Ghost of Presentation Displays on Second Slide

I'm not sure how to accurately describe what I'm experiencing, but I'll give it a try. On certain PowerPoints, when I publish them using Presenter and then play them, a ghost or flicker of the entire presentation plays rapidly when I advance to the second slide. I have the presentation set to advance by user. I've played around with slide times - anywhere from 1 second to 10 seconds. I've even tried putting a blank slide in the position of the second slide, but this keeps happening. This doesn't happen on most presentations - just two so far. Has anyone else encountered this?

The only way I was able to solve the problem was by changing the transparency of my background back to 0% and applying it to all.
I wanted a background that looked faded, so I ended up using Photoshop to create a lighter background and set it to a Transparency of 0% to simulate the effect. This seemed to solve the problem.

Is it possible to get Apple Keynote to show the presenter display instead of just the slides when I record audio using Play - Record Slideshow?

Rather than giving a presentation with an external monitor, I want to sit at my desk and record a presentation for distribution like a podcast. When I click record to add the sound to the presentation I see the slide show on the screen while recording instead of the presenter display. I would like to watch the presenter display while recording so that I can see the next slide as I record. There doesn't seem to be any way to record and watch the presenter display without having an external monitor attached. Does anyone know how to get the presenter display to show while recording without an external monitor?

I also needed to view presenter notes while recording a presentation on my Macbook Pro and could not find a solutions, but I did find a pretty good work around.
I downloaded the Keynote Remote app for my iPhone. I am now able to start recording on my laptop and then hit start slideshow on my iphone to view a portrait mode version of my slides with presenter notes below. I use my phone to flip through slides and slide builds while I'm reading through my presenter notes. When I've reached the end of the presentation I hit esc on my Macbook Pro and I'm done. I'm then able to export the recorded presentation as a Quicktime video and post it on our website, which is exactly what I set out to do.
It takes a little bit of coordination to get used to this method, but I don't need to have a projector or second monitor because my phone takes on the second monitor role.

When using presenter display, my videos are jumpy. Why?

Hello: I just upgraded to Keynote 3 and am having a nightmare. I use the Presenter display mode so I can see the next slide, (no mirroring) and use a lot of Quicktime video clips in my engagements. In Mirroring mode they run smoothly. In the presenter display mode they stop every second for half a second - making the video extrememely irritating to watch. It worked perfectly in Keynote 2. It 's not the projector - I've tried it on seven projectors that I used prior to Keynote 3 and it happens on all of them. I've tried using different resolutions, different refresh rate modes, etc. Nothing make it work right.
I do 100 speaking engagements a year. HELP! Don't make me go back to PowerPoint!

I have been having the same problem both in KN2 and in KN3. I am a speaker as well and I use about 25 QT videos in my keynote presentation. When I go back and view the QT files outside KN I still have jumpy, choppy parts of my videos. The weird part is that the the videos are choppy at different sections and then they will be fine for a week. I am stumped and from what I see so is Apple. Apple has replaced 2 logic board and I have spent hours on the phone with tech support and still no idea. All I know if about 15,000 people have seen the apple at the front and seen the choppy video and as you can guess all the PC guys always mention how choppy the video was. Not good promo for Apple.
I am interested to see if anyone has any answers to this.
Thanks

Can Preview be made to offer a Presenter Display much as Keynote?

When in "play" mode, Keynote offers a highly valued feature known as +Presenter Display+ that shows the current plus the next presentation slide on the computer screen side by side while, at the same time, driving a beamer connected to the display port with the current slide in full screen mode. +What I am looking for is an analogous function in Preview.+
Reason: I am routinely using LaTeX to prepare scientific presentations (and texts) in .pdf format, and this cannot be changed for various reasons. Keynote does not support importing an entire presentation in .pdf format and Adobe Professional offers no Presenter Display facility. So I am out of luck and forced to deliver my lessons and talks in the old way without being able to see the upcoming slide, which is far from optimal if one has collected thousands of slides over the years.
Any help is greatly appreciated. In case there were no solution with the current tool set, I would like to see this understood as an enhancement request by Apple. Thank you!

You should post here for Apple to get your feedback:

When I customize my presenter display it doesn't work! I still get on my screen what shows on the main display.

When I customize my presenter display so that I can see the time and the next slide on my screen, it doesn't work. I get just the normal view on both. Any ideas?

In Keynote Presenter Display Preferences ensure that Alternate Display: "Use alternate display to view presenter information" is checked
If using a laptop such as a MacBook Pro, toggle the Dual Display Key (typically F7 - has two rectangles on the key) to switch views
It is probably one or both of those causing your problem.
Good Luck.

Presenter Display Options Are Missing in Keynote 6?

I upgraded to Mavericks / Keynote 6 yesterday.
I have a dual monitor setup on my iMac27, and today when I'm trying to play a keynote presentation, it displays on the wrong monitor.
I seem to be unable to switch it to my primary monitor, because the "Presenter Display Options" tab (under preferences) that was present in the previous version is alltogether missing.
Anyone else have this issue, and a work-around?
Where are the "Presenter Display Options"?
Thanks, JB

Hi, everyone.
I, too, have encountered the same problem the first time I fired up Keynote to an external projector. After trying out all the suggestions posted here, I stumbled upon a simple remedy.
1. Ensure that the "Enable Presenter Display" checkbox is ticked under the "Slideshow" preferences tab of Keynote. I believe this is enabled by default.
2. Then right click the "Keynote" icon at the dock, and under "Options," assign to "None" or "All Desktops."
I found that this enabled Keynote to present my slides in the exact same way as the previous Keynote version did. Whether assigning it to "None" or "All Desktops" makes any difference or not, I cannot tell, but both options work. I hope this helps.

Launch a website from Presenter display?

I was in a presentation, and could not launch a website from the presenter display, clicking it only advanced the slide. Unfortunately, I didn't test that out before presenting in front of a few hundred people this morning. Ooops.
Can anyone please help me?
Thanks!

In the Terminal, at the prompt, enter:
open http:// ...followed by the domain hierarchy. For exmple:
open http://discussions.apple.com
Hope this helps.

Customizing presenter display

Does Presenter Display have to be customized one slide at a time, click done, and then go back into Customize Presenter Display? Is there no way to remain in Customize Presenter Display and move through the slides, not clicking on Done until all slides are ready?
Thanks,
Ben

Sorry. In that case, my question makes no sense. I misunderstood what was happening (I've never used presentation notes before). I thought the amount of space devoted to notes could be increased or decreased for each slide individually.
Thanks for the help.

I dont like the presenter display

I would like to see my outline slide view while presenting on another display. I've already got a projector hooked up and displaying full screen, but I'm not comfortable with the presenter display.

I'm afraid the outline view or something resembling it isn't possible on the presenter display. What you have available is in the Presenter Display tab in the Keynote preferences. Do make use of the "Edit Presenter Layout..." button and arrange the presenter display to your liking. Mine has a much larger Notes window, larger current slide and almost no empty space.
When presenting, make use of the number, plus, equals and hyphen keys to call up the slide switcher for quick jumps to other slides.

How can I make sure the Presenter Display will show up?

I use the option "use alternate display to view presenter information", and it works fine with my secondary display at home. The presenter information (Presenter Display) with my notes etc. shows up.
But when I gave a practice talk at my university, the Presenter Display did not show up, although all settings were the same. Back at home with my own secondary display, it works fine again.
How can I make sure that the Presenter Display will always show up on the secondary display?

I have a similar problem. Last year I gave a presention at a client's office using my Macbook. I had the presenter display on my Macbook screen and the presentation on their projector.
A few months ago I upgraded to the latest Macbook Pro 15" (plus there have been upgrades to OS X and Keynote in that time). This time when I tried to run the same set-up my MBP screen went blank. I tried changing settings for Keynote and System prefs with no success. The only way I cuould give the presentation without needing to look at the projector screen was to mirro the displays (and lose the Notes of course). Maybe there is a bug with the latest Keynote?

Getting present display records or Row Id's information in ALV grid?

Hi,
I am using REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY for ALV display.
I need to get the row id's when user filter the records with any conditions - or any other ways if he selected particular records - I need to process my logic only for those present displaying records in ALV grid.
So How do I can get preset display records in ALV grid or Present display records row id's ?
Please let me know .
And also I am using
CALL FUNCTION 'GET_GLOBALS_FROM_SLVC_FULLSCR'
    IMPORTING
      e_repid = i_repid
      e_grid = lt_grid
In lt_grid there is a table MT_ROID this table is having selected row id's information but I could not read this table. I think this will work only OO ABAP and also method - get_selected_rows is also not working.
I highly appreciate your answers.
Thanks

Hallo,
Any ideas?

Why won't my PowerPoint presentations display correctly?

Why won't my PowerPoint presentations display correctly?

In what app? As an email attachment? In another PP compatible iOS app?
Sometimes there are formatting issues with going from the MS office version of a document and opening it in an iOS app that is compatible with the MS file. The apps that are compatible with the MS Office suite of apps do not always open and display on the iPad the same way that they do in Office on your computer.
The iPad is not a full blown computer by any means and this is one of those trade offs that you sometimes have to accept if you want to use the iPad instead of a computer.

In Keynote09, if i set custom presenter display settings (large presenter notes), and i save the file, will i see my notes in the same way on another computer? Are the presenter display setting saved in the file?

How to start Presenter Display?

Hi all
This is my first go at Keynote '09 and I love it. I want to use the Presenter Display function but I can't find it. I know how to go into "view" to customize Presenter Display options. But for the life of me I cannot figure out how to play Presenter Display on my laptop while playing the display for the audience when I press "play". Please help me see the obvious. BTW-presentation is this Friday morning!
Thanks so much!

But do you have "secondary display"?
Open System Preferences > Displays > Check at the bottom "Show displays in the menu bar".
In the menu bar near the clock you'll see LCD monitor icon. Click on it and make sure you rMac doesn't show everything in Mirror Mode. Turn it off, so that you have 2 separate screens. Now it should work.
And remember — every time you connect new projector, Mac automatically turns on Mirror Mode, which you have to turn off. Mac does remember your chosen mode for previously connected projectors.

Presenter Display Problem

I updated to Mavericks and Keynote 6 last night. This morning I find that my class presentations do not display correctly. I have an external monitor (not via AppleTV) connected (and a projector in the classroom), and when I play the presentation the presentation appears to be overlaid on top of the presenter display on my main screen. I can see the edges of the presenter display under the main presentation screen (which is on my main monitor). The seconday monitor simply displays my desktop. This appears to be a Keynote problem since the seconday display appears to be working fine with everything except Keynote. If the solution is to change one of the settings in the presenter display, I am in trouble, since I cannot get to the presenter display controls as they are covered up by the display screen when I go to presentation mode. There appears to be no other way to access the presenter display settings (why aren't they in the Preferences?). The only way that I can find to view the display on the external monitor is to set the screens to mirror, but then (of course) I loose the presenter display entirely.
Any ideas?

In another thread, macmine and mainman1303 identified an useful workaround. Here is what you need to do:
1) Make sure the new version of Keynote has an icon on the dock.
2) Control-click on the dock icon, and go to the options.
3) Change the setting from 'Desktop on Display 1' to 'All Desktops'
4) When you run your presentation the first time the presenter display may come up on the projector/external monitor. If so, press the 'x' key to swap monitors (or use the icon in the upper left corner of the presenter display. After that it should work fine.
This seems to solve the problem, but there is still a bug here that needs to get fixed. And the options (and others) should be in the preference settings, not buried in an obscure place like the dock icon.
