Sudden Change to Slide Show Display/Presenter View Greyed Out

Two weeks ago powerpoint was acting normally. I would come into class, hook my netbook up to the projector, set my monitor output option to extended desktop and start my slideshow in presenter view. This morning I went into class and I was unable to use
presenter view. It was greyed out. I had to clone the displays and wing it without my notes. Also, the slideshow itself *looked* different. There was an orange menu bar at the bottom that I could not get rid of. Has this happened to anyone else?

Hi Michelle,
Do you mean the "Use Presenter View" option under "SLIDE SHOW" tab on the ribbon is greyed out for you?
When you are in the "Slide Show" mode, please try to right click on the slide and see if you can select the "Show Presenter View" from the context menu.
Have you ever made any changes to your computer recently? You might want to try installing any required updates, including updating your graphic card driver to the latest version, then try again.
"There was an orange menu bar at the bottom..." - Is it possible to share a screenshot of it with us? You can send the file to this email account:

  • I am using using IDVD to create slide shows.  When viewed on my computer the pictures are clear and of high quality.  When I burn the slide show to a disk and play it back, the pictures are blurry and of poor quality.

    I am using IDVD to create slide shows.  When viewed on my computer, the pictures are clear and of high quality.  When I burn the slide show to a disk and play it back, the pictures are blury and of poor quality.  Is there a setting that controls the quality of the burn and if there is, where do I find it?  Thank you.

    The Mac software - iPhoto, iMovie, and iDVD are not the best with the Ken Burns effect (zoom in/out effect), so you might want to minimize that effect; also, if your subjects are wearing stripes for instance, that will have an effect if you zoom. There is better software available for slideshows; however, I do not know of any that is free (and does a good job). I've used Photo to Movie for some time; it does a fine job even in HD, but you have to pay for it. I use iDVD extensively, but only to add a menu, theme, special effects, etc. and then to burn it.

  • Changes in slide show on DVD

    1.I made a slide show with Photoshop Elements 4 and burn it to a DVD-RW with Premiere Elements. After several try it works.All 750 photos with transitions are there and I saw it on T.V.
    2 Back in PE4, I made some changes in the slideshow and save it.I understand these changes are not automatically transfer in Premiere.
    3.Question:how can I also modify the version in Premiere?Do I have to start all over again and burn a new DVD or is there another way to do it.?
    4.Question: looking the DVD in Premiere I noticed many photos are missing in the assembly at the bottom of the screen but I can view all in the center of the screen.Why?
    Thanks for help.

    >Do I have to start all over again and burn a new DVD or is there another way to do it.?
    I think that the simplest approach will be to burn a new DVD using the same process from PSE 4. You say you used a DVD-RW so I think you can burn again on the same disc; I have done it with a DVD+RW.
    In theory you could modify the Premiere Elements timeline to reproduce the same changes that you made in the PSE 4 slideshow - but you would still need to burn to DVD again. If do you start again from PSE 4 then I think you will need to redo any DVD menus you made in PE2.
    >looking the DVD in Premiere I noticed many photos are missing in the assembly at the bottom of the screen but I can view all in the center of the screen.Why?
    When you look at your show in Premiere, it has already been made in to a video so they are no longer individual slides. I suspect that the fact that you are not seeing all of the photos is because of the scale that is being used by default to display the timeline of the video in Premiere Elements. If you zoom in on that timeline, I think you should be able to see individual photos. I think that there is a scale setting that you can change for the timeline - but I don't immediately recall what it is.
    For more detailed answers to these questions you might try the Premiere Elements forum because there are multiple participants on that forum who know PSE 4 and PE2.

  • Trouble adding iTunes songs to slide show displays

    When displaying a group of photos in a slide show (view photos in full screen), I am unable to use my iTunes songs. I know how to "browse" and add the sample music from my music files (and that works fine), but it won't work w/my iTunes songs. I click on the iTunes file and it shows me the artists. I can then click on the folder and choose one of the songs. However, when I try to "Select" or "Open" the song, the title of the song disappears and it reads "No items match your search".
    I am able to open and listen to my iTunes songs when I am not in PSE. I have PSE 7, and am new to PSE.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    My guess is that your songs in iTunes are not in a file format that PSE can use - what format are they? And they might also have DRM (digital rights) restrictions.
    I suggest that you try using iTunes to burn an mp3 file of one of the songs that you wish to use and then try that mp3 file in the PSE slide show.

  • Skipped Slides Show On Presenter Screen?

    HI
    While building a presentation I'd like to  be able to create a group of slides that are normally skipped in during playback, but if I'm asked for more detail I can make them apprear.
    I figure that having them show up as ltiile thumbnails in the presenter view so I can see them ( and remember they are avaialable!)  associated with a click or keystrroke to access thewm if required, would be great. I don't think this is possible ,  but does anyone have a workaround or something?
    I thought of having different versions of the presentation to switch to dring the talk, but that seems extreme...
    Thnaks in advance
    Lee

    You could put the optional slides at the end of the presentation with a hyperlink to them in the appropriate non-optional slide. Put another hyperlink in the last of the optional slides to take you back to where you left off.

  • Slide show unable to view on a IMAC... any ideas?

    Hi ,
    I made a slide show on my pc and uploaded to website and shared (e-mail link) to family on a I MAC. They are unable to view. Any idea's?
    Thank you

    They probably need to install this. It's free and it lets macs see .wmv files:
    http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/17787/flip4mac-wmv-player
    Another possiblity is that their version of flash is too old:
    http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/?promoid=BUIGP
    Finally, you don't say which version of OS X they're using, but there have been imac models for well over ten years now, so their machine/operating system could also just be too old.

  • Slide show display is very small

    Every time I go play the slid shows on my page they display small like a thumbnail. Any clue why? How can I fix this?

    I don't use iWeb and I'm not so sure that you will have much success finding a solution here. You should probably post your question in the iWeb forum. That is the application where the slideshow is created so my guess is that the issue is there not on the iPad.

  • Firefox suddenly changes to very basic text only view

    When I'm on the internet e.g. doing shopping on Ocado.com the internet suddenly changes to a very simple text only type of layout (i'm no tech whizz - it looks like a word document rather than an internet page?) I don't know whether this is Firefox or something else on my new laptop. Please can anyone give me a tip?
    Thanks

    thank you! I will try that

  • Is any slide show displays the photo description?

    Is it possible to show the photo description in the slide show presentaion? Recently I've been in Sao Paulo and there were so many historical places (imigrants, cultural, contemporany architeture) that i would like to share on my slideshows.

    Hi Terry.
    Another way to access the Slideshow Options is to start the slideshow with Control+L and then hit 'L' again - this pauses the slideshow and brings up the caption info, etc. Ian.

  • HT201306 I can not change the "media kind" because it's greyed out.  How do I get past this problem?

    I can't change the "media kind" to book from music because this option is greyed out.  How can I change this so I can view the digital booklet that should have come with my "delux" purchase?

    Does this happen with all media in iTunes or just that one specific track?
    If it happens with everything, try following along with turingtest2's fix in this thread -> Information boxes grayed out
    The Music folder that those files are stored in might be locked or your user account may not have complete access.
    If it only happens with one track, try importing it into iTunes again or redownloading it.

  • Design view greyed out

    Hello
    I have this css file and i can only view the code, when I try to click on the design view its greyed out. This wasnt the case last week when I could view it fine. Can anyone help me? Thanks

    There is nothing to see in design view in a css file, it is always grayed out.  Perhaps you were working with embedded css instead of a css file.

  • Cannot change "Local Items" keychain password, menu is greyed out

    I have a Macosx linked to ActiveDirectory. Recently I had to change my AD password, which went fine, apart from the "Local Items" keychain. This keychain kept the old password.
    So everytime I login I get a few popups for different applications requesting the password for "Local Items". I have to enter the old password a number of times.
    If I go into Keychain Access, I can unlock this keychain. But I can't reset the password because the menu Edition \ Modify the password is greyed out.
    Does anybody know how I can change this password?
    iCloud is disabled on this iMac, and Repairing the keychain didn't find any problem.

    This is an easy fix. i called apple and they fixed it.  Go to finder, then  GO tab and click the option near command on keyboard and a link library will pop up in list and then click library,  scroll to find keychain and put it on your desktop and restart computer. You only have to log in one time and then delete keychain off desktop. something happened w maverick and it corrupted the file.
