PPTs exported from Keynote won't open in Powerpoint 12.2.8

When I export a Keynote 09 file as a Powerpoint and then try to open it in Powerpoint 12.2.8 I get the following error message. "There was an error accessing Symbiont:Users:Symbiodin:Desktop:02EpitheliatextA.ppt This happens with all files I export as ppts, not just one. Curiously, the files will open in Powerpoint 12.2.7? Has anyone else experienced this problem? Or better yet, have a solution for it. (-;{

I also had this problem. I found, by trial and error, that an image I had in my master slides caused the issue. When I removed it, exporting to PowerPoint worked correctly.
This image had been there for a long time, and I'm not sure what was wrong with that image. It used to export fine with older versions of Keynote. Or the latest Office update broke it. I'm not sure who is at fault, as I updated both.
Anyway, that might be something to try. Either in the master slides, or one of the slides.

DPX frames exported from Color won't open in AE (or any Adobe app)

Any ideas?

Hi
It's probably the metadata that Color writes into the DPX files, you get an additional piece of software to correct the the metadata, or alternatively try rendering them out as .cin files from Color not .dpx

Exporting from Keynote 08 using applescript or automator

Hi
Does anyone have a method for triggering an export from applescript of an open keynote presentation, I have an action that takes a sequence of images (exported slides) sorts and loads into an new presentation and I would like to then export as .ppt
This allows the sad ppt user to see the slides perfectly formed (and stops them editing and stealing my ideas). However the last step of the export I have to do manually as I cant see any actions in automator or anything in the applescript dictionary.
Any ideas
thanks
Jon

I have exactly the same question. I have been experimenting with AS. I found some code that almost works, but it won't select the PDF button. The sheet with the buttons is obviously not a radio button group, and I can't work out what it is.
tell application "Finder"
set draggeditems to (choose file)
repeat with thisFile in draggeditems as list
tell application "Finder" to reveal item thisFile
set thisFile to thisFile as alias
tell application "Keynote" to open thisFile
tell application "System Events"
tell application process "Keynote"
set frontmost to true
if menu item "Hide Inspector" of menu 1 of menu bar item "View" of menu bar 1 exists then
keystroke "i" using {command down, option down}
end if
click menu item "Export…" of menu 1 of menu bar item "File" of menu bar 1
repeat until sheet 1 of window 1 exists
end repeat
tell sheet 1 of window 1
click button "PDF" of radio group 1
click checkbox "Include slide numbers"
click checkbox "Include date"
click checkbox "Print each stage of builds"
click button "Next…"
end tell
repeat until button "Export" of sheet 1 of window 1 exists
end repeat
tell sheet 1 of window 1
click button "Export"
end tell
delay 3
keystroke "w" using command down
end tell
end tell
end repeat

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.

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:
trashme       webpage
apptrap        webpage
appcleaner   webpage

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.

MOV exported from Keynote - last slide disappears, audio continues playing

I have a series of three mov files that were created in & exported from Keynote. They are audio & slide shows that are to autoplay on a website. Two of the files function as expected once embedded in the website, one does not; the last slide drops out (displaying a white screen) while the audio continues for approximately 30 seconds until the mov file ends. To add confusion to the issue ALL the files play as expected using Safari (on Win & Mac). Using Firefox on Mac delivers the "broken" results. Using ANY browser on Windows yields the broken result.
Any suggestions from anyone as to what could be causing this? A link to the website I'm talking about is below. The problem file is on index2.html

Hi,
Since I am trying to do a number of things with Keynote, I read these discussions looking for opportunities and pitfalls.
I read your message, and saw your outcome as an issue. Since I've yet to add the soundtrack to my current project, I needed to know more about the outcome before I proceeded, in order to adjust accordingly.
I took my project, and added a song as the soundtrack. I played the slideshow, and the soundtrack played along, across the slides as it should. I then began to record the slideshow, but the soundtrack came playing through the speakers and was being picked up by the microphones, so I offed the speakers, donned my headphones, and re-began the recording. The soundtrack was playing (in the headphones), and I was narrating across many slides.
I played the recorded slideshow, and all was present - soundtrack and recorded narration.
I exported to Quicktime, sending the output to a new folder so that it could easily be found, along with anything else that might be generated. Upon completion, there was only one movie file in the folder. I opened and played it in Quicktime. It was perfect - slides looked good, narration was there, and the soundtrack was playing in the background.
This outcome appears to be your objective, so I'm not sure what I did differently than you, but from this experience, it works as should be expected.
Good luck.

After the Firefox update this week (Sept 7?) links from emails won't open. I get an error message. So I've temporarily set IE as my default browser, and the links work.

Hi everyone, I have Snow Leopard 10.6.8. I have been very very frustrated by this problem. [I could not create new windows, and anything that opens new windows, such as trying to see what Add-ons you have etc would not work]. I read about changing screen alignment to the top... I have one screen so the option does not exist. The above messages would not fix this problem. I searched hard and did find a solution in the end. I read stuff about removing Add-ons until the problem is fixed, but its simply not the case.
First of all open Firefox. next go to options: Help --- 'Restart with Add-ons disabled'. Tick the box for add-ons, restart firefox. Next go to Tools --- Add-ons. Next (In the Add-ons Manager' click on 'Plugins' on the left hand side pane. Look for the small blue writing that says 'Check to see if your plugins are up to date'.
Now notice it should say 'Missing Flash'. "For your safety, Firefox has disabled your outdated version of Flash. Please upgrade to the latest version". I followed this, reinstalled Flash and it now works as it always did, no problems. For people where the above fix didn't work, try this one out. Hope it helps people!

PDFs saved from Safari won't open in Adobe Reader

PDFs saved from Safari won't open in Adobe Reader - damaged file
iMac late 2009 8Gb 3.06 Intel Core 2 Duo - Safari 6

I encountered the same problem and tried doing what Suzanne did by right clicking the file and saving it to the computer first and then opening it.
And then after double clicking the saved file windows prompted whether I want to open it with the newly installed Adobe reader 9.0 or with Microsoft Word. I chose the Adobe Reader 9.0 and clicked on the check box asking whether we always want to open this type of file using this program.
I managed to open the file and best of all is after that I was able to directly double click on the pdf email attachments to open it.
Seems like that we need to let windows associate the file type with the program first.

Can't export from keynote 09 to quicktime

When I try to export from keynote 09 to quicktime 10 I get an error code there is not enough disk space or error 34. I have taken off some graphic intensive files and have 30 GB of space left, but that does not seem to help. Waht can I do?

Until you receive a specific answer from an expert, I would suggest finding somewhere to put unnecessary (or less important) larger files.
Macs need 10% free space to work correctly and 15% is much safer. Any less and you could run into all sorts of unpredictable problems. I think you will find that some of the free space is being used to process your exporting request, so that is multiplying the problem.

Combine movie and soundtrack exported from Keynote

Hi!
I have made a presentation in Keynote '09 and have added some audio as a soundtrack to it (playing throughout the presentation). When exporting to the Quicktime movie, I get two files, presentation.mov and presentation_soundtrack.mov (the option to export the soundtrack is of course selected in the export options window). When opening the presentation.mov in Quicktime player, the audio plays fine. However, I would like the movie and audio file to be combined in the same file. How to do this?
Thanks,
Mike

HELP!EXPORTING FROM KEYNOTE TO QUICKTIME AND IT CREATES TWO DIFFERENT FILES

I made a presentation in keynote, adding music from my itunes library and need to send it to a client (who owns a PC) ASAP.
When I export my keynote file to QT, it creates two separate files on my computer. One is the project and one is the "soundtrack.mov"
1. Why does it create two separate files?
2. How can I send the ENTIRE presentation in one?
3. How can I send it to a PC user?
4. Why did it tell me on my last music selection that I added to keynote (After I exported) that I would have to open it in itunes???
Totally NEED HELP ASAP!
Thank you

Pages, Numbers and Keynote won't open

Trying to use Pages - latest version - on my Mac, but it won't open. Neither will Numbers or Keynote.
Tried to reinstall, but the computer said no go.

Applications that can store documents in iCloud include Preview, TextEdit, Pages, Numbers, Keynote, GarageBand, and some third-party software such as "DayOne," "iA Writer," "MindNode," and perhaps others. If some or all of those applications are suddenly not working well, there may be a problem with iCloud synchronization.
Back up all data.
Open the iCloud preference pane in System Preferences and uncheck the box marked Documents & Data. See whether there's any improvement. If there is, continue.
Hold down the option key and select
Go ▹ Library
from the Finder menu bar. From the folder that opens, move this folder to the Desktop:
Mobile Documents (or any other item with a name beginning that way)
and move this folder to the Trash:
Application Support/Ubiquity
Re-enable Documents & Data, log out, log back in, and test. The folders should be recreated automatically. If the issue is resolved, delete the folder you moved to the Desktop.
If you continue to have the same problems, I suggest you contact iCloud Support.

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.

.swf file created from Indesign won't open in Flash Player

I have created an interactive flash presentation using Indesign. For several weeks I have made edits, exported a .swf file and opened the file by double-clicking it to open in Flash Player. From there I was able to export an .exe file with an embedded projector for users that may not have flash player. The file does not open and asks whcih progrma I would like to open with when clicking the file.
I am running Windows XP, Adobe CS5
Thanks for your help.

That sounds more Windows file association issue.Have you tried to Right-Click your SWF and choosed Open With (or something like that), you can choose Flash Player from that list if it´s installed.
