Second display show non-Keynote application windows?

I use Citrix' GoToWebinar and would like to use Keynote to give presentations with a two-display setup.
Citrix' GoToMeeting application (which is what you use to give a webinar) shows useful information such as who is online viewing, and it enables you to chat with other presenters.
The problem is, in Play mode, none of Keynote's settings seem to let me use the GoToMeeting console. They either blank out the second window or display Keynote's presenter widgets.
As a workaround, I've been using Preview. I save the presentation as a PDF then use Preview's slideshow mode to display it. I can run the Citrix GoToMeeting application on my second monitor and all is well.
But I'd really rather do this from Keynote if possible. If there is a way, please let me know.
Thanks,
Dave

Brian,
Thanks for this suggestion. It covers 90% of the situation. The remaining 10% has turned into a burr under my saddle.
The other 10% is that when we click the enable expose (and other apps) keynote preference, this also activates the app Front Row. Which in turn means that when the apple remote's menu button is pushed during a keynote presentation, the front row app pops up, instead of keynote's slide chooser at the top of the screen.
Which means when I use gotomeeting I can't skip slides via keynotes.
I don't mean to sound ungrateful, or to make a big deal out a subtly, but during presentations, it can be very important to a successful pitch to be able to back up and go forward to exactly where the client wants to be, without having to click through all the other slides and or builds.
Any ideas?

  • Windows 10: Second display "turns off" in lock screen

    Unfortunately some of these quirks are why people don't upgrade straight away, on the plus side by having over 14M people upgrade in less than 2 days MS now has a lot of faults found and fixes to work on - quickly. We hope.
    That said I have a dual screen setup and my monitors retain the screen space settings.
    The fact yours is a laptop maybe indicative of your issue - does your laptop have dual graphics,  e.g. one for high use games and one for low use 2D?
    Does it turn off 3D settings - it may not be a Windows 10 thing but more of a setting that has defaulted.

    I don't recall having this problem with Win 7 Pro, just upgraded to 10 pro a few days ago.I have an HP Probook 450 G2 (with up-to-date graphics driver) and a dual monitor setup. Main display is on HDMI and second display is on VGA. When I lock my laptop (Win+L), it seems to "turn off" the second display and shifts any applications I had in the second display to the main display.While a relatively small issue, it is rather annoying to have to drag applications back over to the second display when I resume working.It doesn't seem to happen right away though, nor does it seem to trigger when display is set to sleep at 20 minutes. I'm not sure how else to explain this. I've found posts of a similar nature on Spiceworks and other forums, but nothing seems to help.Thispostis from a while ago and is related to Win 7, but does seem to describe...

  • The 'drag to application' window keeps popping up when I open up Firefox on my Macbook

    I just purchased a Macbook and downloaded Firefox a few days ago. At first it showed a Firefox application window for me to drag into the App folder. After doing that everytime I log onto my computer and open Firefox browser, the ' Drag Firefox Application' still pops up. It gets annoying at times how am I able to stop this?
    Thanks

    I discovered that Flash gets disabled after making this about:config change. Firefox claims that Flash is "out of date" when the latest version is installed. So if you use Flash, this tweak won't work.
    I don't really need my browser telling me what I can and can't run...

  • Lion won't display multiple application windows at once

    I apologize in advance if someone else has already posted this problem, but I've searched and searched and found nothing on it. It's a hard one to describe, so bear with me.
    Basically, since installing Lion (currently 10.7.4) on my home iMac, I've been unable to have windows for more than one application appear at one time. For the most part, applications run just fine. But say I have Adobe Illustrator open and want to drag an image from a folder in Finder into my document. The second I select Finder from the Dock, Illustrator disappears. Click back on Illustrator from the dock, and it reappears, but now my Finder window has gone AWOL. Seems like it's all still there, just becomes invisible. At no time will it display more than one application. Two windows of the same application? No problem. But any time I switch between apps, it shows only the most recently selected app, regardless of what's actually running on my machine. Makes dragging and dropping from one app to another near impossible.
    I've read about problems regarding apps becoming invisible, but virtually all posts say they also become unresponsive (ie. don't come back at all when reselected from the Dock), and that quitting and restarting the app generally fixes the problem. This isn't the case for me. Quitting and restarting does nothing. Even a fresh install of Lion did nothing. I find it hard to imagine this could be a hardware issue though. My iMac works perfectly otherwise, and this behaviour is just bizarre. Consequently, I haven't ruled out the possibility of demonic possesion, but I figured if anyone can help solve this riddle, it's all you lovely people.
    As for my current settings, I have no desktops/spaces setup (aside from the one), and have turned off all associated features for Mission Control in the System Preferences – more out of an attempt to simplify in the hopes that it would help than out of any dislike for the features. The iMac itself is a 20-inch, early 2008 with 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo and 4 GB SDRAM.
    Really don't know where else to turn. I've got my finger crossed that the problem will fade into memory once Mountain Lion is released, but that leaves me high and dry until then (which ***** the big one). Any help would result in my undying gratitude! Heck, help me solve this and I'll mail you a beer!

    That sounds like somehow the Single Application Mode has been turned on.  I don't know the Terminal command to turn it off, but the free 3rd-party application TinkerTool has it. 
    For some reason, it's on the Dock page:
    If it's checked, remove it. 
    If it's not checked, check it, Relaunch, then remove the check.

    I have had trouble finding an adapter to use to convert this to VGA (which is what I meed to connect my second monitor). I've searched the Apple Store online to no avail, as well as Google. Perhaps I've had no luck because I don't know the name of this part.
    Any help is much appreciated!

    Hello! Does the port look like the one below? If so you'll need an adapter. Tom
    Actually, HERE is the page i was looking for that shows and describes all dvi connections.

  • Why do some computers running Firefox 6.02 only display 5 or 6 applications in the "applications" tab under "options" and others show about 25?

    I am running Firefox 6.0.2 on several computers and on several of them the applications tab under "options" only shows 5 or 6 applications while another shows 20-25 applications including PDF which is what I am interested in. How can I get applications to appear on this menu?
    All of the computers in questions are running Windows XP Pro. On the computer with the limited menu if I attempt to download a PDF copy of my bank statement Mozilla opens the PDF rather than opening it with my PDF program. If I attempt to save the file or print it, Mozilla crashes. On the computer which lists all of the apps on the application tab the PDF opens normally using the program which I have selected for opening that file type.

    You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
    *Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
    You need to close and restart Firefox after toggling this setting.

    You can check if there is an update for your graphics display driver.

  • Firefox 4 stops opening new windows after browser window dragged to second display

    Firefox 4 stops opening new windows after browser window dragged to second display. It's weird. Behavior is fine until I drag any browser window to the attached second display, and after this point it stops opening new windows but will still open new tabs in the same window. Restart fixes it until I drag the window back to the second display.
    "Show all bookmarks" stops working too--won't open a new window.
    This is after clean reinstall with total deletion of any Firefox/Mozilla folders and the previously installed app and a restart of the computer.
    Mac OS X 10.6.7
    Firefox 4

    Pretty sure this is either:
    '''Bug 644733'''
    or
    '''Bug 609405'''

  • Window dragging issues on second display

    Hello everyone,
    I have secondary display with 1920x1200 resolution and rotated 90° (portrait mode) connected to MB Pro early 2011. After updating to Mountain Lion from AppStore I faced with quite annoying effect on this display: when I drag any window over the desktop it's moving quite jerky. Also all system menus (dis)appearing with pulsing effect. When I drag any window to desktop on MacBook display - everything is smooth and OK.
      Also I noticed that during desktop video capturing (using quicktime) overall perfomance degrades significantly: mouse cursor moves lazily, windows movements are really slow.
      I'm feeling that this is serious software problem.
      Is this known issue? Could someone reproduce it? Any workaround?
    HW: MB Pro early 2011,
    OS: Mac OS X Mountain Lion,
    Secondary display: Dell U2412M, 1920x1200, connected through DisplayPort input.

    Try repairing your permissions.  Go to applications then to the "other" folder then go to disk utility, on the left hand side you will see a white box.  Select the second option, usually called "mac HD" with that selected click on "repair permissions" in the center towards the bottom of the screen.  Wait for it to complete, then see if this fixes the issue.

    i. Ensure the machine is powered off.
    ii. Locate the following keys on your keyboard in preparation for Step 4:
    ‘command’ – ‘option’ – ‘P’ – ‘R’
    iii. Press the ‘power on’ button.
    iv. Immediately – and before the grey screen appears – hold down ‘command-option-P-R’ all together.
    v. Keep them held down until you’ve heard the start-up chime twice. After you release them you should hear it again, and hopefully your Mac will boot up normally.

  • Displaying all application windows through Hot Corners is no longer working.

    I have my MacBook Pro and my iMac setup to display APPLICATION WINDOWS through the upper right HOT CORNER.   It is no longer working on my iMac.  Instead, the system only displays the top/recent used window.  The display separates and shows the most recent window floating, but, no longer does it arrange windows of each application on the desktop.  There are no other options, it's either set in HOT CORNERS or not.   What changed?   It still works on my MacBook.  Version update = 10.10.2 (14C1514)

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • Screen sharing shows a second display

    I have installed a graphics card in my Xserve G5, an ATI Radeon 9200, with a monitor attached with the DVI-cable. When I use Screen Sharing or ARD, then it shows two monitors, the second (without the monitor) being of a lower resolution. I have tried to mirror these, but then I only get the lower resolution. How do I get rid of the fake second display? Once a window gets over there, then I have to use Screen Sharing to relocate it and place it back on the real monitor. Frustrating.

    Hi,
    Change the resolution on the Older OS.
    It is the only workaround we have found at the moment.

  • How do I change to another application while showing a keynote without exiting?

    I want to change to another application (VLC) while showing my Keynote and do not want to stop the show just chaneg back and forth.  How can I do that?

    Michael,
    Have Vlc or whichever app you will leave keYnote for sitting behind the slide display before you start your show. This could include a browser with multiple tabs so you can slickly move around the web even if you don't have an Internet connection at your site. Just make sure you set it up before you leave for the presentation.
    Now, when you're ready to leave keynote to play in vlc, hit the H key on the keyboard to hide keynote and bring vlc to the front. If you can see you dock keynote will appear with an arrow in it to indicate it is in hide mode. Just click on it to once more bring keynote back to the frontmost app, usually back into your presentation.
    Some of the more fancy remote control devices can let you map the H button so you don't need to be at the keyboard for this to happen.

  • When running windows in vmware fusion how do I extend my windows desktop to my second display

    I am running Windows 7 x64 Enterprise in a VMware  session session on my MacBook pro.  I was just given a second thunderbolt display today and I want to be able to extend my desktop when running the windows VM.  When the VM is shut down it's working perfectly and awesome.  However when I'm logged into and working with in the VM, I'm limited to only using one display.  It would be very helpful to be able to extend to the second screen as I need to run 3-4 nearly full screen apps at once and would like to utilize this second display.

    You might get better results raising that question in the VMware Fusion forum. I don't have two monitors so I can't test anything but a quick check on that forum for that question gave: "Normally if a user wants to use two monitors with a VM, they can select "Use All Displays in Full Screen" in Full screen mode."

  • Second display won't work on mac partition but works on windows

    Hey I have a 21.5" imac from mid 2011 and have recently update to OS X Mavericks.
    I bought a mini dp to hdmi to connect a second monitor up to my imac a month or so ago. At the time I was running 10.6.8 and thought that may be why it wasn't picking up the second display.
    All the while the second monitor has been working fine on my windows 7 partition.
    Hoping anyone can shed some light on this.

  • Adding a non apple 1080p monitor as second display to 2011 iMac 27"

    Looking to add a second display to my new iMac but cant afford another thunderbolt screen. What is the best port and then cable to use to connect a non Apple 1080p slave monitor? I assume DVI or HDMI on the slave monitor side but what port on the iMac side? only choices are USB, Firewire, & Thunderbolt. Advice much appreciated!

    Thunderbolt is based on DisplayPort technology and a Mini DisplayPort adapter plugs right into the Thunderbolt port. So depending on your monitors connection, you most likely will need a Mini-DVI to HDMI or Mini-DVI to DVI adapter.
