It turns out, I own and use a grand symphony of fonts. I did run into another problem owing to my old fascination with fonts. Step 5: Register the software with your serial number/software key. I found the updater on this page. (Same caveat as above). Step 4: Find and run the iWork 9.3 updater. You want Keynote 5.3 with all the improvements that occurred between 20. Step 3: Run the installer and install the software. (It works as of this posting nothing on the Internet is guaranteed to work forever in the future.) Step 2: Download the disk image (.dmg) for the iWork '09 free trial. Putting that terrible code-cobble out of its mystery should be the very first that one does at first light with any new Macintosh. Here's what I did to ditch the awful Keynote 6 and install the functional Keynote 5 on a new Mac that wasn't really mine. (When Keynote is open, click the Keynote menu and select "About Keynote" to see the serial number/license key.) But the new Mac has the new Keynote installed and does not have the discontinued, functioning version of Keynote. So I do have a paid-for copy of Keynote 5.3 with a valid serial number/license key. And I needed Keynote 6 not to be there: among the disasters incorporated into Keynote 6 is its tendency to automatically "update" working Keynote 5 files into broken husks (misshapen, ill-fitting Keynote 6 files). But I did need fully functional Keynote 5. Since it's not my own personal computer, I could not initialize it as a mirror of my "old" computer or restore from a Time Machine backup. Making the new computer useful to me was not a trivial matter. My own computer is a 2012 MacBook Pro 15". My school district does its best to keep teachers' computers from aging into obsolescence, so my 2010 MacBook Pro 13" was replaced this week with a 2015 MacBook Air 13". Apple lost the thread on what Keynote was supposed to be, and I have to presume they'll never get it back. Apple promised to throw extant users a bone. The vast majority of legacy Keynote users despise Keynote 6 for many, many reasons. (MidCap enthusiasts errantly refer to the program as KeyNote.) I posted a death notice/rant here.Ĭonfusingly, Apple now produces Google-docs-esque productivity software, including a presentation program named Keynote (technically, Keynote 6). So some people think of it as Keynote 09 or Keynote 5. The final version was Keynote 5.3, and was originally released as part of iWork '09. Apple officially discontinued development of its first-rate presentation software, Keynote, in October, 2013.
