Trashing KEYNOTE?
« on: April 27, 2026, 06:34:18 PM »
I just downloaded Keynote 15.2. The old one - 14.5- is still in my Apps folder. Can I or should I just trash it?

NO! :nono:

Don't be a sheep! Do some investigation, even if it has to be on Google. :blink: There is no reason to "trash" the old versions of Pages, Keynote or Numbers. :no2:

Educate yourself. Please. :coolio:

I will give you one free link: TidBits Feb 6, 2026

I trust advice here more than finding stuff on Google which is why I post a question here first. Thanks for your reply as always. I did try your link but "Safari can't find the Server".

If you can't connect with TidBITS.com, you have a serious problem with your Safari. :wallbash: That is the site, of course, (the oldest?) Apple tech info "magazine"/ user base in the world. You should definitely register and get very useful knowledge and tips from their staff and users. :thumbup:

Perhaps this link will work, I reached it while even being logged OUT.

Strange! Both your links give me the same message... "Can't find server"
Using MacBook Air 2024.
OS15.7.4 and Safari 18.6.
Yet I can go to tidbits.com without an issue.

I also cannot get anywhere with those links, Jim.  I either get a message that the server is busy, try later, or it can't be reached at all.  :unsure:


This may be the article you are trying to link, but even if not, it's interesting. Had no idea Apple had bundled the pro apps with the iWorks ones. In any case, Raven, I'd keep the old version of Keynote just in case the new one has problems.
