drag and drop the sound file from a Finder window into a slide to play only on that slide,
or to play over multiple slides, drop the sound file into the image well in; Inspector > Document > Audio

Your steps so far are OK but you may want to try:
1 Trash your user library Caches folder (House Icon with short name in Finder window (hard drive window)GOTO:House icon > Library folder > caches folder
2 Trash the com.apple.Safari.plist file in User library > preferences folder > Safari.plist as well as removing the library Safari folder its self.
3 you can selectivly re-install Safari 2.0 from your OS Tiger Install disk 1, (see Knowledge base article 301229 for how to just select the Safari Application) without doing a complete system Archive and Install.
4. Create a new Test user account on the system and test how Safari responds in the Test user, see if its a user related issue and not system issue.
5. Still no Safari response? have to do an Archive and install (not preserving user and network settings)article 107120
PS. Issue may be related to actual internet connection connectivity, power cycle cable modem and router or airport if using one as well as the computer(keep unplugged for 3-5 min) and plug the cable modem in and then the router/airport then power on the computer. Do the Airport Admin utiliy (applications, utilities on HD_1)update.
- do a hard reset of airport knowledge base article 108044(Express base) and 107451 (Extreme base)
- Check with internet provider for connection issues "cannot find server" ect.

Anyone know how to make vertical text in a table in keynote?

anyone know how to make vertical text in a table in keynote?

Just to add a bit more about this question. I have seen in other related questions that this feature (vertical text) is not available in (apparently) the whole iWork09. someone even said that it should be asked to the developers, so they include this feature in iWork10. I find this issue a bit sad. This feature has been present in msOffice since a while, and at least for me, this is quite important for my work. It is also apparently not possible to have different page orientation in the same document, meaning portrait and landscape, so one can have wide tables in a whole page, for example. If this is true, it is again sad, and I just cannot understand why such a basic feature is not available in an already 09 version. I am using only the trial version of iWork, but already in the first day I have discovered that I actually cannot do what I was used to. Again sadly I (and many others I guess) will have to stick to Office until the mac software is fully developed.

How to make keynote images full screen?

Question: how to make keynote images full screen? I just noticed. after many successful full screen shows with Keynote 09 5.1.1 that I am no longer seeing the show full screen, at 1280, but only using the center part of my macbook pro 13 inch screen (which will mirror just like that on the projection screen, as far as I know). Did I hit a setting I do not know about to keep the images so small?
Thanks

Recording Narration for Keynote?

According to the KN User Manual, each KN slide can be narrated with an audio file so that the audio plays for that one slide only and stops when that slide leaves the screen. But the user manual does not say how to record this narration. Is there a way to record narration, one slide at a time, using a UBS mic, directly into Keynote as I'm building the presentation?
Right now.... my procedure is to export the KN, no audio, presentation as a QT movie: DV NTSC Low Quality compression, at 8fps. (Any other frame rate and the QT movie is not the same length as the Keynote Presentation. I made a one minute test of this and only changed the frame rate settings. 8fps gave me a 1:00 QT movie, but 29.97fps gave me :58. Over time, this two second loss can really add up!)
I then imported that low video quality QT into Final Cut and used the voice over tool and a USB mic to record narration as each slide rolled by. I then exported just the audio track, since the video was just there as a low quality guide, and I then put that audio track in iTunes.
I then went back to the original high quality Keynote presentation and dropped the narration track into the first slide with the media option. For at least the one minute test, everything was in sync through ten different slides.
Is there an easier way for me to get narration into a Keynote presentation?
Thanks, Steve

Thanks Richard,
I did what you suggested, but instead of using QT pro, I used SoundStudio, which will also allow me to record through a USB mic. I then added an audio file to each individual slide. I did this for a ten slide test, but for my wife's 100 slide presentation I can see how that would take up a lot of time!
Still, your system of audio files (builds) added to each slide worked fine although I'm still testing out the refinements. It seems that once the audio is on the slide, the preference is towards the audio. By that I mean if you have a 12 second slide and you add 14 seconds of audio then the slide will stay on for at least 14 seconds before it makes a transition. Even though you may have set the slide to transition after 12 seconds. The audio won't get cut off. The other thing I see is that after the audio stops playing, there's too much of a delay before the transition kicks in.
I'll have to look into that.
The other route I took was making a Keynote presentation, exporting it as a low quality QT self playing movie, importing that movie into Final Cut Express, adding voiceover to the total running time of the presentation, and then exporting just the audio track as an aiff auido file. I then took that aiff audio file, went back to the high quality Keynote and dropped that track into the audio well to sync up with the first slide. All worked well with everything in sync, in Keynote. I then exported both audio and video as a QT movie and the audio fell out of sync. After 60 seconds the audio ended up 2 seconds longer than the video. Over time this could kill the project.
So..... if I have to do a lot of narration on slides I might buy QT Pro and drop the audio in as build objects for each slide. Hopefully I can work the other timing bugs out.
Any idea what went wrong with the sync when I exported a QT movie out of Keynote?

How to make iPod touch to have dual-video-out (device & TV)?

I have been looking for a way to do this and maybe someone out there knows how to make and iPod touch do it!?
I want what *Steve Jobs* did during the *last keynote* = using the iPod touch and at the same time showing that on a video screen.
For my company I need a device with these capabilities:
Must-have
- Touchscreen
- Dual Video (Display + AV-out simultaneously)
- AV out (S-Video not DVI)
- 12 - 24 volts (in-car voltage)
- DRM Win or AAC
Dual video means that I can choose the files/pics/vids on the iPod Touch screen, and at the same time show the same image simultaneously through video-out on TV.
Current configurations of the iPod Touch only allows one or the other.
NB: There is no other device that can do it. Tablet PCs have no video-out, Archos/PSP et al have the same restrictions as iPods do.

any ideas anyone?
come on guys 'n girls

When I narrate my keynote presentation, why is the file size so huge?

When I narrate my keynote presentation, why is the file size so huge?

Here are the steps so you can see all the files that make up your Keynote…
Go to the Finder and find your Keynote file and make sure that it has the .key extension on it. If it doesn't, click it and command i to view info and uncheck the box that says Hide Extension.
Delete the .key and change to .zip and then click the use .zip in the dialog box that comes up
Double click the new .zip file and it will change it to a folder
Open the folder there are the files
Close the folder and add .key to the end of the name and click Add in the dialog box (this will change it back to a Keynote file)
You might be able to do this and convert the voice narration to a smaller format.

How To Make File Association Changes Permenant

I'm having a problem with file associations reverting back every time I turn of my computer.
I'm using Finder "change all" function to change the file association. It works until I turn off my computer. Once rebooted file associations return.
It's a real hassle. For some reason MP4 files keep getting associated with Windows media player. Everytime I try to open one, parallalels loads up windows.
Any advise?

How can I keep timing in Keynote consistent before burning?

How can I keep timing in Keynote consistent before burning? And also, is there a way to preview the show,say halfway through it, without the music starting at the beginning. This solution would save a lot of hours of prep before that final burn?

I do tons of presentations and know exactly what you are talking about. I have experienced presentations that (I know this sounds illogical) seem to get a little out of sync depending on the projector I am using for the presentation.
I know this is not a great soulution but it might help a little. With 325 pictures make 3 presentations and link them together. This is not pretty but may help some. This way you have 3 specific points to start and edit from and won't experience as much of a domino effect if one is off.
If you are just using pictures and want a fairly automated presentation you might also think of using iMovie where you can have a little more flexibility with the soundtrack and timing. If you use iMovie you can edit each picture individually as far as time and still be able to see where you are in the soundtrack in one "big picture" no pun intended.
Keynote is awesome in most things but there are a few that are still very quirky.
Hope this helps at least some.

How to make presentation's sections names appear in header?

In header I would like to put sections names (say Aim, Experiment, Results, Conclusion) of my talk. The idea is when I am on "Experiment" section's slides, all these names appear, say horizontally and only "Experiment" is visible while the other headings should blur or fade?.
So the question is:
How to break the presentation in sections or subsections?
How to make Keynote manage relevant section headings i.e. fading out irrelevant headings, colours, fonts
Of course I can write the names manually and for each slide do the necessay changes to the header. but lets face it: for 25+ slides this toturous.
I know probably I would have to reedit some master slides or this there any coding to be done?
I know this kind of things is rather simple in Beamer.
I would really welcome any bit of help. !!

this is a popular straightforward and quick thing to do, its all set up manually
It took me less than two minutes to create 40 slides as you describe:
duplicate the blank master slide 4 times
create 4 text boxes on one of the duped masters with your titles using gray text, paste these into the 3 other dup master slides
change the text colour to orange of one text box in each of the new masters, so you have a different highlight colour in each master
create as many new slides as you need then add one the 4 master layouts to a selection of the working slides
obviouly use colours and layout to suit your needs
when you need a new slide, just apply one of the master slide layouts
