Projector issues using Keynote

I've been using Keynote on my iPad for teaching, and it's been great so far. However, I've noticed that, sometimes when I'm talking and not using the iPad, the projector will lose its connection to the iPad. Once that happens, no matter what I do (restarting projector, restarting iPad, re-attaching cables, restarting Keynote, you name it) doesn't seem to get Keynote to show up on the projector again. (I.e. Keynote will open, but that special play button that lets you project onto the projector will not show up; instead, you get the regular play button that you see when it's not connected to anything.)
The initial connection to the projector is fine. It's only when the projector somehow loses the connection to the iPad/Keynote that the problem happens.
Has anyone else encountered this issue and, if so, have you solved it?

Never had that happen to me with Keynote. Are you sure the VGA connector didn't come loose?
I've had similar issues with other apps, e.g. iCab Mobile. Unlike Keynote, they don't prevent the iPad from going to sleep. And I found myself struggling to re-enable the connection to the projector afterwards on such occassions. Can't remember exactly what I did, but it did involve unplugging the VGA adapter and restarting the app in question (but neither the projector nor the iPad).

Projector Issues Using Maverick OSX

After upgrading to Maverick - Mac book pro retina would not recognize any connection to a projector. This was true using both USB ports and thunderbolt. Removed using time machine back to Mountain Lion and no problem. Any ideas!

Using Keynote and iPhoto slideshow together

Computer: 12" Powerbook G4, 1.5ghz
Display: 23" Apple Cinema Display (1920x1200)
Software: OSX 10.4.9, Keynote 2, iPhoto 6
Hi everyone! Above are the specs for the project I'm working on and here's the problem I'm having:
I am trying to create a makeshift kiosk display for an upcoming event using slides in Keynote and a picture slideshow in iPhoto. I'm planning on running it off my Powerbook to my 23" Cinema Display.
I'm using Keynote for the presentation content because of the motion effects (transitions, build-ins, etc.) and iPhoto for the image slideshow because of the Ken Burns effect (which I don't believe Keynote has). Both look great running seperately, however when this is being displayed at the show, I'll need both to run back to back automatically, without having to manually switch back and forth between applications.
I have both the Keynote presentation and the iPhoto slideshow displaying at 1920x1200. I've tried exporting the iPhoto slideshow to Quicktime, but it won't export any higher than 640x480. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can make this work? I won't be able to operate the computer when this is running, so I really need to find a way to make everything run seamlessly while keeping the high resolution of the 1920x1200 monitor.
Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks,

iMovie is a DV editing app and the final results would still make a 640X480 file.
I would change a few things to make everything work together:
First is the display resolution. You want the 23 inches to be used so just reduce the display preferences to try and match your QuickTime file. 800X600 sounds about right but larger will still work as H.264 Video scales up in size very nicely.
This would force you to "reduce" the dimensions of the Keynote file but that shouldn't be much of an issue.
QuickTime Pro could also be used to "change" the dimensions of the 640X480 file. Again, H.264 scales up in size and would look pretty good at even double size.
The goal is to have them both at the same dimension and then match the monitor resolution.
Easier to change the display than the files.

My MacBook Air (OS 10.8.4) does not connect to projectors consistently using a VGA/Thunderbolt connetor. The Monitors/detect displays box that I am used to never appears. Intermittently the "arrangement" window appears in the Displays System Preferences

My previous MacBook Air running an older operating system synced up just fine with these same projectors using the same minidisplay to vga adapter. My new computer has Airplay on it, and Airplay shows up on my menu bar on the new laptop where the displays icon used to appear. I cannot get the displays icon to display (even when I turn Airplay mirroring off). It used to show up on the menu bar and if I had projector issues I hit "detect displays" and it resolved. None of that appears to be available with the new operating system and Airplay on. I am not sure why.

Projector Recommendations for Keynote

I would like to get some recommendations from those of you who frequently use Keynote with a projector. I would like to get some help with what projector to purchase.
I conduct small group presentations (fewer than 50 people) in typically-sized hotel conference rooms. My ideal projector would have a crisp, bright image in such a setting. I travel to these meetings, so a light, rugged projector would be best.
Ideally, I would like to keep the cost under $2500.
Can you guys recommend a projector that you feel would meet those needs?
Thanks in advance.

Ron ...
Thank you for taking the time to respond. Unfortunately, I was "under the gun" and needed to order the system before getting your response. I ordered an Infocus Work Big IN36. Unfortunately, I didn't like it. The color accuracy was really poor. For example, true yellow looked brownish mustard; certain other shades of bright yellow looked green. I worked for an hour with their technical support guys trying to resolve the trouble with no improvement. I bought it from MacMall, and they allowed me to return it without any hassle.
I then ordered an NEC NP60. I'm pleased. It is light and portable. It outputs 3000 lumens, has a 1600:1 contrast ratio, and only weighs 3.5 pounds. I'm pretty pleased with the color accuracy. It's not as accurate as a high-end projector or home theater projector, but I think it's really designed with brightness as it's primary consideration (which I need in a big, brightly lit hotel conference room). I got it from MacMall for $1250.
Anyway, thanks for taking the time to post. I would have given the OPTOMA a spin, but, as I said, I needed to make the buy before you posted.

Can you run a presentation on a screen using keynote

Does anyone know how to run a presentation using keynote a large projector? If so what do I need to accomplish this for a large meeting?

You need the proper cable to connect to the projection. The digital AV (HDMI) allows charging the iPad and supports mirroring the iPad's screen. There is also the VGA cable that also supports mirroring. There are also component and pmposit but those do not support mirroring and have poorer resolution.

Using Keynote 5 & Keynote 6 Together

I was one of the fortunate ones who did not loose their ability to work with Keynote 5.3, when Keynote was upgraded to version 6. I have hundreds of Keynote 5 presentations I use to make a living. But now I'm wondering if it is possible to use Keynote 6 on the same Mac as Keynote 5?
If so, what pit-falls should I be aware of so I don't end-up prohibiting myself from continuing to use my previous Keynote presentations, without being forced to upgrade them?
Thanks for any insight anyone can offer ...

Hello - Since I started this thread I thought I should return to it and let you know that I was able to get both Keynote 5 & Keynote 6 working at the same time. I did this with the help of a very knowledgable person at the Apple Genius Bar. I did not have to move anything, since Keynote 5 was already in the iWork '09 folder.
I went to the Apple App Store and installed Keynote 6 as an update - even thought it's says "Update", it actually loads and entirely new version of Keynote 6 in the Application Folder.
As mentioned above, you definitely want to clearly indicate which of your presentations are built with Keynote 5, and which are built with Keynote 6. Then Make Sure you open the respective ones Only from Within their respective applications. If you do not, you will not be able to go back and open your old presentations in Keynote 5, some of your transitions & features will be lost.
Just to be clear, I am now able to open both versions of Keynote at exactly the same time without any issues.

How to use keynote remote w/ iPad and iPhone using Bluetooth

Using IOS 7.0.6 on iPad and iPhone can't get a connection via Bluetooth to use iPhone as a remote to control keynote on iPad. Bluetooth is on, remote is enabled in keynote on both devices but that is as far as I get. I'm looking for some instructions for what seems to be a simple process. Searched all over and only find outdated instructions or instructions that appear incomplete. I don't think my Wi-Fi connection at work will allow this type of connection that's why I want to use Bluetooth. I can't get the 2 devices to do this on my home Wi-Fi either. Using the latest update to keynote. iPad is work issued and not sure if it is iPad or iPad 2 but I don't think this would make a difference. Any help would be much appreciated. Very frustrated at this point.
Thank you,
Carl

Hey, I had some issues but I finally figured it out thanks to this article: http://www.cnet.com/how-to/how-to-use-keynote-to-control-keynote-on-ios-mac/
Basically, you find the remote (let's say your iPhone) while your iPad has a presentation active then go to Presentation Tools on said iPad and link your iPhone. Your iPhone has to be searching for a device after you tap "Add Device."

New to apple and wondering if using keynote is easier than power point.

Hello all,
I have only been using os x for about 6 months, and I was wondering if using keynote is easier than power point? I am in school so I need to know if keynote will save in ppt format. The school that I go to only uses MS office 97 to 2004 format for all docs and power points. Is using keynote that much different?

i find keynote MUCH easier in almost all areas. it did take me a little learning in the beginning. the main thing to know is that apple uses a floating pallet call "inspector" to control just about all the details of the presentation. they also have a "formatting bar" which is conceptually similar to the formatting bars microsoft uses in the previous versions of office (font size, etc...).
the basic entry for slides is the same, where one just types into the fields on the slides. what i find much better is the control i have in the "inspector" to fine tune anything. i've gotten completely dependent on keynotes "staging" which is how one makes the slides animate. if i have a series of bullets and a diagram, i use the staging to get the diagram to be revealed in stages and to get the bullets appear one at a time in sync with the diagram i'm explaining. nothing is more boring for an audience to have someone just stand up, thru up a slide with 100 words and read the text bullets.
i find keynote to be much easier to develop diagrams or to copy and paste in a PDF picture. then add the staging effects i need to develop the story to explain the diagram or picture. it does take a little learning how to do it the first couple times. but the interface is consistent and it's not hard to learn it.
the only aspect i find a little easier in powerpoint is the indenting style, which is controlled in one of the editing buttons in office 11 and before. keynote controls the indenting from the "inspector" instead of having a little button in the formatting bar. but in every other way, i find keynote to be MUCH easier to use. and it has other features that powerpoint doesn't have. plus iwork is very inexpensive compared to microsoft office. finally, if you are near an apple store, they have free seminars on iWork fairly often. the 1st time i used keynote, i went to the apple store workshop and got a few answers. just see how easy it is to get person to person help for microsoft office...
the only other game in town are the various releases of the open source programs, "open office" and "neo office". they are free, also read and write ppt files, but are a little harder to use than keynote and don't have as many features.
anyway, that's my experience.
good luck!

I use keynote 5.1 and am bombarded with popups asking me to update to KN 6. I tried 6 after upgrading to Maverick. Do not like it.

I use keynote 5.1 and love it. I tried Keynote 6 and do not like it.
My problem is that I am bombarded by popups asking me to
update to Keynote 6
This reduce my work speed to a snails pace.
Would be most delighted to find a solution to the problem.
Thanks

Is there a sim in the iPhone?
Has the iPhone been jailbroken or modified to work with other

If you can get that far, what does it say when you look at

I'm using that configuration and it works for me. There have been some reports of kernel panics with FileVault and SSD's. The cause is unknown. Chances are you'll be fine, but make good backups.

I have an issue using Lighting Effects in Adobe Photoshop CC 2014

Hello everyone,
I am having issues using Lighting Effects in Adobe Photoshop CC 2014. I created a duplicate layer that I want to do the effects on, converted it to a smart object and on that same layer went to Filter>Render>Lighting Effects to get to the Lighting Effects screen. When adjusting the parameters (drag/reshape the lights) for either the spotlight or point light, I don't see any changes. Can someone tell me what could be the issue or if I'm doing the steps wrong to apply the effects?
Here are my specs:
Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (6.1, Build 7601) Service Pack 1 (7601.win7sp1_gdr.140303-2144)
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600S CPU @ 2.80GHz (8 CPUs), ~2.8GHz
Memory: 8192MB RAM
Available OS Memory: 8174MB RAM
Card name: AMD Radeon HD 6570
Manufacturer: ATI Technologies Inc.
Display Memory: 743 MB
Dedicated Memory: 1008 MB
Shared Memory: 3831 MB

I am experiencing flickering issues as well. However my issues are with the Fast Color Corrector and the Three Way Color Corrector. It seems as if the color correction tools are causing intermittent flickering on some people's systems.
Additionally when I converted some old PPCC 7.2.2 projects which had the Three Way Color Corrector applied, some clips in sequences would come up as a green screen in the program monitor. If I turned the TWCC off the footage would display correctly in the program window. If I turn the TWCC back on it would display the green screen again.
I haven't found a solution to the flickering but to solve the green screen issue I have to remove the effect, then re apply it. I guess for whatever reason, the 2014 version of PP has issues with 7.2.2 projects where the TWCC was applied.
I'm hoping Adobe will address this soon with an update for the various bugs that have been reported.
