SL and Keynote problem

I cannot import ppt files or video files. I use SL and the updated version of Keynote. The result is that I cannot use my presentations at all since upgrading to SL.
Anyone an idea? This seems like a Microsoft experience...

I have had my macbook bro for about 4 months. I had only this problem which is that trash wont delete and I had to use terminal command to delete them.
If you were having a problem with your machine, you should not have installed a system upgrade. It is always advisable to resolve any problems beforehand, as installing system updates/upgrades on a damaged system can only make the problems worse.
NOW after using Snow Leopard i hve these problems
1- MSN won't work
In what way?
2- Amsn won't work and that's because it's not compatible with SL
That is a third-party product, and not Apple's responsibility. Programs that quit working in Snow Leopard were most likely doing something skanky that they weren't supposed to be doing. If your workflow depends on this program, then you'll have to downgrade to Leopard until the developer gets it working on Snow Leopard.
3-trash still won't delete by the normal way.
What did you do to try to solve this in Leopard?
4-skip forward and skip backward don't work
Where?
I don't know how to get rid of SL and use the version before using SL, does anyone know how?
You'll have to do an Erase & Install of Leopard, unless you have a full backup of your system just before the upgrade. If you don't have such a backup, you should be sure you make one before installing any system update in the future. Something can always go wrong, and not having a backup is extremely risky.

  • Mavericks and Keynote problems

    Hey guys, I am trying to work with Keynote presentation on my computer and when I try to edit the presenter notes below the slides it stops functioning. I wouldn't say it crashes as it seems to work, no spinning wheel, and the menu bar works ok. Has anyone came across this weird thing before ?

    Hi everyone
    Konsta_ntionos I did not experience the problem you mentioned.  So ypu added one more.
    Amongst many issues twith regard to Keynote 6.0.1 I have difficulaties to import templates from Keynote 5.3 into Keynote 6.  This seems not to work at all.  Even templates from the App Store have to be imported one by one from the app in Launchpad. Does anyone has a solution for this? 
    I agree with TheMarkusAllen that this update of Kaynote (and Pages) is not the quality we expect from Apple.
    I hope they offer a solution to make us enthusiast again.

  • Problems with copying between Adobe Illustrator and keynote

    I have recently switched from Tiger to Snow Leopard. A lot of my keynote presentations have started acting up since. Many images that I copied from Adobe Illustrator (CS3) are reported as "missing" when I open the presentations. Also, some Adobe illustrator arrangements give keynote problems when I copy them into a presentation now. The problem here is that I can copy them into keynote but then I cannot duplicate them or copy-paste them again. If I save a presentation containing such images and try to open it after closing it, the same problem about "missing" images becomes apparent.
    In comparing with other computers used by my colleagues I have established that this does not have anything to do with my computer. It turns out, any machine running Snow Leopard has these problems but any machine running Tiger or Leopard does not. The problem is present in both keynote 4.0.4 and 5.0.4.
    In trying to narrow down the problem I found out the following. The problem is text box based. If I copy a text field (or an arrangement containing one of these) from illustrator into keynote and if that text field contains more than one line, and if that line break is mediated by the "shift-return" key combination, the problems I mentioned show up.
    Does anyone have the same problems/know a solution? It is quite a major flaw for me, it essentially means I can dump all my old keynote presentations.
    Cheers

    Welcome to the discussions, thetwelfthman.
    In copying these from Illustrator to Keynote, I'm assuming that they are pasting into Keynote as a PDF? Also, is there any difference between printing to a PDF then dragging that in and just copying/pasting into Keynote?

  • Problems opening files in pages and keynote from iCloud. Other IOS-devices show no problem

    I have problems in getting files opened on computer from Icloud. For both Pages and Keynote. Happens when they have been opened on Iphone og Ipad 

    I had this problem this morning also - couldn't open a Numbers file on my mac.  It hasn't been used on ipad or iphone but was shared with another mac user who accessed yesterday.  Now I also can't save a text edit file.  It is sitting on my screen but when I go to save it I get a message saying "the file untitled.rtf couldn't be opened".  My other numbers files (not shared) in icloud also get the same message when I try to open them.  I think this is an icloud server problem.  Hopefully they will fix it quickly.  I can open the files by going to icloud.com and using the webapps.

  • Is anyone having problems with numbers and keynote after installing ios7.1?

    Neither numbers or keynote will open after I installed ios7.1 on my iPad. Pages and Database open just fine.

    I have had the same problem but I seem to be getting somewhere to fixing it!!! My battery was going down at 20% an an hour now its 10% with constant use and 5 in standby !!! So improvement all round
    First I did a restore then I drained the battery i started to charge it and when it came on I turned the phone off completely and let it charge to 100% I then left it for a couple of hours on charge at 100. I saw no improvement after 1st drain so I repeated the drain battery and charge steps again with the phone turned off when charging and have seen a very big improvement. I am going to do it again tonight and hopefully problem solved!!!!
    The next issue is iMessage as that's playing up and wifi drop out
    Good luck

  • Audio (and other) problems noted with Keynote version 4.0.1

    Since installing Keynote 4 and the 4.0.1 update, I have noted the following situations and/or problems:
    1) When doing a "save-as" the filename is appended with the suffix ".key" but when I subsequently "save" this file, the suffix disappears. The file seems to open and operate OK nonetheless, but this puzzles and somewhat concerns me that someday Keynote may not recognize the file. This happens whenever I "save" a slideshow after I have made any changes to it.
    2) When playing back a "soundtrack," the audio "glitches" frequently at slide transitions: this occurs repeatedly on my G5 desktop system but not on my MacBook Pro-17. The "glitches" always seem to occur at the same places in the track - which, of course, is also at the same slide transitions. (This problem has spawned several similar questions and threads in this forum.)
    3) Related to #2 above, the "glitches" also interrupt or corrupt the "recording" of that soundtrack, so that the synchronization is off when the slideshow is played back.
    4) If I want to have an audio track play under a series of slides, the only way I have found to accomplish this is to create a separate slideshow with the audio track running as a "soundtrack" and "record" the Builds and Transitions in sync with the audio. If I want to incorporate several of these shows together, I can create a "master" slideshow and Hyperlink each segment to the next. HOWEVER...
    5) When I "record" a "soundtrack" and "synchronize" the Builds and Transitions within the slideshow, everything plays back properly in sync ONLY when the slideshow is played as a stand-alone presentation (i.e. a cold start from the desktop). If I initiate playback of the slideshow via a Hyperlink from another presentation, the soundtrack plays but NONE of the synchronization works at all.
    6) The only way I have found to have an audio track "fade-in" or "fade-out" is to use off-line editing software to record these fades prior to importing the tracks into Keynote. The "Start Audio" Build function is simply a hard "cut" in, and the end of the track is a hard "cut" out.
    These problems are consistent and repeatable facts. Whether they are "bugs" in the software or "design shortcomings" is uncertain. Nonethtless ...
    At the risk of offending the moderators of this forum, I feel compelled to comment that these problems render the audio operations of Keynote less than satisfactory and should be addressed as soon as possible with another update to this visually stunning but audio-challenged application.

    Well Ron S, I re-confirmed why I prefer not to look to tech support for support.
    It seems to me that support's main function is to deflect any critical comments and push the blame back to the user.
    Frankly, I have better things to do with my time and money than try to help a multi-billion dollar enterprise learn about itself.
    So, for the benefit of you and the nearly 400 who have followed this thread, I offer you my latest and probably last attempt to have Apple acknowledge in some small way that "Houston, we have a problem".
    I expect this reply will result in this thread being yanked as well, since I'm expressing negative thoughts about Apple's product and wishing they would do better, which is a non-technical gasp of utter frustration and disappointment. Note that "product" is singular, defining Keynote. My other Apple products serve me loyally and superbly, which is why my huge disappointment with Keynote.
    So here is my correspondence with Tech Support. I've removed names except mine.
    I think it speaks for itself. They have notes from my conversations with them that I have current Apple computers, including a MacBookPro, not an old PowerBook, nevertheless, they have told me that the problem is mine because the fabulous hyper-performing Keynote software is choking my poor old machine (paraphrased muchly).:
    Hi (support),
    That's disappointing news, especially since this test was done on 3 machines: an old G4 400, a 2.0G Dual G5 and an Intel core duo MacBookPro which yielded identical results.
    It is not a hardware issue.
    I do not accept a brush-off that it is my hardware that is causing Keynote to be problematic.
    I will assume that Apple is not interested in addressing these issues in public and that Keynote is substandard software that is in need of re-authoring.
    Sorry to be so blunt, but Apple has set this tone with Keynote, and used its considerable reputation as a leading a/v technology innovator to imply that Keynote will deliver the excellence we Mac users have come to expect.
    I have been a loyal mac user since the SE series and have enjoyed success with the machines and software offered by Apple, and depend on them for my livelihood. I'm currently using FC Studio6 and know that Apple is capable of maintaining its high standards.
    However, Keynote fails to do that, instead behaving like a product that was invented in a teenager's basement and is in beta. I realize that it's not designed as a FCP level product, but it fails at the basic tasks that you advertise it will complete.
    A version 4 product should work as advertised. Keynote certainly does not.
    I'm deeply saddened that Apple seems to have become an iPod entertainment company, interested mainly in profits from entertainment rather than serious useful technology.

    Hello Sir,
    Unfortunately, this does look like it's mostly a case of some of the new Keynote features slowing down the performance on the PowerBook.
    At this point, there isn't much else we can do in the way of troubleshooting.
    If you are not satisfied with the performance on the PowerBook, using the previous version of Keynote is probably his best option at this point.
    We will continue to research this issue, but at this point it's unlikely I'll be able to find additional suggestions for improving performance, as it looks like it is is reproducible and limited to older models.

    Hi (support),
    Thanks for your recent followup calls. I'm directing a video shoot so am a bit preoccupied.
    Here are the tests I mentioned.
    These are as simple as it gets, and I think highlights the synchronization problem with Keynote.
    Test 1 is straightforward, and demonstrates that a single unedited recorded audio track will maintain mouse click synchronization.
    Test 2 is the same file, but with audio modifications applied to each slide in succession.
    This demonstrates a dramatic synchronization slippage.
    The visuals occur before the click (and audio) markers. Keynote seems to be create delay in audio at each "record and replace" point. This accumulates as the audio is revised in successive slides.
    These tests demonstrate that there is a fundamental flaw in how Keynote handles audio in its most basic application.
    This does not address the slim toolset available, such as lack of insert capability and other basic audio tools, which is a separate design issue, and I suppose subject to "request for enhancement" feedback.
    I've reluctantly abandoned Keynote for my project work at present until these basic issues are addressed and it can be demonstrated that Keynote can successfully execute its feature set.

  • I have used Pages 09 and Keynote without any major problems until this new update. I have read many of the fixes but have a problem. When you get Pages 09 and Keynote back, Apples continues to want to update the 09 system. So it stays updated.

    I have used Pages 09 and Keynote without any major problems until this new update. I have read many of the fixes but have a problem. When you get Pages 09 and Keynote back, Apples continues to want to update the 09 system. So it stays updated. I have had to turn off my auto updating that was nice but I'll do it one at a time in order to keep the Pages 09 and Keynote. When something works don't mess with it. Any fixes out there?

    I can't say that I have had a problem playing videos in Flash because I could always play them in browsers other than Firefox.
    In Firefox Tools>options>Advanced Hardware acceleration is turned on.
    I don't know if that is different that tuning it off and on in Flash or not, but for now it is a moot point.
    As I stated in my previous message, after following all earlier suggestions/instructions nothing helped. But The latest one, someone suggested that maybe version 17 of Flash might be a stable version.
    I made no other changes except to install it, a few days ago, and so far so good.
    Many thanks for your help,

  • Font size problem in pages and keynote for iPad

    I've been using pages and keynote for just under over a week and when I go to make a table and set the font size in either of them, it makes the text very large even though it is on the very small setting, even if I try to cut and paste in text that was originally small once in the table it become very big, and when I try copying tables between the two apps it makes it even worse to the point that a 5x5 table takes up 5 pages or goes off the edge of the slide.
    Please help.

    i have a first generation ipad but i expect it works the same way. Have you selected tiny on the table font options? also, select Times New Roman. It is a bit smaller. The tiny setting should be the same as size 12 Times New Roman font. When you select the table (tap on it) there should be a small blue dot in the bottom right corner. that is used to edit the table. It is a bit annoying, but I have not found a way to copy things into the t able in the right format, you have to change it manually every time. Hope this helps!

  • I updated my macbook pro, received may 2011 and now iTunes, iPhoto, and keynote won't work. What should I do?

    In May 2011, I received my macbook pro. I updated it a while ago. When I tried to open iTunes it wouldn't work, so I deleted it from my computer and downloaded it again. The same thing happened with iPhoto, but I couldn't find a download for it. And now Keynote isn't working...What should I do?

    Here are some suggestions for getting the best results from this site.
    Create a user profile that accurately reflects your version of the Mac OS, or include that information in your first message.
    Give details of the problem. A statement such as "it doesn't work" conveys no information. If it did work, you wouldn't be here. Instead, you should post something like this: "I did A; I was expecting B; but I got C instead." Include the complete text of any error messages you saw and where you saw them: in an application window, a CrashReporter window, a log, or whatever. Also include the steps you’ve taken yourself, if any, to try to resolve the issue. If the problem is of recent origin, did you make any changes to your setup just before you first noticed it? Is the problem reproducible or intermittent? That is, does it always manifest itself when you take a certain action, or only at unpredictable times?
    Before posting, ask yourself whether it’s likely that you are the the only person ever to have had this problem. If not, search the discussions for answered questions similar to yours. If you found any relevant information, but it didn't help, include details.
    Post in the appropriate discussion area. Usually that means the area for the type of Mac you're using, if the problem is hardware-related, or for the Mac OS version you’re running, if it’s more software-related. Some other Apple technologies -- including iPhoto, iTunes, and Keynote -- have their own discussion areas.

  • Multiple Keynote problems after update

    Problem #1: Extended delays, program not responded.  Dozens of force quits today. Hours of wasted time looking at a beach ball.
    Problem #2: Images in presentation have been substituted for other images on different slides.  THe preview thumbnail looks correct, but the actual slide is not correct.  Tried copy/paste correct image and keynote swaps out automatically.  Only fix is to copy the image (I don't have all originals) to word, save as picture and then reinsert.  THis is not a good solution as we do these professionally.  Our business model is based on reproducing a template and customizing.  We can't be going to each of 50 slides and putting in the actual original photo.  Has to be a nice, clean duplication process like before. I even have one slide that removed the photo and instead took a text box and substituted that as the photo.  THe text box is now an image and you can't edit the text.  What the **** is that about??? And the issues are so random.  One minute a slide is fine, the next it is all screwed up. 
    Problem #3: Video functionality.  Well, of course all our presentations have videos.  And again, it's a duplicate of a master presentation.  So, if manually adding the original video file is the only workaround, that won't cut it. 
    Problem #4.  Simply can't open a keynote file.  We have one presentation made by my staff memeber.  It opens on his computer.  He saves it to the shared drive like we always do.  I can't open the file.  Won't tell me why.  Just says it can't open. Same version. System crashes.  He resaved once and finally It opens, but about 1/3 of the slides are corrupted with gray boxes and x's on the images and text.  I am now OVERDUE on my deliverable deadline for this client and it makes me look really bad.  I never miss deadlines!!!
    I tried using Keynote '09, but unfortunately all my new projects have been modified in the new version and now I can't open them in '09.
    Creating presentations is my livelyhood.  Keynote is my medium.  It needs to work. PLEASE!!!

    I found a solutions.
    After cancelling my presentation I continued to look for a way to open my files. If you open by selecting the file and clicking it will open with the Mavericks update to Keynote. However, under 'Open With' you can choose the older version of Keynote. Or, if you go to the Applications folder you can find Keynote there.
    Good luck.

  • Please Help! 10.6.8 Update and subsequent problems

    On Friday, 2/10/2012, the Software Update popped up and informed me that new updates were ready to be installed on my MacBook Pro.
    I clicked the update button and the updater installed the following updates:
    iTunes v10.5.3
    Security Update 2012-001 v1.1
    MacBook Pro Video Update v1.0
    Remote Desktop Client Update v3.5.2
    Keynote 5.1.1 v5.1.1
    Safari v5.1.2
    Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 6 v6.0
    Soon after installation Safari started crashing whenever I opened new tabs. I reset Safari and that problem went away.
    I also run a Virtual Machine (Windows Vista imported from a Sony Vaio). The virtual machine has never had a problem and I used it on Thursday before the update and it worked fine. However, after the updates, I can no longer use the virtual machine. It has been corrupted. I get a message that says "Unable to Access Hard Drive 1: input/output error."
    Then my whole Mac started running slow, especially Safari. In Safari, pages are slow to load and I get the spinning color wheel (or "beach ball," as I have heard it referred to) when I'm on any web page. Pages take long to load. After they load, I still get the spinning color wheel consistently.
    Other programs are somewhat slower to load, as well, and when switching between open programs, there are delays and even more spinning color wheels and beach balls.
    My computer has never had a problem until after I installed those updates.
    I have repaired permissions and I have also re-donloaded the combo straight from the Apple website, but that did not work.
    Is anyone else having this problem? Or has anyone else had this problem? What to do?
    Thanks.
    And, uhm, no- I did not have Time Machine set up, unfortunately.

    Grant, thanks for the reply.
    I have NOT been considering a new hard drive. My MacBook Pro is not even two years old, yet (I bought it in May 2010). So, the thought of having to replace my hard drive within 2 years has not even entered my mind and (as I stated) I only started having these problems within the past 2 weeks after having installed the latest updates via Software Update.
    Really, if my Hard Drive needs to be replaced after less than 2 years of light use, then I will just chalk this up as a lesson learned and just not buy another Apple product and would probably just buy a Windows-based laptop rather than replace the HD in my MBP.
    I am working on transferring my files (the ones that will still open and/or copy) to an external hard drive and doing a clean install of my OS X. I also am trying to figure out if I can somehow manage to save my pics that will not copy to the external hard drive but are saved on my iPad before I do so.
    I'm not a computer or Mac genius by any stretch of the imagination, but I do appreciate your reply and advice. Unfortunately, I don't have any idea what it means to re-write a "wvwey block with a known-good pattern." Is that something I have to do manually? You stated that the option is in Disk Utility. Is "write zeroes" an option that you can select or is something you have to input manually? Can you break it down in simple terms for me or give me some step-by-step instructions or a link?
    I apologize for my ignorance, but (again) I do appreciate your replay and advice as well as that of HackInt0sh.
    Thanks.

  • Lion OSX and Keynote - One BAD combination

    I've a LOT of PROBLEMS with my KEYNOTE PRESENTATIONS (> 500MB).... PLEASE HELP ME.... I need the app working like a 4 days ago in my SL...
    I don't Know WHAT I HAVE to DO....

    Lion and Keynote have become a massive problem for me and wasted a day, total reformate and reinstall of everything required.  Stupid Lion just wrecks keynote, spinning ball, won't save, very slow and won't reinstall.  what a disaster, sticking with SL.

Maybe you are looking for
