Presenter notes w/o 2nd display?

I often teach where I'm working without a projector or 2nd display. I really like having the presenter display with timer and clock with my speaking notes. Is there a way to use the speaker display even if I'm not presenting any display to my audience?

THanks Gary. Yes this would basically just be using it as electronic notes. I cAn break my notes into many smaller chunks & much larger fonts to help keep my place as my vision is changing on me, and I really want the timer & clock right there. I find myself forgetting to check the time when I first start speaking, or if I'm introduced earlier or later than expected I need to calculate time elapsed/left while still speaking & maintaining my train of thought. Hence absolutely needing the timer instead of simple making my notes be the slideshow itself.

  • How i can present my keynote in 2nd display?

    i wnat to present my keynote in 2nd display. how i can do it? i try to do, but it's always show in 1st display (my macbook). i want it to show on projecter!!!

    You have the display set in Extended Desktop mode. In System Preferences>Display on the MacBook screen there should be an Arrangement tab when you have the MacBook hooked up to the TV and both screens working. When you click the Arrangement tab do you see two monitors side by side? One of them will have a Menu Bar at the top. Just click on the Menu Bar and drag it to the second monitor. That will make the second monitor your main screen. You can now use your MacBook in Clamshell Mode with a wired or Bluetooth keyboard and mouse.  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3131 When you disconnect from the projector your Menu Bar will automatically change back to the MacBook.
    Or if you want to work on the MacBook screen while showing it on the projector you can check the Mirror Display box on the lower left hand side of the Arrangement tab under the two monitors box.

  • Why do presenter notes appear on both displays?

    On previous presentations I have used presenter notes successfully, but this time they are appearing on both displays or neither. What am I doing wrong please?

    Many thanks, Gary.
    I do have Mac 10.6. I followed your link to Mirror Displays in Snow Leopard and then to Mac Help on "Displays".
    The solution is that the "Arrangments" tab only appears when the projector or second display is actually connected to the computer. So now I have unselected Mirror setting and all works fine. (Its a mystery how it got set since last year, but that doesn't matter.)
    Because of the layout here, when I am connected to (cable) internet I am out of reach of the projector, so did not discover the solution earlier. Thanks again.

  • Firefox 12.0 will not open on 2nd display by default

    I just upgraded to Firefox 12.0. I have a second monitor connected to my MacBook Pro. With Firefox 11 and all previous versions, I had it set up that Firefox would automatically open on the second monitor when I open the program. With Firefox 12, it absolutely will '''not''' do this any longer. It's extremely annoying and makes me want to switch to Safari or Chrome, both of which do correctly open on the 2nd monitor.
    Here's what I tried:
    -Resizing the window and moving it to the second display, then quitting the program and reopening it.
    -Moving the window to the second display and maximizing it, then quitting the program and reopening it.
    -Uninstalling Firefox and deleting ALL files (including those in the Library Application Support and Preferences folders), then reinstalling version 12.0
    -Uninstalling Firefox and deleting ALL files (including those in the Library Application Support and Preferences folders), then reinstalling version 13.0b
    -Uninstalling Firefox and deleting ALL files (including those in the Library Application Support and Preferences folders), then running disk utility to repair permissions and disk, THEN reinstalling version 12.0.
    What will correct the problem (though not a solution):
    -Uninstalling Firefox and deleting ALL files (including those in the Library Application Support and Preferences folders), then reverting back to reinstalling version 11 and turning off the automatic updates.

    Just like Scott, dno_bot...and the many others across Google that are experiencing this same problem.
    Previous versions behaved properly - Version 12.0 has a bug! hopefully it is fixed before they lose users to the likes of Chrome, Safari, IE, Aurora, Opera, etc, etc. There is a reason we chose Firefox, and there could be a reason why we chose to delete it????

  • 2nd display not as bright as first display

    I have 2 facory video cards installed. They're the same (ATI 5770) each have mini ports and aldo DVI.
    When I boot up each day at work, the second display won't go to full brightness. USBs are both plugged in and I do get the brightness control levers on the preferences for both displays. However, the 2nd display (at 100%) is just not as bright as the primary display. Both are the same 27" displays; each on their own dedicated video cards. I would say it is about 20% less bright.
    Sometimes if I re-boot or reset SMC and monkey with it, I can get it to boot at 100% brightness but lately it's choosing on it's own to be dimmer. Switching USB ports didn't seem to have any effect. I am assuming it's a hardware issue bc I have reset PRAM, SMC, Disk Repair, trashing preferences, and so I'm a little bummed this expensive 27" LED display can't guage it's full brightness.
    Thanks kindly for any input / solutions.

    To post a hopefully helpful follow-up.. over past couple of days I got it to hold up its full brightness. To restore the full brightness of the 2nd display I disconnected / reconnected the display cable a few times until I noticed it was suddenly matching the full brightness of the 1st display. Is it the 2nd video card? The display? The G5 hardware/software? Can't say.
    But after re-booting overnight, it retained the full brightness. Not sure why this happened/s, could be an isolated issue with something slightly defective?? Regardless, maybe this will help someone where both displays are not at full 100% brightness. Replug them a couple times to see if that tricks it back into action.
    Remember, my toggles in the display prefs said both were at 100% yet the 2nd display was clearly 20% darker before I got them back to true 100%.
    In the end, these LED displays are truely magnificent (aside from my isolated issue).

    Problems facing....
    My cinema HD is set to primary display and Cinema as 2nd display. Everything was working fine but suddenly my 2nd display stopped working. It remains black as if its in sleep mood. The small power led light on the monitor is On(not blinking). In Graphics/Displays shows both monitors are connected. I can drag any window to the 2nd display as if its working but its still black. In display preferences it shows both monitor on arrangement section. I can even change the resolution size of both monitors.
    My cinema display monitor has no problem. I have checked it already. I have swapped the DVI ports at the back of my cpu but it seems only the 2nd port is giving this problem. As if no matter what my 2nd port of graphics card is on sleep mood. I have taken it to our local apple center and both ports were working fine there, the only difference is they checked it using none apple lcd monitor. But when I brought it back to office, it had the same problem again. The strange thing is....one day while I was working the 2nd display suddenly appeared but when I restarted my mac, it went back to the same problem. Till now my 2nd display not showing anymore. I have reinstalled to new OSx but the problem remains. So can anyone pls tell me how I can solve this problem.
    thanks
    <Edited by Host>

    only the 2nd port is giving this problem
    You have an older card, and the second port is flaky. The problem follows the port.
    I am sorry to be so blunt, but the problem is YOU.
    No one wants to be the one to club you on the head and point out that your card is dying, and you are going to have to get a new(er) one. There is no "quick fix" for dying Hardware, and no fix at all for you when you will not connect the dots and realize your card is on its last legs.
    If running 10.6.4 or later, you can install the 5770 and it will work, but not at quite the advertised speeds if your slot will only go up to 8x.

  • 2nd Display not working on iMAC

              I have a 2nd display that has recently stopped working with my iMAC - I had issues with the second monitor before I upgraded to 10.9 - then the problems went away ... had a bad storm one night and power flickered on / off.  And can't get it to work since.  I know the monitor / cord is good because i have an Mac Air and I plug it in and it comes right up and works great.  I cleared the system log - unplugged and replugged the monitor in.. i don't see any errors in the system log..  can anyone see what is wrong? I cleared the log and put a marker on each side of the output.. I looks to me to see it - it say display added then right after that display removed..

    You can attempt to use Apple Hardware Test, if you do run it in Extended Mode 2-3 times. It's not the most reliable test however if it does locate an error that confirms you have a hardware fault that needs to be fixed. The ONLY alternative is to take it in for service. However IMHO I'd take it in to an Apple Store or AASP anyway, because A) AHT is not that reliable and B) even if it does find something that means you have to take it in.

  • Hyperlink not working in presentation mode when using alternate display

    Made hyperlinks to jump from slide x to slide y
    That worked fine when testing in presentation mode
    When the same file is played using a beamer as alternate display the hyperlinks are not recognised: clicking will start the next build of the presentation

    Is there anybody who successfully used a hyperlink to jump from slide A to slide Y? (and when using the beamer as an alternate display, using the macbook pro screen for the presentation notes)
    If so, I can try to find out what I do wrong, otherwise it might be a bug in Keynote'08
    thanks for your attention in this matter!!

    Surprising nobody in this community knew this.

  • How do I enlarge the "presenter notes" window when running my presentation on an external display?

    In the latest version of Keynote, the "Presenter Notes" window is a small horizontal field at the bottom of the presenter's computer screen.  Only 3-4 lines of text can be seen.  This means that when you have a few paragrahs of notes, you have to scroll through them as you are presenting.  This is very cumbersome.  In the previous version of Keynote you could change the relative size of the slides versus the "presenter's notes" boxes when running a presentation on an external display, but in the new version, I can't find a way of enlarging the "presenter's notes" field.
    Also, in the new version, the preview slide doesn't show the initial text on the next slide if that text emerges as a "dissolve in" build when you advance forward through your slides.  I always have the initial text on my slides automatically "dissolve in" after each slide transtion.  But in the new version of Keynote, when in presenter mode, I can't see any of the text on the "next slide."  This makes it difficult to anticipate what slide comes next . . . without going to the Navigator.  Does any one have a solution for this?
    Thank you.

    I figured it out with the help of a post from a few days ago.  Although posted for a different problem, I followed these steps from Cornelia-I and it worked like a charm:
    You can change the link of LR to the images from the network drive to your local drive, best done on parent folder level: right-click the highest folder in library left panel, and choose update storage location. In the opening dialog window point it to your internal folder.

  • How can I make presenter notes longer on presentation display?

    They currently only show about 3 lines at a time when im rehearsing my presentation and would like to change that so i can see more of my notes when Im presenting.

    Playing around with this, I found that in Mavericks, if I have 3 displays going I will get one whole display of Presenter Notes. With two, Notes are in a very small space.
    Don't know if this helps, but with modern MBPs and Mavericks, you can do some pretty amazing stuff.
    Regards.

  • PB thinks 2nd display is hooked up when not

    I hook up a 2nd monitor at work to hold my Adobe palettes. However, when I use the PB at home without the 2nd monitor, the computer reads that all of the palettes are open while they are not visible.
    I've checked my system preferences to detect a 2nd monitor but it doesn't detect it. Please help as I am unable to complete my work without the 2nd hookup.
    One other problem, I've lost the 2nd display in Hurricane Katrina so purchasing another right now is out of the question. Thanks!!

    Did you try that while your Adobe application was open? If no, try that.
    Next, with it open, try going into display preferences. (You've tried detect displays already, so...) Change the resolution to something smaller, and then back again. - this may force the window into the LCD.
    Just a thought, but is your Adobe app. up to date for 10.4 Tiger?

  • IMac does not recognize 2nd display

    I have read about 100 forums concerning this process and I must say that I am lost. I am trying to connect a second display to my iMac but when I go to system preferences/display and click on detect display, nothing happens. The arrangement tab does not appear between the display and color tabs.
    My second display is a 19" Sony TFT LCD display with VGA plug. I have a VGA to DVI adapter that I connected a DVI to mini-DVI adapter to. I then plugged the mini-DVI adapter into my iMAC. The iMac screen went blue for about 2 seconds and then returned to the normal desktop screen but my second display did not do anything. I am trying to use this second display to extend my desktop not mirror it.
    Can anyone help me out with this problem. Right now I am wondering if:
    1. My iMac does not support this second display.
    2. My DVI to mini-DVI cable is bad.
    3. My install of leopard did not install software needed to add/recognize second display.
    I can confirm that the display works; I was recently using on both a PC desktop and laptop.

    I have a similar problem but it happened suddenly. I bought the mini-DVI to VGA converter and every thing was working fine. Then the second display just stopped waking up. Now when I hit "Detect Displays" nothing happens. I'm pretty sure that the problem is not the display. I've read elsewhere that these converters are flakey. Maybe I'll have to go back to the store and have them check it out.

  • Have iMac mid 2007 using Mavericks . . . will not function with new 2nd display?

    Sys Prefs setup with 2nd display using Mavericks . . . the new functions of Mav won't come in with LG display even though same display works with my other Macs. Any like experiences or advise would be more than appreciated?   bumdiago

    Shawn:
    One thing that caused the refresh to stop working is when you have error or bad settings in your report. Expand your upper right control panel or EVDRE area and see if everything is good. For instance, an EVDRE usually gives an error message rather than displaying (EVDRE OK) at upper right.
    Also, did your input template refresh the data properly every time after you sent your data? If so, you may convert your input template to a report, and see if that will solve your problem.

  • MacBook 2nd display (mini-DVI-DVI (D)- VGA)?

    I am trying to hook up a second display to my MacBook. The problem is that I don't have a mini-DVI to VGA adapter, but I have a mini-DVI to DVI, and a DVI to VGA adapters. So I connected my Apple mini-DVI to DVI, to my DVI to VGA, and then to my 2nd display (NEC LCD1560NX). The notebook's image flips as i normally connect a second display, it auto-detects the 2nd screen and displays its correct name, but I do not get an image on my second display. It set to the right resolution and frequency.
    Any suggestions?

    go to system preferences -> display-> and mirror the displays, it should work on the second display, but the cons on the macbook is to work on the first display, the built in card may not support the second one, if thats the case i'm sorry i can't help it. you can also try to get a DVI/VGA splitter and see if that work, it works on standard integrated intel VGA models. good luck!
