Undo changes in closed (duplicated) Keynote file

I opened a Keynote presentation I prepared earlier to use as a starting point for a new presentation. I deleted most of the slides, duplicated it (the rest of the world calls this Save As) into a new file, and closed the original file. I noticed it didn't prompt me to save my changes, which set off alarms in my head...I immediately reopened the original file and the slides were still deleted. Gone. I never saved those changes!!
There's no state to undo in the duplicated presentation, and the original presentation doesn't have any state to undo because I just reopened it. I'm pretty sure I have a backup, but....***?? Any way to undo the deletion?
And for everyone else....be *very* *careful* about the Duplicate functionality, apparently it saves over the existing file when it makes the new file. No other software I've ever used does this, and I'm pretty sure Keynote never did this before either. I think the Duplicate (instead of Save As) functionality was introduced in the last version or two of OSX.

I opened a Keynote presentation I prepared earlier to use as a starting point for a new presentation.
When doing this in future; open the existing presentation and immediately save as a new file:
press the option key then File > Save As and type in a new file name.

Difference in UNDO behavior while closing the file

Kindly follow these steps. Please explain whether it is the expected behavior.
1) Select a new VI and drop any function in the BD and UNDO the operation. Close the file, LabVIEW prompts "Save changes before closing?"
2) Select a new VI and drop a vi using "Select VI" and UNDO the operation. Close the file, LabVIEW will close without any changes notification.

If you make 1 change and then undo that single change, wouldn't you expect that 0 changes have been made (1-1=0)? I see nothing abnormal about this behavior.
Thanks for the response Dennis sir, the above point is OK for case 2. But in case 1 when in a new VI , i placed a for loop and UNDO that and when i closed the file, it asks for saving changes. ????

I need to transfer up to 200 pages and keynote files from my macbook to my PC. Is there any way I can convert all of the files to word-friendly documents as a batch change or will I have to open each individual file and re-save it as word-friendly?

I need to transfer up to two hundred Pages and Keynote files from my macbook running on Mac OS X 10.6.8 to my PC running windows. Is there any way I can convert all of the files to word-friendly documents as a batch change or will I have to open each individual file and re-save it as a word-friendly file?

Keynote files deleting after update to 10.8.4

I performed a small edit to a Keynote file today after updating to 10.8.4 last night (used the combo updater). The file crashed during a presentation and I though "no big deal, I'll just re-open it." When I went to find it, it was completely gone. Vanished.
I booted up Time Machine back at the office, restored the file, and chalked it up to some fluke. Then I edited a different Keynote file. It kept popping error messages about not being able to locate media files and I eventually closed it. Again, I went to find the orginal file to re-open and it too has dissappeared. This time, Time Machine wouldn't even let me restore it from a backup.
I ran disk utility and it found minor errors in the volume bitmap and free space remaining. So I booted to the recorvery partition and repaired successfully.
I'm up and running again, but my Keynote file is still missing. I'm afraid to open Keynote again for fear of this happening again.
Is there any known issue with 10.8.4 corrupting the file system, particulary when opening and editing Keynote files?

GordonGecko9:
- First, make sure you back up all remaining Keynote presentations. Hopefully, you have a backup of the one that got deleted. I had to get a copy from another folder. Once the file was deleted, Time Machine suddenly thought it was never there in the first place too. That's right, the deleted file was also deleted from Time Machine--even months back.
- Once you have backups of your files, run Disk Utility and see if there are any errors. I had a few, so booted into the Recovery partition and repaired.
- Remove all your Keynote .plist files from the directory: /Users/your username/Library/Preferences. Your Library folder will be hidden unless you hold the OPTION key and then select the GO menu at the top. You can just move these files out of that folder and keep them elsewhere if you want them again.
- Check your console log to see if any errors were reported about the time of the crash. I had some message about Flip4Mac confilciting with another video codec, so I deleted Flip4Mac. Not sure if it mattered, but I didnt' really need it anyway.
- Since you have backups of your files now, you can start playing around with Keynote again to see if your problem is solved. Here is what I found:
> After deleting the .plist files, I sill had issues after editing presenations. The changes would take, but then when I went to save the file, I got an error message that the location couldn't be found. When I chose "Save As" isntead, Keynote crashed. However, when I rellaunced Keyonte, the file was saved in its orginal location. (Before I deleted the .plist files, the presenation was gone after Keynote crashed).
> Subsequent edits and saves worked normally on the same file. As I opened other presenations from the same folder in the finder, I got the same errors (crashing and file not saving). But then, upon relaunch everything seemed fine.
It seems that something with 10.8.4 is causing directory errors with Keynote files. When you go to save an edited presenation, it gets confused about where to put it and the file gets deleted instead.
Please keep me posted on if the above "fix" works for you and if you notice anything else.

RECOVER RENAMED KEYNOTE FILE

Hello,
My mistake:
im new to keynotes and its icloud, and figured it would work like dropbox.
I finished my 6 hours keynote session.
So, working on Keynotes and the file in Cloud, i decided to make a stripped version of less MB by deleting slides.
Renamed the file, moved the file to my desktop, and started deleting images and sensitive text slides
Than I realised, i might have not been back-uped from icloud.
PROBLEM
file not in Icloud anymore
half of my keynote file stripped, and cannot undo anymore
looked on discussions for hours, no real solutions yet
Also file not in "HIDDEN" Library/mobile documents...
Status: all software updated.
Downloaded: Diskdrill
Found: file00075.db3 file (could be about the size of my file)
Issue: cannot retrieve the file, even just the text back im already happy
QUESTION:
is there any way:
1) Icloud somehow has a backup of a file that is moved from icloud to desktop?
2) once the files was fully on the desktop, but was renamed and closed, is there no temp file? How to find?
3) how can i open this *.db3 files, or even, how to find them back in finder?
I fear the worst...
Thanks

Just happened to my lost 12 hours of work, been saving just fine all day then WHAM.

Windows Update in Endless Loop of 'Installing updates" and "Undoing changes" on New Windows 8.1 Pro Install

I am setting new Windows 8.1 Pro computers, and am installing Windows 8.1 Pro to bare drives. Everything goes fine until Windows Update starts installing updates, and then the computer goes for hours installing updates, and then "We
could not complete the updates Undoing changes". It's an endless loop. It seems to be the same 38 updates. This is a recent phenomenon. I have not run into this until the last week or two on several new computer installs.
Again these are brand new installs, so something is clearly wrong with the Windows updates.
If anyone can please tell me how to avoid this, it would be much appreciated.
Michael

Hi Michael,
" This is a recent phenomenon"
Have you made any modifications to the machines ?
To resolve this issue ,running the built-in troubleshoot tool is a very good beginning .It will automatically diagnostic the windows update components and check the configurations for us .
Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Troubleshooting\Fix problems with Windows Update
If there are antivirus software installed in these machines, please turn off them temporarily to have a check.
The command line included in the link as S.Sengupta posted is very useful and convenient to repair the windows corrupted files .We can have a try .
"sfc /scannow" ,"DISM.EXE /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth "
We also can check the windowsupdate.log for more information to troubleshoot this issue .
Run "windowsupdate.log"
If you have trouble in analyzing the log ,please upload them to the OneDrive and paste the link here .
Best regards

I tried your file on the iPad and Keynote crashed. Then I transferred the file to my Mac, opened it in Keynote on Mac, saved it, and synched back to iPad. Now I can open the file on the iPad -- it takes some time due to all the images. Also, here are some delays between the slides when presenting on the iPad.
BTW: Make sure to use the latest version of Keynote on Mac (5.0.5).

Keynote file can no longer be opened

Hi everybody,
I really need urgent help. I spent this weekend on working on a keynote presentation. My G5 Dual 1.8 suddenly freezed and the mouse cursor could no longer be moved forcing me to reboot the computer.
After this I tried to reopen my Keynote file… Unfortunately, this is unpossible and I get a Keynote message "Keynote can not open this file".
Urrrrghhh!
What's this? Has all my weekend work gone forever? Is there a chance to salvage the file?
Thanx a lot for your feedback.
Pergamentus

I know this is an older thread but I am praying you guys have found some solutions since the last post on here. I have a file that started as a KN2 file and now saved as a KN 3 file. As I have upgraded versions of KN, I have saved them in the newest versions. That should not be so rare. This particular file worked just fine as I was working on it. Before I closed it, I copied it as a back-up onto two external hard disks plus I have enabled back-up mode in KN3. Today I find I could not open ANY of the original files nor back-ups. I've already rebuilt this file once from a previous working version. I'd hate to start from scratch with a brand-new file but is that what I am left with at this point? I am no XML genius but it seems the problem is in there (I opened up the package, moved the xml file to a new KN3 file, no dice). Any help would be tremendous. Thankfully, I still have time to start from scratch if need be.
Thanks!

Undo Year end closing for Asset

Hi,
I need to undo year end posting for Asset and recalculate depreciation according to the changed laws.
Is there any prerequisite/constraints to be taken care of before running OAAR(undo year end closing) and AJAB(year end closing) after required postings are done. Any other financial impact does these transactions have apart from the desired depreciation calculation?
Any help in understanding the scenario will be highly appreciated.
Regards
Shilpa

Hii
Difference between the two transaction code are
OAAR-undo by depreciation area
OAAQ-undo by company code.
in the first one u r only opening the depreciaiton area that is already closed.
and in later u r opening whole company code
Yes after the new depreciation run it will be adjusted but while running u need to select repeat run in T.Code AFABN.
Through repeat run it will take into consideration the changed values and again calculates the depreciation.
so values will be adjusted.
Thanks

Keynote files revert back to 3.0.2.

Every time I save my keynote files they revert back to iWork '06 version (3.0.2).
I've already read "Topic : Keynote 3.03 and 4.01" and it does nothing, I've tried on different files, everything.
When I try to associate the file with 4.0.2 it recognizes it. The only way it will keep it is if I manually change every file. And if I change or re-save it, I have to do it again. I don't want to do this with every file, every time.
When I tell it to open all files with 4.0.2 I get this message: "Are you sure you want to change all similar documents to open with the application 'Keynote'? This change will apply to all documents with extention '.key'" When I click contintue - the file reverts back to 3.0.2.
Now every keynote file I have to manually change, after every time I save it.. - Why is it my default? Where did it come from?
Tell me how to fix this, please. PLEASE HELP!!!

Have you tried deleting Keynote version 3 OR renaming version 3 from "Keynote" to "Keynote 3"?

TextEdit won't let me rename duplicated .html files as a .html file (manually typing it) either in the Finder or the Title Bar by selecting Rename or Save.

TextEdit won't let me rename duplicated .html files as a .html file (manually typing it) either in the Finder or the Title Bar by selecting Rename or Save.
I am only able to rename a duplicated .html file right after I create it, because the file name gets highlighted in the Title Bar, but after that there is no recourse. I I can Rename or Save the file if I want to just save it as a .txt, but I need it to be .html. I guess I can manually change the file later, but it's really annoying.

I remember long ago a similar issue with TextEdit, but I can't remember if there was a solution or not.
Do you have it set to Display HTML files as HTML code and also deselect "When Saving a File: Add ".txt" extension to plain text files"

Undo changes in lightroom 4

Uploading a Keynote file using iTunes 11.1.12

I'm using iTunes 11.1.12 for a PC and I need to upload a keynote file. In iTunes I don't see a place to upload or file share. This feature existed in the last version. Can anyone help?

typically to call an Escmd from a bat file you would use the syntax
Esscmd filename
where file name is the path and file name that contains the Esscmd commands.
Two warnings depending on the version you are on
1. You may need to include the full path to Esscmd or change directories to where it lives (like you did)
2. In some versions, the environment variables are not set so insted of calling Esscmd directly, in the bin directory on the server(and client), there is a startEsscmd.cmd that you would run instead. The syntax would be similar startEsscmd filename
An example:
Esscmd "c:\scripts\Essbase\myapp\MyEsscmd.ess"

Keynote file too large to open

I have a huge keynote file. over 300MB that I used for a day long course. Since upgrading to newest version of keynote I can no longer open it - I get a message that reads "you need a newer version of keynote to open the presentation'. I have the current version. Google searches suggest it is too big, and that is the reason for the message. Sooo....
1. Is there a way revert the deck so that I can open it and resave it into smaller modules - to then open in the new keynote?
2. If not, how would you recommend I access the content?
Would love some suggestions.

right click the file and select; open with > Keynote 6.5
if this works, right click the file > select get info > in the open with drop down menu select Keynote 6.5 and click change all
drag the older version out of the dock

Protecting content / locking master Keynote file

Apple, it's been over 7 years now the iWork community has been screaming for a fix to the most glaring problem with Keynote... being able to protect the content or password protecting the file from being modified.
There are so many ways to address this critical error:
1. Password protect the master file to disallow changes/editing.
2. Password protect elements of editing and copying within the master file
3. Generating a player (like PowerPoint) that allows control but not modification.
There is currently zero way to protect source content when sharing a 'Keynote' file.
Saving the file as a movie does not allow for presentation control.
It's absolutely absurd that after 7 years this has not been addressed.
My question is;
Does Apple have any intention of implementing a way to secure master files, content, from theft & modification?
This one feature would propel 'Keynote' from being a hobbyists toy - to being the de-facto presentation software for business.
Amazing software, but 100% useless for business until this error is addressed.
Is it that hard to put password protection on a file?

For the first issues, what you can do is rename the field in the second table and make it read-only, thus preventing the user from interacting with it. To automatically copy the value form the first field to the second, you can use the following custom Validate script for the first field:
// Custom Validate script for text field
getField("text2").value = event.value;
Alternatively, you can set the second field to be a calculated field, and use the following custon Calculate script:
// Custom Calculate script for the second text field
event.value = getField("text1").valueAsString;
Replace "text1" and "text2" with whatever you named the fields.
For the second question, if you make the total field read-only, the user won't be able to interact with the field.
