Keynote wouldn't work with the projector.

I prepared a keynote presentation, but when I hooked up to the projector it wouldn't "play".  I had to do my presentation from the working slides.  How can I fix this?

you need to give much more information and clarify what your doing.
what connections did you make between the projector and computer?
what computer are you using?
what exactly happened when trying to make it play?
does the Keynote play on your computer screen?
is the projector showing any image at all?
How did you make a presentation if Keynote did not play and what are these " working slides"?

  • Will the iphone 5 digital av adaptor (lightning to hdmi) work with the projector input on my new Sony PJ780VE Videocamera when I connect my iPhone 5 to it?

    Hello....I am new here...first posting.....I have recently bought an iphone 5 and also a new Sony PJ780VE camcorder but with a built in projector that allows external input. I am wondering if anyone knows whether the iphone 5 lightning to Digital AV (HDMI) adaptor will work with this Sony projector input okay if I go ahead and purchase the adaptor from Apple. The reason I ask is that I read on the net that Sony are announcing an adaptor for iphone 5 to allow this connection....at least that's my understanding of this....so do I need a proprietary Sony adaptor to facilitate this connection???

    i have the same problem but had nothing to do with an update, it worked christmas day charged overnight and didn't work the next day

  • Is there a way to predict which video projectors will not work with the 2012 MacBook Air using the Mini-display to VGA adapter?

    I recently upgraded from a 2011 MBA to a 2012 MBA due to the larger capacity SSD.  The 2011 MBA running Lion and Mountain Lion worked with every video projector for lectures.  The new 2012 MBA is hit or miss with video projectors.  It is not an adapter problem.  I have multiple Apple mini-display to VGA adapters with the latest firmware.  They all work just fine with the 2011 MBA. Re-starting the 2012 MBA with the adapter and projector connected has not helped.   
    It it not acceptable to have a laptop that works with projectors some of the time.  Apple is aware of the problem.  Is the only choice to go back to the 2011 MBA? 
    RC 

    I installed 10.8.2 update today with my 2012 MBA.  The details of the update include:  Resolves a video issue with some VGA projectors when connected to certain Mac notebooks.
    I tried using the MBA with a video projector and it found the correct resolution and connected with the projector automatically.  Using detect displays in the disoplay preference pane wasn't even necessary. 
    I hope this is the fix I have been waiting for with the 2012 MBA.
    Thank you Apple.

  • Does the Pocket Projector by Brookstone work with the iphone 5?

    Does the Pocket Projector by Brookstone work with the iphone 5 ?

    I have the Brookstone DLP Pico projector. I purchased it from EBay not too long ago. It worked before with the previous version of Apples iOS. I would view netflix, youtube, and videos.. I have an iphone4.
    Now with the latest update to ios7, tried it last evening with netflix and youtube, it does not work at all! This is rediculous, restricting access to something we had access to before

  • 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.

  • My computer is asking to update firefox. I want to know if this will automatically update to 4.0. I don't want 4.o because when I added it before it wouldn't work with a game I play.

    My computer is asking to update Firefox. How can I find out if this will update to 4.0? I don't want 4.0 because I did it before and it wouldn't work with a game I play. I want to update if necessary. What info do I need to provide to get an answer to this question?

    It should tell you what version it is trying to update to. There is an update to Firefox 3.6.16 available. If you prefer you can download and run the Firefox 3.6.16 installer available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

  • Is there a USB 3.0 Hub that really works with the Mac Mini?

    My Mac Mini's four USB 3.0 ports work fine with my four USB Seagate GoFlex 3.0 hard drives. The drives mount at startup, and perform at expected USB 3.0 speeds. But, when I connect the drives to a USB 3.0 HUB to free up the Mac's USB ports for other devices, typically two of the USB Seagate drives will mount at startup, but two won't. There's a fix for this: after startup, I simply disconnect AC power from the drives that didn't mount, and reconnect the power a few seconds later. Now all my drives are mounted, they perform properly, and other USB devices connected to other Mac Mini USB ports (a mouse, a USB midi interface) work just fine as well. It's annoying, though, to have to perform this extra disconnect-reconnect step every time. I've tried two different USB 3.0 HUBs -- one from Uspeed and one from Satechi -- and I have exactly the same problem with both. Question: Is anybody else experiencing the same thing with a late 2012 Mac Mini and a USB 3.0 Hub? Has anybody found a 3.0 Hub that doesn't have this issue with the Mac Mini?

    The USB 3.0 hub instability problems extend beyond the Mac-Mini, as addressed below.
    At long last we're seeing progress in getting 2012 Macs to work with USB 3.0 hubs. As discussed on this and other discussion groups I've had a horrible time with my MacBook Pro Retina  being unstable with USB 3.0 hubs. I know many of you have also or you wouldn't be reading this posting. 
    In June 2012 I bought one of the first 2012 MacBook Pro's with a Retina display. It's been a battle since with Apple selling what appears to be an incompatible or unstable system to effectively communicate with the USB 3.0 hubs. You'll see vendors now making comments that Apple is the source of the problem.
    I've been through USB 3.0 issues with two MacBook Pro Retina laptops. I've also tested a Uspeed hub, with 3 portable USB 3.0 drives connected, at the Apple Store. This was on a newer model MacBook Pro Retina, and also on a 27" iMac. All had instances where drives failed to mount during the short period allowed for testing. (Because of time constraints, we were unable to test at the Store for spontaneous and unprovoked unmounting of drives connected to the hub. These problems have existed since the beginning on my rMBP.)
    I am now on my 20th hub that has been purchased, or provided for testing. They varied from 4-Port to 10-Port powered hubs and involved 11 brand names. Comments were posted on Amazon, Tiger, and others for most of the ones purchased, and some that were tested. Some, like the HooToo specifically warned against use with Macs in the manufacturer's manual and, as I learned, for good reason. That was reflected in my comments for the drive on Amazon.
    The Plugable 7-Port USB 3.0 powered aluminum-finish hub that I have been testing since October 13 was provided  by Plugable after the first one, purchased through Amazon, was returned as unreliable. This 3rd, and newer generation Plugable hub uses the VIA VL812 chipset with the new version 90.81 firmware. My experience over the last 4+ weeks with this hub has been solid. While there have been problems with Eject errors, none were traced to the hub electronics. (Problems with intermittent connections at the cable connectors  appeared to be the cause of the disconnect errors. Almost all of the failures were traced to intermittent Micro-B connectors, but that's another story.)
    In addition to the greatly improved reliability of this hub, I find several features of this Plugable to be a plus including:
    The plug engages fully to the "hilt" when plugged into the hub giving a solid connection, as occurs on the MacBook Pro Retina USB 3.0 ports. Others hubs typically had a gap between the "hilt" of the connecting end, and the hub allowing for lateral movement. With some hubs this allowed for intermittent connections if the cable was disturbed.
    The on/off switch on the hub allows the hub to be powered down when not in use.
    The full size Type-B connectors on the cable at the hub end engage solidly. Hubs with Micro-B connectors have presented intermittent connections in the cable connector.
    The aluminum case looks attractive with Macs, IMO, but not a reason to buy.
    Overall, Plugable's support is the best I've encountered. I've found their response to questions to be prompt and thorough. This, coupled with their online support articles has put them at the top of my list. They provide news and information that I've not found with other hub vendors.
    The article titled "Plugable USB 3.0 7 Port Hub Firmware History" at the below link gives insight into the history of the problems that we've been having with the USB 3.0 hubs on Macs and the firmware updates, regardless of the brand of hub you have.  Apparently, if you have the VIA VL 812 chipset, firmware version 85.81, you're in safe territory.
    http://plugable.com/2013/10/30/plugable-usb-3-0-hub-firmware-upgrades2
    (One of the Plugable hubs appears identical to the black 7-Port Uspeed hub, and both use the VIA VL 812 chipset. They appear to be from the same manufacturer with the real difference appearing to be in the VL812 version of the firmware in the hub.)
    Some of the firmware can be upgraded, and some can't. Contact Plugable or Anker if you're affected.
    Uspeed has made improvements, but they were still unstable as of the last one I received for testing. In her last reply on 10/13/13 Sunnie with AnkerDirect Customer Support stated:
    Unfortunately, the new Firmware version (908x) does not work with the model "68UNHUB-B7U" you have. The hub bellow has much less complaints about Mac issue. We suggest that you order this one.
    http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009Z9M3DY
    AnkerDirect Customer Support
    Note that the above hub recommended by Anker has an 8th port just for charging iOS devices. Some will see this as a plus. However, the lack of such a port is not seen as a big problem. It's easy and relatively inexpensive to purchase extra 5V power adapters for charging, which is my preference. Plugging and unplugging devices on a hub that is powered "On" presents the potential for movement of the cables. This could interrupt a cable connection  and disconnect a drive during data transfer resulting in corrupted files. With 7 and 10 port hubs, and all the cables needed, this gets risky.
    I believe the USB 3.0 hub issues we're having are the result of poor design of the Mac's USB 3.0 implementation at the start. Unstable hubs that I've had a friend with Windows 7 test, said they "performed like a dream" on his PCs. This indicates the problem is with Macs, not the (twenty) hubs I've used.
    A statement from a support person dealing with USB 3.0 hubs tells what's I've long suspected: " -- the evidence is pointing to something specific to the Apple design (perhaps external to the chipset, like the signal re-driver….."
    If you're having USB 3.0 problems, be sure to let Apple know by sending in a Feedback comment to Apple at:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/ 
    I'm told they read and treat the feedback seriously (although the duration of this USB 3.0  problem makes me wonder if Mavericks and iOS 7 haven't had a higher priority and distracted from this. Microsoft got USB 3.0 right, how about it Apple?)

  • Can home sharing work with the ipad2?

    Does home sharing apply to the iPad2?  I'm looking for alternates to syncing since I am having trouble with syncing
    the device from my computer.  Itunes begins to freeze shortly after syncing begins-even the apple senior tech was confused?  Any ideas?

    It works with the first gen iPad, and I can see no reason why it wouldn't work on the second gen (there is info on how to enable home sharing here http://www.apple.com/itunes/inside-itunes/2011/03/itunes-102-and-ios-43-extend-h ome-sharing-playback-to-your-mobile-devices.html)

  • I have some expensive programs that work with windows, would they work with the Mac

    I have always had windows and I have some expensive programs that I like to work with and was wondering if they would work on the IMac.  I have been considering changing for years but someone said my programs wouldn't work with Mac.  I have IPods, IPad and IPhones, so I am a little familiar with Apple

    No, not unless you install Windows on the Mac.
    A Windows app needs Windows. An OS X app needs OS X.
    You can install and run Windows and Windows apps natively on an Intel Mac.

    Will the Stitchway UltraPower 1900 mAh Backup Battery Charger work with the Apple iPhone 4S?

    I see no reason why it shouldn't. At prices I've seen down to $4.39, I wouldn't hesitate to give it a try. That's cheaper than a sandwich!

  • Does anyone have drivers that will enable a Tascam US-144 (old model) to work with the latest version of Lion?

    Hi, does anyone have drivers that will enable a Tascam US-144 (old model) to work with the latest version of Lion? The drivers available on the manufacturer's download site are for a newer model and were not designed specifically to work with Lion. Does anyone have a tried and tested fix for this? Thank you.
    Message was edited by: john.rm

    Most likely you have Office 2004 which are PPC-only applications and will not work in Lion. Upgrade to Office 2011. Other alternatives are:
    Apple's iWork suite (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.)
    Open Office (Office 2007-like suite compatible with OS X.)
    NeoOffice (similar to Open Office.)
    LibreOffice (a new direction for the Open Office suite.)

  • Will Bootcamp work with the 3T fusion drive with the Mountain Lion update?

    The notes on the update say it will work with the 3T drive but in typical minimalist fashion, Apple doesn't mention whether that includes the 3T fusion drive.  Why can't they just explain things fully?
    anyway, does anyone have an answer?

  • What docking station works with the ipod touch 4th generation?

    What docking station is works with the ipod touch 4th generation?  We have a Bose docking station which I'm having trouble getting it to fit onto.

    Gal:
    I'm not exactly clear what your question is.
    How does the system you have been given not work with your iPod? What is the problem?
    What is your point about the 4th generation adaptor? The "adaptor" is merely a physical piece of plastic that sits in the Docking Station's dock and creates the exact shape for your model of iPod to fit snugly into it. So a 1st or 2nd generation iPod would not benefit in any way from a 4th gen adaptor.
    Are you trying to find a portable iPod Docking Station that works without mains power?
    You said: " the customer service agent said it would make the iPod fit, but it wouldn't charge or play music." What is your point about charging the iPod? I don't understand what you are trying to say. I presume that the system you've been given does charge a 1st and 2nd gen iPod.
    The product you linked to looks portable to me. So why does it not suit your needs, is this about using it out in the garden (my question 2)?
    Less complicated in what way? What exactly are you finding complicated? Simply place the iPod into the Docking Station and (presumably) select the iPod input and press play.
