Opening Keynote 13 files in older versions of Keynote

I'm having trouble sharing files created in the newest version of keynote (5.1?) with other versions (4.4?).  I've tried exporting the file to Keynote 09 through "Export..." but my coworkers are unable to open the file. 
I apologize if this has been asked already but how do I either save a version that others can open or revert back to the old keynote?

It isn't possible to directly convert a D11 file to a D10
file. The
file format is not backwards compatible and there is no way
within
Director to save it as an older version. There is a guy named
Valentin
who made a XML exporter for the Director format, so using his
scripts
you can save the D11 version to XML, then reconvert that XML
into D10.
It is only a beta thing, and there is no official support for
it, but
you can try it for free and see if it works for you.

  • 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.

  • How do I open te files in older versions of Director?

    I made a movie in Director 11 and it doesn't open in director
    10. It show's a message like "file is too new". I tried to find in
    Director 11 an option for saving in older versions of director but
    I didn't find anything. How's that possible?

  • Can an older version of keynote play the files from keynote 08

    My friend has an older version of keynote and when she tried to play a file from keynote 08. She could not open up the file and instead she got a prompt telling her to get a newer version of keynote.
    Can she upgrade or will she have to buy iwork 08?

    If you export a file as a Keynote '08 file, she'd need Keynote '08 to view it. During the save, it IS possible to choose to save as an older version, though, if that's what you'd like to do. Also, if her computer can run it, she can download the iWork '08 trial. Even after it times out in 30 days, she will still be able to open and view presentations (just not save changes).

  • How can I open a keynote file that was made in Keynote Beta and downloaded from the web?

    I have Keynote version 5.3
    I want to edit a Keynote presentation made originally in Keynote Beta on the web.
    When I download it in .key it wont let me edit the file because it says I need a newer version of Keynote.
    When I try to download Keynote 6.0.1 I'm told I can't because I need a newer operating system!! I currently have 10.7.5 and there are no new updates.
    Can I NOT open a keynote file that was made in Keynote Beta??!

    Dude, the FCP-X forum is located here: https://discussions.apple.com/community/professional_applications/final_cut_pro_ x?view=discussions
    This is the Final Cut Studio forum.  There are no similarities between the two.

  • I don't want to upgrade to Mavericks now, how can I do to install an older version of keynote ?

    Is it possible to install an older version of Keynotes ?
    I'd like to wait a little bit more before upgrade to the new version.
    Thx

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    First, open the Mac App Store and try to purchase Keynote. Some users said it allows you to download the latest Keynote version compatible with Mountain Lion.
    If it doesn't work, purchase iWork '09 in a DVD at Amazon, and install it. Then, open  > Software Update, and install the most recent iWork version, or install it from the Apple site > http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1563

    How can I get an older version of keynote for my older Mac running OS Lion 10.7.5. I have it purchased for my newer Mac.

    Click here and follow the instructions. If they’re not applicable, buy an iWork 09 DVD from a source such as Amazon or eBay.

  • Why can't I upload and view older versions of keynote to iCloud but I can older versions of PowerPoint?

    Why can't I upload and view older versions of keynote to iCloud but I can older versions of PowerPoint? This just seems wrong.

    Try posting in the iTunes Match forum, you'll probably find more knowledgeable folks there.

  • Where do I find the link to download older version of keynote?

    I want to purchase an older version of KeyNote for my 2011 MacBook?  Where would I find the link?

    When Apple release new applications, they discontinue all previous versions, it is no longer available from Apple.
    Keynote version 5 is part of iWorks 09, its available from Ebay as a DVD disc only.

    I installed the InDesign CC Testversion and now i try to open INDD-Files from earlier Version. Always i get the error "This file is made by an earlier Version...." but it´s CC that is the latest Version. What is the problem ? Should i have to convert the files ?

    Adobe has been using confusing version names for at least five years.
    There are now two versions labeled CC, version 9 and version 10 (also known as CC 2014). Version 10 is the latest, and if you attempt to open a version 10 file in Version 9 that is not fully patched you will get an error message telling you that the file cannot be opened. The latest patch for version 9 should use a cloud-based service at Adobe to convert version 10 files to IDML and allow you to open that.
    I suspect you may be using an older operating system. Version 10 requires that your system runs at least OS X 10.7 or Windows 7 SP1 and if you are not it will not even be offered to you.

  • I have been able to open pdfs created in older versions of adobe, but not the newest version. Is anyone having issues opening PDFs sent via email created in version 9?

    I have been able to open pdfs created in older versions of adobe, but not the newest version. Is anyone having issues opening PDFs sent via email created in version 9? If so, what was your solution? I have PDF reader app as well.

    Can you open the files in Preview?

  • I have iWork '06 on my Mac (running OS 10.6.8). Will I be able to use the Keynote files it produces with the Keynote iPad app?

    Hi,
    I have iWork '06 on my Mac (running OS 10.6.8). Will I be able to use the Keynote files it produces with the Keynote iPad app?
    Thanks,
    Mark

    You probably can open the Keynote '06 files with Keynote for iOS but not the other way around. Files created by the iOS iWork apps can only be opened by iWork '09 apps on the Mac.

  • Using final cut 5 files, in older versions.

    Not what you wanted to hear, but no, FCP 5 files are not backward compatible. However, you can export an XML file of your FCP 5 project, then use the XML file to build a new project in FCP 4 and up.
