Slide show on second monitor?

Hello,
I would like to play a slide show on a second monitor (in this case, a TV I have set up viewable by the customer). I've played with the settings in the view menu for the secondary monitor, but the best I can seem to do is get Aperture to play every other slide on the primary monitor, and every other other slide on the TV.
Any ideas? can it be done? Seems like an obvious feature needs to show photos to clients.
THanks,
Allan

Well, you can't get the browser on the second monitor, but you can mirror the viewer on the second monitor. That at least let's you show one pictures at a time to the client.
I'm hopeful that Apple will add some slide show capabilities to Aperture, at least to the level of iPhoto. If not, I will have to export the pictures and use one of the myriad tools to create a decent slide show.
I suppose I can mirror the monitor as the OS level for the slide show, but that seems to really mess up my finder on the main window when I un-mirror.

Keynote 6.0 won't show on second monitor

I have update to Mavericks and Keynote 6.0. I'm on a 15 inch Early 2011 MacBook Pro, and connected to a LG Display via VGA through the Apple VGA adapter. When I try to play a slideshow, it only shows on the Mac Book Pro with the Presenter display behind it. I tried clicking the switch monitors thing, but that does nothing except get rid of the Presenter display behind the show. I hit the 'x' key to get the presenter display back. I looked in preferences and other places, but I do not see a seting to show the show oon the other monitor. The Apple help files are no help at all. The weird thing that happens, is that I can drag the keynote app to the second monitor and hit "play" and it will work with the presenter display on the second monitor and the show on the MacBBook Pro. Hitting 'x' gives the desired result, but when connecting to our projection system, or monitor, we do not want the app on the second monitor. For what it's wooth, Power Point does work (Office 2011) as desired. My question is; How do I fix Keynote to work properly?

I was teaching my first class post-Mavericks upgrade and was having a fit finding out, in front of my class of 33 graduate students, that my projection set-up wasn't working. I had read something about getting rid of the menu bar on a secondary display in Mavericks and decided to try it. Since then, I've also read that assigning Keynote to all desktops, with the "Displays have separate spaces" box checked, might also do the trick, but I won't have a chance to test this until Monday afternoon. Glad you got it working!

Dock Not Showing on Second Monitor

Dock is only showing on one of two monitors in setup - when I click to second monitor, it doesn't show up as it has in the past. On Friday after install, it was. Setting somewhere? Any insight is appreciated.

This could be a bug.
Could you test with Firefox's use of hardware acceleration disabled? There are two way to do that:
(1) Temporarily run Firefox in its Safe Mode<br>
(2) Turn off the setting in Firefox's regular mode.
For #1:
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
''Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still run''
After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
Your non-private windows and tabs should be restored (unless you have Firefox set not to save any history).
Any difference?
(To return to normal mode, exit Firefox and start it again normally.)
For #2:
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the "General" mini-tab, uncheck the box for "Use hardware acceleration when available"
This takes effect after you exit and start Firefox the next time.

Suggestion menus not showing on second monitor. Firefox 29.0.1

After upgrading to version 29.0.1 i can't see the drop down suggestion menus on my second monitor.
The menus show as just a small black line.
This seems to happen on my secondary monitor on all fields in websites, logins, and the search bar.
The menus still function, I can move through values with the arrow keys.
I'm Windows 8.1, Intel HD Graphics 3000.
The primary monitor works ok.
Here are some examples

Connecting a second monitor to a iMac27

I have a problem with my new iMac27 displaying through a second monitor.
The second display monitor is a Samsung Syncmaster 225BW.
I 'm using an Apple Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter cable out of the iMac and connecting to the second display via an HDMI cable to a DVI-HDMI adaptor.
When I go into Monitor Settings it shows the second monitor okay but there is no display showing on the Samsung monitor.
To test the cables and setup I connected the same cable setup into my MacAir laptop and the display shows up okay on the second monitor confirming there is nothing wrong with the connectors.
Can anyone kindly help?

for me this almost sounds like it could be a damaged mini display port on your imac. normally attaching a second monitor is just plug&play. and since you say OS X is correctly recognizing the display, this could be MDP/graphic card issue. is the imac still under warranty? if so, you might wanna call the apple support and if they know nothing then you will probably have to give your imac into repair

27" ACD as second monitor -- cannot adjust brightness

I've connected a 27" LED ACD to my 27" iMac as a second monitor, but the keyboard commands for adjusting brightness do not affect the cinema display. I understand a common cause for this is that the USB isn't connected, but mine is and I can verify it is working because I have an external HD connected to the USB port of the ACD, and the iMac recognizes that it is connected.
Also, if I go into Display Preferences then I do see the Brightness slider for the second monitor. This is currently the only way I can adjust the brightness of that monitor.

True, Unless there's a shortcut for that, the only way to adjust the brightness of the second monitor is by using the display preferences . same here with a MBP / 27" display.

The Mac uses a highly-parameterized universal Driver for every display. The parameters are set at certain times when a query is sent to your display. The display MUST answer with its name and capabilities, or the screen stays dark. A TV set that is off or "not paying attention" because it is set to a different port when the query occurs will rarely answer, and so will often remain dark.
You can use tools in the System Report to see whether your display has been detected at all. If it has, the report will look something like this, but its name will appear:
The times when the query is sent are:
• at Startup
• at wake from sleep
• when the Mac-end of the cable is inserted
• when using the Option ( Detect Displays ) button in displays preferences

My Apple TV stops and returns to main menu during movie playback and photo slide show via homesharing. I have a second Apple TV in another room that works fine.

Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel.

Second monitor only shows when I open PPRO a second time.

CS5 WIN7 - 64 Pro
Looking for a suggestion /solution to an issue I have had for some while.
I have the latest Nvidia Drivers for QuadroFX3800 but the issue began at least two previous versions ago.
I open PPRO and it does not see the second monitor. It is not an option in the Playback settings. (Not even there / Not greyed out)
In fact it shows an image briefly (flashes on then off) on the second monitor then turns it off (ie. the image going to it from the source monitor.)
I shut out of PPRO and re open it almost immediately. Bingo. 2nd monitor shows and its is also an option in the PB menu.

I think I'm right in sayng that Mosaic has been added to the latest driver, 267.05 - the ability to stretch the desktop across 2 monitors. I haven't been aware of it before.
I say that because, having toyed with Mosiac, I noticed that PP CS5 did flicker a few times upon boot in a way that it didn't on earlier nVidia releases.
It seems to have settled down now.
Am I not right in thinking, shoternz, that you are using the 2nd monitor as your preview, rather than program monitor? Maybe there's a corrolation.
Get your BM Intensity Pro out of the cupboard!

How do I edit out the first 20 seconds of music in an Aperture slide show?

I don't want to use the first 20 seconds of a piece of music in a slide show. How do I start the music 20 seconds into the song? Thanks.

Since no one else has answered, here is my solution:
I use a free program called Audacity http://audacity.sourceforge.net
I export the track from iTunes, trim with Audacity and then re-import the new version back to iTunes (".trimmed)" so that it appears in Aperture music selection.
(I have no connection/investment whatsoever of any kind in the developer of Audacity!)

Second button on menu for slide show does not work.

Anyone else having problems with this? Despite three separate attempts using different photos, different Macs and different themes... it is always the second button (to access the second folder) in the slide show that does not work. It fails to access the slides in the folder.
Our conclusion finally was that this is a bug, so we used only text buttons and put the second button over to the side of the main menu with just a period in it, and one image in the folder (it will not allow a folder without any images) and then we can skip from the first button to the third (seen on the screen as the second button) and bypass the problem.
Has anyone come up with an explanation or a better solution?

I have a macbookpro with a second monitor connected using an Apple connector. The two screens show different parts of the desktop. My cat walked across the keyboard, and now the two monitors are showing the same thing. How do I undo what the cat did?

Have you tried HELP in FINDER? If you open HELP and enter 'displays' in the field in the upper right hand corner you will get a list of topics on setting up monitors. Specifically read 'Setting up multiple displays to show the same image' and 'Setting up multiple displays as an extended desktop'.
Ciao.

Reducing slide show timing below 1 second

I wanted to use the slide show option for my students' stop action photo projects. 1 second is the smallest option. They need 0.5 or 0.3 to make the projects fit their music. iMovie kept freezing, so we just left them in iPhoto. Can the timing be reduced?

No. For that kind of fine detail you really should be using a timeline based movie editor. Check out Final Cut Express.
