Keynote files deleting after update to 10.8.4

I performed a small edit to a Keynote file today after updating to 10.8.4 last night (used the combo updater).  The file crashed during a presentation and I though "no big deal, I'll just re-open it."  When I went to find it, it was completely gone.  Vanished.
I booted up Time Machine back at the office, restored the file, and chalked it up to some fluke.  Then I edited a different Keynote file.  It kept popping error messages about not being able to locate media files and I eventually closed it.  Again, I went to find the orginal file to re-open and it too has dissappeared.  This time, Time Machine wouldn't even let me restore it from a backup.
I ran disk utility and it found minor errors in the volume bitmap and free space remaining.  So I booted to the recorvery partition and repaired successfully.
I'm up and running again, but my Keynote file is still missing.  I'm afraid to open Keynote again for fear of this happening again.
Is there any known issue with 10.8.4 corrupting the file system, particulary when opening and editing Keynote files?

GordonGecko9:
- First, make sure you back up all remaining Keynote presentations. Hopefully, you have a backup of the one that got deleted.  I had to get a copy from another folder. Once the file was deleted, Time Machine suddenly thought it was never there in the first place too.  That's right, the deleted file was also deleted from Time Machine--even months back.
- Once you have backups of your files, run Disk Utility and see if there are any errors.  I had a few, so booted into the Recovery partition and repaired.
- Remove all your Keynote .plist files from the directory: /Users/your username/Library/Preferences.  Your Library folder will be hidden unless you hold the OPTION key and then select the GO menu at the top.  You can just move these files out of that folder and keep them elsewhere if you want them again.
- Check your console log to see if any errors were reported about the time of the crash.  I had some message about Flip4Mac confilciting with another video codec, so I deleted Flip4Mac.  Not sure if it mattered, but I didnt' really need it anyway.
- Since you have backups of your files now, you can start playing around with Keynote again to see if your problem is solved.  Here is what I found:
> After deleting the .plist files, I sill had issues after editing presenations.  The changes would take, but then when I went to save the file, I got an error message that the location couldn't be found.  When I chose "Save As" isntead, Keynote crashed.  However, when I rellaunced Keyonte, the file was saved in its orginal location. (Before I deleted the .plist files, the presenation was gone after Keynote crashed).
> Subsequent edits and saves worked normally on the same file.  As I opened other presenations from the same folder in the finder, I got the same errors (crashing and file not saving).  But then, upon relaunch everything seemed fine.
It seems that something with 10.8.4 is causing directory errors with Keynote files.  When you go to save an edited presenation, it gets confused about where to put it and the file gets deleted instead.
Please keep me posted on if the above "fix" works for you and if you notice anything else.

  • All self-hosted web fonts are deleted after update to latest Muse version (2014.3)

    All the self-hosted web fonts are deleted after updating Muse.
    It is necessary to import the self-hosted fonts again and then redefine every paragraph style to make it work again.
    This is an extra hour of work for every site using self-hosted fonts.
    Please make sure to improve this on the next update-release of Adobe Muse.

  • Can old versions of upgraded Adobe software taking up HD space be deleted after updating?

    Can old versions of upgraded Adobe software taking up HD space be deleted after updating?

    Updating versus upgrading - two different animals.  Updates need the software they are updating.  Upgrades of Adobe products do not need the precedent versions.
    Upgraded versions are better off removed before installing the upgrades.  There are occasions where different versions share some file where deleting an older version after installing the newer one can remove a needed file.

  • Am I the only one getting calls from 253-802-0308 about malicious file downloads after updating FIREFOX?

    After updating Firefox I start getting calls from 253-802-0308 (International Telcom in Auburn Washington, found using 411.com). The report that they are getting messages that my Windows PC is reporting the downloading of malicious files. I don't think that there is a connection with Mozilla but it only started after I ran the last 2 or 3 updates to Firefox. Searches on Google and other search engines don't show logical connections to the phone calls and the problem being reported to me. None of my anti-virus programs, Ccleaner, DEFENDER & AVG pickup and malicious files. I'm curious about who they may be because when I question them during the calls they end up hanging up on me. Just wondering if similar problems are being reported.

    That is a reported scammer set-up. Read some of the following from actual phone customers. It is not related to your Firefox updates. I have gotten a few of these types of calls on my '''''unlisted '''''home phone number over the past several years. They use a dialer, usually automatic and sequential number dialing. Get a loud whistle to blow into the phone mouth piece or one of those loud air horns from the hardware/sporting good store; this kind of trash deserves broken ear drums.

  • Media files hidden after update 10.6.8 to Mavericks.

    Hello world,
    I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 on an iMac 21.5" from 2010: 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB DDR3, 500GB.
    My problem came about when I updated from 10.6.8 to Mavericks. I downloaded Mavericks from the app store. When I tried to install it, it wouldn't let me because it said my internal HD was being used for Time Machine (even though I had Time Machine switched off). So I plugged in my WD USB 3.0 external drive and installed it with that. After the update, it had me create a new default user account, which I did. But now all my media files are hidden and I can't open my media folders on my Macintosh HD. I used Disk Utility to verify and repair disk on my WD external and on the iMac's HD.
    Question is, where did all my files go? I believe they're still on my HD, I just can't access them? I was under the impression that after updating to Mavericks that I could just use my old login and all my files would be there, but they aren't. I'm seeing some symbols on my folders, which I can change to have permission to open them, but the files still aren't there.
    I also tried the dummy account trick, but to no avail. I could have made a mistake in trying that one though.
    Any help for me to see my hidden media files would be helpful. Thanks!

  • Photos of last 30 days deleted after update to iOS 8.0.2

    After update to iOS 8.0.2 yesterday all my photos of the last 30 days are automatically removed/deleted from my iPhone5 overnight. These photos are not in the new folder "recently deleted" (Zuletzt gelöscht" in Geman). Instantly all photos were there and everything was fine. What went wrong?
    The phone call list is also empty.
    I want my photos back. Apple take care!!! I need answers immediatly!!!

    I Have same issue with wifi on iPad air with 8.0.2 being qa engineer myself I am amazed how company like apple can release something with fundamental issues with wifi and cellular. I guess basic tests are missing and Apple needs to employ good people in test and do not get into this kind of disgrace next time. There is no fix? I have issues with apps upgrade too due to slow wifi, come on apple don't be Samsung or Chinese companies!!!!

  • Anyconnect Client profile files deleted after client upgrade

    L.S.
    I am running anyconnect version 3.1.02040 on a Windows 7 64-bit machine with UAC turned on.
    The ASA I am connecting to is a 5510 running ASA OS 8.4.5
    The problem I have is the following:
    We are using machine certificate authentication combined with RADIUS user authentication.
    The machine certificates are stored in the Machine/Personal container in the local machine.
    By default, the anyconnect client does not have the rights to access this certificate store when run by the user in non-elevated mode.
    We do not want to have the user run the client as administrator (in elevated mode) all the time.
    Therefor we have made an Anyconnect Client profile that sets the Certificate Store Override parameter to true and attached it to the group policy.
    With this XML in place (in the C:\ProgramData\Cisco\Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client\Profile folder)
    the users can connect to the ASA and authenticate using the certificate without the need for elevated rights. This is all working perfectly.
    The anyconnect client and XML file are distributed to the clients using a software distribution system (Microsoft SCCM).
    The problem happens when I update the Anyconnect package on the ASA. I recently updated the package to release 3.1.03103. This is what happens:
    The user can connect using the 3.1.02040 client (certicate authentication works without elevation, since the XML Anyconnect Client Profile is present)
    The Anyconnect software updates itself to the new version during the connection, pushed from the ASA.
    The VPN is established.
    However, the XML file that is associated with the group policy is deleted during the upgrade process and not placed back in the Profile folder on the client after the upgrade.
    This means the user cannot connect without using elevated rights the next time he wants to connect.
    If he uses elevated rights after the upgrade, the XML is pushed back from the ASA normally, allowing the user to connect without elevation again any subsequent times.
    Is there any way to push the XML profile to the client from the ASA after the upgrade of the Anyconnect software?

    Hi poiu720408 ,
    1.  You need to set up a web-url or group-alias under the group policy as web have enable the "tunnel-group-list enable" under the webvpn configuration.  So once the user connect to the proper URL/alias the profile will be applied. 
    http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/security/asa-5500-x-series-next-generation-firewalls/98580-enable-group-dropdown.html
    2. Yes the Anycopnnect store a "Cache " information on the PC , if you want to clan up you have to go to the anyconnect folder on C: on the PC and delete the global_preferences.xml profile.
    3. This behavior is totally expected and they should disappear  after a some minutes , however if you wan to force this , you can use the command "vpn-sessionsdb logoff webvpn noconfirm"
    Please rate helpful post !
    Hope this helps

  • Music Files Deleted After Hard Disk Failure and First Sync After Hard Disk

    Hi,
    I recently had a hard disk failure and lost all of the data on my hard drive. I replaced the hard drive and reinstalled all of the software including iTunes. I am running Windows XP Home. The first time I plugged my iPod Nano into my computer after the hard drive replacement it synced to iTunes and since iTunes had no music files it deleted all of the music files on my Nano. How do I get them back and why on earth would iTunes do such a stupid thing??? My Nano contained many songs that I bought from iTunes and I want to get them back. I have found some third party software that will undelete the deleted files but it costs $69. I don't feel that I should have to pay to correct a defective feature in iTunes. Does Apple have an undelete utility? Can I redownload the songs that I purchased from iTunes?

    *The first time I plugged my iPod Nano into my computer after the hard drive replacement it synced to iTunes*
    When you connected did you get a message that your iPod was linked to another library, and then press Erase and Sync? When an iPod is set to update automatically and you connect to a computer with an empty iTunes and accept the message above it will erase the originals completely (as you have discovered). Also as you've seen, none of the recovery programs are particularly cheap so you have to decide if in your particular circumstances it's worth it to get your songs back. It may be if you have a lot of purchased tracks which you will have to pay to download again. If they came primarily from your CDs then it's most likely not as you can re-rip them.
    *Can I redownload the songs that I purchased from iTunes?*
    If you didn't make a back-up of your purchases to restore from then I'm sorry to say that the policy on lost purchases is that you have to pay to download them again:
    "Once a Product is purchased and you receive the Product, it is your responsibility not to lose, destroy, or damage the Product, and Apple shall be without liability to you in the event of any loss, destruction, or damage." iTunes Store: Purchased content can be downloaded only once
    You could try contacting the iTunes Music Store Customer Service and you might be able to persuade them to sanction a second free download. There have been occasional reports in the iTunes forum of this happening, however just be aware that they are not under any obligation to do so. If you click on any of the links on this page you'll find a space at the bottom to email your query: iTMS Customer Service

  • Library file permissions after update

    I just updated to iTunes 8 and was having a problem with permissions for the library files. I was not listed as having access, and additionally is an account named "wheel" that I've never heard of that has access. The icon for this account shows the outline of two people.
    I also noticed this issue with an album I recently transferred into iTunes that would not play after I deleted it and transferred it back in. I'm not really sure what's with this. Does anyone have any clues? I'm deleting this "wheel" account from access, but I'm hesitant to do that w/o knowing what it is. Please help. Thanks.

    Also, there's another account for "system" that was set to "read & write", but none of my other files or folders have this on them.
    Every other file/folder just has my account, "staff", and "everyone". Could someone also please direct me to more information about permissions and these various account? Thanks.
