IBook hooked up to Hitachi projector

I have a hitachi projection machine that I hook up my ibook to for the purpose of presentations. I use Keynote (iWork) which I love. However, I cannot get my screen to show the presenters notes, clock, etc. I go to the preferences of Keynote and make the selection but nothing changes. It is running as a dual output. Is there a way for my monitor on the ibook to have the speakers notes and not on the projector? I wasn't sure if this was an ibook or keynote question.
Thanks,
Randy

I'm afraid not. The video card in the iBook only runs in "mirror mode", meaning that the same thing is displayed on both the iBook screen and the external monitor/projector. The PowerBook will work in "dual monitor mode" where the presenter notes are displayed on the computer screen and the presentation itself is displayed on the projector.
Your best bet, if you rely on your presenter notes, is to print them out and put them somewhere inconspicuous.

I want to use an IPad (w/retina display-newest) in my church hooked up to a projector

I want to use an IPad (w/retina display-newest) in my church hooked up to a projector and shown on a screen. I'd like to do it wirelessly as the projector will be installed in the ceiling. I am not sure exactly what I would need to get this set up. I do not have wifi at church or cellular but would be getting the iPad (not yet purchased) with wifi only. If I use Apple TV to hook up the projector to, would it need wifi to work if I will only be using the ipad for documents, worksheets (much like what a school/professor would use) or other things that an app could do (draw a line, etc.)

Epson projectors have such a feature, so if you're going to buy a new projector, you might start with their units. The app is described here:
http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/jsp/Landing/ProjectorApp.do
and there's a projector compability list linked from the very bottom of the page. There may be other projector manufacturers with similar apps, but I don't know for sure. All will probably also require a local WiFi network set up, though said network should not need Internet access if that's an issue for you.
Regards.

IBook G4 use with a projector

I will be using my iBook G4 to give a powerpoint presentation via an overhead projector.
I have the little dongle that came with the iBook.
Do I just plug this into the projector and carry on as normal?
Or is there some special software or setting I need to run first?
Thx

nope just plug it in. and it just works. your ibook should have the software for it already. but if it doesnt it will just call it "VGA Display" and give you 3 resolution sizes 640X480, 800X600, and 1024X768. but if it finds the software then you will get the bigger resolution sizes. i have used an ibook g4 with projectors all the time. its just that the ibook will mirror your display(show whats on the ibook's screen and the projector). if you want Extended Desktop you will have to download the hack for it.

Keynote hook up to a projector and smart bord

Im a high school student and I am wondering how I can hook up my iPad to a smart bord or screen projector to use the keynotes application and do a presentation?

will this work
Yes, connect an CAT53 or CAT6 Ethernet cable from your Mac to one of the LAN <-> ports on the Time Capsule. Turn off the wireless on the Mac Mini and you are all set. Backups will occur at least 3-4 times faster than wireless, probably more.

Why doesn't my macbook air connect with Hitachi projector

I have a new Macbook air. I have developed a powerpoint presesentation and got the adapter to connect to projector - Hitachi-CPX4015WN.
ALas, Hitachi does not recognize my computer.

Hello redffox,
Congratulations on your new MacBook Air! I found an article with steps you can take to troubleshoot issues with external displays like your projector. This article is for internal and external displays, so you can skip any steps referring to the internal display. I recommend reviewing the section titled "No video or no signal, image distortion, 'snow,' or flickering" in the following article:
Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays

Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities.
Best,

I have an Apple TV hooked up to a projector, but would like to use the computer's speakers.

The iMac is hooked up to the amplifier, and is too far away for the atv to be plugged in as well. Any settings I can fiddle with?

If you wish to use home sharing then you need to setup the Apple TV under your ID.

Can I-pad 1 be hooked up to a projector

can I-pad 1 be connected to a projector?

Yes, but only apps that support video output (such as Keynote) will display. The iPad 1 cannot mirror its screen as can later models of iPad.

Hooking up an EPSON projector to my MBP

Help! how do i get my MBP to find this projector?

Posting the model number of your projector and how you're connecting (DVI, VGA, S-video, etc.) will probably help people help you.

Hooking up an external projector (Proxima desktop projector)

Greetings all you helpful folks.
Bought an adaptor (mini VGA video output) to connect my iMac to an external projector; so i can show an iMovie to lots of people at once.
The projector does not detect any input. Tried several settings. After reading one posting that sounded helpful, (set display to "mirror") the iMac does not offer this option. (I do see it on my PowerMac, but maybe that's just a 10.4 bonus)
Any thoughts? or better yet, experience?
Zep

Apple puts in the mirroring limitation in the i/e/mini Macs/books to encourage sales of the 'Power' Macs/Books which don't have the limitation.A nice German chap has posted a fix: Screen Spanning Doctor... it simply opens up the functionality that is already there. However, like the author - I can't take responsibility if it messes you system up (there have been no reports of that though - only good!).

Hook 11" macair to projector?

I need to use my 11" macbook air to project a slide show. I am renting the projector so I need to know what cables i can get to connect projector to either the thunderbolt connector or the usb3
i know i can convert to firewire and to ethernet with cable converters
are there any other options out there?

You'll need to find out what interfaces are available for the projector input. Then you need a MiniDisplay port to xxx adapter and a xxx cable. xxx could be HDMI, DVI, VGA. The MiniDisplay port adapter plugs into the Thunderbolt port.
Here's a sample of the MDP to HDMI adapter:

It could be the adapter. Apple sells one for $20 that I have used on a standard CRT with s-video and RCA connectors.

Connecting iBook G4 to projector

I want to connect an iBook G4 to an Epson projector. How do I do it? The projector has a blue multipin socket as standard and a plug in card, presumably for wireless networking. My Pogue manual does not mention projectors at all. I suspect I have to change the output from LCD screen to something else, but I can't find any way of doing this. Any help gratefully received

I can't believe this. This reply is actually in the manual, if I hadn't panicked at the sight of the connector! I am most grateful for the patient and factual manner of your reply. Best wishes, Terry

The one you're in now is for the G4 mini-tower so the hardware is quite a bit different.

Blueberry iBook and Epson projector..

I know this is similar to another post but my iBook is older and the projector is different. The only cord I can find (my brother donated this computer to my classroom) is a short 6" clear cord with what looks like a yellow A/V type end (female) and a round (male) pronged (sorry-can't think of what its called) end. Each ends says "out". Is there another cord??

Sorry but the Blueberry iBook does not have any type of video output. Therefore there is no way to connect it to a projector.

IBook to video projector

In the past I have connected my iBook G4 to a video projector with the video adapter cable using an RCA cord from the adapter to the "video in" of the projector. The projector automatically recognizes the input and it works.
The past two times I have tried to use the same set up, it will not work. The video is not recognized by the projector. It works fine with the VGA(?) connector, but we are using two laptops and one needs to be plugged in via the Video In port on the projector.
Am running 10.4.6. Don't know if any OSX software updates are the problem or not. (I only need to do this kind of connection occassionaly, so I don't really know when the problem began.)
Anyone have any ideas???
I've tried using an RCA to S video cord, but the projection is blurry.
Thanks

iBook G4, powerbook TiG4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

I used to have a similar problem with any mac on my last hospital, it was weird, because the macs (about 25-30% of residents used macs there) didn't worked with the projector, and the Hospital's Vaios did worked on the same setting without a problem.
Finally I was able to track down the problem to a faulty cable that somehow the vaios could use, and the Macs couldn't (it was all twisted and it was very old). When we replaced the cable, every mac (and of course, every other computer) worked again with that projector.
My point is, you should check with another VGA cable, before blaming the video adapter or the videoport of the computer.
Good luck.
