Swipe back during keynote presentation

Hi everyone,
I understand that in Mac OS, when I am presenting a keynote presentation, hitting the "[" button (during a slide with several builds) on the keyboard moves the presentation to the previous "build" while hitting the left arrow button moves the presentation to the beginning to the current slide.
When making the same presentation in my iPad, swiping back causes the presentation to move to the beginning to the current slide.
May I know what action is required to move the presentation to the previous "build" (equivalent to hitting the "[" button on the keyboard)?
Thanks!

I don't believe that Keynote records the mouse movements when recording a presentation -- a recorded presentation is not an actual screen capture. If you need this kind of capability, you may want to look at using a third-party screen capture application like ScreenFlow ($99, but highly recommended, as it allows a lot of post-recording editing options), iShowU ($30), Snapz Pro X ($69).

Want to enable screensaver during keynote presentation

Hi there,
As a feature, Keynote stops the screensaver from activating during a presentation. I actually want to override this feature.
I have a boardroom setup with a Mac mini connected to a Plasma TV. Sometimes a slide will be left on for upto 4 hours and i'd like to avoid screen burn. I've also tried to activate hotcorners to invoke the screensaver with a mouse, but this doesn't work either.
Any help with this would be great. Not sure if it can be achieved though.

I don't believe that is possible without quitting the slideshow. As an alternative, you can press b to show a black screen or w to show a white screen. Then press any key and you will go right back to where you were in the slideshow.

Possible to annotate/markup *during* keynote presentation?

All,
One feature that would be extremely useful would be the ability to draw lines on a slide during a presentation - and the ability to save that markup (indeed, it is a deal breaker for moving to keynote). Sketches are very important for conveying geology ideas - and I prefer to build up the sketches during the presentation using a tablet (wacom).
Sincerely,

Welcome to the forums!
Keynote does not have a native ability to draw directly on presented slides. There are various applications that will allow screen drawing (see this review and this application, for example), but you would have to arrange to save the drawings separately and then add them to the presentation later.
If you know what you want to draw, however, you might be able to do this ahead of time with builds.

Can we use Spaces during Keynote presentation?

Every time when I am giving presentations using the Keynote, I think I really need the Spaces function because I sometimes want to show actual applications for demo. But it seems the presentation screen is locked and I can't use the function, so I must get out of the presentation. Obviously it doesn't look neat. Does anyone know how to? Maybe there is some third party utility for that...

There is no way to remove the Finder (or any running app) from the list. However, If you Command-Tab from App 1 to App 2, then when you press Command-Tab a second time App 1 will then be selected in the list. Also, if you quickly press and release Command-Tab, it will bring forward the next selected item, without having to navigate the list. Putting these two facts together, if you set up your presentation so that you Command-Tab to the second app, then Command-Tab to Keynote, you can then toggle back and forth between these two apps with a single quick Command-Tab press, with no risk of invoking the Finder.

Using keynote presentation on projector have had brief loss of signal

I have changed projector and iPad and still experience during keynote presentation a brief loss of signal to projector.
This happens at random and keynote presentation restarts on projector. Tried every source to help and followed all advice and it still
happens at random. Can play a movie using same gear no problem at all; Please Help.

Please do not type in all caps, that is considered shouting on a public forum and also rude which I am sure is not your intent. I would also suggest reposting in the Keynot forum, that is where the Keynote gurus are likely to be.
Good luck.

Is there a way to either run a "Score" thing in Keynote, or a text box that can be typed in during the presentation?

Is there a way to either run a "Score" thing in Keynote, or a text box that can be typed in during the presentation?

Keynote does not have this function.
The only way to do this is to use an annotation application. Google and find the cost and functionality you need, many have trial downloads.

Project something on the bottom of the screen DURING a Keynote presentation?

I need to be able to project something on the bottom of the screen DURING a Keynote presentation. Is that possible? At our church we have a numbering system for parents/kids and occassionaly we need to project the number so the parent can go check on their child. How can we do that during an active Keynote presentation?

Can isight be used during a keynote presentation?

can i use my isight on my macbook during a presentation? or anything remotely close to this idea?

What is it that you want to do? Do you want to play live video directly in a Keynote presentation (as in have it on a slide)? Or would using Expose to flip to an iSight window be sufficient?
Since you can insert Quartz Compositions into Keynote, and since Quartz Compositions can theoretically include live video, you might be able to go that route, although I don't know if there are any limitations of QCs in Keynote that would prevent this.

How can I get back to my Keynote presentation once I've linked to a website?

I've created a Keynote presentation. On one slide, I have a link to a relevant Vimeo video on the web. It gets there seamlesly. However, when the 4 minute video is done playing, I can't return to my presentation. If I "x" out of Safari, my Keynote is gone. I've tried hitting esc but that doesn't work either.
Thanks for your help.

Use application switcher to display Keynote ; (command tab) press the command key then tap the tab key then release.

Is there a way to toggle to a web browser while in Keynote presenter view?

I teach at a number of research classes at a University and I prefer to use Keynote as a teaching tool. My teaching requires that I access websites regularly throughout the the class.
Here is what I'm currently doing:
1. Before the class starts, I open each website we'll be using during the class as window and assign the window to it's own desktop. So if I have four websites the students will be accessing during class, I'll assign those four websites to four distinct Mission Control desktops (I'm using the 10.8.4 OS X).
2. I run my presentiation from Keynote using the play key, but without access presentation mode.
3. When I need to access a website while teaching, I [ALT]-[TAB] out of Keynote, select the appropriate page from Mission Control, and demo that page.
4. When I'm done, I simply click the Keynote icon in the dock and resume my presentation.
This system works and I have no real complaints with it - except that I cannot take advantage of Keynote's presentation tools. I've tried any number of ways to toggle to a web browser while in presention mode without success. While in presentation mode, if I [ALT]-[TAB] out of the presentation, it simply stops the presentation and the web page doesn't appear on the projection display (because I'm not mirroring my displays) and the only way to get it to work is to re-mirror my displays.
I tried using the X command in Keynote, which is the toggle between displays, but no matter what I did, I cannot get the webpage to show up on the projection display.
Is there an easier way to do this? Bear in mind, I'm not merely showing webpages, but I'm actually interacting with them (performing research on these pages) so they have to be operational. Right now I'm assuming presentation mode is just not going to work for this kind of scenario.
Thanks for any suggestions.

place as many shapes as you need on a slide and create a hyperlinks to your website
Keynote preferences > slide show; select > allow Expose and others to use screen
select the shape and in Inspector > Hyperlink; select the enable as hyperlink box, then type in the address
use alt > tab to go back to Keynote
before playing Keynote, open and move the web browser on to the projector screen to position it ready for use

How to avoid slide rebuild when switching back to Keynote?

We're doing a presentation in which we occasionally Cmd-Tab switch from Keynote to Safari to demonstrate the features of a Web application. Many of our slides use the nice Keynote builds.
When switching back to Keynote, though, the slide being displayed rebuilds instead of simply appearing as it was when switched away. So if we show a slide that fades in three bullet points over 10 seconds, switch to Safari to show the feature we talked about, and then switch back to go on to the next slide, we have to wait for the entire 10-second build again.
We've tried using Spaces instead of Cmd-Tab to switch to Safari, but Keynote seems to grab on to all of the hotkeys. Ctrl-Option-Arrows and Ctrl-Option-Numbers during Keynote playback don't switch spaces, but change slides instead.
One clunky solution we're considering is adding a static (non-built) copy of each slide where we switch to the demo -- that is, we present over the build, then proceed to the copy before switching away. This might work, but if questions come up and we need to switch to Safari during any other slide with a build, we're still coming back to a repeated build.
Is there an option we've missed that prevents re-building the slide when Keynote "gets focus" again?
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer!

I don't think you can go back to the end of a slide with builds - after the builds have finished. So your "clunky" solution, = some kind of similar workaround, may be your only option. I've just worked out another one which might work visually for you, but also "clunky".
The idea is to always go from your slide, wherever you happen to be in your presentation, first to a static slide which looks like a Safari window (made from a screen shot), and from there to real Safari. You can do this easily by adding a hyperlink on all your slides to that one (if you want it on all your slides, put it on the master). When you're done with real Safari you'll come back to the same faux-Safari slide. That's the easy part.
Now, you want to get back to the right place in your presentation. This is more complicated, depending on how many slides you have in all, or at least, slides from which you may want to go demonstrate Safari again. Put hyperlinks on your faux-Safari slide, each one leading to the slide you want to continue from, or even a link to each and every one of your slides. Obviously, this might be unworkable with a huge presentation, but, with a little graphic fiddling, and some presentation practice, it might work.

How can I export a Keynote presentation to Quicktime while maintaining my set transitions?

I try to export a Keynote presentation to Quicktime. This works, obviously, although it doesn't maintain the carefully timed transitions I set up. Instead, it just the default transition time for every slide, instead of the custom transitions I entered.
The default transition time now is 5 seconds. I tried removing the 5 but it just returns and entering 0 seconds does exactly that; 0 seconds.
Does anybody have an idea as to what I should do to fix this dastardly problem?

This is a well known problem with Keynote 6.1, the only thing you can do is use Keynote 5.3 instead, if you have it.
Meanwhile sit back and wait to see if Apple issues a fix in the schedule of updates they said they would issue during 2014.

Hyperlinking between two keynote presentations

Im a professional presenter who's always used microsoft powerpoint (been using powerpoint on a macbook pro). In Powerpoint, you can create a presentation, and then insert hyperlinks to navigate to any number of other powerpoint presentations. During a presentation (obvisouly in presenter view) when you click on hyperlink in (say) your 'master' presentation (I'll call it 'master'), then you go to slide 1 in the hyperlinked presentation (lets call this presentation 'hyper 1'). At the end of the 'hyper 1' presentation, when you click through past the last slide, you then end up back on the same slide that you were on in the 'master' presentation (the slide that had the hyperlink on it to start with)... still in presenter view. Most of the audience has no idea that this even happened - its seamless. And you can do this any number of times over during the same slide show, to get to other presentations and back again to your 'master' presentation. Apple's Keynote seems to not allow this. If I do the above in Keynote, then at the end of the 'hyper' presentation the slide show escapes out of presentation mode. I found suggestions in help forums to use cmd+tab or cmd+shift+tab but this doesnt work. And even if it did it would not be ideal... because if you accidentally hit advance on the last slide of a hyperlinked presentation it will then escapse presenter mode - pklus you will need to know that it's the last slide. Also, you then have to step up to your computer, and I need a mouse controlled solution (on that note, I use a remote mouse when presenting, which allows me to move the cursor). As a work-around, I tried inserting another hyperlink on the last slide of the (say) 'hyper 1' presentation... but you guessed it already... it then takes you to slide 1 in your 'home' presentation, and not back to where you were (and you cant instruct it to go to a specific slide). By the way, the reason I do this is to allow me the freedom to navigate as I please in presentations, as oposed to being trapped with just the sequence of the slides in one presentation. HELP!

I found a solution to this by accident when doing a presentation a few days ago in a classroom, just because I do a lot of copying and pasting of old stuff into new presentations.
Take the last slide of 'Hyper 1' and copy it over into the 'master'
Inside master, create a hyperlink in the copied slide to the slide you want to return to.
Then recopy the copied slide (with the new hyperlink) back into 'Hyper 1' . If the accident I saw occur in my own presentation is on track, when you click the hyperlink in the slide now, it should take you to the slide you had created the hyperlink for when the copied slide was being edited in 'master'.
Does that make sense?
Both presentations have to have been already saved somewhere for this to work.
You can do this with individual shapes/images I think as well.
