Updated to Yosemite. All iWorks fail

I have a 2013 iMac.


No issues at all other than this...


Finally updated to Yosemite.


The new Keynote opens but completely ignores my opening of any previous files.


The new Pages opens but completely ignores my opening of any previous files.


The new Numbers opens but crashes completely upon opening.


This is really not cool at all considering I use Keynote every day in my class.


This same problem happened with my MacBook Pro but the Apple people told me to dump the Color Pickers folder in the library. I did and it worked.


No such luck here.


Any suggestions???

First, try resetting Keynote; complete all the steps and in the order listed:


  1. Remove Keynote version 6.5, you must use an application removal tool for this procedure to work: Appcleaner is free, I use Appzapper
  2. Empty the trash
  3. Shut Down the Mac (Apple menu > Shut Down)
  4. Wait 10 seconds, then press the power button
  5. Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold down the Shift key,
    release the Shift key when you see the grey Apple screen
    start up will take a few minutes longer than usual as the Mac is performing a software repair
  6. Restart the Mac normally, (don’t hold down any keys during startup)
  7. Install Keynote from the Mac App Store

Lastly, your profile shows you are using Yosemete 10.10.2, if this is correct update to 10.10.4
