Lion and Keynote Problems

I live in iWorks and have a VERY large Keynote presentation with lots of movies (1.1Gb) that I work off of. It worked great in SL, but after upgrading to Lion, I continually get the rotating ball of death loading Keynote, random times working in Keynote, and saving the presentation. It will eventually, after minutes, clear the ball but this is ridiculous. Any ideas?

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7)

Not a solution here. Turning off auto locking is a very slight improvement, but long and unpredictible stalls are still a regular event. They are slightly less severe and slightly briefer but are still present. Also, presentation mode still remains broken by the same issue and is not solved by turning off auto locking. Changes to resume feature make no difference in the behavior.


The suggestion of reinstalling also doesn't solve the problem.


A real solution for continued use of Keynote in Lion will need to come from Apple.

To claim that people may only legitimately rely on a computer on which no .0 software is installed is an overstatement to say the least. It is also irrelevant to the issue of a solution to the problem. 😝



While "working with locked documents" might solve the play problem it doesn't solve the problem of endless stalls while trying to edit documents. So "working" with locked documents isn't a real solution and doesn't therefor "give the people ... a way to work."

It's not a .0 product. It's LION (10.7). Apple software not workin with an Apple system upgrade is unconscionable. ESPECiaLLY when other non-Apple applications are totally fine and all usable.


We are apporaching a month without a solution. Screw workarounds. This needs to be solved, unles Keynote is going the way of iWeb, eWorld, and mobileMe.

I am using it for weeks, I did upgrade it... after that i needed to re-format and restarted from scratch (lion with iwork without the Fu**** update) ... now I can work with it, NO PROBLEMS AT ALL !!!

But still, we are dealing with APPLE, the most valuable companyin the world...

are we the ones to solve issues ??!?!?! I don’t think so !!!

I am sorry for being rude, but this is making me crazy !!!
