Unable to open Keynote 6.1 templates

Whenever I open Keynote and attempt to select a template, the software hangs, and the beach ball spins. The only way to recover is to force quit. I am able to get into Keynote by selecting and opening an existing presentation from Finder, but then if I go to File>New>Choose, I get the spinning beach ball. I am able to change the theme of an existing presentation by selecting File>Change Theme, but I am simply unable to create a new presentation from scratch.
I'm running Mavericks on a 2011 iMac. I recently "upgraded" to Keynote 6.1.

repair tasks for Keynote 6.1
Try this repair for iWork applications, its sorted out many similar problems, ensure you complete all the tasks and in the order shown:
1 delete all the iWork applications if you have them, not just Keynote by using Appcleaner from Mac Update to            do this, its freeware
2 restart the Mac;   Apple menu > restart
3 immediately after the start chime, press the shift key until you see the Apple symbol.
         let it fully boot up, it will take longer as the OS is repairing the drive
4 when fully booted, go to Applications > Utilities > Disc Utility; click on the boot drive then First Aid tab and          click repair disc permissions
5 when complete, restart the Mac normally
6 install Keynote from the Mac App Store

Unable to open /delete a Web Template in Development

Hi Experts,
I am unable to open a web template. It says "You do not have sufficient authorization to change the template,Do you want to create a copy". I need to delete this template and when i click on delete ,there is no impact on the template. Please let me know how i can delete this template. I tried to see what authorization I am missing in SU53, but it did not help.How can I find what authorization is associated with that web template? Kindly suggest.
Regards,
Kavitha

if you get no authorization error message, then it is purely authorization issue.
When you executing Templates in BEx, it wont help in SU53. in this case, you have to check the roles and its authorization assigned on it.
By checking with your roles matrices, you can check the authorization.
Please check the auth objects, S_RS_COMP, S_RS_COMP1, S_RS_MPRO, S_RS_ICUBE.
Please check whether the cubes, multi/info providers are assigned properly and the activities too.
Hope this would help you.

Unable to open a standard WAD template (Tech.Content)

Hi All,
We are working with the standard web templates for technical content (Eg: Runtimes of BI Applications :: 0TPLI_0TCT_MC01_Q0111 ).W ehave installed the templates ,all the flows,process chains.We have installed them in 3.X version and i am assigned to role SAP_BW_BI_ADMINSTRATOR.
But when i try to open the templates in 3.x WAD I am getting the error "you have no authorization to change the template.Do you want to create a copy? --> If i say yes it is running some HTML code in the scrren with a VALIDATE option in the bottom right.If i click on that i am getting the following error
"the selected template contains HTML fragments ,non supported items or is not designed to be edited with wad use the functions 'upload to server' or "download to server ' and edit the web template in an externalHTML editor.
Can you suggest what we are missing or how to fix this issue?
Thanks
Sri

What you can do is :
1. Make these templates changeable - in the transport connection under RSA1 - select Object Changeability and then under TMPL right click and set to Everything changeable.
If this is your development system which is open - you need not do this....
2. You can also view the templates ( HTML version ) using program RS_TEMPLATE_MAINTAIN
Going by your error - looks like some Authorization objects are missing for you to be able to edit the templates - since these are SAP Defined - I would recommend not editing them and instead - going through the HTML using the program mentioned above and if you need a copy of the same - then copy the HTML and put it into a new template under the HTML View.

Unable to open Keynote

I re-installed Keynote 9 onto my new iMac after having migrated all the files from my old MacBook. Pages and Numbers work fine, but Keynote still will not open because "it has encountered a problem" which, it says, has been reported to Apple.
Meantime?

I had this same problem. Unfortunately it was in the middle of class and I had to reschedule a quiz because all of my notes were in Keynote :/
Anyways... I solved the problem by deleting iWork '09 and re-installing (and by delete I mean moving the iWork folder to trash and then emptying which should remove the software completely). I used the original installation CD for the re-install, so I don't know if this would work for the downloaded version.
I don't know why it didn't work the first time I re-installed, but after removing and re-installing, Keynote was functional again. As a side note, I did try to re-install without deleting the software first, but this did not work.
Hope this helps if you haven't tried it already,
Luke

Why won't keynote, pages or templates open?

Since my original purchase of the iWork pack in September I have not once been able to open pages, keynote or templates. I'm very frustrated, everytime I try to open any one of them it tells me there was a problem and they are unable to open. Does anyone know what the heck is happening? I have a late 2010 MacBook Pro

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

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.

Hi,
Interop is not supported on a Server or with in a services.
But if you want to this, you have to set up the Environment. I follow this Guideline with my Word and I'm able to start Word on a Server.
1) Goto Control panel -> Administrative Tools -> Component Services
2) Expand Tree by clicking on Component Services -> Computers -> My Computer -> DCOM Config
3) Search CLSId 00020906-0000-0000-C000-000000000046 (which is for Word 97-2003 application)
4) By selecting 00020906-0000-0000-C000-000000000046 this CLSId now right click on Properties
5) In the Propeties area, click on Security TAB
6) Select Customize option from all (Launch and Activations Permissions, Access Pemissions, Configuration Permissions)
7) Take the User of the Services and Allow all permissions for this user
8) Go to Identity TAB in the same properties area, select option as a This user and then add username (the user must be administrator of this machine) and password. Click on Apply, Ok
Locale Profile: True
9) Refresh Component Services and check your application is working fine or not.
10) set Folder, if not present:
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\config\systemprofile\Desktop

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

I am unable to open a keynote lecture

I am unable to open one of my important lectures produced with Keynote 6.5. It is one of a library of 22 lectures I have stored on the iCloud Drive. All the others open without difficulty. The problem lecture used to open without problem. Now when I try to open it I get "“Acute Liver Failure” can’t be opened." I am trying to open it on both my MacBook Pro (using system 10.10), directly from iCloud using Safari, as well as from my iPad Air (using the most up to date iOS) without success.
I have tried the “fix" of converting the file to .zip, then back to .key, but that doesn’t work.
I am desperate not to lose this lecture that took me months to make, so any help will be very appreciated.
John

Bizarrely, I found if I try to open my "damaged lecture" from inside Keynote 6.5 as opposed to directly clicking on the presentations icon, it works! All my other lectures can be opened by directly clicking on the icon.
Many thanks, John

Unable to open files/apply templates

Overnight, my copy of DVD Studio Pro has become unable to open any existing projects. I attempt to open the project, and the "Loading Project" progress bar goes through *Opening File*, *Loading Assets*, and then completely locks up once *Loading Menus* appears. I initially suspected corrupted project files, but the projects open fine on a second machine (details below). I can create a new file, and even add assets, but if I try to apply an Apple template, the "Applying Template" progress bar appears, and locks up (necessitating a force-quit of the application).
I have trashed preferences (repeatedly), and even gone so far as to reinstall the entire FInal Cut Studio from the discs (from the upgrade discs -- we recently upgraded to Final Cut Studio 2). And it's still happening.
There was a recent Pro Application Support update (4.0.2) and a Final Cut Pro update (6.0.1) -- has anyone heard anything about problems being caused by those updates? My primary machine is a Dual 2.3 GHz PowerPC G5, and the secondary machine I tested is a 2 x 2.66 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon; the above-mentioned updates have not been installed on the second machine.
WIll I have to go back to the original Final Cut Studio 1 discs and reinstall those, and then reinstall the upgrade again? Or does anyone have any other ideas?

Okay, so I appear to have found a solution, but I'm baffled as to why it might work. It started with the discovery that if I logged in as a different user, everything seemed to work. So in the end, I trashed my existing user account (After backing up everything, of course) and created a brand new one.
Didn't work. Tried again -- still didn't work.
As bizarre as it sounds to say it, my computer just doesn't like me; or more specifically, it doesn't like my name. I can create a whole new user account with a different name, and everything works. Create one with my name (after deleting the old one, so as not to have duplicate accounts), and I have the same problems.
Can anyone think of why this might be the case?

I Recently updated the latest firmware ios7 now unable to open my keynote files. Please advise.

Recently updated to the latest firmware ios7 now unable to open the keynote files which i am getting from my collegues.

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

Unable to open project on different computer

Hi all,
I've got an interesting situation. I created a project on a Mac Pro, then used FCPX to consolidate media onto an external drive. Then, I realized that the "Organize Media" was needed to get all original files correctly located in the FCPX media folder, so I did that and the project would then open with my laptop (which I used as the test computer). Now, I handed the project over to another using a newer MBP than mine, and for some reason, he has been unable to open the project or even view the event media.
He's updated FCPX to 10.0.1, rebooted the computer, trashed FCP prefs, copied the Motion Templates to his Movies folder (I made a copy on the external drive as I have several templates for the project), and has done a permissions repair. All without change. The Mac Pro is a 2010 12-core running the latest version of Lion and my MBP test computer is running the latest version of Snow Leopard. His computer is running Snow Leopard.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Lawrence

Tom was certainly right about the duplicate function being the best way to copy a project. However, the problem here was actually two-part. First, the editor did not tell me that he was able to see the project after updating to 10.0.1, but the project had missing media. He just said it still wasn't working.
Second, the missing media was only a result of him not properly copying the Motion Templates folder from the hard drive to his Movies folder.
Thanks to Tom for suggesting a better way to copy these projects, though! I think I'm going to use that, and Singlemizer to remove the duplicated files outside the "Original Media" folder to keep from building up duplicated media.
Lawrence
