Preview for me on external Monitor (or Beamer)

Hi,
I build up a presentation with Keynote. All works fine an quick. But if I try to show the presentation with a Beamer an try to use the preview for me (2 small slides) I always have the preview on the Beamer. Regardless the position of the main monitor (Displays).
What I have to do to use the preview on the display on my MacBook and the 100% picture on the Beamer?
Thanks.

I've taken this from another poster here on the forums (I don't recall who wrote it, and encourage the author to take proper credit):
"1) In System Preferences > Displays > Arrangement: be sure that Mirror Displays is NOT checked; be sure that the Menu Bar is located in the monitor icon that represents your computer display.
2) In Keynote Preferences > Slideshow: be sure that the button "Present on Secondary Display" is marked. This will direct the presentation to the projector (or whatever display you have for the audience).
3) In Keynote Preferences > Presenter Display: be sure that the box "Use alternate display to view presenter information" is checked. This will put the presenter notes onto your computer display."

  • What to look for in an external monitor

    I am in the process of changing my editing system to handle hd. I am using a 24" imac 2.4 Intel Core 2 Duo. With my sd set up I used a Sony dv/dvcam deck and a JVC professional 13" Monitor. I am purchasing the new JVC gy-hm100u camcorder when it is released in April. I am somewhat confused about having an external monitor hooked up to my system for viewing my FCP projects. (1) What should I look for in the external monitor. Do I want a computer monitor or an HD TV? Once I purchase the external monitor/tv can I get rid of my SD JVC monitor all together. I don't want to spend a lot but I want to make sure I get a monitor with the right specs. (2) What happens if I want to use past dv footage in a new project shot in hd. I do a lot of corporate projects which require the use of old interviews as part of the new productions. Am I going to have an issue doing this? Thanks in advance for any help.

    To view HD variants, you'll need a 3rd party card.
    You are severely limited with an iMac. Your only real choice is a Matrox MXO driving a 24" Dell or older 23" Apple Cinema Display.
    While you can use an AJA ioHD to drive a HDTV, you'll need to connect it via FW800. This is a problem as no other devices can be on the same bus and, since all firewire ports on an iMac are on the same bus, it won't work.
    I would not dispose of the Standard Def monitor. If you work with SD material, you'll still need it. HDtvs are lousy devices for monitoring SD.

  • A fix for a blurry external monitor for the mac air 11

    http://gizmodo.com/5938452/a-trick-to-make-using-an-external-monitor-with-your-m acbook-way-better
    After a frustrating evening with a blurry external monitor I found the fix at link above. Very happy!

    First, what you said is contradictory. You say "can't get a video signal", then say"the Mac wallpaper is broadcast, the mouse pointer is visible". "No video signal" means an absolutely black,blank screen. It sounds like you have plenty of signal.
    I am supposing what you are seeing is actually a blank desktop, which is to be expected if your settings are such that you are extending the desktop, instead of mirroring it.
    Within the preference panes is a setting that allows you to change this. Open System Preferences, click Displays, and then click Arrangement. You will see that you are extending the desktop. Change that setting.

  • Use ipod photo for video on external monitor

    Apple support article ID: 300251 reads that "iPod photo supports displaying video on an external video source." Can someone explain how to put video on the ipod photo. I imported my video into iTunes 6 but then when synchronizing it doesn't seem to appear on my ipod photo.
    Powerbook, i book, i book G4, G4 cube, ipod, ipod photo, ipod video   Mac OS X (10.4)  

    the ipod phot does not support viewing video on the ipod itself. the ipod photo lacks the chipset needed to play videos. There is no way around this fact. If you want to play video then buy the new ipod.

  • How do I get Preview Slideshow to appear in external monitor/projector

    In Preview in Snow Leopard, I could set up a slideshow and use it for presentations through an external monitor or on a screen using a projector. I did this by dragging the Preview window onto the external monitor and then clicking on View/Slideshow. A kind of poor man's PowerPoint presentation, but very quick to set up. Now, unless the displays are mirrored, as soon as I click on View/Slideshow, the slideshow is "sucked" back onto the screen on my MacBook, leaving the external screen blank.
    I have found that there are alternatives to Preview available, like Xee, but with the Preview slideshow feature, only the pictures appear on the screen, with all the background being black, which looks more "professional".
    Does anyone know if there's anything I can do to stop the Preview slideshow ending up back on the MacBook?
    David

    There is something terribly wrong with Lion's support for two monitors, compared to previous Mac OSes, and it looks like you have found another instance of that fact. Oddly enough it seems like QuickLook may work where Preview doesn't. Anyway, I have two monitors and if I move a folder full of images to the secondary monitor, then select the images and right click and then click QuickLook in the Contextual Menu, then click the full screen arrows and the play button, the slideshow will play on the second monitor. If I open the pix in Preview, move the Preview window to the second monitor, and select "Play Slideshow" it promptly moves everything to the main screen, ditto for clicking the full screen arrows within Preview--moves to main monitor and in effect turns off secondary monitor. So give QuickLook a try and see if that will work for your purposes.

  • [SOLVED]Battle for Wesnoth and external vga monitor

    Hi all, i have my hp pavilion dm1 1010el hooked up to a 19'' external monitor via vga cable. When i plug it in, i use xrandr to mirror my screen, but when i try to launch battle for wesnoth, my external monitor becomes gray and wesnoth starts into LVDS (the laptop monitor...)
    how can i fix this thing? it only happens with wesnoth, usually i can open things wherever i want
    thanks!
    Last edited by samuele.mattiuzzo (2010-04-30 10:38:35)

    You could use xrandr to disable your notebooks "monitor" and only activate the external 19" monitor. This should force battle of wesnoth to run on the external display.
    Gaming with dual head can sometimes be a problem. I am running a dual head combination (19" and 15" TFT) with a AMD HD4670 and radeon opensource drivers. When gaming I start a short shell script before launching the actual game to enable only the 19" display. Afterwards I use another shell script to set to dual head.
    Edit:
    This is my "singlehead.sh"
    xrandr --output VGA-0 --off
    xrandr --output DVI-0 --mode 1280x1024
    This is my "dualhead.sh":
    xrandr --output DVI-0 --mode 1280x1024
    xrandr --output VGA-0 --mode 1024x768 --right-of DVI-0

  • What resolution do I need in an external monitor for my 15" G4 Powerbook?

    Hello mac friends this is my first post I really hope someone can help me out. I need to get an external monitor for my 15 powerbook g4 1.67 w/ 64 mb graphics card. I can not find any monitor on the market whos' native resolution matches that of my g4 (1280x854). Do I need to match the native res? I ideally would like a widescreen b/w 20 and 23", though I am not crazy about the apple displays (mainly the $). I am trying to figure out what native res I need to be looking for in an external monitor, etc. Anyone who can advise would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks- Jon
    PowerBook G4 15inch 1.67ghz   Mac OS X (10.4.9)   low res, 1.5gb ram

    The fact that you don't need to match the native resolution disguises a great and valuable feature: Your PowerBook can drive monitors higher than its native resolution. Check the specifications for your PowerBook to see how high it can go. (There's a Specifications link at the top of this page.)
    For example, my PowerBook G4 native resolution is also 1280x854 like yours. I bought a 20" Apple Cinema Display which is 1680x1050. Is that a problem? No, it's GREAT. Because I didn't just double my screen space, the external more than doubled it thanks to the ability of the PowerBook video card to go beyond the native resolution. My PowerBook's specs say I could run a monitor up to 2048 by 1536 pixels. (Many Windows laptops have the same capability.)
    You can go to any computer store and buy just about any monitor that has a DVI or VGA port on it, that is within the resolution range for your PowerBook, and it will work. Dell, Samsung, NEC, etc. should all be OK if you want to save money. DVI is better and plugs in directly, but if you buy VGA, you will need to use the VGA-DVI adapter that came with your PowerBook.

  • Advanced External Monitor Functions?

    I'm trying to run a seamless slideshow (similar to how Preview runs) on an external monitor. However, I need to be able to add files as time passes, without interupting the seamless show.
    I need to either maintain control of the desktop while a slideshow runs on the external, or network/slave the computer so that I can still make changes to either a dedicated image folder, or the program itself while it is still running the show.
    As advanced in graphics as these computers are, I'm sure there is a solution out there.
    I have the ability to source whatever computers I need to do this, but would prefer to keep it to one or two laptops at most.
    Thank you in advance for your feedback.

    CD, welcome to the forum,
    as your system has the 256 graphics you should have no problems whatsoever. Max resolution is 2048 x 1536

  • Problems with an external monitor

    I have a laptop with intel 945 grafic card and I also use an external monitor (which has a nicer panel).
    However I experience some strange problems with my setup:
           I usually (when I am at home) start my laptop and close the laptop screen via
    xrandr --output LVDS --off
    But, after a random period of time (I have not found any good reason for it) my external monitor goes in some sort of power save mode (the screen goes black and remains that way).
    I usually activate the other screen (LVDS) and try to see if I can do anything.

    No matter what I do I cannot live reactivate the external monitor.
    (usually I try with the classic :
    xrandr --output VGA --auto
    Inittially I thought it is a problem with the driver (i810) so I upgraded yesterday the whole system.
    Even after I did that and used the new driver (intel) I still had much luck as I had an other blanking event today.
    An other ideea is that this is caused by faulty bios, but it is just a guess
    My present day solution: reboot (yes, full reboot, because restarting the xorg has not the intended effect)
    Any ideas on what may cause this?
    Any help would be appreaciated.

    display goes to sleep when colsed because there is a magnetic switch - small magnet opens the circuit.
    if it stays on, either magnet was misplaced, some wire disconnected or the issue is with the switch circuit.
    on some models switch is part of trackpad, if you have small magnet, try moving it over trackpad, see what it does.

  • Dual External Monitors with 15" MacBook Pro (Late 2011)

    I'm looking for suggestions for using dual external monitors with new MacBook Pro's.  The company I work for has started to puchase these for certain employees and we are looking for any good suggestions.
    It appears that the display/thunderbolt port should be able to support many devices but I have not seen any way to hook up multiple displays.  The idea is that these employees would be working with the macbook pro screen closed while in the office and use dual displays.  The only option that I can find is to use a usb device to output video to a second display.  I don't really like that because my experience with these devices is that they usally present a display lag and I know our graphic designers would never go for that.
    One employee suggested that he use the VGA adapter and then get a VGA splitter.  I'm not exacty certain that would work though. Wouldn't that just mirror the display on two screens instead of allowing an extended desktop?  Also it looks like expensive Apple displays have ports so that you can daisy chain thunderbolt devices out of those monitors but this company will not go for the cost of those displays.
    Am I missing anything?  Any suggestions would be helpful.
    Thanks!

    Look into the Matrox Dualhead2Go DP Edition. If it works with Thunderbolt Macs, it will support two identical 1920 x 1080 DVI monitors as one extended desktop. Verify with Matrox that it is Thunderbolt-compatible and will suit your purposes before ordering.

  • External Monitor Recommendations

    I'm looking for a good external monitor. Any recommendations for a good 17 inch LCD monitor for my iBook?

    There is an adapter for hooking up to an external monitor included with your iBook, but it can only mirror the image on your iBook's screen; if you want to use dual monitors, or you want to use a higher resolution, you'll need Screen Spanning Doctor (VersionTracker.com). Although it's a freeware app, it's very good and shouldn't do any damage to your iBook (I use it, and I have no problems).
    Good luck!

  • Add an External monitor on T43

    By the way, I did a clean install of winxp and some neccesary drivers,  so my thinkpad is not the same as the manufacturing status. Maybe I need to install some other drivers for configuring the external monitor?

    You need to open the desktop settings and find where "clone" is checked. Check off that and on extended desktop.

  • Ntsc preview on external monitor

    hey guys,
    I have an ntsc job to edit and am doing a test so i am ready for when i sit down with the client. I cannot get a preview on my external monitor. Normally I pipe it to a dsr 11 deck when using pal no prob. Tried that with all settings to ntsc land ( flicked the ntsc switch on back of deck ) no love. I get an image but it wont play motion, when i hit the space bar it updates the image from where i was to where i stop but no motion, it gives me a display as if it is set on current from not all frames. I connected the firewire to my Z1 and get the same thing. Using FCP 5.1.4
    I used an easy set up in ntsc dv anamorphic.
    Any suggestions ??

    my TV and camera will display both ntsc and pal. Just went back to my powerbook and it did what i wanted no prob. Must be an imac thing, will try trashing prefs and see what happens, but will do job on weekend on PB. Getting late here in Sydney, will sort it out later... Thanks anyways...

  • Macbook pro does not support Final Cut Pro preview on external monitor?

    I have been editing on Final Cut Pro from my imac for approx 1 year with an external monitor attached with no problems. I recently bought a macbook pro, for Final Cut Pro editing, and discovered that the monitor does not work. The Final Cut Pro preview on the external monitor freezes and in the preview pane of FCP it flick between two images.
    I have been reading around some forums, and have seen a couple of people with the same problem.
    Anyone have a suggestion on how to run the external monitor with FCP?
    Thanks!

    You have probably already done it but ensure you have updated the OS and Quicktime prior to attempting to instal Final Cut Studio.
    I recently had a hard drive crash and after installing the new hard drive it would not read the OS installation disc. I ended up using an external drive case and installed the OS on the drive from a different Mac Book, then reinstalled the hard drive in the other Mac Book. Then it booted right up. I updated all the original software before attempting to install any additional software.
    Everyone kept saying it wouldn't install due a possibly defective optical drive and I can't say why but it wasn't the drive. As soon as I had the system up and running again the optical drive functioned flawlessly.
    I hope this helps you.
