Keeping Keynote from Taking Both Screens

I have an iMac (early 2009, w/Yosemite), and a separate monitor.  I want to display my Keynote (version 6.5.2) presentation on the separate monitor and keep control of my iMac screen for running another program.  However, once I start the Keynote presentation, the iMac screen is automatically taken over by the Presenter's slides function of Keynote.
I do not need the presenter to show on the iMac.  I have our weekly church announcements scrolling as a Keynote presentation on the external monitor, and need to use the iMac screen from controlling our live stream broadcast.
Is there a way to keep Keynote running on the external monitor and not take over the iMac screen?
Thanks for any information..

You could export the Keynote announcement loop as a QuickTime movie, and use QuickTime Player in the second display to show the loop.
Set up your presentation as normal, and then export it as a self-playing QuickTime movie. Open the file in QuickTime Player, drag it to your second display, and set it to Loop (Menu View:Loop or Opt-Cmnd-L). Make it full screen and you are off to the races
Two draw backs
1) Complicated (i.e. lots of transitions and animations) presentations make for very large QuickTime files (I created a 4 slide file, text only, with an animation on each slide and a transition between each: the Keynote file was under 500KB, the QuickTime video was 8.2 MB; you might be able to optimize that a bit by playing with resolution and minimizing animations).
2) Depending on your computer's processing power and RAM, QuickTime movies can be processor intensive to run - playback may be impacted if you are running other apps in the background.

  • Safari how to keep from taking whole screen

    I've been using Safari without a problem and now it started to take over my whole screen. How can I get back my Safari menus as the default setting -- I know I can get it at the top left corner. How can I make Safari not take over the whole screen??

    Hope this works.
    Move the mouse pointer to the bottom right corner of the window.
    When directional double arrow appears drag it inwards.
    The Safari window will become smaller. Adjust the window to fit the need.
    Toolbars will be visible now.
    Best.

  • Imac keeps rebooting from spinning gear screen

    I'm trying to turn on my iMac. It makes the chime sound, then gets the Apple logo and spinning gear. The gear spins for a while, and I can hear the processor doing something. Then it goes silent and reboots, and the whole process starts itself over.  Any suggestions?

    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.

  • How do I keep TB from taking up excessive space on my hard drive?

    My TB "All Mail" folder is using 24GB (versus only 4GB in Gmail). I can't find any NSTMP files to delete under imap.googlemail.com or anywhere else. Under imap.google.com there are only two folders -- [Gmail].sbd and INBOX.std. The latter folder is empty. Suggestions?

    Which file(s) in your profile is/are the large one(s) then?
    I don't think it makes much sense to subscribe to 'All Mail'. So if you don't really need it, you could simply unsubscribe from 'All Mail'.
    When did you compact folders the last time?

  • 180Gb keeps going from start up screen to black, over and over

    I lost my used 180 GB classic for almost 6 months (turns out it was in my PJ drawer, who knew) and just now found it. I charged it for several hours and it was working great- Used it for a couple days...and then today I was playing one of the games, exited it, when to play a song, and it froze and shut off, showing me the Apple start up screen. I thought it was just randomly rebooting itself (my phone does that all the time), but instead it showed the apple screen for maybe 10 seconds, then went black, then went back to the apple screen, then black. It has literally been doing this for hours, no amount of resetting will change it- when I plug it into the computer all that happens is the backlight goes off and the apple screen just stays up. I can hear it humming and working really hard but...is there something else I can do??

    Hi, welcome to Apple Discussions.
    As soon as the Apple logo appears hold down Select and Play. This should put the device in disk mode. You can then connect it to your computer and restore it.

  • SXCE snv_114 SRSS 4.1 multihead maximize across both screens

    I have been running snv_104 for some time and several versions prior with success using SRSS 4.1.
    This is a home setup (mostly to keep me current on Solaris, which we use at work).
    Several attempts at upgrading past 104 have caused SRSS to quit working, but today I found [bug 6799655|http://bugs.opensolaris.org/view_bug.do?bug_id=6799655] , which claims to be fixed as of 110, but still is a problem in 114. At any rate, the workaround works and now SRSS is functioning.
    The setup is an Acer laptop, 4GB RAM, dual-core 1.6 GHz Turion driving 3 desks, each having two Sunray 1 (earliest model) appliances. Most displays are 1280x1024.
    After the upgrade to 114, the maximize button on any window maximizes it across BOTH screens, rendering the maximize function useless. Otherwise, all works as expected.
    Output from utxconfig.
    bash-3.2$ /opt/SUNWut/bin/utxconfig -lv
    DIMENSIONS=auto (default)
    ENABLE_PSEUDOCOLOR_VISUAL=no (default)
    DEFAULT_PSEUDOCOLOR_VISUAL=no (default)

    Any suggestions on how to keep maximize from spanning both monitors?
    Thanks in advance,

    This is probably bug 6825001, "Xinerama primary display setting seems no longer be honored by GNOME/GTK+ applications". It's supposed to be fixed in snv_115.

  • My iPad keeps reverting to the home screen, both from Safari and Mail. ???

    My iPad keeps reverting to the home screen from Safari and Mail. ???

    Have you tried closing the two apps completely ? From the home screen (i.e. not with Safari or Mail 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari and Mail apps to close them, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

    Mine doesn't show anything in the CSS Designer panel when I make a selection in Code Vew. It will only pop up the css set for a given element if I select that element in Design View first. If I drill down using the Sources and Selectors sub windows in the CSS Designer panel itself, it works the same in both. I pretty much never use it, but it doesn't do what you're explaining in my version of DWCC, so I'd guess you may have some slight corruption in the program.
    Unless, does it make a difference if you have Live View turned on or not?
    You could try clearing the program cache/personal config folder: Deleting a corrupted cache file
    Or restoring preferences if the cache doesn't do the trick: Restore preferences | Dreamweaver CS4, CS5, CS5.5, CS6http://helpx.adobe.com/dreamweaver/kb/restore-preferences-dreamweaver-cs4-cs5.html

  • Why does Calendar keep reverting from full screen each time I exit the app?

    I'm using a 2014 Macbook Air. It's running Yosemite.
    Why does Calendar keep reverting from full screen each time I exit the app?
    On my older Macbook at work, calendar stays full screen whether I exit the app or restart the computer (similar to Mail - which is staying in full screen on both computers).
    Please help me adjust settings so I don't have to keep putting Calendar into full screen.

    Please help me out as this is very irritating. This has been happening for the last 20-30 minutes. It had roughly half battery left.

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    If you are stuck in that loop, the next step would be to restore your iPhone. Check out the article below to get your iPhone into recovery-mode and restore it in iTunes.

    Did you try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data by resetting, but it can clear some glitches.
