In Keynote 6.6 I cannot move to next slide

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.

Cheers,

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

Change the mode of the presentation type to Normal

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.

Gary, I think I found the culprit. Check out my explanation and the file here (ill leave this up for a little bit): https://www.dropbox.com/sh/2z8ebt669xct28w/AADGweDj5N7h3FHVYRG9CBlfa?dl=0

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 Dropboxto 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.

Thank you for trying to help. Yes, I'm aware of all of these, though actually, the right and left arrow keys do NOT advance the slides in Edit Mode. The up and down keys do, however.

It makes no sense to me to require the Navigator panel to be visible in order to use the arrow keys. If the Navigator is present, I could simply use it to navigate. I want an option to navigate when the Navigator is NOT present, the way I can in Powerpoint.

I guess there is no way to do this. I believe I'm going to have to spring for the MS Office Suite after all. Again, thanks.
