Comments in Keynote 6 is now all about sharing - not Post-it Style notes

Hi all,
In previous versions of Keynote, I frequently used the Yellow Post-it style comments sheets to pin over slides to remind myself of something important - an ersatz Presenter Notes which would cover the slide. I often used it when my next slide was a movie which faded in from black to remind myself of the content of the next slide, rather than staring at a vacant slide.
That seems to have changed in Keynote 6, where the Comment tab now supports comment sharing and is invisible in Presenter mode. What seems worse for me is that in a movie I am trying to use it shows up in my next slide as black, and not even setting a poster view lets me see what the movie is... I now have to use Presenter Notes which I am one of the few who doesn't like or need - I prefer all the real estate to be devoted to my current and next slides or builds.
I'm trying to find a workaround to cue me in to my next slide's content other than presenter notes, so if anyone has discovered one, please let me know.

Thanks for your time providing an answer to my question of essentially missing elements in Keynote 6 which were part of a Keynote 5 workflow.
Because I stand in front of the audience, not at a podium, during my presentations, holding onto a collection of printouts and referring to them during my presentation is a non-starter. Being able to see the slide or build coming up on a presenter display showing on a vanity monitor (nowadays my iPad) is a much less obtrusive means to stay with my story without referring to notes. I was able to do this in KN5 using the Post-It style yellow comment notes.
Comments in KN6 are now more like track change notes in Word in Pages. And more to the point, the movie I have chosen to display shows up as blacked out on the "coming up" slide, even though there it starts immediately rather than from a bacl fade in. That's why I need a comment to place over the slide to remind me of the video.
The "solution" for now is to remain with Keynote 5 (there are APIs broken in KN6 which also prevent me using Viewfinder and Poll Everywhere) and play with KN6 to explore its capabilities. Mission critical work will remain with KN5 until I can find workarounds ot maintain my quality of presentation delivery, and/or Apple returns ommitted features to KN6 in the forthcoming months.

  • HT4858 What about shared photo streams that's not shared with anyone?

    I want to use shared photo streams mainly to keep my albums online and I find it the easiest way.
    The article says that the maximum amount of photo stream I can share is 100.
    What if I create a photo stream and I share it with no one? Will I be able to create more than 100 photo streams if I don't share them all?
    Thanks
    Uri

    It doesn't matter whether you share your shared album or not, it still counts toward the 100 limit.

  • TS3989 I was transferring all my vacation pictures from iPhone to PC because icloud was limited on space.  Now all pictures are gone from phone and not on PC or icloud. Where could they be?

    Can not locate any of my vacation pictures after trying to transfer from my phone to pc so I could have some printed.  All photos are missing as well as the contacts on my phone being removed.  Not sure what to do next.

    First of all, you should always save you photos on computer like any other digital camera.
    Backup on iCloud or iTunes only backup your Camera Roll. The other photos should be already on the computer.
    Note: Photos are not saved in iTunes, it's only a conduit between your iPhone and your photo managing software on computer.
    What computer do you have?

  • Sharing new post on Facebook,- not working correctly anymore

    I use to be able to update my blog and then go to that entry and click on the " Share on Facebook" in my bookmark bar and it would automatically share it on facebook. A picture would come up and the title of the entry. But this is no longer working? I tried reseting the "share on Facebook" button, I've tried copying the link and inserting it in the "post a link" field and nothing works. It shares a long url and then when you click on it, it says:
    Looking for something on MobileMe?
    We can't find the page you requested. Please make sure the URL is spelled and capitalized correctly, and try again.
    I don't get it? Any help would be great!

    Thanks for the pointers! I found that by adding facebook.com to the my cookies exception list, things started working again. I read somewhere else that the new Firefox does some conversions of URL's entered without www. into ones with that. Might something like that explain why facebook has always worked in the past but stopped working with the release of 14? Seems to be working fine now.

  • I'm at a gym where I can plug my ipod into the machines to listen to music and save the battery, it worked fine and all of a sudden, it is showing not supported, other peoples still work.

    I am at a gym where each machine has a port for ipods so you can listen to music through the machine and not run your battery down.  My worked fine for two months now all of a sudden, it is showing "not supported" and no longer works.  Anything I can reset on my ipod to get this working again?

    Have you tried using a different cable?  Try cleaning out the iPod's dock connector port making sure that it is clean and clear of debris as well as free of damage to the pins.

  • I have an iMac and also a MacBook. All of a sudden my iMac does not recognise my Canon 500D camera even though I have downloaded 1000s of photographs from it via the USB port.  The MacBook recognises the camera immediately. Can anyone help?

    I have an iMac and also a MacBook. All of a sudden my iMac does not recognise my Canon 500D camera even though I have downloaded 1000s of photographs from it via the USB port.  The MacBook recognises the camera immediately. Can anyone help?

    Thank you for your reply.  I know I can use a card reader however I don't see why I should when importing directly from my camera has worked reliably for years.  The process I use is simply connecting the digital output from my camera to the USB port on the iMac, which has previously automatically opened iPhoto ready for the import.  Now all of a sudden my iMac does not recognise the camera.  However if I connect in the same way to my MacBook then iPhoto opens automatically on the MacBook, recognises the camera and is ready for importing.  So whilst I know I can use a reader, or my MacBook I want to use my iMac in the same way that I have for years.  I can only assume that the settings on the iMac may have changed, but I cannot verify this.

  • I used to see a monthly "Feb 2014" photo stream category in my library for each month.  Now all of my photo stream photos (from my iPhone) are under "iCloud" under "Sharing" and I don't know how to get my pix out of there and separate them into libraries

    My computer has changed how it accepts photos from my phone.  They used to post into a library by the month and year, e.g., "Feb 2014 photo stream," but now all of the photos from my phone for the past year or so are lumped together into the "Shared" section under "photo stream." I did not put them there (that I know of) and now don't know how to get them out and into a library where I can categorize them. 

    The monthly events "Feb2014" will show you all photos that have been imported from "My Photo STream", if you have enabled "Automatic Import" in the "Preferences > iCloud" tab.
    The albums you are seeing under "iCloud" are the "Shared Photo Streams" and "My Photo Stream". To import from your "Shared Streams" drag the photos frommthe Shared Streams album to the Projects in the library panel.

    Hi StoneLeadyFarms,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like notes on your devices may have synced when the email account was added, as described here:
    iOS: Syncing Notes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4191
    Notes are associated with an IMAP email account or iCloud account. To sync Notes, enable Notes for each account in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars or Settings > iCloud.
    You can stop syncing notes by tapping Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars or Settings > iCloud, tapping the email address that you added, and switching Notes to the off position.
    Additionally, if your husband has backed up his iPhone to iTunes or iCloud, the steps in this article can help with recovering the lost notes from his device:

  • My iPhone just said "SIM failure" and now says Invalid SIM in the upper corner. What's this all about?

    My iPhone just said "SIM failure" and now says Invalid SIM in the upper corner. What's this all about?  Any ideas on how to resolve this.

    Looks like the Sim card had a catastrophic failure. Burnout, short somethng like that.
    You can try to take out the tray and reseat the sim card inside and see if that gets it back.
    Also try resetting the phone at least once by holding down the home and power buttons until the Apple Logo shows up.
    If none of this works you'll have to contact your cell carrier to get a new sim card, as it probably fried and is no longer functional.

    Hi DaVince Vince,
    I'm sorry to hear that you are having issues with your iPhone. I also apologize, I'm a bit unclear what issues you were having that led up to the attempted Erase All, and/or exactly what behavior you are seeing now (restarting, not responding at all, etc). If you are seeing an Apple Logo screen and your iPhone does not appear to be starting correctly, you may find the following articles helpful:
    If your iOS device restarts, displays the Apple logo, or powers off while you're using it - Apple Support
    If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support

  • I see there is another ios update. I have an iPhone 4S. The last time I updated the ios I lost all my contacts, as I had not been using the iCloud as a backup. I am now apprehensive about the latest update. How can I determine if contacts are backed up?

    I see there is another ios update. I have an iPhone 4S. The last time I updated the ios I lost all my contacts, as I had not been using the iCloud as a backup. I am now apprehensive about the latest update. How can I determine if contacts are backed up?

    You should never lose contacts under any circumstances.
    Although contacts are included with the iPhone's backup, contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book app on your computer where such important data should be available with or without an iPhone or any cell phone. Not a good idea to depend on a cell phone for such important data which can be lost or stolen or damaged beyond repair.
    In addition, there are a number of free email accounts that support syncing contacts over the air including an iCloud account, Gmail, Yahoo, and Hotmail.
    If you are not syncing contacts over the air with an iCloud account and not backing up your iPhone wirelessly with your iCloud account, your iPhone's backup is being updated by iTunes on your computer which is updated as the first step during the iTunes sync process.
    With Windoze, contacts can be synced with Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 along with syncing calendar events, notes, and reminders, or with the address book app used by Outlook Express and by Windows Mail called Windows Contacts for syncing contacts only. With a Mac, contacts can be synced with the Address Book app. This is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
    If the supported address book app on your computer is not used and has no contacts available, before the first sync for this data enter one contact in the supported address book app on your computer. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data, which you want to select.

    Just edited 20 film in FCPx all about 6 mins long all on 1 x 250gb flash drive
    Now i have another 10 to do but have no room on that drive.
    So i have been using my new 2tb drive to do the next 10 films with the footage on that drive, but i need elements from the first 20 films ie; graphics, common film elements etc to be added to the new 10 films.
    So I have copied all the footage, events and project folders from the 20 edited films over to my 2tb drive in a separate folder - ejected the 250gb drive (as i only have 2 thunderbolt slots and one is used for a 27 inch monitor on my macbook pro)
    .......my question is how do i load all of the 20 films into my project library so i can see all of the 30 films at once so i can copy and paste form one film to another - is this possible? and withlout messing up lol

    // any reason, why you color your post to 'invisible' low contrasted colors?? //
    I'm confused:
    by concept, there's Events and there's Projects.
    Events and Projects can be internal or on any ext. drive.
    You can use any Event in any Project.
    … so, why is the 'location' of your files on any relevance for your Projects ??
    Or, do you want to re-import done-Projects as 'Events'? Export,Import, done… (??)
