Keynote file will not open on Mac with older version.

I write presentations at home (Mac OSX 10.9.4  with Keynote 5.3 (1170) -  iMac Desktop
and I play them at my retail store (Mac OSX 10.4.11 with Keynote 5.03 (791) - MacMini
I must have automatically let the computer at home upgrade Keynote and now the file I have spent hours on will not open at work. <banging head on desk>.
The error I get is "unable to open because this is not a valid keynote document".
My Mac Mini says everything is up to date so I don't believe I can update anymore.  I do believe i have an iWork disc somewhere and I guess I could try and go BACK on my iMac, but I am not even sure how to do that without goofing up my entire computer.
Ideas?

Unless you have manually deleted Keynote 5, it is retained in the Applications folder in iWorks 09 folder.
If it is no longer installed, use the install discs to re-install and follow the onscreen instructions.

  • Keynote files will not open.

    I have all system and app updates for my MacPro.  However in each attempt to open a Keynote file we receive a prompt "must upgrade to latest edition of Keynote'.  I am using the latest version 6.5.2.  Files will not open.  Help.

    Keynote 6.5 should open all previous version files (except 1 and 2)
    Try resetting Keynote; perform all the steps in the order listed:
    remove Keynote version 6.5, you must use an application removal tool for this procedure to work:
    Appcleaner is free, I use Appzapper
    empty the trash
    shut Down the Mac (Apple menu > Shut Down)
    wait 10 seconds, then press the power button
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold down the Shift key,
    release the Shift key when you see the grey Apple screen
    start up will take a few minutes longer than usual as the Mac is performing a software repair
    restart the Mac normally, (don’t hold down any keys during startup)
    install Keynote from the Mac App Store

  • Saved .mov file will not open on a Windows 7 version of Quicktime or WMplayer or Nero  why not?

    I made two .mov files one will open on a PC the other will not Quicktime will opew the first file, but not the second, Windows Media Player will not open either file, neither will Nero or Creative Media Player.  How can I save a video file from iMovie to something that will opew on a PC?

    Is this related to iOS (iPads and iPhones)?
    This is the iMovie iOS forum, so if you're in the wrong place I can get this question moved.
    In iMovie iOS there is only one way to export video, and that is Quicktime H264.
    You will need the latest version of Quicktime for Windows.

  • SQL file does not open in Mac with SQL Developer

    Hi,
    I have my .sql extension files in mac associated with SQL Developer, but when I open the file SQL Developer does not start; nothing happens.
    I checked all the associations and it seems correct.
    Any suggestion?
    Thanks,

    Hi Mike,
    I can provide solution if you can tell me the registry value(HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\sqlwb.sql.9.0\Shell\Open\Command). I believe there is an extra %1 which is causing this.

    Let me see if I can get my IT guys to temporarily grant me registry access.  As I said above, it's locked down, but maybe if I ask
    reeeeally nicely :-)  I will keep you posted.  Thanks!
    EDIT: The IT gods have smiled on me.  The value for the key above is "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Binn\VSShell\Common7\IDE\ssms.exe" /dde
    Not sure if that helps, but there you go.  Thanks!

    Change that to

    (add %1 and that should fix this forever)

  • Firefox will not open, extentions updated, tried older versions, had worked before but quit. goog chrome and explorer work great but firefox bombed any thoughts

    Windows 7 ultimate, this program worked fine for the last 5 months and all of a sudden just quit. I erased and put on earlier versions all have same outcome. Click on icon and just looks like time clock just spins. No program opens but says program is open.

    hello, could you attribute it to any change / update that was applied? some security software like zonealarm could create problems after a firefox update when sandboxing is enabled, see [[Firefox won't start - find solutions]]
    also in some cases this behaviour can be caused by malware, so please do a full scan of your system with the security software already in place and possibly with a different tool too.

  • Since yesterday all my usual .xls files will not open (Office for Mac 2011). Can open .xlxs files. Default 'open with' is Microsoft Excel.app. No software updates done. Have repaired disc permissions. What next?

    Since yesterday all my usual .xls files will not open (Office for Mac 2011). CAN open .xlxs files. Default 'open with' is Microsoft Excel.app. No software updates done yesterday or the day before (or maybe a Silverlight or an Acrobat one by accident?). Have repaired disc permissions. HHD name is still same as it always was. What next? Thanks
    PS I'm not a great techie so assume I don't know what you're talking about!

    You may need to rebuild permissions on your user account. To do this,boot to your Recovery partition (holding down the Command and R keys while booting) and open Terminal from the Utilities menu. In Terminal, type:  ‘resetpassword’ (without the ’s), hit return, and select the admin user. You are not going to reset your password. Click on the icon for your Macs hard drive at the top. From the drop down below it select the user account which is having issues. At the bottom of the window, you'll see an area labeled Restore Home Directory Permissions and ACLs. Click the reset button there. The process takes a few minutes. When complete, restart.

    Where are you getting your info from as I have personally opened a Windows After Effects project on the Mac many times!
    Anyway Adobe state they are cross platform so this is pretty missleading !
    MCR, you asked in your previous post:
    "Is that true of all CS4 project files like Premiere Pro and After Effects?"
    I answered:
    "No."
    Which means After Effects and Premiere project files are cross-platform. But Encore projects are not cross-platform.
    Is that clearer?
    Regarding your last sentence, if you're referring to AE and PPro files, that is true. But it is not true of Encore project files.

  • A Pages file will not open due to index.xml not found, what is up with that?

    I recently saved a file on Pages 5.5.2. on my IMac hard drive.  Now I find that on attempting to open it the file will not open due to index.xml not found.  Hoe do I correct this?

    I have this issue, as well - although perhaps in a different content.  When I try to open a file I created in the previous version of Pages, I will frequently (but not always), received the "index.xml not found" message.  I am very concerned that I may lose access to some of these files.  The old Pages icon is still on my dashboard, although I've downloaded the new Pages (that icon only appears when I open a new document).  I thought I needed to upgrade the old documents to the new Pages, but this didn't work.  Does anyone have any ideas?  And, I'm not a techie - so you'll need to break it down for me. 

  • Itunes document manager pro will not open a document with .cwk extension. It will catch the document then error message states that it cannot open document. Can anyone tell me what Im doing wrong?

    Itunes document manager pro will not open a document with .cwk extension. It will catch the document then error message states that it cannot open document. Can anyone tell me what Im doing wrong?

    Forgive my ignorance but I have never hear of iTunes Document Manager Pro. If you mean Document Manager Pro, i was able to find that. Back to your problem, have you tried opening one of those files in the iOS iWorks apps? Form the quick read that I did about this, .cwk files can be opened by Pages, Numbers or Keynote, depending on what type of document that it is and those files can be read by Document Manager Pro, after properly saving them. I don't see that you can go directly from the .cwk file in Document Manager Pro without converting them first.
    I took a very quick look at the app, so I may be a missing something about its capability.

  • Mov reference file will not open in QuickTime 7.7.4 for Windows

    Hi,
    I have a mov reference file which opened fine in QuickTime 7.6.2 but since upgrading to 7.7.4 the file will no open. I get the following error:
    Error -2002: a bad public movie atom was found in the movie.
    The file contains one PAL MPEG2 video track and one stereo PCM audio track. It also contains a timecode track.
    See movie inspector below:
    Can anyone help me understand why this file will not open with the latest version of QuickTime. I cannot supply the file but can give any information about atoms etc. which can be read using QTAtomViewer.
    I am using Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008.
    Many thanks,
    Kate

    For those who want to call, the following menu options will get you to the Quick Time install tech support:
    2 - takes you to the Quick Time submenu
    2 - takes you to tech support
    then, choose 1 for Mac or 2 for windows
    Initially, I was told by tier 1 tech rep Shawn that the update server may not be up or that it may be a firewall issue on my side.
    After telling him that I have confirmed that it is a problem with the update server sending a NULL (0 byte) response to the update query, he said I would have to just download the latest one in order to have the most up-to-date version and "just check back periodically to see if the update server is working".
    He mentioned there was a Quick Time standalone download available (http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/standalone.html), but that is still ~20MB & doesn't help the fact that probably over 90% of the people who run Quick Time have the option to automatically check for updates set and will never realize they're running an old, vulnerable version of Quick Time.
    He gave me a case number after I asked for one: 58027568
    If you'd like to add to mine and/or Rob's, it surely couldn't hurt.
    I suppose my next course is to try emailing contacts at apple to see what kind of response they have. Considering this problem has been there ever since QT 7 for Windows has been released (I don't remember ever checking for updates when running QT 7 beta), it's strange that it's still a problem.

  • Certain IDCS3 INX files will not open in CS2

    I am trying to export a group of files from CS3 all the way to CS. Of the 52 files, 11 of my interchange files willl not open in CS2. Of the 41 files that were successfully converted to CS2, 13 of thhe next round of interchange files will not open in CS.
    Does anyone have any suggestions for things that I can do to make these files work? For example, when I have had trouble in the past with converting native CS2 files, I have been able to get them to work by remove the master pages and ungrouping all of the objects. With these CS3 pages, the only thing that has worked has been copy pasting all objects into a new document, but I am praying for a better solution.
    It would be helpful if anyone could suggest things for me to look out for. So far, I haven't been able to identify any commonalities between my "broken" files.
    Thanks!!!

    You need to access the version from within InDesign itself, not from the finder. From Indesign CS, hold down the command key while pulling down InDesign>About InDesign. The correct version will be InDesign 3.01 (838). There were I think three versions of InDesign 301. The one with the (838) is the last one which will import the CS2 inx files correctly.
    So while your updater may have completed the update successfully, you may not have the latest updater. You need the 3.0.1 April 2005 updater for Mac. (see #13)

    Edit: And remember to turn off color management as Bob points out in #3.

    Freehand can't convert EPS files into editable vectors. I
    usually run
    EPS files through Illustrator and then into Frehand. If you
    don't have
    Illustrator you can convert the EPS into a PDF and that
    Freehand will
    sometimes convert into editable vectors (though it does
    involve a lot
    more clean up than going through Illustrator.)
