Displaying Keynote Presentations on 60 Inch TV

I'm gonna use my recently purchased iMac 3.06 to relay slides and video to a Big Screen Sony TV. Any suggestions as to what type of video/audio cables I would need?

It's best to indicate the particular model of TV and/or its connection ports. For example, if it's THIS SONY 60" HDTV, it has HDMI inputs and so, to your iMac's +Mini DisplayPort+, you can connect this adapter:

...along with this 6' or 12' HDMI cable:

NOTE: I haven't tried the above products myself — perhaps someone else can confirm they would work or offer an alternative suggestion.

  • Want Keynotes' presenter's display to be NOT in full screen

    Hello,
    I do live music shows on a Single MacBook Pro. Retina Display, Running 10.10.1
    In my show I run Keynote for visuals (always on a secondary large TV via HDMI out) and I run Audio via MainStage from the Logic Suite.
    I want to be able to exit work in MainStage, (switching songs, changing volumes etc.)  WITHOUT interrupting Keynotes Video display or pictures, text, videos etc.
    How can I do this.
    The only way to play a slide show is to play it, and when it plays it automatically turns the presenter's display to full scree, thereby locking me out of access to MainStage, or any other software.
    Any way to play a Keynote slide show NOT in full screen for the presenter's display????
    please help.

    When Keynote is in play, no other applications will be seen as Keynote takes over complete control of the graphics system, if you switch from Keynote to another application, Keynote will be hidden. Keynote has always worked this way.
    We use two Macs to be able to display Keynote and a second  application.

  • Is it possible to loop a Keynote presentation on an external display while working in another program (say numbers) on my laptop screen?

    I have a 2012 MacBook Air.
    What I would like to be able to do is plug into an external display and project a looping Keynote presentation on the external display. The problem is when I play the Keynote presentation, my laptop screen goes black. Is it possible to play/loop a Keynote presentation on an external display while working in a different program (Pages, Numbers, etc) on my laptop screen?
    Thank you!

  • How can I get back to my Keynote presentation once I've linked to a website?

    I've created a Keynote presentation. On one slide, I have a link to a relevant Vimeo video on the web. It gets there seamlesly. However, when the 4 minute video is done playing, I can't return to my presentation. If I "x" out of Safari, my Keynote is gone.  I've tried hitting esc but that doesn't work either.
    Thanks for your help.

    Use application switcher to display Keynote ; (command  tab) press the command key then tap the tab key then release.

  • How can I make sure fonts in a Keynote presentation developed on iMac will show/match when transferring the presentation to MacBook Air?

    It would seem (to me) this should not be an issue, but I have an iMac and MacBook Air with the identical version of OS (10.7.4) and Keynote ('09 5.1.1).  Yet, the fonts don't match.  Fonts I would regularly use when developing the presentation on the iMac do not transfer (create "Review" errors) to the Air.  How can I fix it so that all the fonts on iMac show on Air?

    If I am understanding your question correctly what you are wanting to achieve is not possible. You can't run the same keynote presentation on both devices at the same time. Also, why would you want to use the small screen size of the iPhone as your display instead of the iPad? If it is just to see your presenter notes then print them out and use the iPhone as your remote.
    Perhaps more info is needed so i fully understand your issue.

  • How can I control a keynote presentation on my iPhone from my iPad?

    I have Keynote installed on both my iPhone and iPad.  I would like to be able to remotely control a presentation using my iPad.  I would like the iPhone to display the slideshow while I remotely control the show using my iPad.  I currently can control the show in the opposite way-my iPhone can easily find and control the slideshow displaying on the iPad.  I really want to display the show on the iPhone while using the larger screen of the iPad to control the show while I read the presenter's notes.  I only seem to be able to display on the iPad and use the iPhone as a remote control.  (I know that this is probably the preferred user method.)  The iPad will not even detect the iPhone when looking for devices.  Both are on the same WiFi network and have bluetooth turned on.  Does anyone know why the control only works in one direction or how to reverse control?

  • How can I run a keynote presentation in full screen mode ?

    How can I run a keynote presentation in full screen mode?

  • Can you automate an iPad keynote presentation like a slide show?

    I have a very basic keynote presentation that I've created on my iPad 2.  No fancy transitions, etc.  Essentially slides with pictures and information.  I need to have it run like a slide show and repeat itself over and over for a static display.  Can someone help me accomplish this?
    Thanks in advance.

    Yes, you will do it by setting the transition options for the slides.

  • Keynote presentations notes

    I make simple presentations on my mbp then download them into my iPod Touch 4th gen for connection to a VGA TV.  I use an iPad 2 with Keynote remote to control it.  However, when I transfer the presentation from the mbp to the Touch I lose all the text formatting on my presentation notes.  Is there a way to underline or bold text or change text color in the presentation notes that works on the Touch?

    The Optomo projector pico mirrors exactly what is on my mac pro. Any help appreciated Thanks, George UK
    Apple Menu > System Preferences > Displays > Arrangement:  de-select the Mirror Displays checkbox
    In Keynote 6.5.2 whilst in rehearse presentation mode there is now no switch screen button on the top right like there used to be.

  • Is it possible to find out the names of the various objects (jpegs, pdf's, etc) in a keynote presentation?

    I have to re do a keynote presentation for powerpoint -- the export feature won't work on the pc -- it simply says that it wasn't possible to display some of the text and objects because they had become corrupted, and were replaced with blank slides.  I was wondering if it's possible to find out the names of the objects used in the presentation.  That way I could save them to a folder and just paste them in to the PPT version on the PC.  I know they have to be somewhere on the Mac that the presentation was made on, so is it also possible to find out where they would be?
    I tried right clicking on the objects in the slide, but there was no 'get info' option, like there is in a finder window.  Please help if you can.
    Chris

    There are a few options for you here. In the Inspector>Metrics Tab, when you click on the picture, it will display the name. Then you can use the find feature of the Finder to locate the picture. If you have Keynote set to save files as Packages, you can right click the file in the Finder (or control click) and then select Show Package Content. This will show you all the files that make up your Keynote and you can copy the pictures out of there into a new folder. Finally, if you can't find them any other way, you can select and copy the picture in Keynote, then open Preview and command-n (or File Menu>New from Clipboard) and then save the file to where ever you want so you can find it.

  • Can I present a keynote presentation using airplay and Apple TV? How do I set up airplay ?

    Can I present a keynote presentation using airplay and Apple TV? How do I set up airplay ?

    Hi Andy,
    You can do this reasonably easily.
    First up you need to think about how you are going to drive the TV- Your iMac could do it, but a laptop would be easier if you can access one.
    Second you need to look at the screen inputs. If it is a flat screen TV it is likely to have at least a VGA connection which you should have a connector to 'out of the box' and it will work much like connecting your mac to a projector would.
    If not you'll probably need a connector for your mac that outputs composite (a single RCA connector) or S-Video to connect. You'll need to do this connection and find out the resolution the display supports before the big day (I live in a country with PAL which typically is 720x576). Make the Keynote presso the same resolution and you should be all good. A test drive is essential!
    Here's a typical adapter from the Apple Store
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/M9267G/A?fnode=MTY1NDA5OQ&mco=MjE0NTg4NQ
    Just as a thought- you could just burn a DVD with the images- it's pretty simple to set up (with transitions) a photo library in iDVD, though a little more tricky if you need the images to appear at certain times.

  • How to keynote presentation question

    I will build a keynote presentation for a presentation at univeristy. My MBP will be connected to a external screen for the public. Now I am wondering if there is a way so that I can have also my personal notes to look at on my MBP, but they will not show on the public screen?
    Many thanks!

    To set up presenter display to show the notes window:

  • Keynote Presentations/ipod/TV

    Hello,
    When I save my Keynote presentations as jpegs and them upload them to my video ipod through iPhoto the edges of each resulting slide are cut off on the TV. I've tried the widescreen setting in the video settings and it doesn't make a difference. Any suggestions for a quick way to somehow convert/format the photos to display entirely on a TV screen?
    By the way, it makes a HUGE difference if you use the dock's s-video out vs the AV adaptor. Superb quality. I'm impressed.
    Thanks for any ideas.

    Televisions do not show the whole image, there is a "Safe Area" which is not shown, unlike a computer screen which underscans and does show the entire image.
    In fact there are two safe areas - action safe and title safe. Action safe is 5% all round the image and title safe is 10% all round the image. Widescreen is more complex as there are various options - shoot to protect 4:3, shoot to protect 14:9, 16:9 etc.
    In short you need to make sure that your text does not go near the edge of the image. If your slides are on a flat coloured background you could do a batch resize in say Photoshop to reduce the size of the images then increase the size of the canvas.
    regards

  • How do I keep the original background color in a Keynote presentation after PDF?

    My Keynote presentations have a grey background. But when I convert to PDF, it turns to black. Help?

    Hi jvtennis,
    What are you using to convert your file to PDF? Are you using Acrobat or "printing" to PDF from Keynote?
    Regardless, one thing to check is that you have Show Large Images selected in the Page Display settings in Acrobat or Reader.
    Best,
