Keynote with a Projector...

I'm giving presentations to a group using Keynote and a projector. Is there a way to show the presentations without the audience seeing the Keynote files screen? The easy fix would be to put them all into a single presentation but I need the flexibility to change up the order if needed, so I need them in separate files. It's not very professional for the audience to see what's going on in the background.
I am open to the idea of using a different app. I'm new to the Apple environment and don't know what solutions might be available.
Any advice would be welcome.

Most projectors display a logo when there are in a sleep mode, some let you substitute your own logo.
There is no way to do what you want with the iPad.

Best set up for Keynote with host projectors.

I'm a presenter that's made the switch from PowerPoint /PC to Keynote. Heading out on the road for the first time with my MacBook / Keynote presentation and facing 8 different host projectors. I don't expect to find many DVI projectors. But I'm bringing an mini DVI to DVI adapter, in case I do. I also will bring a mini DVI to VGA adapter. I'm running a 2GHz Macbook with 2 GB SDRAM.
I'm was comfortable making connections with my old PC with host projectors, but I'm anxious about what problems might arise connecting with my Mac.
Any tips on getting set up and settings right and minimizing problems for display.

Welcome to the world of the "road warriors."
The best procedure is to connect the projector to the computer (via whatever cables and adaptors are required) and then boot-up the computer. After this is complete, turn-on the projector.
When it has warmed-up, go to System Preferences / Displays menu and click the Detect Displays button. This should select the proper settings for both your computer display and the projector. If not, you may need to find the right setting for the projector by "trial and error." (You also may need to fiddle with some of the projector's own controls.)
Once this is done, go to the Keynote / Preferences / Slideshow menu and check the button that says "Present on Secondary Display." This will direct the slideshow presentation to the projector and the Presenter Display to your computer screen (see below). Feel free to check any of the other boxes that you feel are appropriate. (I recommend checking all of the square boxes.)
Finally, go to the Keynote / Preferences / Presenter Display menu and check ALL of the boxes. (You can choose whether the timer counts up or down as you wish.) This will put the Presenter Information onto your computer screen and show you a lot of very helpful information while you are playing your presentation.
Finally, you can adjust the position and organization of the Presenter Display if you click the Enter Presenter Layout button.
One more hint: Google the phrase "test patterns." This should bring-up a list of various TV test patterns. Find one you like and copy it into your slideshow as the first slide. Use this BEFORE THE AUDIENCE ARRIVES to adjust the projector's image and focus. Then advance to the first real slide of your presentation and you are ready to go.
Good luck.

VGA Adapter not working with a projector at work

Hello,
I've been preparing some presentations (the first one in less than 2 hours!!!) using my Mackbookpro, then transfer them onto my ipad, where I retouched them so they would look better.
I tested the VGA adaptor at work with my LCD TV.. it worked. Then at work I used a pc monitor, it worked.
but went to the meetings room, plugged in the projector and nothing happened. the iPad doesn't seem to be recognising it. There no video out, in keynote the play button doesn't appear within a square like it should.
Is there anything I can do?
Apple should put a control panel to handle the VGA out

Assuming you are using this:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC552ZM/B/apple-vga-adapter
If you are using this:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC748ZM/A/apple-composite-av-cable
Then it won't.
Have you tried resetting the iPad? Hold down the Power/Sleep and Home buttons until the Apple Logo Appears. This shoudl reboot the iPad. Then, with the projector on, try to connect the VGA adapter to the iPad.

Keynote not recognizing projector

Keynote 3 does not recognize my Epson projector. Using keynote 2 I merely plugged in and could show my slides with no difficulty. With Keynote 3 I get nothing but a blank screen. I have tried all the different Preferences settings. I get the same results trying to project through my home TV set. What am I not doing?
eMac Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Thanks. I have checked everything in the OS X and everything is OK. I can project Keynote through my TV set, so the problem has been with the projector - I should have started there. I needed to re-select my computer as the input source. Thanks again.

Keynote with Iphone.

Can you use bluetooth to control iPad (Keynote) with your iPhone? It works perfect on wifi but I do not always have that. If so, how? Is there a remote that would work?
Thanks

I would expect that this is possible, given that it may be connected to a LCD display, and this was done at Apple's SDK Roadmap presentation recently.
Settings>IPod>TV out may be a way to do this, but I'm not sure. perhaps other posters have tried it and can advise more.
This from Microsoft in November:
+“Getting presentations from PowerPoint 2008 for Mac to your iPod or iPhone is easy. PowerPoint exports your presentation as a series of pictures directly to iPhoto, or saves those same slide images as pictures to your Pictures folder. From there, sync pictures to your iPod or iPhone through iTunes as usual, then use the built-in Photos or slide show program on your iPod or iPhone to show your presentation. No sweat!+
+“Presentations look great on the big wide screens of iPhone and iPod Touch, but they look even better on a big screen TV or projected. Plug your iPod into a television or projector using the Apple Component AV or Composite AV cable and leave your laptop in the case.”+

You can connect via a cable or wireless using an Apple TV.

Canot email in pdf from pages + keynote with iPad air

I can't email à document in PDF from pages and keynote with iPad air. I reset the iPad an it don't work

Can you mail the files in any other format at all? Did you try emailing a Pages file as a Pages file or as a Word doc?
OK. My response was too late. If you can email them in another format, I don't see how the problem could be with the mail app, but I suppose it's possible anyway. I know that you restored the iPad, and this should help, but try resetting all settings.
Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings. No data will be lost but all of your settings will have to be entered again.

Interface freeze issue with Flash Projector

I am facing an interface freeze issue with Flash Projector running a flex state based application. A Flash Projector exe was generated from a standalone flash player ver 10.2. The target machine on which the problem occuresd has 10.3.
Basically "screen freeze" means that the user interface is running as usual on Flash Player, but it's not responding to any user input (like button presses). But if we alt-tab to another application, the state changes in the Flash player. There is display with buttons on the screen, but touching the buttons or doing anything else - it did not respond. Rebooting the computer fixes the problem.
Can you suggest why this is happening? Is there any known bug in Flash Player.
The problem is this is being hard to reproduce on the developer workstation as it doesn't happen always. But it happens quite often on the target machine running an Intel Atom N270. What debugging steps can you suggest?
Problem Description : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z25oV9QWRyk

First, thanks for the video. Having this always makes it much easier to understand the problem. A couple of recommendations. First, if you feel like this might be a player bug, please add a new bug report over at bugbase.adobe.com and if possible please include any sample code or swf's that can help us reproduce the problem internally. Linking the video would also be great. In addition, would you mind reposting this question over on the Flash Professional forums? This forum is primarily for end users, the Pro forums will get you in touch with a wider developer audience who might have additional feedback.
Thanks,
Chris

Yes. You'll need to get the proper adaptor, VGA or HDMI (depending on your projector) or connect wirelessly through an Apple TV connected to your projector.

Keynote with embedded .mov exported to Quicktime and then WMV (Flip4Mac)

Hi,
I have a Keynote with an embedded .mov file (video and audio) half way through which exports to Quicktime fine ("Keynote .mov").
When I use Flip4Mac to convert the Keynote .mov to WMV the resulting WMV file works fine but stops when the audio of the Keynote .mov stops i.e. Flip4Mac doesn't render the last of the Keynote .mov
I have sought help over at Flip4Mac tech support forum but thought someone here might know the answer.
I have tried a variety of different .mov files in my Keynote but the same in all cases: export to QT is fine but Flip4Mac stops converting the Keynote .mov at the end of any audio.
I can extract the audio track and Flip4Mac will convert the Keynote .mov (video) all the way through.
Help?

what format are the movies you placed on your slides? This makes a big difference in if they get included in the exported QT movie.

I'm afraid this is by design.
You cannot Airplay Mirror a DVD using DVD Player - Apple block screen mirroring of certain image data which might be protected.
I've a funny feeling Airplay mirroring can potentially be interecpted and decoded so someone could potentially copy the video stream (which would be poorer than DVD anyway).
Try VLC Player:

Trackpad cursor gets jumpy with external projector...

I have a circa 2010 MacBook. I have been using it for 3 years with various problems here and there, but I just can't figure this one out.
I am a teacher, and I moved to a new classroom this year. The room has an overhead projector, Epson, and I hook it up to my mac through the minidisplay adapter (same style as Thunderbolt).
I have been using external monitors and projectors with this machine and they have worked fine. But with this projector on this day, every time I plug in and turn it on, the cursor gets all buggy and starts flying all over the place. If I plug in with the projector off, it's fine. If I plug into my external monitor, it works fine. It's just this particular projector in this room.
I have restarted the computer, and I still have this problem. Not sure what else to do. It's not a trackpad issue... it's only with this projector. Thanks!

...it should say 4 GB of RAM of course...
