crash crash CRASH
It happens a ridiculous amount...am I the only one?
It can't be the presentation or the machines - we have done 5 different presentations in the past two weeks on 3 different machines. Two were G4 and one was a laptop, each presentation created on a different machine with a different version of Keynote.
Keynote has crashed at least 3 times a day every day - today it has crashed SEVEN times.
Yes, seven.
It has happened during completely different operations.
Today:
1 - Inserting an image from 'Insert'-> 'choose' pulldown....crash
2 - After saving, hit 'play' button....crash
3 - Tried to resize text....crash
4 - Inserted shape and tried to resize...crash
5 - Tried to reorder builds in the 'more options' drawer (only two builds there), when I pulled the second one underneath the first...crash
6 - Duplicated a slide, and after seeing the rainbow wheel of death forever...crash
7 - Tried applying a different master slide to a presentation...crash.
All of these crashes have happened with different presentations on different machines in different locations for similar reasons. It is never the same reason twice in a row. The presentations have ranged from 12 slides to 70 slides.
The absolutely most frustrating part has been the "saving".
Even though I have been saving more frequently because I am terrified I will lose all my work (since it has happened so much already) at times my "saves" have not gone through. Keynote will crash, and when I reopen the file is not where it was when I last saved.
Hours and hours of work down the drain.
What is going on?
We have the most updated version, yaddah, yaddah...computers are in great working order. The only problem is the keynote.
We can't afford to have this happen during a show. We are very high profile, very well known company, and to deal with this is really frustrating since keynote is the best looking program out there.
Help!
