Transferring Keynote presentations: files show up missing

I create Keynote Presntations on my MacBook Pro and transfer them via a flash drive to a MacMini.
The most recent presentation included ~6 video (.mov) files. After transferring the .key file to the MacMini I launched the presentation and got the error message that two of the videos could not be found, whereas the others were there.
Can anyone speculate why some of the associated videos might transfer and other might not?
Thanks.

I'm the original poster here and continue to have problems. I've tried both suggestions (formatting the flash drive for a Mac and doing an Archive maneuver). Both resulted in the same behavior -- 6 .mov files not being "found". Here's what I've been able to determine.
On the second .mac, if I right click on the keynote presentation and do "show contents" the "missing" movies are there. If I try playing one of the missing .mov files, Quicktime Opens and says it is missing some component to play the file, without any indication as to what that missing component is.
Also, all of the files show up duplicated in the keynote archive -- each with the original file name and an second one with a "-1" appended to the name (before the .mov).
Any ideas? This is driving me nuts. Going to try re-encoding the .movs to .avis to see if that works....

My keynote presentation file disappeared from hard drive ?

Hello,
Something very mysterious happened to me yesterday.
I've been working on a keynote presentation for a week.
I precise that it was my first professional work on my brand new
I7 Imac on Maverick, I am used to Snow leopard on a MacBook Pro
I've been working on for 7 years. I'm very new to Keynote (it's the 6.1 version)
and Maverick, but very familiar with OSX.
Yesterday, I imported many different files to my presentation by mistake,
it crashed keynote. Then, I cleaned up the folder containing all those
imported files, deleting some of them. I restarted Keynote, and there was nothing
in the "open recent" menu.
Impossible to find my .key file anywhere on the hard drive !!
Thinking that I maybe trashed it and emptied trash, I used many
data recovery softwares, in vain. My file has just disapeared, I can't believe
it ! The file is still in my "recent items" of Apple menu but impossible to locate
it with "open finder location" option.
In 30 years of using computers, It's my first mystical experience...
Anyone, found a way to recover the mysteriously vanished .key files ?
thanks for your help.

Just make sure it didn't end up in the cloud. If you open keynote, you get a choice.

Spreadsheet in a Keynote Presentation

I often make presentations to small groups. I often use reports in the form of spreadsheets. Since Numbers cannot use video out, can I copy a Numbers spreadsheet into a Keynote presentation and show the spreadsheet via Keynote?
I haven't bought Keynote yet but am thinking of doing so.

You have posted on the iTunes for windows forum, you might do better on the keynote forum here:

How can I make sure fonts in a Keynote presentation developed on iMac will show/match when transferring the presentation to MacBook Air?

It would seem (to me) this should not be an issue, but I have an iMac and MacBook Air with the identical version of OS (10.7.4) and Keynote ('09 5.1.1). Yet, the fonts don't match. Fonts I would regularly use when developing the presentation on the iMac do not transfer (create "Review" errors) to the Air. How can I fix it so that all the fonts on iMac show on Air?

If I am understanding your question correctly what you are wanting to achieve is not possible. You can't run the same keynote presentation on both devices at the same time. Also, why would you want to use the small screen size of the iPhone as your display instead of the iPad? If it is just to see your presenter notes then print them out and use the iPhone as your remote.
Perhaps more info is needed so i fully understand your issue.

Keynote 09 files not recognized as "Presentations" by Spotlight

I have folders with various presentations in Powerpoint, Keynote 08 and Keynote 09 formats. I have setup Smart Folders with search criteria that show me these presentations in a single view. I use the search criteria "Kind = Presentations" to narrow the search.
Keynote 09 files or packages do NOT respond to this query - Spotlight does not "see" them as being of the kind "Presentations". Keynote 08 and Powerpoint files are correctly seen as "Presentations". Spotlight sees Keynote 09 files simply as "Documents", and thus they do not appear in my presentations Smart Folder.
I have observed this on both of my Macs, each running 10.5.6.
Anyone here have a workaround until Spotlight is updated?

Good idea, Brie Fly. I hadn't used the more advanced Boolean options for search, so I modified the folder just to look for ".key" OR ".ppt" OR ".pptx" with the desired text string in the contents. Works fine until Spotlight is updated to automatically recognize Keynote 09 file types as being "Presentations".
For those who don't know about the advanced options in Smart Folders, just hold down the Option key while editing properties. Magic stuff happens.

How can I send a copy of my Keynote Presentation to someone else so that it will include my slide notes (uploading it to iWork seems to exclude my notes and only shows the slides). A quick response would be greatly appreciated!

I'd try Dropbox (http://www.dropbox.com/), which you and your recipient both have to have. It's easy, and the free version would probably be enough. There are any number of other services available for emailing large files (google that). Of course, your recipient must have KN installed to be able to view it correctly, or can view it in PP, but with some loss, primarily transitions/animations.

How can I connect my iMac [Mavericks OS] to my TV so that I can show a Keynote presentation on the TV?

I want to connect my iMac [Mavericks OS] to my TV so that I can show a Keynote presentation on the TV. I have a local wireless network. My TV is Internet accessible.

If you do not have this option, then I would suspect your Mac does not support audio over HDMI.

HT3697 I am trying to convert a Keynote Presentation to a cross platform PDF file. When using export it creates a 30mb file when it only need to be 2-3mb and so cant email or use it very easily. How do I get the file size down?

Can you automate an iPad keynote presentation like a slide show?

I have a very basic keynote presentation that I've created on my iPad 2. No fancy transitions, etc. Essentially slides with pictures and information. I need to have it run like a slide show and repeat itself over and over for a static display. Can someone help me accomplish this?
Thanks in advance.

Yes, you will do it by setting the transition options for the slides.
See how to do it here http://http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3701

When keynote presentation is emailed as a keynote file, the original sizing of texts and slide layout is incongruent with the original. Text is written over text. Some text is not included on the slide. The sizing done in the original creation isn't maint

When keynote presentation is sent via email as a keynote file, original sizing and spacing on slide is not retained in the email. Some words are not fitted onto the slide, others words are written over each other. The effort to create the optimal layout on the original is not retained. Please offer your insights into my errors. Thanks in advance.

Wauw... I'm always impressed by how bad Microsoft can answer these questions!
Dear Martin - Now let me do it short:
Adding text-shadow to p-tags (especially) in IE10, and you want to positioning your shadow by ex. 1px 1px 1px rgba(255, 255, 255, .5); it cuts the text (or make some part of your text invisible!). The issue is the blur-value! Set the blur-value to 0 or 5
- not in between, because it then starts cutting your text (has something to do with the combination of the lengths and the size of the blur-size, and probably also the size of your text)!
Instead of the example I just gave you, try this: text-shadow: 0px 1px 0px rgba(255, 255, 255, .5);
And Microsoft - please try and make an effort when people are writing you with bugs or issues in IE... You must know that your browser (all versions) has been and still are the ones with most bugs! If you wanna learn about the CSS-terms, you can go look
at http://www.w3schools.com/css/ or try Google it ;O)

How to have dynamic content in a Keynote presentation (ie from XML file) ?

Hi,
I need to update automatically the content of a Keynote presentation from an extrenal file (ie XML). The update can be executed when the presentation is launched, it is not necessary to do it during it runs.
Is it possible and how ?
Regards,
Pierre

If it will all fit in memory read the file as you are doing now appending everything into a StringBuilder. Then use the reverse() method of that class to obtain your output.

When I narrate my keynote presentation, why is the file size so huge?

When I narrate my keynote presentation, why is the file size so huge?

Here are the steps so you can see all the files that make up your Keynote…
Go to the Finder and find your Keynote file and make sure that it has the .key extension on it. If it doesn't, click it and command i to view info and uncheck the box that says Hide Extension.
Delete the .key and change to .zip and then click the use .zip in the dialog box that comes up
Double click the new .zip file and it will change it to a folder
Open the folder there are the files
Close the folder and add .key to the end of the name and click Add in the dialog box (this will change it back to a Keynote file)
You might be able to do this and convert the voice narration to a smaller format.

With your presentation open, click on each movie element and read the name in the Metrics Inspector > File Info.

Presenter Display Options Are Missing in Keynote 6?

I upgraded to Mavericks / Keynote 6 yesterday.
I have a dual monitor setup on my iMac27, and today when I'm trying to play a keynote presentation, it displays on the wrong monitor.
I seem to be unable to switch it to my primary monitor, because the "Presenter Display Options" tab (under preferences) that was present in the previous version is alltogether missing.
Anyone else have this issue, and a work-around?
Where are the "Presenter Display Options"?
Thanks, JB

Hi, everyone.
I, too, have encountered the same problem the first time I fired up Keynote to an external projector. After trying out all the suggestions posted here, I stumbled upon a simple remedy.
1. Ensure that the "Enable Presenter Display" checkbox is ticked under the "Slideshow" preferences tab of Keynote. I believe this is enabled by default.
2. Then right click the "Keynote" icon at the dock, and under "Options," assign to "None" or "All Desktops."
I found that this enabled Keynote to present my slides in the exact same way as the previous Keynote version did. Whether assigning it to "None" or "All Desktops" makes any difference or not, I cannot tell, but both options work. I hope this helps.
