Q: In Keynote 6.6 I cannot move to next slide

I am attempting to play my presentation in Keynote 6.6 on my Mac, but cannot move to the next slide, despite following this basic instruction:

  • Go to the next slide or build: Press the Right Arrow key.

I even successfully connected my iPhone to use it as a remote, but the problem persists. It looks like Keynote on the Mac does not move the next slide or move back to the previous slide.

The only way of manoeuvring around it is to press + to display a navigation panel still in the presentation mode and then press Enter to go to the next slide.

 

However this does not resolve the main issue. Is it a software bug?

 

Has anyone experienced a similar thing?

 

Cheers,

Wojtek

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X El Capitan (10.11.1)

    I have the same problem since the installation of El Capitan. I can play my other presentations which are created in yosemite. But now, i cant play my new key note presentation in either El capitan nor Yosemite.

    I have the same problem.

    No way to move forward in newly created and in old Keynote presentations.

     

    OS-X 10.11.1, Keynote 6.6.1, MacBook Pro late 2009

     

    I was able to solve this problem by going back to the older Keynote version (6.6) which luckily was still on my TimeMachine backup (manually copying the program from the backup volume to the applications folder).

     

    Please Apple, solve this quickly!

     

    Kind regards

    This does not work. My presentations stopped working after the El Capitan update from Yosemite. The presentation types are already set to Normal. Nothing to change.

     

    My workaround so far is to export to PDF with each stage of the builds.

     

    Pretty poor showing for everyone responsible for this bug. Version 10.11.4. I waited months before upgrading because major version upgrades with OSX are always broken in major ways (poor quality control). Yet, got bitten by this issue.

     

    I am a professor. I need to make presentations practically every day. Any idea how to actually fix this?

    I am suffering the same issue, and the setting was already at Normal. Keynote 6.6.1, Yosemite 10.10.5.

    Delete Keynote empty trash then re-install from Mac App Store.

    Gary, this does not work for me.

     

    I'm on El Capitan 10.11.5 with the latest version of Keynote and I cannot jump from slide to slide.

     

    I've deleted Keynote three times, emptied my trash, reinstalled, restarted, updated my OSX, created a new file... I cannot play my presentation and jump from slide to slide.

    Try this baseline test:

     

    1. open Keynote and create a new presentation:    File > New
    2. choose the White theme
    3. Insert > Shape > Rectangle
    4. slide > new slide
    5. add a different shape the the slide: Insert > Shape > Oval
    6. add three more slides with different shapes on each slide
    7. click on slide 1, then:   Play > Play Slideshow
    8. press the spacebar to move to next slide

     

    does this work?

     

    If not use:     Dropbox and add the Keynote file then send me a link to the file using a reply to the discussion.

    I will test the file on my system.

    I am able to play your test file without any problems, (5 slides with different blue shapes).


    Sign in to iCloud from Apple Menu > System Preferences > iCloud

    check your information is correct and up to date in Account Details

    sign out of iCloud, test Keynote by playing back the test file.

    if you use iCloud's features sign back in

    Yes!  Getting out of iCloud did it.  I can advance my slides.  Now, what happens if I actually want to use iCloud for anything on this Mac?

    If Keynote does not work with iCloud, don't use it, use Dropbox to share files.

    This solution seems to work when I'm playing the file in Slideshow mode. However, I'd like to be able to advance slides in Edit mode, by using something other than the slide navigator, preferably the arrow keys. I sometimes need to edit slides while presenting, so need to be able to type text into text boxes while in a mode that doesn't prevent this. Is there any way at all to do this?

    You can move from one slide to another with the arrow keys; right arrow to go to next slide and left arrow to go to previous.  No transitions or builds will action and sound track will not play

     

    Additionally you could remove the following:

    Inspector (View > Hide Inspector)

    tool bar   (View> Hide toolbar)

    and use full screen:   (View > Enter Full Screen)

     

    The Navigator panel must be showing to be able to navigate with the arrow keys.
