Keynote won't open in all accounts on same machine

I started having problems with keynote ver2 on g4 17 inch powerbook after going from 10.3.9 to 10.4.4 so to solve the problem i purchased i works06 and installed it as an update however the problem persists
namely when i attempt to launch or open existing keynote file the program won't load or crashes before any thing happens on the screen
the really strange thing is i set up a new user account and then opened keynote and voila it works but not under the original(and prev only) account
i have restarted , run disk repair/permissions reinstalled trashed plist files till i'm blue in the face
mail is also acting weird since update
any suggestions or solutions??

if a new user works it's either your Keynote prefs (maybe you missed one?) or there could be a bad font in your user fonts folder. Past that I can't think of anything user specific that would crash Keynote.

  • Keynote won't open

    I tried to open a PPT file in Keynote and it crashed. Ever since then, Keynote won't open at all. It seems to open, then crashes in 5 seconds. Need to use Keynote on my laptop and I don't have my discs right now either.

    Are you referring to the iOS app that you tried to open a ppt in, or desktop. You posted in iOS/iPad iWork community. But refer to using the laptop.
    iOS only - Restart device completely by holding down the power button until the red slider shows up and shut down. Resart and see if it works.
    If that doesnt work, or its desktop only and restart doesnt fix it,  I would reinstall Keynote. Desktop can be done if you purchased through the AppStore I beleive.
    On iOS, make sure you sync your device prior to deleting Keynote. I had it delete all documents in my "iTunes: folder when I did this once. Use iTunes to copy all files in Keynote iTunes folder to your desktop, then delete and reinstall the app. Make sure you restart your device.

  • I have a mac laptop OS 10.6.5, and recently upgraded to Firefox 4 beta, but when I try to use my hotmail account, it either never stops loading and/or many files either won't open at all or keep crashing.

    When I open email in my inbox, they continually load and flash. I often have to use the "back" arrow several times to make it stop. Sometimes the message just won't open at all. Also, I can't open "sent" mail at all.

    There's an HTML5 compatibility issue with Windows Live / Hotmail that affects the Firefox 4.0 betas. A Hotmail rep has said that will be fixed before the Firefox 4.0 Release Candidate comes out.
    Try hitting the '''Esc''' key to stop that "cycling".

  • Safari won't open at all

    When I try to open Safari the icon just bounces a few times and the rainbow wheel spins for a bit and then nothing happens.
    Safari doesn't open, the icon stops bouncing and everything just goes back to as if I never clicked on the icon to open Safari. I don't know what is going on. Safari has always worked fine and this just started sometime yesterday out of the blue.
    I've read some of the other posts and I tried to open Safari via a different user account and that did not work. I did the cache/library suggestions from my user home and that didn't work. I also did the 4.2.2.2 suggestion in the DNS Server and that didn't work either. Safari just won't open at all. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Have you tried to repair the permissions? This is usually the first thing I do when something is not working right. If you recently installed a new application, sometimes the permissions can get messed up for other applications. Run Disk Utility which is in your Utilities folder to do this. You can find out more at http://www.learntomac.com/index.php/2006/10/15/repairing-permissions/
    Hopefully this will work for you!

  • I transfered my iWork '09 to my new Mac Air. Now my Keynote won't open. I get message, "An unexpected error has occurred, please quit and reopen Keynote." This doesn't work.

    I transfered my iWork '09 to my new Mac Air. Now my Keynote won't open. I get message, "An unexpected error has occurred, please quit and reopen Keynote." This doesn't work.

    so Keynote still isnt working after installing, I thought you had it sorted from your last post.
    If you have not done so remove any files relating to iWork and Keynote and reinstall iWork
    files that must go are:
    the iWork ’09 folder from the main HD > Applications;
    the iWork ’09 folder in HD > Library > Application Support
    the individual iWork application plist files found in HD > Users > (your account) > Library >
    There are a number of free application removal tools  that will do this for you:

    apptrap        webpage

  • Keynote won't open after updates! SOS!

    Hi, I originally started out with Keynote version 2 and I wanted to update it. I got as far as version 3.0.2 before I couldn't update anymore. Now, when I click on Keynote, it won't open at all. It simply bounces once and that's it. I need this desperately to open in order to finish my project for school. Help would be much appreciated!

    As I mentioned above, if you want Keynote 3, you'll have to buy iWork '08.
    If you want to use the Keynote 2 that you've got, you'll have to do some back-tracking: remove all the Keynote-related files (applications, plist's, and receipts),restart in "Safe" mode, then reinstall Keynote 2 and its subsequent updates.

    i been trying to purchase music and get into my itunes account but error -1202 won't allow me to get into my account or purchase music. I spoken with the so called experts at apple and they've been putting me through the ringer with their suggestions that don't work. i've been purchasing music all before with no problems why all of a sudden this problem? Can someone please tell what to do or give any suggestions as to why this is occuring.

  • ITunes won't open  at all... only error messages

    hey guys,
    no idea what's going on with my iTunes its really annoying though here's the scoop i got a lot of bad crap on my comp. so i had it formatted by a guy at work came home installed itunes opened it up it worked great all the sudden it closes itself and now it won't open at all i've redownloaded it at least ten times... nothing works... soon as i click on the iTunes icon it says iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close i sent the error report and it said Apple had a solution to my problem.. but after hours of searching i have found nothing so i'm just going to post this up hoping someone knows whats up (um just for some info i went to my add/remove hardware and quicktime wasn't in there... that's not right i think someone let me know lol)
    any help would be much appreciated really wanting to update my new songs on my iPod

    No thats not right, iTUnes uses parts of quicktime to play audio and video. You need to go here and download the stand alone version of quicktime. Now apple has recently changed this page to include quicktime with iTUnes and then qwuicktime only. get the one WITHOUT iTUnes,

  • When I open Mail, all accounts are offline.  It takes time to get them back online.  This is an on-going problem that has been chronic and it has finally gotten me "inspired" to ask the Community

    When I open Mail, all accounts appear offline.  I have to get back "online" before mail is delivered or sent.  Hassle.  Any Ideas??

    I was having this same issue all week. I'm also using 10.8.5 It was driving me crazy. I think I found a solution. I downloaded and installed the latest security update from Apple in the App Store. I have not had a reoccurance since (?). Maybe that will help you as well.

  • Mail suddenly won't open at all

    I clicked on the stammp icon for my mac mail about 3 days ago and it won't open at all. No matter how often you click, it does nothing. If I access it through the web, it works on the web, but not straight from the icon. My ical program quit opening the same day. Any ideas about how to fix this?
    Thanks!

    In the Finder, go to /Applications/. Can you see Mail there? Try to open it by double-clicking on it.
    Verify/repair your disk (not just permissions), as described here:
    The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
    Now, take a look at the following article, in case this is a font issue:
    Font Management in Mac OS X Tiger and Panther
    You may also want to read the following article:
    Multiple applications quit unexpectedly or fail to launch
    If the above doesn't work, proceed as follows to try to identify the problem:
    1. Open /Applications/Utilities/Console.
    2. From the File menu, choose either Open Console Log, or Open System Log, or both, so that the Console application displays the contents of both system.log and console.log.
    3. In the Finder, go to /Applications/, and try to open Mail by double-clicking on it. Look at the bottom of the Console windows for messages that might be written there as a result. They may provide some clues as to what the problem is.

  • Firefox has been crashing when I try to close it and now won't open at all.

    For some time now, Firefox has been timing out when I tried to close it, making it necessary to "force quit." Now it won't open at all. Even more strangely, I'm not able to send a crash report to Apple (I get the message "submission failed").
    I've tried downloading the newest version, downloading plug-ins, and starting in "safe mode."
    Also strange, in my bookmarks section the little icons had disappeared lately.

    Sorry I do not use Mac s Unless someone provides a better answer I suggest you start with looking at
    * [[latest firefox issues]] (watch for any updates about new issues)
    * [[firefox crashes]] <br> That article provides general tips and suggestions, and explains how to obtain a crash ID, something that you can do even when firefox will not start
    You may need to investigate the possibility of a malware problem, but try to obtain a crash ID first, that may provide a clue to the problem.

  • Invalid Library File - ITunes won't open - AT ALL!!!

    hi, need some help! ITunes won't open, at all. Have followed Apple's advice to recreate library (by locating library.xml and moving it to the desktop, while trashing the ITunes library.itl file)ITunes still doesn't open. Connecting Ipod to laptop does nothing either! Any advice would be great!

    Hey try this out:
    Turn Norton 2005's Personal Firewall OFF, (turn it OFF Permanently until your ready to turn it back on) then click CONFIGURE.
    Under the PROGRAMS tab remove any reference to Apple iTunes or iTunes or iTunes Helper Module or anything related. and reboot.
    After coming back go back to Norton 2005's Personal Firewall, click CONFIGURE. Under the PROGRAMS tab click ADD at the bottom, a SELECT A PROGRAM
    window will pop up. Add the following files one at a time, iTunes.exe, iTunesHelper.exe, QuickTimePlayer.exe, qttask.exe, QTInfo.exe. The last 3 are found
    in your Quicktime folder where that is in your system. Click OK. Turn Norton 2005's Personal Firewall ON, and try starting iTunes again.
    This worked for me. It seems the Quicktime files were never automatically entered into my Norton 2005's Personal Firewall allowable programs listing. Adding them
    manually should help. I also noticed that from my previous version of iTunes the program listed in the Firewall was named Apple iTunes and not iTunes after I upgraded to 6.
    Let me know if this works out.

  • Itunes won't open at all in Windows 8

    Ever since my computer froze and had to be shut down earlier today itunes won't open at all. When I click nothing happens. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling everything apple related, restarting my computer, moving folders around, etc. and no solution I've found online works. This used to happen on my old laptop (Vista) but restarting would always make it work again.

    Did you actually download the installer from Apple or did you use Software Update.  You can download the installer http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Maybe I'm old fashioned but I would consider repairing permissions first using Disk Utility because something caused this to go wrong the first time.  And of course make a backup of your whole library first.  It shouldn't happen but some have complained about their libraries being wiped out by iTunes updates.  Better safe...
