Opening files from older versions of Keynote to newer versions

Grad student here trying to access her notes. I just updated my Keynote to version 6.2.2 from 5.1 (or so). I had tons of notes from previous classes on my Macbook I can't access because they "are not the right Keynote format."  I searched the web for solutions and tried the one with converting the .key to a .zip doc and back, and that didn't help. Anyone have any solutions?

Play safe and continue to use version 5 to open version 5 files. Unless you have deleted it, version 5 is in the iWork 09 folder in applications.
There are many issues with trying to open older file types in version 6, if they open at all.

    I am in the middle of a job using CS 6, but at the same time opening the Creative Suite apps.  I created an InDesign file in CS 6, saved it, and now I can't open it. I'm getting this message: Cannot open file because it was saved with a newer version of Adobe InDesign CC (10.1). You must use that version or later to open the file." AARRGGHH! So how do I access the file?

    Sounds like you opened and saved it in CC, so now you need to go back to CC and either complete the project there, or export to IDML to take it back into CS6.

  • Problems with opening files from older iMacs on my iMac6, 1

  • Some files in "DOCUMENTS" icon in dock won't open. Get msg saying You need a newer version of Pages to open this document." Have Pages 4.1 installed.  Same files will open ok from Finder, Pages App. Recently sync'd with ipad2 (Pages) after iOS5 installed.

    Some files in "DOCUMENTS" icon in dock won't open. Get msg saying "You need a newer version of Pages to open this document." Already have Pages 4.1 installed.  Same files will open ok from Finder/Pages App./selected file. Prob not noted until recently after sync'd with ipad2 (Pages) when I installed iOS5. Anyone-- please?!

    You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5.2 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Apple has removed almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

  • Hi, I just downloaded and installed Photoshop cc and the Camera Raw version is not the latest one available,so now I can no longer open files from my Nikon D750!  Can I update ACR?

    I just downloaded and installed Photoshop cc and the Camera Raw version is not the latest one available,so now I can no longer open files from my Nikon D750!  Can I update ACR?
    I have been using the new version of ACR with PS6 and have been able to open the D750 files,now I'm stuck.
    Thanks,

    You were probably using the Release Candidate version of camera raw 8.7, which one gets from Adobe Labs.

  • Can't open files from Bridge in CS6

    All was good with CS6 until today - it will not open files from Bridge. Jpg and RAW, neither will open, it's driving me bananas! Any suggestions?
    Edit: Problem solved. I had overlooked an old version of PS 7.0 was still in my program files and CS6 Bridge had picked it up as default editor. Deleted PS 7.0 and everything is back to normal. Phew!

    Lots of questions here, will see what I can add.
    For the file problem go to preferences/file type associations.  You should have the option selected CS6 for the extenstion as the default.  Might try the radio button on the bottom first to set them to default settings.
    If the 1.77g file you are refering to is the one you downloaded and used for installation you can delete it.  It is a wise choice to save it to a DVD first so in case you need it in the future you will have it.  Also save the serial number in safe place.  Acutally safe is not the right word, need to save in place where you can find it if you need it next year.  HD can fail.
    There are still thrid party plug-ins that do not work in 64 bit mode, hence the 32 bit version.  Also there is no 64 bit TWAIN so some still like to use that for scanning.
    Some users experience file association and other problems with an uninstall of past versions.  So it is safest to leave them be.
    If you want to clean up a little resist the urge to move any Adobe programs once is is installed.  Can really foul it up.

  • Word, PowerPoint and Excel Crash when opening Files from Sharepoint Site.

    Hello,
    I am in the process of rolling out office 2013 company wide. I have started with a batch of test users and a few including myself are reporting various office apps crashing with opening files from our SharePoint site. Although at times it will crash outside
    of the site. 
    I have tired running each app in various modes (Safe-mode, Compatibility mode ect) but the same results keep happening. Although it does not happen all the time on other users machines its more frequent. If i download the file and open it locally this does
    not appear to happen. 
    We are all running Office 2013 SP1 32bit on Windows 7 Machines. 
    One Common issue they everybody seems to have always points to "Faulting module path: C:\Windows\system32\VBScript.dll". I have done some digging but have not encountered any solution that points to this file. We constantly stay current on the
    latest updates from MS.
    Any suggestions would be very helpful.

  • Textedit doesn't open files. I think I have an old version, version 1.1. How do I update it?

    textedit doesn't open files. I think I have an old version, version 1.1. How do I update it?

    What OS are you on?
    Are you certain it is not compatible with this OS?
    Is there an error message presented?
    What type of file are you trying to open?
    TextEdit is a built in app, shipped with the OS, it can't be downloaded from the store, have you copied TextEdit from a backup or is it trying to run from a backup disk or other copy of the OS - Spotlight can sometimes find & try to run other versions. Eject any backup disks & retry.
    Try opening directly from /Applications (the Finders 'Go menu > Applications' will take you there).
    If you need to restore the App you will need to have it in a backup or use the OS installer.

  • Open files from a specific directory

    \r = return
    \n = linefeed
    \j = illegal escape character
    JFileChooser fileChooser = new JFileChooser("C:\j2sdk1.4.2\bin");
    You could/should use:
    (new File).pathSeparator
    or
    (new File).pathSeparatorChar
    and
    (new File).separator
    or
    (new File).separatorChar

  • Can't open files from iCloud Drive on Mac

    Hi,
    Can't open file from iCloud Drive on my MacBook Air (OS X 10.10.1).
    I created new file (in Numbers for example). Then Numbers->File->Open->iCloud Drive->my_file.numbers and it says "Can't open file my_file.numbers".
    I can preview the file by pressing Space, but openning from application and double-click on it doesn't work.
    Files that were created earlear also not opened.
    Does anybody know how to solve this problem? thanks.

    Using smtp.mail.me.com - also tried smtp.me.com
    SSL yes
    port 587
    SMTP Authentification Yes
    Security SLS/TLS - also tried STARTTLS
    User full **@me.com email address - also tried user name without @me.com
    I have spoken to apple support this afternoon and we tried the variations shown above.
    Support told me to wait for a day and try again!
    After the iCloud authentication problem last night I changed all my passwords I wonder if there is an SMTP problem at me.com perhaps not reading the updated passwords?
    I'll try and use the old passwords later.

  • How can I list open files from the same application

    I often have several different files open in Word, Excel or Adobe.  However only one is visible.  How do I get a quick list of the other open files from an application?

    Many applications have a Window menu at the top of the screen. Clicking on it will list all the open windows, as well as providing other options depending on the application.

  • PSCS6 no longer recognizes my CR2 files and will not open. Using Canon 5DMark III with updated Camera Raw . It has worked before but now won't open files from this camera.

    I have been able to open files from this camera before but still checked for latest Camera Raw download. Still won't open files from this camera. Opens files from my 60D just fine. I downloaded the latest and it has worked before. What the heck is going on?

    Glad to be of help. But I'm curious (not critical of what you are doing) to know why so many people like to use Nikon Transfer to transfer their files to the computer. It is still necessary to import them into Lightroom. And, from my perspective, it seems simpler and maybe even a little quicker to use the Lightroom import dialog. I have Nikon cameras, and have never even installed the Nikon Transfer utility. What is so unique about it?

  • New Macbook Pro transfer files from older Macbook Pro through WiFi--- BIG MISTAKE!! Two days of transferring!!

    I just bought the new MacPro 2012, why does the transfer of my files from my old MacbookPro to the new MacbookPro taking so long? It is taking over 2 days over the WIFi!! It is ridiculous! Why did Apple give up firewire? Maybe this is a complaint. There should have been a warning on the possible length of time that it takes to transfer files. Most of us have photos, video and applications to transfer. There needs to be another way to transfer files. Am I missing something?? What if I needed to USE my laptop for work? it has been out of commission for 2 days, because of the transfer. Should I interrupt it? What should I do?

    You waited two days?
    I would have stopped after two hours.
    I can do a full drive clone in under 2 hours, migrate manually in about a half a hour using a external drive.
    Should I interrupt it? What should I do?
    Yes, and there is obviously something wrong with one or the other machines.
    I would hold the command r keys down and boot the new Mac into Recovery
    Then use Disk Utility to erase the Macintosh HD partition
    (use one step from the right if it's a hard drive and wait, it's better for it**),
    Then reinstall 10.7 from Apple's servers (you need ID and password)
    Install 10.7 compatible programs from fresh original sources (older PPC based ones from 10.5 and 10.6 won't run)
    http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    You can learn how to reinstall your free iLife here as well as learn about Lion Recovery HD (partition on the boot drive)
    https://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
    Then create other user accounts (if necessary) and then transfer files manually into the same named account's when logged into them.
    You get a cleaner machine, because you find out what user files are corrupted on the original drive as those won't transfer as the drive will get stuck on them when you try copying/writing them in some cases. 
    This is know as a "fresh install" method, because basically only vetted files are returned to a new machine. Everything else is fresh and clean.
    I do this method with all new machines and haven't have a lick of trouble ever. Hard drives can be slightly problematic.
    **Sometimes what happens is a hard drive can't write data, this is where the secure erase method come in if it's a hard drive, as it maps off bad sectors ahead of time before laying of data when the secure erase is checked to make sure it occured.
