Keynote & Lion

Hi,
I have upgrade to Lion (10.7..) and Keynote too. One of the many problems is the error with "Document Warnings" with a window listing the missing images. Never had this before, any pointers please.

I just started noticing this error as well. Is it a file size thing (I'm importing movies, but that's never been a problem before). Whatever it is it's a deal killer for Lion (if that's the issue, or Keynote, sadly, if that's the issue).

Can't open powerpoint files in keynote since Mountain Lion upgrade

Not having much luck and not sure which forum to post in as this could be a Mountain Lion issue, an iWork issue, but is also an iWork and/or IOS6 issue!
Until last week I had Lion on iMac and IOS5 on iPad. I was able to log on to my work network server (school network, I am a teacher) and open powerpoint, word or excel files in keynote, pages or numbers on my iPad. I then upgraded to IOS6 and now none of the files will open up on my iPad. I get the open in screen when I choose a file to open, then nothing happens.
In the meantime, I upgraded my iMac from Lion to Mountain Lion. Since I was having problems accessing my work files and viewing them on my iPad, I decided to buy Keynote on my iMac in the hope that I could get on with some work on iMac rather than iPad. I logged on to my school server and tried to open a powerpoint file and for some reason it downloads it as a pptx.exe and if I try to open it I get an error message saying "You can't open the application xxx.pptx.exe because Microsoft Windows applications are not supported on OSX". It shouldn't be a .exe file it should just be a powerpoint file! When I open Keynote and look for available files on my iMac, the file I just downloaded is greyed out.
Hmmmmm so I have an iMac, an iPad, two versions of the Keynote app (plus numbers and pages on the ipad) and can't open any of my files from my school network. That seems a lot of money in one pot Apple and something has changed from Lion to Mountain Lion, and from IOS5 to IOS6 which is preventing me from doing my work. IOS5 allowed me to open any ppt, xls, doc, pptx, xlsx, docx file from my school network so why since upgrading to IOS6 can I suddenly not open them??
Now having forked out for Keynote on my iMac, I have the same problem.
I am able to open attachments in emails and I am able to log on to the school VLE and access and open files. So it is just something to do with opening from the normal file system that I can't do.
I posted in the iPad and iWork forum and had no replies. However, Apple iWork team have contacted me after reading my post re the iPad issue of opening files from my network. I've provided info to them and am waiting for a response, but in the meantime I have now discovered there is also an issue on my iMac. Hopefully they will read this too or someone else will perhaps know what is going on.
It is a worry that I can't do any work using my Apple products seeing as I have bought them! I have had to go back to bringing my windows laptop home everyday which I hope is a short term solution. I have loved the fact that I could access everything on my school network from my iPad in the past and not have to drag a laptop around. I am also worried that this means pupils can't access the files too if they are using Macs, iphones, ipads etc and have upgraded to Mountain Lion or IOS6.
Hoping someone can help
Thanks in advance

Thanks for the response but I think you've misunderstood the problem. I can not open any type of PowerPoint file off my server in keynote. This includes .ppt and .pptx files. (Also includes .doc, .docx, .xls, .xlsx in pages and numbers).
Even if what you said worked it would take forever to go through every file and save them all as ppt 2007. Plus of course, I don't know what files I will need when. There are hundreds of resources I need to access when I'm at home. I need the flexibility to view the files when i need to and on the go. Normally I can download them off my school network on to my iPad in keynote and edit them then I email them back to myself ready to use the next day or to save back to my network. Currently I can not download any Microsoft office file. So I am now forced to have to lug my laptop home everyday, rendering my iPad and iMac useless. I can't pre-empt what I'll need and save it as .ppt as that is completely inflexible and that won't open anyways as this is not an issue with the version of PowerPoint file. This is an issue with how all Microsoft files are downloading from my school network to my iPad and iMac. I want Apple to allow this to work like it used to before the upgrades in operating systems. I wish I hadn't upgraded as it worked perfectly. :(

No, Pages and Keynote do not come installed on a new Mac. You have to purchase them separately.

Yes, anything you buy in the app store can be installed on your other Macs so long as you use the same Apple ID.
Can I upgrade Keynote and pages though I bought in online appstore?
Not exactly sure what you mean. If you mean can you install it from the app store even thought you already bought it, then yes you can.

The iWorks looks cheaper in the App store because you can buy each of the apps separately.

Is anyone having problems with keynote after upgrading to Lion?

After upgrading my system to Lion, my keynote presentations are becoming a nightmare. They crash all the time, and are becoming significantly slower, not just due to the autosave but after making just a few movements the beach ball appears and takes forever for me to be able to edit the document again. When I try to put into presentation mode the computer stops, sometimes I even lost the images inside the saved prasentation, and when I tried to recover from the auto saved versions, they were corrupted also. I talked to the apple support here in Brazil and after running all kinds procedures to check and fix the disk and hardware even in the safe mode, it still remained with the same problem. Another suggestion was to reinstall the keynote, and I even bought a new version from the app store even though the old one was updated. Again, nothing changed. Does anyone have the same problem or knows what to do?

Hi Thomas - listen, I want to tell you that we aren't necessarily all in the same boat...what I mean is that this problem almost ruined my business and I spent a long time reading the dozen or so threads in this board, and tried solutions people suggested in each one. I had two separate problems...the first was like yours, and it was indeed solved by the time machine save setting mentioned above. The other was that I couldn't get an object selected with a click of the mouse every tenth time or so...I had to click onto a different slide and then come back to mine. I started turning off every single piece of hardware and software one by one, in search of a conflict. It turns out that my Apple Magic Mouse was the problem. I switched it to a plain MS wireless mouse and problem solved. *****, but it let's me continue. My point is that too many people are using Keynote just fine for any of us to throw in the towel and say it's universally and irreversibly broken. There are different bugs in play, but you have to go on the assumption that there's a way out if you can spot what's not quite right. Sorry I don't have your specific solution, but this mindset is what saved me from jumping ship to PPT.

Using a Macbook 2008 with Lion 10.7.5, how can I project photos/keynote on smart tv screen? Macbook will not upgrade beyond Lion.

Using a Macbook 2008 with Lion, 10.7.5, how can I project photos/keynote presentation on my smart tv? It is connected to tv with mini-dvi/hdmi cable, but I don't know how to display the images. Thanks!

Did you switch the TV's input to the HDMI port you are using with the computer? Did you open Displays preferences to see if a second screen is displayed and then check the box to mirror to the TV screen? Did you search Google for any help links on how to do what you are trying to do?

Since I put Mountain Lion on my MacAir my PowerPoint and Keynote Presentations freeze up when I am presenting. This is so unacceptable when I have 75 - 500 people I am presenting in front of. I can no longer use my presenter tool either. Is there help

Since I put Mountain Lion on my MacAir, my Power Point presentations freeze up when hooked to an LCD projector. I can no longer use my presenter clicker tool that moves my slides as I walk among my audiences. This is totally unacceptable in the kind of work that I do. The Genius Bar person told me to try Keynote but that is even worse. I wanted to go back to Snow Leopard but because I have backed up my information on an external hard drive she said I cannot go back to Snow Leopard. Does anyone know of a solution to this problem? I have several presentations coming up in the next six weeks.

You need to move to Windows 7, because Apple is now releasing a new OS X version annually and it's playing havoc with people's hardware and software.
Windows 7 will get support until 2020, that's 8 years of software stability, however you do need to make System Restore disks, boot disk and another on a hard drive to self restore (like TimeMachine is for OS X)
Apple has no plans to change their currrent behavior as all they care about is selling new hardware with a shiny new OS X verison on it.
If you wait to move, what will happen is you'll lose that full 8 years and will have to swtich to a newer Windows sooner
Windows 7 machines are still widely avaialble, despite Windows 8 (a failure) being pushed currently.
Running three OS X operating systems on one machine is quite a chore reserved for only seasoned computer geeks, then it's only going to last X months as the next OS X version will be released, then the next a year after that.
Another method would be to get a virtual machine software (virtualbox is free) and install Windows 7 into that to ease your transitition if you cant' spring for a Windows 7 machine, preferablly a tower that will last a long time.
Here is a method to run Snow Leopard in Parallels, however it's a unapproced hack and not for the comptuer newbie.
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1365439
We have no control over Apple's OS X release cycle, nor the third party developers who make their own decisions what to support.
Our only choice as users to stop using both products and seek software/hardware stability.

Lion does not have "Save as." How do I change the name of a Keynote presentation?

How can I change the name of a Keynote presentation in Lion since it does not have "save as'?

This is so lame it feels like MS Windows. From a simple one step process it now requires first to duplicate, then ito browse back to the folder you were working in and then finally to type in a new mame. Why not just leave save as?????? This is getting so very anoying ...... just like windows with its never ending quetsions. Apple please bring back Save as.

Mountain Lion problems with Mail Signatures, Pages, Numbers, Keynote - This quick fix solved all my problems with these. Pages etc wouldn't launch and needed to be force quitted. Mail signature changes wouldn't save.

The solution was simple in my case. I don't know why it worked and it may have been entirely coincidental but its worth a try.
Close all applications and restart Mountain Lion.
Log in as Guest. I opened Pages at this point but I don't know if that's required.
Log out and then back in as your normal user.
Pages, Numbers and Keynote now were fine for me and Mail signature changes were saved and available for later use.
For those trying to edit the signatures to get their old ones back - I just found an old sent mail and copied the signature there into the newly created one via the normal preferences. No need for opening .mailsignature files and editing them. This included various colours, sizes, an image and a link with no problems.
I hope this helps anyone having some of these problems.

Keynote Crashing - with Lion. Most often when I switch out of Keynote to another program - Keynote freezes - says Application Not Responding. If I save the Keynote before switching, it does not crash - only when it says it is an "edited" file....help

Keynote Crashing - with Lion. Most often when I switch out of Keynote to another program - Keynote freezes - says Application Not Responding. If I save the Keynote before switching, it does not crash - only when it says it is an "edited" file....help

I posted this on another thread. See if this works:
1) Uncheck "Backup previous version" in Keynote's Preferences.
2) Make a duplicate copy of your file that has issues and save it.
3) If you still get spinning wheels from switching between apps after editing or 10 seconds of inactivity, manually save with command+s. It may beach ball here but be patient and wait for it to finish! Try editing and resume doing work now.
Command+s may be a bit slow but I think that might be normal since the files are so big.
Good luck and let me know if this works.

I can't use Keynote with Lion; the wheel is always running., I can't use Keynote with Lion; the wheel is always running.

I can't use kyenote for my presentations with Lion. I did not have any problem before using Lion.
I am yhinking to leave Lion.

I had this problem. Performance of Keynote 5.1 under Lion was unacceptable; it freezed for several seconds with spinning beachball every time I made a change to a slide. There are many blog discussions about the problem, which might be related to Lion's implementation of autosave/Versions. I used the solution described in this discussion (page 22) for downgrading Keynote from version 5.1 to version 5.05 (which doesn't support the Lion Versions implementation):
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3199161?start=315&tstart=0
This completely restored normal responsiveness to Keynote. Note that you need your original iWork '09 install DVD, and the script recommended to remove iWork takes several minutes to run. You also need to be careful not to let Software Update reinstall the 5.1 update.
It seems clear that Apple needs to release an update to Keynote to address this problem, hopefully soon.

Lion OSX and Keynote - One BAD combination

I've a LOT of PROBLEMS with my KEYNOTE PRESENTATIONS (> 500MB).... PLEASE HELP ME.... I need the app working like a 4 days ago in my SL...
I don't Know WHAT I HAVE to DO....

Lion and Keynote have become a massive problem for me and wasted a day, total reformate and reinstall of everything required. Stupid Lion just wrecks keynote, spinning ball, won't save, very slow and won't reinstall. what a disaster, sticking with SL.

Keynote with OSX Lion

I recently ugraded to OSX Lion and iWork as well.
The problem I have is in Keynote that when I try to edit a presentation, the computer doesn´t recognize the keyboard and I keep on trying, and it really makes me angry because I am wasting lot of time waiting for the computer to get back.
Is there anyone with this problem? I think is because of the versions feature, but I am not sure.
If someone knows what to do I will appreciate, otherwise I will switch to Powerpoint where I have no problem.

Is what you are seeing similar to this thread:

Appstore keynote won't open (mountain lion)

Just downloaded Keynote 5.2 from the AppStore (Mountain Lion 10.8.2).
The icon keeps jumping forever until the app loading hangs.
It does not crash or present any message, just stays there like a zombie. Not alive, not dead.
Anyone seem this before?

Gary, no windows open, just Keynote.
I manage to 'fix' it tough.
All that was needed was a reboot of my new Windows Mountain Lion
Never had to reboot a Mac computer so many times in my life.
Maybe a change of perspective is needed. >:
Thanks anyway.
