Controlling iTunes from within Keynote 2?

Is it possible to control iTunes from within Keynote, when I'm using the presentation tools? I haven't been able to make it work, and it is an essential part of being able to use Keynote in my lectures. It would be nice to switch from Powerpoint.
Right now, I'm using Synergy to control iTunes, and PPT lets me do it, but control keys/functions seem to be locked out in Keynote. Am I missing something?
Thanks for any help,
Geoff

Games often hardwire their keyboard functions into the code which means you can't change them,and they override your own settings.
The best option I can suggest is playing Urban Terror from a new user account on your Mac, in which you remove all Dashboard widgets and add the iTunes widget. A quick click of your mouse scroll wheel while playing Urban Terror will bring up Dashboard (you may have to set this in advance) and while that is not quite "ingame" it is as near as you will get... unless someone else has a better idea.
(I am assuming that you don't want to use Command-tab to switch to iTunes itself while you are playing?)

  • With iOS7, why can't my Toyota's bluetooth radio no longer control iTunes from my iPhone5?

    I updated my iPhone 5 with iOS7 and now I have no song-advance control (via steering wheel buttons or dashboard) over iTunes from my phone. Is this a bug within Apple's new operating system or is there something I need to change in settings in the phone or car to regain control over song-advancing? For whatever reason, the dashboard radio controls no longer control track skipping either. My car is a 2012 Toyota Prius and I assume the issue affects other Toyota models with bluetooth capability.

    OK, so just to reiterate what others have said:
    1. Remove the multimedia devices from your phone (Settings-Bluetooth-(your device)-i-Forget this Device
    2. Do a hard reset on the phone -push both buttons until the phone shuts down; then wait patiently for it to restart
    3. Go to your car and remove the Bluetooth pairing for your phone
    4. Turn off the car and wait 30 seconds
    5. Turn on the vehicle and re-pair your devices.
    After trying a number of different combinations, this finally worked. Good luck.

  • Cover flow into album art and how to control iTunes from another app.

    Hi all 2 areas of concen, one is coverflow/ album art and the other is itunes controller:
    I have searched but cannot find the answer to this:
    1) I have some songs with album info already, and I used iTunes to get the album art for coverflow etc. ... some songs from the same album did not have the album category filled in, I go back and fill it in: now how do I get iTunes to recognize the album art so it shows up for the newly corrected songs?
    2) In coverflow, iTunes picked the wrong album cover, can I manually fix it/pick the right one?
    3) will coverflow only show album art for those albums recognized by iTunes, or will it use album art that I get from other sources and add manually? And what will show up in my ipod?
    and lastly
    4), is there anyway to control iTunes without switching apps (if I am working in Word or safari and want to skip a song, etc)...is there an overlay controller?
    TIA

    Copy the entire folder from one drive to the other, change the path that iTunes is using to access the library.

  • Looking for App to control iTunes from iphone!

    Nothing currently available that will do so.

  • Connecting my iPod to my Car's 30-pin Dock but Being Able to Control It from Within the iPod?

    I have a 5th Generation iPod nano. I own a 2008 VW Eos which has a 30-pin dock. It functions but, my car's UI for iPod is nefastous. I wanted to know if there was a way to control the music within the iPod.

    Not using the dock connection.  That is for data, and your car audio system is "in charge" of playing the songs.  However, if the car audio system has an auxiliary audio input that is a standard mini-stereo jack (looks like headphones jack), you can connect the iPod there using a commonly available cable, like this

    Then, play your iPod through the car's speakers.

  • Controlling iTunes from a different computer

    I have an old Powermac G5 with my music collection on, and a MacBook connected via Ethernet to it. As the G5 doesn't have an infra-red port, I was wondering if there was anyway of using the infra-red port (with the apple remote) on the macbook to control iTunes on the G5?

    no. but you could use *screen sharing* to control iTunes on the G5. also, there are some scripts @ Doug's that may be of interest:

    lastly, if you have an iPod Touch or iPhone, you could use Apple's *remote app*.

  • Problem opening live web page (url) from within keynote

    hi.
    i encountered this problem during a recent presentation. i have a standard two-monitor set-up, on my laptop viewing notes etc and presenting on the attached monitor. the transitions between my slides are all set onClick.
    so, when i encounter a hyperlink in my presentation (of the web page type), when i click on it, i am not taken to the web page, but rather to the next slide.
    how do i avoid this? how do i make keynote follow the hyperlink -- i.e. open the webpage during the presentation?
    many thanks in advance for your tips.

    use '_blank' as parameter, not '_self'.

  • Updating Tab Control programmatically from within StateChart

    I would like to update a tab control, visible page, based on the current state, using the StateChart Module.  I first tried creating a reference to the tab control and passing that to a property node within the state in the statechart.  However when I drop the reference in the state it pulls every control associated with the tab control into the state, no good.  I tried with a property node with same results.  My next thought was to use a shared variable, but I dont believe that I can have a shared variable with enum data type.  Anyone have a solution for this problem?  It seems like someone else must have encountered the same issue at some point.  Any thoughts will be appreciated.
    Cheers!

    Don't forget Kudos for Good Answers, and Mark a solution if your problem is solved.

    The example uses the StateChart module, if you have the statechart module it is probably easier for you to try and replicate, just create a state in the statechart and place a tab control on the front panel of the vi that calls the statechart, and then create a reference to the tab and place it in the state of the statechart.  I will go ahead and make a quick example, but be warned that without the statechart module you wont be able to open it.
    I apologize for the zipped folder, I needed to attach more than 3 files.

  • Controlling iTunes from laptop keyboard media controls

    I have a dell xps laptop. The front of the laptop has media controls, for pause, play, skip, mute, volume etc. They currently only function with Windows Media Player. Is there any way I can change them so they work with iTunes?
    Thanks for any help.

    I have a similar problem. I have a Compaq laptop, and the media keys work when iTunes is the current application. Completely by chance, I found something that let me change the settings. I tried to install a plugin (for something completely unrelated) and created a plug-ins folder in the iTunes directory as per the plug-in instructions. When I opened iTunes, a bar appeared at the top, over the normal window, that was exactly like the mac bar, with the Mac buttons (fully functional). When I right-clicked on this, it gave me a different set of options, and in the options window there was a command that would make the media keys work even if iTunes was in the background, and it worked. The plug-in I installed didnt work, so I deleted it, and the mac bar at the top went with it. Then the media keys stopped working when iTunes was in the background again. No idea what happened and any ideas would be appreciated.

  • I can't update iTunes from within iTunes, can I manually install 10.7 without losing iPhone backups?

    The program doesn't do anything when I click "check for updates" besides ask me to download it. I need to update to windows 10.7 in order to restore my new iPhone 5 from a backup of my old 4, which broke a couple of weeks ago. If I download the new version and install it manually will I lose my backups?

    Updating to 10.7.0.21 using an iTunesSetup.exe or iTunes64Setup.exe shouldn't touch your content. By way of an example, I updated to 10.7.0.21 using an iTunes64Setup.exe and didn't lose anything.
    (That being said, it's still always a good idea to maintain a current backup at all times, in case of disasters of any sort.)

  • Safari not connecting to iTunes from email

    I've been trying to connect to iTunes from my weekly email (hotmail) iTunes updates, but every time I do it goes to the 'connecting to iTunes page' and never connects to iTunes and ends up freezing safari. I've had the same thing happen when I tried linking the facebook iTunes link (specifically the back to school sampler) to iTunes and the same thing happens. Anybody else with the same problem?

    I don't have any problem with the URL you gave in your reply, but if you can't connect to iTunes from within Hotmail, then I'd say it's an issue with Hotmail. You could just change your subscription information so that iTunes emails are retrieved from Hotmail using Mail, instead of logging into Hotmail to read them; that may solve your problem.
    Or, you could copy and paste the links in the email directly into Safari and see if that works any better for you. It's possible that the links themselves aren't correct, but then Apple would no doubt be hearing complaints from millions of people who subscribe to that email newsletter.

  • Feathered edges on graphics within Keynote 6.1?

    Is there a way to create feathered edges on graphics within Keynote 6.1 without bringing it in from another program? I know I can use Photoshop or some other program to create the mask but it seems there should be an easy way to do this from within Keynote. It seems the only masking available has hard edges.

    Quicker, easier and better results in Photoshop.
    You could use borders but not very convincing, select the image then:   
    Format Inspector > Style > Border > line > then select a line type from the dropdown menu and reduce opacity

  • Sending Garage Band to itunes from ipad problem

    I cannot find the file, instructions say to do this:
    In iTunes, the exported song appears in the Documents list in the File Sharing area when GarageBand is selected.
    I don't find this at all, anywhere in itunes.
    I am new to this, with a MacBook Pro and an iPad 3
    I appreciate help on this topic:-)

    You can only see the "Document list" when the iPad is connected to your computer.
    Open iTunes and select your iPad in the sidebar under devices.
    See: Re: copy songs to iTunes
    On the right side of the screen, you see "Summary Info Apps Music ...". Click on "Apps" and scroll down to File Sharing (in the window at the bottom of the page.) There -- click on GarageBand - and you will see "GarageBand Documents" with a list of any files you have sent to iTunes from within GarageBand. You can "Add" to this list (if someone gives you a compatible ".band" file, or "Save To" to save this file off somewhere else.

  • Controlling itunes on desktop using macbook

    Is there a program for the macbook that does the same thing as the remote control app for the iphone. For example if my gf is using the mac mini and we are listening to itunes through the desktop speakers, I want to be able to view and control itunes from across the room on my macbook without having to use screen sharing and disrupt whatever she is working on. thanks

    Not really if you have mobileme you could use Back to my Mac, but that is like screen sharing, cool feature but I think that is it.
