New keynote is extremely sluggish

Yikes...you've broken keynote!  I am having a great deal of difficulty with the new Keynote...working on an iMac.  Moving objects results in multiple twirling disks of wait time...multiple tweaks when '09 keynote presentations are 'converted'...and the interface is way more labor intensive than the previous inspector.
Help please!

It's even worse than I thought. Importing slides from previous versions doesn't work. Either a whole slide or the elements of a slide fas the same result: No animations work. You have to redo everything . It's not only a careless upgrade is a scandal!

  • Macbook Pro extremely sluggish with new Wi-Fi service on Lion

    I just got new Charter wi-fi service, and my Macbook Pro with Lion is extremely sluggish when loading webpages. The speedtest is fine. Other Windows computers in the area seem to work fine.

  • Macbook Pro 2012 extremely sluggish and unresponsive

    I have a 2012 MBP that I purchased new earlier this year that has been a real pain to use.
    Spec:
    2.3ghz quad core i7
    4GB RAM
    500GB HD
    OSX 10.8.4
    Activity monitor always looks like there is tons of CPU and memory available, but I get constant beach balling just switching folders in Finder or opening a new tab in Chrome. Waking the thing up after opening the lid sometimes takes 3-4 minutes.
    Here is a screenshot of my Activity Monitor from a few minutes ago when it was acting extremely sluggish. I'm concerned that the page outs might be high? Any advice? Is it normal for these machines to act like this? My 2009 MBP that I replaced with this machine was never this bad...

    You need more RAM. You're swapping far too much to the hard drive so that you've so little 'free' RAM that I'm surprised that you can do much at all.
    The two best RAM distributors are Crucial and OWC. OWC tends to be a bit more expensive, so I usually go with Crucial. Visit the Crucial website and click on the System Scanner tab - a small app will download. Run it and Crucial will give you the recommended upgrades for your model (which can hold up to 16GB of RAM).
    Also see the X-Lab's Tuning Mac OS X Performance as well as Thomas Reed's Mac Performance Guide.
    Good luck,

  • In the new Keynote how does one find the Wrap Inspector to wrap text around a photo??? Thanks

    In the new keynote, the help section refers to the Wrap Inspector.  How does one find that or how does one wrap text around a photo??   Thanks

    You can also use the shape tool to draw a shape roughly following the outline of the graphic you want to wrap text around, change the fill and stroke to "none", then paste your text within the shape. It's a few more steps, but it opens you up to many creative alternative layouts.

  • Video clips doesn't work in new keynote

    I recently upgraded keynote after installing os x maverick.
    When I opened my previous keynote presentation, the new keynote asked to upgrade the movie quality.
    And you have to click this option, otherwise the video clips will only come out as pictures.
    But now, some of the video clips doesn't work.  The thing is, I do not have the original video files as these are presentations given to me by others.
    What's next for me?

    Having the same problem, would greatlyu appreciate a fix. does it matter if one upgrades to the iOS or Mac Keynote options?

  • Best way to add new dual band Extreme to existing b/g network

    I've been using a Snow Extreme and b/g Express, but have recently been having dropped/slow connection issues. I think this may be at least partially caused from the many other networks and other wireless devices in the neighborhood - I can see 30 or more networks at times. I've also gotten a new Mini and MacBook, both with n wireless, so I decided to get a new dual band Extreme.
    The faster connection speed of the new Extreme is very noticeable on my n capable machines. It also looks like the connection issues I was previously having may have been resolved, but its a bit early to tell for sure.
    First problem I've had is with setting up the guest network. If I attempt to set it up wirelessly, I get as far as changing the settings and restarting the Extreme. Once I do, it does restart, but then Airport Utility is not able to find it after restart. I am able to see the main and guest network in my available networks, but I am unable to join either. Once I turn guest off (via ethernet since Utility isn't able to see it wirelessly) I am again able to see it in Utility and connect to the main network. If I try to turn on guest via ethernet, I get an error and it does not restart.
    Originally the Snow Extreme was the main and the Express was used for wireless printing. My plan was to use the new dual-band as the main, move the Snow to the printer, and use the Express for AirTunes. But now I realize that I'm only able to print and use Airtunes on the main and not the guest network. Since the Snow and Express are b/g, are they going to slow down the main network? I am seeing these as clients in Airport Utility, which I didn't expect. If so, is there a better way to set this up than what I am attempting to do?
    I've got the radio mode set to 802.11n only (5GHz) - 802.11b/g/n. Am I able to set it up so that the n capable clients use the 5GHz band and the b/g clients use the 2.4GHz band so that they don't slow down the n connection, or would I even want to do this?
    Thanks!!!

    The jre is 14,872 KB (j2re-1_4_2_03-windows-i586-p.exe).
    If you silently install the JRE then then licensing doesn't appear to be an issue (no dialogs appear). See http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/plugin/developer_guide/silent.html. Silent installation is perfect for us since our customers are very nontechnical and would be very confused about the JRE installation dialogs.
    My main question remains: what is the best way to incorporate the installation of the JRE into an existing product. I solved the above-mentioned error 1500 problem by asynchronously starting the silent JRE installation after my product is installed, i.e., after the InstallFinalize step. This results in a bad human interface: the user is prompted with the final dialog with a "finish" button. However the mouse cursor is showing an hourglass intermittenly (kind of like when you logon to Windows after a reboot), for 25-40 seconds after this dialog first appears, until the JRE is installed. I have got to figure out a way to synchronously install the JRE while the user waits.
    I chose to do a private install (search for "private" in http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/pdf/plugin-dev-guide-1.4.2.pdf), which works, but I haven't yet figured out the best way to uninstall this JRE -- it appears that simply deleting the directory tree might be the correct way to uninstall.
    I have searched a lot of newsgroups for the "generally accepted" method to incorporate some Java programs into a product (i.e., how to install the JRE). I have not found anything. My conclusion is that I must be doing something that isn't done that often, either that or I've taken a wrong turn.

  • Is there a procedure to open keynote 09 files with videos in the new Keynote without converting videos?

    is there a procedure to open keynote 09 files with videos in the new Keynote without converting videos?
    I have a big presentation with many video mov and avi files created with Keynote 09. When trying to open the file in the new Keynote the procedured crashes and Keynote crashes abruptly. It seens that an avi file is not converted. I have no more the old Keynote 09. How can this problem be solved?

    if you right click or control click on the file, do you get an option to 'show package contents'?

  • Oops...adopted new Keynote and...

    a bunch of things don't work anymore. I use Polleverywhere quite frequently, inserting Polls into the notes section of my Keynote presentations. Instantly popped up without having to leave my Keynote document. Apparently, not any more. I can export my Keynote to Powerpoint and Polleverywhere works fine. But not with the new Keynote. Of course, to ensure that my old Keynote version was not making the new one not work, I deleted my old Keynote version. Reinstalling it from disk just results in crashes. My goose is cooked.

    and worse...OS 10.9 didn't detect my disk installed version of iWorks so I forked out $60+ for the new versions of Keynote, Pages, and Numbers.

  • Can't open new keynote presentation

    I just created a new keynote presentation and have the most recent updates on keynote. But I receive a notice that I "need a newer version of keynote to open this document."
    What's the problem?

    You have two versions of Keynote; the previous version 5 (which lives in Applications > iWork 09) and the new version 6 which lives in Applications.
    You get the "you need a newer version to open" message when a file created in 6 is being opened by 5.
    if you right click a version 5 file and select Get Info, in the Open with section select Keynote 5,
    then click change all.
    Perform a similar exercise on a version 6 file but select open with Keynote 6.

  • New Keynote and Music Videos

    I recorded a friend using Logic Pro, and then after bouncing the song to mp3, I added it to a Keynote slide (the new Keynote that came with Mavericks).  After that, I added a video and matched up the audio and video.  In order for me to upload this video on youtube, the keynote file would have to be in a quicktime format, so I exported it to quicktime.  All was fine and good until I opened the quicktime video and it was only 8 seconds long, and the audio and video were all out of wack. I tried and tried again, but to no avail. Suggestions?
    Cheers

    You've hit upon the solution -- create two presentations, one with the first part of the presentation without music, and the other with the second, musical half. On the last slide of the first half, create a hyperlink to the second presentation.
    (See this thread for a bit more detail on this issue.)

  • The new Keynote 6.0 doesn't allow me to insert a .avi

    The new Keynote 6.0 doesn't allow me to insert a .avi movie while version 5.3 does. Is this a bug or how can I get around it?

    I found the answer to the problem in another discussion. I don't know why I have to turn on the calendar at Icloud for the calendar to work.
    What if I didn't have an Icloud account?  It doesn't make sense...
    The user guide is not clear on this matter it says you have to subscribe to a calendar and that your calendar will be blocked if you subscribe, but it's the opposite... I
