Problems saving keynote presentation??

anyone having problems getting Keynote to save a file - when I save it (has videoclips in it) it goes into endless spinning wheel mode until I force quit and then I lose data...
thanks!

Open the file. At the top.... click File> Save as> and see where you are saving it too. Odds are that is where the problem is. Like said before, change that "save to" to the "desktop".
You can do it!

  • Undo a saved keynote presentation

    Is there a way to go back in time (undo) a saved keyonte presention to icloud?

    I have the same problem; every time I open a keynote presentation I have to re-insert .mov files, and every time I close the presentation they are gone (that is, the thumb is there but the movie is not, and despite checking "copy audio and movies into the document".
    HELP.

  • Saved Keynote presentation as .PPT but will not open in Windows

    I have a new Macbook Pro with Keynotes (Dec 10). I had a presentation prepared in Windows 7 PowerPoint. It opens in Keynote but if I save as .ppt, it will not fully open in Windows PowerPoint 2010. The slides all open but there is no content. Keynote is version 2009 5.0.4 (633).
    Is there some secret to using Keynote - None of the previous items seem to address my situation.

    for what its worth, I've been trying to do the same today
    however the problem doesn't seem to lie with the Keynote to Powerpoint, as that opens fine on the same Mac
    it seems to be the resulting PowerPoint Mac file, copied to PowerPoint Windows that is stumping the presentation and producing the blank slides (which is does mention in the warnings that flash up on the PC when you open the file).
    Unfortunatley I cant seem to find an alternative to the Save-As version '97-2004 that Mac PowerPoint can produce:
    Keynote '09 v5.0.5
    PowerPoint 2008 v12.2.5 Mac
    PowerPoint 2007 PC 12.0.6557.5001 SP2

  • Rehearsing AND saving a keynote presentation?

    I have a keynote presentation that I have already delivered. I also have a good quality audio of the event. I want to run the keynote while listening to the audio file AND save the timings.  I would intend next to add the audio to the saved timings and then save the whole thing as a stand-alone quick movie lecture.  This should eliminate problems with different processor speeds on different machines.
    I know I can 'rehearse' timings in Keynote but can I SAVE the timings?
    Can I do this using Keynote/Garageband etc?
    thanks
    Ron Bailey

    There are a couple options for you here.
    Keynote can do this, but some users have had problems with the saved timing not being exact on Quicktime Export. What you want to do is Record the Slideshow. You can find this in the Play Menu. Add the audio as the soundtrack and you will hear it while recording. Then when you export, make sure you uncheck to include Recorded Audio in the Quicktime movie.
    The other option if your slides do not contain a lot of animation, and you are ok using different transitions, is to export the images of the slides and do the whole thing in iMovie. You can add the audio and set the length each image is on for.

  • I have a keynote presentation that includes a significant amount of video.  When I edit the keynote slides (not the video slides) how can I save the changes without re-saving the videos (because that takes a VERY long time)?

    I have a keynote presentation that includes a significant amount of video.  When I edit the keynote slides (not the video slides) how can I save the changes without re-saving the videos (because that takes a VERY long time)?  I edit the presentation depending on the audience to which I am presenting.

    If you add a new  slide with just a text box (therefore a very small amount of data),  to an existing presentation then save,  Keynote will only save the new content to the file,  it wont save  pre-existing content as its already included in the file.
    The time  taken to "save" will be very much shorter than a "save as" when all of the existing content is saved again.

  • I have several keynote presentations on my computer but now am getting the message that the program cannot be installed "because of a problem." All this started when I bought microsoft office for  University (2011). What is the problem and how can I fix

    I have several keynote presentations on my newish computer but am not unable to open them. I get the message "keynote cannot be installed because of a problem" (unspecified). Does anybody know why this happend? Does it related to using Microsoft "University"  2011? How can I fix it? Thanks!

    Thank you for your reply.
    I just tried the 3-step process suggested on http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2431353
    This all started when my mouse/thumb clicker was going crazy. Found an expanded battery. Obviously need a new battery. Unfortunately must wait 6 weeks to get my new battery. Meanwhile, I'm running my computer on AC only, as there appears to be no other option. I was informed that when using AC only (no battery) some high-energy-use programs like Office might not function.
    Do you know if there is away to use office even when just using AC and not having the battery in? I'm doubting if I have other OSX problems because everything else works: email, safari, itunes, iphoto, quicktime, etc . . . . ?

    I recently got a new Macbook Pro with OS X 10.9.1
    A free upgrade was done and included Pages, Keynote, Numbers. The only problem is that I cant send Keynote files i.e with extension .key through gmail. Even compressing the files doesnt solve the issue.
    PLEASE HELP!

    I can't send a KeyNote Presentation from icloud.com to gmail.com eMail Address.
    This is the Error Code:
    Reason: SMTP transmission failure has occurred

    After reading other posts on this and similar boards, I tried Pages and Numbers and can't send those files to a gmail recipient either.
    I can send to other eMail addresses I've tested however, it seems to be isolated to gMail accounts.

  • Error when trying to access keynote presentation saved as ppt

    When I export my keynote presentation as a power point (.ppt), I get an error message that states "there was an error accessing Macintosh HD:Users:" and then the rest of the file path. I am trying to save the file onto the desktop but it doesn't matter where I try and save it, I still get the error.
    Thanks
    Craig

    While I don't know why this happens, and you're not the only one with this problem, it has never happened to me. I don't think it's because of clean living , but perhaps something problematic about one or more of your slides, but perhaps not all of them. See if you can break up your presentation into smaller parts, try exporting a few of of them. If one or the other group works fine, it'll help you narrow down the problem.

  • Problems putting a keynote presentation on 30 ipads for sales team

    I need to put the Keynote App along with a keynote presentation on 30 separate iPads from sales people around the country. They are all synced to their personal accounts. When I sync to my computer, their apps get deleted, and then when they re-sync to their computer, Keynote and the presentation is deleted. Is there a workaround?
    Also, most don't have email set up on their ipads, so I have to install the keynote presentation through the iTunes App window. All are PC people too.
    Ugh! Got to be a way?

    Why didn't you do it properly from the start and have them pay for the Keynote app via their own iTunes account (which you could have reimbursed them for) and then just email them the presentation/place it on a website for them to download so they could sync it to their iPads via iTunes?

  • Is anyone having problems with keynote after upgrading to Lion?

    After upgrading my system to Lion, my keynote presentations are becoming a nightmare. They crash all the time, and are becoming significantly slower, not just due to the autosave but after making just a few movements the beach ball appears and takes forever for me to be able to edit the document again. When I try to put into presentation mode the computer stops, sometimes I even lost the images inside the saved prasentation, and when I tried to recover from the auto saved versions, they were corrupted also. I talked to the apple support here in Brazil and after running all kinds procedures to check and fix the disk and hardware even in the safe mode, it still remained with the same problem. Another suggestion was to reinstall the keynote, and I even bought a new version from the app store even though the old one was updated. Again, nothing changed. Does anyone have the same problem or knows what to do?

    Hi Thomas - listen, I want to tell you that we aren't necessarily all in the same boat...what I mean is that this problem almost ruined my business and I spent a long time reading the dozen or so threads in this board, and tried solutions people suggested in each one. I had two separate problems...the first was like yours, and it was indeed solved by the time machine save setting mentioned above. The other was that I couldn't get an object selected with a click of the mouse every tenth time or so...I had to click onto a different slide and then come back to mine. I started turning off every single piece of hardware and software one by one, in search of a conflict. It turns out that my Apple Magic Mouse was the problem. I switched it to a plain MS wireless mouse and problem solved. *****, but it let's me continue. My point is that too many people are using Keynote just fine for any of us to throw in the towel and say it's universally and irreversibly broken. There are different bugs in play, but you have to go on the assumption that there's a way out if you can spot what's not quite right. Sorry I don't have your specific solution, but this mindset is what saved me from jumping ship to PPT.

  • Image problems with keynote   dropbox

    We are having massive problems with images not appearing correctly in our Keynote when saved via dropbox. Images appear swaped with other images, or at times, completely missing all together. This has completely crippled the work flow at our business and we are at all but a loss other on how we can continue to properly work in Keynote 6. What can be done to remedy this problem?

    This is a MASSIVE problem. Keynote autosaves every single small change. With multiple team members on multiple locations it's virtually impossible to know if someone even does 1 tiny change in the presentation, while someone else is doing the same. The autosave makes this almost a certainty to happen.
    We had to do multiple reworks this weekend, because of this. It makes working with dropbox and Keynote virtually impossible. I asked around and all Agencies I know, having the same issue.
    One change on two locations, even by accident means:
    - Broken images
    - Broken videos
    - Mixed images turning on different locaties
    - Mixed videos turning on different locaties
    - Keynote versioning broke.
    - No dropbox versioning because of the new file format,
    Only thing that can save you is a local backup.....OMG!!
    It feels like a viral outbreak, and nobody is realising it yet....

  • Why is the font garbled in my keynote presentation?

    I saved a keynote presentation yesterday (notebook theme) and all was fine; this morning, though, the font (Bradley Hand ITC) is spaced wrongly, as if it's typed over itself... Weird. I can change the font as a workaround, but I'd prefer not to have too. I've only had my Macbook three weeks...
    tim

    Hi, and thanks for getting back to me.
    The weird thing is that I installed the latest updates this morning, and saw that one of them related to fonts. I opened the keynote presentation in question and it was fine. When I closed it and opened it again to check, the problem had returned...

  • 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.

    I would appreciate it if someone could advise me as to the optimum resolution, dimensions and dpi for actual photographic slides that I am scanning for use in a Keynote Presentation, that will be projected in a large auditorium. I realize that most projectors in auditoriums that I will be using have 1024 x 1200 pixels, and possibly 1600 x 1200. There is no reference to this issue in the Keynote Tutorial supplied by Apple, and I have never found a definitive answer to this issue online (although there may be one).
                Here’s my question: When scanning my photographic slides, what setting, from 72 dpi to 300 dpi, would result in the best image quality and use up the most efficient amount of space? 
                Here’s what two different photo slide scanning service suppliers have told me: 
    Supplier No. 1 tells me that they can scan slides to a size of 1544 x 1024 pixels, at 72 dpi, which will be 763 KB, and they refer to this as low resolution (a JPEG). However, I noticed when I looked at these scanned slides, the size of the slides varied, with a maximum of 1.8 MB. This supplier says that the dpi doesn’t matter when it comes to the quality of the final digital image, that it is the dimensions that matter.  They say that if they scanned a slide to a higher resolution (2048 x 3072), they would still scan it at 72 dpi.
    Supplier No. 2: They tell me that in order to have a high quality image made from a photographic slide (starting with a 35 mm slide, in all cases), I need to have a “1280 pixel dimension slide, a JPEG, at 300 dpi, that is 8 MB per image.” However, this supplier also offers, on its list of services, a “Standard Resolution JPEG (4MB file/image – 3088 x 2048), as well as a “High Resolution JPEG (8 MB file/image – 3088x2048).
    I will be presenting my Keynotes with my MacBook Pro, and will not have a chance to try out the presentations in advance, since the lecture location is far from my home, so that is not an option. 
    I do not want to use up more memory than necessary on my laptop.  I also want to have the best quality image. 
    One more question: When scanning images myself, on my own scanner, for my Keynote presentations, would I be better off scanning them as JPEGs or TIFFs? I have been told that a TIFF is better because it is less compressed. 
    Any enlightenment on this subject would be appreciated.
    Thank you.

    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.
