Applications :: Keynote Crashes - MacBook Spontaneously Restarts
Sep 21, 2008
MacBook Core Duo, Leopard 10.5.5, Keynote 4.0.3
Periodically when I play a Keynote presentation my MacBook will spontaneously restart. I've searched many different forums and found many others with the same problem, but no working fix yet. I have a huge presentation next week and obviously I can no longer trust Keynote to do it (quite a few ugly stories on the other forums about embarrassing keynote crashes in front of large audiences).

My imac has been restarting while I'm away from it, as if instead of going to sleep it just does the restart. Nothing much has changed in terms of usage, i.e. no new software, etc.
Info:
iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

I've been using my MacBookPro (1.83ghz) for 3 days, and today it began acting funky. It has spontaneously restarted about 10 times today. It restarted itself about 4 times in 10 minutes just now. Twice it has restarted as soon as the previous restart completed, before any programs have been launched, and with no peripherals plugged in. Other times it has spontaneously restarted with only Safari open, and with Illustrator CS open. Any ideas about what might be happening? Anyone had this issue? Could this be related to software? Or the 1 gig RAM module I installed?

whenever I even go near the Downloads folder, Finder crashes. This happens whether I try to access it from Users -> (username) or if I am trying to attach something to an email, in list view. It is really irritating me, because I put most of my stuff into this folder, and cannot access it!

On attempts to save a 300Mb presentation, the blue bar fills up to the end and then stays on for almost 10min, then the Keynote crashes displaying: Keynote quit unexpectedly.

My computer has been spontaneously restarting itself. This last time I wasn't even at the keyboard, I was across the room. I don't know what to make of it, completely baffled.

Recently (in addition to other seemingly unrelated password problems), files on my desktop became locked. Finder asks for a password to delete them. I believe an Apple Genius said thought this was normal behavior, but we've never had that happen before on this computer (Mac intel core 2 duo v10.7.4) or anyother of our Apple computers, which are several years old.
So, is this suspicious activity, or is this a normal feature of the OS?

I have an early 2011 15" MacBook Pro, and about three weks ago the screen suddenly went completely black. I can't remember what I was doing at the time, but I don't think I was inputting in any way. The only way I could revive it was to press and hold down the power button until the boot-up tune started playing. I thought it was a one-off, but it has now happened twice more. The last time was this morning. I had opened the lid to wake it from it it's overnight sleep, looked at one text document and close textedit. Then I saw I'd received an email, (I always leave Mail running), so I clicked on the Mail icon and opened the message. I was just reading the message -and not inputting- when the screen just went black without any warning whatever. The Apple logo on the lid also went out.Â
I closed the lid and left it twenty minutes to see if it would wake up normally when I re-opened the lid, but no, I had to press and hold the power button to re-boot. There was an error message displayed when my computer came back to life, but it wasn't very informative. It had a complex report log, which I copied and saved, but it means nothing to me. I believe that data was then sent to Apple. I don't remember this happening before I upgraded from 10.6.x to 10.7.4 in mid-May, but it didn't happen straight after the upgrade so I can't be sure it's related.Â

Twice my macbook pro has shut down on me spontaneously. I recently got the logic board replaced. What could this mean? What do I need to do differently?

I have a mid-2010 Macbook Pro with a 2.53 GHz Core i5 processor and 8 GB of RAM, running OS X 10.10.1. For the last few weeks, at apparently-random intervals, the machine has been rebooting while I've been using it. I can't tie this to anything in particular that I'm doing. It may go a couple of days before a restart, or it could be like today, where it's happened five times in the last four hours. I've tried resetting the PRAM and the SMC without apparent effect.Â
When the reboot happens, the system first freezes for roughly 30 seconds--the mouse pointer won't move, it's unresponsive to keyboard input, etc. The system then appears to power down--the screen and external monitor go dark, fans stop, keyboard backlight goes out. A few seconds later, it powers up, gives the boot chime, and goes through the normal boot sequence. At no point does it give the "your computer was restarted because of a problem" message, and I don't see anything in the Console app that looks like a kernel panic.Â
About two years ago, the logic board was replaced to address a somewhat-similar issue--the system had been freezing and could only be recovered by a hard power off (holding down the power button for several seconds). Â
I'm not sure where to start looking for the cause of this problem, since I can't figure out anything in common with the circumstances surrounding the reboots.

My MBP (2007 intel) freezes or spontaneously shuts down and crackling comes from the speakers. Sometimes this happens together all at once? It happens with and without peripherals.It does not seem to be linked to a specific program or peripheral use.Â

I am a complete newbie to Keynote. Are there any books or websites that have good indepth literature to teach me how to get the most out of Keynote? I know there are video tutorials but I'd rather have a book that I can have sitting next to me when I am on my Macbook Pro or that I can read when I am out and about.

When Steve Jobs does his presentation he frequently uses a transition whereas a big announcement is being made, say, a price drop or a launch date the announcement is made with a transition that drops down and lands with a 'thud' and there is then smoke rising from the word that dropped down.
Can anyone tell me what transition this is and where I could get it to implement into my presentation?

I wanted someone to tell me if this is possible to do in Keynote:
say I have a Keynote presentation with four slides. In the first slide I have hyperlinks to pages 2, 3 and 4. Can I have a different transition effect for each slide so that when I click on hyperlink for slide 2 I have the cube transition, when I click on hyperlink for page 3 I have the flip transition... etc?

What is the best way for someone to save a Windows PPT file (XP version of PPT) that it will play the "most nicely" with Keynote? Does anyone know of any options on the Windows side that will help?
The main issues that I seem to be seeing are that the slides are opened in Keynote at 720x540 instead of 1024x768 and that there are a few font issues. I'm just wondering if there is anyway to "idiot" proof this and cut out any additional steps after opening the project on a Mac.

I think I speak for a lot of people when I ask all users of Keynote '09:
HAS THE KEYNOTE BUG BEEN FIXED??
In other words: has any one using the latest version of iWork and Mac OS X experienced a sudden reboot when pressing the play button?
The horrible sight of an unlit black screen and the dreadful noise of your drive spinning up, quickly followed by a hollow chime letting you know that everything you were busy with and hadn't saved is now Verschwunden?

I have an avi movie which I have done on Windows 7, pinnacle. However, it has saved it at 416MB, which is fairy large! I want to transfer it to the Mac and play it through keynote.
Does anyone know how I can convert the file (as I am aware Mac will not play avi) but to also reduce the file size WITHOUT losing the quality? I know handbrake can convert, but if I do this will the quality be reduced?

One reason that Keynote doesn't have that much penetration is that there is no Keynote Viewer or Player (like PowerPoint has) for the PC.
I would love to use my Keynote to make a presentation, but most places I present have PCs. It is so much easier to plug a thumbdrive in, rather than bring a mac from home just to give a talk. So I end up using PowerPoint on my Mac.
Why can't Apple do what PowerPoint does and create a small Keynote Viewer for PCs? Then we could save the Keynote presentation, and its viewer onto a thumbdrive and play it anywhere there are only PCs (like 95% of the world)
Simply saving a Keynote file in Powerpoint mode doesn't work, since lots of slide transitions, animations, etc get messed up in the process.

Just wondering if there's such a thing as a Keynote Viewer for PC's?
I have got iWork '08 and love Keynote far more than PowerPoint but my uni uses Windows PC's so it means I have to use PowerPoint for my lectures.
I know that if you save a Keynote presentation as a quicktime file, that works, but very few of the PC's have iTunes/quicktime installed.

So maybe there is no Keynote for Windows, but is there an equivalent? I'm kinda stuck on a PC right now so I can't get Keynote. And no, PowerPoint is not acceptable

I used to use powerpoint 2007 for the presentations at the uni and I really like it. I also tried Keynote which in my opinion creates better looking animations and slightly better looking slide shows.
But Keynote does not have SmartArt Graphics which in my opinion reduce great amount of time when creating a slide show.
How do you cope with lack of SmartArt Graphics?
And what are your reasons for using Keynote not the Powerpoint?

For a school project, I have to record a podcast, with pictures for emphasis. I'd like to record something on GarageBand(for effects, and easier use) rather than use the narration tool in Keynote. I have Keynote 09. I read on the internet that it's possible to put an mp3 file in there, but it stops on each slide. So what can I do? If it comes down to it, I guess I can play my mp3 file as a narration, but I don't really want to do that.

I can't delete keynote themes I installed from Jumpsoft. I can't even find a iwork file in users/library/application support. I even deleted all of iWork from my computer and reinstalled and they were still there in keynote. What should I do?

I have been trying to embed a website in keynote so that I do not have to use the web browser during my presentation, I found a "tutorial" online, you can see the video here:
http://www.revver.com/video/372817/a...te-to-keynote/
However as I try dragging the link (from the address bar or the favicon) to keynote, all I would get is a text back with the direct html address (if from address bar), or the the page's name, linked to the website, if I drag from the favicon.
