This can be an easy trap to fall into because after you install Mavericks, if you have software update on, the Software update will automatically update keynote. So you’ll need to turn off automatic OS updates until you are ready to upgrade Keynote on every computer that you use.Īnother trap is if you just hit ‘update all’ in Software Updates it will install the new keynote.Ī third trap: the next time you run Keynote it will ask you if you want to update. If you use it, your keynote files will be un-readable on older versions of keynote.
Be careful of the auto-update of Keynote.
