WHy can't I "Save as" in Keynote?
These Apple clowns took something magical and completely destroyed it with all their "helpful" ideas. The OS is a friggin disaster. There was a time when a good Steve keynote would bring a tear to my eye, now with every iteration it is gradually becoming worse than windows ever was. And believe me... with a total of 8 Mac's, AppleTV, iPhone, iPad, MacMini, iMac, Macbook Pro, MacPro... it pains me to say that. I spend more time searching google for tips on how to find/use my mac now then ever before. Junk.
Do you have a specific problem your experiencing in Keynote? If so, tell us what it is and some one will probably be able to help you.
I am sure the "clowns" at Apple will welcome your feedback on their product range. Enjoy your Samsung phone and Windows computer. You're welcome.
Keynote 6.5.3... Menu > File... press the ALT key and you will see it toggles the SAVE AS on while you are pressing the key. NB: the ALT key does this for other functions when you have the pull downs from the menu bar. Enjoy!
Isn't this adding more steps to a simple process??? How many people have had to search the forum to find this information? Why remove the "save As" option? I don't think that very many people accidentally saved their file with a wrong name! Absurd! It's as bad as the stupid Windows Office Ribbon - sorting functions into what THEY think make organizational sense. That was a nightmare. And now, Apple trying to prevent me from misnaming a file? Really. Give us a bit more credit than that. I am still working with Keynote 5, since my work Mac (not mine) hasn't updated the OS yet, and Keynote 6 won't run on it. I can't use Keynote 6 at home or on my MBA since when I get to work, I can't open anything. (Unless I use the Menu>File ALT process which I wasn't aware of!). So, for now it's Right click and Open With... It would be easier if I opened a Keynote 5 presentation in Keynote 6, and went to save it, that it would save as a Keynote 5 file. I have also tried (unsuccessfully) to have Keynote 5 as my default Keynote app to avoid the right click open with process when I am working on a lecture, but that doesn't seem to work. Comments to Apple developers seem to go unheard. So don't suggest that.

Apparently the thinking is to make Keynote more compatible with Keynote for iOS; by closing the file it will be automatically be saved as a version, with all previous versions of the file available using File > Revert To:

File > Export > Keynote 09

Keynote 5.3 will open 5.3 files but will not open version 6 series files as they are incompatible filetypes.

What a hair-brained idea to make a three step process to replace what EVERY other software interface has come to as a standard... "Save As" and to protect us from our selves - it is buried and hidden where you have to know the OPTION key workaround ... nightmare logic.
