Keynote file menu missing save as and duplicate

Running latest versions of mountain lion and iwork--just upgraded, but have this curious problem only in keynote.  When I use shift-command-S get nothing; pressing option activates "close".  I listed this in the keynote forum but no help from there so far... any ideas?  Anyone else have this problem?

Thanks for the response.  I got a fix for it.  Went to another account on the mac and keynote had the proper file menu options listed.  Under library/Preferences I trashed all the iWork related plist and the Cache file--Rebooted and all was back in order.  Wish I could say I figured this out all by myself, but Apple support walked me through it.  FYI if you run across anyone else with this type of issue.

  • How do I show my keynote file on a dvd player and control the slides?

    how do I show my keynote file on a dvd player and control the slides with the skip or next chapter command on the dvd remote? when I export to quicktime, it changes slides on a timed basis. I want the chapter button on a dvd remote to act like a mouse click would.

    Hi Robert
    You have to export the individual slides from your Keynote presentation, and then import them into your DVD application.
    I use DVDStudioPro - it works fine this. I'm sure iDVD will be OK.Going via QT has never worked for me.

  • Keynote file menu and file operations very slow

    Anyone else seeing specific slow downs when you open, save, etc or access the file menu on the new version of keynote 5.1 using 10.6.8.
    Any fixes?

    I will try to make a WebDAV repository out of one on Monday. 
    I just tried something different though.  I logged on as a user with administrator rights, it only took 13 seconds to list the directory instead of 3 minutes plus.  The regular user has rights and eventually sees what they should, it is just painfully slow.

  • How do I change the sort order of files viewed in Save As and keep the new sort order permanent?

    When I find a graphic I want to save, I choose Save Image As. I navigate to an existing folder but the items shown are not arranged by name. I right click on the Save As window and choose Arrange By Name. The sort works and I save my item. Later when I go back to the same folder the items are not arranged by name. I want the "arrange by name" option to be permanent.

    The same as with a file browser. The bar at the top of the window;
    name, size, date''' . . . . . . .''' click what you want.

  • File Menu Missing (File, Edit, View, Document..."

    This is my first time using this forum - let me know if I should ask this elsewhere.  I am a seasoned user of Adobe Acrobat, but I am now using Windows 8 and am having some challenges.  For some reason, the top "Menu" bar has disappeared when I open a .pdf in Adobe Acrobat 9.  I cannot even see the "X" on the top right side to close the file.  Is there something I can do to fix this?  Thanks in advance for your help!

    Keep in mind that Acrobat 9 is not compatible with Windows 8.
    The Acrobat 9 product family went into "End of Support" mid-year 2013.
    Be well...

  • I've downloaded pages 4.1 onto my new macmini (10.7.2) but the File menu does not include the save as function .  Any suggestions?

    I've just downloaded Pages 4.1 onto my new macmini (OS X 10.7.2 Lion) but the "Save as ..." function does not appear in the File menu (although "Save ..." does appear).  I'm wasting lots of time saving copies and then changing the names via the desktop.  Any suggestions?  I've already checked updates and can't see any that look suitable.
    Whoops!  No sooner had I posted this as a question when a whole host of queries popped up asking the same Q.  So now I know there is NO Save as in Pages 4.1, but a similar route using Duplicate.  I'm off to experiment.
    Plus ça change!!!

  • The package file is missing from the project directory

    Today after working in SSIS all day with no problems, I re-opened one of my projects and got the message:
    The package file ‘package_name.dtsx’ is missing from the project directory. This package has been skipped, and project will continue to load.
    So two of my packages loaded and all remaining packages where skipped, one pop-up dialog for each “missing” package. I then looked in my project directory and all my packages are still there.
    1. Has anyone experienced this and found why this happens?
    2. Can I just import my packages again and be good to go?
    Update:
    I discovered that this had to do with renaming my packages in SSDT. For some reason the name changes did not get saved into the project .dtproj file. I was able to correct by renaming the .dtsx files in the project directory to their original name. Then
    I re-opened the project, renamed the packages to the new names, saved and closed all packages. At this point you need to save the project, which actually wasn't really straight forward. You need to highlight the project name in Solution Explorer
    and then from the File menu select 'Save Selected Items'. This updates the .dtproj file.
    Upon closing SSDT, a dialog SOMETIMES appears asking you to save the project, after selecting Yes, the .dtproj file also updates. However, I've realized that upon closing the project, that the dialog asking to save the project does not always appear,
    depending on what has changed in the project. To be safe, use method previously described, especially after renaming packages. Also, if SSDT happens to crash after you have renamed a package, the project will not re-open properly.

    I remember one such occurrence when I used Source Control (if I recall right it was TFS), and yes, you can simply right-click on the packages folder and choose 'add existing package'.
    But check for project file perhaps it has a wrong reference. E.g. something from the outside manipulated on the package files.

  • ITunes no longer recognizes midi files how can I play and convert them?

    iTunes 10.3 recognised midi files, I could "move" them to the iTunes library and select them. then click on "Advanced" and "Convert to AAC" (or to MP3 etc).
    iTunes 10.5 will not recognise midi files.
    I think an older version of GarageBand could also read and convert midi files, but this no longer appears to be the case either in the latest version.
    How can I now convet midi files? Has Apple decided to simply ignore them?

    Thanks to Limnos, I now have some further things to try, but in the meantime I found I had been maligning GarageBand 11. Indeed its built-in Help system doesn't seem to mention Midi files at all, but I found out how to insert them from Apple's on-line support system at http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2009 and it works superbly well - one can even change the instruments on individual channels etc and then save the lot as an AAC (m4a) or mp3 etc file.
    I also loaded up an old version of iTunes, version 10.3, which still recognises Midi files and can convert them to AAC or mp3 but in so doing some volume seems to be lost.
    But the winner so far for me has been Audacity, free software. One needs to add a LAME encoder for mp3 output, I installed Soundflower and routed the playback of the midi file available in the Finder (in fact for the whole machine, while playing the midi file) and declared Soundflower as the input for Audacity. I could then use Audacity's effects menu to increase the volume throughout the track and save it. I then, using the Sound preferences of the machine, switched back to the inbuilt speakers and was able to listen to a higher volume version, playable in iTunes 10.5. More faithful to the original midi file than the GarageBand version.
    See instructions at http://ask.brothersoft.com/tags/convert-midi-to-mp3/ and in particular one of the links http://ask.brothersoft.com/how-to-convert-a-midi-to-a-mp3-using-audacity-26125.h tml
    This is for Windows but for Mac it's very similar/ - still Audacity. BUT the instructions in the last link don't seem to quite work, which is why I had to use Soundflower. I can import the midi file, I can select it, but then the export item on the file menu remains greyed out and unuseable, so I must presumably be missing some plug-in. Also Audacity keeps telling me it can't find various ffmpeg files even though I thought I had installed them correctly. I'm obviously missing something here, but at least I can now get my midi files into aac or mp3 format again at last.
    For Soundflower see http://cycling74.com/soundflower-landing-page/ and http://kineme.net/forum/General/soundflowerforlion
    and there is a useful tutorial by Nowjobless on YouTube at
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3FGOIW08gA&feature=related
    Good luck to anyone else facing the same problems, it remains to be seen how to "convert" midi files to mp3 in Audacity without recourse to Soundflower.

  • Keynote files damaged?

    Hi,
    I am in a workgroup here, running OS X Server (10.4.5) and Clients (10.4.5). Have a lot of old keynote files residing on the server and cannot open them.
    Keynote (3.0) says "files are damaged". Hmm.
    I installed the older keynote.app (up from 1.0) and cannot open any of these files.
    It could be a problem with permissions (the files given from the server). I am using "inherit from surrounding folder"... since I cannot copy these keynote files either to my clients macs.
    Anyone experienced this and has a solution, would be a great help, because I have dozens of these files.
    thanks
    Rob

    Found the solution by myself:
    1. Log in to the Server/Share as the ServerAdmin or ask the Admin to do this for you if you are not the Admin.
    2. Open the keynote files (the will open just normal).
    3. Use "Save as..." and save them under a different name.
    4. Log out from the Server/Share as the Admin
    5. Log in again with your regular Useraccount.
    6. Open the keynote files (the new saved ones).
    Voala. It works as it should...
    Reminder: Do not oversave the files (with "Save"). You can than open the files as normal, but all the mediaelements will be missing.
    hope that helps
    thanks

  • File menu bug in Elements 8 for Mac

    I recently purchased Photoshop Elements 8 for Mac. While the software overall works very well, I noticed a bug which has now started hampering my work. Out of the blue, 'Open', 'Open New Blank File' and 'Browse with Bridge' in the file menu become grey (disabled) and shotrcuts for opening files (Command-O and Command-N) or clicking on the open new file icon yield no result. Preferences menu cannot be accessed as well. As per the software license, I installed Elements on an iMac running OS 10.5.8 and on my MacBook running OS 10.4.11 I am having this problem on both :-( The menus do appear but intermittently. Any help to fix this bug would be deeply appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    I got it!!!!!
    It's a clipboard related problem! Whenever I copy an image (a vector image or graphic specifically) from any application, New 'Image from Clipboard' option (in the file menu) gets enabled in Elements 8 and due to it, all menus relating to opening a new file get disabled including, strangely, preferences. Somehow Elements assumes that the new file/image will be the same as the one in the clipboard. The moment I copy any text in any application (so that the clipboard does not have any graphic in it), the disabled Elements menus get enabled! It seems Elements 8 does not support vector graphics perhaps that's why..

  • Keynote file can no longer be opened

    Hi everybody,
    I really need urgent help. I spent this weekend on working on a keynote presentation. My G5 Dual 1.8 suddenly freezed and the mouse cursor could no longer be moved forcing me to reboot the computer.
    After this I tried to reopen my Keynote file… Unfortunately, this is unpossible and I get a Keynote message "Keynote can not open this file".
    Urrrrghhh!
    What's this? Has all my weekend work gone forever? Is there a chance to salvage the file?
    Thanx a lot for your feedback.
    Pergamentus

    I know this is an older thread but I am praying you guys have found some solutions since the last post on here. I have a file that started as a KN2 file and now saved as a KN 3 file. As I have upgraded versions of KN, I have saved them in the newest versions. That should not be so rare. This particular file worked just fine as I was working on it. Before I closed it, I copied it as a back-up onto two external hard disks plus I have enabled back-up mode in KN3. Today I find I could not open ANY of the original files nor back-ups. I've already rebuilt this file once from a previous working version. I'd hate to start from scratch with a brand-new file but is that what I am left with at this point? I am no XML genius but it seems the problem is in there (I opened up the package, moved the xml file to a new KN3 file, no dice). Any help would be tremendous. Thankfully, I still have time to start from scratch if need be.
    Thanks!

  • Keynote 6.2.2 will not open a keynote file created in 6.2.2

    I was sent a keynote file by a work colleague and we both have Keynote 6.2.2 on our MacBook Pro's. My MacBook will not open the file sent by my colleague even though it was created in version 6.2.2 I get an error message saying I need to download the latest version from the App store. Even after trying for a later version the App store says I already have the latest version installed... any advice please?

    Tried this and is did not work.  Created the file in 6.5.2 yesterday.  Keynote will not open it from 6.5.2.  will not open from 5.1.1.  Zipped it, sent to myself.  Uncompress - will not open.  Sent to different email address - will not open.  Tried everything in this forum.  Went to app store, would not let my purchase because current version is latest.  Think I purchased some version for Iphone and Ipad in desperation - doesn't seem to have been downloaded but waws charged for it.  Really really frustrated with the new Apple - where nothing works - If I can't get this file open - another 14 hours of work and then what - have to leave open forever? - never able to use except on my imac?  Please help.

  • I can't print my statements from banking websites - the option to print (drop down file menu) from the website is greyed out

    I do my banking online, and have previously been able to print my statements off the website. Since the last update, although the page shows in the browser as normal, the option to print from the drop-down file menu is greyed out and I cannot print anything, even if I try and select a portion. It is not a problem with the website as I can print without a problem in another browser program. This problem has now persisted for quite a while with no resolution over time. How do I get Firefox to allow print from a secure website (I assume that is the problem?) It occurs with more than one secure site (two different banks)

    I have the same problem... not being able to print website 'Print' pages. I have read carefully the above link and have followed the reset directions in about:config, but I still cannot print in Firefox. Both Google Chrome and IE work perfectly every time. I have verified that the correct printer is selected and that the margins are in order (0.5 all around happen to be what mine are set for). I have resorted to use the Firefox Add On "View this Page in IE" whenever I need to print something. Works like a charm, but come on... it should work in Firefox too! I know there is some setting or something, but the Problems_printing_web_pages link had nothing there that worked for me.
