Powerpoint to Keynote - presentation not filling screen

Hey folks,
i have just moved over to iWork and I am copying across some of my powerpoints. While opening them is not problem, I can't get them to fit the screen. They just fill up a small section in the middle. does any one have any ideas how I can make them full screen?
thanks

I have this same problem - I am trying to change over to keynote but want to keep using 5 years of worship powerpoint files! How do you get the presentation to fill the screen?

Hit something when editing presentation and now slides are all reduced in size and not filling screen. Preferences, scale to fit doesn't work. What did I do?

Keynote runs in full screen by default when you click the Play button in the toolbar. If you want the slides to fit the display area, check the box next to "Scale slides up to fit display" in Preferences...

Keynote presentations notes

I make simple presentations on my mbp then download them into my iPod Touch 4th gen for connection to a VGA TV. I use an iPad 2 with Keynote remote to control it. However, when I transfer the presentation from the mbp to the Touch I lose all the text formatting on my presentation notes. Is there a way to underline or bold text or change text color in the presentation notes that works on the Touch?

The Optomo projector pico mirrors exactly what is on my mac pro. Any help appreciated Thanks, George UK
Apple Menu > System Preferences > Displays > Arrangement: de-select the Mirror Displays checkbox
In Keynote 6.5.2 whilst in rehearse presentation mode there is now no switch screen button on the top right like there used to be.
Press the X key on the keyboard to swap presenter display with Presentation.

Keynote Presentations not opening on ios7--Helpful Hint

I went on Keynote today on my iPad ready to load a presentation--and found when I clicked it, many of my older presentations would not load. Some of the newer presentations loaded, but not older ones, after, of course, updating to ios7. This hint is for you if you have had your presentations stored in iCloud. After a little tinkering, here's what worked:
I went to Settings on the iPad and scrolled down to Keynote. Touch Keynote in Settings, and one option is Use Cloud or Not. Slide to NOT. Many of your Keynote presentations will disappear entirely. Don't panic. Wait a minute until all settles down, and then go back to settings, Keynote in Settings, and then slide the button back to Use Cloud. All your presentations will reload--will take a while, but you should get them all back safely. I don't know if Pages users have had the same problem, but I bet that would work for them as well.

Well thanks for stating the obvious, but not really that helpful......

Keynote Presentations Not Opening From iCloud

I recently learned that none of my Keynote presentations over 100MB will not open on my PC from the cloud. This is a MAJOR inconvenience. Does anyone know if there is a workaround this? Thanks.

Hi ...
Open System Preferences > iCloud
Deselect the box next to: Documents & Data then reselect it then restart your Mac.
Now try downloading your document.

16:9 Not filling screen

Without thinking I switched my camera over from HD to SD but left it set on 16:9. Now I am editing footage that does not fill the screen. It appears as a letter box in the middle of the screen with huge swaths of black all around. Is there anyway I can at least get the image to fill the screen horizontally?

My guess is that you shot the footage 16:9 Anamorphic SD but edited in 4:3 SD, which meant you unwittingly created a 4:3 edit with black letterbox bars added at top and bottom. The pillarboxing of that footage that you're also seeing when viewing your DVD version may simply be due to playback settings on the DVD player or display setting on your TV. (Is it a widescreen TV?) Alternatively you may have actually recorded the footage in camera as letterboxed 16:9, then edited that in an 16:9 Anamorphic timeline ... result would be the same ie a postage stamp surrounded by black. The point being you need to provide more accurate details before any of us (including yourself) are going to know what you did and how you might fix it.
Do you still have the footage and project on your Mac? If so, then load one of the source clips into the Viewer window ... Does it have black letterbox bars at top and bottom? Is it full frame 4:3 but everything seems tall and thin? With the clip in the Viewer and with the Viewer window active, press cmd-9 (item properties) and list for us what format details are displayed for this clip. Now what about the edit? With sequence in the timeline and the timeline window active, press Cmd 0 (sequence settings) and list for us all the settings details for the sequence. With the Canvas window active, press Shift Z (fit to window) and tell us whether the display shows black letterbox bars, black pillarbox bars, neither or both.

Keynote presenter notes cut off

Help - when I print slides with presenter notes, my notes get cut off at the end of the page. Apart from making the font really tiny (which makes it difficult when I'm presenting), is there any workaround?

I can print over 40 lines of text at 12 point if portrait is selected in the print dialogue box. There is an unnecessary blank space created by Keynote between the slide image and text but any more text than that you should use a text creation application, Edit Text, Pages, Word to print your text.

Why are 16x9 photos from PSE8 not filling screen when exported to PRE8?

I batch cropped a bunch of photos to (JPEG) 16x9 and created a slideshow in PSE8 (about 100 slides, 3.2 sec duration, random pan/zoom, random 1 sec transition). I had to click on each photo "properties" and choose "fit on slide" since it was defaulting to "crop to fit" (which was further cropping my 16x9 photos down to something not desirable).
When I "Output to PSE8" it shows up in the sceneline as not filling the entire space. If I click on this slide show in PRE8 and use the "properties" then "motion" and increase the size of the pictures, they come out blurry. However, if I insert one of the 16x9 photos directly into PRE8, it fills the entire screen and is perfect focused.
PLEASE tell me there is an easier solution than having to create the entire slideshow in PRE8. I really like the random transitions, easy batch duration pan/zoom, control.

Thanks for such a quick response Steve. I will attempt to add more information to help clarify your addtional quesitons
The pan and zoom I am using is the default (very minor- just enough to give the perception of movement).
If I import directly into PRE8 the picture(s) look perfect. It just seems to occur after I port to PRE8
I am not sure what workflow I am following but will be a bit more specific as to the steps I have been taking:
1. I open the PSE8 workspace and choose "organize" (not edit)
2. I click on "create" then click on "slideshow"
3. Next I set my specific defaults (for this project) 3.2 sec interval, 1 second Random transitions, apply pan and zoom to all slides and leave the "crop to fit slide-landscape" checked ( thanks for the tip to uncheck this next time, so I dont have to do it to every slide!!)
4. I then import my media from "add media" "photos and videos from folders" place the photos in the order i am looking for then save the project.
5.I next click "output" and "edit with Premiere Elements" - which open PRE8
6. in PRE8 setup I choose the "HDV 1080i 30" configuration.
The slideshow has now ported over to PRE8. The slideshow bundle does not utilize all of the space in the sceneline, hence my problem (black bars top and bottom of screen). Ironically, when I import via get media (directly from PRE8) the same pictures from my computer file (not in the organizer), they fill the entire space in the sceneline (no black bars on top or bottom). I have this problem regardless of whether or not I am using the pan/zoom or the unchecking of crop to fit slide landscape in PSE8.
I can send a screen print if you think that might help??
I sure hope this helps, all the other video items that are not related to this slideshow are perfect and this is killing me!!
Thanks, again, Mike

Color Calibrator can't work properly due to display not filling screen.

I have a Thinkpad W520 with the HD 1920x1080 display and the color sensor. I tried to run the Color Calibrator application but it always runs to completion but cannot process the measurements. So I opened the lid in the middle of a calibration and discovered that the color screen that is supposed to be viewed by the sensor is not full screen, thereby preventing the sensor from measuring the color. How can I set the graphics so that this app will display full screen when it runs? Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Yes I am. But I just solved the problem. I had adjusted my display to show text, icons, etc at 150% of normal resolution. Somehow it was causing the application to display only a partial screen. I set the magnification to 125% and now the color calibrator works fine.

Keynote won't fill screen with Apple TV AirPlay

I have an iPad and a new Apple TV (A5). I wanted to give presentations on an HDTV using the Apple TV, however the presentations don't quite fill the screen. Any way to change the aspect ratio, or at least a stretch to fill option in keynote?

I connect to Airplay Display, I select apple tv, and either mirror display or extended desktop. Doesn't matter which, both have the problem.
Then, on my imac I try to play a video and it does not work. I can even hit play on a video, let it go, and THEN turn on Airplay and it will stop playing as soon as I do.

Since I put Mountain Lion on my MacAir my PowerPoint and Keynote Presentations freeze up when I am presenting. This is so unacceptable when I have 75 - 500 people I am presenting in front of. I can no longer use my presenter tool either. Is there help

Since I put Mountain Lion on my MacAir, my Power Point presentations freeze up when hooked to an LCD projector. I can no longer use my presenter clicker tool that moves my slides as I walk among my audiences. This is totally unacceptable in the kind of work that I do. The Genius Bar person told me to try Keynote but that is even worse. I wanted to go back to Snow Leopard but because I have backed up my information on an external hard drive she said I cannot go back to Snow Leopard. Does anyone know of a solution to this problem? I have several presentations coming up in the next six weeks.

You need to move to Windows 7, because Apple is now releasing a new OS X version annually and it's playing havoc with people's hardware and software.
Windows 7 will get support until 2020, that's 8 years of software stability, however you do need to make System Restore disks, boot disk and another on a hard drive to self restore (like TimeMachine is for OS X)
Apple has no plans to change their currrent behavior as all they care about is selling new hardware with a shiny new OS X verison on it.
If you wait to move, what will happen is you'll lose that full 8 years and will have to swtich to a newer Windows sooner
Windows 7 machines are still widely avaialble, despite Windows 8 (a failure) being pushed currently.
Running three OS X operating systems on one machine is quite a chore reserved for only seasoned computer geeks, then it's only going to last X months as the next OS X version will be released, then the next a year after that.
Another method would be to get a virtual machine software (virtualbox is free) and install Windows 7 into that to ease your transitition if you cant' spring for a Windows 7 machine, preferablly a tower that will last a long time.
Here is a method to run Snow Leopard in Parallels, however it's a unapproced hack and not for the comptuer newbie.
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1365439
We have no control over Apple's OS X release cycle, nor the third party developers who make their own decisions what to support.
Our only choice as users to stop using both products and seek software/hardware stability.

1920x1080 TV as monitor not filling screen/black padding.

I have an LE40C535 Samsung HDTV. I'm connected to it via VGA cable. When I choose 1920x1080 @ 60 hertz, the screen is compressed from the left and right with 2 black vertical rectangles.
Setting to lower resolutions fills the screen but it looks poorer than my 1400x900 LCD on the MacBook Pro powering my experience.
Additionally, all resolutions seem to make text blurry. I've tried this:
defaults -currentHost write -globalDomain AppleFontSmoothing -int 2
but it did not seem to help.
Anyone know what I can do?

black screen, can see nothing , but f8 and f2 when turning on comp. Once it gets past HP logo, it goes balck with white words saying not supported. Not sure what he changed.

UIWebView Content not filling screen in landscape

Hello everybody.
I'm working on a simple iPhone app that will host a specific web page in a UIWebView. I found that once I open the app, zoom out (to get the bouncy effect that puts the content back to fill the screen), and then rotate the phone my UIWebView's content doesn't fill the screen. I have tried to scroll and noticed that the UIWebView does fill the screen, but the webpage is only taking up part of the UIWebView. The webpage is a smaller version and positioned to the upper left hand corner of the screen. If I double click to zoom, the web page then fills the screen as expected
Here's a screenshot of what I'm seeing
http://img25.imageshack.us/i/screenshot20110216at321.png/
I have scalePagesToFit set and I have tried using javascript to zoom (which only zooms the text, not the actual content element in the UIWebView). I have been searching for days and finding nothing that will fix this issue. Can anybody here help me out in some way?
Thanks for reading!

And therein lies the rub. I remember those controls. But they don't appear in my 3.1 update. I can see my choice of screen mode being reset by a software update, but I can't put it back like I had it.
I'll try resetting and see if it brings the screen zoom control back.
Thanks anyway for at least confirming they should still be there.
