Why does Keynote suddenly say my document is unreadable and has to close?

So, I'm spending hours working on a presentation using Keynote 6.5.2 on my MacBook Air running Yosemite 10.10.1. Saving my work as I go along. The file was saved in my iCloud Drive. I recently "upgraded" to iCloud Drive. This was a newly created Keynote file, created after I began using iCloud drive.
All of a sudden for no reason Keynote says "This document can no longer be used because its file has become unreadable, so it must be closed." I had only one option, to click the button and close the file.
Now the file can't be reopened on my Mac. When I try to open the file from the Finder, Keynote says "The file couldn’t be opened" (with the file's title in there). The file is found in my "Keynote" folder that lives inside "iCloud Drive."
Mysteriously, when I visit icloud.com and go to my iCloud Drive, the file is not inside my Keynote folder. It's by itself at the top level inside the iCloud Drive folder. And the file does open in my web browser.
Why does my Mac suddenly decide it won't let me open or work on this Keynote file? What's going on, any suggestions?

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 my ipad say 10.6 gig used and 2.2 available

    Why does my ipad air say 10.6 GB used and 2.2 GIG available when its a 16 Gig ipad. Cant figure it out. please help

    Out of the box, your iPad only had about 13.5GB of available space.
    There are several factors that affect the amount of storage space on an iPad. First is the true amount of space on a hard drive. There is a math difference in how companies spec hard drive size and the true amount of available space. Second the iPad has some pre-installed apps that take up space. My 16GB iPad 2 started out with only 13.5GB of available space.

  • Why does FaceTime suddenly say "FaceTime Failed" just after connecting?

    1. I place a Facetime video call.
    2. The call rings.
    3. The call screen says "connecting"
    4. The "connecting" message goes away (this normally happens just before the other party's video clicks on)
    5. The call screen remains silent with my webcam on and then reads "FaceTime Failed"
    This is a problem. Please help.
    Thank you

    Thanks Shananigan,
    I'll add that to my list of fixes to try tonight. Will that diagnose if it's my setup or theirs?
    * Fixes I've tried:
    - Restarting my machine (haven't tried both machines yet)
    - Software is up to date (running Mavericks OSX 10.9.1)
    * Fixes I'll try soon:
    - Restarting both machines
    - Double check WiFi fan for connectivity
    - Try to FaceTime call someone else
    * Outcomes
    - Restarting my machine only (no change)
    - Updating software (software is up to date) (no change)
    - Double check WiFi fan for connectivity (PENDING)
    - Restarting both machines (PENDING)
    - Try to FaceTime call someone else (PENDING)

    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.

    I did a reset since I had to restore v3.1.3 firmware and reconfigure from a Mac OS X 10.5.8 MBP before I ran into problems. Isn't that enough? Or do I have to do it again? Also, these were brand new installations and setups for iTunes and iPod Touch 1G. So, I am doing everything from scratch.
    I also found out that iTunes wants full (not read) access to my shared medias in my very old, updated Windows XP Pro SP3 machine. When I gave them full access, then I got farther, but it still failed later on (almost half way since 5 out of 11 GB according to math with disk spaces on both iTunes and iOS v3.1.3?) I didn't use Mac OS X 10.5.8's iTunes (only kept it for whited00r firmware part) for syncing since all my media is on the other machine.

  • Why does iPad suddenly turn off at 40% power and the power bar is almost gone.  Then when I plug it in the power bar goes back up to 40%

    My iPad has suddenly started turning itself off at 40% power as indicated at the top right corner..  The power bar is almost down to nothing (like 1%) when it shows up as it is turning off.  When I plug it in, the power in the top right corner shows 40%. 

    That happened to my sister get a new battery then wait until its full 100% then you can use it again

  • Why does pages suddenly refuse to save a document back to our server after editing?

    why does pages suddenly refuse to save a document back to our server after editing?
    and can i specify a default save-as location?

    The default save location is the one used to open the document.
    The default save_to location is the last used one.
    Both are stored in memory and written in the application's preferences file when we close it.
    It's quite easy to change the defaults in the preferences file but we must do that before opening the app and if we use an other location once the app is open, we will lost the defined default location.
    From my point of view, the best scheme is to use an Applescript to save.

  • Why does FaceTime keep saying "connection lost" when we both have full bars on our wifi?

    Why does FaceTime keep saying "connection lost" when we both have full bars on our wifi? My friend in Texas has tried to call my via FaceTime but for some reason, every time she does, it keeps saying "connection lost" when we both have full bars on our wifi. Keep in mind, I am from Nebraska so we have the same time zone and I have an iPod 4 while she has a iPhone of some sort but that shouldn't matter because I am still able to FaceTime my friend in California, which is two hours behind me. So, I guess I just want to know why I cannot reach my friend in Texas. Please, someone help me!
