Saved keynote document could not be read. Error message says The document does not have a valid format.

Using Keynote '09 on an iMac OS 10.8.4. Two of my students saved a Keynote file then the next day when trying to open received an error message- The document "4b Molly.key" could not be read. The document does not have a valid format. The students are saving correctly. Any ideas how we can retrieve a working file? Why did this happen?

Just tagging on as I encounted this problem this morning. I'm using Mavericks, on MBP (late 2013).
Have both Keynote 5 and 6 - tried to open the file in both, to no avail. I have also tried the renaming of .key to .zip that seemed to work for others with previous OS, but does not fix now. Also tried uploading to iCloud, renaming, redownloading - no fix there either. I've tried to open on iPad and on a different user's iMac - again, get the same error.
It worked yesterday and the day before. It is a large file; however, I realized that from last night to this morning the only different thing I did was that I inserted photos in the keynote deck by drag & drop verses Insert/Choose and wondering if this corrupted the file.
I'm going to hope a fix is out there somewhere and that I don't have to spend hours upon days upon weeks redoing this 98+ page deck.
Any suggestions?

Did you delete all receipts with iDVD in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder and from the /var/db/receipts/ folder before installing the new copy? If not then do so and delete the new application also.

HT1386 When I try and sync my brand new iPad I get an error message saying the IPad does not have the latest iTunes but the Ipad says it is up to date and I am stuck in the middle? Help.

The specific message is must download iTunes version 10.7 or later?

You will need at least Snow Leopard (10.6.8) to install iTunes 10.7. Check the Apple link below for requirements and ordering info for Snow Leopard.

I am using iPhoto version 9.6 and I can no longer get an email sent with a photo attached. I get an error message saying the email did not go through because the server did not reply. I can send the photo with Mail. Help!

I have upgraded to Yosemite and also updated the iPhoto application to version 9.6. I am no longer able to send a photo from iPhoto via email. I get an error message saying the server is not responding. But, when using the same server in Mail, I can attach the photo and send it. My wife is using the older version of iPhoto and it works fine.
I have checked the settings for the outgoing server, etc. and the Mail settings match those in iPhoto.
Could this be due to either the Yosemite upgrade or the iPhoto upgrade?

This solution is for those of you using 2-step verification for your Apple ID and are using iCloud as the mail server that you are trying to mail photos with.
I too had this issue. The problem in my case occurred because I had setup 2-step authentication for my Apple ID. If you have done this then you will get the error message "the mail server did not recognize your email/password...". To solve the problem go to:
https://appleid.apple.com
Click "Manage Your Apple ID"
Verify your identity with the device you selected (if this step does not show up then you have not likely set up 2-step authentication and this is not your solution)
Click Password and Security in the left column
Click Generate an app-specific password
Enter iPhoto as the name of the app
Copy the password and paste this into the password box in iPhoto where you would normally enter your apple ID (in the mail account section in iPhoto preferences).
And...voila' (I hope)

Podcasts that I had subscribed to with my old computer are invisible in the iTunes store on my new computer. The error message says the podcast is not available in the US. Yet I could still download the podcast on my old computer before I switched. How can I fix this?

Hello, ted_marx38.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
The most common cause for this issue would be media present that is purchased with another Apple ID. When prompted to authorize the computer it may show a different Apple ID. If this is the case, the computer will need to be authorized for this Apple ID. The article below will walk you through the process of verifying if that is the case or correcting the issue if not.

How do I send files from my IMAC via bluetooth to my new Ipad? They will not "pair" but they are connected and discoverable. I send a file from Imac snow leopard OS X 10.6 to the ipadusing bluetooth, but the failure message says the ipad does not have the necessary services. What are these? Do I neeed to have iphoto and ms word to send pix and .doc files?

File Sharing over Bluetooth is not a feature of iOS devices. iOS does not include the required Bluetooth profiles to allow this. You cannot add this feature, so you may as well stop trying.

My downloads of iTunes and related software onto my Windows PC fails every time with error message that the software does not have valid signature. How to get around this problem?

I have trouble downloading iTunes software and related software like the new ios8 on both my desktop--Windows 7, and my laptop--Windows Vista, because I keep getting error messages saying the software has been deleted because invalid signature. I have tried download and install and I have tried just download, but neither method works. So I am stuck with the older software and my new iPad 2 Air isn't connecting because I need ios8 apparently.
I have an iPhone 5 and a new iPad 2 Air.
How to get around the Windows problem, please?
Thank you!

If I send a BCC email to my address I get ar error message stating the server does not allow relaying.

I set up my eail account so I BCC a copy of the email to my desk top. When I send an email from my IPhone I get a message stating that the recpient was rejected because the server does not allow relaying. I can send the same email, BCC myself from my desktop with no problem.

Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Your Account > Account Name , tap on SMTP (under the 'Outgoing Mail Server' heading) and then tap on your Primary Server and enter your email account and password and see if things work.

Error message says"the document Web could not be saved" help Please

After spending hours on the final tweeking of my iWeb site I go to publish it and get the message the document could not be saved. Is there anyone out there knows how to get this program to save I have tried everything and nothing. And as luck would have it I didn't keep a back copy of what I put into iWeb. Please help
thanks Jeff

Well I encountered the same problem and I had to quit and lose the changes but there is a way to save the information.
What you should do is first back up the domain file.
then before you quit and lose the changes, PRINT the pages as a PDF that way you save the information.
Then I reopened and started to match the pages in iWeb to the PDF's
Though I found out that when I copied some text into a Podcast page filler text from one of the PDF's it caused the same error.
So to get that piece to work, I deleted the text box and retyped that part and Presto!

I have ADOBE X reader installed in my systems. When I wanted to open an online pdf form, Mozilla puts up a error message and the form does not open.

When I try to open a online pdf form, I get a error message to close the reader and try it again. Sometimes, the message does not come but what I see is just a BLACK screen in Mozilla.

You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:
Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
*Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
*Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
*Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
Clear the cache and cookies only from websites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
*Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*Firefox > Preferences > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.
