OS X Mavericks and iwork frequent crashes

Question

Hi there,
I have a late 2012 MacBook Pro with Mavericks and the new iwork suite.
The system and the program suite are unrealiable and unstable. I have frequent crashes using Keynote, losing important presentations. The screen freezes, forcing a mannual reboot. In addition, everytime I connect to projector, using keynote, the system crashes, and I also have to manually force reboot. After rebooting with the projector connected, the second screen appears fine. These problems are very frequent. I wonder if anyone has similar problems.
I am a poweruser, used to compile my own scripts and research programs. I use OSX since Leopard, which never had such issues. Since Mountain Lion, I can not rely on my computer as I used to in my old macbook white from late 2008.
Is there something I can do to stop these crashes?

Answer 1

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
In the Console window, look under the heading DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION on the left for crash or panic reports. If you don't see that heading, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
A crash report has a name that begins with the name of the crashed process and ends in ".crash". It may be under either of the two subcategories, "System" and "User." A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic".
Select the most recent of each and post the entire contents — the text, please, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post any other kind of diagnostic report, such as a hang log — they're very long and not helpful.
