A little adive

I am thinking about buying iWork for a presentation I am making in a few weeks. If I can choose to have my Keynote file play through and loop, and then in the middle of a loop, I take over and make it go forward at my pace, then easily send it back to looping, I am sold. Also, how easy is it to put on a dvd?

Hi Coggs
Take a look at this page to see a list of keyboard short-cuts:
http://www.apple.com/support/keynote/shortcuts/
If you make a self playing presentation you can pause it by pressing "F". Press any key to resume (so to continue to the next slide you'd have to click a key to un-pause, then the arrow to move on, then "F" to re-pause)
Exporting to DVD is really simple... Just chose export to iDVD and it will render your slideshow (I'm using iWork 06 with iLife 06). If I recall it opens up iDVD and allows you to select a theme. I prefer to have a plain old boring DVD so in iDVD I choose File > "One step DVD from movie" and select the QuickTime file Keynote generated. This way you just get your presentation without the unnecessary DVD menus etc.
Hope that helps, Rich

  • HT1414 i am in the process of getting my iphone4 unlocked from att to use it on straighttalk. why do i need to "back up" the iphone and all of this? i dont have an apple computer sooo, im a little confused on why i need to do this. can someone please help

    Can someone please explain and help me? I am unlocking an iphone4 from at&t to use it on the straight talk network. They've confirmed my request to do this and I am now a little confused as to what to do next. They want me to back up the phone using itunes on either a MAC or PC. I do not have an aplle computer but I do have an acer. Sooo, can I use it to do this? Or do I even have to do this to unlock and switch the iphone4 over to a new network? If I do have to what can I do to do this because like I said I do not have a computer by apple? Can anybody walk me through what I need to do next please? I've been waiting to do this for a very long time and I now have the option to have an iphone and use it. Thanks to my awesome boyfriend who Gave me his old iphone when he swapped back to an android. Hahahaha! Please anybody!? Because I sooo don't know what I'm doing and really do not want to mess the phone Or the process up. Thanks to any and all who read this and help me! It is greatly appreciate it!

    Install iTunes on your Acer and you can back up the iPhone. Or back it up to iCloud. If you do not back it up you can get it unlocked, but you will lose all of your content.
    You can get iTunes from http://www.apple.com/itunes.
    Even after unlocking I'm not sure it will work on Straight Talk, because last time I checked ST used Verizon as its carrier, and an AT&T iPhone 4 is not compatible with Verizon's network. You can probably use it on Net 10 or T-Mobile once it is unlocked.

  • My time capsule all of a sudden disconnected from the wireless system and can no longer be fund by my MacBook Pro. The little lamp on the the capsules has turned off, but it still makes a noice inside,

    My Time capsule did a backup yesterday in the morning without any problem. All of a sudden, it disconnected from the wireles system last night and the little indicator lamp turned off. It still makes a noice, as if a disc was turning inside. The Time Capsule was bought last year in June. Any suggestiom what to do? What happens if I press the little buttom (reset?), will I loose af my backup?

    Do a reset.. power off the TC..
    Hold in reset and power on.. keep holding in reset until it flashes rapidly.. if it turns on at all.
    If you bought it in June.. take it back today.. it is broken.. at a guess.
    Some Gen4 are failing this way.. get Apple to replace it.. even if it is a few days out of warranty it won't be much.

  • HT1284 Do I need to reformat my external hard drive before I backup to it?  It shows very little free space when in fact it is empty.

    I am new to Imac.  I want to use an external hard drive to backup to but the drive shows very little free space when in fact it is empty.  Do I need to reformat it and, if so How?  Thanks

    What is the external disk?
    Is it new?  If so, maybe it has a Windows file system on it (FAT, exFAT, or NTFS).  If so then reformat to "HFS+ Journaled".
    What backup utility are you using?  TimeMachine, Carbon Copy Cloner, SuperDuper, etc...?  If the external is suppose to be bootable because you are using a cloning backup (CCC or SuperDuper), then it is also important that the disk partition table be GUID.
    You can find out this information via Applications -> Utilities -> Disk Utility, select the disk (not volume on the disk) and the partition time will be shown at the botton of the window.   Now Select the volume and it will tell you how the file system on the disk is formatted.
    Also do you want to leave room for a recovery partition on the external disk?  Then repartition it with a small (2GB) partition that can hold a bootable recovery partition that you can setup via the Apple "Recovery Disk Assistant" which can be downloaded from Apple.

  • My drive recently had to be replaced with a new one installed by Apple they reinstalled all my stuff from my time machine. Most my programs had to be updated which I managed with a little help from my friends, but the last one that I can't solve is

    My IMAC OSX 10.6.8   2.8 GHz intelcore  2Duo 4GB 800 Mhz DDR2 SDRam recently had to have its hard drive replaced by apple thy actually had to give me a larger one because mine was no longer available,They also reinstalled all my programs and data from my 2 terrabite time machine back up. I got my system home and found that I had to upgrade most of my programs which I managed with a little help from my friends, but I still have one problem that I can't solve I have a Nikon Coolpix S6 that I have Been Syncing with my Iphoto since I've got it 3 years ago and now when I place it in the cradle the program reconizes it and says that it is going to start to import the new photos the little white wheel in the center of the screen starts spinning but nothing else happens. I checked all my connections and they are goog plus I even downloaded a nikon progam just to double check the camera & cradle and it works there but it wont pair off with my IPhoto.

    First go to iPhoto Preferences, look in both General and Advanced tabs to make sure that things are set to import from camera into iPhoto.
    Then if that doesn't help, connect the camera and open Image Capture in your Applications > Utilities folder and see if you can use Image Capture to reset the import path from the camera to iPhoto.

    Hello All...
    Back after a brief absence, things look a little bit different.
    I'm trying to take a 16 minute mini dv video and compress it for use on the web. I'm interested in any suggestions you may have on settings for the video and audio tracks. I've tried using Sorenson 3 (15 frames, key frames set to automatic, 320 x 240) for video and IMA 4:1 (mono) for audio. The resulting video looked great but the file size came in at about 255 Mb.
    Thanks!

    Thank you for the replies.  Everyone was correct about the jack, interface, and phasing problems.  I have been unplugging my motu audio interface and then using headphones at work.  I have not changed any detailed audio output settings in logic.  When I read that the jack might be a problem I tried switching headphones.  This actually helped.  I am using dre-beats headphones and they seem to be having issues with the mac/jack-(the phasing/panning problems.  I can use these headphones with other devices but not the mac.  I have to use ipod ear buds and the phasing seems fixed.  Hopefully this information is helpful to someone else. 
    If anyone knows how to correct this issue please let me know its difficult to know what my final mixes are going to sound like and I have had to keep bouncing everything into i-tunes- sync to ipod and then listen in my car radio.

    Hi mattwillball,
    Could you please let me know what version of OS are you using.
    You might need to refer the following KB doc link for issue where Acrobat download and install process is stuck at 35% on MAC:

    If this does not help, then please let me know if you get any other error message when installation is stuck.

  • Is there a command to open an application menu because on other peoples macs i saw them open a little bar in the center of there screen with 4 apps running and i have did that before but on accident and i did not know what i clicked. how do i open it?

    Mission Control? It isn't a little bar in the center of the screen but does display the running apps. You can access it via the Control+Up arrow key combination and there are preferences for it in System Preferences.

  • Ive had my macbook pro for a week now and when i cleaned the screen 4 days ago i found a little chip in the screen so the computer was definitely chipped at the manufacture or at the store but again its almost microscopic

    To whom It May Concern,i have my macbook pro its a week old and after maybe 2-3 days cleaned it and noticed a little chip in the screen when the light flashed on the computer. Also my charger sometimes just dose not work ill plug it in at a different outlet then it will work its very frustrating to have this many issues i would like to see if i could get a new charger that actually works and a macbook without a tiny chip in it

  • Satellite U400 running little slower now

    My laptop Toshiba Satellite U400 running little slow and maybe because i have old drivers for:

    Yes because it shows i have version for this: 8.7.0.1007* but the *NEW version* *is: 9.1.1.1012*
    Where can i get these new drivers please?
    bcz as i said earlier my laptop is runing little slower now.
    Thanks.

    No smart Paolo, i dont know about smart but now this is second time i tell you, its not the same question it's not about the same driver even.
    Read carefuly and you'll see.
    It doesnt seem you can help people so good, so plz if you can't help and HAVE NOT knowledge and are not good at PC-solution then it's better to not post at all.... Because if i have followed your help maybe my laptop now would be destroyed, since you said i had wrong drivers for my Graphic Card, i was close to follow your instructions and to mess up and maybe even destroy by uninstalling and installing drivers, because Graphics are senestive now , but i am glad i did not follow your Instructions Paolo30.
    *Anyone that know about this issue ? where to get latest drivers for Mobile Intel (R) 45 Express Chipset Series Processor to DRAM Controller - 2A40 ?*

  • I have had my Iphone 4s for a little over a week now. It just DIED...Can some one please tell me why? the battery life was at 90% I sure do not want to lose all my picture's of my Grand-Daughter, or everything that I have purchased on it. Can someone help

      I have had my IPhone 4S for a little over a week now. My battery life was at 90% It Died, Dead, Does not work at all. Can someone tell me what in the heck is going on here. I have had all of the Apple Phones and They all had their little quirks..But This is ridiculous is it just with the Black 4S or the White 4S or both. Help?

    The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
    Restart... Reset... Restore from Backup...  Restore as New...
    Restart / Reset
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    Try this First... You will Not Lose Any Data...
    Turn the Phone Off... ( if it isn’t already )
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear and then Disappear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...
    Turn the Phone On...
    If that does not help... See Here:
    Backing up, Updating and Restoring
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    If you try all these Steps and you still have issues... Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step... Be sure to make an appointment first...

  • HT6114 Can't save downloads to existing files??  In the "save as" box I use the little "search" window to locate where I want to put a new file but when found the location file does not operate.  And dropdown menu says "save to online acct"

    When I try to save an emailed-to-me document to an existing file on my hard drive by using the little "search" window the recipient file is inactive and does not open to recieve the document I want to save (nothing happens when I click on it and it's a subdued color).
    If I click through my files manually by starting on the desktop and working my way to the location of the recipient file I can save.
    This takes a lot of time and is DRIVING ME CRAZY!
    Please tell me I've just missed something obvious that can be fixed in a jiffy!?

    OMG!!  It also happens when I try to open a file from inside a program like Adobe Reader.  If I use the little corner search window all the files are inoperable.

    The little connecting circle comes on and turns no matter what -- whether it's from a bookmark, an email, a typed in address.
