Photos dropped from keynote presentation

I am experiencing a repeated yet inconsistent problem with images losing their links in my keynote presentations.
Example:
I have a presentation in Keynote that was created from a new document, using a custom theme that I created several months ago.
The file has several images in it, mostly .jpg and some .pdf
After opening and editing it over several days, and versioning up on revisions, I saved it from our server to my local drive (MacBook Pro).
When I opened the file while traveling I found that over half of the images were no longer in place. They had been replaced by grey boxes with question marks, each indicating a missing file.
What causes images in a keynote file to lose their link? I've not found any suitable answer in the Help section or from browsing previously Q&A threads.
It acts like an InDesign file, only the option to relink images or package the file before saving it to a new location doesn't seem to be present.
Please help!
thank you.

Can you see the old photos in the backups? (If you're not sure how, see the pink box in #15 of Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.) If so, try restoring a few that way; if that works, try restoring whole groups.
If that doesn't help, try repairing your backups, per #A5 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.
If still no help, there are a couple of long shots in #E9 of that same link.

Retrieving movies from keynote presentation?

I made a keynote presentation last year with embedded movies
in the slides. Is there away to use the movie in other applications or other keynote projects
since I lost the original movie?
In other words i have a movie in the slide that I want to use elsewhere
I tried a drag and drop to the desktop without success. Any Ideas?

Right click or control click on the document icon and choose "Show Package Contents". You'll find your movie right there. (Another good reason to embed those movies, eh?

Photos dropped from Mac & Time Capsule

My problem started last week when iPhoto dropped all photos (about 6500) saved since 2006 (when i got my Mac). iPhoto now only shows photos saved prior to 2006 from files that were not in iPhoto previously (?).
When I try to have Time Capsule restore photos from the lost dates (2006-2011), I get a blank Time Capsule page showing "downloading photos" but after hours of waiting, no photos appear, nor are there any file names in left column.
Problem probably started while I was trying to set up a new program - maybe Mobile Me or iDisk.
I'm quite sure lost photos have not been deleted, but that I somehow locked them out.
Thanks for any suggestions.

How can I transfer a keynote presentation that is too large to email from my IPad 3 or my IPhone 5s to an Imac ?

Normally I transfer keynote presentations from my Ipad to the Imac via email. But if the presentation has many photos the email server wont transfer the file. I'd love to learn if AirDrop or some other method would help me. Thanks.

With Keynote 5 for Mac, using a file transfer service like Dropbox work perfectly.
With Keynote 6 there are many issues with images being lost in the file that this does not work.

How can i transfer a keynote presentation from an iPad to another iPad? I haven't a wifi connection.

How can i transfer a keynote presentation from an iPad to another iPad? I haven't a wifi connection.

Depends on how big the file is. If itis only a couple of pages, or mostly text, the easiest way would be to e mail it. If it is a very large file you are going to need wifi. Take both pads to starbucks, and e mail it from there. Or if you have wifi, use drop box, for example.
Your other choice, avoiding wifi would be a bluetooth type transfer. There is an app call bluetooth file lite that reads like it will do what you need. The good news is it is free. The bad news is that it has terrible ratings. For grins, i am installing it now on a pad and a phone, and will see if it works.
With a bluetooth method, you need both devices in the same place. If you are trying to send your file across country, bluetooth will not work for you. you need e mail or drop box type solution, and if the file is big, you will almost certainly need wifi.

I am trying to add a video to my Keynote presentation on my iPad. Since I am 2 hours away from my computer to use iTunes. Is there a way to move videos to the camera roll so I can use them?

I am trying to add a video to my Keynote presentation on my iPad. Ideally I would like to be able to play the video in the presenation sream rather than switch between apps. Since I am 2 hours away from my computer to use iTunes syncing to move them there is not an option. Is there a way to move videos already on the iPad to the camera roll on iPad 2so I can use them?

How do I give a large Keynote presentation from my new iPad?

Currently using a MacBook Pro. Trying very hard to pursue a seamless transition to using a Gen 2 iPad.
I can use iWork for the documents and can access photos and video off of the cloud. This one issue does seem to be stopping me. I frequently give a Keynote presentation that uses a series of video clips. These clips range from 14 seconds to 5 minutes in length.
I doubt I can even fit this amount of media onto my iPad. It does not seem possible to acess an external HD to use to feed the Keynote presentation to a projector or large monitor. Will this one issue stop me from transitioning to an iPad as my work device of choice?
Thank you.

There are some email services that have a space limit for attached documents

I am making my first keynote presentation. I transferred the slides from a power point. I did not use a 'theme' from keynote. Keynote will not let me 'name' the presentation and the 'save as' option will not come up in the menu. What have I done wrong

I am making my first keynote presentation. I transferred the slides from a power point. I did not use a 'theme' from keynote. Keynote will not let me 'name' the presentation and the 'save as' option will not come up in the menu. What have I done wrong

When it comes to Keynote, I try and start with a presentation that's 1680 x 1050 preset or something in that range. Most projectors that you'll get at a conference won't project much higher than that and if they run at a lower resolution, it's better to have the device downsize your Keynote. Anything is better than having the projector try and upsize your presentation... you work hard to make it look good, and it's mangled by some tired Epson projector.
As far as slides go, scan them in at 150 dpi or better, and make them at least the dimensions of your presentation. Keynote is really only wanting 72dpi, but I do them at 150, just in case I need to print out the presentation as a handout later, and having the pix at 150 dpi gives me a little help with their quality on a printer.
You'd probably have to drop in the 150 versions again if you output the Keynote to .pdf or Word or something, but at least you have the option.
And Gary's right (above) go ahead and scan them as TIFFs. Sooner or later you'll want to do something else with these slides (like make something for an iPad or the like) and having them as TIFFs keeps your presentation looking good.
Finally, and this is a big one, get to the location for your presentation ahead of time if you can, and plug the laptop in and see what you get. There's always connection problems. Don't let the AV bonehead tell you everything will work just fine ('... I don't have any adapters for a Mac...') . See it for yourself... you're the one that's standing up there. Unless it's your boss, then you better be really sure it works.

How can I launch an external app from a keynote presentation?

I'm trying to launch a Prezi presentation ("Prezi.app") from a keynote presentation, but don't know how to do it.
Links in keynote can only refer to websites or slides within the presentation, but not to start another App, like in - I hate to say it - Powerpoint.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Juergen

Keynote is specifically prevented from opening applications.
In Keynote 09 (the previous version), hyperlinks can:
Jump to a slide in the same presentation
Open a webpage in the computer’s default web browser
Open another Keynote document
Open an email message
Exit the slideshow
in Keynote 6 (the latest version) hyperlinks can:
Jump to a Slide in the same presentation
Web page
Mail opens a pre-addressed email message
Exit the presentation

How do I copy an image from one Keynote presentation to another one?

I have a previously saved presentation on Keynote in iCloud. I created it from my desktop at work. Some of the images I used for the presentation I want to use again in another presentation, onlh this time I am working off my laptop and don't have the same access to those images. Is it possible to copy/paste images from one Keynote presentation into another? I can't even seem to click on the image and save it.
Any suggestions?

Clicking and dragging does not work.
Click on the image and Copy and Paste
or
Inspector > Metrics > File Info > click on the icon of the file and drag it to your desktop
You can then drag that file back in wherever you want.

Is there a way to stream a Keynote presentation from my Ipad to my Apple TV, but be able to open a different application on the Ipad without it mirroring on the TV?

I have just bought an Ipad and Apple TV and am wanting to have a Keynote presentation playing through the TV from the Ipad, but be able to open other applications on the Ipad without them also being mirrored and interrupting the presentation. I know you can show presentation notes in Keynote without them showing up, but is there a way to open up a whole new application?

no it's mirror because it show the same thing on Apple TV and IoS device

Why can I drag and drop from Photos to Pages, but not to Microsoft Word 2011

I'm unable, under OS X 10.10.3, to drag and drop pictures from Photo into Word for Mac 2011. I can paste from Photos into Pages. How can I add Word to the list of programs that can take pasted photos pasted from Photos

Drag and Drop support is done programmatically as part of the application design. There is no user settable configuration, or list of programs that you can add Word too. Apple has supported drag and drop in Pages for a long time, and from iPhoto or Aperture picture libraries. Microsoft chose another path.
I don't have Office for Mac 2011, but I can state that Word 15.8.1 in Office for Mac 2015 Preview does not accept drag/drop of images from Photos either. It compensates by offering Insert ▸ Pictures ▸ Photo Browser… and when selected, displays an image panel not unlike Pages offers when clicking images from its Toolbar. At the top of this Word Preview panel is the Photos logo. It is from this Photos browser panel, that Word Preview accepts drag/drop of images. It may be that way in Word in Office for Mac 2011 too.

I need to play a song on a Keynote presentation, how do I do this ? I use to drag and drop the mp3 in Keynote but it stops playing when the slide move to the other one... how can I make the song keep playing through the whole presentation ? Thanks.

I need to play a song in a row in a Keynote presentation, how do I do this ? I use to drag and drop the mp3 in Keynote but it stops playing when the slide move to the other one... how can I make the song keep playing through out the presentation ?
Thanks.

Drag the file into the audio window in the Document inspector...
