Hide slide switcher

When I'm playing a slideshow and want to jump to a specific slide, the slide switcher appears on the bottom of the screen, as I'm sure you've all noticed. The program is being used to project words for a band, so the person playing to slideshow needs to have to freedom to select different slides as the band jumps around in lyrics (not necessarily in a pre-set order). But with the slide switcher showing up, it looks really tacky.
Does anyone know of any way to select specific slides while keeping the slide switcher hidden?

What you can do is run the presentation in Presenter Mode. Then when you have to jump to a slide the slide switcher thing comes up on your display only - it doesn't go to the screen.
I don't like running shows in Presenter Mode. It's better to run a live show in Mirror mode for a bunch of reasons.

Hide slide switcher when presenting?

How can I hide the slide switcher. Using an iMac for presentation with only mirroring possible. I want to be able to type <12> <enter> and goto slide 12 without everyone in the building seeing the slide switcher pop up. CEO like the "look" but asked to loose the "pop up thing" while presenting.
Almost cool :'(

Welcome to the forums!
As far as I know, there is no way to keep the slide switcher hidden. If you regularly jump to set of specific slides, you can use hidden hyperlinks to jump to them and jump back, but that is not a general solution.

I'm changing from powerpoint to Keynote. In powerpoint you can change slides by typing in the slide number and hitting enter. I want to do the same in keynote without the slide switcher popping up at the top. Possible?

Wow, I may be losing my mind, you're right. I guess I was doing what you said out of old habits and not even realizing it. Much appreciated.

How do you display skipped slides in slide switcher?

Does anyone know how to display skipped slides in Keynote's slide switcher? I'd like to have the option of displaying skipped slides during presentations. This would be much easier than exiting out of presentation mode, right clicking the slide desired slide, selecting "don't skip slide", and re-entering presentation mode.
It is possible to place all skipped slides at the end of the presentation and then use slide switcher to navigate to those slides as they are needed, but that dimishes the potential of skipped slides. There is also the option of placing hyperlinks to skipped slides, but convilutes the slides and the slide making process to quickly if there are many hidden slides.

It's easy to become flustered while speaking if one cannot find their desired illustration quickly
Absolutly agree, often had the "where am I"? feeling.
Of course, adding multiple bottons adds clutter and would also encourage audience members to ask questions about the visible buttons.
The technique I use here is to blank the screen using the projectors remote control; this way there is nothing showing on the scren and I can go look for the required slide in the menu without the audience seeing it.
If its only 10 slides a small button at the bottom of the screen is unseen by the audience.
I also often use a paper crib sheet included with my presentation notes which list slide number and content for this purpose. If I need the slide with the pie chart, the sheet tells me its slide 84 so press; 8 & 4 & enter on the keyboard enter and slide switcher instantly jumps to that slide.

How to set the default action of slide switch to auto-rotate

Is there a way to set the default action of the slide switch to auto-rotate during the OS loading instead of volume setting?

You change the function of the side switch with Settings -> General -> Use side switch to:
I don't know what you mean by, "during the OS loading".

My mute slide switch no longer mutes, regardless of position, footer setting or settings in general area.

I changed the checkbox in the general settings area to rotation lock, which worked fine, but now I can't get back to the original setting where the slide switch mutes.. Even though I have restored all the settings to their original state...

Have you checked the "silent" switch located at the left of the recent apps tray? To see this double-click the Home button to show the recent apps tray and swipe the tray to the right to get to the "silent" switch.

My iPod nano screen is frozen and will not respond. It shows the song which was playing is paused, but will not resume playing. I have held down all controls, and changed the slide switch, but nothing happens

Hi Goofy Goat,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like you have done some great troubleshooting for your iPod nano that is not responding. In this situation, if resetting it did not resolve, I would suggest restoring the iPod back to its factory settings and then sync your content back onto it from iTunes. Please use the following article as a resource for restoring.

Jump to hide slides

Hi !
In PowerPoint i can hide slide and jump to it from other slides.
In Captivate i can hide slide, but .... oops can't jump to it from other slides?
For example , i have slide 1 with button and slide 2.
I need come to slide 2 ONLY click slide 1 button. It's branching.
How can i to do it?

Really? The playbar MUST be turned off?
I ask in jest, because in the example I cited (Where I said the store is a couple of blocks down the street and I didn't grab the hand and say "let me lead you to it") I said that one could create a variable, set the variable then create an Advanced Action to check the value of the variable and only allow entry to the slide if the variable contains a value that allows entry.
In that case I should not need to turn off the playbar, no? Because the only way I can view the slide is if the variable is set to the expected value. Any other attempt should navigate me to the slide beyond that slide.
Cheers... Rick

Slide switcher appearing without request

I am using Keynote note to give my lectures, with the presenter display on my macbook and the slide being shown on the projector and I control the presentation with a remote (Kensington). Since a few weeks, I have the slide switcher showing up without me pressing any of the usual keystrokes to invoke it (+, -, =). I can't figure out what causes the switcher to show up, but whenver it does I have to walk to the laptop and press escape to get rid of it. Does anybody know what else, outside of key strokes, could trigger the switcher to display?

If you're running in Mirrored mode, you can't get rid of the slide switcher. If you run in dual screen mode where you have the presenter screen on your laptop, the slide switcher shows up on the laptop screen and NOT the projector screen.

Using iPad 2 - if i use the slide switch to lock rotation, i cannot unlock rotation, unless i use it to mute sounds. i can't therefore have unmuted sounds and unlocked rotation at the same time??

Uh .... Yes you can. You just have to understand how the whole thing works.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

N97 Slide switch doesn't always turn on the back l...

New N97, when I lock the phone and try to unlock it, the back light doesn't always turn on. I have to slide the switch two or 4 more times to get the back light to turn on.

@Igkahn1
when the phone is lock then unlocked the light light doesnt come back on and anything u press doesnt turn it back on but the slider to lock and reunlock.
Example If it lock my n07 wait 10 seconds (or until end and send lights go off) try to unlock the backlight wont come back on and while that backlight is off if i press the menu, open keybroad, any of the qwerty keys or even the power button the back light will still remain off. The only thing that seems to turn back on the backlight for me is locking then unlocking.
@everyone esle
Can anyone esle having this problem can confirm that while the back light off try menu, open keybroad, qwerty keys and power button to reactivate the backlight.

Hide Slide to Unlock

Hi,
I want to hide the 'Slide to unlock' text and the slider and its background. Any way?

Unfortunately there is no genuine solution for hiding the Slide to Unlock feature in the current version of iOS.

How to hide slides for a presentation?

I am going to give a presentation that needs to have some slides hidden but at the same time available if i wish to use them. The idea is to have an omitted slide with the possibility of using it while i am doing the presentation. In power point you han use hidden slides by pressing "H" while the presentation is running. Anyone knows how can i do this in keynote? Thank you very much

The following is from the Keynote Help manual:
To skip one or more slides:
Select the slide(s) in the slide navigator or light table view, and then choose Slide > Skip Slide.
Control-click the slide and choose Skip Slide.
To make a skipped slide visible in a slideshow, select it and then choose Slide > Don’t Skip Slide (or Control-click the slide and choose Don’t Skip Slide).
This presumes that you are working in the editing (preview) mode. Thus, you need to decide before your presentation whether or not you wish to be able to show a "skipped" slide. I do not think you can "unskip" a slide while in the presentation mode. Maybe someone else knows ??

5700 slide switch problem

ok i'm kinda new so bear with me, i have a 5700xm and i'm a bit more than carefree when it comes to using it, sooo...
i broke it now it needs a bit of love and care problem is i'm kinda lost as what i should:
the part that is *i think it's called 3310* that has two switches on it and it tells tha cellphone when you've twisted tha lower part is broken one of the two switches just broke and now the twist motion is pointless as it displays no more the camera, nothing.
it's as if i didn't even twisted the lower part of it.
i would really apreciate if someone with more intell on this problem could tell me where can i order the part.
thanks in advance

already done that the dummies opened the cellphone and said that they have absolutly no idea as what happened, later a week i opened the cellphone and found a 1,5mm black plastic part "glued" to one of the internal sponges that keep dust out, i rececked every part and finally found that it was missing from one of two switches that, activate camera and music mode, i went with the part and they said that they can't find me that part, now i was hopping that someone knew somewhere i could email for it, it's troublesome to figth these windmills
