I have tried to drag photos into keynote to populate multiple slides at once... IT JUST WILL NOT WORK. I cannot get anything to drag to the navigator panel. The only success I have had is dragging to one slide only. I've gone thru the finder, photos directly and desktop. Can anyone help? I need to get over 50 photos on 50 slides.
Open Keynote
Be in Navigator mode
Select your images and drag them into the left hand side of the pane, you should see each image placed on its own slide.
You might first in Preferences select Scale placed images to fit on slide
Perhaps it's because I'm doing all this through icloud.com and not a keynote application on my computer... I use El Capitan It sill not let me do what you suggest above...
Hi, Annie
I just tried to do what you wanted in iCloud (I never use it, by the way) and the iCloud Keynote does not permit dragging over multiple images as far as I know.
But... in less than 5 minutes I created 10 blank slides, then, clicking on one of the blanks at a time (to activate it) I then dragged over from my picture folder on my Mac computer one image to each of the blank slides (one at a time).
See below. You can see I have dropped three images already in the first three 'blanks' and am working on the fourth. I know this is a kluge but that's what I often do.
I don't think it would take you long to do the same for 50....
So the next question is, how do I get it on my desktop? I always had it until I got this new mini last fall and along with it , el capitan. I will research that, but if you know please advise. Also, I knew I could do one at a time, but I was putting together something that required 50 pics on 50 slides ! 😮

"So the next question is, how do I get it on my desktop?"
Get what? Keynote? You should have Keynote on your computer. Look in your folder on your Mac called Applications or do a spotlight search for Keynote. See below, I have two different versions of Keynote.
If you can't find Keynote see here
If i deleted keynote, can i reinstall it?
Also see here to make sure you are uptodate
How to update OS X and Mac apps - Apple Support
Also, have you just tried logging onto iCloud, click on Keynote, create your blank slides and drag your images over to the blank(s) yet?
I know I should, but I don't... seems they want you to just go to icloud to use that and imovie, etc....
.
According to your profile you show yourself as having 10.6.8 on your Mac
See this thread
If you cannot upgrade try the iCloud method I described.
oops, I need to update that... got this new one last fall and it's 10.11.5 does that affect my options?
Then you should have Keynote on your 10.11.5 OS X machine.
See that above link and read the note by Niel
If i deleted keynote, can i reinstall it?
Note that if that does not work, he embedded this link
Sparkleberry, thanks for all the help. I do have the '09 dvd for iworks and have checked out Niel's post and gotten some more direction. Appreciate everything!
You are welcome!
You also might be happier with the 09 version - according to other forum contributors.
Sorry it took so long to get to your solution. Hope you get your project completed.
