Missing images in keynote presentations

I have a number of image rich and weighty presentations. I have a problem in that when i open some of the presentations, each time i open them they seem to loose some images, that is, the images are replaced by a grey box with a cross through it and a question mark in the middle. I note that there are a few other discussions that have raised the problem, particularly around may '08. I had experienced the problem at the time and thought that the .3 update had solve the problem, but it doesn't seem to have. Kyn Drake was involved in one of the earlier discussions, I'm wondering if Kyn or anyone else has a recommendation and if upgrading to keynote 09 may be worthwhile.

  • How do I copy an image from one Keynote presentation to another one?

    I have a previously saved presentation on Keynote in iCloud. I created it from my desktop at work. Some of the images I used for the presentation I want to use again in another presentation, onlh this time I am working off my laptop and don't have the same access to those images. Is it possible to copy/paste images from one Keynote presentation into another? I can't even seem to click on the image and save it.
    Any suggestions?

    Clicking and dragging does not work.
    Click on the image and Copy and Paste
    or
    Inspector > Metrics > File Info > click on the icon of the file and drag it to your desktop
    You can then drag that file back in wherever you want.

  • Do images imported to Keynote retain their previous color profile? In other words, if the Keynote presentation will be shown using an sRGB profile projector, should the images be converted to sRGB prior to importing?

    Do images imported to Keynote retain their previous color profile? In other words, if the Keynote presentation will be shown using an sRGB profile projector, should the images be converted to sRGB prior to importing or can they be batch adjusted in Keynote?

    While I feel your comment doesn't directly address my question, why I am worrying is this.
    This presentation is to a camera club. Color is important. Images shown in meetings are projected by an sRGB color profile projector. Most serious photographers us a color profile with a bigger space than sRGB (typically RGB1998). If you project an RGB1998 image on an sRGB projector the colors go to crap. More precisely they become dull and lifeless. Thus, I am trying to determine whether I need to convert the images I plan to put into my Keynote to sRGB and boost the saturation PRIOR to importing them or whether Keynote has a way to do this as part of the software.

  • How to export Keynote presentation as images that retain their order

    When I build a Keynote presentation that I then export as images to show in photo album Keynote exports the slides as sequentially numbered images. When the images are uploaded to the iPad the order becomes random. Any one know a way to force the iPad to display the images in the desired order?

    weblizard,
    You can choose File > Print and then choose from the Print output options, including Slides, Slides with Notes, Outline, and Handout. You can also modify the Print outputs from the Options column on the right.
    Then on the bottom left of the Print dialog box, you will see a PDF button. Click on that button for options, including Save to PDF. This will create a nice PDF the selectable text and can include the slide for recognition and recall, as well as copy and paste into other applications.

  • Transferring Keynote presentations:  files show up missing

    I create Keynote Presntations on my MacBook Pro and transfer them via a flash drive to a MacMini.
    The most recent presentation included ~6 video (.mov) files. After transferring the .key file to the MacMini I launched the presentation and got the error message that two of the videos could not be found, whereas the others were there.
    Can anyone speculate why some of the associated videos might transfer and other might not?
    Thanks.

    I'm the original poster here and continue to have problems. I've tried both suggestions (formatting the flash drive for a Mac and doing an Archive maneuver). Both resulted in the same behavior -- 6 .mov files not being "found". Here's what I've been able to determine.
    On the second .mac, if I right click on the keynote presentation and do "show contents" the "missing" movies are there. If I try playing one of the missing .mov files, Quicktime Opens and says it is missing some component to play the file, without any indication as to what that missing component is.
    Also, all of the files show up duplicated in the keynote archive -- each with the original file name and an second one with a "-1" appended to the name (before the .mov).
    Any ideas? This is driving me nuts. Going to try re-encoding the .movs to .avis to see if that works....

  • Missing images and not able to use copy and paste anymore - just blank rect

    Hello!
    I've a problem that really scares me.
    I use severall png and pdf images. But at one point keynote looses the media and just displays these grey rectangles instead of some images. I tried to figure out if it just happens with pdf images and replaced the missing pdf images through png24 images with transparency. It first worked fine (they showed up) and then it tells images can not be saved. If I open the presentation again, the images are missing. And it seems that the more images and slides i put in the presentation, the more images are missing…
    But there is more: I even can't copy and paste these images anymore. If I try to copy one of the images I just have replaced (because they have been lost by saving), it just pastes the blank grey rectangle instead of the image.
    This really is a problem because I now have to repetitive tasks (like same animation for the same image in the same size) over and over again. And when I save the doc – they are al gone again…
    It really scares me and I don't have an idea how to solve this.
    It also happens, if I repleace an pdf image with an png image and than try to copy this new png image. However I am able to drag the image from the Finder again.
    I am working on a PB G4, 1.5 GHz, 1 GB RAM.
    My Keynote Version is 3.0.2.
    The Keynote Dokument is saved and opened from a G4 X-Serve wich is only used by Macs (so no Windows Filesystem anywhere). I still have anough space on both, my local and the server volume. I don't transfer the Keynote document. So it should not be a problem with the names on the files… And the files are just exported from Adobe Illustrator (png 24 files with "save for web" and the pdf files are saved as Illustrator pdf) – so they should really be fine and not corrupted…
    At this time the Keynote document has a size of 179 MB (because of a video) and only 16 slides. And the theme was built from scratch – so no import from Powerpoint or so…
    I looked through the Keynote preferences and found a thing like (sorry self-translated from german version to english) "scale placed images to slide-size". I wondered if keynote saves a copy of the sacaled image after that and corrupts the image itself? But I don't think so.
    I've had these problems with earlier versions of Keynote, but it occured just sporadically and I could solve it through pasting it again. But this time I can not solfe it anymore.
    Does anybody encounter same problem? Or has a hint?
    I really would appreciate, because I have to finish the presentation very soon and are not able to work properly with that. Furthermore, I am scared of saving and opinging the presentation again, because the lost files can not be replaced…

    I now have a hint:
    As a colleague said, he encountered some problems with usagerights on our fileserver (XServe). He said he wasn't able to read files he put on the server himself again…
    If this is true, the same could have happened to Keynote for placed images, as Keynote writes these images as separate files in the doc package…
    I will try to work on my local volume and see if it solfes the problem.
    But sooner or later I will have to place the whole thing on the server again…
    Do you think this is the reason?

  • How do you add multiple images in Keynote with the same slide formatting?

    I want to add 100+ images into Keynote for a photo slideshow, and I want all of the images to be preformatted using the frame/border style I set up in one of the  master slides...I don't want the images to fill the entire slide, and the goal is to not have to touch every slide and every image.  I know I can add images individually using the media button on the photo placeholder and the photo will fill the frame I have created, but I want to do this for all images at one time.  Is there a way to do this when adding the images into the presentation, or a way to format them all at once after adding them to the presentation.  Someone please help, I have looked everywhere and have had no luck finding an answer!!!  I accidentally made this happen last week when I was playing around but I don't know what I did and I can't seem to duplicate the results.  I feel certain there has to be a fairly simply solution, something I am missing.  I am working in the most recent version of Keynote (ver 6) and on Maverick OS.

    tspencer74, I have exactly the same problem and it's driving me nuts! I'm heartened that you managed to actually do this even by accident as I've not managed to make it happen at all in spite of much fiddling. So, the big question, did you find the answer? If so can you tell me what it is please?

  • How to replace a missing font in a presentation

    There are free fonts who present different names (e.g. bauhaus and bauhaus 93), but are practically identical. In the previous version of Keynote, when opening a presentation made on another computer, there was a warning if a font used in that presentation was missing in the Font book of the actual computer, and there was the possibility to substitute the missing font with one of my choice. In the new version 6.01 (2013),there is only a warning stating that the presentation has been changed, due to a missing "xy" font. Is there a way to have the possibility to choose the substitutive font again?
    Thank you.

    No, you cannot expect the document to print as it was designed to appear without the support files. The best you can do is replace the font with another typeface. Perhaps one that looks similar to Helvetica Neue Condensed. You can try that via the FindFont feature.
    As for the missing images, InDesign will render a lo-res proxy for screen and basic output, but those too are unsuitable for professional output and will need to be replaced.

  • Photos dropped from keynote presentation

    I am experiencing a repeated yet inconsistent problem with images losing their links in my keynote presentations.
    Example:
    I have a presentation in Keynote that was created from a new document, using a custom theme that I created several months ago.
    The file has several images in it, mostly .jpg and some .pdf
    After opening and editing it over several days, and versioning up on revisions, I saved it from our server to my local drive (MacBook Pro).
    When I opened the file while traveling I found that over half of the images were no longer in place. They had been replaced by grey boxes with question marks, each indicating a missing file.
    What causes images in a keynote file to lose their link? I've not found any suitable answer in the Help section or from browsing previously Q&A threads.
    It acts like an InDesign file, only the option to relink images or package the file before saving it to a new location doesn't seem to be present.
    Please help!
    thank you.

    Can you see the old photos in the backups?  (If you're not sure how, see the pink box in #15 of Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.)  If so, try restoring a few that way;   if that works, try restoring whole groups.
    If that doesn't help, try repairing your backups, per #A5 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.
    If still no help, there are a couple of long shots in #E9 of that same link.

  • HT202879 Missing hyperlinks from Keynote on Mac to Keynote on iPad

    I have a dynamic Keynote presentation with literally hundreds of hyperlinks that connect images to additional content throughout the presentation.  When I open the file in Keynote on my iPad, all of the links are gone.  Am I missing a step?

    Where are those 'additional images' ?  Are the hyperlinks URLs, or are they links to other files on the disk of your computer ?

    I would appreciate it if someone could advise me as to the optimum resolution, dimensions and dpi for actual photographic slides that I am scanning for use in a Keynote Presentation, that will be projected in a large auditorium. I realize that most projectors in auditoriums that I will be using have 1024 x 1200 pixels, and possibly 1600 x 1200. There is no reference to this issue in the Keynote Tutorial supplied by Apple, and I have never found a definitive answer to this issue online (although there may be one).
                Here’s my question: When scanning my photographic slides, what setting, from 72 dpi to 300 dpi, would result in the best image quality and use up the most efficient amount of space? 
                Here’s what two different photo slide scanning service suppliers have told me: 
    Supplier No. 1 tells me that they can scan slides to a size of 1544 x 1024 pixels, at 72 dpi, which will be 763 KB, and they refer to this as low resolution (a JPEG). However, I noticed when I looked at these scanned slides, the size of the slides varied, with a maximum of 1.8 MB. This supplier says that the dpi doesn’t matter when it comes to the quality of the final digital image, that it is the dimensions that matter.  They say that if they scanned a slide to a higher resolution (2048 x 3072), they would still scan it at 72 dpi.
    Supplier No. 2: They tell me that in order to have a high quality image made from a photographic slide (starting with a 35 mm slide, in all cases), I need to have a “1280 pixel dimension slide, a JPEG, at 300 dpi, that is 8 MB per image.” However, this supplier also offers, on its list of services, a “Standard Resolution JPEG (4MB file/image – 3088 x 2048), as well as a “High Resolution JPEG (8 MB file/image – 3088x2048).
    I will be presenting my Keynotes with my MacBook Pro, and will not have a chance to try out the presentations in advance, since the lecture location is far from my home, so that is not an option. 
    I do not want to use up more memory than necessary on my laptop.  I also want to have the best quality image. 
    One more question: When scanning images myself, on my own scanner, for my Keynote presentations, would I be better off scanning them as JPEGs or TIFFs? I have been told that a TIFF is better because it is less compressed. 
    Any enlightenment on this subject would be appreciated.
    Thank you.

    When it comes to Keynote, I try and start with a presentation that's 1680 x 1050 preset or something in that range.  Most projectors that you'll get at a conference won't project much higher than that and if they run at a lower resolution, it's better to have the device downsize your Keynote.  Anything is better than having the projector try and upsize your presentation... you work hard to make it look good, and it's mangled by some tired Epson projector.
    As far as slides go, scan them in at 150 dpi or better, and make them at least the dimensions of your presentation.  Keynote is really only wanting 72dpi, but I do them at 150, just in case I need to print out the presentation as a handout later, and having the pix at 150 dpi gives me a little help with their quality on a printer.
    You'd probably have to drop in the 150 versions again if you output the Keynote to .pdf or Word or something, but at least you have the option.
    And Gary's right (above) go ahead and scan them as TIFFs.  Sooner or later you'll want to do something else with these slides (like make something for an iPad or the like) and having them as TIFFs keeps your presentation looking good.
    Finally, and this is a big one, get to the location for your presentation ahead of time if you can, and plug the laptop in and see what you get.  There's always connection problems. Don't let the AV bonehead tell you everything will work just fine ('... I don't have any adapters for a Mac...') .  See it for yourself... you're the one that's standing up there.  Unless it's your boss, then you better be really sure it works.

  • Want to add some animated 3D visualizations to my Keynote Presentation

    I want to kick my Keynote presentation up a notch and add some animated 3D visualizations to further enhance my design explanation. It would involve creating some basic 3D models from scratch and then animating a sequence to explain how it is put together along with some other effects.
    Can this be done in Final Cut Studio 2? or do I need to look further? Anybody know what my options are?
    Thanks,
    Bill

    Bill ~ I haven't worked with 3D, but Final Cut Studio 2 includes _Motion 3_ which appears to allow only 2D objects (images & video) to be animated within a 3D space. If that's so, then _Maxon Cinema 4D_ may provide what you're looking for. More sources for Mac animation s/w is here:

  • How can I embed a Keynote presentation on a web page?

    I created a Keynote presentation using Keynote version 6.5 (OS X Yosemite). I found the "export as html" option, which creates an entire web page named index.html. I opened that web page in Dreamweaver, but I'm not talented enough to figure out how to turn that page into a proper index.html page, including the graphics, background, and links (etc.) that I want on my sites home page.
    I have also tried to embed the presentation onto a web page that I've already created, but I can't figure out how to do that, either.
    Can someone tell me if it's possible to embed a custom-sized Keynote presentation onto a web page and, if so, how?
    OR can you tell me how to edit the page that Keynote created when I open it up in Dreamweaver?
    I think the former would be easier, given what I've seen when I try to do the latter.
    I have been using Dreamweaver for many years - since before Adobe bought it - and the site I'm currently updating is already in Dreamweaver. That's why I'm asking about Dreamweaver (if you were curious).
    Of course, I've probably not provided all the information you would need to help me, so please ask questions. I won't be offended if they point out my ignorance!
    Thank you for any help you might provide.

    The only workaround I found was to use the desktop version of Keynote, which allowed me to export the presentation as a set of images to iPhoto. From there, they show up as an album and can be brought back to the iPad, and then played as a looping slide show in the pictures app. It worked perfectly.

  • How can I transfer a keynote presentation that is too large to email from my IPad 3 or my IPhone 5s to an Imac ?

    Normally I transfer keynote presentations from my Ipad to the Imac via email. But if the presentation has many photos the email server wont transfer the file. I'd love to learn if AirDrop or some other method would help me. Thanks.

    With Keynote 5 for Mac, using a file transfer service like Dropbox work perfectly.
    With Keynote 6 there are many issues with images being lost in the file that this does not work.
