Keynote crashing Hi! This has happened various times but I haven't had the time to write it. In Keynote 14 point whatever the newest version is, I can open and edit keynote presentations but, when I want to present it, it keeps on buffering and when I go to force quit it says the application has stopped responding. I am on macOS Catalina but due to compatibility issues I cannot get Big Sur (as much as I want to 😭). Please help! Thanks in advance!

pages and keynote template files cannot be saved When I use a template on a new pages or keynote file the edited document cannot be saved. I get an error message which states "Untitled can't be opened right now. Keynote can't read the file." This happens whether I try to change the file name or not. I am on the Catalina OS.

Keynote will not open and I can't delete it to reinstall app? I cannot open Keynote. I have MacOS 10.15.5. And if I try and delete it re-install it says it is 'open'. And I can't close it. This is frustrating!

Try this:

Right click the Keynote application and select: Move to Bin
Empty the bin: Finder > Empty Bin
Re-install Keynote from the Mac App Store
