New Keynote won't open.

I updated Keynote and now it is done, but i can not open the application "because it is still updating, and programs that are updating can not e opened", i don't understand, it is done updating and I have used it a couple of times after updating it and now i can not open it again...!

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:

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • When I try to open a new tab by using ctrl+t or by any other method, a new tab won't open. How do I fix this???

    i try to open another tab by using control+t, or by going to fill and pressing new tab, or by clicking the plus sign to add another tab, but none of these work and a new tab won't open.

    Uninstall the '''''Ask Toolbar'''''. It can cause that problem.

  • I'm trying to update to keynote 09. I've done this but the old keynote icon is still on my dock? and keynote won't open?

    I've gone into iTunes. Upgraded my keynote to 09 (ie with the blue icon instead of the brown wooden one) but still the old (brown wooden) icon appears on my dock. When i click on keynotes they won't open? I've got keynote already on my other mac and its paid for so shouldn't i be able to use on my second mac? (I use two macbook airs each day for work. switching between them.

    The previous version of Keynote is not deleted when you install the new version. There are serious problems using the new version of Keynote (which is version 6 not 09 as you stated).   Best advice until Apple sort these problems is to use version 5 to open existing files and only use version 6 for new presentations.

  • Keynote won't open existing file

    I uploaded the latest version of Keynote and still wont open my existing files even though it says to download latest version?

    Hello,
    I have version 5.3 now. I created the file in this version and it worked a few days ago? No changes, no updates. I go to install the latest version and my computer says it's already installed. ???? I already did all my updates for this computer. Now it won't open any of my keynote files that have been previuosly created, only new ones.

  • DVDSP3 Won't Make New Buttons, Won't Open Project Files

    HELP!!!!
    The button editor in my DVDSP 3.02 stopped working after it opens a new project file. I mean, when you go to a menu and then hold down the mouse button and drag, nothing happens. It will not create any new buttons. Even if you drag a button template over and use the pop-up submenu. It will not create any buttons.
    Worse is what happens when I open an existing project file. Then it stalls forever at the "Loading Menus" point in the "Loading Project" dialog. It doesn't crash, it just stalls there forever. However, if I click "cancel" - THEN the app crashes.
    But it won't make buttons in the new project files it can open, and it won't open any existing project files. Very confusing.
    Here's what I know and have done to this point...
    If I watch this whole process in the Activity Monitor, here's what I see. I find that two apps named "DSPX_AEncoderServer" and "DSPX_EncoderServer" get hung (and turn red) when the "Loading menus" point is reached in the document load. Sometimes DVDSP will say it's hung, too, but not always.
    However, I found that my DVDSP app still runs flawlessly if I boot from my "clone" backup drive, which is how I'm still able to get work done currently.
    Back on my normal boot drive, all of the other Apple Pro apps still run perfectly - FCP, Compressor, A-Pack, etc. But not DVDSP.
    OK, here's a clue, but I don't know what it means. Two months ago, I had the logic board replaced on my G4. All the pro apps made me re-register. Then this DVDSP problem appeared out of the blue. Nothing fixed it that I could find. What made it finally go away was the timely arrival of a new Security Update to the OS via "Software Update." Installing that made the problem with DVDSP go away, for good.
    Not doing hard drive maintenance, repairing privleges, fully optimizing OS, Disk Warrrior, Norton DiskDoctor - none of them worked. But that Security Update showing up, installing, and then doing the post-install optimize fixed the problem. That time. Or maybe it didn't? Because...
    Two weeks ago the FW ports on the "new" logic board blew, just like the original, so AppleCare gave me a third logic board.
    Same deal as before with all the pro apps wanting to re-register because they are seeing a different serial number in firmware.
    Also, just like before, I have this trouble with DVDSP. But I can't fix it this time.
    In the past three days (two of which were really one "large" day with no sleep period in between) here's what I have done in an attempt to fix this, without success.
    I dumped the receipts for the DVDSP v3 installs and upgrades, then I reinstalled the DVDSP components from my original disc, and then reinstalled the online 3.02 upgrade. No go.
    I did all of the above, except this time I found an Apple TechNote on deinstalling DVDSP v2. So using that as a guide I did my best to delete the app and all its supporting files, as well as the install receipts, before doing a fresh install of the app and the v3.02 upgrade. No go.
    I did a plethora of hard drive and system maintenance thinking that perhaps some files had been misplaced, a hard drive directory corrupted, a bundle bit here or there un-set, a few system libraries de-optimized, various font and system caches corrupted, as well as numerous log files too filled up with "essential" data to run correctly therefore in need of deletion.
    Along with anything else I could think of based on my 20+ years of supporting Macs in a production environment. Again, no go.
    So I deleted all the DVDSP files and receipts from my boot drive again. Then I dumped all the install receipts for OS 10.3.9 and ran the "combo" version installer for that OS upgrade. Next I dumped the receipts for the Security Updates and reinstalled those. Then I did drive maintenance, OS permission fixing and optimizing. Then reinstalled DVDSP and friends. Still no go.
    But my version of the app that is on my backup hard drive that I cloned right before taking the Mac to the shop for the 3rd logic board still runs just fine. I boot off that drive (connected via Firewire) and DVDSP will run fine.
    I'm confused.
    Now I'm not inclined to spend a lot more time on this since my DVDSP 4 upgrade is due for delivery any day now, and I'm sure that will work OK. Especially since I'm planning on moving to Tiger at that point, too.
    But in the meantime, it sure would be nice to know what happened to my "regular" copy of DVDSP.
    Can anyone figure this out, or at least give me some new ideas on now to troubleshoot this?
    Apple Support refuses to help me because I'm still using an "unsupported" version of DVDSP. Even though I'm still using it because my purchased upgrade is being delivered via "media mail" - the US Postal Service's version of the proverbial "Slow Boat."
    That was a difficult and frustrating conversation withthe Apple Support rep, too, let me tell you. I've been a fan, user, customer, supporter, and evangelist for Apple hardware and software since 1984. But when that voice on the other end of the phone essentially told me that...
    a) if I was not using the latest and greatest version of the software, AND...
    b) if I was not willing to spend several hundred dollars each year on support fees...
    ...then I was basically on my own and they would not help me. Worse, they didn't care that I was an old and loyal customer, or that I was even a stockholder in the company. The support system essentially told me to get stuffed. Yee-e-e-ow!!!!
    I was especially mad about this because I have this nagging suspicion that this whole problem I'm having with DVDSP is somehow related to some kind of copy protection scheme that Apple has going on but doesn't talk about.
    I mean why did I need to re-enter the serial numbers for all my pro apps when I changed logic boards? Is my problem being caused by some Pro App component that knows enough to stop working when it thinks it's been bootlegged, but doesn't know enough to trigger a re-registration of itself.
    At this point, that idea is beginning to sound more and more plausible as the cause of my trouble.
    Anyway, this problem is seriously hurting my workflow. I'm out of ideas and I need some guidance from the collected wisdom of the forum to solve this problem.
    Thanks in advance.

    I didn't see anywhere that you had downloaded and
    installed the latest proApplication Support file. If
    you haven't, you should do this next:
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/proapplications
    upport31macosx1039.html
    Hal:
    I had reinstalled that ProApps Support version, but I hadn't done it since I deleted all the app files and such, then done a complete reinstall from the DVD.
    So I just downloaded it afresh, and then installed it. Then I restarted, and then repaired permissions with Disk Utility.
    Still no go.
    I'm bamboozled. I thought I knew something about this stuff, but I guess it's good to stay humble.
    However, my 5.1 studio upgrade just arrived in today's mail. I think I'm going to take a chance. I'm between projects right now. So I'm going to upgrade my OS to Tiger>then 10.4.6 upd. Then I'll take a shot at installing the new FCP Studio upgrade and see what happens.
    Any comments or advice? Otherwise, wish me luck. I'll let you know how this works out with a post here.
    Sure wish I could figure out what's going on with my DVDSP v3, though. I really HATE to leave unresolved problems hanging out there. Seems like they always come back to bite you again if you don't deal with them.
    Thanks for the help.

  • 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.

  • New pages won't open on iPad; new pages shows installed on air book but won't open. Related?

    new pages program won't open iPad cloud documents without crashing--work around is to not open any documents in clouds, but it saves to clouds anyway; however, new pages program shows installed on air book but won't open new pages documents created on ipad without message "need to install a newer version of pages", which I have done. Are these two problems related?

    Double tap Home button and delete Pages from multitask-bar.
    Do a reset (Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons about 10 secs or more till Apple logo appears, ignore the Slide to Power Off that appears)
    Note: You will not lose any data.
    Try again with Pages.
    If no joy, delete Pages and redownload again.

  • Am trying to open a powerpoint presentation in keynote, but presentation is grayed out and keynote won't open. any ideas.

    I am trying to open a powerpoint presentation in keynote, but it won't open. Presentation grayed out.Ideas

    Firefox doesn't have any built-in ability to display PowerPoint files in a tab. You can check how Firefox is set to handle PowerPoint files in the Options dialog:
    "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Applications
    ''This list may take a while to load.'' In the search box above the list, you can type pow and let Firefox filter it down. Usually these would say "Always Ask" but you might have customized them to "Use Microsoft Powerpoint".
    There are some sites that have a Flash-based PowerPoint viewer, such as OneDrive/SkyDrive and SlideShare. Maybe Gmail has one now, too, I haven't checked. But all such sites also should have a separate download button, either before showing their viewer or as part of the viewer. If there are particular sites where you notice this problem, maybe someone know how to bypass the viewer on that site and go straight to a download.

  • New download won't open links, nor will it go to web addresses typed into address bar. Never had this problem with previous version.

    I just upgraded to the newest version of Firefox. In this new version it sometimes won't open a link even in a search engine such ask Yahoo. It also won't ever go to an address I type into the web address bar. I have never ever had this problem with a web browser so I know it's not me. I've never had this problem with Firefox before either. Please fix this bug.
    Thanks.

    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
    If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
    *In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    *In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>

  • Win 7 Firefox 3.6.13, new tab won't open when clicked, on desktop or laptop.

    I cannot open a new tab in Firefox 3.6.13, running Windows 7. It doesn't work on my desktop, or my laptop. When I click on the "+" to add a tab, or right click on it and choose "New Tab", nothing happens.

    I don't have an AskToolbar, nor a Yahoo toolbar. Between updating Firefox to 3.6.13, and MS Patch Tuesday last night, I cannot use right click to open a new window. I can open a link using right click and 'in new Tab' -- but I don't LIKE tabs! Lots of links on various pages won't open at all (it may be all of the links, I haven't tried ALL of them).
    I tried reverting to 3.6.12, and the same problem occurred. Does that mean it came from Microsoft? Re-updated to 3.6.13 and it remains broken. So frustrated I want to cry!

  • New Keynotes Won't Download

    My daughtor started a powerpoint on the new updated version of keynotes on her iPad. The files transfer perfectly to the laptop so she was going to continue to work on the project at home so that she could add photos and such. When she tried to open the document it said that there was a new update needed in order to open the document. When she continued to the app store it said that the update had already been downloaded. When she went back she still couldn't open her docment and it continues with the same process even now. How do I solve this issue??

    As I understand TS is has already started with the new keynote on the iPad. In order to be able to work on both platforms there are two options
    a. downgrade on the iPad
    b. upgrade on the Mac.
    Furthermore when you upgrade on the Mac with Marvericks, the former versions of iWork (with Pages,Numbers,Keynote) will still be on your Mac for use. In the new Keynote you can even export to Keynote 09.
    So even if you cannot get used to the new set-up of Keynote, nothing is lost.
    I've been working now for a couple of day's with the new keynote satrting with new presentations; it's certainly something to get used to. In my day to day practice I didn't miss sofar functionallity that wouldn't allow me to make great presentations. I notice several complaints on the internet about missing functions, I need to further exploit that, because some things have defiinitly changed.
    So far no major step backwords for me.
