Keynote problems

I am having trouble burning a keynote slide show onto a DVD. I am able to get the video but not the sound. How can I bring the two together?

  • Multiple Keynote problems after update

    Problem #1: Extended delays, program not responded.  Dozens of force quits today. Hours of wasted time looking at a beach ball.
    Problem #2: Images in presentation have been substituted for other images on different slides.  THe preview thumbnail looks correct, but the actual slide is not correct.  Tried copy/paste correct image and keynote swaps out automatically.  Only fix is to copy the image (I don't have all originals) to word, save as picture and then reinsert.  THis is not a good solution as we do these professionally.  Our business model is based on reproducing a template and customizing.  We can't be going to each of 50 slides and putting in the actual original photo.  Has to be a nice, clean duplication process like before. I even have one slide that removed the photo and instead took a text box and substituted that as the photo.  THe text box is now an image and you can't edit the text.  What the **** is that about??? And the issues are so random.  One minute a slide is fine, the next it is all screwed up. 
    Problem #3: Video functionality.  Well, of course all our presentations have videos.  And again, it's a duplicate of a master presentation.  So, if manually adding the original video file is the only workaround, that won't cut it. 
    Problem #4.  Simply can't open a keynote file.  We have one presentation made by my staff memeber.  It opens on his computer.  He saves it to the shared drive like we always do.  I can't open the file.  Won't tell me why.  Just says it can't open. Same version. System crashes.  He resaved once and finally It opens, but about 1/3 of the slides are corrupted with gray boxes and x's on the images and text.  I am now OVERDUE on my deliverable deadline for this client and it makes me look really bad.  I never miss deadlines!!!
    I tried using Keynote '09, but unfortunately all my new projects have been modified in the new version and now I can't open them in '09.
    Creating presentations is my livelyhood.  Keynote is my medium.  It needs to work. PLEASE!!!

    I found a solutions.
    After cancelling my presentation I continued to look for a way to open my files. If you open by selecting the file and clicking it will open with the Mavericks update to Keynote. However, under 'Open With' you can choose the older version of Keynote. Or, if you go to the Applications folder you can find Keynote there.
    Good luck.

  • PowerPoint to Keynote problems

    I downloaded a PowerPoint presentation and opened it in keynote and now I can't hear any of the embedded audio. I have an old PC with office and was able to hear the audio on that but I want to use keynote and my imac. Is this a problem with converting the PPT to Keynote? Can it be fixed?

    I understand you don't own any Microsoft products, but have you also stated that "but the presentation MUST be given in PowerPoint" which I thought meant that at some point you have access to a computer which does have PowerPoint, even if it's only a few minutes before the presentation. I apologize for the assumption.
    The point being made is that Keynote is not a substitute for PowerPoint if your final output is going to be PowerPoint. If you have not opened the file in PowerPoint, then you don't know what it will look like in PowerPoint. As Tulse has posted, there are free alternatives to PowerPoint that would be better than using Keynote. BUT the same caveat still stands.
    I love using Keynote, have used it since it was first released and, enjoy the freedom to create the interface gives me. However, the right tool for the job is sometimes PowerPoint.

  • Can you help with keynote problem??

    I created a keynote presentation on my mac and now I want to be able to run it on my PC that has Office 2003.
    I exported it into a powerpoint file and burned it on a disc,but when I try to play it on the PC the music does not play and the majority of photos show up completely black.
    Is there a way to work around this problem?
    Thanks!
    Dana

    i do so, but the problem is still there. it seems that keynote dominates the date-/language-/formatting. yesterday i tried to change my system language to us english. i dont know anymore if it was better?! should i try to change the system to britisch english? the keynote "auto-correction" ***** ;(
    what you are showing is actually what i want, i am perplexed why this wont work for me?!
    notice, when i copy/paste the values from openoffice to a keynote table, all is ok.
    a copy/paste from this table into data-editor is the same effect like directly from openoffice...

  • Keynote Problem with Movies

    I wonder if anybody can help with a weird problem. I made a two-slide presentation I'm keynote that included a music track from iTunes. I exported to QuickTime and it worked perfectly. I uploaded the movie (.mov file) to Dropbox and the audio dropped right at the point where the second slide would have started. I then uploaded the the movie to Vimeo and the audio dropped in the same way. So to recap, the audio in the movie fully played out when I opened it in QuickTime on my Mac but dropped halfway through when I ploaded to Dropbox and Vimeo. Does anybody know why this is happening and how to fix it?
    Much appreciated.

    Probably because the iTunes file has an embedded  Digital Rights Management certificate which prevents unauthorised publishing of copyright music to web sites such as Youtube.

  • Keynote problems OSStatus error -12945 when trying to play videos

    I am trying to run a Keynote version 5.1.1 (1034) presentation on my new machine which has Keynote 6.1. Everything works except the embedded videos which give me this error notice OSStatus error -12945.
    Does anyone have any advice? I've got to give this presentation in a few days. Yikes!

    Use Keynote version 5.1 and update to version 5.3
    Transfering version 5 files to Keynote version 6 will cause problems.

  • Keynote problem with Narration

    Having migrated from Powerpoint and Windows to Apple I have been using Keynote - an excellent programme - with one major failing - bloody awful narration system - when will Apple introduce a system similar to Powerpoint so that you can run your voiceover across a number of different slides - you seem to have to record a whole piece and hope it stays in sync. Until Apple fixes this obvious failure of Keynote - and I presume they are or have it in hand for the next upgrade - who knows of a sensible workaround to solve this problem? Thanks Francis

    Welcome to the Forum;
    This problem has been lamented and discussed in several threads within this forum. Search on the terms: Narration, Soundtrack, Recording, etc.
    At present, there is no easy solution for keeping everything in sync over a long and/or complex presentation.
    The problem also has been reported numerous times on the Keynote Feedback Forum. When and if any "fixes" will be incorporated into an upgrade to Keynote, however, is anyone's guess.
    Good luck.

  • Keynote problems with keyboard shortcuts

    Is anyone having problems with keyboard shortcuts not working with Keynote?  Had this problem (and a host of others) since the upgrade to Mavericks and the latest Keynote.

    Hello,
    I can replicate all by problem number 1. Once the PDF loads, I can use the arrow keys to scroll up/down. All of the other problems you mentioned haven't been implemented.
    You're certainly welcome to send feedback to Apple, though!

  • SL and Keynote problem

    I cannot import ppt files or video files. I use SL and the updated version of Keynote. The result is that I cannot use my presentations at all since upgrading to SL.
    Anyone an idea? This seems like a Microsoft experience...

    I have had my macbook bro for about 4 months. I had only this problem which is that trash wont delete and I had to use terminal command to delete them.
    If you were having a problem with your machine, you should not have installed a system upgrade. It is always advisable to resolve any problems beforehand, as installing system updates/upgrades on a damaged system can only make the problems worse.
    NOW after using Snow Leopard i hve these problems
    1- MSN won't work
    In what way?
    2- Amsn won't work and that's because it's not compatible with SL
    That is a third-party product, and not Apple's responsibility. Programs that quit working in Snow Leopard were most likely doing something skanky that they weren't supposed to be doing. If your workflow depends on this program, then you'll have to downgrade to Leopard until the developer gets it working on Snow Leopard.
    3-trash still won't delete by the normal way.
    What did you do to try to solve this in Leopard?
    4-skip forward and skip backward don't work
    Where?
    I don't know how to get rid of SL and use the version before using SL, does anyone know how?
    You'll have to do an Erase & Install of Leopard, unless you have a full backup of your system just before the upgrade. If you don't have such a backup, you should be sure you make one before installing any system update in the future. Something can always go wrong, and not having a backup is extremely risky.

  • Mavericks and Keynote problems

    Hey guys, I am trying to work with Keynote presentation on my computer and when I try to edit the presenter notes below the slides it stops functioning. I wouldn't say it crashes as it seems to work, no spinning wheel, and the menu bar works ok. Has anyone came across this weird thing before ?

    Hi everyone
    Konsta_ntionos I did not experience the problem you mentioned.  So ypu added one more.
    Amongst many issues twith regard to Keynote 6.0.1 I have difficulaties to import templates from Keynote 5.3 into Keynote 6.  This seems not to work at all.  Even templates from the App Store have to be imported one by one from the app in Launchpad. Does anyone has a solution for this? 
    I agree with TheMarkusAllen that this update of Kaynote (and Pages) is not the quality we expect from Apple.
    I hope they offer a solution to make us enthusiast again.

  • Keynote - problem with playback of embedded video

    Hi All - I have embedded a .m4v movie in to my slide show (I 'dropped' it in). I check it - all looks fine as I want it to and I then record it. I export it as a Quick Time Movie.
    But on playing the movie of the Keynote slide show after it has recorded, the embedded video just appears as a black square with no image and a few seconds of faint speech.
    I have searched forums but a clear answer has not appeared.
    Please advise me on what to do!
    Thank You!

    Hi Gary, well, things have now become a bit more complicated....... For some reason I can not locate the original project in iMovie...... (If you have any light to shed any light on that too -  that would be great as I did nothing after Exporting. Assumed I'd saved it - though it automatically saves anyway - I thought.....)
    So, I have had to import the already converted m4v back in to iMovie as an Event and then re Export as per your suggested H264.
    Dropped back in to Keynote. Played the Slide Show. All fine. Recorded it.
    Played it back and all there is, again, is a muffled sound track and a black box with nothing happening at all!
    So, the glitch seems to be in the interface with the recording. It does, at ground level play within Keynote but the exporting and sharing is what I am requiring it for.
    I really do need this film to work. Any further suggestions please?
    Thank You.

  • Big Keynote Problem - can't open saved file

    Hello
    After spending a whole morning working on a presentation, Keynote '08 suddenly quit, with the normal message. Now the file I was working on will not open, no matter what computer (we have three in the office) or what I do. I have searched through these and other forums looking for help, and have tried everything I've come across (opening the package, deleting .plist, etc) but still no joy.
    Keynote can open every other file I've created in the past without issue. I'm not sure if it affects anything, but this file was a ppt file which I opening in Keynote and edited, then resaved as a Keynote file.
    If anyone could help it would much appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    I would try Open As, and see if it's a tiff, psd, or other format.
    If the file's not too big, put it up on a server and some of us can try to
    open it. Or email it to me mike - at - curvemeister.com
    Meantime, put on a new pot of coffee and start doing the work over again.
    All of us wind up doing redos for one reason or another, and you'll be
    surprised how fast it goes the second time.

  • Color Window in Keynote Problems

    I am working in Keynote and find I cannot get back to the full Color Wheel. Under Palette all I have a choice of is Web safe colors, Developer, Crayons and Apple Colors. Very limiting. Color wheel is not available. I must have turned something off, but can't determine what it is. Any suggestions?

  • Keynote problems after update, can't open it.

    Has ayone had trouble opening keynote after updating the app.  When I click to open it says I have to update it, already updtated it.  When I look in the app store it says updated.  But I can't open my keynote.

    Hello Mrs. JD,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with Keynote on your Mac.  You may have the current version of Keynote as well as the previous version in your Applications folder.  When you click on a document, it may be pointing to the older version of Keynote, but you can change all your Keynote documents to open with the newest version of Keynote.
    You can change the application a document will open with by navigating to the document in Finder and following these steps:
    Permanently change the document’s app
    Select the document and choose File > Get Info.
    In the Info window, click the triangle next to “Open with” to expand the section.
    Choose an app from the pop-up menu, or choose Other to locate a different app.
    If you want to use that app to open all documents of the same type as the current document and created by the same app, click Change All.
