Why does Keynote Beta for PC suddenly stop, making all work in presentation unreadable?

Keynote Beta seemed to be working fine on my PC and could be seen on my iPad 2 for a while, but suddenly, the screen with all the pages created went away and an error message popped up saying the presentation could not be opened (said this on the iPad, too).  Very frustrating, as many hours of work went away.
Thought the problem might be too large files for the photos, so did the whole process again the following day with smaller photo files.  Same infuriating results at some point.  No explanation, can find no documentation, at sea.  Want to use the PC to assemble presentations as the photos are accessible there.  What to do?  Why does this happen?  Is there a maximum size for the presentation?   Hope this is going to the right forum or if not, that it will be redirected.  Also, how do I find this post an any answers.  I confess, I'm a complete newbie here.
Thanks for any help, TC

Just an update, a workaround to this problem was to download the Keynote file to my Mac and save that copy of the document on my Mac, not in iCloud Drive. I have been able to work with the document just fine since then, with Keynote on my Mac. This just means doing without the syncing benefits of iCloud Drive. Seems this problem was more with iCloud Drive itself than with Keynote.
iCloud Drive did have the most recent, up-to-the-minute copy of my work online when I visited it via the web. I was able to work with the file with the Keynote beta program in the web browser, but that program is missing some of the features of the desktop version.
The original problem of the file becoming unreadable has been solved by this workaround. But it is still a bug. I reported it through Apple feedback and hope they will fix this.

  • Why does the "fix" for firefox copying and pasting not work?

    I did the fix a few times and restarted firefox, with no success. Also, I installed the latest version of firefox and it is slower now. I have to use firefox for school, otherwise I would just find another way.

    In what way is Firefox slow?
    Is this all the time or only with loading web pages?
    What kind of fix do you mean with: ''Why does the "fix" for firefox copying and pasting not work'' ?

  • Why does my 5D Mark III suddenly stop shooting pictures?

    Every so often when I am shooting a lot of pictures with my 5D Mark III, once I release the shutter button I am unable to focus or take more pictures for a few seconds.  I thought at first this was because it was writing information to the memory card but that does not appear to be the issue.  The screen also does not indicate that it is busy or writing informatoin to the card.  This issue does not happen on my 7D or 50D.

    So, I need to make a correction on the Compact Flash Card.  The card I am using is a SanDisk Extreme PRO 32GB Compact Flash.
    I am wondering...I was shooting a wedding this past weekend when this was happening.  The card is rated at 32GB however, the formatted space shows approx 29GB.  The total space used for pictures was just over 27GB.  Wonder if it was stopping because the card was getting low on space?
    What lens were you using? My 70-200 f/2.8 has two modes. In one of them it focusses faster, but doesn't let you get as close to the subject as in the other mode. If you're in that first mode and you get too close to the subject, the resulting behavior is as you describe. I doubt that that's your problem, but thought it was at least worth mentioning.
    If the card were out of space, it would tell you. You wouldn't have to guess.

  • Why does "plugin container for firefox" suddenly adjust the volume on my laptop? It only adjusts the volume of firefox, but it lowers it to next to nothing. HELP!

    As of just today, whenever i play a video in firefox, the volume suddenly drops to next to nil. The problem is that i didn't change ANYTHING. I looked at my volume control, feeling that something was wrong there. And it was. [http://s1207.photobucket.com/albums/bb465/Hagosha/?action=view&current=FirefoxErrorReport.png link text]
    This is what i saw. I tried numerous times to change the volume back, and every few minutes it would return to what it was in the picture. Any ideas WHY it's suddenly doing this? Nothing has changed, but it just started today.

    Try updating Adobe Flash to the latest version. Your current installation exposes your system to exploits. See http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb11-12.html
    You also need to update Adobe Reader. See http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb11-08.html

    The Java update is not a security issue, but does enable Java to improve performance in Firefox 4.0.x

  • MSI Afterburner - why does my beta copy reports it's expiring?

    Afterburner V2.2 beta - why does my beta copy reports it's expiring?
    Do we have another software alternative other than AFterburner for the GTX 560 Ti Hawk?

    This is not entirely correct. Only if you reset the system date you extend the expiration date, otherwise you'll get an error message like this.
    and the program does not start.
    Every beta has a limited time period to work.The expiration date of the 2.2beta8 is 27/11/2011.
    But until then it'll be a new version released. So stay cool, or use the non-expiring version 2.1, or go back to the future with your system time.

  • Why does it take for a month to get internet services?

    I'd like to know why does it take for a month to get internet services? I ordered my service on Jan 18,2012 and I got the installation kit on Jan 21,2012. But I can't  use the internet and I have to wait until Feb 9,2012 for my service ready date. I think it takes a long time. I need the internet to do my project, but I can't. I'm very disappointed right now. I think I can use the internet after I place my order. (2 or 3 days it's ok, but I have to wait for a month that's terrible) Why can't they just turn on the services? I'd like to know who can i talk with? 

    Have you tried hooking the modem up, and does it get sync and does the Internet light come on? Even though you technicaly shouldn't do this, the line might already be up and running but they haven't told you yet. I don't know why it takes a month to hook up DSL. In my area, it takes two weeks typically from order to live, whether it's new service or a speed upgrade/downgrade (these are usually one week. They can be done on the spot, though!). No one has ever explained why it takes that long, but I presume it has someting to do with the billing cycle and perhaps line conditioning if they still do that (away from removing bridged taps and load coils), giving a technician time to pick up the service request and perform the task before someone goes, builds the profile for the line and then connects a few cables to an empty slot in a DSLAM and does some other background tasks to bring the connection online.

    Loading my Photoshop CS3 onto new Mac Book Air. Why does it ask for InDesign CS4 part way through?  I have a CS5.5 disc. Will suffice?

    that doesn't make sense.  you will only be prompted for earlier adobe versions when installing a latter upgrade version.
    double check your versions.
    also, you might want to clean your computer before retrying to install, Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6

  • Why does Adobe Elements 4.0 suddenly crash about the time Apple has a security update?

    Why does Adobe Elements 4.0 suddenly start crashing about the time Apple has a security update?

    An ADOBE FORUM "Community Professional" commented:
    "Well, I'm not sure any of this is going to work, but go to your username>library>preferences and delete:
    com.adobe.Photoshop.Elements.plist
    The PSE 4 Paths and Settings folders (can't remember whether they're called Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0 Paths or something different, but you want folders with Paths and Elements 4 in their names--you should be able to figure out which they are)
    Opera preferences (if you have it)
    Repair permissions and try again.
    If it still quits, go to the PSE 4 folder in applications and delete the Adobe TWAIN driver from the plug-ins folder (note that you may have trouble with Epson scanners in PSE after doing this).
    However, PSE 4 is pretty darned old and it's less compatible with every new OS X update, so what I've suggested may work and may not. FWIW, you probably will not be able to reinstall the program if you ever need to do so--installed versions of PSE 4 keep working in 10.6, but the installer does not."
    Hope this helps
