KEYNOTE CRASHES - Ventura

Hi Everyone,

Since I installed the latest version of MAC OS Ventura, Keynote stopped working. When you launch the app it all seems fine, however, every time I try to add an image or a .png logo to my presentations the software crashes and shuts down.

I uninstalled the keynote, pages and numbers alongside the leftover files from the system, restarted the mac and reinstalled everything fresh. The problem is still there and cannot use these software. Before I switch to Powerpoint which has no issue, is there anything else I should try?

I am running mac OS 13.3.1

Thank you

Ian

Keynote is not a Powerpoint clone, and will not work exactly as the Microsoft application. You should be using Keynote v13 with macOS 13.3.1.

Because Keynote has crashed on you at least once, press and hold the shift key (once) when launching Keynote again to prevent it from loading its last saved execution state. Does this make any difference in the application behavior?

Please refer to the following:

thank you for the suggestion, but holding shift on launch did not fix the issue. I am still unable to use keynote
