Need help with working in the background while doing a presentation

Hi guys,
I wanted to know if my MBP had a way to let me do a presentation, where on my screen I could tell it to present what I wanted it to present rather than showing every single move that I would make. If for instance, I were to open an app for looking up something to present, I wouldn't want people to see that action, but rather the things that I would put on a special window or virtual place created just for that.
Maybe there's an app that will let me do this? What happens to me know is that when I connect the MBP to the data show presenter, everything I do gets displayed on the big screen on the wall. I want to work in the background without people seeing that. Please help. Thanks.

The system software makes it about as easy as possible. Press fn+F7 (the pictographic mnemonic on the F7 kety is two overlapping rectangles). This will toggle the display mode between mirroring (same image on internal and external display) and spanning (each display independently contributing to the total viewable area).
As a bonus when using Keynote (the presentation software from iWork) in a dual-screen configuration, you get one display showing the presentation and the other showing you context (the upcoming slide) and a timer. Check out the demo included with you MacBook.

  • Need help with Page Layout and Background Scaling

    hello, everyone.
    I am in the process of designing a new website for myself,
    and while I was researching nicely designed pages to use as
    inspiration, I stumbled upon this site:
    http://www.jeffsarmiento.com/
    obviously, the design is very impressive, but it also
    incorporates a lot of web mechanics that I have been trying to
    figure out, so I will use this page as an example.
    one thing I need help with is backgrounds. as you can see in
    the posted website, the creator used a seamlessly tiled paper
    texture to display the bulk of his content on. also make not of the
    pattern that is located to the left of the paper texture. how do I
    create seamless backgrounds like this that will scale to fit any
    amount of content or any resolution? I can't imagine that the guy
    that made that site created a new size background every time he
    made an update, so there has to be an easier way.
    the second thing that I am having trouble with is general
    site layout. I have read that most sites used series of invisible
    tables to organize there content, but when I open the source of
    this page in dreamweaver, he was using something different. div
    tags? should I be using these? who do I use them? are there any
    general layout tips that someone could pass on to me? perhaps a
    link to a good tutorial?
    please help me. i am very confused.
    thanks so much.

    IMO not a good site to emulate. To wit:
    Top background image:
    http://www.jeffsarmiento.com/images/bg-top.jpg;
    745px
    x 350px 137K
    Main background image:
    http://www.jeffsarmiento.com/images/bg-tile.jpg;
    745px x 950px 130K
    Total page size: 454K (Check here:
    www.websiteoptimization.com)
    Website usability experts routinely recommend a maximum page
    size of ~80K
    Check out the We We Scale @ www.FutureNowInc.com/wewe/ where
    they suggest,
    "You speak about yourself approximately 0,003 times as often
    as you speak
    about your customers. Might that have an impact on your
    effectiveness?"
    That is 100% consistent with the #1 Web Design mistake:
    "Believing people
    care about you and your web site." or to phrase more
    expansively, "Our site
    tries to tell you how wonderful we are as a company, but not
    how we're going
    to solve your problems."
    www.sitepoint.com has some excellent books on making a
    website actually
    attractive and usable at the same time.

  • RVS4000: Need help with out-of-the-box device

    The router is performing very badly.
    1. Router's "INTERNET" is connected to ADSL cable modem, providing automatically an IP address.
    2. The device is getting "freezed"/"stoned" very often. The longest time record for up-time was just over 1 hour. The shortest up-time was somewhere over 2 minutes.
    3. When "freezed" the router:
        a. Still can perform as a switch
        b. No access to WAN
        c. No ping to the router
        d. Green indication lamps.
        e. No access to the web-interface
    4. Same behavior with 1.3.0.5, 1.3.1.0 and 1.3.2.0 firmwares
    5. Sometimes after "Restore to factory defaults" DIAG-RED led is lit, and does not go off.
    6. To get device back helps to power-off it for an hour or two.
    Is it possible to get any information from the router, when it is "freezed"

    Pavel Kopylov,
    It look like we got out of sync. I see you just sent another reply about opening the box Friday.
    With it only being Friday, I would take it back to the store I bought it from and get another. The same or better.
    ======================================================================
    If you want to use this as a learning experiance and figure out this problem yourself, then the following maybe for you:
    In all of your communications. I hear you saying your RVS-4000 freezes and will not communicate. No in or out of data. Is that correct?
    You are also saying, these freezes occur at various times. Correct?
    Which I hope this means is that it is working until it stops working...
    If that is correct. Then you need to figure out if the problem is coming in over your WAN connection or it's the hardware of the Router itself.
    If you think it's the hardware of the Router. Then do things like measure the temperatures of the Router. (Carefully) Try to heat it or cool it to see if this makes it fail, quicker... Check the Voltage to this Router and make sure it's correct and you are not getting Black outs or brownouts, etc... Also check for lose data connectors. (Watch the lights on the front panel)
    However, If you think this is from a TCP/UDP attack on your Router. Then you can place a HUB between your Router and the Cable/DSL Modem and the Router. Next plug in a PC into the same HUB and run Network Software Monitoring on this PC in Continues Record mode. Until a failure. Then go thru the Data and see what you find.
    There are a few free Network Software Monitoring Tools you can find and download. Even Microsoft has a nice one for free. Microsoft Network Monitor 3.x
    You can also buy another Router. The same or better and if you have the same kind of problems. Then it just might be coming in over your connection. And the new Router can then be returned as its still new.
    You can call Cisco and or your local ISP and work with them on this problem.
    These are just a few Ideas... I'm sure others will have even more.

  • I need help with problems after the April 2015 update

    In December 2015 I purchased an LG G3. It started out great. Then often people couldn't hear me..sometimes with the speaker on, sometimes with it off, sometimes on bluetooth with my car,.or my voice faded in and out, or sounded muffled or garbled.  After over a month of these frequent audio problems and several calls to Verizon during which they boosted my signal and guided me through a factory reset which took all of my photos out of their albums, the final suggestion a few days ago (April 21, 2015) was to download the new software update. I did and I'm not happy with some of the changes e.g. I wish I could have the old  home touch buttons back,The jury is still out on sounds quality, but now I have two new annoying problems.
    The first is that my car and phone used to bluetooth (connect) as soon as I put my engine on. Now, every time I get in my car I have to go into settings and give the phone permission to have other devices find my phone. Then after one or two tries the bluetooth eventually connects them. I am a Realtor and I need my phone and car to connect automatically every time I get in. I can give the phone permission to connect for up to an hour, but then it goes off. How do I get the opton to stay on?
    The second is that I often turn my data off, and I used to do it from the notification panel that I can pull down. I just pulled it down and tapped "data" and the light would go off if the data was off and on if it was on.  Now when I tap "data" I can turn it on or off, but the data button stays lit so when the data is off the light is still on. No more quickly glancing to see the data status...I have to tap it and read the notice to find out. Yes, 3G or 4G light up in tiny letters at the top, but data is the only button that stays lit when it is turned off.
    Am I missing the steps that would fix these issues?

    SiBIMe,
    I am sorry to hear of the issues with your device before and after the update. We want to restore the love back to your device. Please keep us posted on the audio issues to see if the update did assist with that issues.
    In regards to the two new problems, we want to make sure we get this worked out. Do you have issues with the device only auto connecting to your car or all bluetooths?  Do you receive and error message when the device doesn't auto connect and you attempt to connect manually but it fails? As for the data icon, when you tab on the data icon from the notification tab does the 4G actually disappear even thought the data icon is still lit?
    Please test your device in Safe mode and let us know if you still experience the same issues. Here is how to place the device in safe mode. http://vz.to/1owbN8K

  • Need help with PAGES in the document file will not open

    Hi if anyone can help me I woud appreciate it-
    I downlaoded awhile back the new software X and eveything was fine till I tried to open some documents (pages) and it will NOT OPEN a window pops up a newer version is available but when I go in there are NO UPDATES and I really do not think I need to buy a newer version do I?
    Please Help

    When you installed the latest version of Pages (and other iWork apps), the older versions were saved in a folder named "iWorks '09" in the Applications folder. You're trying to open a document that was saved in Pages 5 or in Pages for iOS using the older version of Pages. What you probably need to do is remove the Dock icon and drag Pages 5 into the Dock.

  • I need help with working with old newspaper photos. The photos need to be blown up and displayed on a traveling exhibit. Is there any training available for this?

    The photos are from newspapers going back to the early 1900s and they are now on microfilm. I can get them digitized at 600dpi but that still doesn't make them ready for placement on a large display. Besides Adobe help I use Lynda.com but I can't find anything dealing with this very specific topic. Anyone have an idea of a training program that deals with this subject?

    Thinking back to when I've seen displays of newsprint that's been greatly magnified, being able to see the halftone screen pattern seems important.  It gives the display a look of authenticity.
    You say the library can scan at 600 ppi.  If that's 600 ppi of a greatly reduced image on a piece of microfiche, it may not give you the resolution you're looking for, and it's entirely possible that getting a quality optical print then scanning it would give you better.
    I don't see how you can plan how to proceed in anything like specific detail if you don't have an image that represents what you're really going to be starting with in detail.  Perhaps getting one scan might be a good idea.
    After that, you just need to figure out what ppi your final overall panel design is going to be at, and upsample the newspaper clippings to match, so that they're the size you need them to be.

  • I need help with firmware for the MS-8348 [48x16x48x CDRW]

    Well, if Yall could help me I'd be happy.
    Ive a 900 Athlon with a pcChip mobo, and an MSI MS-8348 48x16x48x cd-RW drive. HD is primary Master, CD-rw secondary master.
    I run XP, but there is a large problem. when I try to install anything from CD, it crashes the system about 1/3 of the way through the install. Games like Sim City 3000 or NeverWinter Nights and such can't install.
    I was told that it was a firmware problem, and I needed to update it.
    How can I update, when i copy the two files included in the download to c:, run it, and it says my drive is not recognized? It told me to run in real DOS mode, but how can I get there in XP?
    Thank you for you help.

  • Need help with info about the possibility of altering images when saved in a different format

    I am very new to the design world.  I have a printing business and received and image to be printed in Adobe Acrobat (I think).  I needed to resize the image to be printed and took it into Photoshop CS6 where I cropped the edges.  I then resave it as a PDF and took into a printer software, Fiery.  Fiery has an Impose function where you can repeat an image to layout it on the correct paper size.  It essentially just copies the original image several times depending on the layout.  This particular image I repeated to 3 up and 1 across.  When printed it came out with a magenta streak through the center image only.  I have had the machine checked and they are adamant it's not a printer issue but a software issue.  That once I altered the original image by resizing it that I altered the image and that I can't expect it to come out as seen on the screen.  I've printed it all sorts of different ways and it only occurs with the 3 up 1 across image.  I know that images can be changed when saved from program to program but this situation does not make sense that it is only the one area and layout that this shows up. I would appreciate any help, input, answers that anyone has.  Again, I'm new to this and would like to understand if this is a potential for further printing jobs so that I can do what I need to avoid this situation. 
    Thank you for your time.

    Jessica,
    Without knowing how the original graphic was created it is hard to tell you how to handle it. What is the name of the file? (Only the file suffix is important). If the file's origin was in a drawing program and/Or InDesign, then the document should be handled differently if the document is a raster image best handled by a program like Photoshop.

  • I need help with safari, all the settings have changed

    some how my homepage setting keeps changing to some thing else even after i go to preferences and set it as the apple home page, also when i click on any thing at all while on the internet it automatically opens a new tab, with mackeeper adds or some thing like that, i can't even try to log on to some thing with out a new tab opening and i am not sure how to fix this.. can any one give me some advice please.

    Hi Richard,
    If my memory serves me right, Macromedia's Flash Player installer is quite idiosyncratic. You need close Safari (if it's open) and:
    Download the disk image (.dmg) from Macromedia,
    Open the disk image,
    Drag the FlashPlayer Installer to your Desktop and
    Double-click (run) the FlashPlayer Installer from your Desktop not from the disk image.
    Double-check with Macromedia's instructions as well...

  • Need Help With Work Group Wiki Page (404)

    I am somwhat of a novice with all this server stuff so I will try to explain....
    I have done a standard server install of OS X 10.5.6 Server on my Xserve. Everything seemed to work like a charm. The only problem I am having is when I select my home page to be my Workgroup Wiki page (inside the standard server prefences window). When I select this and try to test the page with the link under the drop down (open home page), it opens Safari and the header looks right but the page says "Not Found. 404: No group with that name (workgroup) hosted on this server).
    I have a Workgroup and then two other groups....print and interactive. I want people to be able to log-on and see the main work group wiki page and then be able to select to go to one of the other two groups. I have had this working before but had to reformat my hard drive and reinstall the OS.
    From the page that comes-up, I CAN click on the "groups" link in the header bar and that does take me to a working page, but I want to be able to have people go to this workgroup page first.
    Any help would be MUCH appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    If you have the original index.html file installed in the /Library/WebServer/Documents/ folder then your wikid server will use it to display the web service groups.
    If you have changed the index.html file or substituted a different index.html then wikid will not be able to perform its display action.
