Digital projector for presentations?

need advice for best digital projector for presentations compatible with Power Book G4

I have plugged my G4 Powerbook TI into two different projection systems, one at a Chevron facility and another at the Las Vegas Convention center. Absolutely NO problems what-so-ever! These things are designed to work with the same projectors/displays as almost anything out there, especially Apple Powerbooks.
I did just get a deal from Office Depot ($899) for a Sharp XR-11C that has 1024x768 resolution with 2,000 Lumens! OH, and it is HD ready as well! Yes, you can use it for presentations as well as hooking it up to the cable box for the Super Bowl and the Final Four! LOL! My sales manager used on her pc notebook and it was simply awesome. Super crisp, great color rendition, fairly easy to use and it came with pretty much all the cables you will ever need. YOu did keep your RGA/DVI adapter, right? You will need that more then likely. I hope this helps!

TS1702 how do i use microsoft word on my ipad? i cannot use flash on it as well neither do i use it with projector for presentation.

how can i use microsoft office on my ipad? i can't also use flash to copy and transfer documents into it and neither could i use it with a projector for presentation.

You can't use MS Office on the iPad as Microsoft haven't made app versions of their programs (you can only use apps that are in the iTunes app store on your computer and the App Store app on the iPad), but there are apps that support word, excel and powerpoint documents. The options include Apple's Pages app for Word documents, Numbers for Excel spreadsheets and Keynote for Powerpoint. And from third-parties apps such as Documents To Go ('premium' version) and QuickOffice Pro HD.
As to how you then get the file to your chosen app will depend upon what the app supports - different apps will have different ways of copying their content to/from a computer e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to your computer's iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc

How should i connect my new macbook air to lcd projector for presentations?

One of these should work, depending on the projector. Just note both will not allow you to play protected movies on the projector.

Using a projector for presentations

I am and will be making presentations on the road. Prior to my first presentation I set up my projector and fiddled with it to work correctly immediately when I plugged it in. So, I was prepared in advance to avoid any problems.
So much for advance planning. I made a presentation today at a facility that already had a projection system in place. What I tried to avoid through advanced planning turned challenging. Immediately upon plugging into their system my display turn to horrible. I went to split screen with part of my display on the projection screen and the other on my MBP. The graphics were no longer correct; huge grainy screen not what I expected.
Is there an area I could go to that would guide me through how to set up my MBP when in a strange environment? Thanks.

I use a projector quite a lot with few problems. Go to Displays in System Preferences and select "show display in menu bar" so you have the screen icon in the menu bar. Then when you plug in a projector you can quickly click on that icon to see if it appears in the list (eg Proxima). If it doesn't you manually change the color and resolution settings to something that hopefully works

Will an iPad mini with retina display connect to a digital projector?

Will an IPad mini with retina display connect to a digital projector for presentations?

Yes, certainly. Depending on the projector's inputs, you'll need one of these adapters:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD826ZM/A/lightning-digital-av-adapter

or a third-party equivalent.

Configuring Mac Pro for presentation on two projectors + presenter's view

I want to know how to order a Mac Pro that will support the presenter's monitor, and two audence video projectors for presentation. There are several graphic card options. Would the included graphic card do, or do I need to upgrade to another? When the discription says that it supports a dual DVI port, does that mean powerful enough to support a pigtailed dvi cable? For example:
NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT
For excellent all-around performance in creative and productivity applications, choose one or more NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT. It features a 256MB frame buffer and both a single-link DVI port and a dual-link DVI port, making it capable of simultaneously supporting one 23-inch and one 30-inch Apple Cinema Display.
OR
Would I just add another GeForce 7300 GT, which I'm assuming it means 2 X at the Mac store site.
This computer will be replacing a lame Dell PC at church. It will need to display the presentor's view so that the operator can see his desktop and the program (Keynote), the audience sees the slides on the big screen, and the worship team and pastor can see what is on the screen behind them without turning around.

You should be able to do this without a problem using a single card (7300 or x1900) without a problem as both have dual DVI ports (the single-link port should be fine for projector resolution). Plug one DVI port into the project and another into the presenter's display. Then go to Displays in System Preferences and set the displays to "mirror". This will mean that the same information will be displayed on both the display and projector simultaneously.
Hmm. I just reread your question and saw that you're really talking about 3 displays (2 projectors, not 1 + the presenter's display). Don't know about a pigtailed DVI cable to split the image to 2 displays/projects. Someone out there would probably have an answer on this. If you cannot split the signal to 2 displays you'll definitely need to buy another card as there are only 2 physical ports on the 7300 (or x1900) card. The dual-link/single-link has to do with how the port is used where dual-link is needed for higher resolution displays, like the 30" Cinema Display. So, an additional 7300 should do the trick. I don't have experience configuring 3 displays using the System Preferences but with the 2 x 7300s you should be able to achieve what you're looking for. You should be able to have 2 displays mirror with a separate display for desktop/application, all 3 mirror, etc.

Appearance on screen (via projector) when presenting - full screen or not?

How do I control / determine how keynote uses the "full screen" to run a presentation? I am anxious that when I have to run it through a projector it will appear too large or too small - any tips re using Keynote with a projector - as I have not done that yet but will have to soon.
Also - what does the slide size on the initial drop down box control? using this I can make the photos I bring in very large, but to large to be practical - what is the purpose of this sizing control?

<< How do I control / determine how keynote uses the "full screen" to run a presentation? I am anxious that when I have to run it through a projector it will appear too large or too small - any tips re using Keynote with a projector>>
Once the computer and projector are connected and operating, first go to System Preferences > Displays and click on the button "Detect Displays." This will show you the current settings for the resolution of both displays. Adjust these if/as necessary to produce a proper image on both your computer and the projector.
One useful tool to check and adjust these settings is to use a "test pattern" slide. You can find several from which to choose (and copy) by searching Google for the words "test pattern." (The old "Indian Head" test pattern is always fun.)
Next, if you will be using the projector for presentation to your audience and your computer display for your Presenter Notes, be sure that "Mirror Displays" is NOT checked in the System Preferences > Displays > Arrangement window.
Now, in the Keynote Preferences > Slideshow Preferences menu, check the box "Scale slides up to fit display." This will ensure that your slides fill the projection display properly. Then check the button "Present on Secondary Display" to assign your presentation to the projector and in the Keynote Preferences > Presenter Display Preferences menu check the box "Use alternate display to view presenter information; this will put the Presenter notes and cues onto your computer monitor.
You also might want to try checking all of the other boxes in this menu; the information this will put on your screen will be very helpful while making your presentation.
Good luck.

I am trying to connect a Macbook Pro to a projector for a Powerpoint presentation. When I use a VGA cable, the color of the projected images are not good. When I use a USB cable, the projected image includes the presenter notes on my computer screen?

To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network,Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
But however you do choose to link the two machines...
Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
Then hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
and select the Library that you moved. That's it.
This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.
Your first option didn't work because you imported one Library to another. Every version and thumbnail is imported like a distinct photo, you lose all your Albums, Keywords etc., the link between Original and Previews is destroyed, the non-destructive editing feature is ruined and so on. In summary: it's mess.
Your second option didn't work because you simply referenced her library on the old machine.

Seek interface suggestions for interactive Projector movie to be displayed on a digital projector

This is kind of a weird involved question and may not belong here, but I don't know where would be best to ask.
I'm putting together a tongue-in-cheek game show for a party. The graphics will be projected onto a projection screen via digital projector. At first, the plans were for everything to be done in PowerPoint, but I don't know it well, and want to do animations, game show sounds and animated screens with quiz questions in Director. I'm trying to decide whether my idea for an interface hidden from the audience will work. I'd prefer all the buttons that control the projector are not displayed to the audience. I'll be clicking these buttons in real time as the show progresses, displaying questions and playing sounds & graphics, etc.
Issue #1 is I won't have the laptop or the digital projector until the day before the event, which is in another state. The laptop doesn't have Director so everything needs to be finalized and exported as a Dir. Projector before I fly out.
Issue #2, I don't know anything about digital projectors and won't be able to practice until its too late to alter my Dir. Projector. (I'm making a Powerpoint show to fall back on.)
Here's what I was thinking, because I don't know if digital projectors have to show everything on the monitor, or can they be adjusted to display a partial screen?
http://oi57.tinypic.com/2ivlfg2.jpg
Ideally, the audience would see only an 800x600 stage - but my movie would be 800x700, with a bunch of buttons for all my sounds and animations in the bottom, visible only to me
Anybody had experience making something like this for a digital projector? Pointers, suggestions, advice appreciated!

I suggest you skip the on screen buttons and let director detect on keydown or if keyPressed events on the laptop keyboard instead of controlling the movie with mouse input. You can build some easy navigation, play sounds, videos or whatever for your game.

External Projector for Slide presentation on iPhoto 09

I need assistance in using an external projector for a slide presentation of my pictures. I can not get the pictures to project. I can do Keynote presentations with no problems with the same settings. thank you for your help...

Welcome to Apple Discussions Alejandro,
iPhoto does not support slideshow play back on a secondary display like keynote does. iPhoto always displays the slideshow on the primary display. There are a few ways you can get around this:
1.) Export your slideshow as a Quicktime Movie and play it in Quicktime or iTunes
-- File > Export > Slideshow -- Check off "Display" and "Automatically send slideshow to iTunes"
-- Once your slideshow (now a movie) is in iTunes you can move itunes to your second display (or projector) and then play
2.) Change the primary display from the computer display to the projector
-- You can tell your computer to display on the projector first by changing your display preferences
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301408#3
-- Go to Apple > System Preferences > Displays > Arrangement > Drag the small white bar from the current display (which is your computer) to the secondary display (which is your projector)
-- Now play your slideshow
3.) Set your computer to use mirroring ( I don't like this option because you lose your primary display for the duration of the slideshow
-- Go to Apple > System Preferences > Displays > Arrangement >Mirror
-- Now play your slideshow
Hope that helps!

Connecting digital projector to Satellite 1000 laptop

I would like help please in connecting my Satellite 1000 to
a digital projector to make a Power Point presentation.
I use other laptops at work and am reasonably familar with the process. However I could not get the 1000 to work.
I connected using the blue monitor port and tried to select RGB using Fn+F5 but at first nothing appears on the projection screen - no toggle. Eventually my laptop screen appears on the projection screen but not on the laptop, which freezes completely.
Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Hi

Using iPhoto for presentation

Hi all,
I want to be able to show photos of art work from my iPhoto in a presentation. People tell me I need to buy Power Point but do I really need to? I want to use my computer to plug into what ever type of projection system is available and manually move from one photo to another. No music, no fancy Ken Burns type effects. I'm not even sure what type of projection connection is standard in the industry. Would I need Power Point to connect to most US University projection systems or can I just sent up a folder in iPhoto and manually move from photo to photo. Just what the ehck will I be plugging into that gets me from my computer to a projection screen in a lecture hall anyway?
thanks in advance

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. No you don't need PowerPoint. My wife teaches at the local college and uses iPhoto as her presentation application.
You'll need to set up an iPhoto album for the presentation. If you have a laptop that includes the apple remote you can use it to advance, pause and go back.
Here's how I have it set up for her:
1 - select the album with your slides and click on the Play button at the bottom.
2 - in the Settings pane put in 600 seconds. This will let you discuss the slide for up to 10 minutes without the slideshow automatically advancing. Uncheck all of the checkboxes (except the "show title" if you want that option). Set your transition to the style and speed that you want.
3 - In the music section uncheck the Play music checkbox.
4 - save the settings via the Save button.
Now you can start the slideshow by selecting the album and Option-click on the Play button.That will bypass the settings window and go directly to the slideshow. With the Apple remote the play button will start the slideshow once the album has been selected.
We found that we had to be connected to the digital projector with it turned on before we booted up the laptop. Then in the Monitors preferences pane select the Arrangements section (it only shows up if you're connected to a second monitor or digital projector) to complete your setup. That may vary depending on the projector but if we were already booted before connecting the laptop the projector would not be recognized.
The first time we got a message window saying the resolution of the screen should be set to 640 x 480. However, later on we used a higher resolution and it worked OK and looked better.
If you don't have an Apple remote then you can use the arrow keys to operate the slideshow.
We use the DVI to VGA adapter that came with the MacBook Pro to connect to the projector. Depending on the age of your iBook you'll have a VGA or mini VGA port. The mini came with iBooks starting in May, 2002. You'll have to determine what type of connection the projector uses. Ours was a VGA. Then you'll need mini-VGA to VGA adaptor if yours is a later iBook.
We do have PowerPoint and use it to make the slides but export them to iPhoto for the lectures. So if you have your slides/photos and don't need to have any text with them, just put them in an album and off you go. You can always make title slides with a text editor, do a Print to PDF/Send PDF to iPhoto to get the slide into iPhoto as a jpg file.
I definitely would do a trial run before the lecture to make sure you have the correct connectors, etc. My wife's first night in class was somewhat of a disaster even though we went in a couple of days before and ran it. Some equipment had changed and she's not very technically adept.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

How do I put an external display to sleep when I am using my MacBook Air for presentation?

How do I put an external display to sleep when I am using my MacBook Air for presentation? I do not want to go to the projector just to turn it off and turn on again after a while? Is there a keyboard shortcut for that?

I want to be able to sleep the external display and at the same time do things in the MacBook.( This feature is useful for me so that I can prepare some things and so that my audience will not see what I am about to show them.)
Is there a feature for Mountain Lion?
