Trouble Saving Keynote Document

I have created a Keynote presentation on my iMac and have transfered it to my MBP via sharing over my home network. The presentation opens and works fine on the MBP but if I try to save the file on the MBP I receive the following error message "the document (name) could not be saved." Is this a permissions issue? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Cliff

For what it's worth, I think this is smb related, because if I unmount the server drive, then connect under the goto menu with afp://servername, I am able to save edited files just fine. Any ideas?

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?

Trouble saving multiple documents with Adobe Reader 10

I am unable to download and save multiple PDF documents from a web site. Since I upgraded to Reader 10 this has been a problem.
The first document saves with no problem, However I can't save a second document (have tried using the icon on top of the page as well as the one on the new bar on the document).   When I log off the site and go back in I still can not download the second document.
However, when I log out and shut down the browser, and then restart the browser I have no problem downloading the second document but can not download another PDF.   I use Firefox 3.6.13 as my browser.
Is there a solution other than trying to reinstall Adobe 9?

After installing Reader 10 (aka Reader X), I had exact same problem --trying to save multiple documents via Firefox browser (up-to-date version 3.6.13), only first document can be saved -- attempts to save 2nd document results in nothing happening. Uninstalled and reinstalled Reader 10, problem same. After closing browser, waiting a couple of minutes, could then save 2nd file -- but then could not save 3rd file right away, etc.   Gave up -- uninstalled Reader 10 and went back to Reader 9.4 -- no problems with old version. Based on other comments on this forum, it seems like Reader 10 is not ready for prime time.

I am having trouble saving a document. I go to file, save, name the document and when i enter i receive a message "the file "untitled" couldn't be opened. What am I doing wrong?

Is this the only way to save a document in pages 5?

The solution to this was given by Kreklo in 2 posts in the following thread:

Good luck!

I encountered a problem saving a document I just wrote, can someone help me? See my summary

I'm having trouble saving a document. I copied and pasted a graphic onto the page and was about to save the project when a spinning colorful wheel appeared. It will not allow me to do anything, let alone save the document. I don't want to loose the document I have worked so hard to produce. What can I do? I can use internet, but I cannot do anything with the document i just wrote. Do you have any suggestions?

Close but not quite:
Maximum Memory
6.0 GB (Actual) 4.0 GB (Apple)
Memory Slots
2 - 200-pin PC2-6400 (800MHz) DDR2 SO-DIMM
You can use a 4 GB and 2 GB module to get to 6 GBs. That should help a bit. But keep in mind you have very old hardware for running Yosemite. That machine should stop at Snow Leopard.

Saving my documents in pages and keynote with OS X Mountain Lion

Ever since I upgraded to OSX Mountain Lion, I'm having a terrible time saving my documents in pages and keynote. I miss "save as" and can't stand the "rename" and "move to" replacements. Is there a tutorial to help me? or can I put "save as" back in menu? Has anyone else been struggling with this?

Sure. At midnight, you have to draw a sacred circle, light 11 candles, say the incantation, hold down the option key, and choose "save as".

Keynote document saved in icloud not updating with data from Numbers? is icloud the problem

keynote document saved in icloud not updating with data from Numbers? is icloud the problem.
If both files are held locally on the computer it looks like there is no problem however if you try and do it though icloud (ie your docs are saved on icloud) you dont get the "source" oprion besides the graph etc. Is this a but or a broken function due to the new implementation of icloud.

Hi sebnor31,
This is Visual C# forum, but your question seems not related to Visual C# language itself. It most likely related to the bluetooth message transaction protocal or with the device itself.
I'll move your question to [where is this forum for...] forum where the morderator may direct you to the correct forum.

Trouble using Custom Template and Saving Resulting Document. Help!

I created a Custom Template in Numbers '09. When I go hit "New from Template Chooser", there it is. I've tried entering info directly into the template, as well as duplicating it and entering info in the duplicated document. I can enter the info just fine, but.... Either way, when I'm done I do not have an option to Save, Save As or anything like that. I only see "Save As Template".....but it's already a perfectly good template. I don't want to Save As Template and create another template!!!. I want a named document saved, using the great template I already put together. Is this a problem? What's up? Why can't I do this???? Please help!

I'm on an iMac running 10.7.5. (Afraid to go further because I have FInal Cut Pro 7 and I'm very attached to it....I'm afraid to upgrade my OS and have FCP not work! I'm a pro and not so willing to go to FCP 10). Anyway, I'm on an iMac 3.06 GHz Intel Core 4 GB, 1333 MHz RAM.
I'm running Numbers ''09 and don't have 13, so it's an 09 template entering 09 info. It's perfect. I run webinars and it contains all of the status for media and every detail of any upcoming webinar production. My goal is to open the template, enter the info, and save it with the name of the webinar client. Then open again, enter for another client, save, etc.
It's just 09 all the way through. It says I can Save a Version or Save as Template.
Should I open a template and then Duplicate so it's a fresh document? I do that sometimes in hopes of seeing an option to SAVE AS. Sometimes I open and Don't Duplicate, but just use the template. Either way I see no way of saving the document with the specific information for the client. I don't want to Save As Template! Who wants hundreds of templates running around that are all virtually the same except for the info entered within it.
Am I missing the boat here?

Unsolved: unable to open file because it isn't a valid Keynote document

I'm trying to open a presentation I made some time ago, it is a .key file I used to open without any problems. Now the message appears:
"Unable to open file because it isn't a valid Keynote document".
I tried the solution described here, but it didn'd work: i change extension to .zip, unzip it and there is no index file. There are only pictures from the presentation in .tiff
I also sent the file to my friends and they had the same problem opening it. It's very strange, I've successfully opened it before. And the problem is only with THIS file!
Please help me out!

Have you tried to create a new Keynote Presentation? Do you have another previously saved Keynote file you can try to open? These will make sure it is a problem with this specific presentation and not the whole program.
Try to delete the Keynote Preferences. They are located in the folder Macintosh HD>Users>your username>Library>Preferences and titled com.apple.iWork.Keynote.plist.
Your profile shows that you are still on Mc OS 10.6.6, is that true? You might try to update to 10.6.7 as I believe that there was a font issue fixed in this update (I don't know for sure since I am still on 10.5.8).
Try those and report back and we will see what we can come up with.

URGENT - Error "Unable to open file because it isn't a valid Keynote document" - and there is no index file (so the usually suggested solution doesn't work)

Hi there,
As you see in the heading, I am getting the error "Unable to open file because it isn't a valid Keynote document". There has been a number of threads on this and there seems to be a usual work around that works in many cases, by changing the file extension to .zip and then looking for the index file and making some more extension changes...unfortunately, in my case (and it also happened to others), there is no index file, so the usually suggested solution doesn't work...Can someone please help? I am working on a tight deadline and would like to try and recover the file.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Best,
Just a regular apple user
PS: any other presentation opens fine in Keynote (09)

Having trouble saving as .doc format

I am having real trouble saving any edited documents to .doc format. I am editting my CV and it is obviously neccessary for it to be compatible with microsoft office so I save a copy as .doc but as I edit it and go to resave as .doc it does not save the changes, when I go back into it the document has reverted back to my last copy of my CV.
Please help!! I have rang apple but because my apple care has expired they want to charge me £35 to help me??

Nic,
No charges here .
The first thing that comes to mind is that your understanding of how this works may not match the way Pages does this. You'll use either File > Export > Word... or Share > Export > Word... . Neither will update a previously exported document unless you choose the same filename for the second export as for the first, and then override the warning.

I received an email containing a spreadsheet created using Mac Office 2004 on my new MacBook Air equipped with Mac Office 2011. When I saved the document, my Finder lists the document without the .xls file extension. Why?

I received an email containing a spreadsheet created using Mac Office 2004 on my new MacBook Air equipped with Mac Office 2011. When I saved the document, my Finder lists the document without the .xls file extension. Why?
All other .xls documents created by Mac Office 2004 retained the .xls file extention when I migrated them over to the new MacBook Air.

I know what happened. When I saved the document I somehow hit the Hide File Extension box. Sorry to trouble this group. I simply resaved it w/o activating the Hide File Extension feature.

HELP! I saved a document. Copied the document. Went to delete some extra characters. Accidentally deleted the entire document. Now I can't find my document. When I open the saved document, the page is blank. Does Pages save copied text anywhere?

I saved a document. Copied the document. Went to delete some extra characters and accidentally deleted the text of the entire document. I did not save a blank page. I cannot recover the lost text. Please Help. I'm NEW to Pages.

Hi Jan,
Copied text (or other copied material) is on the Clipboard, but only until you copy something else or log out of your account. If you act before doing another copy, you can paste the copied material back into the document. If you don't act right away, you may still have a path back.
One of the most useful keystroke combinations on the Mac is the "Oops! key," as a friend of mine once named it. That's command-Z, also known as "Undo". In some applications it will let you undo only a single step, but in others, including Pages, you can do repeated undos, so it's not quite so essential that you act immediately on making an error. Undo, done via the Oops! key, or via the Edit menu takes you back one change at a time. You can't skip any steps, so to get back to the state before the accidental deletion, you'll have to undo any work you've done since then. The memory of what to Undo disappears when you close the document or quit the application.
At that point you're at the mercy of your backup plan. If you've had Time Machine running, you'll be able to enter Time Machine and go back to an earlier, saved version of the file.
All these are in addition to the steps Ian suggested above.
Regards,
Barry
PS: Best piece of advice I can give a new Pages user (beyond Backup early and often) is to download and read through the first few chapters of the Pages '09 User Guide, available through the Help menu in Pages '09. Mostly pretty easy reading, and will get you through the basics without much trouble.

I am having trouble saving my swatches and brushes that I create. After I close Illustrator, and come back later my swatches and brushes are gone.

I am having trouble saving my swatches and brushes that I create. After I close Illustrator, and come back later my swatches and brushes are gone.

Once you have a document with the swatches, brushes, symbols that you want, save it as a new Document Profile.
Document profiles can be found (and saved) in Library > Application Support > Adobe > Adobe Illustrator 18 (if you have CC) > your language folder > New Document Profiles.
Next time you create a document you will find it in the list of profiles.
