works, please let us know.

The updated Illustrator won't open. Photoshop and Acrobat did

The updated Illustrator in Cloud won't open. The updated Photoshop and Acrobat did.
It mentioned something about needing to register. Thank you.

Hi Tina,
Which OS are you using?
Sometimes this is caused when Mac preferences become corrupt and prevent Illustrator from reading them properly or scratch disk for Illustrator is not set properly. Mac preferences become corrupt when home space is filled to capacity or computer shuts down improperly. Illustrator preferences must be set before using the product for the first time or when preferences become corrupt.
Solution 1
Start Illustrator.
Click on "Illustrator > Preferences > Plug-ins & Scratch Disks".
From the options available for the "Primary Scratch Disk", choose "LocalScratch", and click "Ok".
Quit Illustrator and start it up again.
Solution 2
Quit Illustrator. Move the following folders from your home space to the trash:
Library/Application Support/Adobe
Library/Preferences/Adobe Illustrator CS6 Library Settings
Library/Preferences/Adobe Illustrator CS6 Settings
Library/Preferences/com.adobe.illustrator.plist
The problem should disappear upon quitting and starting Illustrator after one of these solutions is applied.
Regards,
Rave

After data file recovery, files are red and won't open

My HD crashed so I used Data Rescue 3 to recover my files. It worked but now all the files are highlighted red and won't open. The file sizes look right but for instance when I try to open a mov file it says, this is not a movie file. My FCP projects won't open either. Does anybody know what the problem is and what I need to do to get the files usable again?

Data recovery can be hit and miss. Data Rescue is unlikely to be able to recover every single byte from every single file. If so much as a single byte is out of place, QuickTime will be unable to read the file.
I would suggest you give QT Repair a try and if that doesn't work, try File Salvage:
